Chapter 181: Deer and Wolf

Sirius Black and Peter Perdiro, two Azkaban’s fugitives, were easily knocked down by Gellert Grindelwald's minions and then arrested.
There is no doubt that Mr. Pringle and Professor Keitelborn have accomplished their tasks brilliantly.
The development of the matter seemed a bit unexpected.
Obviously, for this large-scale "rebellion", Grindelwald has long been prepared and well laid out.
In addition, he may even be trying to use this "rebellion" to achieve some of his goals...
...
At the same time, in the basement of the castle
A figure that looks sneaky, walking quickly across the corridor... He didn't care about the house elves who were rebelling not far away...
His speed was so fast that he didn't stop until a stone door painted with a big green snake...This stone door was the entrance to the Slytherin common room.
And that sneaky figure also showed his true colors:
The Auror who calls himself "Dawlish"!
He gently touched the head of the snake on the stone gate, and then said:
"Pandora's Box!"
The giant snake on the stone gate began to squirm slowly, and as she moved, the stone gate was also opened.
There is no doubt that the Auror "Dris" gave the correct password to enter the Slytherin common room.
It used to be a lively common room, but now there is no one...it’s normal. Almost the entire Slytherin students have been scared away. The lower grades have left the castle, and the middle and upper grades are now I'm trapped on the second and third floors.
Dalis is anxious, he seems to be looking for something here.
only--
He suddenly froze.
Because he suddenly discovered that not far from him, a wizard was sitting in an armchair by the fireplace in the common room.
He just seemed to have used the Illusion Charm on himself, so "Derishi" did not find him for the first time... and now, he has revealed the prototype, and drew out the wand, and aimed at "Derishi."
The wizard who suddenly appeared was Professor Severus Snape, Hogwarts' transformation teacher.
...
"Mr. Dawlish, can you explain it?" Professor "Severus Snape" asked calmly, "I think at this time, you should be with your Auror companions and those dementors Together, it's right in Aberdeen!"
His wand was stubbornly aimed at the chest of "Derishi", and he did not relax his guard at all.
"Yes, it's like this..." "Dlex" also seemed to be in a calm mood, "but I realized that something was not quite right, so I returned to Hogwarts ahead of time!"
"So..." Professor "Severus Snape" "suddenly realized", he smiled, "Then I have another question, why are you here? This is the Slytherin common room. If I remember correctly, you should have graduated from Ravenclaw College..."
"Because the entire castle has been occupied by those dark wizards," "Dawlish" continued to explain, "I must first find a slightly safer place and wait for Grindelwald to return..."
"It sounds like a very good reason," "Severus Snape" commented. "But under normal circumstances, we don't call Master Grindelwald directly..."
"Dalis"'s face changed slightly.
Obviously, he knew that he had been thoroughly seen through... even the other party had come prepared and had been waiting here long ago.
While looking around and thinking about ways to get away, he continued to deal with "Severus Snape"...
"What are you looking for?" Professor "Snape" asked coldly.
"I don't understand..." "Dawlish" looked very dazed.
"I'm asking..." Professor "Snape" shouted sharply, "You members of the Order of the Phoenix, you occupy the castle, what do you want to find here?"
At this moment, Dawlish finally knew... Their plan seemed to be completely bankrupt, Gellert Grindelwald, looked farther than them...
He also became a little relaxed.
"Undoubtedly, I won't answer your question; I think you should be very clear..." He spread his hands and asked tentatively, "Remus?"
This time, it was the turn of Professor "Snape" that his face changed suddenly.
"It seems that my identity has also been seen through by you..." He said quietly: "Jaime!"
...
The two people who had exposed each other's identities stood face to face like this.
"Originally, I couldn't be sure," James Potter's expression looked very sad:
"I have never been sure, who the one who betrayed us fifteen years ago was... I doubt it was Severus Snape, but I know this Snape at Hogwarts will not be real. Of... I even doubted Sirius and Peter; it’s just that I didn’t expect it to be you, Remus. I thought we were best friends..."
"Yes, it is indeed me," Remus Lupin nodded, his face unchanged.
"Too much evidence is in front of me, I have never wanted to believe it," James looked very excited:
"Every time the full moon comes, it disappears from the Hogwarts campus for various reasons... Remus, my friend, you still haven't changed at all... After all, you are A werewolf!"
"It's like this..." Lupin nodded, "But fortunately, in the past year, when I had to disappear from Hogwarts several times, a small accident also occurred around me... This provides me with a natural excuse, but does not arouse any suspicion..."
If Matthew were here, he would suddenly realize why he would meet Professor Severus Snape at the St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries.
And why did Professor "Severus Snape" appear so flustered when he was discovered by himself!
Because when he saw "Snape", the department over there was the Department of Biological Injury; Professor "Snape"'s true identity was a werewolf, and the reason why he appeared there was to find Saint Mungo. The therapist, prescribe some drugs that can relieve the pain when the werewolf transforms...
Remus Lupin still did not put down his wand.
He continued: "I'm sorry for that fifteen years ago... but no matter how many more choices I make, my choice will not change..."
