Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Lupine told everyone in detail what happened to him and Sirius, Harry's father James Potter and Peter Pettigrew when they were students, and how the three of them became Animagus, Whomping Willow and Sharp. The origin of the shack, and the fact that several of them had a holiday with Snape when they were young, was something that Nydia had never known before.

"So, that's why Snape doesn't like you," Harry said, looking at Lupine. "He thinks you're in on the prank"

Before Lupine had time to answer, another cold sarcastic voice sounded behind him, a voice that Nydia was all too familiar with.

"That's right." Snape took off the invisibility cloak covering his body and appeared in front of everyone, "I found this under the Whomping Willow. It's very useful. Potter, I want to thank you."

"Expelliarmus"

Before anyone could react, Snape used a disarming spell to take away the wands in Sirius and Lupine's hands.

"Maybe you are wondering why I am here." Snape's eyes flashed with excitement, "I went to your office, Lupin, you forgot to take your medicine tonight, so I brought a cup. Lucky for me, that magical map, in plain sight, I saw you disappearing into the passage.”

"Severus" Lupine wanted to say something, but Snape stopped him.

"I have repeatedly told the principal that you were helping your old friend sneak into the castle, Lupin, and the evidence is right in front of me. Even I never thought that you would dare to use this old place as your shelter."

"Severus, you misunderstood." Lupine said urgently, "You didn't hear everything. I can explain that Sirius is not here to kill Harry."

"There will be two more people in Azkaban tonight," Snape said with a fanatical gleam in his eyes, "Lupin, a tamed werewolf."

"You fool, is it worth sending an innocent person to Azkaban just to celebrate his school days?" Lupine said.

But Snape didn't listen to him at all. He used the tip of his wand to shoot out thin ropes in the shape of a ray, which wrapped around Lupine's mouth, wrists, feet and neck. Lupine lost his balance and fell to the ground. Sirius saw this and rushed towards Snape, but Snape pointed his wand directly between Black's eyebrows.

"How delicious revenge tastes. I've been longing to catch you, Black," Snape whispered to Sirius.

"Professor Snape," Hermione walked out and said in an extremely weak voice, "There's no harm in listening to what they have to say, right?"

"Stupid girl, don't talk about things you don't understand. You are already facing suspension from school." Snape said sternly, "You are always talkative and don't shut up."

"You must listen to me," Sirius croaked, "that mouse, just take that mouse back to the castle"

"Go back to the castle," Snape said sarcastically, "I don't think you have to go that far. As long as you leave this willow tree, you will attract dementors. They will be happy to see you, Black. I think they will be happy to give you A little kiss from you”

What little color remained in Sirius's face disappeared.

"Let's all get out," Snape said, snapping his fingers, and the end of the rope that tied Lupin flew into his hands. "I'm dragging this werewolf, and maybe the dementors will give him a kiss."

Nydia rushed to the door of the room and blocked Snape's path.

"You can't teach them. They are innocent. You can't just take them out."

Snape looked at Nitya in surprise, and then said slowly and in a bad tone, "Nitya, get out of my way. Don't forget who you are. Being mixed with Black will not do you any good."

"I" Nidia lowered her head, "I'm sorry, the professor fainted"

Snape didn't expect that Nydia would cast a spell on him, so he couldn't avoid it. His whole body was knocked away by Nydia's spell and hit the wall, with a trace of blood seeping out of his hair.

"Nidia, you hit the teacher" Hermione looked at Nidia in fear.

"I know, but I can't let him just hand over Sirius and Lupine. They are innocent." Nydia could now imagine Snape's angry look after waking up.

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to you." Draco walked to Nydia, held her hand, and comforted her.

Sirius helped Lupine break free from the rope, "Thank you, Nydia"

"Harry, please listen to what they have to say." Nydia looked at Harry and the others pleadingly, "They are really innocent. Ron, as long as Scabbers is handed over, the truth of everything will be revealed."

"Forcing him to reveal his true form," said Lupine, "If it really is a rat, it won't hurt it."

Ron hesitated for a while, and finally reluctantly handed Scabbers over. Lupine took it, and Scabbers began to scream and twist at the top of his lungs.

"Are you ready?" Lupine looked at Sirius.

Sirius picked up the wand that Snape had dropped. He walked to Lupine and said, "Together?"

"I think so." Lupine held Scabbers tightly with one hand and raised his wand with the other, "Three two one"

Both wands sprayed out a blue light. For a moment, Banban stopped in mid-air, his gray body twisting wildly. After a dazzling flash, Banban disappeared, and a very short man stood beside Banban. He looked at the crowd, and they were looking at him in the same way.

"Hello, Peter." Lupine greeted him with a cheerful look, "Long time no see."

