Chapter 125 The Raiders Animagus
Chapter 126 The Raiders Animagus
When Lu Ping saw the giant blue-scaled python, his heart was pounding with anxiety.
The fact that students at Lions College keep snakes is truly a strange phenomenon, something that has remained a mystery for centuries.
Ron sat there dumbfounded for a while, then said strangely, "I must have seen correctly, right?"
"Did he open his eyes?"
Hermione, seeing Lupin's steady breathing as if he were fast asleep, hesitated and said, "Perhaps...it should be...it might be a quirk?"
Harry didn't respond. The joy on his face had vanished, replaced by wide, fierce eyes.
Hermione, being the quick-witted one, immediately asked, "Harry? Is something wrong?"
Harry's gaze was like a knife, aimed straight at Lupin, and he pulled out the viewing mirror given to him by Ron from his pocket and threw it away.
But then the mirror suddenly emitted a brilliant light, spinning like a top, just like a warning bell and a bright light to awaken the world.
"The moment this fellow opened his eyes to peer inside, the spyglass spun like a spinning wheel."
Listen carefully: Ron said that the mirror might be malfunctioning, so why did Harry believe it so readily?
It turns out that after Harry took the spyglass back to his room at the Leaky Cauldron that day, it fell silent.
The fact that it could remain silent at times showed that the stubborn iron had not malfunctioned. The fact that it kept ringing in Ron's hands was perhaps because the journey was filled with all sorts of people, including many cunning individuals; the bar was an even more diverse place, with all sorts of unfamiliar faces around, so it was possible that it was warning someone else.
Seeing this, Ron and Hermione both drew their wands and became alert. Just then, a sudden downpour began outside, the rain pattering against the car windows, and a damp, musty atmosphere filled the carriage.
"What do we do now?" Ron whispered. "Could we let Miss Nagini take a bite? I remember she said she was poisonous."
Harry drew his knife sharply and hissed, "I'll give him a try!"
Just as he was about to step forward to stab, Lu Ping heard the sound of the dagger being drawn from its sheath, quickly opened his eyes, and raised his hands.
"Harry, please relax, I mean no harm."
"I was just a little surprised to see the snake on your shoulder."
"After all, very few Gryffindor students would want to keep a snake as a pet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mirror stopped spinning and the light vanished.
Harry, realizing what was happening, quickly sheathed his ring knife, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said loudly, "My nephew was so worried about Sirius that he became suspicious after seeing the warning in the peephole, and offended you, Uncle. Please forgive me!"
When Lupin saw Harry perform such a grand gesture, he was so startled that he jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, but his legs were too weak to support him. He staggered a few steps before he could grab the wall of the room and hurriedly helped Harry up.
"Oh, Harry, please don't, I'm not worthy."
"Oh dear! Uncle, why do you say that! Since you and my father have sworn brotherhood, it must be a bond that transcends life and death!"
"But I wonder where Uncle ranks among those looters?"
"You even know that?" Lupin was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "We've never ranked anything."
"But if we're talking about age, I should be second..."
Before he could finish speaking, Harry clasped his hands in a fist salute again, saying, "Since that's the case, you should call me Second Uncle!"
The sound of "Second Uncle" brought tears to Lu Ping's eyes and made his heart burn like honey and oil. In a daze, he felt as if he had returned to the moonlit night of the Screaming Shack.
He quickly rubbed his eyes and laughed, "It's okay, Harry, you can call me whatever you want."
Harry was overjoyed to see his uncle and nephew and immediately called his second sister to set out a table of delicious snacks.
After eating three or five chocolate frogs and drinking two glasses of pomegranate juice, Harry cupped his hands and asked:
"Today, as I reunite with my second uncle, we should have chatted about family matters. Unfortunately, those useless bastards at the Ministry of Magic let Sirius escape, ruining our enjoyment!"
"Second Uncle, do you know who Sirius Black is? How did he escape from Azkaban? Do you have any clues?"
"That way, my little nephew will have some peace of mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the viewing mirror started spinning incessantly, its light flashing continuously. Harry frowned, while Ron and Hermione gripped their wands tightly under the table.
"I assure you, Harry, I mean you no harm." Lupin frowned at the spyglass, took his wand from his pocket and handed it to Harry, saying, "My knowledge of Sirius is mostly based on our school days."
"Although everyone in the Black family is from Slytherin, Sirius Black is an exception; he is the only Gryffindor in the Black family."
Ron clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this.
"You should understand what I mean. Sirius Black perfectly fits the stereotype of Gryffindor students."
Upon hearing this, Harry shook his head and sighed, "In that case, Gryffindor may not be all heroes."
"No one can guarantee the purity of the house; the Sorting Hat only considers the students' character." He said somberly, "Even four Raiders are not acceptable..."
He sighed for a moment, then said, "As for how he escaped from Azkaban... perhaps it was because he was an unregistered, illegal Animagus."
"Dementors cannot sense animals."
Harry exclaimed in surprise, "Does this scoundrel also know that magic that allows him to transform from a human into a demon?"
"That's right, his Animagus is a black dog."
Before he could finish speaking, Harry slammed his hand on the table and stood up, startling the Chocolate Frog into scattering in all directions.
"That beast was the size of a calf, and its paws were even larger than those of a normal dog?!"
Lupin heard every word match perfectly and gasped in horror, "You've seen him?"
Harry laughed in fury, his steel teeth whirring and sparks flying. "That thief escaped from prison the very night I stumbled upon him on Privet Drive!"
"I only regret that I treated him like a stray dog back then, never expecting him to have changed so much. If I had known, I should have chopped that dog's head off on the spot!"
Harry's murderous aura surged almost tangibly, causing even Lupin, who had been a member of the Order of the Phoenix and captured Death Eaters, to feel a chill run down his spine.
Harry is only a teenager, why would he have such murderous intent?
I've seen at least dozens of Death Eaters, but even all of them combined don't give me the same sense of danger as Harry.
The murderous aura was terrifying, but Hermione knew it wasn't coming for her. Remembering Lupin's words, she exclaimed in surprise:
"There were only seven registered Animagus in the 20th century. Is his magical talent really that high?"
"Oh, Miss Granger, there are many wizards who know about Animagus, but no one wants to say it."
"This is magic that can save your life in a dangerous situation."
"Like James and Peter, they are actually Animagus as well."
Upon hearing this, Hermione forgot about the whirling mirror on the table, and Ron, ignoring the trembling body in his arms, were both stunned for a moment.
A small group of four people has three Animagus?
Just how honest are those seven who have already registered?
Harry exclaimed in astonishment, "My dad and Uncle Peter are also proficient in this art?"
"Of course, they studied for a long time back then." Lupin's eyes showed reminiscence as he sighed, "Jaime was a stag, and we gave him the nickname 'Pitchfork'."
"As for Peter..."
Before he could finish speaking, all the lights in the carriage went out, plunging it into complete darkness. A howling wind swept in from outside, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
