"Unfortunately, Professor Slughorn just said that some of the necessary ingredients in this potion will lose their effect immediately if they come into contact with sugar." Regulus said seriously.

"The smell is a bit worse, but compared to the deformation, what else can't be tolerated?" Lupine pulled up a chair and sat down, "So, what do you have to ask me about?"

Regulus turned the sofa at an angle so that he was facing Lupin, and the smile on his face had disappeared.

"Indeed I prepared several questions, but one of them is meaningless. You can't be James Potter's Secret Keeper."

"Are you so sure?" Lupine asked.

"You two have been inseparable since you were in school. It's impossible to hide this little secret of yours from them." Regulus said firmly, "No offense, but if I put myself in their shoes, I would not let a werewolf be the secret keeper. , it has nothing to do with trust, it’s just because it’s not suitable.”

"That's right." Lu Ping looked a little lonely.

"Then based on the deep relationship between you, there are only two choices for the secret keeper."

"Actually, there are three. Mr. Dumbledore once proposed that he himself should be the secret keeper." Lu Ping corrected, "Actually, thinking about it now, that should be the safest approach. We know that Feng... there is someone in the organization. The traitor, that person knows a lot of things and his status is not low. But James feels that he should trust his friends. "

"What about you? Do you believe that your friend will be a traitor?" Regulus asked sharply.

"Only when the secret keeper takes the initiative to leak the secret, the Loyalty Charm will be destroyed." Lupine scratched his hair in distress, and his gray hair became even more messy, "At that time, they caught Sirius and convicted him. All of this It's logical. After all - sorry, I don't want to stir up trouble - after all, everyone knows the position of the Black family. Many people think that his running away from home and severing ties with the family is just a ploy to cover up others' eyes and infiltrate us... "

"Then he really played a big game. He identified James Potter at a glance from the train when he was 11 years old, and accurately predicted that ten years later, the Dark Lord would have a reason to kill him. , so I started cultivating a relationship with him from that time on." Regulus sneered disdainfully, "I might as well tell you that our Black family does not have prophet blood."

Lupine was silent.

"As a former Death Eater, I can responsibly tell you that since he ran away from home at the age of 16, he has never had any form of contact with us." Regulus said firmly, " He can't be a traitor."

"To be honest, I don't believe he is a traitor either." Lupine said weakly, "But apart from him and Peter, there can be no other choice of secret keeper, and Peter is already dead."

"You all say Peter is dead, where is the evidence?" Regulus asked.

"Some eyewitnesses, a dozen Muggles, had their memories altered afterwards. They only remembered that there was a gas explosion on that street." Lupine recalled the situation at the time and replied, "And they found Peter's A finger, and the corpses of twelve Muggles."

"So, twelve Muggles were able to find complete corpses. Only Peter was blown into pieces and evaporated. Not even the second body fragment could be found." Regulus' tone made Lupine shudder. " You are a clever wizard, Remus Lupin, do you know which magic can cause such a result? Blast a person to pieces, but leave a finger intact?"

"You mean..." Lupine opened his eyes in shock.

"There are too many suspicious things here. The witnesses are all Muggles, and their memories have been altered. In other words, there are no witnesses at all." Regulus's voice seemed to be talking to himself, "He He was thrown into Azkaban without trial, and from what I understand, his wand should have been destroyed as well..."

A sharp whistle sounded, interrupting Regulus's thoughts.

Apparently a wizard entered the range of the magic alarm and triggered the Howling Curse.

After the spell was lifted, Regulus went out to check.Outside was a man in his 30s, wearing a suit, a pair of sweatpants on his legs, and a weird backpack. Pedestrians passing by looked at his strange outfit with disgust.

"Mr. Slughorn asked me to come here to help. I hope I'm in the right place." Seeing Regulus, the man took the initiative to say hello.

"Welcome, Mr. Smesek." Regulus led the man into the house.

"Where is my patient?" He quickly spotted Lupin, "Merlin's beard! You look really bad!"

Smethyk immediately got to work.

"Wolfsbane potion is not my professional specialty, but it is obviously very effective. I didn't notice any adverse reactions... As for these wounds..." Smethyk lifted up Lupin's shirt and pointed to the dagger scratches on it. He commented, "Did you just come back from the Acromantula's lair? How did you end up like this?"

"Well, it's a long story..." Lupine glanced at Regulus and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, these wounds were caused by me, and we had a fight." Regulus said frankly, "My dagger is a bit special... I used a counter-spell, but it still left scars. You know, We were not in a good position to go directly to St Mungo's."

"Excellent magic..." Smethyk pulled out his wand and murmured, checking Lupin's injuries.

"Sir, I'm afraid you have to come back to St. Mungo's with me. I lack the necessary medicines here, and you can't get care." Soon, he concluded, "But you will be fine. I can treat you." Good on you."

Lupine wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Regulus.

"Then thank you. I will go to St. Mungo's to pay the fee in person later... You don't have to look at me like this." Regulus turned to Lupin, "After all, I was the one who made you like this, and you deserve compensation. should."

"But I haven't asked for leave from my boss yet. If I leave without saying goodbye, I'm afraid I'll be fired." Lupine understood what Regulus meant and made a joke to change the subject.

"I'm sorry for losing your job. But Damocles Belby should welcome you as his assistant. You know, it is not easy to find a werewolf as a volunteer to test his drugs. . If you are willing, I can help with the matchmaking, as compensation." Regulus also smiled.

"Then let's hit the road right now? Can I borrow your fireplace?" Smethyk suggested.

"I'll just go by myself. Didn't you just get off work?" Lupine heard Slughorn's words before.

"What are you talking about! How can I leave the patient alone?" Smethyk insisted on going on the road with Lupine.

So the two of them packed up and rushed to St. Mungo's Hospital via Floo Network.

After seeing the two off, Regulus returned to Sirius's bedroom and stared at the photos on the wall.

"Peter Pedillo, you are the only one left."
