HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 86 Banban’s true identity



Qiu Zhang only felt a tearing pain in his leg, and then he was dragged and rolled into the cave under the Whomping Willow.

Even though his skin was scratched and bleeding on the sharp stones, and his body was being dragged uncontrollably on the rugged ground by the big black dog, Qiu Zhang still held tightly to the gray rat in his hand, trying to break free.

Soon, it finally stopped, and Qiu Zhang was casually thrown into the corner of the room by the big black dog. Qiu Zhang leaned against the wall with his arms in embarrassment, raised his eyes and looked around, only to realize that he had arrived at the Shrieking Shack.

The scary-looking big black dog in front of him suddenly transformed into a middle-aged man with messy hair hanging on both sides, wearing gray and ragged clothes, and a crazy expression and playful eyes.

"Sirius Black!"

Qiu Zhang immediately recognized that the man in front of him looked exactly like the man on the wanted list, and also recognized his true identity - Sirius Black.

But the strange thing is that this crazy Black didn't do anything to Qiu Zhang, he didn't save Peter Pettigrew from her, and he didn't do anything to hurt her. He just retreated silently and hid behind the door, as if expecting Who is coming?

Could it be that he was using himself to lure Harry into a trap...

"If you want to save your partner, just take it and don't hurt others!"

Qiu Zhang's expression was solemn and nervous, and he carefully raised the mouse in his hand. Even though he was extremely scared, he still tried to deal with Blake cautiously.

"Partner? This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard! How can this dirty, cowardly, and betrayal of his friends be a partner..."

Blake seemed to be irritated by something Qiu Zhang said. He took two steps forward angrily, frowned and yelled at Qiu Zhang angrily, giving out a smile that was either mocking or crazy.

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but take a few steps back until he couldn't escape. He pressed his back against the wall and looked at Blake who was still crazy and angry.

Qiu Zhang suddenly extracted something from Blake's inexplicably irritated words...

Why didn't he catch Harry but wanted to catch an irrelevant person like himself?

Why does he have no intention of rescuing Peter Pettigrew, and it can even be said that he seems to have great hatred for Peter Pettigrew?

Betraying a friend, who did Peter Pettigrew betray? Harry's father?

"That beast chased a rat right past my door! It was so scary!"

Portrait of the Gryffindor Lounge The Fat Lady's panicked roar seemed to still be vivid in his mind, and suddenly something in the fog in Qiu Zhang's head gradually cleared and became clear.

"You didn't betray him, right? There was only one traitor, and that was Peter Pettigrew."

Qiu Zhang slowly raised his eyes, his original nervous and fearful mood gradually relaxed, his expression appeared calm and calm, and he slowly looked directly into Blake's cloudy but shining eyes and stated his speculation.

Blake's eyes suddenly flashed with light. He looked at Qiu Zhang and said nothing for a long time. The crazy smile on his face gradually dropped, and his face looked a little sad and solemn.

"You are very smart, a little too smart, but you remind me of someone..."

Blake's turbid but shining eyes gradually became drowsy and distracted, as if he was caught in some memory.

Cho Chang was about to say something when the side door of the Shrieking Shack was suddenly knocked open. Harry and his three friends immediately ran to Cho Chang anxiously and protected the weak Cho Chang who could not stand. behind.

"By the way, give me back my Banban..."

Even though he was protecting Cho Chang, Ron still turned his head inappropriately and frowned and ordered Cho Chang. Hermione couldn't help but feel a little irritated and hit Ron on the head hard, accusing him of his inappropriate behavior.

"Ron!"

"OK..."

Ron looked like a shriveled little turtle. He curled his lips and glanced at the mouse in Qiu Zhang's hand reluctantly, and then twisted his body with his neck curled up.

Qiu Zhang was a little touched by the actions of the three people protecting him tightly. He stared at Harry, Hermione and Ron with a little tenderness in his eyes, and then slowly thanked them.

"Thank you, Harry, Hermione, and Ron. But..."

Qiu Zhang followed up with a turning point, then limped slowly to stand next to Sirius Black and handed him the mouse in his hand.

In such a scene, in the eyes of the Harry trio, it looked as if Cho Chang and the damn Death Eater Black were in the same group.

Harry's eyes widened in disbelief, and Ron and Hermione even dragged Harry back a few steps and raised their wands in a defensive posture.

