He was so shocked by Harry’s words that he couldn’t even utter a complete sentence for a moment.

“What did you discover?”

“Peter’s Animagus is a rat. Ron, the pet rat of the red-haired boy in the carriage, is also a rat. He has lived for 13 years and is missing a toe on his right paw!”

“This is not the life span of an ordinary mouse.” Lupin’s face was stiff.

Harry picked up the cat on his knees and said,”This is Crookshanks, a half-breed catkin, who inherited the talent of a catkin. He reacted to Scabbers, Ron’s pet.”

“So before, Hermione and I had speculated that the mouse might be an Animagus.”

“But he didn’t do anything, so I ignored him.

Lupin didn’t say anything, just listened to the shocking information in silence. He needed some time to digest it.

“But now it seems that it may not be that simple, they are both hamsters, both have disabled right paws, and it has been thirteen years.”Harry sneered,”There are not so many coincidences in this world.”

Lupin played with the wand on the table, and his tone was full of doubt:”Since Sirius is a criminal and was arrested in Azkaban, Peter is a hero, he doesn’t need to hide.”

“Could it be……”He looked at Harry with a hint of expectation and deep sadness, hoping to get a promise from him.

Harry did not comment immediately, but comforted him:”Think about it in a positive way, maybe it’s just an ordinary mouse, Black is the real murderer, and Peter is really dead.””

“It’s just that there are too many coincidences, we’d better verify it.”

Lupin opened his mouth, and after a long while, he nodded and said,”You are so sensitive, even James is not as sensitive as you.”

“And death is not a good thing. It would be a good thing if Peter were alive.”

Harry raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise:”You prefer to believe that Peter is the one who betrayed my father.々ˇ々ˇ?”

Lupin’s hand holding his wand froze, but he said nothing.

“It seems that there are differences in closeness and distance in your small group.” Harry smiled lightly.

Lupin sighed and still said nothing.

Harry frowned and asked,”Is Black mute?”

Lupin shook his head,”No, his mouth basically never stops moving.”

“Did the explosion rip his mouth apart?” Harry looked at the newspaper and saw that there was no headshot of Black.

Lupin frowned as well. He was a little confused as to why Harry asked such a strange question, but he still answered patiently,”No, he was not injured. He did not resist when the Aurors subdued him.””

“Oh? That’s a bit strange. If he’s not a traitor, why doesn’t he just say it out loud?”Harry’s fingers tapped lightly on the table.

“Maybe it’s because of illegal Animagus, you know…….”Lupin spoke.

Harry interrupted him:”Even if he is an illegal Animagus, at most he will go to Azkaban for a few months, and then be released after re-registration, but now he has been there for thirteen years!”

“Thirteen years of Dementor’s Kiss would basically ruin a person.”

Lupin thought for a long time and uttered:”With his brain, he might really be able to do such a thing!”

Harry glanced at Lupin. Even his long-time friend said so. Harry had a general understanding of Black’s brain.

“But if Sirius is the traitor.” Harry continued,”If Scabbers is Peter, then why is he hiding? Black has been arrested and sent to Azkaban, so he will not pose any threat to him.”

“And on the train, in the Gryffindor common room, my magical items that detect malevolence are all warning”

“I thought the malice came from you, so I knocked you out in the car.”

Lupin smiled bitterly.

“I believe in Ron and Hermione. The malice can only come from the fifth person, Scabbers, or maybe Peter.”

“But why would he have ill will towards me?”

“If he really is Peter”

“If he really had ill will towards me, he wouldn’t have done anything to me in the past two years.”

“So I guess he started to show his malice after I met you. He was afraid that I would meet you?”When Harry said this, his tone was a little puzzled.

“If that’s the case, maybe what it’s afraid of is me telling you what his Animagus is.” Lupin said.

Harry nodded in agreement.

Lupin seemed to have some brains. He liked dealing with smart people.

“Professor, how long have you not been back to the Gryffindor common room? Do you want to go back and have a look?” Harry smiled.

Lupin was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said,”Come to think of it, I miss that place too.”

“¨「How about taking me back? Thank you.”Harry said with a smile

“¨「Of course, it is the professor’s responsibility to protect the students.”Lupin said with a smile. The two stood up and walked towards the Gryffindor common room.

“”Do you know how to Disillusion?” Harry stopped and turned around to ask.

Lupin nodded, raised his wand and responded,”Why do you want me to use the Disillusionment Charm?”

Harry heard Lupin’s doubts and explained,”You go in with me. If that man is really Peter, he will definitely notice something. If he hasn’t run away yet, it would be better for you to hide.”

Lupin nodded in understanding. He had seen Harry’s intelligence clearly.

He looked very much like James, but his personality and brain were like his mother.

Lupin picked up the wand and tapped himself, and his body disappeared on the spot like a curtain of water.

They walked into the lounge and said goodbye.

Only Ron was lying alone in front of the fireplace, flipping through a book.

Harry looked around and didn’t see Hermione, so he asked,”Where is Hermione?”

Ron looked up and replied,”She said she was going to find Professor McGonagall. I guess it’s because of the class schedule. You know she signed up for all the electives, but the classes conflict with each other. I guess she’s going to ask Professor McGonagall to see if there’s any solution.”

Harry pulled out a bottle of red potion from his bag and said casually,”Where’s your Scabbers? I ran into Hagrid on the way back, and he said that a blood-replenishing potion might be of some use to Scabbers’ condition.”

Ron didn’t think it was strange that Harry ran into Hagrid in his office on the sixth floor on the second floor. He casually reached into his pocket, but found nothing.

“”Hey? Where’s Scabbers?” Ron got up, fumbled in his pockets, then looked at his schoolbag, then searched everywhere, but still couldn’t find it.

“It’s gone? When?” Ron was shocked.
