"Answer my question, Holmes. Why did you arrest him?"
It was the first time Douglas had seen Lupin in this state. He said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"Of course it's to eat dog meat. Look at this... The most important thing is that black dog blood is a valuable ingredient for potions."
Not to mention Lupin, even Sirius widened his eyes. For a moment he didn't know whether Douglas was serious or joking.
But he really couldn't bear to see Douglas bullying the innocent Lupin like this, but when he wanted to change back into human form, he found that he couldn't transform.
The Animagus's abilities seemed to be fixed by some kind of magic, and Sirius was shocked again.
At this time, Lupin had already stood in front of Sirius. When he heard Douglas say that he was doing it for food, not to catch Sirius, he breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile again and said:
"Actually, I think the quality of this dog's meat is very bad. You know who I am. I have eaten some dog meat in that situation, so I can tell the difference between good and bad dog meat.
How about you release this dog and I can help you catch a good dog with delicious meat? "
Douglas let out a long "oh," then stood up and said calmly:
"But not every dog is called Padfoot..."
As soon as he said this, Lupin quickly stretched out his wand and pointed it at Douglas.
At the same time Douglas yelled, "Dobby, stop it!"
Although Dobby's finger, which was stretched out towards Lupin, did not drop, he did not cast the spell.
His two bat-sized ears trembled with excitement.
"Don't point your wand at Dobby's boss! Dobby is very angry and the consequences will be serious..."
But Lupin didn't care about Dobby's reaction at all, but stared at Douglas.
"So, you want to hand him over?"
Douglas glanced at Dobby and was speechless for a moment. Ever since he let this guy watch Muggle movies and learn some things, he has been mumbling non-stop.
Then he looked at Lupin again and asked calmly:
"If it were you, what would you do? Hand him over to the Ministry, or hand Harry over to him?"
Lupin's eyes were red, and he slowly lowered the wand in his hand:
"I want to ask him why!"
Douglas snapped his fingers, and the ropes loosened Sirius's restraints.
Before Lupin could react, a voice that hadn't been heard for more than a decade rang out from behind him:
"Remus."
Lupin turned around, staring at Sirius with his red eyes, and asked in a roaring voice:
"Why!"
Sirius lowered his head and said nothing.
Douglas coughed lightly and said:
"Professor Lupin, perhaps..."
Lupin turned around and said viciously:
"Shut up! I didn't ask you... and why did you untie the rope? What if he runs away?"
Douglas was speechless. It was you who was afraid that he would die just now.
Sirius slowly raised his head and looked at Lupin, who looked pale and haggard.
I tried to open my mouth, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and finally I could only send out three words:
"sorry!"
Douglas couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he threw a newspaper in front of Lupin.
"You may not have noticed this newspaper before..."
The newspaper was suspended in front of Lupin, and he recognized the people in the newspaper as the Weasley family at a glance.
There is also a mouse on the shoulder of Harry's friend Ron.
Lupin took a breath, as if he understood something in an instant, and looked at Sirius in disbelief.
"He's still alive, why didn't he show up before, unless..."
He looked at Sirius again, who was also staring at the rat in the photo.
Lupin said nervously:
"Unless he is the traitor who has never been found...unless you changed...without telling me."
Sirius nodded slowly and looked at Lupin with red eyes.
At this time, Douglas said in a very unpleasant tone:
"So, how about we have some breakfast together and talk while we eat."
Sirius and Lupin cursed at the same time:
"roll!"
Then they looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Then Lupin lowered his wand, and the two embraced like brothers.
Chapter 198 Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Charon Detective Agency
After the two calmed down, Douglas invited again:
"Are you sure you don't want to come over for breakfast?"
Lupin hesitated, then sat down at the table.
Douglas picked up a meat bun and threw it to Sirius who was still standing.
Lupin glanced at the two of them and asked:
"Where is he?"
Sirius took a bite of the bun and said:
"Still with that kid, but don't worry, this guy drugged him..."
Lupin looked at Douglas in shock and said doubtfully:
"Drug?"
Douglas handed Lupin a bun as well. Lupin took it and took a bite, but his eyes were always fixed on Douglas.
Douglas nodded and said:
"Yes, I added a special potion to Ron's rat food. It can enhance his physical strength and make him stronger without him realizing it.
However, there are some side effects. Users can easily become addicted to this ration and become extremely sleepy..."
