Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 81 Animagus and Werewolf

Many people in Gryffindor don't understand Wood's choice.

Oliver Wood has reached the end of his student career. If he fails to win the Quidditch Cup this year, it will eventually become a regret in his life.

In fact, Arya Spinnet is quite popular in Gryffindor. Her fifth-year strength and attractive appearance are enough to attract a large number of fans for herself.

But Wood chose a sophomore to take her place, which naturally caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

But there was more than one incident that made them annoying. Sir Cadogan, who guarded the common room door in place of the Fat Lady, would always come up with weird passwords to make things difficult for Gryffindor students. What was even more uncomfortable was having to change three passwords a day, which made Denawi suffer a lot.

"He's not a good portrait," Ron muttered to Harry as he entered the common room door.

In the past few days, Harry's personal freedom has been closely monitored. The teachers believe that Black came to Hogwarts just for Harry, although even he himself did not know what this was.

Louis also went to the Shrieking Shack a few days after that incident, but apart from the dust in the house and the creaking wooden windows blown by the wind, he didn't seem to see anyone there. A living creature.

This made Louis feel a little strange. According to the original plot, Sirius should be hiding here. Could it be that he had alerted the snake before and made Sirius change the venue?

It is possible that although Lupine also knows this place, due to his friendship, he will not report him before he has met Sirius.

Lewis reluctantly crawled out from under the Whomping Willow. Now that Sirius had disappeared without a trace, the most likely place was in the school's Forbidden Forest. However, he was not in the mood to search for a big black dog in the Forbidden Forest.

After going around and around, we almost returned to the starting point. Except for Peter Pettigrew who was very frightened, the whole plan made no progress at all. Even trying to say a few words to Sirius might have become a delusion.

The only reliable clue now is Peter Pettigrew and Hermione's cat Crookshanks.

Ron used the rat tonic on Peter, and although it didn't look like the situation was getting better, at least the Louis mark magic was working. It seems that its existence can only be sensed within a radius of 500 meters.

But he understood that while Peter was afraid of Sirius, he was also looking for him, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him. Because only two people knew the true situation at that time. If Sirius died, the biggest beneficiary would be Peter.

As for Crookshanks, this is an overly intelligent cat. Louis even suspected that it was also an Animagus in human form, just like Professor McGonagall.

Therefore, it has been in contact with Blake and must know where he is hiding.

As soon as Louis returned to the castle, he met Harry and Ron coming out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Bad news, Louis." Ron said with a straight face, "Professor Lupine is ill, and Snape will take his place in our class."

"He must have done it." Harry said with a hint of anger in his tone, "Do you remember the bottle of potion we saw before? I knew that Snape wanted to kill Lupin."

Lupine is sick? This is probably Snape's way of saying it. Counting the time, it is almost the full moon. It seems that Lupine will not appear in everyone's sight for a while.

Regarding Lupine's werewolf problem, Lewis also had to find a solution quickly.

"Do you know what Snape is telling us?" Ron was still chattering, "It's about werewolves, Louis. This is something that will only be taught in the second half of the semester."

"He has been questioning Professor Lupine's teaching. He just doesn't like Lupine!"

Louis heard what they said. The love and hatred between Snape and Lupine had already accumulated a lot during their student days, although the two were now on the same front.

"By the way, where's Hermione?"

"Snape assigned a paper after class, discussing how to identify and kill werewolves. Hermione went to the library as soon as get out of class was over." Ron spread his hands. It seemed that no one except Hermione would be interested in this long paper. .

However, in this case, Snape's wish would be fulfilled, and everyone agreed that Lupine would be a good teacher and not a werewolf.

But, Hermione. .

Louis quickly said goodbye to Harry and the other two, and rushed to the library of Hogwarts. The two of them felt a little strange that he was leaving in such a hurry.

In the library, Hermione was holding two books. She seemed to be looking for the difference between animagus and werewolf.

"Werewolves will transform during the full moon. They are more like a curse, forced to transform and lose their minds, but Animagus is different..."

"Animagus is a very profound magic spell. A wizard can transform into a certain animal through self-help."

"But Animagus is too dangerous, and learning Animagus requires registration with the Ministry of Magic."

"There are many ways to identify werewolves, including the length of the middle finger, what you are afraid of, full moon transformation, etc."

Suddenly, Hermione seemed to have discovered something, her expression looked horrified, and at this moment, Louis rushed to her.

Looking at Hermione's expression, Louis sighed, finally letting her know the truth.

"Werewolves are not necessarily the embodiment of evil. Some werewolves are just ordinary poor people, and they did not become like this voluntarily."

"Whether a person is kind or not depends on his heart. It does not mean that we should reject him because he is a werewolf."

After listening to Louis' words, Hermione couldn't calm down for a long time. After a long time, she held back a few words:

"It seems you knew all along, Louis."

"I know, but I believe him." Louis nodded. He always believed that Lupine was harmless. Even if he lost his mind after turning into a werewolf, it was not his own wish.

"If you believe him, then I believe you, Louis." After a while, Hermione was able to answer, but the shock in her heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Louis smiled. This had become a little secret between him and Hermione. If the werewolf news was exposed to the public, it would be enough to make Lupine lose his job, and even Dumbledore might lose his position.

"Then how much do you know about Animagus?" Hermione asked, she seemed to feel that Louis' talent was no longer inferior to hers.

"I don't know much about it, Hermione." Louis scratched his head, "This seems to be the content of your third grade."

But what Hermione said next made Louis' heart rise to his throat.

"Do you think it's possible that Sirius Black is an Animagus?"