"Remus," Peter Pettigrew pointed at Sirius in horror, "he came to kill me again. He killed James and Lily, and now he comes to kill me again."

"Don't worry, Peter, no one will kill you until things are clear." Lupine said.

"Get it figured out," screamed Peter Pettigrew, "it's all too clear. It was him, it was he who turned to the Dark Lord, betrayed James and Lily, killed them, and then came after me."

"How dare you?" Sirius' face twisted with anger, "Yes, James and Lily wanted me to be their secret keeper at first, but I convinced them to use you as their secret keeper instead. I thought it was a good trick, a trap, and Voldemort would definitely come to me, but I didn’t expect that you told Voldemort, and that must be the proudest moment in your despicable life."

"Well" Hermione came out, "Mr. Black, I hope you don't mind me calling you that. Can I ask you a question? How did you escape from Azkaban? If you didn't use the black magic weapon taught by the mysterious man, Words of magic.”

"Yes, yes," Peter Pettigrew immediately agreed and nodded, "That's what I want to say."

Sirius frowned and looked at Hermione, but he was not angry with her, but thinking about the problem.

"I'm not particularly sure," Sirius said slowly, "but I guess it may have something to do with my identity as an Animagus. Dementors don't have that great influence on animals, so I didn't I lost my mind like other prisoners until I saw Peter's photo in the newspaper and I had the idea of ​​​​escape. Then I turned into a dog and got out between the iron bars."

"Believe me, Harry," Sirius hissed at Harry, "I have never betrayed James or Lily, and I would rather die than betray them."

Harry finally believed it. He was speechless and just nodded.

"No." Harry's nod was like a death sentence for Peter Pettigrew. He knelt down and moved towards Lupin, "Remus, Remus, we are friends."

"When you betrayed James and Lily, why didn't you think that they were also your friends?" Lupine said angrily.

"Ron Ron" Peter Pettigrew saw that he could not convince Lupine, so he turned to Ron again, "Am I not your good friend and good pet? You won't let them kill me, right? You will stand by my side, right?" no"

Ron looked at him with extreme disgust, "Go away, I let you sleep in my bed."

Peter Pettigrew knelt there, trembling uncontrollably, and then looked at Nidia. He rushed towards Nidia as if he had grasped the last straw.

"Miss, my lady, you must save me," Peter Pettigrew lowered his voice and said to Nydia, "I am your father's most loyal servant, he must"

Draco, who was standing next to Nydia, heard what Peter Pettigrew said. He realized that Peter Pettigrew knew Nydia's identity. In order to stop him from saying something he shouldn't say, he kicked him hard. Kicks Peter Pettigrew away from Nydia.

"Dirty things, don't touch Nydia." After saying this, Draco took out his wand and pointed it at Peter Pettigrew. He must be silenced forever to ensure Nydia's safety.

"No"

Nydia and Harry stopped Draco simultaneously.

"Nydia" Draco looked at Nydia in panic. "Can't keep him"

"No, Draco, no, not yet." Nydia grabbed Draco's hand holding the wand, "Kill him now, and there will be no way to prove Sirius' innocence."

"Yes, he must be handed over to the school to Dumbledore to put him in Azkaban." Harry also walked to Peter Pettigrew's side.

"Nydia if he goes back to school" Draco whispered worriedly to Nydia.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Nydia shook Draco's hand firmly, reassuring him not to panic.

"Harry" Peter Pettigrew hugged Harry's knees, "Thank you, thank you, I don't deserve it, thank you."

"Let me go," Harry said sternly, and he threw away Peter Pettigrew's hand in disgust, "I'm not doing this for you, but because my father wouldn't want the two of them to become murderers, for someone like you. people"

"You are the only one who has the authority to make this decision," Sirius said.

"Very good, I will tie him up and send him to the castle for punishment." Lupine shot out a string with his wand and tied Peter Pettigrew firmly.

"What should I do, Professor Snape?" Nydia looked apologetically at Snape who was lying on the ground.

Lupine pointed his wand at Snape and said, "Zombie floating." Snape floated into the air, like a balloon on an invisible string, and followed Lupine.

Lupine held Peter Pettigrew and led the way. Sirius and Harry supported the injured Ron together, then Hermione, Nydia and Draco followed at the end.

"Are you sure it's okay to let him go back to the castle?" Draco was still worried. After seeing the others walking away, he whispered to Nydia.

"It's okay, Dumbledore knew my identity from the beginning." Nydia understood Draco's worry.

"He knows," Draco said in surprise, "Then he still"

"He said he couldn't deprive me of my right to choose, but I think he was actually worried, so he asked Professor Snape to monitor me." Nidia shrugged helplessly, "It's the ones who stayed after class. school"

"So that's it." No wonder Snape, who had always favored his own house, suddenly started to be so interested in a Gryffindor student. Draco nodded in realization.
