Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 223 Gryffindor is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

After the battle, Hermione also emerged from behind a cabinet.

She watched Harley apply layers of gray light to Pettigrew's body, and couldn't help but feel curious:

"Harry, why did you knock him out directly? Don't you need to interrogate him?"

"No need for the moment," Harley shook her head, "I want to take him to find some people and determine some important truths."

With that said, Harley clapped her hands gently, no longer applying curses and black magic, but summoned more spider silk, wrapping it around Pettigrew's body.

Hermione nodded, blushed again, and said sheepishly: "Sorry, Harry. My accuracy seemed a bit...a bit..."

Harley shook her head: "It's okay, it's normal."

"Actual combat is completely different from normal training, and various accidents will always occur."

"Not to mention that you have not done any relevant training. You are not good at actual combat. It is completely normal to be nervous."

Hermione frowned subconsciously, seeming a little dissatisfied, but she had to admit that Harry was telling the truth.

The little witch watched Harry quietly packing Peter Pettigrew, and suddenly asked quietly: "Then can you teach me practical combat?"

"Well...of course." Harley nodded.

After receiving a positive reply, Hermione's lips curled up into a smile and she said no more.

Finally, Harry finished the packing work: "Let's go, the Christmas gifts have been prepared in advance. Let's go to Principal Dumbledore now."

With that said, Harley waved her wand, and Peter Pettigrew levitated directly behind Harley.

The principal's office was not far from the Room of Requirement, and the two of them soon arrived in front of the stone statue.

"Harry," Hermione suddenly remembered something, "We don't seem to know the password to the Headmaster's Office."

"It doesn't matter, I have a way to inform Professor Dumbledore."

As he spoke, the silver Medusa emerged from the tip of Harry's wand and disappeared into the wall behind the stone statue.

About ten minutes later, the stone wall suddenly cracked and the stone statue jumped to the side.

Professor Dumbledore strode out wearing gold and red pajamas.

"Harry, calling me with your patronus in the principal's office in the middle of the night is not a good habit."

Professor Dumbledore said softly,

"I think the little wizard should be asleep in bed at this time, or at least in the common room."

"I'm sorry, Principal Dumbledore," Harley said with a sweet smile on her face, "but I have something very important to do."

"Yes, it is indeed important." Professor Dumbledore looked past Harry and Hermione and looked at Pettigrew suspended in mid-air.

Although Pettigrew was tied up like a rice dumpling with spider silk, his face was still exposed.

"Peter Pettigrew?" Professor Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses with surprise on his face.

"It's indeed him." Harley nodded.

"It seems that something happened in school that I don't know about," Professor Dumbledore said with a solemn look in his eyes.

"I wonder if you would like to go to the office and have a chat with me, an old man? By the way, take this friend who should be dead with you?"

"No, Professor." Harry looked seriously into Professor Dumbledore's blue eyes,

"I think we should discuss this matter in Hagrid's hut, and call Professor Lupin by the way."

Professor Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: "Things seem to be getting more interesting."

"Of course, Harley, but we still have to go to the office. I'll ask Fox to call someone."

"Of course, I also have to call out Professor McGonagall. I think as your Head of House, she is qualified to know certain things."

With that said, Professor Dumbledore turned and walked into the spiral staircase behind the wall, with Harry following closely behind him.

Hermione glanced at the constantly moving stairs and stepped up them carefully, subconsciously holding onto the corners of Harry's clothes.

After entering the principal's office, Fox stood in front of the table eating herbs.

"Fawkes," called Professor Dumbledore, "find Minerva and Remus for me and bring them directly to me."

Fox swallowed the herb in his mouth, raised his head and shouted, turning into a ray of fire.

"Please take a seat," Professor Dumbledore waved his wand and conjured two chairs.

"Would you like something to drink? Milk or black tea? If it's milk, do you want to add honey?"

"Milk and honey, thank you Professor." Harry said softly, and Hermione made the same choice.

After arranging the two students, Professor Dumbledore did not sit down, but studied Peter Pettigrew carefully.

Harley sipped her milk and looked up at the wall.

Because there were new people in the office, the old principals all had their eyes closed, and a few of them even snored.

But looking at their fluttering eyelashes, Harry guessed that they were basically pretending to sleep.

After a while, Fox appeared in the open space of the office with Professor McGonagall and Professor Lupin one after another.

Both professors were in their pajamas and holding wands.

After seeing Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall immediately asked: "Albus, what do you want from us..."

Before he finished speaking, Professor McGonagall saw Peter Pettigrew, and the rest of the sentence was stuck in her throat.

Professor Lupine, who arrived before Professor McGonagall, did not say a word, but stood side by side with Professor Dumbledore.

"Hallee met a special friend tonight, so I wanted to invite you all to hang out."

Professor Dumbledore said with a smile,

"Harry suggested that we go to Hagrid's cabin to discuss this matter in detail..."

Professor Luping's pupils shrank for a moment, and his breathing became rapid for a moment.

"...So let's talk in detail when we get there!"

Seeing that no one objected, Dumbledore coughed lightly.

Fawkes, who had already flown back to the table and continued eating herbs, let out an angry chirp, flew to Professor Dumbledore's head, and pecked him twice.

After a little venting of his emotions over being interrupted from eating, Fox began to work and sent several people outside Hagrid's hut.

When Hermione finally arrived, Fawkes gave Professor Dumbledore an angry look before falling into Harry's soft arms.

Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Fawkes who was having a temper with him, but knocked on the door of Hagrid's cabin.

"Hagrid, it's me, Dumbledore. I have something to ask you."

Several dog barks suddenly sounded from behind the door, but then there was a yell: "Ya Ya, shut up!"

