Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Hermione fell into deep thought again, then looked at Harry and asked:

"Harry, if you had to choose a Secret-Keeper, who would you choose?"

Harry said without hesitation:

"Of course it's you two, or your cousin... er, of course, Ginny, you and I will also consider it."

Hermione asked in return:

"If your current enemy is Malfoy, he will definitely guess it, right? Wouldn't that expose you?"

Ron said disdainfully:

"Even if he guesses it, so what? I will duel with him. I will never tell him the location of the Fidelius Charm, even if I kill him. Of course, he might get killed by me."

Ginny snorted again, and Ron glared at her.

Harry was stunned. He knew that others would guess who the Secret-Keeper was, but he couldn't replace the Secret-Keeper with someone else. That would be too risky.

But if it's Professor McGonagall, maybe Headmaster Dumbledore would be fine too.

He looked up at Hermione and found that she was staring at him intently, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

He looked over at Ron, who was still exchanging glares with Ginny.

Suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he said excitedly:

"You mean Professor Lupin means that the original Secret-Keeper wasn't Black at all, that my father changed the Secret-Keeper, and that this Secret-Keeper is most likely... Peter..."

Ron rubbed his dry eyes and asked doubtfully:

"Why him? Isn't he a hero?"

Ginny raised her eyebrows and said:

“It’s obvious, although I haven’t seen the photo, but you said there are only four people in the photo.

If it wasn't Professor Lupin and Black, it would have to be Peter Pellum."

Harry still felt confused, so he took a piece of parchment and wrote on it as he spoke:

"First, there are four people, my father, Professor Lupin, Black and Peter. They are classmates and even friends, but it is obvious that my father has a better relationship with Black.

Secondly, it is well known that the secret keeper is Black, but in fact it is also possible that it is Peter, which means that the betrayer is Peter? But why is this? "

Hermione frowned and said:

“I have two guesses.

First, Peter is indeed a traitor, he is actually the one who leaked the information, and Blake originally wanted to catch him.

But if I remember correctly, in the information we collected, some parents of classmates said that Peter shouted at the scene: "Sirius, how could you do this?", right Ginny."

Ginny nodded.

Hermione continued:

"So, this is a bit contradictory, but we now know that Peter is still alive. If he is a traitor, then it would explain why he has been hiding."

Ginny interrupted Hermione's explanation and asked curiously:

"I was just about to ask, why are you so sure that Peter Perum is still alive?"

Ron said impatiently:

"It's a secret, Hermione, keep going."

Harry looked at Ginny and said sorry hesitantly.

Hermione ignored the three of them and continued:

"Secondly, Black wasn't trustworthy at the time. He was a werewolf, and Professor Lupin also said that werewolves had sided with You-Know-Who. So Black couldn't have been the Secret-Keeper. Professor Lupin was away for some reason, so Peter was chosen as the Secret-Keeper.

But I don't know how Black got the secret from Peter... But that doesn't make sense. As far as I know, unless you are the Secret Keeper, even if you know the content of the Fidelius Charm, you can't tell it to others... Okay, Harry, please continue."

At this time, Hermione felt that what Lupin meant was that Peter was the real traitor, and he even knew that Peter was not dead. The pet food and cage that kept Scabbers sleeping might have been made by Professor Lupin at the request of Professor Holmes.

Even...Professor Lupin knew where Black was, and Black had never been caught, so he might have provided help.

Harry saw that Hermione was also confused, so he began to write on the paper and talk.

"If the Secret-Keeper is Black, then his reason for betrayal is the werewolf.

So Peter was the secret keeper, so why did he betray? Could it be out of fear?

And Professor Lupin, what was he doing at that time, and why did he feel that he was also the one who was wrong?"

Ron saw Harry drawing several question marks on the paper and said:

"We know so little about Professor Lupin and Peter.

Harry, why don't you ask Snape? He's not their classmate, and he hates Black so much that he's even afraid that Black will sneak into Hogwarts. He even brewed a werewolf-revealing potion. Professor Holmes is not the person who knows you best, he's often your enemy. "

Ginny said with a strange smile:

"Do you think Malfoy knows Harry better than you do?"

Ron said disdainfully:

"How is that possible? That's why I think there's something very wrong with what Professor Holmes said."

Harry also rolled his eyes and went to ask Snape. He was afraid that Snape would suspect that he was Black and give him a werewolf-revealing potion.

Hermione sighed and said:

"Looks like we'll have to find Hagrid in the end!"

......

Defense Against the Dark Arts Office.

Douglas listened to the two people telling the story of that year and was speechless for a long time.

He really wanted to say that your circle is too chaotic, and he didn't want to comment on this history at all.

(I don't want to start a fight, so I deleted my original opinion. I also ask all James fans and Stan fans to refrain from arguing in the comment section. Thank you!)

