time at hogwarts
287. Lies and truth
Harry looked at the wanted criminal in front of him a little stiffly. He never expected that the wanted criminal was hiding quietly in Hogsmeade.
Recalling the wizards' comments about him and Mr. Weasley's words, he looked at the unconscious Ron and Magos, and his heart kept sinking.
"It seems that I am quite famous. Nice to meet you, Harry." Sirius Black's tone was slightly excited.
And it sounded to Harry like he couldn't wait to kill him and show off to Voldemort.However, judging from the brief confrontation just now, his attempt to make a comeback in this situation was tantamount to talking nonsense.
"Why did you attack us?" Harry tried hard to hide his fear, waiting for what he would say next. This was to bring Voldemort back to his peak.
Sirius looked at him with a hint of madness and he couldn't help but retreat.
"I want to see if my friend's only son is as good as him."
"My friend is my father." Harry looked a little confused. His father used to be friends with the vicious criminal in front of him.
"Of course, judging by the look on your face, no one should have told you this." He said and flicked his wand angrily.
"They all thought I killed James. How could I do such a thing."
The amount of information in this sentence was a bit large, and Harry stared blankly at the wanted criminal venting his anger in front of him.
"You killed my father"
"Of course not," Sirius replied immediately, and then his face twisted convulsively.
"It was Peter. He betrayed your father. Then he framed me. Then he became a hero, and I became a prisoner in Azkaban."
Although Harry didn't understand the relationship between his father and the man in front of him and the man named Peter, he vaguely guessed from these few words that his father, James Potter, was probably betrayed by his most trusted friend. Only to be killed by Voldemort.
Harry held his wand tightly and suddenly raised it towards Sirius.
"Who killed my father?"
Seeing Harry's hateful eyes, the madness in Sirius's eyes gradually dissipated, and he looked at Harry calmly.
"Peter Pettigrew. Harry, your father asked me to be your godfather. I know you won't believe me. I won't hurt you. You can leave with your friends. I think you will know who you are." The real enemy."
"Where is Peter?" Harry was not moved by Sirius' tone and asked angrily with red eyes.
"Hogwarts." Sirius returned.
"Everyone thinks that I want to enter Hogwarts because of you, and that is indeed part of the reason. But, more importantly, I smelled Peter's stink and finally found out that he was hiding in Hogwarts."
"There is no wizard named Peter at Hogwarts." Harry retorted. He did not trust Sirius's words. He preferred to bring him to Dumbledore and let Dumbledore distinguish the truth from the false.So he moved his arms slightly, trying to subdue him when he wasn't prepared.
"He's right there. If you let me in, I can find that disgusting rat."
At this point, he suddenly pointed his wand at Harry.
"Except Your Weapons"
Harry was the first to use his attack, but Sirius also evaded it immediately.
The same spell of "Expelliarmus" was cast the moment Sirius dodged.Harry dodged and was hit, and the wand in his hand was knocked away.
Before Harry could think about the next situation, Sirius not only wasn't annoyed, but also praised him, and then quickly used the spell to lift the coma on Ron and Magos, while retreating back into the darkness.
"It's an advantage not to believe in one-sided words. Like I said, I won't hurt you. You can leave. By the way, Harry, you and James are really similar."
"How do I find Peter?" Harry asked loudly, realizing that Sirius was really ready to let them go.
"He's a dead wizard, but that's just his way of hiding from me. His Animagus is a rat."
Harry wanted to go up and ask, but as soon as he took a step, he found that the passage just disappeared, and there was only ordinary mud blocking the way.
Ron and Magos woke up from their drowsiness and saw Harry's eyes filled with hatred.
"Who attacked us? You defeated him?" Ron rubbed the back of his head, feeling a little hurt from the fall.
Magos guessed who had attacked them from Harry's expression, but he still shook his head and said that he too had been knocked unconscious.
Looking at the curious and worried looks of his friends, Harry forced a smile.
"The one attacking us is Sirius Bright."
Ron looked at them happily.
"You fought him off"
Harry shook his head.
"He left on his own initiative." Then he said what Sirius just said without reservation.
"Little Peter" Ron scratched his hair in distress.
"I feel like I've heard of this name. By the way, I remembered it."
Harry looked at him sharply.
"My father told me about this name. On the day our family knew that Sirius escaped from Azkaban, he said that it was Peter the Little Star who used his own life to stop Sirius who wanted to continue killing innocent people indiscriminately, and injured him. He was arrested by the Ministry of Magic after killing him."
Harry thought of Sirius's words before leaving.The dead wizard.
"Could he be hiding instead of dead?"
"It's impossible. The Ministry of Magic issued this notice after repeated confirmations."
"That means Sirius is lying." Harry said bitterly.
"Don't be so sure yet," Magos said.
"Didn't Sirius say that Peter Pettigrew's Animagus is a mouse? Then will he always live as a mouse?"
"How is this possible?" Ron couldn't imagine a wizard turning into a mouse to survive.
"That's not certain." He looked at Ron thoughtfully.
Ron was a little confused by what he saw, and then he suddenly realized something.
"What do you mean, you doubt Banban?"
"Isn't it just a mouse? If what Sirius said is true, then all the mice in Hogwarts are suspicious."
"Nonsense." Ron yelled angrily.
"Scabbers has been in my house for more than ten years. It can't be a wizard. Could it be that it will always live in the form of animagus?"
Magos didn't feel comfortable continuing to provoke Ron. He was not worried that Ron would be angry, but that he was afraid that if he really asked Scabbers, something would be difficult to handle.
"We'd better inform Principal Dumbledore about this. Otherwise, if Sirius is as rumored, it will be very dangerous for Sirius to come to Hogsmeade in the future."
Due to the sudden appearance of Sirius and the unknown information, Harry's mood was extremely low now. Even when he returned to the school dormitory, he looked at Scabbers with strange eyes.
Recalling the wizards' comments about him and Mr. Weasley's words, he looked at the unconscious Ron and Magos, and his heart kept sinking.
