Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 179 In the middle of the night, two old men looked at each other

Sirius' smile disappeared instantly after hearing Lupin's words.

He spoke, but his voice was no longer magnetic, but filled with distortion, hatred and murderous intent.

"If it were James, he would definitely listen to me and make a decision."

Having said this, Sirius paused for a moment, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, and then continued,

"If it was that rat, of course he would just kill me to cover up everything!"

"Oh?" Lu Ping raised his eyebrows,

"I think as someone who has experienced this matter, you should know how the magical world views this matter."

"But according to what you said, there seems to be another hidden agenda in this matter."

"I am now giving you this opportunity to explain, and what you say will determine my subsequent attitude towards you."

"Of course." Sirius nodded, and then told the whole thing in detail, starting from his role as the secret keeper.

"... Fudge is probably trying to gain political power."

"Anyway, he went to Azkaban to express condolences to pure-blood prisoners whose crimes were less serious, or whose families still had members outside the prison."

"Although I am probably the only one left in the Black family, Narcissa is still outside, so Fudge also made a show of it and gave me a newspaper."

"You can find out the newspapers and look at the front pages of these issues."

Sirius named a few dates and then finished his description.

Lupine took a deep look at him and nodded. While staring at Sirius, he slowly moved to the box and pulled out the Daily Prophet.

He threw the daily newspaper to Sirius casually: "Find those issues under my watch."

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds. Professor Lupine's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his wand, lengthening the chain on Sirius' right hand.

Sirius quickly pulled out a newspaper. The headline of the newspaper was "The Weasley family wins the front page award of the Daily Prophet."

Below is a family photo of the Weasley family.

Sirius pulled out a few more newspapers one after another and turned the photos of the Weasley family upward.

"Look at that red-haired boy named Ron, who is lying on his shoulders? Doesn't he look like a damn mouse?"

Professor Lupine tightened the restraint on Sirius again, and then began to read the newspaper, keeping an eye on Sirius from the corner of his eye.

But soon, he stopped paying attention to Sirius.

Because that mouse on Ron's shoulder is so familiar

The body shape, the color of the fur, and various details all coincided with the image in Professor Lupine's mind.

He also noticed that the mouse was missing a finger from its right front paw.

The largest piece of mutilated body left by a deceased person named Pettigrew at the scene of his death was a finger on his right hand.

At this time, Professor Lupine had already believed 70% of Sirius's words.

And Sirius smiled bitterly and said again: "If you are worried, I will let go of my brain."

"I remember you learned Legilimency. You can explore my memory at will."

Professor Lupine was silent for two minutes before raising his wand.

Although I am very sorry for my former friends, I want to be worthy of James and Lily, worthy of Professor Dumbledore's trust, worthy of my responsibilities, and even more worthy of Harley.

Professor Lupine still chose to break the law.

After a long time, when he lowered his wand, his eyes were filled with tears unconsciously, and there were two traces of tears on his face.

Just now, he watched the events of that year and some of Sirius' memories in Azkaban from Sirius's first-person perspective.

More importantly, he also personally experienced Sirius's repentance, pain and self-blame.

"You want me to cooperate with you and catch Peter?" Professor Luping retracted his thoughts, his voice seemed unusually hoarse, and there was a slight pause, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"of course."

"Then why didn't you tell Harley the truth?" Professor Lupine asked again.

This time it was Sirius' turn to be silent. Professor Luping also looked at him silently.

Two old friends in their thirties looked at each other in silence at night, and Professor Lupine understood everything.

Professor Lupine sighed, pointed at the food on the table, and said nothing.

……

It was getting late in the Gryffindor dormitory, and the common room was empty.

Everyone had a hearty meal and was lying peacefully on the bed.

Hermione originally wanted to hear Harry's analysis of the Ministry of Magic, but now she fell into a deep sleep.

Of course, she would not have slept so deeply or so early.

Unfortunately, the dormitory was filled with a thin lavender mist at some point.

Harry was standing in front of Hermione's bed, holding a small object in his hand and looking at it carefully.

It was a small golden hourglass with a long and fine golden chain attached to it.

The glass ball at one end of the hourglass contains countless tiny particles of sand. Although there is no light in the dormitory, the sand itself emits a psychedelic light.

When most people see it, they will only regard it as a piece of exquisitely crafted art and a timepiece for collection.

But Harley felt the power of the realm of time and destiny.

Harley quickly returned to her bed and took out the precious and carefully crafted magic mirror.

As Harley prayed silently, her image was reflected in the magic mirror, except that her beautiful long black hair turned into snake hair.

Harley's eyes were also filled with mysterious and brilliant green fluorescence.

Just now, she borrowed power from her mythical creature form!

Drawing on the power and personality of her mythical creature form, Harley explores the abilities of the hourglass in her hands.

"A very precious alchemy item. It probably has the function of traveling through time."

"Hermione has chosen all the classes, so at least two classes will be held at the same time."

"So Professor McGonagall gave her this hourglass so that she could take two classes at the same time?"

"No wonder it corresponds to the power of the time domain. It probably wants to reverse time."

"As for destiny... I remember that the saints of the Aurora Society used restarting spells? They seem to have an angel of the destiny path?"

"In this case, it is normal for me to feel the breath of the destiny path."

(ps. Regarding the specific form of the time turner, the original English version the author saw said it was an hourglass. The specific location is in the chapter "Hermione's Secret" in the Prisoner of Azkaban.

But I heard that what was shot in the movie was a pocket watch. The author uses the hourglass shape here, respecting the original work.

The author also artificially added a little bit about the settings of the time converter, which is a second setting. )
