Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts.

Chapter 210 A Fair Presentation of the Past
"If Harry really wants to know what happened in the past, we need to tell him objectively and fairly, Sirius."

“Of course I will be objective and fair!” Blake shouted. “I will show him in the most straightforward way why James and we hated Snotty so much back then!”

Do you even realize how impolite your behavior is?!

Finally, Harry could no longer tolerate Black's derogatory term and retorted.

"No matter what conflicts you had with the teacher before, if he hadn't stood up for you just now, you wouldn't have had the chance to clear your name! Even if you're not grateful to him, at least you should have addressed him correctly!"

His words left Blake speechless for a moment, and even made him blush.

Clearly, he hadn't expected to be rebuked by Harry like this, but because he was James's son and his godson, he couldn't refute him.

In response, Lupin spoke to Sirius with a serious expression.

“Harry is right. No matter what, you shouldn’t keep calling him Sirius Black.”

Seeing that even Lupin wasn't on his side, Blake couldn't help but yell in frustration.

"Alright! Alright! Since you're all going to defend him! Snape! I'll just call him Snape then!"

Harry sat in the chair with his arms folded, his face still showing no good expression.

Lupin had already taken out his wand at this moment, and he said thoughtfully.

"Please wait here for me a moment, I need to borrow something."

"Why don't we just tell Ha to say it? What else do you need to do?" Blake couldn't wait any longer.

The more Harry defended Severus, the more impatient he became to show Harry Severus his true colors, so that he would see through everything, immediately repent, and realize who could truly be his reliable support!
“No, of course not.” Lupin’s expression was serious. “The language of those involved often becomes uncontrollably subjective, and that’s definitely not what Harry wants to see.”

At this moment, he had already started waving his magic wand.

"It will only take a few minutes, please wait a few minutes."

After speaking, Lupin used Apparition to disappear from the spot.

Only Harry and Black remained in the room, and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Black had a lot he wanted to say to Harry, but he could tell that Harry didn't have a very good impression of him, so Black didn't try to start a conversation. Instead, he just lay on the edge of the bed, his ears drooping, seemingly lost in thought.

Harry stared at it for a while before asking the question first.

What is Animagus?

Even now, Harry still doesn't understand what Animagus is, and naturally, he doesn't understand why Black looks like a dog.

"That is an extremely profound form of transformation magic. It can allow a wizard to completely transform into the form of a certain animal. Throughout the history of magic, only a very few wizards have mastered it."

Hearing Harry's question, Black finally lifted his head from the ground and replied with renewed vigor.

"And your father and I are both Animagus, and we learned this magic back at Hogwarts!"

What can my dad become?

"A stag, a strong stag!"

This time, the male announcer's voice on the third broadcast finally matched Blake's current emotions.

"Besides you, my dad, and Remus, do you have another companion?" Harry continued to ask.

When faced with this question, Blake's eyes visibly darkened.

"Yes, that's right, we did have another companion."

"Is he also an Animagus?"

"Yes, he can turn into a mouse. He is the smallest among us, but he is also the most useful and the best at hiding."

"Then why did you learn this kind of magic in the first place?" Harry asked cleverly. "Hogwarts shouldn't teach such advanced spells, right?" "Of course not. Hogwarts certainly doesn't have any courses related to Animagus, and according to the laws of magic, any new Animagus needs to be registered with the Ministry of Magic. Any Animagus that isn't registered is illegal."

"As for why we should learn this magic, it's so that we can be with Remus when he transforms into a werewolf on a full moon night."

"Blake said proudly."

“After the werewolf transforms, he won’t attack animals. At that time, we’ll use him to travel around Hogsmeade at night!”

From Black's explanation, Harry astutely guessed how he managed to escape so many Aurors in England and finally find them.

"Because you are an illegal Animagus, no one else knows you can transform into an animal, which is why the Aurors have been unable to find you!"

Harry's words made Black laugh.

“You are very smart, Harry, just like your father, or rather, just like your mother.”

When he mentioned his mother, Harry couldn't help but ask.

"Where's my mother? Was she with you all when she was at Hogwarts?"

“Lily?” Black’s smile was a little strange. “She wasn’t like that. For a long time in the lower grades, she didn’t like us. On the contrary, she got along very well with that nose, Snape.”

Harry then recalled that when he was first taken away from the Dursleys, Severus had indeed told him that he and his mother had an unusual relationship.

Just as Harry was about to ask more questions, a twisted figure suddenly appeared in the room, and the next second, Lupin, who had left, returned to the room.

Compared to when he left empty-handed, he now had a stone basin in his hands!
Upon seeing the stone basin, Blake couldn't help but ask.

"Where did you get this thing from?!"

“A secondhand dealer who runs a rental service. He does business in Bulgaria. I helped him out when he went to England to buy things. He gave me his address and said he could rent some things to me cheaply if I needed them.”

"You went to see him in the middle of the night, and he still managed to do business with you?"

“His shop is open 24 hours a day. You should understand that this kind of business is often not suitable for daytime operations.”

How much does he charge you for renting it for one night?

"Seven silver coins."

Upon hearing the price, Blake muttered something under his breath.

"Then I definitely didn't kill you."

As he spoke, Lupin placed the old stone basin on the table and explained to Harry, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“This is the Pensieve, Harry. It can help us immerse ourselves in some past memories.”

Harry's expression seemed to indicate some understanding.

“My teacher had shown me something similar before, but not with this basin.”

“That requires a high level of research into Occlumency and Legilimency,” Lupin explained to him. “And it also has great limitations in that situation; the Pensieve is a more suitable tool.”

Lupin pointed his wand at his temple, then slowly turned the wand, drawing a wisp of silver memory light from his mind and placing it into the Pensieve.

“Come on, Harry, do as I say, take a deep breath, and then do this.”

After he finished speaking, Lupin suddenly buried his face in the Pensieve.

Harry followed suit and also immersed himself in the Pensieve.

Blake, who was originally on the ground, also jumped onto the table and joined them in plunging his dog face into the basin.
