war and peace

The people on the ground were motionless and seemed to have fainted.The students hid behind and watched Professor McGonagall walking past with his wand raised.Harry watched as she used her wand to direct the rope to turn the face-down man over, with a big bump on his head, and gasped.She stared at the deformed face, and ordered without looking back, "Everyone stay here until I come back, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." Then she suspended Peter in the air with a levitating spell, and walked out of the classroom.

Harry collapsed on the seat, only to realize that the palms of his wand were covered with sweat.Peter fainted and couldn't wake up for a while, which was great.But even if he was sober, it would be impossible to escape from the castle, and this time it wasn't the Screaming Shack.He stared blankly at a spider crawling to the corner of the table, and when it spun its silk and fell, he realized belatedly that it was his own.He was going to use it to practice the color-changing spell to wash away the previous revealing spell, Harry shouted reflexively: "Quickly imprison!"

A filament erupted from the tip of his wand, pinching the fleeing arthropod with perfect precision, and the spider hung upside down in mid-air, kicking feebly.Harry gave his wand a lift, and the spider was flung by the filaments into the round bowl on the table. "Turn from black to red!" he said, pointing to the spider, which was struggling to turn over in the bowl, and the color of its body slowly turned red.

This is solved.Harry leaned back in his chair, only then did he notice that the students around him who had been whispering had quieted down for some time, and everyone looked at him with awe-inspiring expressions on their faces. "Uh, I'm not..." Harry swallowed, it was not his intention to attract so many people's attention, "I mean, that's what Professor McGonagall said just now, didn't he?"

"Oh, Harry!" Hermione's eyes widened. "You did it once!" She looked like she wanted to say something more, and Harry didn't want to hear her say that there was nothing in the "Basic Transfiguration Guide" for this spell. Yes, he quickly interrupted her, "Are we going to start practicing? Professor McGonagall will definitely check when he comes back..."

Hermione frowned, she could see that Harry didn't want to talk about it, but she didn't understand why he would.Obviously Harry has always been able to do well, but he behaved like everyone else in class.And Tom too, Hermione glanced at the dark-haired, dark-eyed boy, who was staring at Harry - with interest.The two were actually quite alike, Hermione thought puffed up, and hoped Harry's reasoning was as plausible as Tom's!The first one seems to be the feeling of being let down is really bad!And it's two people!

When Professor McGonagall opened the door and came in, she found that her students were discussing the mouse that had turned into a human in groups.She coughed, and the classroom immediately fell silent: "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, you two had better go to the principal's office with me." Ron was obviously very nervous. He glanced at Harry for help, and found that The latter has already made its stride.

The two boys followed the topknot witch out, and as Harry closed the door, he heard the discussion inside grow louder.He thinks he knows what he's in for, and that's probably the only thing that's been making him happy lately.If only Sirius was waiting for him in the headmaster's office, Harry thought, but probably not so soon, he had to get past Dumbledore's level first.

They walked through the castle, and Professor McGonagall led them around, and finally stood in front of a huge gargoyle. "Earwax Strange Beans." Professor McGonagall seemed very reluctant to say that, but the stone beast came alive and jumped aside.Ron stared at the spiral stone staircase exposed from behind, and followed up hesitantly.

When Professor McGonagall pushed open the door, Harry saw a chartreuse bowler-striped top hat disappear into the fireplace.Fudge has been here, Harry thought with relief, he had never been so happy to see the Minister for Magic.Sirius will be out of jail soon... Harry thought, looking up to see the headmaster's piercing blue eyes fixed on a shrunken figure on the ground, with the sullen Potions professor standing beside him.

The always tidy floor of the headmaster's office was covered with shards of glass, and Harry thought he probably knew why: someone accidentally knocked over the Veritaserum bottle, and there was still some clear liquid left on it.The frescoed figures on the walls were all whispering to each other, and one in particular looked angry—"Despicable bastard! Shameless traitor! How dare you insult the noble Black family!" It was Phineas Nigellus Black, He was shaking his fist at the people on the ground.

