“Peter.” Lupin spoke, he stared at Peter coldly, holding the wand tightly in his hand, with no intention of putting it down, his eyes full of vigilance,”Long time no see, I thought you had died, I didn’t expect that for so many years, you have been staying in the Weasley family with Animagus.”

Peter seemed panicked, and hurriedly defended himself:”I, I’m afraid that Sirius will come back to retaliate against me, you know him, he is a brainless lunatic!”

“Ever since he was arrested and put into Azkaban, you already knew that he would escape?” Lupin questioned, his tone full of suspicion and distrust. Peter spoke anxiously, his mouth opening and closing rapidly, he was so excited that he almost lost his mind, and almost bit his tongue:”Of course, we have learned in class how Dementors rely on to capture prisoners. We all understand the magic of Animagus. Of course I know that he has the ability to escape from a place like Azkaban.”

Lupin opened his mouth and was about to continue asking.

Harry waved his hand and interrupted him indifferently:”Professor, there is no need to waste so much time on this guy.”

Lupin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“”Peter!” Harry suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound exploded in Peter’s ears like thunder, making him focus his eyes on Harry involuntarily.

“Bewitching people!”

A scarlet light flashed in Harry’s eyes, and a small pendulum appeared in Peter’s eyes. The pendulum swung a few times like a ghost, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant. Peter’s eyes suddenly became drowsy, as if shrouded in fog.

“Who was the person who revealed the address of the Potter mansion to Voldemort?” Harry’s tone was urgent and anxious. He almost couldn’t wait to ask this most crucial question.

At this moment, Peter’s voice was extremely stiff. He slowly said,”It was me.”

Lupin’s eyes widened, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief. He tightly grasped the wand in his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, as if he could explode at any time.

“The secret keeper, isn’t Sirius the secret keeper? How do you know the address?” Lupin could no longer maintain his original gentleness. He almost roared and asked, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.

“I had deliberately pretended to be worried about Sirius’s safety when I was around him, because everyone knew that Sirius and James had the closest relationship, and the Dark Lord would definitely capture him first, and then torture him to force him to tell me James’ address.”

“So Sirius was also very worried about this problem. He persuaded James to replace the secret keeper with me, an insignificant little character, at the last minute.”

Lupin staggered back two steps, a flash of sadness and sorrow in his eyes, as if something in his heart was broken.

Harry’s eyes were as cold as frost, and he continued to ask,”When did you become Voldemort’s lackey?”

Peter was like a puppet who had lost his soul at this time, and he mechanically and honestly confessed,”Soon after graduation, Death Eaters caught me, and I surrendered to them.”

Lupin gritted his teeth, the blue veins on his forehead burst out:”Why did you do this?”

Peter’s voice became numb and empty:”You have always looked down on me”

“You just treat me as a follower, a little mouse for your amusement.”

Lupin’s face became a little unnatural, and he turned his head to the side, as if he didn’t want to face what Peter said.

Harry noticed this keenly, and it seemed that as he had guessed before, even in a small group, there were such distant relationships. Harry glanced at Peter, who was confused, and then swung his hand. A red light hit him, causing him to fall to the ground instantly.

“Harry?” Lupin was shocked and said in disbelief:”You, you killed him?”

“No, I just made him pass out.” Harry said calmly.

Then he took out another bottle of potion from his bag and forced it into Peter’s mouth.

“What about this?”Lupin didn’t dare to move. He could feel that Harry was very angry. It would be safer not to make too many moves for the time being.

“Water of life and death, double insurance!” Harry put away the half-empty potion.

Lupin approached Peter cautiously and carefully checked his breath. When he found that his breath was steady, Lupin’s tense heart finally relaxed a little.

“I know I have to keep him here to exonerate Sirius Black, so he can’t die for the time being!”Although he said so, Harry’s face was really ugly. He wanted to kill this damn sewer traitor rat on the spot.

But now he knew that Sirius Black was innocent and was his father’s best friend. He had to clear his name no matter what.

So he restrained his killing intention.

Lupin patted Harry’s shoulder gently and said,”Thank you, Harry, you helped Sirius a lot.”

But Harry shook his head and said,”It’s just for my father’s sake.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“I’m just thinking about a problem.”

Lupin listened patiently. He had always been alone and didn’t have much experience in comforting others, so at this time, being a quiet listener might be the best choice for him.

“‘You keep saying Sirius has no brains, but I never thought that he didn’t have no brains, but he had lost them.’ Harry said with emotion, ‘Would he rather accept the Dementor’s kiss for thirteen years in that horrible and gloomy Azkaban than open his precious mouth and tell all these things?’

Lupin was startled when he heard this, and didn’t know what to say for a moment. After all, Sirius, he really…

“Ahem, this, this, Sirius is just like this, you know, he is a typical Gryffindor.”Lupin stuttered and could only say this sentence.

“I am still the Lion King of Gryffindor!” Harry looked at him dissatisfiedly,”Gryffindor can be reckless, but not stupid. Judging from Sirius’s performance, even a troll with a head full of dung may be smarter than him.”

“Peter is also stupid. He dares to stay in the castle for such a long time. He really thinks that no one can find him. Where does he get such confidence?”

“Also, your performance just now was not very good…….”

Lupin gritted his teeth and said bitterly,”That’s entirely your fault, Harry! He cast a hundred-fold Lumos spell without saying a word. No wizard would ever do that! It’s outrageous!”

He directly put the blame on Harry, not wanting to bear the stigma of being an idiot.[]

Harry responded without hesitation:”In a dark environment, strong light is the best means of control. Even the new wizards know this.”

“So I’m worried that my father might be the same as you! This shouldn’t be hereditary.” Harry frowned, his face full of worry and concern.

Lupin suddenly clenched his fists and shouted excitedly:”I’m not the kind of person Sirius, I just can’t keep up with your thinking sometimes!”

Harry looked at him with complicated eyes, nodded reluctantly, and believed what he said.

This made Lupin feel upset.
