The Thrill of Avenging Great Wrongs, Werewolf Transformation

"Them?" Harry frowned. "Professor Snape, you mean Sirius Black also..."

"Not just him," Snape interrupted Harry, pointing his Wand at Lupin. "There's him too."

"But they are innocent, you know the truth," Harry said, somewhat annoyed, seriously suspecting that Snape was settling a personal score.

Upon hearing this, Snape seemed to have heard a funny joke, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. "Potter. Potter, I said you might not be convinced, so let's find someone else."

Miss Granger, could you please tell Potter whether they should be tied up?

If you say it's wrong, then I won't tie them up.

"I, I..." Hermione stammered, looking particularly embarrassed.

"Is it that difficult?" Ron asked, puzzled. "They certainly shouldn't be tied up."

"Idiot." Aaron rolled his eyes. "A wanted criminal who hasn't been exonerated yet, spent twelve years in Azkaban, and the first thing he thinks about after he gets out is killing people."

"I'll tell you the unpleasant truth, Sirius Black's mental state is very unstable right now. What if he casts a spell on Peter Pettigrew on his way back?"

"It can't be that bad!"

Aaron scoffed, "Think about whether your leg hurts before you say that."

Ron:...

"What about Professor Lupin?"

"He betrayed Dumbledore's trust, knowing full well that Sirius Black would use Animagus to Hogwarts, yet he failed to report it."

That alone, I think, is enough.

"Do you understand now, Potter?" Snape looked at him with a half-smile. "Actually, I should have tied you up too. Do you know how much effort Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic put into protecting you? You didn't value your own life at all!"

Harry hesitated, glancing at Lupin and Sirius Black with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"It's alright, Harry." Lupin smiled easily. "I came to Hogwarts to teach to protect you, and there are some things I've kept from Dumbledore for too long, it's time to tell him."

"I don't care," Sirius Black said. "Snape is absolutely capable of settling personal scores."

Snape ignored him. "Lupin, Peter okay with tying Peter up, right?"

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Lupin's Wand shot out a thin rope that wrapped Peter Pettigrew tightly, even gagging his mouth.

"Peter, if you dare to Transfiguration, I'll kill you."

"Very good." Snape clapped his hands in satisfaction, conjured ropes, and tied Sirius Black's hands together. He then planned to give Lupin the same treatment.

"Wait a mininute."

"You have no right to bargain."

"I know, it's because Ron needs treatment right now," Lupin said. "Setting bones is a bit difficult for me, but I can handle simpler procedures."

Snape hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hurry up."

Lupin walked up to Ron, used a simple spell to bandage his injured leg, and carefully helped him up.

"It doesn't hurt much anymore," Ron said with a smile. "Thank you, Professor."

"You'll need someone to help you. Once you get back to the castle, you should see Madam Pomfrey."

"It's time to go, Lupin," Snape reminded him.

Lupin sighed and very consciously put his hands together, allowing Snape to tie him up.

On the way back, Peter Pettigrew Peter walked in the middle of the road, with Sirius Black and Lupin standing on his left and right sides respectively to prevent him from suddenly running away.

Behind the three men, Snape's smile never stopped; Aaron was his second-in-command, escorting prisoners.

Then came Harry, Hermione, and two others. Harry and Hermione helped Ron, the injured man, and carefully made their way out.

"I bet Severus is really excited right now," Sirius Black said dismissively.

"The satisfaction of avenging a great grudge is boundless!" Snape sneered smugly. "I've always dreamed of one day bringing you all to Dumbledore's side with my own hands."

James is dead, I didn't have a chance, but the three of you are still alive, and we'll take you all down in one fell swoop.

Tsk tsk tsk! Murderer, Werewolf, traitor...

I have to say, it's incredibly fulfilling. Jian Qi is karma.

"A petty person who has achieved success," Sirius Black said unhappily. Then, he suddenly realized something and said nervously, "Harry, I don't know if I should tell you... I am your teacher."

In other words, I am one of your guardians.

After handing over Peter Pettigrew, I was free.

Of course, I can understand if you still want to live with your aunt, but if you want a different kind of home...

"What? You want me to live with you?" Harry asked excitedly, feeling as if he had been hit by a giant pie.

He seems to have escaped Vernon family, away from his aunt and uncle who constantly scolded him and made him do chores, and from his cousin Dudley who bullied him whenever he was free.

"Okay! I don't think you'd be willing," Sirius Black said somewhat hopelessly.

After all, he had not fulfilled his duties as a godfather for the past twelve years, and he had served time in Azkaban, though he was wrongly convicted, his reputation was still not good.