Seeing the three people coming in, Dumbledore raised his head to gesture to the portrait on the wall, and the room fell silent. "Thank you, Minerva," he said, who nodded and stepped aside.Then Dumbledore turned to the two boys who didn't seem to know what to do, and said in a heavy tone, "Children, I think we've just discovered something very important, and it happens to be about you."

Ron stared at the people on the ground in fear, his voice was a bit high: "Sir, I don't know—" Dumbledore nodded to him reassuringly, "Yes, Ron, we didn't know before." Falling to the ground, Harry was sure he saw the anger in those blue eyes: "Who would have known that a man who had been awarded the Order of Merlin and was killed by Death Eaters ten years ago was still standing on his feet?" In front of us?"

The mass of objects on the ground trembled slightly, and Professor McGonagall's binding spell hadn't been removed yet.Both Harry and Ron stared at him, and Dumbledore's voice continued, "He's an illegal Animagus, after what happened to Voldemort," Ron and Professor McGonagall couldn't help typing when they heard the name. Shiver, "He turned into a mouse and found a wizarding family to hide."

"Sir..." Ron trembled, and he was even more frightened, "You mean... my family and a Death Eater... lived under the same roof for ten years?" "I'm afraid so, My boy," said Dumbledore gravely, "I'd say it's luck that nothing happened." Ron paled even more.

Seeing Dumbledore's glance, Harry felt that he should express his doubts: "But, sir, does this have anything to do with me?" Dumbledore looked at Harry with a heavy tone, "His medal It's because of his sacrifice, and I would say we've been getting one thing wrong."

"Sirius Black was the Death Eater who was accused of killing Peter at the time," Dumbledore stood up and walked around his desk. "The truth is, Sirius found out that Peter was a Death Eater, and he went after Peter At that time, Peter blew up half the street, then turned into a mouse and escaped, and the biggest piece of remains was a finger." Peter, who had been lowering his head, suddenly let out a scream, and it was Dumbledore who used magic to make him change. A posture, revealing the crippled hand.Snape snorted heavily.

"Peter has always been well disguised. Sirius discovered him because of the deaths of James Potter and Lily Potter. Voldemort found their hiding place. Peter was their secret keeper, and we always thought that It should be Sirius." Dumbledore looked at Harry.

Harry felt that without Occlumency he would be able to express exactly what he was supposed to be feeling at the moment, and in fact he had been trying to control his anger just now. "Sir...he killed my parents?" Peter let out a sob, which sounded more frightened than regretful: "You don't know... how terrifying the Dark Lord is..."

Dumbledore held Harry by the shoulders, because the look on his face looked like he was about to hex Peter.Harry stared at Peter, and heard Dumbledore say to Ron: "Mr. Weasley, I hope that what happened here will not reach other people's ears. I have already informed Arthur and Molly." Ron nodded , looking terrified.Dumbledore took a look at his pale face, "Minerva, would you please take Mr. Weasley to the hospital wing?" McGonagall nodded and led Ron away.

"Severus, thank you for the potion. I think I have something to say to Harry..." Halfway through Dumbledore's words, the black-haired man moved: "Then I'll go first, Headmaster." Haha Leigh looked up just as Snape was looking at him.The two looked at each other for a while, Harry felt for a moment that he saw some regret in Snape's eyes, but soon he changed to his usual disgusted expression, and the black robe rolled away.

"Harry, how are you?" Dumbledore turned to Harry after clearing the scene.Harry had turned his eyes back to Peter, and he said through gritted teeth, "Trying to teach him a lesson, sir, if you'll take your hands away..." His mind was rolling with the last time Screaming Shack , how did Peter escape in his hands... Voldemort gave him a silver hand when he was reborn... In the end, the unsteadiness in his nature, or the remaining good thoughts made him strangle himself with that hand... Or There is the clearest scene, Voldemort pointing his wand at him, the white halo and the song of the phoenix...Harry can only try to avoid eye contact with Dumbledore, he knows that the clever Legilimator can know through this connection What was he thinking, he didn't doubt Dumbledore's ability.

