Chinese students at Hogwarts

In the beautiful round principal's office, the strange silverware is exhaling a faint smoke.

Some gadgets made tinkling sounds, and Zhang Xiao felt that no matter where he came, he would be involuntarily attracted to this room.

Because it almost satisfies all the imagination of the wizarding world, it is not so dark, there are no terrible experiments, there are only mysteries and novelties.

The portrait hanging on the wall stopped pretending immediately after realizing that it was Zhang who entered the door.

All old acquaintances.

They stretched and rubbed their arms and cheeks, and Delise Devont pulled her therapist hat off her head and muttered:

"I don't know what they were thinking, why they had to draw a picture of "The Headmaster of Hogwarts at St. Mungo's". This hat is too small and very uncomfortable!"

The other portraits shouted: "That's right, Delise, look at us.

Oh my god, why do I look like I'm pointing into the distance? "

"Who do you think you are? I still look like David, with such a heavy dress and robe hanging on one finger!

One!

Ouch, my fingers, my shoulder blades."

Some of the portraits were more relaxed. They stretched their necks and shouted: "Zhang, have you made any noise again?"

Fox stretched out his head and yelled at him a few times, then pointed to his tail. The meaning was very clear. My brother has just finished nirvana and his feathers haven't grown out yet. I'll give them to you later.

Zhang Xiao placed the cage in his hand on the table in the principal's office and waited quietly.

The sound of "dong dong dong" came downstairs, and Dumbledore came down from the bedroom on the second floor, his long beard fluttering and a smile on his face:

"Zhang, excellent Patronus Charm. This level of physical Patronus is rare even in the Order of the Phoenix."

He looked at the rat Banban on the table, signaled Zhang Xiao to help himself, and ordered two drinks. Thank God, it was not iced lemon juice, but butter beer.

Now Zhang Xiao's saliva started to secrete unconsciously when she saw the lemon juice.

"So this time you came to me urgently about this mouse?"

Can't Dumbledore see it? Zhang Xiao was a little surprised.

Although my Dharma Eye is just getting started, the strength of Dharma Eye is largely affected by the golden light.

The three-inch golden light Dharma Eye is definitely not bad, after all, this is the lever drawn by the Taoist sect to walk in the world.

He has already tried it with Dharma Eye, if he concentrates and raises his concentration to the extreme.

You can vaguely see a stooped, short, illusory figure on Banban's body.

It is the soul of Peter Pettigrew.

This also solved one of his questions, which was whether the soul would deform if the Animagus deformed.

The answer is no, because Animagus transformation is a complete transformation, that is, the body is completely transformed into a certain animal.

According to the scientific theory of ordinary humans, neither cats nor dogs, nor even Rita Skeeter’s Beetle, can absolutely support the operation of human thinking.

So there must be something that replaces the brain for thinking operations.

That is the soul.

Since ghosts can preserve memories and communicate normally, what about the complete soul body of the three souls and seven souls?

Couldn't Dumbledore see that it was because wizards lacked the means to directly observe souls?

Zhang Xiao suppressed these complicated thoughts and said in a purely factual tone:

"Professor, this mouse seems to be an Animagus, and its name is Peter Pettigrew."

The smile disappeared from Dumbledore's face. He put down the cup, his expression became serious, and he quickly walked to the cage and looked at it carefully.

Zhang Xiao found that Dumbledore's gaze lingered on the mouse's front paws for a long time.

"Oh yes, the powerful life and death water. Zhang, smart choice."

Dumbledore praised softly: "It can easily make people lose their ability to resist. Now let's see."

He opened the cage, took the mouse out, and threw it on the ground. He didn't know what magic Dumbledore used.

The mouse actually quickly twisted, expanded and deformed on the ground.

Soon he turned into a short man curled up on the ground.

His hair was very sparse, dull, and lay limply on his head, with a small patch of bald spot in the middle. His fingers were bent unconsciously, just like a real mouse.

"Zhang, tell me how you discovered him."

