"The cat is very smart. It can understand me and can express to me clearly what it sees."

"It tried to catch Peter countless times before, but couldn't find a chance. Later, Peter fled from the boy again in front of it, and it told me all about the situation, and even helped me steal a piece of it. A note with the order to enter the Gryffindor lounge, so I can go in and confirm it myself."

"I sneaked into the Gryffindor lounge again the other day, and Peter did escape, he was no longer with the boy."

Hearing Sirius' narration, Sherlock frowned unconsciously.

"If Peter escaped, would he stay at Hogwarts?"

"Yes! He definitely didn't leave!" Sirius said gloomily, "Not only can the cat feel that he is still here, but according to his character, he will not escape from here!"

"When I was in Azkaban, the other Death Eaters who were locked in, gritted their teeth with hatred for him, thinking that it was because of his information that Voldemort finally lost his power, and they were caught in. ."

"Peter himself obviously knows this, and with his timid character, he will definitely leave a way out for himself. If Voldemort returns later, then he can use Harry to do something to ensure that he is in the His position there. Harry is another life-saving straw for him, and he won't let it go so easily!"

Sirius's analysis made sense, and Sherlock rubbed his chin in thought.

"You can try the Marauder's map. We didn't think Peter would be in the castle before, so we didn't pay attention to whether his name appeared on the map. But if he is still in the castle, he will definitely be found on the map. , if there is no map, but it is certain that Peter is still at Hogwarts..."

Sherlock turned his gaze back to the Forbidden Forest, and Sirius and Lupin followed his gaze.

"Then the most likely place for him to hide is this forest." Lupin finally said in a deep voice.

Sirius stared at them and asked.

"Marauder's map? I don't think Filch took that thing long ago? Not long after we finally left school?"

Sherlock also looked at Sirius.

"Did you get this map when you were in school?"

Lupin shook his head wryly.

"I'm sorry Sherlock, I haven't had time to tell you about this. The Marauder's map was actually drawn by us. After Sirius and the others learned Animagus, Hogwarts Castle was nothing to us. What a secret, we went through all the secret passages, then drew it all, used magic on it, and finally it became a Marauder's map."

Sherlock also suddenly realized at this time.

"It turns out that the makers shown on the map are the four of you, Moonface, Bigfoot, Prong and Wormtail."

Lupin then helped answer Sirius' questions.

"The Marauder's map then fell into the hands of the Weasley twins, who then gave it to Harry. Snape caught Harry the other day using the map to travel from the underpass to Hogsmeade, and Found the name of the producer on the map, so he called me over, and I took the opportunity to take the Marauder map."

"Snape? He's at Hogwarts too?"

"He's the dean of Slytherin and the potions professor."

Sirius was clearly dismissive of this, his attitude towards Snape had not changed even with age, much less Lupin had the slightest apology for what happened back then.

"Well, this is not the time to talk about these things. We should go back to the castle immediately and use the Marauder's map to see if we can find Peter's trail."

Lupin suggested.

Sirius looked a little hesitant. He didn't know if he could go back to the castle with Sherlock and the others.

Sherlock apparently spotted the problem, too, and drew his wand.

"You go back to being a dog first, and I'll change something for you, so that you won't be so conspicuous when you enter the castle with us."

The cooperation of Sirius returned to the form of a black dog.

Sherlock tapped his wand at him, making his hair fluffy and supple, and then changing his hair color to gray and white, and with his already fierce little eyes, he matched with the dog. A certain variety is almost exactly the same.

"This way, it won't be as conspicuous as the black dog. After we bring you to the castle, we can claim that we brought you in to catch Black easily, because dogs have a better sense of smell."

Lupin complimented Sherlock for his wonderful attention.

"Perfect! Use Black to catch Black, and no one will doubt that the dog that's tracking is actually Black himself!"

Having said that, they took Sirius away from the Forbidden Forest and returned to the castle.

At this time, it was just after six o'clock in the morning, and the castle was still empty, and there was no student union that got up so early.

Sherlock and the others went to Lupin's office first, then unfolded the Marauder's Map and looked for Peter's name on it.

