Unregistered Animagi, Enough for a Game of Mahjong

"This is absurd," Hermione said, frowning slightly. "No one can do this."

"That's why I admire him!" Aaron exclaimed. "To survive, he gave up his human dignity and was willing to become an animal."

Luckily, Ron, you're a man. If you were a woman and had lived with him for twelve years, you probably would have even contemplated suicide.

However, it's unknown whether such a pervert would be interested in his owner's gender.

Ron's eye twitched slightly. For some reason, he felt that everyone was looking at him with a hint of pity.

"Impossible, you must be mistaken," Ron said, trying to appear calm. "Perhaps Scabbers has some special bloodline, which is why she can live longer."

There are so many rats in the world, what makes you so sure it's this one?

"That's right." Hermione nodded firmly. "The Ministry of Magic keeps records of Warlock who can transform into animals. Including Professor McGonagall, there have only been seven Animagus in this century."

"Heh!" Aaron chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you probably can't find Sirius Black Black's name among these seven, can you?"

"Ah, this..." Hermione was speechless for a moment.

"Looks like I was right." Aaron shrugged. "Whether or not Animagus is registered is not decided by the Ministry of Magic, but by the Warlock who own Animagus, such as Sirius Black Black."

There is one question that also needs to be answered: Why was Sirius Black able to sneak into the castle time and time again?

Because Dementor cannot sense animal emotions, they only care about Sirius Black Black and pay little attention to his Animagus form.

"That's what I did." Sirius Black Black Scabbers struggle to escape. "Could I kill it?"

"Not yet." Lupin shook his head. "We need to explain ourselves clearly."

"It's not too late to explain later," Black roared, reaching for Scabbers.

Scabbers seemed to sense a huge crisis as well, screaming and scratching Ron's cheeks and neck, even biting him.

However, Ron cherished his pet and did not let go of it because of its movements.

"Stop." Lupin pulled Black back with difficulty. "Not to Ron has kept it as a pet for twelve years, there are some things that even I don't quite understand."

If you kill him now, the truth will never be complete, and that's unfair to Harry.

"Alright!" Sirius Black looked at Scabbers in Ron's hand, a painful struggle flashing in his eyes. "You'd better hurry, all I want to do right now is kill someone."

"I can only say what I know; you need to explain the parts I don't know."

Squeak!

The door suddenly opened, and the group instinctively looked over.

"This place isn't really haunted, is it?" Ron said somewhat nervously.

"Absolutely impossible," Lupin said. "The Shrieking Shack has never been haunted. The screams the villagers of Hogsmeade Village heard were all made by me."

"When you transform into a wolf?" Aaron looked at him in surprise. "Isn't there Wolfsbane Potion?"

"I was bitten when I was very young, back when there was no Wolfsbane Potion."

Before the potion was released, I would turn into a terrifying monster every full moon. If Dumbledore hadn't become the headmaster, I wouldn't even have had the chance to go to school.

The Shrieking Shack, the tunnel, and the Whomping Willow " were all specially prepared for me, so that no one would touch me during my fertile period.

"Heh! It seems our old headmaster is really kind!" Aaron said sarcastically. "But we're here to find out the truth, not to listen to your stories."

"Some things need to be explained from the beginning."

"Hurry up, Sirius!" Sirius Black exclaimed impatiently.

"Because of my Werewolf identity, I would disappear a few times every month, and over time my three good friends started to notice."

Unlike others who distanced themselves from me, they learned to stay with me during my Animagus Transfiguration; those were the happiest times of my life.

"So, my dad is also Animagus?" Harry asked in surprise.

"That's right, they're unregistered too." Lupin nodded. "Werewolf are only dangerous to humans. They accompany me as animals: the Prongs is a deer, the Padfoot is a dog, and the one with the Wormtail is... a rat."

"Deer and dogs can control Werewolf, allowing us to operate at night, figure out Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, draw a Marauder's Map, and sign it with our own nicknames."

"How arrogant!" Aaron said speechlessly. "The three of you don't have to worry about Werewolf and are completely unrestrained, but what about the others?"

"I was young and didn't know any better back then," Lupin said awkwardly. "Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, otherwise I probably would never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."

Actually, I've been struggling with this idea all year. Sirius Black was able to sneak into Hogwarts, and nobody knows what method he used, but I do know it: Animagus.

However, I dared not tell Dumbledore, because it would mean that I had betrayed his trust in me when I was in school, and I have always felt guilty about it.

