Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Lupin pushed the secret passage door aside, spilling a lot of dust.

He quickly climbed out of the secret passage into a house, a messy, dusty house. Wallpapers have fallen off the walls, stains are all over the floor, one piece of furniture is damaged, it seems that someone broke it, and the windows are nailed to the wood.

This is a screaming hut where Lupin and his friends have been here countless times, and now that Blake has broken into the castle, there is a good chance of hiding here.

Lupin smelled the familiar smell in the surrounding air, and he laid his wand across his chest, carefully crossing the dark aisle and climbing the impending collapse of the staircase.

As on the first floor, everything on the second floor was covered with a thick layer of dust.

But that's not the case on the floor, something recently walked through here, a claw mark from a dog animal.

Lupin glanced down and he was too familiar with the footprint, which was left behind by Sirius Black Animagus. Black must have been here recently, and he's probably still hiding in this house.

Lupin tightened the wand in his hand and looked carefully at a closed door at the end of the corridor. Blake may be hiding behind this door, ready to pop out. Although the other party does not have a wand, Lupin still dares not be careless.

He approached slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible, and his whole body of magic converged dark and frozen, with a faint fluorescence at the tip of the wand.

“Come out, Sirius, I know you're in there!” Lupin stood outside the door and shouted, his voice echoing in the empty room.

Nothing happened, dead silence inside the door.

Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and the next second, his wand quickly emitted a thick red light, knocking the door out hard.

In the room, there is only one luxurious four-poster bed, surrounded by dust. Nobody up there, just him standing at the door breathing heavily.

Lou Ping laid down his wand flashly, Blake was not here, maybe he was there, but after knowing he saw him tonight, he hid somewhere else.

“Despicable coward!” Lupin whispered.

This behavior of Blake doesn't match his impression of Sirius, he's not a runaway man, and as a student, he was the bravest of them all, but by the time he knelt down to kiss Voldemort Robe, I'm afraid the courage of the past was gone.

Now Blake is no longer a brave and fearless Griffindor, more like a insidiously sly Slytherin, or he is.

Lupin stood in front of the house for a whole minute with an indescribable loneliness on his face.

He sighed deeply and turned around to prepare to leave. But he immediately stopped, and he saw something left in the bed, which was a picture.

Lupin walked over and picked up the photo.

Four boys, from left to right, were themselves as students, Jameport, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew.

The four people in the picture laughed so happily, they were all laughing and saying hello to Lupin.

Lupin suddenly had some heartache, and he remembered that this photograph was taken on the lawn in front of the castle gate when they graduated, one for each of them to commemorate.

He sent his own photo when Hagrid collected it for Harry the previous year; James's one was lost in the rubble the night he was attacked, and Peter's one should have been blown to pieces by Blake himself.

The only one left with this picture is Blake himself.

Probably left it here accidentally when he stayed in the screaming shed, didn't expect Blake to keep this photo all the time, Lupin thought he'd thrown it away with friendship.

Looking at this already yellow photograph, Lupin's thoughts go back to the time they just graduated, the darkest age in the magic world.

At that time, black wizards, led by Voldemort, ravaged the magic world, openly resorting to violence, spreading terror, killing impure wizards and Muggles in the name of "pleasure”, and even waging a war of wizards that overthrew the magic world.

During that protracted war, Lupin witnessed the death of many people, including his former elders, classmates and many good people.

The year they graduated, three years before the end of the war. They couldn't wait to join the Phoenix Society and stand on the front line against Voldemort.

Although Voldemort and his Death Eaters possessed much more power than the then Phoenix Society.

But relying on the close cooperation of four people, they had repeatedly stopped Voldemort's plot and escaped from his hands.

Lu Ping originally thought it would last until he defeated Voldemort.

But in the last year of the war, everything changed. Dumbledore got word in advance that Voldemort was hunting down Jaime and Lily's son Harry for some reason. James had intended to fight head-on, but for Harry's sake, they finally took Dumbledore's advice to hide and defend themselves with a bold and loyal spell.

Aside from Dumbledore, myself and Peter Pettigrew are the only two people who know who James Confidant is. James chose Sirius Black, who he once thought was his closest friend and the strongest of several.

Lupin once thought it was the best option.

But he's wrong. They're all wrong!

Less than a week after Blake became James and Lily's secret, he betrayed them to Voldemort. Voldemort broke into their house that night, and he killed them, but he didn't know why he failed at Harry's!

After knowing the news, Lupin remembered his reaction at the time, he went crazy to find Blake, he needed to ask the other side the truth, there must have been a problem, why James and Lily would die, and why the bold, loyal spell would fail.

Until then, he didn't believe that Black would betray them to Voldemort.

Two days later, Lupin found Black.

But he was one step late and Peter Pettigrew found each other before he did.

By the time Lupin saw Black on that street, he had been surrounded by the Arrogant Regiment, which had blown Peter and the whole street into pieces a minute earlier.

It was Blake who betrayed James and Lily to Voldemort, and in the ensuing questioning, he killed Peter Pettigrew.

Lupin stood helplessly on the corner, and he saw Blake laughing wildly there while crying silently in the corner, the only time he cried after he had vowed not to cry as a child.