Dumbledore stared at the person lying on the ground. This was the first time that Zhang Xiao felt anger and unspeakable sadness from Dumbledore.

"Professor, I have been curious about this mouse since I met Ron on the train before the first grade.

Because few mice can live longer than three years, but this mouse has been in Ron's house for eleven years alone, and apart from sleeping more, it shows no signs of aging.

I didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking that rats in the wizarding world generally had longer lifespans. "

Zhang Xiao stopped, and the following was the key point. He took out the Marauder's Map, pointed his wand on it, and said softly:

"I solemnly swear that I will do no evil."

Thin lines of ink, as thin as a spider's web, immediately began to appear where the wand had just touched.

These lines meet and cross each other, extending to every corner of the parchment;

A line of distorted green characters appeared on the paper:

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs proudly present the Marauder's Map to you gentlemen!

When this line of words appeared, Dumbley became obviously emotional, and he let out a soft sigh.

Immediately afterwards, the map was completely revealed.

In addition to the complete map of Hogwarts, the more noteworthy items are the tiny dots of ink that move along the map, each labeled with a name in tiny letters.

The tip of Dumbledore's nose almost touched the Marauder's Map, and he lay on it and looked at it carefully.

A small dot of ink in the upper left corner shows two names, one is Dumbledore and the other is Peter Pettigrew.

"Incredible, powerful traces of human traces, coupled with the excellent application of the transformation spell, I should award them a medal."

He tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Xiao. He seemed very surprised that his name was not on the map. Zhang Xiao made a very Western-style hand gesture toward the principal.

Maybe it's a pendant, maybe it's something else. Zhang Xiao is also curious why his name doesn't appear on the Marauder's Map.

But Dumbledore's current focus was not on this. He gently brushed his name, and the black dot representing him on the Marauder's Map slowly disappeared.

“So—Zhang, you discovered it based on this map?”

Zhang Xiao nodded and came up with the words he had prepared:

"Yes, I went out and wanted to contact you before being sent to the Chamber of Secrets by the portkey, but I found on the map that in addition to the roving professor, there was an unfamiliar name in Gryffindor's tower.

All students should be in the auditorium at this time.

I thought Peter Pettigrew was the attacker, but what happened next denied my guess, which made me very curious.

So I often watched the Marauder's Map and found that this Peter often stayed motionless in Harry's dormitory.

So I found an excuse to go and take a look in case Harry and Ron were in danger. "

Dumbledore was obviously very satisfied with Zhang Xiao's behavior of caring for his classmates, and nodded gently in agreement.

"I'm going to use these eyes." Zhang Xiao opened his Dharma Eyes, and his whole eyes suddenly became crystal clear, looking very energetic:

"Go and see if there's anything lurking in Harry's dormitory.

Finally he was found. "

Dumbledore silently put away the Marauder's Map and handed it to Zhang Xiao:

"Thank you, Zhang. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid some truths would be buried forever, some people would die of guilt, and some would live on betrayal and betrayal.

There are also people who can only be depressed and numb themselves with alcohol every day, and can only return to the good times in their sleep."

Zhang Xiao listened quietly, acting like an outstanding student who knew nothing about qualifications.

Some things cannot be hidden, and this is not a secret. After Peter Pettigrew was caught, many things were destined to be made public.

Sure enough, Dumbledore put on a new drink and said slowly:

"Zhang, according to your personality, you should have looked up the deeds of Peter Pettigrew, right?"

See, that's the stereotype.

"Yes, Peter Pettigrew, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class, found the 'evil' Death Eater Sirius Black alone.

Asked why he betrayed Harry's parents, James and Lily, and died in the end, leaving only one finger. "

"Yes. Yes, this is what was reported in the newspaper." Dumbledore nodded.

Zhang Xiao pointed to the sleeping Peter Pettigrew lying on the ground, and continued to play the role of a member of the public who did not know the truth:

"Professor, now that Peter Pettigrew is lying here, does that mean there is another truth to the matter? Or is it not what people see?"

