Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

John's words startled Professor Lupin slightly.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"I didn't expect you to recognize it already. That's right, that black dog is Sirius Black in disguise."

Professor Lu Ping looked out the window.

How can I explain this to you?

"To be frank, I believe his story for now and believe he has been wronged."

"However, I haven't verified the evidence he provided."

Professor Lu Ping tapped his fingers lightly on the table, the rhythm steady and thoughtful.

John frowned. What did he mean by "the evidence hasn't been verified yet"?

"Sigh, let me briefly tell you what happened back then."

Seeing that John seemed dissatisfied with his answer, Professor Lupin sighed and continued.

Soon, he began by recounting to John a tragedy that had occurred more than a decade ago from his own perspective.

This tragedy also involved Harry Potter and his deceased parents.

Simply put...

More than a decade ago, Voldemort, the master of the Death Eaters, also known as the Man of Unknown, suddenly began hunting down Harry's parents and the newborn Harry Potter.

Then, to protect them, Dumbledore provided them with a spell called the Faithful Charm.

This spell will seal a secret forever within the soul of the person who keeps the secret. As long as the person keeps the secret does not reveal it, no one will be able to discover it.

At the time, they used the Potters' house as a secret place to cast a spell, preventing Voldemort from finding it.

Then, Sirius Black was the one who kept the secret.

So as long as Sirius doesn't leak the secret, Voldemort will never be able to find the Potters.

But as we all know, the Potters were brutally murdered by Voldemort in the end.

So it's obvious that Sirius leaked the secret.

After Sirius Black's secret was leaked, his other friend Peter Pettigrew caught up with him in a Muggle community.

The two had a fierce argument, and in the end, Sirius blew Peter to pieces, leaving him with only one finger.

He also bombed a Muggle community, killing twelve innocent Muggles on the spot in a horrific scene.

When the Ministry of Magic arrived, Sirius was the only one left standing in the ruins, laughing maniacally.

The Ministry of Magic immediately arrested Sirius Black and soon sent him directly to Azkaban prison.

This is what Professor Lu Ping knows about what happened back then.

After Professor Lu Ping finished speaking, the water next to him boiled, making a whirring sound.

He got up, lifted the kettle off the stove, and made a cup of tea for John and himself.

The aroma of tea slowly permeated the air.

Judging from this story alone, Sirius Black is indeed undoubtedly the culprit.

But if that were the case, Professor Lupin wouldn't have saved Sirius Black.

"So, what was the truth back then?"

"Did the 'Spell of Unwavering Loyalty' fail? Or did Sirius Black leak the secret?"

John picked up his hot tea, blew on it gently, and asked curiously.

"Neither."

Professor Lu Ping shook his head.

According to Sirius Black, he wasn't actually the one who kept secrets back then.

"He secretly discussed it with Harry's parents and eventually changed the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew, the one who was just said to have been blown up."

John was taken aback when he heard this.

This was truly an unexpected turn of events.

In other words, the real leaker was Peter Pettigrew?

"His idea at the time was to go out and act as bait, so that Voldemort would mistake him for the Secret Agent and attract his attention."

"Then Peter Pettigrew will act as the true secret keeper, keeping the secret forever."

Professor Lu Ping recounted the truth that Sirius had told him that day.

Hearing this, John shook his head with amusement.

Sirius Black is really muddle-headed.

Since they were prepared to go out as bait and endure Voldemort's pursuit and even torture, why weren't they prepared to be good at keeping secrets?

Regardless of which one it is, they will all be hunted down by Voldemort.

It would be better to keep the secret to yourself.

Professor Lupin, oblivious to John's expression, continued speaking.

"They didn't tell anyone about secretly changing the person in charge of keeping the secret."

"Then, after Pettigrew leaked the information, Sirius angrily found him and killed Pettigrew without hesitation."

"After Little Pettigrew died, there was no way to verify the truth, so Sirius became the undisputed whistleblower."

Well, Sirius deserved to be thrown into Azkaban.

Not only did he refuse to keep secrets, he also personally killed the only person who could prove his innocence.

Then they remained silent about Little Pettigrew, the real leaker.

He voluntarily took all the blame and imprisoned himself in Azkaban.

He probably felt that this would allow him to atone for his sins.

ridiculous.

Most importantly, such an important matter as changing the custodian was not only kept from Professor Lupin, a friend, but also not told Dumbledore.

John couldn't think of anything that could prove Sirius's innocence, unless Little Petrarch could be resurrected.

The next moment, Professor Lu Ping continued.

"The reason Sirius escaped is that he discovered that Peter Pettigrew was not actually dead."

"He was also an illegal Animagus who turned into a rat and hid for over a decade."

?

John, who was drinking tea, was taken aback.

No, are Animagus really that easy to learn?

Wait.

Rats... for over ten years...

John suddenly remembered the mouse that Orange had been catching.

"Ron's pet, the rat Scabbers that's over ten years old?"

John said to Professor Lupin in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly. Yes, it's him."

Professor Lupin nodded, confirming John's idea.

So the reason why Big Orange wanted to capture Banban was probably because Sirius instructed him, and Big Orange also realized that Banban was a bad guy.

They're all connected now.

John suddenly understood many of his doubts.

"So I'm also having a headache about how to explain to Ron and get him to hand over Scabbers to me."

Professor Lu Ping said helplessly as he sipped his tea.

"No, Professor, you've caught Sirius's idiocy. Why go to all that trouble?"

"Just find a dinner party where Principal Dumbledore is also present."

"Bring Sirius Black in his Black Dog form, and then immediately dismantle Scabbers' Animagus."

"If he really is Sirius, then let Sirius return to his original form and confront him face to face."

"Headmaster Dumbledore will naturally make the judgment, and Ron should thank you in return."

"But if Scabbers is just an ordinary mouse, then you can just hand over Sirius Black, since he's beyond saving anyway."

Professor Lupin was deeply moved after hearing John's words.

Is it really that rough?

But it seems like a good idea?
