Watching Lupin Love Sirius?
Ron must be out of his mind.
The other Ron, everyone in the room and in front of the live stream instantly thought the same thing.
Harry's eyes, which had just been moist, dried up, and his lips twitched.
Rupert changed the subject, "The most interesting thing is that the map also incorporates the thoughts of the Marauders. When Snape got his hands on it and tried to decipher it, he was thoroughly humiliated. Unfortunately, the movie didn't fully recreate that scene."
"How did those four manage to do that?" Harry curiously. Having already known his father's history and having no fondness for his father, he was surprised that their mischievous little organization could do such a thing. He looked at Dumbledore, "And they could even monitor your movements."
If it were him, he could fight Dumbledore head-on, but he could also monitor Dumbledore's movements and project them onto a magical artifact.
The knowledge and skills contained within are things he does not possess.
"The legacy of Gryffindor," Dumbledore said. "The Four Founders all left their treasures in this castle. The Marauder's Map was originally a piece of parchment, intended to be used to create a real-time map tied to Hogwarts, marking unregistered persons and Secret Passage."
(Godric Gryffindor: "I originally intended to use it to record the Secret Passage, so that my masterpiece wouldn't be accidentally destroyed during renovations. Marking unregistered persons around Hogwarts was Salazar's idea. With his departure from home, there was no longer any need to make this map.")
"It was not valued by the headmaster who knew of its existence, and was subsequently lost in some corner of the castle."
"James and the others found it, discovered its wonderful uses, drew a map on it based on their knowledge of Hogwarts, added marking magic to it, and infused it with their own ideas."
(Sirius: "As the students who know Hogwarts and Hogsmeade Village best, we believe it is necessary to tell those who come after us what we know about them, to help them escape their teachers' pursuit at night!")
("And leave behind our thoughts to teach those who come after us.")
(Fred: "Teacher!")
(George: "You've left behind more than the entire school taught. James Potter Remus Sirius @Remus Lupin @Peter.")
(Professor McGonagall: So the Weasley twins were trained by you?)
"These functions also rely on Hogwarts, an ancient building filled with magic."
"I have a question," Rupert raised his hand. "Why didn't Fred and George realize that Scabbers was Peter?"
"They got it in first grade."
"In the novel, Lupin, one of the creators, said that the Marauder's Map never lies, and he found Peter's name on it."
"Is it because Peter was also the creator of the map? Ordinary people using the Marauder's Map can't see his name, only Lupin, who was also a creator, can, just like how the Invisibility Cloak is more useful in the hands of the Potter family's descendants?"
"Twelve years," Dumbledore said. "That's the length of time Peter has been a rat. Never before has an Animagus ever done that, remaining in animal form for so long. Before he knew Sirius had escaped, he was a real rat, even fooling himself."
"Therefore, Minerva, who is also Animagus, would not be able to detect his identity, and there would only be Scabbers on the map."
"Peter's personality only re-emerged after he learned that Sirius had escaped from prison."
"His name has started to appear on the map."
"Oh, I see." Rupert suddenly realized.
The two Ron standing nearby both had sour faces because they were thinking of Scabbers.
Neville, however, was completely focused on the movie. He only just realized that his lollipop had been taken by Harry was wearing Invisibility Cloak.
Harry frowned, wondering how he could be so bold, as if he wanted everyone to notice that a red lollipop was so conspicuously suspended in the snow.
The shorter Draco looked down on his character in the movie even more, constantly insulting other people's families. He almost applauded when the invisible Harry threw a snowball at him.
(Goyle was very glad he wasn't there, so that Nott and Crabbe could suffer along with Draco.)
"In fact, Harry poked his head out at that moment." Rupert recalled his 'job,' "In the novels, Malfoy told the teacher, Snape discovered the Marauder's Map precisely because of that."
(Snape: "He must be furious. The child of Lily, whom he risked his life to protect, sneaked out of the school with Death Eater around.")
(Harry coughed awkwardly.)