"Oh, Harry, there are people from the Ministry of Magic to do it, and the minister will bring people here soon." Dumbledore patted him reassuringly, and he followed Harry's gaze to Peter, "I want to talk to Peter." You are talking about another question, about Sirius. Since he was framed, he will be acquitted after Peter is tried soon." Peter on the ground trembled even more.

Harry stared at Peter in silence.Dumbledore squatted down and looked at him from the bottom up: "Sirius is your godfather." Harry had to turn his gaze back to Dumbledore's face, trying to think of Sirius before that: "You Say... my godfather? I still have a godfather?"

"Yes." Dumbledore continued, "James was good friends with him when he was at Hogwarts," Peter sobbed again, and Dumbledore glanced at him, "Oh, and this coward." He noticed that Harry wanted to move again, and exerted a slight force on his hand: "Do you want to see your godfather? After he comes out of Azkaban? I'm sure he would be very happy to see you."

Harry nodded, thinking of the attitude of the Dursleys: "Then can I not go back to Privet Drive?" Dumbledore looked at him, "You can spend Christmas with your godfather, but I'm afraid You still need to go back at least once a year."

At this time, a green flame suddenly ignited in the fireplace, and people came out one after another.In the front was the chubby Fudge, who was very surprised when he saw Harry: "This is the one..." Behind were three Aurors, and Harry recognized Kingsley Shacklebolt.Dumbledore stood up, walked back to his desk without answering Fudge's words, and picked up a scarred wand.I saw a flash of white light, Peter who was hit remained unchanged, and everyone looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

"Anti-Animagus Curse," Dumbledore explained briefly, "As far as I know, Dementors only respond to people's emotions." The Aurors gave him admiring glances, and one of them walked over , regardless of Peter who was shaking more violently, he was held up with a magic wand.

Fudge seemed to have recovered from seeing Harry for a long time. He rubbed his hands: "Anyway, thanks to the kid who said the wrong spell..." He looked at Dumbledore expectantly, as if I hope he can introduce Harry.

Dumbledore turned a blind eye, "Okay, you can return to the Ministry of Magic." The Aurors nodded to Dumbledore, and then carried Peter into the fireplace. "Fudge, I hope that Peter's trial can proceed as soon as possible." He stared at the Minister of Magic from above the half-moon glasses, and after confirming that the latter nodded reluctantly, his tone returned to lightness: "Then Harry, you need to..." "Sir, I think I can find the classroom myself," Harry said quickly, catching him between words, not wanting the Headmaster to talk to him alone.Dumbledore raised half his eyebrows, stared at Harry for a while, and finally said, "I thought you needed a break... Well, then, you can go."

Harry nodded.He walked out the door, up the spiral staircase, past the gargoyle, and ran down the corridor until he turned the corner.He succeeded, and Peter was caught!Harry wanted to yell a few times, and he finally did something, something he regretted the last time.

When Harry returned to the classroom, he found that Professor McGonagall and Ron had not returned.A group of people immediately surrounded him: "What happened?" "Is Ron's mouse an Animagus?" "What did Professor Dumbledore ask you to do?" Harry opened his mouth several times, Finally said: "It's just a small accident." His classmates seemed very dissatisfied with this muddled answer, but soon a scream saved Harry who was surrounded.

A group of people looked in the direction of the sound, and Harry hurried through the crowd.It was Hermione, she pointed at an owl in surprise.Harry breathed a sigh of relief, he thought there was another accident.But when he saw the bird clearly, he also widened his eyes: "Hedwig? Why are you here?" Harry said as he walked over, but the bird watched him warily and flew away from Tom's hand to his shoulders.

Tom withdrew his hand from stroking its feathers. "I'm afraid you're mistaken," he said lightly. "This is my pet, Negro. I just cast a color-changing spell on it," he shrugged. shoulder, and said indifferently, "But there seems to be a small accident, don't you think so, Harry?"
