Lupin nodded and agreed:”This is the only way for him to avoid the Dementors’ pursuit.”

“Dementors have no eyes, they sense human emotions and souls through their sense of smell. Human emotions and souls emit a special smell, and Dementors can keenly capture this smell and use it to track and attack humans. But Animagus can turn a person, from body to soul, into a beast, and the emotions of beasts are not within the perception range of Dementors.”

Harry stopped touching Crookshanks’ hand, stared at him and asked,”So, what kind of animal is Black’s Animagus?”

Lupin paused, his face showing hesitation.

“Maybe in your heart, Black is your good brother, good buddy, and even his brain would never betray you.” Harry took out Lupin’s wand and gently squeezed it,”But what I know now is that he is a vicious dark wizard.”

“Bombed the”991717″ street, killing a dozen Muggles”

“My father appointed him as the confidential person, but my home address was leaked out”

“Even after the Ministry of Magic caught him, he confessed his crime and was imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years.”

“I don’t know how he managed to escape from Azkaban thirteen years after being kissed by the Dementors.”

“But now I have to ensure my own safety. I don’t want to live in fear all day long. I have had enough of this kind of bad life in the first grade.”

“Professor Lupin, you are also a good friend of my father, you should know what to do, right?”

Lupin’s face darkened, he lowered his head, closed his eyes and sighed,”Sirius’ Animagus is a big black dog.”

“It’s a perfect match with the Dementors.” Harry raised his eyebrows.

Dementors are evil creatures that feed on happiness.

In Western culture, black dogs are usually seen as symbols of evil, fear and death.

Lupin looked ugly, and forced a smile and said,”This is a random change, and it’s just an ordinary black dog, it has nothing to do with anything ominous.”

“Really?” Harry raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him without saying anything.

Lupin whispered:”This is why I didn’t even tell him about Dumbledore. After all, he is still a criminal, and all the bad things will be blamed on him.”

“As you know, illegal Animagus will be sentenced to imprisonment in Azkaban prison.”

“Maybe, perhaps, I’m just assuming.”

Lupin gritted his teeth and said,”If Sirius really didn’t betray James, and there was some misunderstanding, he would be sent back to Azkaban because of this crime.”

“Oh, the premise of all this is that he really didn’t betray me, otherwise, Azkaban would have been his home.” Harry sneered.

Seeing Harry’s attitude, Lupin sighed. Facing Harry’s opinion, he had nothing to say. In fact, even he himself was doubting it. As the person involved, could he stop Harry from hating Black, who was defined as a traitor?

“”You four all know Animagus?” Harry continued to ask. He touched Crookshanks’ fur. The cat-nipple had not moved, and its golden eyes had not responded. He did not detect any malicious intent, which made him feel a little relieved. He handed the wand back to Lupin.

Lupin was stunned, then reached out to take it:”I haven’t practiced, but all three of them know it.”

He casually placed the wand on the table, then slumped back, his head resting comfortably on the back of the chair, his eyes looking into the distance, but his pupils were slightly dilated, and he looked dull, showing a void of distraction.

The memories sleeping in his mind, the most beautiful memories of his life, began to flash before his eyes, and he sighed:”Because I am a werewolf, I never dared to contact others, but after they found out that I was a werewolf, not only did they help me keep the secret, but they also did not despise me. They told me that we can be good friends!”

“They are brave enough to become good friends with a werewolf. If I lose my mind and bite them on a full moon night, their lives will be over.”

“But they were not afraid of this, and in order to let me know clearly that I was a werewolf every full moon and accompany me in my most painful days, they decided to study Animagus”

“Because even if a beast is bitten by a werewolf, it will not mutate.”

“They dared not tell anyone else and could only study it secretly. Animagus is a very dangerous magic. If they failed, they would not be able to change back to human form. But fortunately, they all succeeded.”

“James’s animagus is a stag, so we gave him a nickname: Prongs”

“Sirius just said it was a black dog, we called him Padfoot”

“Peter’s presence has never been strong, and he doesn’t have any outstanding talents. His success was beyond all of our expectations, but his Animagus was a mouse, and we laughed at him for a long time……….”

Harry’s eyes widened, and he suddenly lost his composure and stood up, interrupting him:”Wait, what did you just say?”

Lupin was startled by Harry’s big move, and subconsciously said:”Peter has been laughed at by us for a long time?”

“No, it’s the previous sentence……….”Harry shook his head.

Lupin was stunned, thought for a moment and said,”Peter’s Animagus is a mouse, what’s wrong with that?”

“”What are his characteristics?” Harry asked quickly,”like a missing finger or toe?”

Lupin shook his head:”Peter���He is short and ugly, but his body is intact and he has no disability.”

“Are you sure?” Harry frowned.

Lupin seemed to have thought of something:”Not impossible.”

He waved his wand, the drawer opened, and an old newspaper flew out and landed in front of Harry.

“This is a report from thirteen years ago. I have kept this newspaper.”

Harry took the newspaper, opened his eyes and scanned it.

The photo on the front page was shocking.

On the dark street, there were broken bricks and smoke everywhere, blood and corpses lying on the ground, which was unbearable to look at. In the middle of the street, Sirius Black stood there, his eyes numb and empty, and he allowed the Aurors to search and question him without any expression.

The article reported that Peter, the hero who stopped Sirius, was blown to pieces in the explosion, leaving only his right index finger, which was his only remaining remains.

“His body was blown to pieces? That’s what 3.4 said, and no one actually saw his body.” 3.4 Harry read the report from thirteen years ago carefully, word by word,”What kind of mouse is Peter’s Animagus? A hamster, a vole, or a shrew?”

Lupin answered,”It’s a shrew.”

“”Squid. Branch. Mouse.” The newspaper was wrinkled where Harry grabbed it, and it was obvious that he was not in a calm mood.”Maybe Peter is not dead yet?” Harry raised his head and looked at Lupin with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

All these clues, combined together, are really a bit suspicious!

Lupin immediately sat up straight and leaned towards Harry. A look of surprise appeared on his face, as if he was suddenly struck by lightning and was stunned. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say. After a while, the voice came out of his mouth with difficulty:”No, not dead? How is it possible? There is only one finger left. He…he……”.