(Firstly, he felt guilty; secondly, he was annoyed that Snape had never hidden his concern for him since his mother's resurrection.)
Dumbledore saw Snape's comment in the live stream. "My Severus here probably won't dare admit to caring about Harry even in his next life, even if our Lily has been resurrected."
That's why he stayed here even after watching the movie, to see how people from another world reacted in the live stream.
Unfortunately, he didn't like bubbling in the other world.
"Madam Rosmerta ~" x2
Both Ron were controlled by Madam Rosmerta, who appeared in the scene.
Ron coughed, embarrassed by his lapse in composure; he didn't know why he also liked Madam Rosmerta from the movie world.
Then, based on a scene from the movie, he casually started a conversation, "Are minors not allowed to enter the Three Broomsticks of Your World?"
Rupert said, "In the novel, you can go in; it wasn't just Harry eavesdropping, Ron and Hermione were there too."
Ron blushed and quickly said to Lavender in front of the camera, "I only love you, Lavender." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Baby."
Harry, knowing the so-called true history, cried because of Sirius's betrayal. "I still don't understand why he wouldn't tell me the truth when he was my godfather. That way he could stay with me, or at least come to visit me more often."
"That way, my days at the Dursley family won't be so unbearable."
(Sirius lowered his head, as if he saw his godson accusing him.)
"Ugh, I'm dizzy again." Harry, who was just feeling unwell, was speechless. "This is clearly just Boggart in Dementor."
Rupert chuckled. "In the movie version, you do always faint, for all sorts of reasons."
"But actually, you also fainted in the novel."
"But you all succeeded in the end."
"However, you chose the memory of leaving the Dursley family, he—"
"The first time I saw my parents' memories in that mirror," Harry said, adding that he had already seen it in the movie. "Even those best memories weren't real."
As Harry Potter, he felt this very deeply.
(Ginny was already in tears, Harry quickly hugged her to comfort her, saying, "I have you now, Mom, and Roan— ")
(Before he could even say his own name, for some reason, Ginny started crying even louder.)
Dumbledore wiped away his tears. "Didn't you do a very good job? As a professor."
(Lupin lowered his head, concealing a smile that unconsciously appeared on his face.)
(He knew Dumbledore was speaking to him, and to another version of himself.)
(At this moment, voices calling for Remus Lupin to become the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts again appeared in the live stream.)
(Snape, now serving as Defense Against the Dark Arts: Let me go?)
Regarding Ron and Hermione arguing over Crookshanks and Scabbers in the scene, Harry simply remarked, "Ah, Hermione has a cat!"
(Hermione strokes the large ginger cat beside her legs, her eyes widening, "Me in this world—")
(Before she could finish speaking, she instantly understood herself: with Basil around, who would care about the cat?)
(Like her, she's been neglecting Crookshanks and Sadie lately.)
(Sadie was alright; she turned her into a card, which she could use when she and Basil became cat-people in a close embrace.)
(Crookshanks was in a relatively worse situation.)
"Hermione here doesn't have a cat?" Rupert sighed. "That's a shame. Crookshanks is very clever; it recognized Scabbers as Animagus at a glance and even helped Sirius catch him."
Ron's face darkened. "Does a movie really need to be this detailed? They even filmed me waking up from a nightmare. I'm not afraid of spiders anymore!"
He felt that he, a big internet celebrity in the live streaming room, had lost face in front of his fans.
But in reality, no one in the room paid any attention to him.
Only Ron from the novel glared at him.
"I found Peter Pettigrew?" Harry was a little surprised. He watched himself in the movie following Peter's footprints down the corridor, even forgetting to pay attention to Snape's footprints behind him.
("Don't stick out your big nose and meddle in other people's business." Sirius was overjoyed. "Well said!")
"It was Lupin who discovered this in the novel," Rupert said. "Luckily, Lupin appeared just in time here. Otherwise, Gryffindor would have lost another 50 points."
(Snape: Oh, I didn't lose any points back then?)