The ears of the portraits were all pricked up, and just like Zhang did every time he came, they quickly walked through the streets and ran into other people's frames.

Phineas Black's goatee twitched as he screamed:

"Dumbledore, my poor offspring was wronged?"

"Quiet, Phineas!" Dumbledore waved his hand to silence all the portraits, his eyes became distant and deep, as if he was remembering something:

"There were once four friends. They were such good friends, inseparable and high-spirited.

They didn't deal with the Death Eaters in school. During that time, Voldemort was rampant. These righteous teenagers immediately devoted themselves to the cause of fighting Voldemort after graduation.

They are so outstanding that they have escaped death many times with their courage, wisdom, and ability, and have completed many tasks brilliantly.

Everyone thought that the four friends would continue like this and eventually become a part that cannot be ignored in the wizarding world, spreading their light and heat from high places.

But tragedy always comes when people are happiest, reminding them of the impermanence of the world. "

Dumbledore was silent, and the portraits listened intently. Only the silverware made a slight "puff" sound.

After a while, he finally continued:

"During this period, one of them gained love and had the fruit of love. They were ready to give their children a quiet environment to grow up, so they decided to live in seclusion.

But Voldemort hated these warriors who disrupted his plans, and he had been eager to kill them to prove his strength.

This group of smart friends already had a countermeasure, and they decided to use the Red Bold Loyalty Spell to protect their homes.

Their friendship is stronger than the hardest fairy metal, and the four partners are like brothers.

But tragedy still happened, someone shamefully betrayed his friend, and the strong friendship that night was like sand."

Dumbledore looked at Zhang Xiao, with unspeakable sadness in his blue eyes, and asked softly:

"Zhang, I think you already understand the truth, right?"

Zhang Xiao nodded:

"I think I understand."

Dumbledore summoned an owl and quickly wrote some words on the parchment. The owl stretched out a leg for him to tie the letter, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiao asked tentatively:

"Professor, since Peter is here, does that mean Sirius is innocent?"

Dumbledore nodded and said something tantamount to a bombshell:

"Yes. Black was innocent all along, I knew that from the beginning."

? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Before Zhang Xiao could speak, Phineas let out a sharp cry. He was so angry that his voice even trembled:

"Dumbledore, what did you say? You knew this all along?

Then. Why. Why should the Black family be brought into disgrace?

Do you know what was the last obsession that Juche instilled in me? ——The ancient and noble Black family. Don’t cut it off! "

Zhang Xiao also looked at Dumbledore in shock. This was something he had never imagined. Dumbledore actually knew that Black was wronged all along?

But in the third part, he just sat back and did nothing?

After a while, Zhang Xiao raised his head and stared at Dumbledore closely.

“I did always know and I approached him after it happened to try to get a little bit of the truth.

Blake didn't say anything, but I still saw it in a small way. "

Dumbledore stood up and walked to Peter's side:

"Blake was so guilty. He felt that he had killed his best friend, and even felt that permanent imprisonment in Azkaban was the best punishment for him.

If I rescued him, this child might end his life at any time. After all, besides suffering and torturing himself, his only obsession was to kill Peter, the traitor.

But Peter was ‘dead’.”

Phineas on the wall closed his mouth and swayed.

Blake could indeed do such a thing. Zhang Xiao sighed silently in his heart. If he had to sacrifice his life for a good friend, Harry's godfather would probably not even frown.

No one has considered the pain and guilt in Blake's heart, the kind of suffering that is worse than death.

"So I can only pretend that I don't know anything, and find someone to look after him behind the scenes so that he doesn't die in Azkaban.

Find an opportunity to send him some newspapers to relieve his boredom."

Dumbledore's plain white robes suddenly transformed into robes embroidered with stars and moons, and Peter floated beside him.

Just listen to the old man saying in a low voice:

"Now that Peter has been caught, Blake"

Zhang Xiao raised his hand with a swoosh:

"Principal, take me with you!"
