Allen felt that his guess was probably the truth.
After Professor Lupin took the wolfsbane potion, he no longer needed to go to the Shrieking Shack to hide from the full moon. Therefore, it shouldn't matter even if this place was exposed.
"I thought of a place. They might be there!" Allen said.
"Where?" Harry and Hermione asked at the same time.
"Follow me." Allen couldn't help but glance at Professor Lupin before leading the way decisively.
This glance confused Lupin. However, everyone was already following behind Allen eagerly, so he didn't say anything and followed quickly.
Allen and the rest entered the dark Forbidden Forest very quickly.
Professor Mag used a lot of effort to suppress his urge to reprimand Allen.
"Harris, it's against the rules for you to enter the Forbidden Forest." Professor Mag pursed his lips in displeasure.
"Yes, Professor Mag. I have another reason. Just today, Sirius' murder case was reopened. He's innocent, "Allen answered in a low voice as they hurried along.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Everyone looked at Allen, and couldn't help but slow down.
"You're saying that Sirius is innocent?"
"Then, who's the murderer?"
"Who betrayed my parents?"
"You helped him."
Other than Professor Mag, who didn't say anything, Professor Lupin, Hermione, Harry, and Luna asked four questions at the same time.
Alan told the whole story of what had happened that day.
In the dark Forbidden Forest, other than the sound of the cold wind blowing through the trees, only Allen's voice echoed.
"This is unbelievable. How could Scabby be Peter the Little Dwarf?" Harry felt that what Allen said was ridiculous.
"Why not?" Allen asked calmly.
"Because … because if Peter Pettigrew is an Animagus, people will know," Hermione answered first.
Allen felt that the girl in front of him was very interesting. She liked to answer all his questions.
"We learned about Animagus in Professor Mag's class. I did some research when I was doing my homework. The Ministry of Magic has a record of all the wizards who can turn into animals. There's a register that shows what kind of animals they can turn into, and there's also a mark …"
Hermione continued. Allen noticed that a smile had appeared on Professor Mag's usually stern face.
"I found Professor McGonagall in the register. There are only seven Animagus in this century, and Peter Pettigrew's name isn't on it —"
Hermione looked at Allen. Their eyes met, and Hermione turned her head away again.
"But the Ministry of Magic doesn't know that there were three unregistered Animagus in the Hogwarts." The one who answered was not Allen, but Professor Lupin.
His voice was extremely bitter. "Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and of course, Harry, and your father — James Potter? Potter. "
"My father too?" Harry was very surprised.
"Yes," Lupin said. "The Blake family has a way to increase the chances of turning into an Animagus."
Allen's expression became serious. Now, the Blake family's collection, except for the gold coins, was all in his hands!
"Even so, it took them almost three years to learn. Your father and Sirius were the smartest students in the school. Fortunately, because Animagus transformation can make terrible mistakes — "
Harry listened very carefully. He liked to listen to the stories of his parents.
"This is one of the reasons why the Ministry of Magic has strict control over Animagus. Peter needed the full help of James and Sirius. In the end, in the fifth grade, they finally mastered it. Everyone can turn into a different animal at will. "
"And Pettigrew's Animagus is a mouse."
Professor Lupin's expression was complicated. If it wasn't for the easier time for him to become a werewolf, James and the others would never have thought of learning Animagus in advance.
"Everyone thought that Sirius killed Peter." Lupin hit his head in self-reproach. "I actually believed —"
The conversation didn't continue because they had arrived at the Whacking Willow.
Lupin understood immediately. "They're here?"
Allen nodded.
"This Whacking Willow is really good looking. It looks much livelier than when I was young!" Lupin exclaimed as he looked at the Whacking Willow that was waving its branches around.
Professor Mag looked at the precious plant in front of him suspiciously. What did this have to do with Ron and Malfoy?
Professor Lupin shot out a spell from his magic wand, and hit the Whacking Willow's scar.
The crazy Whacking Willow quieted down instantly.
Without the protection of the tightly waved branches, the hole was exposed.
The few of them followed Allen and Professor Lupin as they walked over.
The closer they got, the more they could smell a stench in the cold air — a very disgusting stench — a stinky stench.
"Is this Whacking Willow rotten?" Professor Mag covered his nose and mouth.
"Hmm?" Professor Lupin observed the entrance that was sealed by Professor Snape. "This should be Snape's doing."
Professor Lupin removed the seal on the hole, and a foul stench filled the air. Everyone couldn't help but cover their noses.
The few girls' faces looked a little green.
Allen, who had sensitive senses, had it even worse. The foul stench made his throat tighten, and he almost fainted from the suffocation.
This feeling was as if he was standing in a damp and smelly trash can.
Allen blinked and waved his magic wand. In the blink of an eye, a protective bubble appeared above his and the girls' heads.
Professor Mag looked at Allen approvingly. The Head Bubble Spell could avoid the foul stench, so it was the most suitable one to use it here.
Professor Lupin and Harry did the same, and a huge bubble appeared above their heads.
Professor Lupin and Harry walked into the hole first, and the rest followed behind.
After walking for less than a minute, Professor Lupin and Harry suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Harry could feel something sticky soaking his pants.
Harry wanted to move a few steps, but he couldn't keep his balance.
He had just taken a few steps when he heard something crunching under his feet.
"Flicker of light!" Professor Lupin's magic wand glowed.
When Allen saw the situation in the tunnel clearly, he immediately wanted to pull Luna and Hermione away from this place.
However, it was already too late. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
"Hmm, I think it's better for you all to wait outside, Professor Mag," Professor Lupin said.
Professor Mag nodded with an incredulous expression as he left with Hermione and Luna.
Allen thought for a while, and didn't continue forward. He followed them out.