"Your father didn't like following the rules either, but he and your mother gave their lives to save you. You don't respect their sacrifice. Knowing that there's a murderer on the run, you wander around the castle without any precautions. Is that how you repay them?" Lupin said angrily. "I will no longer protect you, Harry."
(Harry lowered his head in shame, realizing that Lupin had still covered for him, since Gryffindor hadn't lost any points.)
(Snape really wanted to applaud; he'd wanted to say it for a long time, but that would reveal his concern for Harry.)
"Lupin laughed?" Ron asked, puzzled. "He was just angry with Harry."
Rupert grinned wickedly. "Because he realized from Harry's words that Sirius might be innocent. There's a detail Dumbledore might have noticed."
Dumbledore: "Lupin loved Sirius, didn't he?"
No one paid attention to the scene where Hermione stormed out of the Divination after hearing this one sentence.
Harry, both Ron, Draco, and Neville were all shocked.
Rupert forced a laugh. "Mr. David Thewlis, the actor who played Lupin once said that he portrayed himself as gay because, because of the script, he thought Lupin liked Sirius."
(Lupin: "I like girls! Really! Nymphadora Tonks, you have to believe me.")
Dumbledore noticed Lupin's comment, and his eyebrows involuntarily rose. Didn't Nymphadora Tonks like Basil? Could it be that Nymphadora Tonks and Lupin were a couple in another world?
(Basil: Do I have to tell you that Nymphadora Tonks and Ginny in this world are too ordinary and I don't like them for you to understand?)
(Lupin: "Sirius may like James, but I'm normal. I used to have a crush on Lily.")
(To prove himself, he even went so far as to expose this secret.)
(Sirius was speechless, but he couldn't deny that his feelings for James went beyond friendship.)
(The same was true for James; after his death, the world felt a chill, and he searched the entire livestream but couldn't find Sirius's comment, which ironically...)
"Actually," Rupert said, barely managing to calm himself down, "Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks were a couple. They ended up together."
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I was instantly drawn to Trelawney's seemingly Shang-Chi voice in the movie.
"Merlin's Beard!" exclaimed Ron, the author. "So this is what the true Prophecy was like."
In the film Ron shows pity, saying, "No wonder Professor Trelawney thinks she's a fraud; she has no memory of her own Prophecy."
"Watch out, an iconic scene is ahead!" Rupert warned.
Ron frowned. "It's just an executioner sharpening his knife, could it be... Buckbeak?"
Rupert shook his head.
The tall Draco had already turned his head.
Short Draco's eyes widened. "You almost cried? How embarrassing, and you even got punched."
Ron from the movie exclaimed, "That's definitely a memorable scene, I still remember it to this day. Hmm, hmm."
He began to imitate Draco's sobbing.
Draco Elder argued, "That's Hermione Granger, who's number one in her class! She practically knows the whole library by heart!"
She was also Basil Granger's girlfriend.
He didn't say those words aloud.
(Hermione ignored Draco and the others' reactions, instead lying on Basil's lap, pointing at the image projected onto the live stream screen in mid-air, and said, "That rock... it's a rock, right? Actually, I threw it. I used the Time-Turner.")
("Uh, I was the one who threw Harry.")
Memorable scene, the three of us. jpg
("Don't look, I was just too heartbroken back then. Who would like Ron?")
"Could Buckbeak really be dead?" Ron swallowed hard.
Ron from the movie shook his head. "I don't know either. I thought Buckbeak was dead at the time. I guess it was a visual illusion. It still hurts to think about it now. If I had known, I would have let Scabbers go. That way, Sirius wouldn't have been dragging me so far by biting my leg."
"But it was really dangerous. Hermione and Harry almost lost their lives Whomping Willow."
Rupert said, "It wasn't that dramatic in the novel. Crookshanks saved them by pressing the claws into the knots of the tree, and the Whomping Willow stopped moving."
"Damn it, that line was supposed to be mine, or rather, Ron's, line, dragging his broken leg in front of Harry, 'If you're going to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!'"
"I've memorized this line!"
"Ron." Harry took Ron's hand.