"No, I'd love to," Harry stammered. "Of course I'd love to leave the Dursley family. Do you have a house? When can we move in?"

"You're willing?" Sirius Black asked incredulously. "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Aaron couldn't help but interject. "Mr. Black may not know that his aunt and uncle are quite averse to magic. You could say that apart from his time at Hogwarts, Harry hasn't had a good few days since his parents died."

"What? How dare they?" Sirius Black was furious, then said in a hoarse voice full of guilt, "I'm sorry, Harry."

I'm very sorry, I don't know anything about it.

"You know that's no big deal, you were stuck in Azkaban back then!"

"Yes!" Sirius Black nodded bitterly. "Harry, I promise that once I'm cleared of my name, I'll give you a different home. I can't guarantee it will be absolutely happy, but it will be absolutely free."

"Lupin, why didn't you do anything? Harry is James and Lily's son..."

"I don't know either," Lupin said dejectedly. "Besides, I'm Werewolf. Do you think I should have approached Harry before he became Warlock?"

What if something unexpected happens? A child can't handle Werewolf.

The two exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then turned their hateful gazes toward Peter Pettigrew Peter.

It's all that traitor's fault; he's the one who caused this series of tragedies.

Peter Pettigrew Peter realized this and felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly worried that he would be killed by them before he could be tried.

"Don't worry, we won't kill you," Sirius Black said with a mocking laugh. "But you'd better escape from Azkaban and give me a chance to kill you myself."

Peter Pettigrew Peter forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, trying to say that he would never escape, but with his mouth gagged, he couldn't say anything and could only keep shaking his head.

"Coward."

When they climbed out of the tree hole, it was completely dark, but they could see the faint light shining from the castle in the distance.

Snape pointed his Wand at Sirius Black, saying, "You're coming with me to see Dumbledore. He'll be very surprised."

"Aaron, take Ron and the others to the School Hospital. If all goes well Dumbledore will come to talk to you later."

"Professor Snape," Harry said hesitantly, "Can I come with you?"

"No." Snape refused decisively. "You want to plead for Lupin, is that it?"

You should think about what you're going to do first. You, Weasley, and Granger are all on the verge of dropping out of school.

"What about Aaron?" Ron asked, unconvinced.

"Gaius was implicated because of you, Slytherin lose ten points," Snape said matter-of-factly. "But we'll be on holiday soon, so detention won't be in effect."

"This is not true."

"Shut up, Weasley."

You've been raising a murderer for twelve years; if you really look into it, do you think you'll get away with it?

Ron's eye twitched slightly, and he silently shut his mouth.

Just then, a cloud in the sky slowly moved away, and a full moon illuminated the night sky, its light shining on everyone's face.

Lupin's body stiffened, then his limbs began to tremble violently, and the rope in his hands gradually swelled up.

"Oh dear!" Aaron said, somewhat speechless. "It seems our Professor Lupin didn't take the Wolfsbane Potion tonight."

"Run, run! It's not safe here!" Sirius Black cried out urgently.

"He can't run." Aaron pointed meaningfully to Ron's injured leg. "Thanks to someone, we have a seriously injured member in our team."

Sirius Black:...

Okay! This is definitely my own fault.

"Or, how about we leave him here for the bloodthirsty Werewolf to feast on, and then we can take the opportunity to leave?"

Ron paused for a moment, then looked at Aaron with a look of astonishment.

Are you serious about what you said?

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously!" Aaron patted his injured leg. "How about this, leave Peter Pettigrew Peter here? Let him attract the Werewolf ' attention."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Peter Pettigrew.

Hermione and Ron were both conflicted. It wasn't that they couldn't do it; exchanging a shameful and damned traitor for their safety would definitely be a great deal. But psychologically, they felt a bit uneasy.

Sirius Black was somewhat tempted. Wouldn't it be more exciting to let Lupin kill Peter than to hand Peter over to the Dementor?

Snape seemed indifferent. He disliked Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew, and he was happy to watch them kill each other.

Peter Pettigrew immediately struggled, making whimpering sounds, and the man in his thirties was so frightened that he started to cry.

"He can't die, he's a key witness," Harry said.

"Peter Pettigrew can't die, so someone else has to die instead," Aaron said meaningfully, then looked at Snape, "Right, Professor Snape?"

"Of course." Snape sneered, drawing his Wand and pointing it at Lupin, who was about to Werewolf. "I've wanted to do this for a long time. Defense Against the Dark Arts: How to kill Werewolf."
