Leaving aside the misunderstanding on Harry's side, Lupin returned to school after two days of training in the Shrieking Shack.
After two days of thinking, Lupin felt that the content of the note still had credibility, but Sirius Black, as a lunatic who blew up an entire street in public, made some unreasonable things. Things are not impossible.
Among the Death Eaters, there are not a few guys who only want to destroy.
Therefore, Lupin also made a decision in his heart.
First find out if Ron Weasley ever had a rat pet, and then take advantage of the Easter holiday to go out to investigate, although it is likely that nothing will be investigated, but Lupin needs more evidence to convince himself, To believe what Blake wrote on that note.
And if Black is truly innocent, Lupin needs this evidence to exonerate him.
"...This is the end of today's class. Before the next class, everyone needs to complete a thesis on Elephantine, and the length must be more than fifteen inches."
While packing the teaching aids on the table, Lupin arranged homework for the students, causing a wailing from below.
As the final exams approached, even Lupin began to give them more homework.
After finishing his homework, Lupin paused, and then said, "Ron, you stay first, and the others can go."
Lupin didn't intend to ask around, but decided to ask Ron directly. Anyway, according to Sirius Black, Pettigrew Peter had escaped, so there was no need for him to hide his purpose.
However, he didn't know that his actions scared Ron.
"Did he want to bite me?"
Ron tugged at Harry's robe and asked in a trembling voice.
Before Harry could speak, Hermione rolled her eyes: "This is in the school, and so many people know that you were kept by Professor Lupin, and you were bitten by an untransformed werewolf. , and won't become a werewolf, at most it's just a slight change in life habits...for example, he likes to eat meat steaks with blood and the like."
"That won't work either!"
Although he said so, Ron was indeed relieved, but he still hoped that Harry and Hermione could stay with him.
As for Fish?
If he dares to do that, he will be beaten to death by other girls!
"Sorry, I still have to get to Muggle Studies."
Hermione refused decisively, and quickly walked out of the classroom. Harry stayed loyally.
"What nonsense is she talking about? Didn't Muggle Studies start with Defence Against the Dark Arts?"
After Hermione disappeared outside the door, Ron turned around and said to Harry with wide eyes.
Faced with Ron's question, Harry, who knew no more than he did, spread his hands and shrugged.
The two were chatting when Lupin came over, and Ron immediately stepped back half a step, staring at him defensively.
Lupin was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and then he smiled bitterly: "It seems that you have discovered my secret..."
He is very familiar with Ron's current state. Whenever someone finds out that he is a werewolf, it is basically in this state. Ron's is not bad, and the more aggressive will even attack him directly.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that it's really difficult for a werewolf to find a job, so can you please keep the secret for me?"
After his identity was revealed, Lupin appeared to be very generous, which made Harry even more convinced that he was not a bad person.
Ron still looked vigilant, but his attitude softened a little.
"Of course," Harry nodded. "We still like the class you teach. As long as you don't attack the students, we have no reason to drive you away."
Ron murmured twice, although somewhat reluctantly, but did not object to Harry's statement.
"Thank you so much." Lupin smiled and started talking about business. "It's not a big deal for me to find Ron. I just heard that he had a special pet mouse, so I wanted to see it."
"You mean Scabbers?" Ron's mood suddenly became depressed when he heard someone mention his pet again, "It's gone, just when our family went to Egypt to travel... Mostly by the cats there Take it away."
In line with what Sirius said...
Lupin narrowed his eyes, believing the words on the note more and more.
However, he still wanted to confirm further, so he continued to ask: "Can you tell me in detail? About Banban."
"What's there to say about it?" Ron didn't know why. "Banbans is just a very ordinary mouse. Percy didn't want it, and then left it to me."
"Percy left it to you? How long has it been in your house?"
"I don't know, I saw Percy raising it when I was very young anyway."
Now Lupin was basically certain, even if the mouse Ron kept was not Pettigrew Peter, it was definitely not an ordinary mouse. A mouse could not live for so long.
"Okay, thank you."
Lupin didn't ask any more questions. Ron and the others obviously regarded Scabbers as ordinary mice, and they couldn't ask any more questions.
So he smiled at Harry and Ron, and left the classroom.
"What the **** is he doing?"
Lupin's behavior was so bizarre that Ron, who was confused, even temporarily forgot his dislike of werewolves, and turned to discuss it with Harry.
"Who knows? Maybe the werewolf would want to eat mice when he didn't transform?" Harry was also confused.
"Oh, then I'd rather believe that Scabbers is some kind of magical animal, so that he wouldn't be eaten by those cats in Egypt."
Thinking of Scabbers again after a few months, Ron felt a little sad again.
"By the way, are you saying it's possible that this has something to do with Sirius Black?"
For some reason, such a thought suddenly popped into Harry's head.
"Don't make fun of you guys," Ron laughed. "It can't be Lupin using the mouse to report to Black, right?"
After the two of them made a blind analysis without any clue, they put this matter aside.
On the other hand, after Lupin got the information he wanted, he basically believed the contents of the note, but he still planned to take advantage of Easter to leave school to search for more clues , it is best to find the mouse Scabbers who is suspected of Pettigrew Peter...
Although that possibility is not very big, whether it is to further determine the truth, or later to clear Sirius, find Banban, or Pettigrew Peter, it is all necessary.
So Harry, who was still monitoring Lupin, soon discovered that as the Easter holiday approached, the little black dot representing Lupin had completely disappeared from the Marauder's map.
"Professor Lupin went out to find creatures for the next class and final exam."
This is what Harry got when he asked Professor McGonagall about Lupin's whereabouts, and it was also the excuse Lupin used to ask Dumbledore to go out.
However, in the eyes of Harry and others who had long been suspicious, Lupin probably took this opportunity to leave the school and join Sirius Black.
So Lupin, who was about to get rid of the suspicion, suddenly became suspicious again in the eyes of Harry and the others.
