Chapter 187 Clue: Lupine's Testimony

When the secret passage was closed, a stone statue holding a two-handed sword emerged from the wall.

I saw it suddenly thrust the big sword downwards, and the body of the stone squatted down, completely blocking the secret path under it.

At this moment, Rosie saw Snape walking up the stairs with a gloomy face, followed by Lupine who looked a little nervous and the short Flitwick.

"Where's Sirius Black?"

Snape's thin face was tense, Rosie could hear the hatred in his heart without even looking at his expression, just by his voice.

"He ran away!"

Rossi pointed to the half-squatting stone statue holding a sword on the ground, "From there."

"where?"

Snape glanced at the stone statue, and confirmed to Rosie again.

Glancing at Lupine, who seemed particularly nervous, an idea popped up in Rossi's mind:
Black can walk freely in Hogwarts, I am afraid that Lupine's help is indispensable, right?Or has he been helping Black since the Hogwarts Express?
"say!"

Seeing Rosie wandering off into the sky, Snape couldn't help scolding, "Where did he escape from!"

"It's here!"

Rossi still pointed at the stone statue, "There is a secret passage down there."

"How do you open it?" Flitwick asked softly.

"I didn't see how Black turned it on, it seems to be..."

Before Rossi could finish his sentence, Snape took a step forward, waving his wand and pointing at the stone statue:

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

The stone statue holding the sword floated up and moved aside with Snape's wand.

It's just that although the stone statue was removed, the secret passage leading downstairs was not opened.

Rosie twitched the corner of her mouth and was about to speak when she asked Snape to point his wand over again.

"Blast Rumble!"

There was a bang, and the hole that only allowed one person to pass appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this situation, Rossi froze for a moment.

Uh... irritable Sijiao, I can't afford to provoke...

Snape gave Rosie a sideways look, then ducked into the hole and followed quickly.

"I'll go down with Snape, Lupine, you stay here and wait for Dumbledore!"

As Flitwick said, he jumped into the hole.

Is it so smooth?Is this the advantage of short stature?
Looking at the hole that was blown out by the blasting spell, even if one person passed through it would feel crowded, and then thinking about Flitwick's action of jumping in just now, Rossi couldn't help turning the thought of disrespecting the professor in his mind.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Lupine couldn't help but say:
"What did he tell you? Uh... I mean, Blake."

Rossi didn't answer his question, but when the other party was expecting an answer, he chose to ask: "You helped him enter Hogwarts?"

Lupine's expression froze instantly.

There was no need for him to answer, just looking at his current expression, Rossi knew the answer.

"Blake said he was framed and Peter Pettigrew was the spy who bombed the street and betrayed Harry's parents."

"Do you believe him?"

Lupine asked in a barely audible voice.

You can tell from his appearance that what he is asking is actually himself.Rossi hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled softly:
"Don't you have the answer?"

"Yes, I should have had the answer long ago."

Lupine smiled bitterly, "I should have known earlier, how could a person like Black bow his head to the Dark Lord, how could he be his lackey, how dare I doubt him before?!"

After a pause, Lupine spoke again, with a kind of nostalgia in his voice:

"Back in school, me, James, Blake and Peter, the four of us were best friends.

During the heyday of the Dark Lord, we also entrusted each other with life and death, and jointly resisted the Death Eaters. "

With a long sigh, he continued:
"Even if Black put the evidence in front of me, I still can't believe it, why did Peter turn to the Dark Lord, why did he betray James..."

"evidence?"

Do you mean that newspaper?

Lupine nodded: "James and Peter are both unregistered Animagus..."

"And Blake."

After adding the information he deliberately concealed, Rossi smiled slightly.

"Yes, and Blake."

Lupine, who wanted to keep a secret for his friend, smiled awkwardly, "Peter's Animagus form is a mouse, um, it's the mouse that Ron once raised."

"When Blake held the newspaper with the Weasley family's photo in front of me, I recognized Peter's identity at a glance!"

"If it wasn't for the ghosts in his heart, why did he turn into a mouse and hide for 12 years!
So that newspaper is enough to be called evidence to me! "

"Ding, got the clue: Lupine's testimony."

The system prompt sounds again.

Well, it seems that the key now is to find and capture Peter Pettigrew, otherwise their testimony can only be clues, empty talk that cannot form a conclusion.

Rossi muttered silently, and turned to look at Lupine:
"Do you have any clues as to the whereabouts of Peter Pettigrew?"

"No, but I have a feeling that he's hiding in Hogwarts!"

Lupine shook his head first, and then said in a particularly affirmative tone, "What he is best at is hiding in dangerous and conspicuous places."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore and McGonagall came over.

"What's the matter?"

Dumbledore looked at the hole that was blasted open, doubts hung on his old face.

"Black fled here, and Snape and Professor Flitwick chased after him," Lupine explained.

Hearing his words, Dumbledore's expression immediately became serious:
"McGonagall, inform all the students to return to the auditorium. For the safety of the students, let them spend the night in the auditorium tonight!"

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

Mag nodded, and then walked downstairs quickly.

"Notify all faculty members to conduct a full search of the castle."

As Dumbledore said, he raised his finger and pointed towards the blasted hole.In an instant, the shattered fragments of the floor rose up, returning to their original state like going back in time.

Immediately afterwards, the stone statue that was moved aside also returned to its original position.

Cast spells without a sound!

Dumbledore's method made Rosie's eyes shine.

"Principal, aren't Snape and Flitwick still inside?" the administrator Filch reminded.

"It is impossible for those who enter here to return the same way, Filch."

Dumbledore explained with a smile, obviously, he has enough knowledge about the secret passages of Hogwarts.

"Rosie, tell me what happened."

After dealing with everything, Dumbledore finally turned his attention to Rosie.

Hearing his question, Rossi pursed her lips lightly: "I was planning to go back to the dormitory to get something..."

After telling what he had seen, Rossi carefully looked into Dumbledore's eyes: "Professor Dumbledore, do you think Black's words are trustworthy?"

"This will not be determined until Peter is captured."

Dumbledore blinked meaningfully, "Perhaps it's too early to say whether you believe it or not."