Chapter 240 Peter Perum's Past

Hagrid has been doing well in his classes lately.

On the one hand, rules were set so that students could not mess around.

On the other hand, the course schedule is less dangerous. When encountering dangerous large magical animals, Hagrid will first find the cubs of these animals and let the students get in touch with them and get to know them.

"Can someone explain the water-seeking beast?"

"The water-seeker is incredibly strong...huge, runs incredibly fast, and prefers to live in water. It can cause floods or spread plagues...it's a monster born from the earth by powerful magic..."

Looking at the cute little water-seeking beast in front of him, Neville, who was actively reciting the text, felt for a moment that it was a bit disingenuous to say that it was very strong and huge.

Hagrid applauded and praised:

"Very good, two points to Gryffindor.

I found this baby drow beside a pond in the Forbidden Forest. Hogwarts hasn't had a drow in many years.

It's okay, you can take a closer look. It's very cute, isn't it? It looks exactly like what you see in the textbook. Look at the snake head, leopard belly, lion hips, deer antlers, and rabbit paws."

Ron glanced at Draco Malfoy, who was standing at the back of the group, and snorted disdainfully.

Ever since the Hippogriff incident, every time a new animal appeared in the Care of Magical Creatures class, Draco would stand back and watch to make sure of the animal's temperament and habits, and only go in when there was no danger.

After the Care of Magical Creatures class, it was time for dinner.

Harry and the other two were the last to arrive and helped Hagrid clean up the Hogwarts pasture.

Then followed Hagrid to the hut.

Hagrid smiled and gave each of the three a glass of butterbeer.

"You haven't come to see me for a long time. This is to make up for the regret of not being able to drink butterbeer last time."

(Butterbeer is a foamy beer. Although it is called wine, it should be considered a very popular alcoholic beverage. It contains only a very small amount of alcohol, but it is enough to make house elves drunk.)

Harry and the other two looked at each other.

Hermione cleared her throat and said:

"Hagrid, actually, we came to you this time to ask you something."

Hagrid paused, then said seriously:

"If you're here to ask about that traitor Black, I... won't say a word.

I know what you are doing, and I actually don’t agree with Douglas’s point of view…”

Ron said quickly:

"We're not here to ask about Blake, it's Peter Perum..."

Hagrid looked at them and said doubtfully:

"Peter Pellum?"

Harry reminded:

"He finally caught Blake!"

Hagrid's face suddenly understood, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Of course, of course I know who Peter is. He was a fat little boy who followed James... and the others like a little tail when they were at Hogwarts."

Harry asked quickly:

"Does he have a particularly good relationship with my father?"

Hagrid hesitated, then nodded and said:

"Of course, the four of them are often together, although I occasionally hear James and... Black always complaining that he is a bit bad at studying and a bit stupid...

But he is indeed a qualified Gryffindor and very brave. If he tells me about Black, I will tear that traitor into pieces...

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this in front of you... But I'm also very glad that I brought you out before him, otherwise he would have definitely turned you, Harry, into an evil wolf cub. Of course, not all werewolves are evil..."

Harry looked at the two of them, and Black was indeed a werewolf.

Hermione interrupted Hagrid's sigh and asked curiously:

"You mean, Peter is like a henchman?"

"Forehead!"

Hagrid had to pull his thoughts back, scratched his head and said:

"It seems that way, James and Black are almost inseparable, and I always have to work hard to get them out of the Forbidden Forest, just like George and Fred.

And Peter always follows them. Actually, you should ask Professor Lupin about this kind of thing. If James and Black are like brothers, then Professor Lupin and they are best friends.

But I always feel that when Peter stands with them, he seems a little humble and even a little flattering, cherishing that friendship very much. Oh, yes, he particularly admires James and Black, but it is obvious that he admires the wrong people, isn't it? "

Hermione frowned slightly and lowered her head, thinking about something.

Harry and Ron were confused. This didn't provide any useful information.

Harry asked unwillingly:

"Then can you tell me about Black? Why did my father trust him so much? And when did he become a werewolf?"

Hagrid had his own guess about how Black turned into a werewolf. Ever since he knew that Black was a werewolf, he suspected that Lupin had accidentally turned him into a werewolf.

But this kind of thing cannot be said. He glanced out the window and said to the three people:

"It's getting late. You can't stay outside the castle for long..."

On the way back to the castle, Ron complained:

"We didn't get any useful information. According to me, we should have gotten Hagrid drunk first..."

Harry glanced at Hermione and saw that she had been lost in thought since Hagrid finished speaking. He quickly pulled Ron and winked at him, signaling him not to speak for the time being.

In fact, Harry didn't know what to think about the information Hagrid said.

At this time, Hermione stopped and asked the two of them:

"Do you think Malfoy's followers, Goyle and Crabbe, will betray Malfoy in the future?"
