00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.
00:13Don't forget to like and comment. So that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:19making clips. Let's go listen. Hogwarts. I am such a model wizard.
00:25Chapter 431. Padfoot and Wormtail Kyle's sudden appearance stunned everyone,
00:32even halting Professor Lupin's clenched fist, which was about to land on Black's face.
00:37Only Black seemed unfazed. He continued lunging toward Scabbers, still clutched tightly in Ron's
00:44hands, without looking back. But now, wandless, he was quickly repelled by Harry and Hermione
00:50working together, sending him flying backward. He crashed into a table with a loud thud.
00:57Kay Kyle? Professor Lupin stammered in disbelief, snapping back to reality.
01:03What are you doing here? Hello, Professor, Kyle replied with a grin,
01:08gesturing to the corner he had been standing in. I've actually been here for a while,
01:13just standing over there. None of you noticed. What? You were here the whole time? Professor
01:21Lupin frowned. He'd been focused on Black, yes, but surely he'd have noticed an extra person in
01:28the room. But that wasn't even his primary question. I meant, how did you find your way here?
01:35Lupin pressed. I followed the map, Kyle explained, pulling out a large piece of parchment.
01:41I was looking at it in the dorm and saw you five leaving the castle right before curfew.
01:47I got curious, so I decided to follow. The Marauder's Map. Professor Lupin recognized the
01:54parchment immediately. He'd helped create it and knew it well. You took it from Filch's office?
02:02No, I've never been to Filch's office, Kyle replied, shaking his head. I borrowed it.
02:08Wait, Kyle. Harry interjected, realizing something was off. Did you say five people left the castle?
02:18Yes, Kyle confirmed with a nod. Harry's eyes narrowed in thought. But there are only three
02:24of us here, plus Professor Lupin, that's four. Could it mean Black's been sneaking in and out of
02:31the castle? No, Kyle answered. The map showed that right next to Professor Lupin was someone
02:37named Peter Pettigrew. That's impossible. Ron protested, visibly frustrated. Why would it say
02:46Peter again? It's obviously just Scabbers. Yes, Professor Lupin agreed this time, eyeing the map
02:53doubtfully. We've just confirmed he's not an inimigus. The map must have an error, it's been
03:00left and used for a long time, after all. There can't be anything wrong with the map.
03:06Kyle hadn't even finished speaking when Black, rising unsteadily from the floor, interrupted
03:11him with a loud shout. Black looked electrified, his eyes wide with hope, and started toward
03:17Kyle with a frantic urgency. But after only two steps, his body began floating off the ground
03:23like a balloon. Casting without a wand. Hermione gasped, covering her mouth in surprise. No.
03:33Professor Lupin corrected, his gaze fixed on a fist-sized blue insect buzzing near Black.
03:38It's a billy wig. Anyone stung by it starts to float uncontrollably.
03:43Sorry, Kyle said with a shrug. Black seemed a bit too, excited, so I thought this might help
03:51calm him down. He reached out and caught the billy wig as it hovered back toward him.
03:57Ron watched with a mix of admiration and envy. If only his Scabbers could do that,
04:03maybe no one would have tried to snatch him away. Meanwhile, Black struggled Medare,
04:08trying to reach the ground. But Lupin had already grabbed a piece of string and securely tied
04:13him up, leaving him bobbing in the air like an oversized balloon. Let's go, Professor Lupin said.
04:20It's getting late, and we need to hurry and take Black to Professor. Dumbledore. He hesitated,
04:28clearly refraining from saying what might hand Black over to the Dementors directly.
04:33But just as he started toward the door, he noticed Kyle's gaze fixed on the rat in Ron's hand.
04:38Scabbers had gone still, nestled in Ron's grip, his small eyes betraying what almost looked like a
04:44smug smile. Why are you smiling, Peter? Kyle asked gently. Don't you realize yet? You won't be able
04:53to change back. Or do you think Professor Lupin and Black are both amateurs who messed up the spell?
04:59The gleam of satisfaction in the rat's eyes vanished, replaced by a growing horror.