Of course, there is another biggest role that Douglas did not mention.
Hearing this, Lupin saw Sirius, who was still not satisfied after eating one bun and was about to take the second one.
Then he looked at the bun that he had eaten half of, thought about it, and finally ate the rest of the bun in one bite.
"I still don't understand when you two got together."
Then he remembered the scene on the Hogwarts Express and looked at Douglas and Sirius in shock.
"Did you bring Padfoot out of Azkaban? I remember the sign you gave Harry caught a Dementor on the train, and there was also a physical Patronus inside. Don't tell me this is all a coincidence."
Douglas was about to explain when he was interrupted by Sirius.
"Let me tell you."
He was really afraid that once Douglas opened his mouth, Lupin would be fooled into selling himself for ten years.
Douglas just listened quietly and made some additions.
But at least Sirius knew that there were some things he couldn't say, so he didn't reveal the secret of the fireplace in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. Of course, perhaps out of self-esteem, Sirius also didn't tell anyone that he had sold himself for ten years.
After listening to the two people's stories, Lupin looked at Sirius with red eyes for a long time without saying a word, and finally said:
"sorry!"
Sirius shook his hair and said nonchalantly:
"We're even now, aren't we? I doubted you too."
Lupin was about to say something excitedly, but was interrupted again by Douglas, who was trying to spoil the mood.
"Ahem, let's talk about some serious business, Professor Lupin. The next plan requires you to provide Harry and the others with some key information at the critical moment. Is that okay?"
Lupin came back to his senses, frowned and asked:
"But I still don't understand why we can't just kill Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew's nickname) for the sake of Padfoot's future.
Why not just catch him and hand him over to the Ministry of Magic instead of letting a bunch of underage kids investigate the truth?"
Douglas shook his head slowly and said:
"It's difficult. The Ministry of Magic has already admitted under pressure from Dumbledore a few months ago that the trial of Hagrid was wrong.
If we were to overturn a past conviction, it would be hard not to touch the Ministry of Magic's fragile nerves. After all, this is not just about clearing Sirius's name. Don't forget that they once awarded Pettigrew the Order of Merlin, First Class. Most importantly, he is still a recognized hero in the wizarding world..."
Hearing this, Sirius snorted with disdain, and Lupin clenched his fists.
Douglas glanced at them and continued:
"Therefore, it will be difficult to completely overturn Sirius's case in the wizarding world by relying solely on Dumbledore's personal abilities. The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. If we want to completely remove this mountain, we need to unite all the forces that can be united.
This group of children is the best choice. Most of them have complex networks of connections behind them. Most importantly, I think their parents are very willing to believe the truth that their children have personally investigated..."
As for the reasons hidden in the dark, Douglas did not say them.
School bulletin board.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Charon's Detective Agency
To prosper campus culture, enrich students' extracurricular activities, and improve the comprehensive quality of wizards.
The Society was formally established on September 5, 1993 at the suggestion of Professor Holmes.
Charon is the ferryman of the River Styx in Greek mythology and is also the name of Pluto's satellite.
Charon's orbital period around Pluto is exactly equal to Pluto's rotation period, so they always face each other with the same side - only by bypassing the deception can they see the truth on the other side.
Recruitment principles: fairness, equity and openness
Recruitment targets: All students from the four colleges
Recruitment period: September 6th to September 30th
Recruitment location: Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom after 5:00 pm every day
Club Activities: Explore the secrets hidden in Hogwarts Castle, find the truth behind wizard cases, etc. (Members can post tasks for a fee.)
President: Harry James Potter
Vice Presidents: Hermione Jean Granger, Ronald Bilius Weasley
......
Ron, sitting at the Gryffindor table, was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd, all asking what this club meant.
At the beginning, Ron took the time to explain everything to everyone and encouraged everyone to sign up in time.
But as more and more people gathered around, even some students from other colleges started asking questions.
He only felt that there were five hundred owls hooting in his ears, and they were owls of different kinds.
At this time, he felt particularly regretful about why he refused when Hermione asked him to go to the library to do his homework.
Students from every college showed interest in this notice, and even some senior students analyzed the hidden information behind it.
"See that name, Professor Holmes?"
"Harry Potter is Professor Holmes' nephew. Do you remember the snow monster from last year?"
"Come on, let's ask if Harry issues a task. Will it be a magic prop made by Professor Holmes?"
