Ron huddled in the chair, trying to keep his head down and avoid Dumbledore's gaze.

"Don't kill me... I'll confess everything, please don't kill me... I know the names of many Death Eaters..."

Ron pleaded, his voice choked with sobs.

"The Imperius Curse, clearly... a very powerful Imperius Curse." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with anger.

There's a reason why the Imperius Curse is listed as one of the Three Unforgivable Curses.

It affects the soul, and in terms of its evil, it is no less potent than the other two spells.

The Imperius Curse can control a person silently and issue various commands directly into their mind.

In terms of difficulty, it is even more challenging than the other two.

Of course, the Imperius Curse also has weaknesses.

It is the only one of the Unforgivable Curses that can be forcibly broken through strong willpower.

If the caster is not skilled in the technique, others can easily notice the abnormality and stiffness of the person under the spell.

In fact, this problem isn't limited to the Imperius Curse; the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse are also similar.

A skilled wizard can easily kill someone with a single blow using Avada Kedavra. A weaker wizard might at most cause their opponent to bleed from the nose.

The same applies to the Cruciatus Curse; it cannot imbue hatred with power, and even if the incantation is recited, it cannot cause others painful torment.

Without a doubt, Peter is an expert in this field.

He cast the Imperius Curse, telling Ron what to do at every step in his mind.

It's not easy to imitate others, but controlling Ron to imitate him... Peter won't make a single mistake.

Dumbledore held his wand and chanted incantations over Ron's head for an unknown amount of time before stopping.

Ron suddenly opened his eyes wide, leaned back in his chair, and gasped for breath, like a sardine that had been thrown ashore.

"Are you awake, Ron?" Dumbledore.

"... Headmaster... Professor Dumbledore..." Ron wailed loudly.

He wept bitterly, his whole body trembling.

"It was Scabbers... he's a wizard... he suddenly attacked me..."

"When did this happen?" Dumbledore asked.

"Before Christmas... Scabbers suddenly turned into a wizard. He took my old wand and turned me into a... groundhog... and then back into my likeness."

Ron was trembling all over, as if he were having a nightmare.

He suddenly said angrily:

"Harry! I bit him... I crawled into his pants at night... and bit him."

"I've tried various methods to remind him many times... I even bit him until he bled, but he still didn't notice anything was wrong." Ron cried, feeling aggrieved.

Harry even threw me in the trash can and covered it with the lid.

Another time, it was tied with a rope and hung outside the window... a castle dozens of meters high!

Several times, I heard him ask Fred for rat poison...

Ron suddenly broke down, sobbing incoherently, demanding to see his parents.

"It will be alright, everything will be alright," Dumbledore comforted her. "Minerva, I need you to take Mr. Weasley to the Hospital Wing."

I think Madam Pomfrey will concoct Potions for Ron so he can get a good night's sleep.

Professor McGonagall, her hands trembling, led poor Ron away.

"Grab Black now!" Fudge, who had been standing there dumbfounded for a while, shouted.

Kingsley and Dawlish hesitated.

"Cornelius, I think you heard what Ron just said?" Dumbledore said seriously.

Peter attacked Ron and transformed into his likeness. He also turned Ron into a groundhog and kept him around as a cover.

They then gave him Polyjuice Potion, luring him into a trap to die as a substitute...

Minister Fudge suddenly flew into a rage.

"There is no Peter at all! Albus, this is a self-directed and self-acted play."

He paced back and forth in the room.

"I saw through it all. Black seized the child, turned him into Peter, and cast the Imperius Curse."

Merlin, Imperius Curse!

During the Wizarding Wars, many people were controlled by the Imperius Curse and then went to work at the Ministry of Magic as usual without being noticed.

Black actually used this on a child... just to frame the already dead Peter for the crime.

The whole "change of Secret Keeper," "Peter still alive" thing... the performance was so convincing, we were all fooled.

I'm telling you, Albus, it's all fake. This is the truth!

"Then how do you explain the Polyjuice Potion?" Hermione couldn't help but retort.

"Ron couldn't look like Peter without Peter's hair, which means Peter is still alive."

Fudge started to stutter; his grades were bad, and he had long forgotten everything he had learned before.

He honestly didn't know if there were any other Transfiguration besides Polyjuice Potion.

Fudge pulled Dawlish aside, and the two whispered among themselves in a corner.

A moment later, he said smugly, "Miss Granger, I know about Human Transfiguration; it can turn one person into another."

This requires a high level of Transfiguration, and Black, being Animagus, happens to be an expert in Transfiguration.

That's exactly what he did!

Dumbledore somewhat disappointed; he had seen through Fudge. If he couldn't win over Peter, he couldn't possibly convince Fudge.

He suddenly turned and asked, "William, Harry, and Peter turned into Ron?!"

"Hermione and I just checked, Peter probably already run away," William said.

"On the way, I ran into Professor Lupin, and I asked him to take Harry back to the Gryffindor Common Room."

"Hmm, very thoughtful." Dumbledore sigh of relief.

Ah~ Awooooo!

Suddenly, a distinctive wolf howl came from afar.

William's expression changed, and he glanced out the window. A full moon peeked completely out from behind the thick clouds.

Snape's expression changed drastically, and he asked in surprise, "Did Lupin forget to take his medicine tonight?"

Oh no, Harry's still with Lupin!

William quickly opened the Hogwarts Map.

Strangely, Professor Lupin's location was neither in the Gryffindor Common Room nor in the castle.

Instead, it appeared near the Whomping Willow!

As for Harry... his name has completely disappeared from the map!

Harry was... killed by Lupin in his Werewolf form?!

Not far from the Whomping Willow,

Hagrid roared, staring at the scene before him.

A huge gray wolf was tearing at itself. Beside it lay blood, a ripped robe, and a shoe.

"Harry!!"

Hagrid felt dizzy; his arms, gripping the bow and arrow, trembled violently, and large tears splattered on him.

"This can't be real!"

Hagrid recognized them immediately; they were Harry's shoes and clothes.

And that pool of blood on the ground...

So Harry himself... has already been eaten by wolves!

Professor Lupin, now a wolf, had completely lost his mind. He stared coldly at Hagrid and rushed towards him.

"Ah!" Hagrid roared. "Spit Harry out right now!"

The silver arrow was stuck in the ground. He clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, ready to beat the wolf to death.

The gray wolf started running, covering the distance of several dozen steps in an instant.

Hagrid reached out, twisted his hands, and grabbed the massive wolf claw.

He made a swift, sweeping motion and then suddenly rammed into the gray wolf that was pouncing down, sending it flying and creating a large crater upon landing.

Lupin was struck hard, his head swaying, and he was seriously injured.

Hagrid's eyes were icy cold. He didn't give the gray wolf any time to come to its senses. He strode forward, his five claws reaching out to grab the gray wolf's head.

Hagrid swung forward, then thrust his wrist diagonally upward with tremendous force, sending the gray wolf flying backward.

Hagrid exerted force with his five fingers and lifted Lupin's body into the air.

A light shone in the night sky, and a spell shot out without warning, striking Hagrid in the eye.

Hagrid released Lupin, stepped back, and covered his aching eyes.

"Who is it?! Show yourself!"

The full moon hangs in the sky.

A gentle breeze blew by.

But no one answered him.