05:06Lupin and Black, fools. Hardly. They were both top students in their time, and Scabbers seemed to
05:13suddenly remember that fact, terror deepening in his gaze. He began struggling again, even biting Ron's
05:20finger. Ouch! Ron cried, loosening his grip in pain. But instead of fleeing, Scabbers dropped to the
05:28floor and started circling frantically, emitting high-pitched squeals. Scabbers, what's wrong with
05:35you? Ron asked, worry etched across his face. He's just double-checking something, Kyle observed,
05:42watching the panicked rat. Ron, mind if I borrow your wand for a moment? Ron clutched his wand tight
05:50softly, hesitant. Use mine, Harry offered, handing his wand over with a tense expression. He was full
05:57of questions and didn't want to miss any chance to uncover the truth. Thanks. Kyle took Harry's
06:04wand and placed it on the floor, addressing the distressed rat with a wry smile. Go on, try it
06:10yourself, see if you can reverse your inimigous transformation. Scabbers remained frozen, unwilling
06:16to expose himself. Kyle seemed to guess what was running through the rat's mind. Don't worry, he
06:23coaxed. If you can actually change back, I'll be the one to let you go. Then, without warning, Kyle
06:30pointed his own wand at Hermione and cast, Expelliarmus. Catching her wand Medare, he pocketed it alongside
06:37his own and Professor Lupin's. See? Kyle said, waving his hand dismissively. There's no one left to
06:46threaten you. If you can manage to change back and grab Harry's wand, you're free to escape.
06:52Kyle, this is. Professor Lupin began, looking uneasy, but before he could finish, Scabbers darted forward.
07:00To everyone's disbelief, the rat bumped his head against the tip of Harry's wand. Unlike the previous
07:07blue glow, the wand now emitted a faint white light. Under everyone's stunned gaze, Scabbers' body shook,
07:15but nothing happened. Even Ron began to see that something was seriously wrong. Scabbers, as if in a
07:22frenzy, kept slamming into the wand again and again, desperate. In the dim room, the white light flickered
07:29unsteadily, like a sputtering light bulb. The scene slowly chipped away at Ron's conviction.
07:36His Scabbers was using the wand, using the same spell. But how could an ordinary rat manage that?
07:43Scabbers continued, his frenzied attempts growing more intense, until his fur began to tear.
07:49A few drops of blood spattered onto the wand, making Harry feel queasy. And then Harry understood,
07:56at least partly, why Kyle had insisted on borrowing Ron's wand.
08:01Haha. Peter.
08:03Hahaha. Black's laughter filled the room, raw and victorious, echoing off the walls.
08:10One single tear rolled down his cheek, falling silently onto the dusty floor.
08:16Hogwarts.
08:16I am such a model wizard.
08:20Chapter 432, The Truth
08:22Watching Scabbers frantically banging his head against the wand, Ron backed up against the wall,
08:27one hand clutching his chest. His voice tinged with hysteria, he blurted out,
08:32what the hell is going on?
08:34Can someone please explain?
08:35He'd had this rat as a pet for years, and now to see it trying to use a wand left him reeling.
08:42He was too shocked and unnerved to even approach Scabbers again.
08:47That's what we'd all like to know, Professor Lupin said, eyeing black, who was still cackling.
08:53With a frown, he added, how do you know Peter can't transform back?
08:57Kyle didn't answer immediately, instead, he raised his wand and cast, stupefy.
09:04Instantly, Peter's rat form collapsed to the ground, motionless.
09:09Kyle then returned Hermione and Professor Lupin's wands before explaining,
09:13it's because of the tonic I made for him.
09:16Tonic?
09:17Hermione asked, frowning as she accepted her wand.
09:21But I've never read about pet tonics preventing Animoji from changing back.
09:26Normally, they don't, Kyle replied.
09:29But I added a whole dried mandrake leaf to his remedy, specifically the one at the top
09:34of the root.
09:35What did you say?
09:37Professor Lupin blurted, clearly shocked.
09:40Mandrake leaves weren't cheap, costing five sickles each, and the topmost leaves from the
09:45root were even rarer and more expensive, about ten times the price of regular ones.
09:51A single leaf could support someone's needs for a month, yet Kyle had used it to brew a
09:55tonic for a rat.
09:57Did Kyle know Scabbers was Peter all along?
10:00But that didn't seem possible.
10:03Peter's Animigus form had been kept a secret for years, and his staged death was twelve years
10:08ago.
10:09Kyle would have only been two or three years old at the time.
10:13It was, kind of a coincidence, Kyle admitted, disregarding Lupin's puzzled expression.
10:18I wanted the tonic to be as potent as possible.
10:23I didn't expect him to actually be an Animigus.
10:26But, does it really matter?
10:29Harry asked, looking baffled.
10:31Of course it does, Kyle said, pulling out a cage and locking Peter inside, hardly glancing
10:37up.
10:38He'd half expected someone to jump in with an explanation, but everyone remained silent,
10:43watching him as he secured Peter.
10:44However, even Hermione and Lupin looked as bewildered as Harry.
10:49Have none of you read Herbology books beyond your textbooks?
10:53Kyle asked almost absently.
10:56Hermione shook her head, somewhat sheepishly.
10:59Though she'd read a great many books, Herbology references outside her school texts were few among
11:04them.
11:06Professor Lupin also looked away, admitting silently that he hadn't, either.
11:11All right then.
11:12Kyle sighed.
11:13Mandrake leaves are incredibly beneficial for magical creatures.
