"Name. [No pop-up window novel network]"
"Sirius Orion Black."
"Remus John Lupin."
"Who did you serve in those years?"
"The Order of the Phoenix."
"The Order of the Phoenix."
"Regarding the Secret Keeper back then, why did you choose Peter Pettigrew at the last moment instead of Professor Lupin?"
… …
After forcibly pouring a few drops of Veritaserum down Lupin's throat, and then giving Sirius Black a few more drops, Hermione began her questioning.
Still relying on the magic of Veritaserum, Hermione kept revealing the truth of that year bit by bit through leading questions to Sirius Black, while also asking Lupin some questions to see if the Veritaserum's effects were real.
"I hate myself so much, I actually suspected someone I shouldn't have, and instead trusted a cowardly traitor! He had been Voldemort's spy for a year at that time, but James and I still trusted him so much," Sirius Black said painfully after the effects of the potion wore off.
"It's not your fault," Lupin said comfortingly, grabbing Sirius Black's shoulder.
"I know that I was the main suspect at the time, your suspicion was reasonable. I regret now that I chose to escape because I was too painful, and I didn't even carefully consider the doubts, and now I'm still being played around by that impostor! I even thought about asking him to go to the tavern for a drink in a few days to reminisce about our past."
"No need to wait a few days, now is fine, it's just that we don't need to go to the tavern, your office is a great place," Sirius's eyes seemed to have a fire burning in them.
There's no need to repeat everything that happened next.
Looking at the cowering Peter Pettigrew in front of him, Lupin no longer had any doubts.
Peter Pettigrew didn't have the confidence, if he was innocent, he wouldn't even have the courage to prove his innocence.
"Drink it, prove your so-called innocence," Sirius Black said ferociously, his tone full of fanaticism, "Or, I'll send you on your way now." Sirius Black trembled with excitement, this was the happiest moment he had had in twelve years, he even felt that he could now cast the most powerful Patronus Charm without any obstacles.
There is nothing more pleasant than revenge.
"Or should I send you on your way first?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind the three of them.
"Severus, save me, I need your help! Lupin is helping Sirius Black, this fugitive, to kill me!" Peter Pettigrew's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
In front of Peter Pettigrew, behind Black and Lupin, a thin man suddenly appeared, he had greasy black hair and a Roman hooked nose, and was looking at them with a cold expression.
"Shut up!" Snape's voice was low and deep, his usually cold and deep eyes were now flashing with madness, and his wand was now tightly pressed against Lupin's lower back.
Lupin could only stiffen his body and stop moving, only his mouth moved, trying to say something.
Even Snape's face was filled with uncontrollable smiles, of course, with an adjective—cruel.
"Expelliarmus!" History repeated itself, Sirius Black never expected that the wand holding Lupin would suddenly point at him again. Caught off guard, a strong light hit his arm, instantly knocking the wand pointing at Peter Pettigrew out of his hand.
"Very good, it seems that another charge will be added to your crimes, attacking a student," Snape reached out and took it, carefully looking at the disarmed wand in his hand, and said triumphantly.
"What, did you forget to take back your wand when you escaped from prison? Or has it been completely destroyed? This wand looks a bit familiar to me, it should belong to a student."
"Of course, these are no longer important, it's meaningless. After you choose to betray, there is only one end for you—Azkaban. I just regret that the Dementors have disappeared now, otherwise how much I would like them to give you a kiss, you will definitely enjoy it," Snape returned to his usual harsh tone, mixed with a hint of imperceptible anger.
"Severus, calm down, there are many misunderstandings here…" Lupin tried to persuade him in a gentle tone, hoping that this would allow Snape to listen to their explanation.
"That's right, and you," Remus. Snape's wand returned to his back, ignoring Lupin's explanation, and said in a low voice: "Today, more than just him will be going to prison, I'm also looking forward to Dumbledore's expression, a tamed werewolf he trusts is actually helping a fugitive? Or were you a gang back then, right?" He paused and continued Y yinly: "How much I hated Dumbledore for making me concoct that Wolfsbane Potion for you, but today I am extremely grateful to him, otherwise how would I have discovered such a big secret when I was delivering the medicine to you?"
"Severus, what you know is not the truth," Lupin's voice began to tremble, "We can explain everything, you just need to give us five minutes!"
"Enough! Leave it all to hell to explain! Your remaining lives should be spent in repentance. " Snape suddenly went mad, murmuring to himself: "Repent to her. ", the madness in his eyes turned into indescribable sadness in an instant.
"Sectumsempra!" Snape roared, unable to control his emotions, it was the man in front of him who indirectly killed her, he would not attack them with the Unforgivable Curses, but he also had his own means.
For a moment, it seemed as if an invisible blade floated through the air, Lupin's tattered robe rolled up in an instant, gray-black pieces of cloth soared into the sky, and blood flowed from the exposed skin.
"This is just interest, if possible, how much I would like to kill you directly." Snape's eyes were now like a poisonous snake, Y cold and cruel.
"Calm down, calm down, Severus." Lupin could only repeat these two sentences weakly, one hand tightly pressing the injured area just now, but the bright red blood Y still flowed continuously from the wound.
"Stupefy!" Snape shouted loudly, and the tip of his wand once again stimulated a dazzling light with his spell, he was now going to completely subdue these two criminals.
But what was unbelievable was that at such a close distance, the spell actually missed and directly hit the bookshelf. For a while, wood chips flew, dust filled the air, blocking the sight of several people.
"Professor Lupin, hurry!" Hermione shouted, it was she who suddenly jumped out of the bookcase next to her and grabbed Snape's feet, causing him to lose his balance, which caused the spell to deviate at such a close distance.
"Granger! You're going to be expelled! You actually dare to help a fugitive!" Snape roared angrily with his head down.
That messy brown hair instantly exposed her identity, but it was also this moment that distracted Snape.
Victory or defeat is determined in this moment.