And Harry's whole body seemed to be frozen by the ice, standing motionless on the spot, with thick fire flashing in his eyes and glaring at Qiu Zhang with an expression of betrayal.

Qiu Zhang sighed helplessly and was about to explain something to Harry.

"No, did you misunderstand something..."

"There is nothing to misunderstand!"

As soon as Qiu Zhang finished speaking, Ron clutched the wand tightly and shouted at Qiu Zhang unceremoniously, obviously not liking Qiu Zhang's kidnapping of Banban at all.

"Expelliarmus!"

Harry then pulled out his wand and cast a spell on Black. A simple disarming spell knocked Black away from the attack.

At this moment, Professor Luping finally arrived. As soon as they entered the door, the trio anxiously wanted to ask him for help.

"Professor, Sirius Black has appeared, and Senior Sister Qiu Zhang is also an accomplice..."

Before Hermione finished explaining, Professor Lupine nodded thoughtfully, and then instead of subduing Black, she walked up and pulled him up. The two of them bumped shoulders as if they were brothers. , looking at each other and smiling.

Very good, the scene where the two old friends who looked like no one was reunited was quite happy. It was obvious that the three Harrys in the corner had pale faces and were frightened and couldn't find their way around.

Qiu Zhang sighed silently. Seeing that Black and Lupine were still chattering nonsense to Harry and the others without getting to the point, Qiu Zhang silently slapped Black on the head.

"Can you tell me the important point! Harry and the others are scared!"

Even Qiu Zhang himself didn't expect this action, it was just subconscious. Instead, Black suddenly paused. Qiu Zhang thought that this crazy lunatic who had been imprisoned for many years would definitely retaliate and hurt him, so he subconsciously took two steps back. Unexpectedly, Blake just touched the head where Qiu Zhang had been hit, shook his head in despair, and muttered.

"Why do you think of her..."

……

Lupine was the first to come back to his senses. He turned around and saw Harry, Hermione and Ron, their faces turned pale with fright. The three of them were holding each other's hands and huddled in the corner of the wall, staring fearfully at Lupine in front of them. Ping, Blake and Qiu Zhang.

Only Harry was blinded by hatred. He clutched the wand tightly in his hand and glared at the Black and three others fiercely. He was about to rush forward to attack, but was held tightly by Hermione and Ron.

"Sorry, we didn't make it clear. Only one person will die today, and that is the only betrayer thirteen years ago - Peter Pettigrew!"

Lupine's words had become so clear. Hermione, who had been observing, was the first to react. Thinking of the scene of Qiu Zhang snatching Scabbers on the lawn and her series of inexplicable questions, the fog in her mind suddenly became clear.

"You mean Scabbers is Peter Pettigrew!"

"It's impossible. Banban has been in my house for 12 years and has grown up with me since I was born!"

Ron was the first to firmly reject it. It was obvious that he was more willing to believe that Scabbers was just an ordinary mouse than what the criminal said.

"Twelve years? Which mouse can live for so long? Don't be stupid!"

Blake couldn't bear it anymore and threw the mouse in his arms to the ground. The mouse ran out of the house almost as soon as it hit the ground.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Qiu Zhang immediately pulled out his magic wand with quick eyesight and pointed it at the fleeing image and cast a spell. The mouse immediately stopped in place and remained motionless.

Qiu Zhang walked over slowly and threw the mouse over, but Black stepped on it hard.

"Alright!"

Black licked his blackened teeth and stared at Harry with a crazy and frightening expression.

"Aparecium!"

The next moment, the almost invisible little mouse that was stepped on by Blake slowly grew in size, and finally turned into a stooped, short, thin-haired man.

Peter Pettigrew!

Almost as soon as the little mouse turned into a human, the three Harrys immediately confirmed his identity and saw that his face and timid posture were exactly the same as those on the wanted list.

Harry didn't know what he was feeling, except that his head felt like it was going to explode because he had to accept so much news at once.

He didn't even know if he could believe Black's one-sided words. After all, neither he nor Peter Pettigrew were good people.

I just caught a glimpse of Qiu Zhang's sincere and focused eyes looking at him gently and tolerantly, as if he was ready to accept his talk and comfort him at any time. Harry didn't know why but he just felt moved. He subconsciously felt that Senior Qiu Zhang couldn't be a bad guy... couldn't be a Death Eater...

Well, Harry admitted, he couldn't help but want to believe them...