11:19They heal injuries, strengthen the body, they have all kinds of uses.
11:24But Animoji are an exception.
11:26You do know what the first step is to become an Animigus, right?
11:31Kyle's gaze shifted pointedly to Black.
11:34Of course I remember, Black said, still floating awkwardly midair.
11:38Without even asking how Kyle knew he was an Animigus, he rubbed his sore chin.
11:43You have to keep a Mandrake leaf in your mouth for a month straight.
11:47And believe me, that month was no picnic.
11:51I nearly gave up more than once.
11:54Exactly, Kyle replied.
11:56The Mandrake leaf serves as a kind of magical record of you as a wizard.
12:00It's like another, you, or a beacon to help guide you back.
12:05A beacon?
12:06Harry repeated, more confused than ever.
12:10It felt like one of Professor Trelawney's divination classes, where he'd have no idea
12:15what was going on but was still expected to participate.
12:17Okay, let me simplify, Kyle said with a sigh.
12:22A death-as-head hawk moth transforms you from a human to an animal, while the Mandrake leaf
12:27allows you to transform back.
12:29What's a death-as-head hawk moth?
12:32Ouch.
12:34Harry began, but before he could finish, Hermione elbowed him in the stomach, leaving him gritting
12:39his teeth in pain.
12:41That's one of the ingredients in the Animigus potion, Kyle explained, giving Harry a knowing
12:46look before continuing.
12:47So, if an Animigus consumes a large amount of Mandrake root while in their animal form,
12:52the magic that holds their wizard identity can slowly dissipate, to the point they may
12:57not be able to change back.
12:59But that can't be right, Hermione protested.
13:02Professor McGonagall taught us about Animoji, and she didn't mention any dangers like that.
13:08If it were as risky as you say, she would have definitely warned us.
13:13There's no need for that, Kyle replied calmly.
13:15For one thing, a wizard's magical identity isn't easy to dissolve.
13:20They'd have to consume Mandrake root for several years, continuously, and in animal form.
13:27And once they changed back to human, all that information would be restored.
13:31Animoji are rare, and for one to stay in animal form for five years, regularly eating food containing
13:38Mandrake leaves, is nearly unheard of.
13:42Kyle glanced down at Peter in the cage.
13:44In fact, it's only happened once in a thousand years, well, twice now.
13:50Black started laughing again, his voice raspy.
13:54Professor Lupin turned to Kyle, watching him closely.
13:58Kyle, did you know Scabbers was Peter?
14:01Kyle looked back at him, eyes steady.
14:04Why would you think that?
14:05Because you're the only one here who didn't look the least bit surprised, Lupin replied.
14:11The rest of us, me, Harry, Ron, Hermione, we were all shocked when we learned Scabbers was
14:17Peter.
14:18But you seemed, very calm.
14:21The others all turned to look at Kyle, suspicion and curiosity in their eyes.
14:27Ron seemed to want to speak up, but Hermione held him back.
14:31Kyle shrugged.
14:32The reason I'm not surprised is because, this isn't the first time I've seen something like
14:37this happen.
14:38What?
14:40Professor Lupin said, caught off guard by Kyle's response.
14:44Actually, I saw something similar in my first year.
14:48Another student's pet also turned out to be an animagus, a rat, too, as it happens.
14:54Kyle chuckled.
14:56If you don't believe me, you can ask Fred and George or any of the students in fourth year
15:00or above, they all know about it.
15:03Everyone exchanged bewildered looks, their expressions a mix of amazement and disbelief.
15:09Harry and the others had entered school a year after Kyle, so they hadn't heard about
15:13any incidents like that.
15:16As for Professor Lupin, he was new to the school and had only heard the professors talk
15:20about Harry's more notable adventures.
15:22No one pressed Kyle further.
15:25Harry nodded as he listened, a faint smile on his face.
15:30After everything he'd seen so far, he realized he probably wouldn't be surprised by much at
15:35Hogwarts anymore, even if someone's head suddenly sprouted an extra face.
15:40The room grew silent, save for the gradually hoarse laughter still spilling from black.
15:45Harry felt a bit awkward, shifting where he stood.
15:48He looked at Professor Lupin, hesitating with a question on his lips but unsure how to ask
15:54it.
15:54But his expression must have been readable, because Lupin asked softly, you want to know
15:59about Lily and James, don't you?
16:01Yes, Harry replied, nodding eagerly.
16:05I heard you say earlier that you were friends.
16:08Best friends, Lupin said with a fond but pained smile.
16:12At least, they were to me.
16:15So, can you tell me?
16:17Harry asked, his voice urgent.
16:20What really happened?
16:22And what did you mean about the secret keeper?
16:25Professor Lupin hesitated for a moment, as if searching for the right words.
16:30Finally, he nodded.
16:33All right.
16:34You deserve to know the truth.
16:36But I only know the beginning of the story.
16:40Sirius will have to tell you the rest.
16:42He paused, then added, let me think where to start.
16:45I first met James and Lily when we were students here at Hogwarts.
16:51Hogwarts.
16:52I am such a model wizard.
16:55Chapter 433, Just Keep Knocking Professor Lupin shared stories of his school days, trivial memories,
17:01and everyday moments, but Harry listened with rapt attention.
17:05The tales painted a vivid picture of the friends his parents once had, and it was as if he could
17:10feel their presence through Lupin's words.
17:13When Lupin reached the end of his seventh year, he glanced at Sirius, a touch of sadness in
17:18his expression.
17:19After graduation, he had been busy working for Dumbledore, reaching out to other werewolves
17:24to rally them against Voldemort.
17:27He hadn't known about the events that unfolded soon afterward.
17:31By the time he returned, everything had changed.
17:35James and Lily were dead, Voldemort had fallen, and the once mighty Death Eater army was in
17:40shambles.
17:41The werewolves he had tried to ally with had also suffered heavy losses and vanished back
17:46into the shadows, refusing to be found.
17:49As Lupin fell silent, Black, who had drifted back to the ground, finally spoke.
17:55It all began with a prophecy.
17:58He murmured, sitting heavily on a rickety stool.
18:01With everyone watching him, he slowly began to reveal the painful truth of that time.
18:06He explained how Professor Trelawney had prophesied about a child with the power to defeat Voldemort,
18:12a child born at the end of July.
18:15Two babies fit that description that year, but in the end, Dumbledore had focused his protections
18:19on Harry.
18:21Somehow, though, word of the prophecy had leaked to the Death Eaters.
18:26Peter must have told them.
18:28Black spat, teeth gritted in anger.
18:31Dumbledore warned James to keep it a secret, but, he told us anyway.
18:36Harry's eyes were wide with apprehension.
18:39And then what happened?
18:41James and Lily took you and went into hiding from the Death Eaters, Black said, eyes distant
18:46with painful memories.
18:48Dumbledore suggested an ancient spell to protect you as you grew up, the Fidelius charm.
18:54It hides a secret in the mind of a chosen person, the secret keeper.
18:58For as long as the secret keeper doesn't willingly reveal it, the secret is safe.
19:03Even if Voldemort had stuck his nose right up to the door, he wouldn't have found them.
19:08As Black explained, Harry began to understand.
19:12So.
19:14Peter was the secret keeper, wasn't he?
19:16It's all my fault.
19:19Black groaned, pressing his fists to his head.
19:22I was supposed to be the secret keeper.
19:24But at the last minute, I convinced James and Lily to use Peter instead.
19:30I thought it would be clever, a double bluff.
19:33Voldemort would come after me first, and no one would suspect Peter, the weakest of us.
19:39I thought I was protecting them, but I sent them to their deaths instead.
19:44Black's voice became choked, and he struck his fist against his head as if trying to rid
19:48himself of the regret and self-loathing that had haunted him for years.
19:52Each time he was overtaken by anguish, he would remember Peter's current state and let
19:57out a harsh, hysterical laugh that was devoid of joy.
20:01When he finally regained control, he continued, answering the other's questions in short,
20:06strained sentences.
20:08He described how he'd seen a photo of Scabbers in the newspaper and instantly recognized him
20:13as Peter.
20:14That discovery had spurred his escape from Azkaban, using his inimigous form to slip past
20:19the guards and come to Hogwarts.
20:21So it was you, the dog.
20:24Harry exclaimed, pointing at Black.
20:27Yes, that was me, Black replied with a grin.
20:31I just wanted to see you.
20:33I went to Privet Drive, but I'm sorry if I frightened you.
20:37Harry didn't know how to respond.
20:39Black had unsettled him more than once, and the big black dog had kept him on edge for
20:45months.
20:46Serious, I'm sorry, Lupin said, stepping forward and embracing him.
20:51Long time no see, Remus, Black said, hugging him back.
20:56I wouldn't have blamed you for giving me a solid beating.
21:00I was just thinking the same thing, Lupin nodded, and without warning, he punched Black in the
21:05face.
21:06You should have told me sooner.
21:07Black stumbled backward, hitting the floor, but he only laughed.
21:13Lupin extended a hand, pulled him up, and the two hugged again.
21:18Forgive me, Remus.
21:20Black murmured.
21:22Nothing to forgive, Padfoot, old friend, Lupin replied.
21:26Now, perhaps you'll forgive me for once suspecting you were a spy.
21:30Of course, Black said, a weary smile crossing his face.
21:34I'm just sorry.
21:37But before he could finish, Kyle stepped forward, clearing his throat.
21:42It was getting late, and he wasn't keen to spend the night in a place like the Shrieking
21:46Shack.
21:47Handing Black the cage containing scabbers, Kyle said, he's all yours now, but as compensation,
21:53you'll need to get Ron a new pet.
21:55How about an owl?
21:57Black nodded without hesitation.
22:00Yes, of course.
22:02It's the least I can do.
22:05Ron, who had been looking miserable, suddenly perked up.
22:09If only he'd known.
22:10If he'd realized scabbers could be traded for an owl, he'd have given him up much sooner.
22:17Black's expression darkened as he took the cage, looking as though he'd like to devour
22:21scabbers then and there.
22:23He glanced at Kyle, about to thank him, but suddenly paused.
22:28I think I've seen you before, Black said thoughtfully.
22:31In Hogsmeade, you gave me a pack of jerky.
22:34It was the best thing I'd eaten in over ten years.
22:37Oh, that time, Kyle said, feigning a blank look.
22:42Well, you deserved it.
22:45That firewalking performance was impressive.
22:48A silence followed.
22:50Firewalking?
22:52Lupin looked at Black with a bemused expression.
22:55You know how to do that?
22:57Uh.
22:58Black's eyes shifted, but he quickly recovered, looking back with a defiant grin.
23:03After all, he'd been a dog at the time, what harm was there in jumping through hoops for
23:08food?
23:09Besides, it was all for survival.
23:13A chuckle escaped Lupin, unexpectedly loud in the quiet room.
23:17It was like setting off a chain reaction.
23:20Ron and Hermione quickly looked away, shoulders shaking.
23:24Ft.
23:25Harry, who had been lost in the intensity of the moment, couldn't help but laugh, covering
23:30his mouth quickly to stifle the sound.
23:33To redirect the focus, he asked, so, what are you going to do with Peter?
23:39Kill him, of course.
23:41Black replied, glaring at the unconscious rat in a cage.
23:45But I could also leave him like this, keep him a rat forever.
23:49Can he really not change back?
23:52Harry asked softly.
23:53I mean, someone like that isn't worth turning you into a real murderer.
23:59Peter was the real traitor.
24:01If anyone deserves to be in Azkaban, it's him, not you.
24:06Black's eyes reddened, and his breathing grew ragged.
24:09If he could prove Peter's guilt, he could finally clear his name and be there for Harry
24:13openly.
24:15But the problem was, Black wasn't sure if Peter could still change back.
24:20Everyone instinctively turned to Kyle.
24:22Actually, yes, Kyle said.
24:26After wizards discovered that Animoji could become trapped in their animal forms, they
24:31developed a few restorative potions.
24:34Do you remember the people who were petrified by the basilisk in second year?
24:38They all nodded.
24:40That year had been etched into their memories, Hogwarts had almost closed down because of
24:44it.
24:46The same potion that cured them, the Mandrake restorative draft, could restore Peter, Kyle
24:51explained.
24:52It's the only known remedy.
24:54He looked at the others' startled faces before continuing, but before you make a decision,
24:59I think it's best if you speak with Professor Dumbledore.
25:02Right now, everyone thinks you're a traitor, and they see Peter as a hero.
25:06No one will believe your story, and you won't even get a chance to defend yourself.
25:12The Dementors certainly won't listen.
25:15You're right, Black replied, calming slightly.
25:18I'll go see Dumbledore first thing tomorrow.
25:22No, you can go now, Kyle said with a smile.
25:26He doesn't sleep much.
25:27Just knock a few more times.
25:31Hogwarts.
25:32I am such a model wizard.
25:35Chapter 434, an awkward serious with their plan set, the group made their way back through
25:40the tunnel, preparing to head to Hogwarts under cover of night.
25:44Harry pulled out his invisibility cloak, ready to drape it over Black when they reached the
25:49castle.
25:50It was already curfew, and though students were unlikely to be wandering the corridors, caution
25:55was necessary until Black's innocence could be proven.
25:59After all, Filch was still lurking around the castle.
26:03Their journey back was much more relaxed than the tense, frantic trip they'd made earlier.
26:08Professor Lupin led the way, followed by Harry, Hermione, and Ron, who kept glancing over his
26:14shoulder, grinning whenever he looked at Black, who carried the cage with Peter securely in his arms.
26:20Kyle brought up the rear, making sure there was no chance of Peter breaking free,
26:25though he considered the possibility laughably slim.
26:28If a rat could escape so easily from one of his cages, he would have felt obliged to return
26:33his Order of Merlin, second class, in embarrassment.
26:37As they walked, Black, looking down at Harry, spoke quietly,
26:41Once we get Pettigrew to Dumbledore, do you know what that means?
26:45You're free, Harry said, a smile growing on his face.
26:49Yes.
26:51Black murmured, his voice a little choked.
26:53But there's more.
26:56I.
26:57I don't know if anyone's ever told you this, but.
27:01I'm your godfather.
27:03Oh, I know, Harry replied.
27:06He'd overheard Fudge mention it at the three broomsticks, though back then it had felt more
27:10unsettling than anything else.
27:13Now, though, hearing it directly from Black filled him with a strange happiness.
27:17For the first time, it felt like there was a world for him beyond the Desleys.
27:23It's true, your parents named me as your guardian, Black continued, sounding uncertain.
27:29You can think about it, of course, but, if I'm cleared of the charges, and if you want a different
27:34home.
27:36Harry's heart pounded as if he'd received another Hogwarts acceptance letter.
27:39You mean, live with you, he asked eagerly.
27:44So eager, in fact, that he accidentally hit his head on a low-hanging stone in the tunnel.
27:49Of course, Black replied quickly, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness.
27:54But if you'd rather stay with your aunt and uncle, I understand.
27:59I just thought, are you kidding?
28:01Harry's face was alight with joy.
28:03Of course I'd like to leave the Desleys.
28:07Do you have a house?
28:09When can I move in?
28:11You would?
28:12Black asked, his voice filled with wonder.
28:16Really?
28:17Yes, I really do.
28:20Harry said, grinning from ear to ear.
28:23Kyle noticed that Black's worn face had softened, breaking into a genuine smile that took years
28:28off his appearance.
28:29For the first time in ages, he looked younger, freer.
28:34They soon reached the end of the tunnel.
28:37Professor Lupin climbed up first and pressed a knot on the whomping willow's trunk, activating
28:41the switch that caused the tree to fall still, its violent branches frozen.
28:46One by one, they emerged from the tunnel.
28:49Black took a moment to stand under the moonlight, his arms stretched out, taking in the night
28:54air with a deep, contented breath.
28:57Come on, let's go.
28:59There'll be plenty of time for that later.
29:01Harry urged, eager to reach Dumbledore.
29:04They walked briskly across the castle grounds, their path illuminated by the castle lights
29:10that were beginning to come on.
29:12But as they moved forward, Professor Lupin, leading the group, suddenly stopped in his
29:17tracks.
29:18Harry and Ron, caught off guard, bumped into him from behind.
29:22What's wrong, Professor Lupin?
29:25Harry began, but his question was cut short as he felt himself being yanked backward, along
29:31with Ron.
29:32It was only then that they noticed Professor Lupin's entire body trembling uncontrollably.
29:37Oh no, it's a full moon.
29:41Hermione shrieked, a look of horror on her face.
29:44I forgot to tell you, Professor Lupin is a werewolf.
29:49W what?
29:50Ron stammered, his face pale as a shiver ran down his spine.
29:54There was no need for further confirmation, even as he watched, Lupin's head began to
30:00elongate, and brown fur sprouted across his exposed arms.
30:04Why didn't you tell us earlier?
30:06Ron managed to say, his teeth chattering.
30:09Run.
30:11Black hissed urgently.
30:13Run, all of you, run.
30:16Harry, Hermione, and Ron turned and sprinted down the tunnel.
30:19But Black, glancing back, was horrified to see Kyle still standing calmly in place, rummaging
30:26through his suitcase, half his body leaning into it.
30:30You.
30:31Black began, incredulous.
30:34Kyle simply waved a hand dismissively.
30:37It's fine, it's fine.
30:40Maybe Harry didn't tell you, but I earned my order of Merlin, second class, for defeating
30:45a werewolf.
30:45Lupin was still transforming, his body contorting and shifting, giving Kyle a few moments to
30:52search through his suitcase.
30:54He muttered to himself as he looked through various items.
30:58Norbert, no, too loud, and Lupin wouldn't be able to handle it.
31:03Mandrake root, effective, but with Harry and the others around, it's risky.
31:08Chomping cabbage, no, not suitable either.
31:11Finally, Kyle found what he was looking for, a large bundle of devil's snares.
31:17He had just pulled them out when Lupin completed his transformation into a full werewolf, rearing
31:22back on his hind legs, jaws snapping open in a fearsome growl.
31:27Suddenly, a large black dog leapt past Kyle, grabbing the werewolf by the neck and attempting
31:32to drag it backward.
31:33The two animals snarled and snapped at each other, claws slashing and jaws tearing.
31:40Kyle snapped out of his trance and quickly drew his wand, aiming it at the tangled figures.
31:46Achio!
31:47The devil's snare vines shot toward the werewolf and the dog, thick tendrils wrapping around
31:52them both, binding them in an instant like insects caught in a spider's web.
31:57Within moments, the werewolf and the dog were thoroughly immobilized.
32:01For a moment, an awkward silence settled over the scene.
32:06Sirius, still in dog form, gave a sheepish look as he realized he was caught in the vines,
32:11too.
32:13This is devil's snare.
32:15You should be able to break free, Kyle said, glancing at the dog.
32:19The black dog nodded and relaxed, slipping out of the vines with little effort.
32:24The werewolf, however, continued to struggle, causing the vines to tighten around it more and
32:30more.
32:31Where did you get this, thing?
32:33Black, now transformed back into his human form, looked at the massive devil's snare in
32:38disbelief.
32:40Your suitcase isn't that big.
32:42Well, it's a bit bigger on the inside, Kyle replied, holding up his pinky with a playful
32:47grin.
32:49Black looked at the devil's snare, now as large as a house, then at Kyle's small gesture,
32:54and shook his head, speechless.
32:57Kyle, however, was already thinking ahead.
33:00Looking at the immobilized werewolf, he considered his options.
33:05Why not try the mandric?
33:07The werewolf would likely just fall unconscious from the cry, similar to what had happened with
33:12the acromantula earlier.
33:13Even if the werewolf proved more resistant, he had over ten mandrakes in his suitcase.
33:19If one didn't work, he could try two, then three, until he found the right dose to knock
33:25out the werewolf.
33:26Dealing with a sleeping werewolf would be simple, he'd just need a levitation charm to
33:31get it to Dumbledore's office.
33:32As Kyle set about conjuring several thick pairs of earmuffs to hand to Harry and the others,
33:38he suddenly noticed the air growing colder.
33:41The moonlight seemed to dim ominously.
33:44Looking up sharply, Kyle saw a black cloud spreading along the shore of the lake, advancing
33:50rapidly toward them.
33:52Hogwarts.
33:52I am such a model wizard.
33:56Chapter 435, let's negotiate they were Dementors, at least a hundred of them, black and menacing,
34:02swarming along the shore like a dark cloud.
34:06More and more appeared from all directions, closing in on Kyle and the others, their chilling
34:10presence thickening the air.
34:13Kyle shot a look at Black, who was crouched on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, covering
34:18his head in terror.
34:20Change back, quick!
34:22Kyle shouted.
34:23Do you want Harry to die here?
34:26Hearing Harry's name, Black's crumbling spirit steadied just enough.
34:31He transformed, his body twisting into the form of a large, black dog.
34:36The Dementors closed in, their faces hidden beneath tattered hoods, their withered hands
34:41reaching toward Kyle and the others.
34:43The air became colder than ever, as if it wanted to freeze them where they stood.
34:48Expecto Patronum!
34:51Kyle shouted, waving his wand.
34:54A large, glowing silver jellyfish appeared above him, its pulsating tentacles casting a
34:59bright light in all directions.
35:01The freezing air receded as a ring of warmth spread out from the Patronus.
35:06But there were simply too many Dementors.
35:09They hovered just outside the protective circle, reluctant to retreat.
35:13One Dementor even extended a bony, decayed hand, trying to push through the Patronus' light.
35:20Then, suddenly, a thin, silver ribbon appeared, one of the jellyfish's long, delicate tentacles.
35:27It floated forward and wrapped around the Dementor's arm, tightening in an instant.
35:31The Dementor struggled, its ragged breaths rattling in the silence.
35:37Harry watched in awe.
35:39The tentacles of Kyle's Patronus were extending further, wrapping around Dementors one by one.
35:45The silver jellyfish remained luminous and beautiful, but there was a strange, unsettling
35:50power in the way it ensnared the creatures.
35:53Nearly a dozen Dementors hung Medare, struggling against the Patronus' grasp, as dark mist poured
35:59from where they were entangled.
36:01The sight was even more eerie than watching Professor Lupin transform into a werewolf.
36:06Panicked, the Dementors scattered, retreating frantically to the edges of the light.
36:11But one Dementor hovered in place, seeming to act as their leader.
36:16It made a strange, rasping sound that Kyle didn't understand, as though signaling the others.
36:22Leave.
36:23Kyle commanded, stepping forward, his Patronus' light intensifying.
36:28The Dementor stopped, its hollow voice echoing coldly.
36:32Leave, wizards.
36:34It tried to edge closer to Kyle, only to be halted by the Patronus.
36:39Yes, but you must go now, Kyle said firmly.
36:43And you must not report anything of this to the Ministry.
36:47The Dementor paused, appearing slightly taken aback, as if surprised Kyle could communicate
36:52with it.
36:53We have our orders.
36:54Sirius Black, it is an order.
36:58He's already gone, Kyle replied calmly.
37:01You can check if you don't believe me.
37:04The Dementor took a long, rattling breath, then stepped back, conceding.
37:09Let go, let us go.
37:12Fine, Kyle said after a moment.
37:14He gave his Patronus a silent command, and the jellyfish's tentacles began to release
37:20the trapped Dementors.
37:22The Dementors drifted away, their cloaks looking even more tattered, their bodies seeming smaller
37:27than before.
37:29As if sensing an opportunity to escape, they quickly fled into the darkness, vanishing
37:33like shadows.
37:35Kyle touched his nose, feeling a mix of surprise and relief.
37:39He'd only instructed his Patronus to fend off the Dementors, not expecting it to work quite
37:44so effectively.
37:46You promised not to tell, Kyle reminded the Dementor, his tone firm.
37:51We, have been injured.
37:54Came the Dementor's cold, emotionless voice.
37:57Are you trying to back out?
38:00Kyle frowned.
38:01Don't forget, you were the ones who broke into the school first and tried to attack students
38:06and professors.
38:07We were only defending ourselves.
38:10There is, a scent of Sirius Black here.
38:13We have orders, to arrest.
38:16And where is Sirius now?
38:19Kyle pressed.
38:20The Dementor fell silent, taking another slow, rattling breath, but still failing to detect
38:26any trace of black scent.
38:28So, it seems you've been mistaken from the beginning, Kyle said with a faint smile.
38:33We have orders, to check.
38:36The Dementor responded weakly.
38:39Kyle gave a soft laugh.
38:41Do you think Professor Dumbledore will accept that excuse?
38:45By the way, you do know who Dumbledore is, don't you?
38:49One of the most powerful wizards around.
38:52Probably stronger than any wizard you've ever encountered.
38:54The Dementor visibly shuddered, apparently recalling its last encounter with Dumbledore.
39:01After the incident on the Quidditch pitch, Dumbledore had returned in a fury, banishing every Dementor
39:06from the school grounds.
39:08Then feel free to report to the ministry, Kyle continued, glancing at Harry, Ron, and
39:14Hermione, who were still huddled together, shivering.
39:17The students were terrified, and we were only protecting ourselves.
39:22Even the ministry can't argue with that.
39:25He lowered his voice conspiratorially.
39:28But your case is different, breaking into the school, attacking students and professors.
39:34I doubt Professor Dumbledore will let that slide this time.
39:38Kyle turned to leave, muttering just loudly enough for the Dementors to hear, that old wizard
39:43has quite the temper.
39:45If he gets angry enough, he might take down a few hundred Dementors just to blow off steam.
39:51As he spoke, one of the Dementors floated forward, blocking his path.
39:55Anything else you'd like to add?
39:58Kyle asked.
39:59The Dementor remained silent, standing motionless in his way.
40:03Fine, Kyle sighed.
40:06I'll ignore what happened tonight, on one condition.
40:10The Dementors' hollow voice rasped, what, condition?
40:14Kyle's eyes gleamed as an idea took shape.
40:17Originally, he'd only wanted the Dementors gone, but now he saw an opportunity.
40:23He thought for a moment and said, there's someone named Bellatrix in Azkaban who has a
40:28key.
40:29I need you to tell me where that key is kept.
40:32Impossible.
40:34The Dementor replied, its voice colder than before.
40:37It is forbidden.
40:39And we do not, understand the key.
40:42Is that so?
40:44Kyle said, feigning disappointment.
40:47Well, it looks like I'll just have to tell Dumbledore.
40:51The Dementor floated back in front of Kyle, blocking his way once more.
40:55That's all I'm asking, Kyle said simply.
40:59Tomorrow, a guard rotation.
41:02The Dementor rasped, I can, take you, there.
41:06Kyle's mouth twitched.
41:08There was no way he was setting foot in Azkaban, it would be far too risky, and if the ministry
41:13found out, he'd be in serious trouble.
41:16But, a rotation.
41:17How often is the guard rotated?
41:21Kyle asked, curious.
41:24Every, two days.
41:26So, in two days, you'll be back here.
41:30Kyle clarified.
41:32The Dementor nodded slowly.
41:34There is no, food here.
41:37I must, go back.
41:39Kyle's eyes lit up with an idea.
41:42After a quick bit of preparation, he handed the Dementor an envelope and a small vial.
41:47Mix what's in the bottle into her food.
41:50After she's eaten it, open the envelope and listen carefully to what she says.
41:54Then, when you return, tell me everything.
41:59And don't try anything sneaky, or I'll not only inform Professor Dumbledore about tonight's
42:04little trespass, but I'll make sure the ministry hears you purposely let Sirius Black escape.
42:08And believe me, they'll believe it.
42:12The confidence in Kyle's tone was undeniable.
42:15Once Sirius was free, he could file a complaint himself, claiming the Dementors had failed in
42:21their duties.
42:22The ministry wouldn't have any choice but to take it seriously.
42:26The Dementor trembled slightly, as if realizing the implications.
42:31With a rigid, withered hand, it reached out, grasping the envelope and the small vial slowly
42:36before drifting away into the darkness.
