Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

She had previously suspected that the information circulating outside that Black was a werewolf might have come from the Charon Detective Agency, but after Hagrid's statement, she had dismissed that idea.

But at this moment, she began to doubt this matter again. Could it be that the reporters in the magic world were gossip reporters who dared to report things based on hearsay at will?

She looked up and glanced at the other members of the Charon Detective Agency who were reading the newspaper. It was obvious that many of them had also noticed the information in the newspaper.

Hannah said in surprise:

"Has Peter Pellum's ghost really returned to Hogwarts?"

The five people who knew the truth looked at each other and said nothing.

The matter of the Marauder's Map must be kept secret. This was their joint decision. No one liked the feeling of having their whereabouts spied on.

Just as breakfast was about to end, Dumbledore suddenly stood up and announced:

"Today, I, several deans, and professors need to go to the Ministry of Magic. I will authorize the school affairs today to my male and female student councils..."

Percy and Penelope stood up and nodded seriously.

Watching Dumbledore and the four headmasters leave.

The students present were talking about it.

Harry said doubtfully:

"It's vacation time, professors should be able to go wherever they want. Why did they need to notify us specifically?"

Hermione found this strange too, but she didn't think much of it.

At this time, George and Fred winked at Harry and the other two and said:

"If we can't find Professor Holmes, we can find Percy!"

"As the professor's younger brother, that thing should be no problem for him, right?"

Ron directly refused:

"No, he's not a member of our Charon Detective Agency. Hermione invited him before, but he refused to participate in this matter."

Hermione knocked on the table and said:

“I think George and Fred’s suggestions are very good. We not only need to open the cage, but also need a powerful wizard who can provide help in times of danger.

I thought I could always contact Professor Holmes if I was in danger, but now I can't contact him, and the other professors have left the school, so Percy is just the right person."

Hearing Hermione's words, Ron shrugged and said:

"So, whoever goes to him for help, don't forget that he always thinks that Fred and I are messing around."

After saying this the Weasley twins looked at their sister Ginny at the same time.

Ginny rolled her eyes at the two of them, then took Hermione's arm and said:

"You come with me."

......

Eight fifty-five in the morning.

The Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

Snape looked at the big black dog beside Douglas. He didn't understand why Douglas brought a dog to such an important occasion. Could this dog be useful in hunting down Black?

And for some reason, ever since he saw the dog, he always felt an inexplicable disgust. The black dog looked at him with unkind eyes, as if it wanted to bite him at any time.

Professor Flitwick looked at the large mirror that suddenly appeared in the headmaster's office with great interest, and pointed at it with his wand.

At this moment, the office fireplace suddenly flickered with green flames, and several people walked out from inside.

Minister of Magic Fudge came out of the fireplace and asked Dumbledore:

"Albus, where is Black?"

Then Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, came out of the fireplace with five Aurors. Douglas took a look and did not see Tonks.

Dumbledore adjusted his glasses and said:

"Now that we're all here, Douglas, let's get started."

Douglas nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, the scene in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office suddenly appeared in the large mirror on the wall.

Professor Flitwick smiled and said:

"It's a two-way mirror, Douglas. You made this yourself, right? I've never seen such a large two-way mirror before."

Scrimgeour glanced at the image in the mirror. He saw a group of students gathered in a circle, chattering about something. A pair of sharp yellow eyes looked at Douglas through gold-rimmed glasses:

"Professor Holmes, we're here to arrest Blake, not to spy on the student party. Could Blake be hiding among the students?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other professors who still didn't know the truth changed, especially Snape. Seeing Harry in the picture, he asked:

"Holmes, what do you want to do? Do you think this detective agency has really caught Blake?"

Douglas shook his head and began to explain slowly:

"Ever since I saw the news that Black had escaped from prison, I've been worried about Harry's safety. During this period, I did some research and even caught Black myself..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many people present changed drastically.

Snape and Sker took a step forward at the same time.

"Tell me where he is?"

"Where is the man?"

Lupin sneezed beside him, covering up the disdainful voice of Sirius, who had turned into a dog.

Chapter 245 Snape's World of Hurting Alone

Douglas ignored the two men and continued:

"I learned some of the truth from Sirius, but I didn't believe it at first, so I imprisoned him..."

Professor Sprout frowned and asked:

"Douglas, I remember you told me before that Mr. Potter spent almost the entire summer at your house, and you let him and Black..."

Professor Sprout didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant.

Snape's eyes were almost blazing with fire.

The people from the Ministry of Magic also drew their wands and glared at Douglas.

Fudge wanted to say something to Dumbledore, but Dumbledore signaled him not to speak.

Douglas was happy to explain to his dean;

"Yes, Professor. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this."

Professor Flitwick smiled and said:

"Minerva should know about this, right?"