"Then you really deserve it, Professor Lupin." Aaron curled his lip. "How should I put it? Based on my understanding of that old bastard, no, based on my understanding of Dumbledore, if you tell the truth, he will definitely turn a blind eye, and he will even give you an extra layer of insurance."

"Aaron ..." Hermione swallowed hard. "You just called him 'old bastard,' right?"

The others stared at him in astonishment, even Scabbers forgot to struggle.

"You misheard me. I never said Dumbledore was an old bastard," Aaron said calmly. As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Everyone:...

"Our headmaster, the great Dumbledore, has a preference for Gryffindor."

However, Professor Lupin, you seem rather timid in some ways, to the point that you dare not say anything.

"Perhaps!" Lupin chuckled self-deprecatingly. "In a sense, Professor Snape was right about me; I am not worthy of Dumbledore's trust."

"What does this have to do with him?" Sirius Black asked, his tone particularly contemptuous.

"Severus Snape is the Potions Class professor and the Head of Slytherin House," Aaron said with a smile. "I can tell you don't get along with him very well, but he is the teacher I respect most."

So when I get back, I'll tell him all about your current disheveled state in a very dramatic way, so he can have a good laugh.

"You..."

"Don't move." Aaron immediately pointed his Wand at him. "You'd better behave yourself until your status as a murderer is cleared."

"Sirius Black," Lupin winked at him. "Aaron Gaius is Snape's prized student."

"So what?"

When he was in school, he was always sneaking around trying to find out what we were doing; he was hoping we'd get expelled.

"To be honest, he is like that now, but the word 'sneaky' is a bit inappropriate."

"Yes, he's openly causing us trouble now," Ron said with certainty.

"How dare you say that?" Aaron rolled his eyes. "If you guys had no problems, he wouldn't be keeping bothering you."

"Perhaps," Lupin said, "But he doesn't just hate James, he hates him more than most."

Harry was stunned for a moment, seemingly wondering why he was being targeted inexplicably in Potions Class.

Debts must be repaid, but this is just too unfair!

"But Dumbledore told me that my father saved his life."

"This..." Lupin hesitated, but looking into Harry's green eyes, he finally spoke, "That was just the conclusion, but I don't think he told you the details of what happened."

Harry, Snape, and his two companions exchanged glances, all instinctively realizing that what had happened was not a friendly thing for Snape.

"Then, Sirius Black, just to have some fun, told Snape that he could quiet the Whomping Willow by tapping the knots on its trunk."

Snape tried it out, then discovered the secret, and then he encountered me... a wild Werewolf. James, knowing this, risked his life to pull him back in time.

"It's really not unfair that you were locked up for twelve months." Aaron looked at Sirius Black. "You'd trick a classmate you don't get along with into feeding the Werewolf just to have some fun."

Should I say you're young and ignorant? Or should I say you're... ruthless?

Sirius Black:...

"I just wanted to scare him, that's all."

Forget it!

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened; otherwise, a genius Warlock and Potions master would have died young.

"Is that why Professor Snape dislikes you?" Harry suddenly realized. "He thinks you were involved in that prank?"

"That's right." Snape removed his Invisibility Cloak and appeared behind Lupin.

Snape's sudden appearance left Harry, Aaron, and Black speechless. Aaron's lips twitched, and Black took a step back in astonishment.

"No wonder that door suddenly opened." Aaron slapped his forehead. It was only because Abei didn't know better that he was able to find Snape under the Invisibility Cloak Snape.

"Expelliarmus." Snape used the Disarming Charm to knock Lupin's Wand away, then pointed the Wand at Sirius Black Black. "Revenge is so satisfying. I've got you in my hands now."

"System, is it too late for me to give up on this task now?"

"Although it's not very dangerous, it's too complicated. It's enough to make a whole mahjong table." Aaron thought to himself, feeling truly exhausted.

I have to sort out the grudges and grievances from ten or twenty years ago within five weeks of Magic Points. Too many brain cells have died. I feel inexplicably that it's not worth it.

"You can abandon the mission you have already accepted," the system replied.

That's really too...

"However, double the mission reward will be deducted. Do you want to give up?"

Before Aaron could even utter the word "okay," he was dealt a heavy blow by the doubled "penalty for breach of contract."

"Cough cough!"

We will not give up, of course we will not give up.

"I'm the kind of person who likes to see things through to the end." Aaron was on the verge of tears, but in order not to lose money, he had to continue no matter how troublesome it was.