But the three of them scrutinized the whole map carefully, and they didn't see any words of Peter Pettigrew.

"Is it possible that Peter secretly found an opportunity to erase his name from the map?" Sherlock hypothesized.

Lupin and Sirius all shook their heads together.

"Impossible, no one can erase their name from the map, even wearing the invisibility cloak will be displayed on the map."

Sherlock shrugged.

"My own name was erased by me."

Hearing him say this, Lupin and the others discovered that the office they were in had only the names of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, and Sherlock didn't show it on the map!

Lupin looked at Sherlock in shock.

"how did you do it?"

"Actually, it was just two simple little magic tricks." Sherlock took out his wand and tapped on the names of Lupin and Sirius on the Marauder's map.

The next moment, as if an eraser erased the names of the two of them little by little, they suddenly disappeared from the map.

"The magic you used to make this map is really amazing, but the technique is a bit too old. You only need to use a combination of the spell and the spell to get rid of the name on the map." Sherlock explained, "At that time, I also discovered it by accident, and it was a success when I tried it.”

The magic spells used in the method Sherlock showed them are not difficult, and a slightly normal wizard can learn it, but the combination of these two magic spells and application on the Marauder's map is simply unthinkable. .

"Even if the names on the Marauder's Map could be removed, Peter's unlikely to have thought of it, and he probably didn't even know that the Marauder's Map was in Harry's hands."

Lupin guessed.

"If his name is not found at Hogwarts, it is very likely that he is hiding in the Forbidden Forest like Sirius before him."

Sherlock touched his chin and asked hesitantly.

"Then do you want to tell Dumbledore about it? After he knows about it, it will undoubtedly be much easier to find Peter in the Forbidden Forest."

Sirius suddenly changed back from the form of Animagus at this time. They had previously agreed that he would remain in the form of an animal after entering the castle, but this problem with Sherlock forced him to change back to a human form. Express your opinion.

"Can't tell Dumbledore!" he said sullenly.

Lupin and Sherlock looked at each other.

The thinking of the two of them was to be inclined to report the matter truthfully to Dumbledore, with his authority at Hogwarts, coupled with his influence on the Ministry of Magic, if Peter was really hiding in the Forbidden Forest, he wanted to It will undoubtedly be much easier to find him.

"Why can't you tell Dumbledore?" Lupin asked.

There was a light called hatred in Sirius's eyes.

"If all the truth is told to Dumbledore, then even if Peter is caught, he will definitely hand Peter over to the Ministry of Magic!"

Lupin frowned and looked at him: "Isn't that just the way to clear your name and let Peter get the punishment he deserves?"

"Not enough!" he exclaimed, "if he gets caught by the Ministry of Magic, at best he'll be locked up in Azkaban! Those dementors are a life-or-death torment for the average wizard. But for wizards who have learned Animagus, they are no different from normal guards at all! They are only interested in human emotions, but ignore animals! This is why I can be locked there for more than ten years There's no reason to go crazy!"

Sirius' eyes were bloodshot.

"I'm going to kill him! Kill him with my own hands!"

Sherlock sighed and waved.

"You two make a decision. This is mainly a matter between the four of you. If you decide not to tell Dumbledore the truth, then I will keep it a secret for you."

Lupin looked at Sirius with a serious look on his face~lightnovelpub.net~ Just think about it, if you don't plan to hand Peter over to the Ministry of Magic in the end, then your crime cannot be cleared! The Ministry of Magic won't even give you a chance to use Veritaserum, as long as you are caught, it must be a kiss from the Dementors, and you are destined to remain anonymous for the rest of your life! "

Sirius clenched his teeth, causing his left cheek to twitch slightly from being too hard.

"I've always thought clearly! I'm guilty! Even if I get caught in the end, I'll admit it! But Peter must die!"

Lupin patted Sirius on the shoulder and sighed.

"I won't let you be caught by them. Since you've made up your mind, I respect your decision."

Just when they were finally about to negotiate, Sherlock suddenly interjected.

"But I want to remind you, don't forget your godson Harry, maybe you can not care about your own future, but he needs you more."