Soon, there was a noise from the door, and a faint light lit up the window with the curtains drawn.

"Professor Dumbledore, please come in." Hagrid said loudly, while forcefully opening the door.

After opening the door, Hagrid saw a group of people behind Professor Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore, what happened..."

Before Hagrid could finish his words, Professor Dumbledore stopped him neatly: "We'll go in and discuss it in detail."

Hagrid nodded and said nothing more.

When everyone went in, Sirius, who was lying next to the stove, opened his eyes lazily, raised his head, and looked at the people coming.

He smelled some people. Three of them were familiar to him, but the remaining smell was somewhat unfamiliar and existed only in memories.

When Sirius saw Professor Dumbledore and others, he immediately shrank his neck and tried to use a chair to block himself.

But when he saw Peter, his dog's eyes suddenly opened as big as bells.

"Woof woof woof!" Sirius forgot to hide himself and howled loudly subconsciously, stepping on the chair and pounced on Peter Pettigrew.

However, he stopped in mid-air, and the white and tough spider silk tied his four dog legs.

"Please calm down, my dear godfather, Sirius Black."

Harry spoke softly, not loudly but clearly audible in Hagrid's room.

Professor McGonagall subconsciously took a step back and pulled out her wand, while Hermione covered her mouth and let out a rapid scream.

Professor Lupine sighed and lowered his head.

After hearing what Harry said, Hagrid picked up the chair and said, "Sirius? Where is this traitor! Are you saying this big black dog is Sirius?"

"Calm down, Hagrid!" Professor Dumbledore said in a slightly more serious tone.

When his identity was discovered, Sirius' mind went blank.

He glanced at Professor Luping subconsciously, but Professor Luping lowered his head and did not look at him at all.

After a moment's hesitation, the big black dog began to slowly transform into a black-haired middle-aged wizard.

"Sirius." Professor McGonagall looked at the familiar figure and said subconsciously, her voice full of complex emotions.

"Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid...Harry..." Sirius lowered his head, his voice trembling.

Professor Dumbledore didn't look at him, but waved his wand.

Chairs appeared next to the table, and the tableware on the table was put away by Hagrid into the cupboard.

Everyone sat down. Although Sirius was still tied tightly, the other end of the spider silk was also connected to the chair.

Peter was placed in the middle of the table, still unconscious.

"Harry, it seems that you know a lot of things. I think you can tell us what's going on?" Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry after everyone sat down.

"Of course." Harley nodded.

Then, she started talking about her encounter with Sirius, including discovering Professor Lupine's werewolf identity and Sirius' anomalies, and identifying Pettigrew's problem through the conversation between the two.

In the end, Peter Pettigrew was found, and Harry once again turned to the side magic left in the Potter family's omnipotent vault.

After all, his father and his friends could make the Marauder's Map back then, so it makes sense that the Potter family would have the inheritance of tracking magic.

When he heard that his werewolf identity had been discovered on the train, Professor Lupine smiled bitterly and was not surprised.

After all, Harley is so good, it's even more abnormal that she didn't realize her identity.

However, when Sirius heard that he had exposed so many doubts and that he had already been cursed with surveillance, his eyes widened in surprise.

He was sure that although this child looked like Lily, he usually behaved as well-behaved as Lily.

But Harley's essential character is definitely a mixture of James and Lily, a naughty little devil!

She actually silently placed a curse on herself and monitored herself at all times.

And after figuring out everything early, Harley was able to say nothing until she caught Peter Pettigrew alone!

This made Sirius feel very frustrated and felt that he was old and not as good as before.

But he also has a kind of pride, a kind of pride when he sees that his juniors can make a difference.

After listening to Harry's words, Professor Dumbledore crossed his index fingers and showed a thoughtful expression.

Professor McGonagall was a little shocked and felt a little lost at the same time.

I never expected that there would be crouching tigers, hidden dragons among my students!

Regarding the truth of the matter and who is the traitor, Professor McGonagall will not comment until the truth emerges.

But three illegal Animagus appeared that I didn't know about. You guys really gave me a surprise secretly!

Also, Harley's magical skills are so strong, but she doesn't even know about it!

As for Hagrid, he couldn't say a word anymore and felt like his brain had been burned dry.

Only Hermione sat there quietly, staring at Harry, as if stars were shining in her eyes.

"I probably understand," Professor Dumbledore finally spoke, "Remus, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore." Every word, every syllable, and even every punctuation mark that Professor Lupin spat out was trembling.

"I betrayed your trust. When James and I ignored the safety of others, we wandered into the Forbidden Forest on a full moon night."

"And after Sirius was brought into Hogwarts by Harry, I didn't tell you directly, but believed in my own judgment..."

"Remus." Professor Dumbledore gently interrupted Professor Lupine's self-blame.

"We can talk about self-blame later, we should start solving the current problems first."

"As a good friend of James and an important person involved, I would like to ask your opinion on the whole matter."

"Just like Harry said, Professor Dumbledore." Professor Lupine said softly,

"After Legilimency, I'm willing to believe Sirius."

Professor Dumbledore nodded and looked at the man who was tied to the chair: "Sirius, do you have anything to say?"

"No, nothing." Sirius shook his head, then looked at Harley,

"If I have anything to say, Harry, I'm proud of you. I think James and Lily feel the same way as I do."

"Also, can you let me kill that rat with my own hands and avenge James? Although the mistakes I made can no longer be corrected, at least... at least..."

Sirius seemed to think of painful memories, his voice trembled, and he could no longer speak.

But Harley poured cold water on him.

"Of course not, my dear godfather," Harley tilted her head and looked at Sirius, "If you really want revenge, then I should be the one to take revenge and let him pay for it with blood."
