Chapter 151 Opened Locket

Peter was tied up tightly. He trembled as he looked at the people who surrounded him. His eyes, which were exactly like those of a mouse, were rolling around.

"Sirius, Lu, Lupin." Peter Pettigrew's voice was also sharp. He looked around again, "My friends, my old friends..."

Black's eyes were already flashing with pleasure, excitement, hatred and impatience. He raised his wand.

But Lupin held his hand and signaled him not to rush.

In front of Harry and the others, they confronted Peter and exposed all his lies.

Peter, who found that there was no way to change the situation with words and could not find a chance to escape, completely collapsed.

He looked ashen and kept begging.

"Sirius, it's me, Peter, your friend. You won't... You won't kill me, right!"

Sirius kicked him aside without hesitation. The disgust in his eyes was like looking at a piece of garbage.

Peter's face was covered with snot and tears. He crawled on the ground like a worm and crawled to Lupin's side to try to arouse his sympathy, but Lupin turned a blind eye to it.

Then he begged Ron and Harry again, hoping that they could help him say a few words, but Ron looked at him with only disgust.

"He slept in my bed and pooped on Harry's pillow!"

Sirius couldn't wait any longer. He raised his wand and joined Lupin.

Sherlock always felt a little uneasy. He felt that the strange sound was getting louder and louder, just like a clock kept turning in his ears. He heard every minute and every second clearly.

"Hurry up, solve the problem quickly, so as not to have more troubles at night." He urged.

Lupin and Sirius no longer hesitated, and they prepared to wave their wands together.

However, just as they were about to recite the spell, Peter's face showed a dead despair, and Harry suddenly spoke loudly.

"No! You can't kill him!"

Lupin and the others stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Harry in shock.

"This is your parents' enemy Harry!" Sirius roared, "He killed your parents! This servile and dirty guy will not be moved by your death. You heard what he said just now, his own stinking body is more important than the lives of your whole family!"

"I understand." Harry panted, "Let's take him to the castle and hand him over to the Dementors. He can go to Azkaban... Just don't kill him. If he dies, your crime will never be cleared. It's not worth it. It's not worth it for such a person."

Hearing Harry's words, Sherlock showed a relieved expression on his face. He was very happy that Harry could think of these things.

Sirius's expression was twisted. He wanted to kill Peter on the spot, but he had to respect Harry's choice.

Because among the people present, only Harry was the one who had the most power to judge Peter's fate.

Peter, who saw the hope of living again, hugged Harry's legs with tears of joy, and kept thanking him for his kindness, but Harry shook his hand away with disgust.

At this time, Sherlock stared at Peter.

"Can the petrification spell prevent Animagus from transforming?"

He didn't know where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and he could only associate it with his memory that there was a mouse that ran away in the original book, so he had to make sure again and again about Peter's current state.

Sirius shook his head.

"No, as long as Animagus is learned, this kind of magic can become the instinct of wizards. No wand or spell is needed. As long as you use your brain, you can complete the transformation."

Lupin saw Sherlock's worry.

"Don't worry, Sirius and I will catch him. If Peter dares to transform, we will kill him, okay? Harry."

Harry nodded. He naturally had no objection to this decision.

Their approach seemed perfect, but Sherlock still felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything.

"Do you need to use your brain to complete the transformation?" He raised his wand to Peter, and then chanted a spell under Peter's horrified eyes, "Fall to the ground."

The red wand hit Peter, and he fell asleep with his head drooping.

Sherlock nodded with satisfaction.

"This is how people can be reassured."

"You are too cautious, Sherlock." Lupin said, "But caution is never a bad thing."

Sirius and Lupin each grabbed one of Peter's arms and pulled Peter up from the ground.

Hermione's pet Crookshanks showed the pride of a hero, and walked at the front of the team with his head held high.

Sirius and Harry just met tonight and were talking about their godfather and godson relationship.

Sherlock did not follow the main group. He was still listening carefully to the strange sound, looking for where it was.

Just as he was looking around, he suddenly noticed the bright white full moon in the sky, and he was stunned.

