Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

86. Chapter 86 Lupin's memories

    Lupin pushed the secret passage door aside and splashed a lot of dust.

    He quickly climbed out of the secret passage into a house, a disorderly messy, dusty house. The wallpaper has fallen off the wall, the floor is full of stains, and one piece of furniture is broken. It seems that people are broken, and the windows are nailed with wooden boards.

    Here is The Shrieking Shack, Lupin and his friends have been here many times, since Black invades the castle, it is very likely to hide here.

    Lupin sniffed the familiar taste of the surrounding air. He crossed the wand across his chest, carefully passing through the dark aisle and climbing the stairway that was about to collapse.

    Like the first floor, everything on the second floor is covered with a thick layer of dust.

    But this is not the case on the floor, there is anything recently passed by here, is a claw trail of the canine left behind.

    Lupin glanced down and he was too familiar with the footprint, which was a trace of the left behind of Sirius Black Animagus. Black must have been here recently, and he is now likely to remain hidden in this house.

    Lupin tightened the wand in his hand and cautiously looked at the door that was confined at the end of the corridor. Black may be hiding behind this door and ready to throw it out. Although the other party does not have wand, Lupin still does not dare to care.

    He slowly approached, trying not to make a little sound, the whole body magic power darkly converged, condensed without hair, and the wand tip emitted a weak fluorescence.

    "Come out, Sirius, I know you are inside!"Lupin stood outside the door and shouted, his voice echoing in the empty room.

    Nothing happened, and the silence in the door was dead.

    Lupin squinted, and the next second, his wand quickly gave off a thick red light and slammed the door.

    In the room, there is only one luxurious four-poster bed, and the curtains around the bed are all dusty. None of the above people, only he stood alone at the door and gasped.

    Lupin slammed down wand, Black wasn't here, maybe he was there, but after knowing that he saw him tonight, he hid somewhere else.

    "Despicable coward!"Lupin whispered in a whisper.

    Black's performance is not consistent with his impression of Sirius. He is not a man who will run away. In his school days, he was the bravest of them, but when he fell to the side of the Voldemort robe, the old days I am afraid that the courage has disappeared.

    The current Black is no longer a heroic Gryffindor, more like a sinister Slytherin, or he is.

    Lupin stood for a minute at the door of the room, and there was an unspeakable fall on his face.

    He sighed deeply and turned to leave. But he stopped right away, and he saw that anything was left in the bed, a photo.

    Lupin walked over and picked up the photo.

    There are four boys in the photo, from left to right, the students of the school age, James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew.

    The four people in the photo laughed so happy, they all laughed and greeted Lupin.

    Lupin suddenly felt a bit sad, and he remembered that this photo was taken on the lawn in front of the castle gate when they graduated, one for each person, to be remembered.

    When he had collected photos for Harry in the previous year, Hagrid was sent out; James was lost in the ruins that night on the day he was attacked, and Peter should be smashed with Black by himself.

    The only one who has this photo is Black.

    Probably when he stayed at The Shrieking Shack before, he accidentally left it here. I didn't expect Black to keep the photo. Lupin thought he had already lost it with his friendship.

    Looking at this yellowed photo, Lupin's thoughts returned to the era when they graduated, the darkest era of the magic circle.

    At that time, the dark wizards within the magic circle, led by Voldemort, violently resorted to violence, spreading horror everywhere, killing lineage impure wizards and muggles in the name of "music", and even launched a reversal of magic circle pattern. The wizard war.

    In that long-running war, Lupin witnessed the death of many people, including his former elders, classmates, and many good people.

    The year they graduated was three years before the end of the war. They couldn't wait to join the Order of the Phoenix and stand against the first line of Voldemort.

    Although Voldemort and his Death Eater have more power than the Order of the Phoenix at the time.

    But relying on the close cooperation of four people, they have repeatedly stopped Voldemort's conspiracy and escaped from his hands.

    Lupin thought it would last until it beat Voldemort.

    But in the last year of the war, everything changed. Dumbledore got the news ahead of time, and for some reason, Voldemort was chasing James and Lily's son, Harry. James had intended to fight in front, but for Harry's sake, they finally followed Dumbledore's advice to hide and protect themselves with a loyal loyalty.

    In addition to Dumbledore, himself and Peter Pettigrew are the only two people who know who James is. James chose Sirius Black, who used to think that Black was his closest friend and the strongest among several people.

    Lupin also used to be naive to think that this is the best choice.

    But he is wrong, they are all wrong!

    Less than a week after Black became a James and Lily secret, he sold them to Voldemort. Voldemort broke into their house that night, he killed them, but didn't know why he failed at Harry!

    After knowing this news, Lupin remembered his reaction at the time. He went crazy to find Black. He needs to ask the other side to understand the truth. There must be a problem, why James and Lily will die, why the loyalty spell will fail.

    Until that time, he did not believe that Black would sell them to Voldemort.

    After two days, Lupin found Black.

    But he was a step late and Peter Pettigrew found each other before himself.

    When Lupin saw Black's on that street, he was surrounded by Auror, who blasted Peter and the muggle of the entire street into pieces a minute ago.

    Everything was clear, Black sold James and Lily to Voldemort, and in the subsequent question he killed Peter Pettigrew.

    Lupin stood helplessly on the corner of the street. He saw Black laughing wildly there, but he was crying silently in the corner. This was the only time he cried after he made a vow to cry no longer when he was a child.
