Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 432 The truth

Looking at the crazy Scabbers, Ron subconsciously retreated to the wall, grabbed his chest with one hand, and asked with a bit of hysteria: "What the **** is going on? Can anyone explain it to me?"

 The pet he had kept for several years actually knew how to use a wand. Now he just felt that his mind was in a mess and he didn't dare to get close to Banban anymore.

"That's what we want to ask too." Professor Lupine glanced at Blake, who was laughing non-stop, and frowned: "How do you know that Peter can't change back?"

Kyle did not answer immediately, but took out his wand.

 “Fainted to the ground!”

Peter, who was banging the wand, immediately fell to the ground.

 Afterwards, Kyle returned the wands of Hermione and Professor Lupin to them, and then explained: "Because of the tonics I brewed for it."

"Tonic?" Hermione frowned as she took the wand, "But the book never said that pet tonics can prevent Animagus from returning to human form."

"Normally," Kyle said, "but I added a whole dried mandrake leaf to the tonic...and the one on top of the root."

 “What did you say?” Professor Lu Ping subconsciously raised his voice.

Mandrake leaves are not cheap at all. One piece costs five Sickles, but the one on top of the root is even more expensive, almost ten times the price of ordinary leaves.

Such an expensive thing was enough for him to live for a month, but Kyle actually used it to make a tonic for a mouse?

Did Kyle know that Scabbers was Peter before?

 That's not right... Professor Lupine shook his head. They were the only ones who had seen Peter's Animagus, and Peter's fake death happened twelve years ago. How old was Kyle at that time, two years old? Still three years old!

"It can be considered a coincidence..." Kyle ignored Professor Lupin's strange expression and continued: "I originally wanted to make the tonic more effective, but I didn't expect that he was actually an Animagus."

"But...does it matter?" Harry blinked and asked with a blank look on his face.

"Of course it does matter." Kyle conjured a cage and locked Peter in it, saying without raising his head.

He originally thought that someone would help explain, but until he finished dealing with Peter, no one around him spoke.

Even Hermione and Lupin looked at him confused, with the same expression as Harry.

“Don’t you ever read herbal medicine books other than textbooks?” Kyle asked subconsciously.

Hermione shook her head slightly. Among all the books she had read, herbal medicine was the least popular.

Professor Lupine also turned his head away. His situation was similar to Hermione.

"Okay..." Kyle sighed and could only continue: "Mandrake leaves are a very good thing for magical animals. They can treat wounds and enhance physical fitness... They are used in many places, but for magical animals The Animagus is different. You should know what the first step is to learn the Animagus..."

 The last words were spoken by Kyle to Blake.

"Of course I remember." Blake in the air did not ask Kyle how he knew he was an Animagus. He just rubbed his sore chin and said, "Hold a mandrake blade in your mouth for a month. …Honestly, that month was so hard, I almost gave up several times.”

"That's it."

Kyle said, "The role of the Mandrake leaf is to record all the information about you as a wizard. It is equivalent to another "you", or a beacon that guides the direction..."

 “What lighthouse?” Harry was confused.

He felt like he was taking Professor Trelawney's divination class, and he didn't understand anything at all. The main focus was on participation.

"Okay, let me put it simply." Kyle sighed, "It means that the ghost-faced moth pupa can transform you from a human into an animal, and the mandrake leaves can transform you back..."

 “What is the Ghost-Faced Hawkmoth… Ouch!”

Harry wanted to ask again, but before he could finish his words, Hermione elbowed him on the waist, causing him to grimace in pain.

"That's a potion material." Kyle glanced at him and continued: "So when an Animagus eats a large number of mandrake leaves in animal form, the "wizard" in the body will The information will be gradually dispersed until it is completely irreversible." "But that's impossible..." Hermione frowned, "Professor McGonagall talked about the Animagus, but she didn't tell us to pay attention to this. One thing, if it’s really as dangerous as you say, there’s no way the professor wouldn’t have warned us.”

"Because there is no need." Kyle said, "Strictly speaking, the information of the "Wizard" is difficult to disperse, unless it is eaten for several years... and once it returns to human form midway, the information will be reunited.

There are not many Animagus in the first place, but the probability of being an animal for five consecutive years and eating things containing mandrake leaves is too low...

 In the entire magical world for a thousand years, there was only one person... Oh no, there should be two now. "

Kyle glanced at Peter in the cage.

Blake started laughing again.

Professor Lupine looked at Kyle and suddenly asked, "Did you already know that Scabbers is Peter?"

Kyle turned his head and said, "Why do you say that?"

"Because I didn't see surprise in you." Professor Lupin said, "Whether it was me, Harry, Ron, or Hermione, they were all shocked after confirming that Scabbers was Peter. Only you were different, very calm. "

 Hearing what he said, everyone looked at Kyle at the same time.

Ron seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Hermione.

"The reason why I'm not surprised is because this is not the first time this has happened." Kyle shrugged.

"What?" Professor Lupine was stunned, as if he didn't expect Kyle to say that.

“Actually, a similar thing happened when I was in first grade. Another student’s pet was also an Animagus, and it was also a mouse.”

Kyle smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Fred and George, or other students above the fourth grade, they all know."

 Everyone looked at each other with wonderful expressions.

 Harry and the others entered school a year later than Kyle, so naturally they didn't know about it. Not to mention Professor Lupine, he only came here this year, and he only heard a rough idea of ​​what happened before from other professors, and it was basically related to Harry.

 He didn’t ask any further questions.

After listening to Kyle's explanation, Harry nodded to express his understanding... To be honest, if he saw another face on the back of a person's head now, he wouldn't be surprised either.

Soon, the room fell into silence, leaving only Blake's gradually hoarse laughter.

Harry felt a little awkward. He looked at Professor Lupin hesitantly, wanting to ask something, but he didn't know how to ask.

 But his expression is really easy to guess.

 “Want to know about Lily and James?” Professor Lupine asked.

"Yes." Harry nodded, "I just heard you say that you used to be friends."

“It’s the best friend, at least to me.” Professor Lupine said.

"Then can you tell me?" Harry asked urgently: "What happened, and what did the secret keeper you just mentioned mean."

Professor Luping hesitated for a moment, then nodded...

“Okay, you have the right to know the truth, but I only know the beginning, and Sirius will tell you later...

Let me think about where to start...I first met James and Lily when I was at school..."
