Sherlock couldn't help but shake his head after hearing his story.

"What a shameful betrayal."

At the same time, he frowned again and remembered what Lupin said before.

"You said that after they discovered that you were a werewolf, they specially learned a high-end deformation technique to accompany you?"

Lupin did not answer Sherlock's question as soon as possible.

He silently looked up at the full moon hanging high in the dark outside the shed, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he spoke slowly.

"I have always felt guilty about this, and even hesitated to say it to Dumbledore. Now that I have told you, even if Dumbledore is disappointed with me, I will tell him the whole story after tonight."

Sherlock didn't say anything, he showed a listener's attitude, wanting to listen to Lupin finish the matter.

"James, Sirius and Petdwarfs came to accompany me together when I transformed into a werewolf, and they specially learned a transformation technique "Animagus". This magic can turn wizards into animals, and werewolfs are only interested in attacking humans and have no intention of attacking animals."

"James and Sirius have a high talent in magic. They both learned this magic alone, and the little dwarf also mastered Animagus with the help of both of them. After they finished learning, they did not report this to the Ministry of Magic. They took me, who had become a werewolf, to wander around the village of Hogsmeade."

"I was very young at that time and didn't think about how dangerous it would be to do this. Not only Snape once, but many times he almost hurt others, but fortunately, I still graduated from Hogwarts safely afterwards."

"Sirius, he will Animagus, and he is likely to sneak into Hogwarts through this, but I have never dared to tell Dumbledore about this. If he says it, it is equivalent to telling him that I did such a thing during my student days. I am afraid that he will be disappointed in me!"

Lupin held his wolf head, he looked very painful, but his tone was filled with a sense of release that he could say everything.

"The students in the castle like me very much and think I am a good teacher, but I am so timid that I have been hesitant to tell the truth."

Sherlock didn't care about Lupin's current emotions, because Lupin's words made him think of something. He stared at the werewolf opposite him who was blaming himself and asked quickly.

"Do you remember what animal Black's Animagus form turned into?"

"It's a black dog."

Hearing his answer, Sherlock suddenly stood up from the ground.

"Black, a big dog?"

Lupin noticed Sherlock's abnormality. He raised his head, as if he had guessed something, and looked at Sherlock blankly.

"Yes, he is very big and can reach the waist of an adult."

Sherlock hit his palm with his fist.

"So it's him!"

"You've seen him?" Lupin asked nervously.

"It's not just that I've seen it, but he has helped me a lot!"

Sherlock didn't say exactly what he was doing, he was paced back and forth in the screaming shed, as if thinking about something.

"But it shouldn't be. Without you saying it, no one knew that he was Animagus. He sneaked into Hogwarts for a breeze and touched the Gryffindor lounge twice. Why was Harry not attacked at once? Is Harry's luck?"

He murmured to himself, and Lupin also heard his self-talk, but he didn't know why.

Sherlock suddenly stopped, staring at Lupin and began to analyze it bit by bit.

"The first time I saw him was at Hogwarts, and he must have just arrived at Hogsmeade and had not found the right opportunity to sneak into Hogwarts. The second time was at Hogwarts. It was the evening of the first day of school, and he was still staying in Hogsmeade, which means he had not found the opportunity yet."

"I went to Hogsmeade again on Halloween, but Black was no longer there at that time. And that night, just as the Halloween banquet was in progress, he violently sneaked into Gryffindor's lounge, which means he successfully entered Hogwarts before Halloween."

"The third time I saw him was when the Dementor forced himself into the Quidditch competition in the school. He was on the stands on the highest floor of the Quidditch field. At that time, he probably thought there would be no one there, but he happened to meet me!"

He suddenly stopped when he said this.

The screaming shed was extremely quiet, so quiet that Lupin's heavy breathing sound was extremely clear.

"This shows something." Sherlock said slowly.

Lupin stared at him and asked immediately.

"What does it mean?"

"He broke into the Gryffindor Lounge for the first time from Halloween, and I met him during the Quidditch game in the middle, and then the second time he broke into the Gryffindor Lounge a few days ago. He didn't leave Hogwarts for so long!"

