Chapter 391 Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

"This story is a little long..."

The little cat's ears stood up when he heard Lupin say that.

Since Harry and Snape appeared, the atmosphere here has been very depressing. Fish didn't like this atmosphere, but he didn't know what to do. He even wanted to run away.

Now, finally hearing something that interested him, the cat immediately became excited.

"Good storytelling! Fish likes to listen to stories the most, meow!"

(ω)

Lupin: "..."

The emotions that had been brewing for a long time were suddenly destroyed by Fish. However, for Fish, no one except Professor McGonagall could do anything about him, so Lupin could only helplessly put his emotions back and start over.

"Everything started from here - from when I became a werewolf..."

Lupin told Harry and Fish about his admission to school and the origins of the Whomping Willow and the Shrieking Shack in a calm and tired voice.

"...I had friends for the first time, three very good friends. Sirius Black...Peter Pettigrew...and of course, Harry, your father, James Potter."

When he talked about his three friends, Black and Snape snorted coldly.

"They found out that I was a werewolf just like you and Ron..."

"Uh...actually, Hermione found out."

Harry interrupted awkwardly. He remembered Hermione's incredible eyes at the time and felt that he was really far behind his father.

"I think so too," Lupin smiled gently and continued, "But they didn't leave me. Instead, they found a way to make my transformation not only better, but also the best time of my life. They learned Animagus."

Hearing this, Fish, who originally felt that the story was a bit boring, was stunned for a moment. He regained his spirit with a serious expression and listened to Lupin's story seriously.

I don't know if it's a common problem for storytellers to keep suspense, but Lupin then refused to say what the Animagus forms of the three people were... Of course, Fish already knew that Black was a big black dog.

If he usually listened to Professor McGonagall telling him a story, then this way of keeping suspense would be quite interesting, which would keep Fish expectant, but now Fish just wanted to know if his guess was right, so he was anxious about Lupin's half-concealed way of telling the story.

Just when Maomao couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to ask directly, Lupin suddenly mentioned the feud between them and Snape.

"Later, Severus also noticed that I disappeared for a few days every month. We... um... didn't get along very well. He particularly disliked James, and James didn't like him either... Anyway, Snape saw me walking across the grounds with Madam Pomfrey one night, and she sent me to the Whomping Willow to transform."

"Hehehe..."

When Lupin said this, Snape uttered a series of low sneers, and then cast his eyes on Sirius Black who was hanging on the tree.

Sirius turned his head away with disdain, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with Snape. But in the eyes of Harry and Fish, his actions were full of guilt no matter how he looked at them.

"Sirius, for fun, told Snape that he could follow me in if he used a long stick to poke the knot on the trunk." Lupin continued, "Of course, Snape tried it... Your father heard what Sirius did, risked his life to catch up with Snape, and dragged him back..."

"Ha!" Snape sneered again, then clapped his hands and mocked, "What a wonderful speech, easily picking himself and Potter out."

He didn't believe that the other people didn't know about this, and the fact that James Potter risked his life to save him made him feel even more ridiculous... Lupin just said that werewolves would not have any desire to attack Animagus.

To put it bluntly, James Potter saved himself because he was worried that he would be expelled from school after something happened to him, and there was no danger at all.

Snape didn't appreciate it from the beginning, and now that he knew James was an Animagus, it was impossible for him to be grateful to him.

Fish on the side also widened his eyes and shouted at Sirius angrily: "You are really a bad guy, meow!"

(ΦДΦ)

Sirius opened his mouth to refute, but finally sighed dejectedly and acquiesced to Fish's accusation.

If he was facing Snape, his mortal enemy, he would still argue a few words, but in front of other people, Sirius could not deny his mistakes when he was young.

"Although I am not aware of this matter, we did do a lot of excessive things to Severus back then. Of course, he also fought back against us, but you know... We have more people and are popular in Gryffindor, and Severus, as a half-blood Slytherin, and you... um... Anyway, he didn't have many helpers in school at that time."

Lupin shrugged and explained the situation relatively fairly.

"Fish has already said that Severus, you should not be so gloomy all the time. You should make more friends."

(ˇˇ)

The kitten turned his head and said to Snape beside him seriously.

Snape pulled the corner of his mouth, just like before, pretending not to hear.

Harry looked at Snape with a complicated expression. He now understood why Snape hated him so much. To be honest, he even thought that Snape was very generous to protect him. If he put himself in his shoes, Harry was not sure whether he would protect Malfoy's child.

As for what Dumbledore said, that Snape would protect him because his father saved him, how could Harry still believe it now?

Then, Lupin continued to talk about their school days, and soon mentioned their nicknames - Prongs, Padfoot, Wormtail and his own Moon Face.

"Meow?!"

∑(ΦДΦ)

Fish took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket and raised it to Lupin.

"So this thing was made by you, meow?"

Seeing the map in the cat's hand, Lupin was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's in your hands, so, is this how Sirius and I were exposed?"

Sirius, who had known that the Marauder's Map was in Fish's hands, also smiled bitterly.

"You deserve it."

Snape said gloatingly. He just glanced at the so-called Marauder's Map casually and didn't take it seriously.

Just like Harry didn't want to use Nimbus 2001 and Malfoy was disgusted by the fact that their Boggarts were the same, Snape was completely dismissive of the things invented by Lupin and his gang.

After sighing for a while, Lupin finally talked about what Fish was most concerned about - the Animagus forms of the three of them, mainly Peter Pettigrew.

"I'm a werewolf, so I'm called Moon Face, and your father's Animagus is a stag, so we call him Prongs. Sirius turned into a big black dog, so it's naturally Padfoot..."

"Ah!"

When Harry heard that Black's Animagus was a big black dog, he couldn't help but exclaimed and cast his eyes on Fish.

"Yes, he is Cold Meow!"

(〃｀3〃)

The little cat pouted his mouth and said very unhappily: "He actually cheated Fish of so many delicious foods. Fish must beat him up a few more times later!"

However, Fish's words made Harry believe that Lupin and the others were wronged, and the reason was naturally the same as before.

"So, Black should have many opportunities to kill me, right?"

Harry couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe it's because Fluffy and Buckbeak are also here?"

Before Snape could speak, Fish gave an explanation.

The cat is currently in a dilemma. Although he has begun to suspect that the unmet Peter Pettigrew is very likely to be Scabbers, if Black is really not the murderer, then his bounty may be gone...

So he wants to know the truth, but also hopes that Lupin is lying, or that Peter Pettigrew's Animagus is not a mouse.

However, things did not go as planned...

"Wormtail's Animagus is a mouse. He was the culprit who betrayed your parents. After faking his death, he has been hiding in the Weasley family. Sirius saw a photo of the Weasley family in the Daily Prophet and knew that Wormtail was not dead..."

Lupin's gentle tone changed slightly, and Harry could feel the suppressed anger in his words.

"Remember when I asked Ron about his pet? I was just trying to confirm whether Sirius was lying, and I learned everything from him today."

Harry verified what Lupin said with what he knew, and began to believe that he and Black were innocent.

But Fish didn't care about this, because...

The rewarded gold galleons are gone, meow!

It was mentioned in the original book that Lucius was Snape's junior, and they had a good relationship during school, including Narcissa who trusted Snape very much.

However, when Snape was bullied by James and his friends, no one came out to help him, and they even emphasized that he was not popular...

Apart from the usual BUG, ​​it can only be assumed that it was only after Snape and Lily broke up that the other Slytherin students truly accepted Snape.