"Can you tell me why?" James continued to ask sadly, "I doubted everyone... but from beginning to end, I couldn't figure out the reason why you betrayed us, Remus?"
Lupin seemed silent for a moment...
After a brief silence, he finally spoke:
"Because Lord Grindelwald!"
"You don't want to betray Grindelwald?" James smiled sarcastically.
"Yes..." Lupin nodded, "For you, Grindelwald... Whether it's you, Peter, Sirius...or Severus and Lily, they are nothing more than ordinary The principal of Tong is just..."
"... To be more precise, it is a principal in disguise... I believe what Hogwarts tells us is true!" Lupin added, "I know you are righteous, James... Whether it is Hogwarts' choice, or just a choice, we should all oppose what he did..."
"...But I'm different..." Remus Lupin's expression suddenly looked painful:
"...Master Grindelwald almost means a new life to me..."
James Potter sneered, but there was no sarcasm in it.
Lupin still did not put down the magic wand in his hand: "You don't know what I have experienced..."
For James Potter and the others, Lupin is a friend, a playmate, and a little furry (a werewolf)... They lived together in a dormitory for nearly seven years, but Remus Lupin never mentioned his childhood experience.
"When I was four years old, my father offended the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, and out of revenge, the werewolf broke into the bedroom through the window and bit me. Since then, I have become a werewolf... my parents Tried various ways to save me, but to no avail. They all thought I could not go to Hogwarts school because other parents would not want their children to approach a werewolf..."
"...Until Lord Grindelwald knew about it...My father wrote and told him that I was a werewolf..." Lupin continued, "We didn't have any hope, because my father even Not a supporter of Lord Grindelwald..."
"...But the lord of Grindelwald, he found me soon... he told me that I am a real wizard, even if there is a little problem with my body, I am still a wizard, not a werewolf... He said that Hogwarts welcomes me to school. As long as a little arrangement is made, it will not cause any problems..."
"...Then, as you know, every full moon, I will go to the screaming hut in Hogsmeade through the secret path and transform there, this is to protect the safety of other classmates and myself. When the villagers heard the noise and screaming, they thought it was the sound of a ferocious ghost. Master Greenward encouraged people to spread such rumors so that people would stay away from the screaming shed..."
"... But this matter was eventually discovered by you; you, Peter and Sirius did not start to dislike me just because I was a werewolf, but accompany me by learning to become Animagus... Honestly Say, I am very happy..."
"...At the same time, I have always been very guilty, because one day of every month, I take three friends with me to seriously violate the school rules. This has failed Master Grindelwald's trust in me... I have been comforting myself with these things. These are just small things, and Grindelwald will definitely not care about them too much..."
"...Until the day fifteen years ago, Peter discovered the secret of the principal's office; then, you secretly contacted the Order of the Phoenix, and began secretly discussing plans to overthrow Lord Grindelwald..."
"...To be honest, James; my heart was like a knife at that time because I knew very well that I could not betray Lord Grindelwald... Never betray him... As a werewolf, I should have been lonely and discriminated I spent my life in the middle, but Master Grindelwald gave me a second life..."
"...It was a very difficult choice, but I finally chose to do that... I chose to secretly tell Master Grindelwald the news..."
Remus Lupin said very sincerely.
His voice was also full of apologies.
...
"It's a difficult choice, Remus," James's voice was now a little more ironic:
"Do you know how we spent these years? Do you know what kind of hellish life is like in Azkaban? Isn't it pleasant to betray a friend?"
"Sorry, James..." Lupin said softly, "I know, you will definitely not accept my apologies..."
"Then you chose to return to Hogwarts?" James Potter sneered. "After we escaped from Hogwarts, you returned this time again, pretending to be'Severus Snee Pu's identity is to arrest us and ask your master for credit?"
"No..." Lupin shook his head, and then nodded again, "I heard the news of your escape from prison. It is indeed my request to return to Hogwarts... Hogwarts does need a transformation class. teacher……"
"...But James, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, I am definitely not here to arrest you, I just want to persuade you to give up, persuade you to leave Hogwarts..."
James shook his head disdainfully: "I thought you would understand me, Lupin... Do you think I would act like such a coward?"
"This is not the act of a coward, but an impossible task..." Lupin said sincerely, "With your little strength, it will definitely not be the opponent of Lord Grindelwald. Any resistance of you is actually It was in vain... In that case, give up, James..."
"... Now turn around and leave, go to a quiet place and start a free life again... I will never stop you, I will help you escape Hogwarts..."
James Potter seemed to be lost in thought.
He looked very hesitant, and then said softly, "I agree with your suggestion, Lupin... Give me ten minutes, let me stay in the Slytherin common room for ten minutes... After ten minutes, I will leave directly. , And never return to Hogwarts..."
"It's still for that thing, isn't it?" Lupin said sadly. "Give up, James...please..."
"It seems that our negotiations have broken down, Lupin..." James Potter's expression suddenly became resolute in an instant.
His body began to change rapidly, and a huge stag suddenly appeared out of thin air, replacing the previous wizard.
The stag began to move quickly to the side away from Lupin, and it began to look for shelter.
"Faint!" Remus Lupin shouted loudly.
With a strong red light, the battle began!
