A series of changes made Harry dumbfounded. First, Professor Lupine appeared inexplicably with his Marauder's Map. He was not here to subdue Black, but to help him. Then, Professor Lupine told them something like Facts like fantasy.
Black was not the murderer who killed his parents. The real murderer was Peter Pettigrew, who was awarded the Order of Merlin First Class by the Ministry of Magic. And that guy turned into a mouse and lived in the Weasley family for more than ten years, and became a Ron's pet.
Harry almost shuddered if all this was true.
He actually spent three years living with the murderer who killed his parents day and night, and many times he would help Ron feed Scabbers.
Not to mention Ron, even Harry was unwilling to accept such a result.
And now, Harry's most hated Professor Snape has also appeared. He seems to have a deep hatred for Black and Lupine. He first confiscated the wands of Lupine and Black, then knocked down Lupine, and finally pointed the wand at Black. His eyes looked like they would kill him at any moment.
For a moment, Harry couldn't tell who had the deeper hatred on the faces of Snape and Black, who were glaring at each other.
"Say something,"
Snape's face was livid, he put his wand against Black's eyebrows, and every word that came out of his mouth was filled with deep resentment.
"Tell me, the werewolf lying on the ground is telling lies. Black, as long as you say so, I promise to give you a good time. Black, tell me now!"
Snape's dark eyes released a terrifying light, and his last words were growled.
In the somber forest, a slight sigh was hidden in the wind and the dancing of the forest leaves, and no one noticed it.
Maybe in the next second, Sirius will bid farewell to his life, but he doesn't have a trace of fear. Instead, he grins, his voice is slightly hoarse,
"You're joking again, Severus. You haven't improved at all in all these years."
In the more than three years since he entered the school, Harry has seen Professor Snape with only two colors most of the time, one is sallow in normal times, and the other is livid when facing him, but tonight , after Sirius said those words, he rarely witnessed an abnormal flush on Snape's face. Everyone who witnessed this scene knew that Snape's sanity was probably on the verge of collapse.
Harry didn't want Snape to kill Black, at least, not yet.
Lupine believed Black, and Professor Lupine himself was deeply trusted by Professor Dumbledore and Professor Brain. If Lupine believed in the wrong person, it was equivalent to Professor Dumbledore and Professor Brain believing in the wrong person. .
"Professor Snape - listen - listen, I mean, Professor Lupine was just talking about last Halloween, there's no harm in hearing the rest of what they said, is there?"
Hermione's view was obviously the same as Harry's. She looked at Remus on the ground fearfully, and then said in a timid voice.
"Miss Granger, now is not the time for you to prove that your brain is better than others. You are already facing suspension from school!"
Snape was still pointing his wand between Black's eyebrows, but he suddenly turned his head. His expression was so terrifying that even Harry didn't have the courage to refute. However, Hermione bit her lip and continued tremblingly,
"If--if it's true--"
"Shut up, you stupid girl!" Snape shouted, suddenly going crazy. "Don't talk about things you don't understand!"
"Severus--"
Lupine, who was lying on the ground, was no longer struggling, but said with a sad face, "You understand what the truth is, Severus, you just don't want to face it."
"Shut up, werewolf!"
A few sparks shot out from the tip of Snape's wand. Sirius instinctively wanted to avoid it, but Snape grabbed his collar tightly and roared,
"Whether that's the truth or not, Blake, you deserve death!"
Hearing this, Sirius, who had an unruly expression on his face, suddenly froze, and then his expression darkened. He turned his head and looked at Harry. The guilty expression on his face made Harry unable to believe what Professor Lupin just said. are all true.
Ron was still shaking his head and mumbling nonsense. Obviously, the fact that Scabbers was a murderer had a great impact on him.
"True or not, Severus—"
At this time, Hagrid was the first to come to his senses. He frowned and looked at Professor Snape and said,
"It should be left to Professor Dumbledore to judge. Severus, under the current situation, I think Black can indeed be allowed to live a little longer--"
Snape remained unmoved, still glaring at Black with hateful eyes.
"I don't have a problem with you wanting me to die, Snotlout—"
After taking a deep breath, Sirius retracted his gaze from staring at Harry's face that looked exactly like James, and said calmly,
"But that guy Peter probably hasn't gone far yet. If we can't catch him tonight, I'm afraid he will fly away!"
Snape's cheek twitched, but he did not let go of Sirius' collar.
"Severus--"
Lu Ping half-knelt on the ground and said tiredly,
"You don't have to believe us, but you should believe Amosta, right?"
Amosta?
Snape's eyes flickered. Among the things Lupine said just now, Amosta was not involved. What does this matter have to do with him?
"--You came out too early before, and I haven't finished talking about what happened next,"
He raised his head and looked into Snape's eyes and said,
"In fact, Amosta captured Sirius before Christmas. He checked Sirius's memory and confirmed that the person who killed James and Lily was indeed Peter. In order not to disturb the people lurking in the dark, Peter, that’s why he decided not to expand this matter. Previously, you should have seen a black cat named Lenny next to Amosta, he is Sirius--"
In the darkness, Harry quietly opened his mouth. He looked at Hermione blankly, but found that Hermione's expression was almost the same as his. Even Ron did not defend Scabbers in a thick voice. He looked like he was under a petrification spell.
"This is a lie"
Snape's lowered eyes became trance-like, which was the result of him using Occlumency to close his heart.
"You know that both Dumbledore and Amostar have left the school, and you want to help this scum escape, right? I see through your heart, Lupin."
"If you really see through it, Severus."
Lupine did not avoid his eyes, he said firmly, "Then you should know that everything I say is not false."