Lupin did not agree with Sherlock's conclusion very much.

"Impossible, I've used the live spot map and haven't seen his name in any area of ​​Hogwarts."

Sherlock stared into his eyes.

"Did the live spot map really cover the entire range of Hogwarts?"

Lupin said without hesitation: "Of course!"

"What about the forbidden forest?"

Luping was stunned!

Yes.

The Forbidden Forest has a large range. As one of the makers of the Live Spot Map, Lupin knew very well that they recorded every corner of Hogwarts on it, all the secret passages, and all the exits.

But the forbidden forest cannot be drawn on it, because the forest is too big!

If Black wants to find a place to hide in Hogwarts school, then the Forbidden Forest is the best place to hide!

"Yes! He can hide in the forbidden forest!"

Lupin's wolf face showed a huge surprise. He now only felt that Sherlock's boss during the Auror Command was a complete idiot!

It is definitely the biggest loss in the Ministry of Magic that he can actually release such talents from it!

"We will go to Dumbledore tomorrow, tell him the matter, and then conduct a major search of the Forbidden Forest!" Lupin said excitedly.

Sherlock did not respond to his proposal, but stared at Lupin with his eyes wide open.

"Maybe we can try it tonight."

Lupin was shocked by Sherlock's words.

"Tonight? Us?"

"Yes, tonight, we." He said affirmatively.

"But I'm still a werewolf now..."

"What you want is your werewolf." Sherlock looked at him and said, "In this state, are you much better at hearing, smell and vision than normal?"

Lupin hesitated, "...yes, right, but only the two of us, such a large forbidden forest..."

"I know the chance is very small, but I can definitely try it."

In the end, Lupin was convinced by him.

The two of them returned to the willow to beat the man through the tunnel of the screaming shack. At this time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and there was no other sound except for the insects and birds singing from the forbidden forest.

Sherlock and Lupin did not act separately because even if they searched separately, it would be useless for such a large forbidden forest.

When the two of them are together, they can guarantee that if they find Black, they will not let him escape easily.

After entering the Forbidden Forest, they kept searching deeper. Lupin was undoubtedly one of the magic creatures at the top of the food chain of the magic world in the form of werewolf. The official risk rating of werewolf is xxxxx, which is on par with the fire dragon and snake monster.

So they don’t have to worry about encountering other magical creatures in the forbidden forest. With Lupin there, they all have to take a detour.

Sherlock and the others walked deeper for about an hour, and even reached the territory of the former Eight-Eyed Giant Spider. Now that they have been burned into white, they still have no shadow of Black.

"No, it's just the two of us, it's hard to find a black dog in such a big place." Lupin shook his head, feeling that this trip was destined to be a return without success.

Sherlock touched his chin and said thinking.

"Maybe we were looking for the wrong direction. We subconsciously thought that since Black was going to hide in the forbidden forest, the deeper he hid, the more secure he would feel."

"But in fact, he was hiding anywhere in the Forbidden Forest in Animagus, because no one except you knows his Animagus form. Even if someone sees him in this woods, he is just a black dog, and he will not be suspicious."

"What's more, he must always pay attention to the movements on Hogwarts. If it is hidden deep in the forbidden forest, it will be detrimental to his observation in the school."

"So we shouldn't come to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, we should search the Forbidden Forest near the edge of Hogwarts!"

Lupin's reasoning about Sherlock was shocking.

Wizards, especially those with pure bloodlines, have always been naturally at a disadvantage in terms of logical reasoning ability.

Most magic requires strong emotions to be released, so basically, after learning magic for a long time, it will become increasingly lacking in rationality.

But Sherlock's performance at this time was like an alien among the wizards, combining all the clues and deducing the result of infinitely close to the answer!

They immediately turned around and returned and began to search again on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

But after searching for more than an hour, when the sky began to turn white, there was still no gain.

Sherlock shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that we can't find it now. Let's tell Dumbledore about this when we return to the castle and let more people come and look for it."

Just as Sherlock finished speaking, Lupin suddenly raised his ears alertly.

"etc!"
Chapter completed!