At this moment, Sherlock seemed to finally understand what he was anxious about. He suddenly turned his head to look at Lupin, whose face was extremely pale.

"Remus!"

Hearing Sherlock call out Lupin's name directly, which was rare, Harry and the others were all stunned standing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Lupin looked at Sherlock strangely.

"What happened?"

Sherlock stared at him and said with pursed lips.

"You told me in the office before that Snape hasn't delivered the wolfsbane potion to you today."

Instantly, Lupin's face became paler than before!

"I can't go back to the castle!"

Harry and Ron were puzzled by this. They didn't know Lupin's identity as a werewolf yet.

Hermione seemed to have guessed something beforehand, and Sherlock's words made her more certain of her guess.

Sirius also reacted at this time. He looked at the Forbidden Forest behind him and said anxiously.

"Run deeper into the Forbidden Forest, the deeper the better."

However, at this moment, an abrupt voice that did not belong to any of them suddenly sounded.

"Don't run, Lupin, I brought you the medicine."

From the darkness in the direction of Hogwarts Castle, there was a light sound of footsteps. Snape, whose greasy hair was reflecting the moonlight, walked over with a playful expression on his face, holding a bottle of potion in one hand and a wand in the other.

Seeing him, Lupin showed a surprised expression on his face.

"How did you know we were here? Thank you, Snape."

But Sherlock was not as optimistic as he was, because Snape's expression when he looked at Lupin and Sirius was very wrong.

It was a look like the one when Sirius saw Peter, which was contrary to Snape's normal passion and hatred!

He avoided Lupin's hand that wanted to take the potion, and kept his wand pointed at Sirius' chest.

"Compared to delivering medicine to you, I think I found a bigger problem." Snape's tone was unusually gloomy. "Two professors from Hogwarts and three Gryffindor students stayed up late at night to secretly meet the Ministry of Magic's top wanted criminal! What do you want to do?"

"Listen Severus, I'll talk about my business later, you give the medicine to Lupin first! Give it to him first!"

Black had already discovered Lupin standing next to him, and something was obviously wrong. He shouted loudly, but Snape was not moved at all.

"It's even better if he turns into a werewolf! The Dementors will come soon, they will see the fugitive they want, and then see a werewolf that is out of control! Guess what they will do?"

Snape's face showed a happy expression, that is the excitement of revenge!

Suddenly, a flashing red light hit him from behind!

Snape's body froze in place, unable to move.

What attacked him from behind was just a solitary wand hanging in the air. After the spell was cast, the wand spun gently and then returned to Sherlock's hand.

"Hurry up! Lupin is about to transform!" Sirius helped Lupin, who was kneeling on the ground, and urged Sherlock.

Sherlock naturally knew that time was urgent and he had to let Lupin drink the bottle of medicine before he turned into a werewolf!

But when he walked towards the petrified Snape, the sound of the clock hands turning became louder and louder!

It was as if there was a timer counting down the time, and the pointer on it was about to reach the last moment.

Sherlock was naturally in no mood to care about this at this time. He walked quickly towards Snape, and the second his hand touched Snape's hand.

The sound suddenly stopped.

Not only the sound, but everything around was also still!

The leaves blown down from the branches by the wind stayed motionless in the air, as if they were frozen.

Sherlock grabbed the potion in Snape's hand. He could see that Snape was still blinking angrily.

But the others, Sirius, who was anxiously supporting Lupin, Lupin, who was kneeling on the ground with a painful face, Harry, Ron and Hermione, who were staring at the scene in front of them with their mouths open, all seemed to have pressed the pause button.

Sherlock looked at everything around him incomprehensible.

"What's going on?"

Snape, the only one who could move like him in this scene, could only blink hard.

His eyes were also full of confusion, and he didn't understand what was going on at all.

At this time, Sherlock realized that the locket he had been wearing around his neck had been opened at some point!

There was a golden watch inlaid in the box, but there was no time scale on the surface. The only lonely pointer suddenly turned back wildly in the counterclockwise direction when Sherlock saw it!