Professor Flitwick discovered that there was a secret between the two of them at the Three Broomsticks last time, and it must be about Black, but he was not a gossipy person, so he never went to ask them.

Professor McGonagall nodded and said:

"Let's let Douglas finish his story first."

Douglas continued:

"Originally, I planned to hand Black over to Headmaster Dumbledore after school started. But..."

Fudge said dissatisfiedly:

"You should inform the Ministry of Magic, knowing that Black is a..."

Douglas took a look and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind. He made up something and said:

"Later, at the beginning of the school year, the Dementors disappeared on the Hogwarts Express, which made me think that there must be something more complicated going on. I asked Black about it, and he thought that these Dementors were recruited by Voldemort..."

When Voldemort's name was heard, there were gasps in the office.

Fudge slammed the teacup in his hand on the table and said sternly:

"Nonsense, the mysterious man is dead. Dead, understand?"

Douglas glanced at him and said:

"Afterwards, I will prove that he is still alive, and it seems that you have not found the missing Dementors."

Dumbledore casually picked up a Bibibi Multi-Flavor Bean and watched Douglas' performance quietly.

Lupin, who had been sitting there without saying a word, looked at the big black dog, and a smile flashed across the corners of both the man and the dog's mouths.

Snape said impatiently:

"Get to the point, where is Blake?"

Douglas shrugged and said:

"It was because of what happened on the train that I realized what Black said might be true. After school started, I took the initiative to contact Remus, and from him I once again verified Black's statement..."

As he spoke, Douglas pointed to the image in the mirror, where George and Fred took out a cage and placed it among the students.

The two people's explanations were heard simultaneously on the screen:

"Yes, Scabbers is Peter Pellum. He is not the Return of the Dead, but an Animagus..."

In the office, Lupin said:

“Yes, Peter is an Animagus, and his shapeshifter is a rat.

After Douglas asked me, I saw the mouse specifically from Mr. Weasley, and I can confirm it is him 100%. I don’t know how many times I saw him turn into a mouse in front of me when I was in school...”

Fudge was stunned, staring carefully at the mouse in the picture and said:

"Peter Pellum? Why did he turn into a mouse and hide? I remember the Ministry of Magic awarded him the Order of Merlin, First Class."

And when Snape heard Lupin say that Peter was an Animagus, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

He looked sharply at the big black dog beside Lupin, and Sirius, who had been staring at him, also roared...

Douglas didn't pay attention to what Fudge said, but kept paying attention to Snape's reaction.

He had been staring at Scrimgeour and noticed Douglas's performance, and then glanced at Snape.

Snape's right hand moved slightly, and the wand fell directly into his hand.

The moment Snape got the wand, Douglas's wand quickly fell into his hand, and then he cast an Expelliarmus Charm directly at Snape.

The spell sent Snape flying. Before he could even hit the headmaster's desk, a silver rope suddenly flew out and bound Snape properly. One end of the rope hooked onto the bird stand of Fawkes (Dumbledore's pet phoenix), allowing him to land smoothly. Before he could even get angry, a Silencing Spell struck him, leaving Snape speechless.

Just as Douglas stretched out his wand, Scrimgeour quickly picked up his wand and shouted "Expelliarmus" at Douglas, but Douglas had anticipated this and dodged the spell with a leap of faith. He also fired a silencing spell at Snape to prevent him from hearing the sound before the matter was over.

It just so happened that Professor Douglas Flitwick reacted very quickly. Douglas dodged the Expelliarmus flying towards him, and with a wave of his wand, an Shield Charm directly blocked the spell.

He took a small step and cast an Expelliarmus spell directly from Douglas's side, hitting Scrimgeour.

The Aurors brought by Scrimgeour also drew their wands.

Fudge also nervously drew out his wand and subconsciously stood behind the group of Aurors.

Everything happened in just a few seconds.

Dumbledore, who seemed to be a little slow to react, shouted:

"stop!"

Douglas clearly saw the residue flying out of his mouth, stood aside in disgust, and gestured to Professor Flitwick to return the wand to Scrimgeour.

Scrimgeour, who had taken the wand, stared at Douglas, but still waved his hand and asked the Auror behind him to put away the wand.

Fudge stood behind the Auror and questioned Dumbledore.

But no one paid any attention to him at this time. Douglas said calmly to Sirius, who was being held tightly by Lupin and grinning at Snape:

"Shut up, don't forget what you promised me..."

Sirius took a step back unwillingly, but his dog eyes were full of amusement as he looked at Snape.

Then he walked over to Snape, who was tied up and unable to move or speak, and said embarrassedly:

"Professor, you're right, but now is not the right time, so I'll excuse you for now."

Dumbledore also said in harmony:
