"So, this is why you think Sirius Black is not looking for Harry?" Although Professor McGonagall thinks Ona is reasonable, she also mentioned that perhaps Sirius’ goal is to rest all Gryffindors. All the students in the room were killed in order to achieve the possibility of killing Harry.

"I heard one thing-about what Hagrid mentioned, his motorcycle was left to him by Sirius-if he wanted to attack Harry at the time, I think the success rate would be higher, right?"

"But he killed the Potters." Professor McGonagall said with confidence.

"Why?" Ona asked knowingly.

"Because he is the secret of the Potters." Professor Dumbledore said.

"Curse of Courageous Loyalty?" Ona wouldn't pretend to be ignorant.

"Yes." Professor Dumbledore glanced at Ona.

"I'm considering a possibility-it's the betrayal of Harry's parents, maybe it's not Black." Ona's words were so shocking that Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were both stunned.

"What do you mean?" Professor Dumbledore became serious immediately. He didn't believe that Sirius Black would betray James at first, but Sirius insisted that he killed the Potters himself, so he couldn't help it.

"Although I don't know what happened back then, I don't understand a little bit-if Sirius Black really took refuge in Voldemort, first he would not let Harry be picked up by Hagrid, and secondly, I watched The newspaper said that he had dealt with an inexplicable wizard-Peter Pettigrew, didn’t he?"

"Yes, what you didn't know was that they were a small group at school, just like you and Harry. At the time they had four people, James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and One is...Professor Lupin." Professor McGonagall was a little lost, and she also realized that something was a bit illogical.

"What do you think of the four of them?" Ona asked persuasively.

"There is no doubt that James is the leader, and Blake is his best brother. The ingenuity of the two is rare. Lupin is also good, and Peter is slightly worse." Professor Dumbledore commented.

"Three gods bring a pit?" Ona concluded.

"Interesting, it's like this." Professor Dumbledore understood. "You mean that Sirius Black used his body as bait at the beginning, and then actually assigned the identity of the secret to the most inconspicuous dwarf Peter?"

"I guessed so-because Sirius went to hunt down Peter Pettigrew in the end. Only this possibility is justified!" Ona nodded, "Assuming that Harry is facing the same problem now, he must think of it the first time. It's me or Ron, that is Sirius Black or Professor Lupin, then suppose-we still have a choice, such as Neville, would no one think that Neville might be a confidential person?"

"That's right!" Professor McGonagall suddenly enlightened and shouted out, "The most inconspicuous should be the safest. With the clever mind of Sirius, this plan should be proposed!"

"So..." A murderous look flashed in Professor Dumbledore's eyes, "Sirius went to hunt down Pettigrew because he realized that Pettigrew betrayed Potter! And he didn't deny that he killed Potter himself, yes. Because he proposed to let Dwarf Star be the Secret Keeper!"

"Yes." Ona shrugged, "This is the most logical conclusion I have obtained by combining all the known conditions."

"But..." Professor Dumbledore had already believed Ona's reasoning, after all, he knew the situation better. "If this is the case, why did Sirius suddenly escape from prison-what did he find?"

"Yes, what was the reason Sirius broke into Hogwarts?" Professor McGonagall had a vague guess.

"I am boldly guessing-if Sirius finds out that the person he thought he had succeeded in revenge is actually still alive?" Ona said slowly.

This sentence exploded like a bolt from the blue sky, Professor McGonagall was dumbfounded, and Professor Dumbledore's face sank: "Mr. Clough, is there a basis for this sentence?"

"First of all, it's not the first time that Harry appeared in the Daily Prophet-Professor Lockhart's edition was a big hit last year. I believe that even if the news about Sirius is blocked, he would have known it a long time ago. Then the problem lies in it. Where? Secondly, I heard one thing-Sirius started to behave abnormally only after seeing the news that the Weasley family won the prize. Then, there must be something wrong with that picture." Ona said leisurely. "I brought that newspaper. Take a look."

Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall took a closer look at the photo, and apart from the Weasley family, no other people appeared on it.

"We didn't see any problems." Professor McGonagall said straightforwardly.

"Speaking of it, I didn't think about where Sirius Black would find the problem at first, until I stepped into your classroom again, I realized a possibility."

"You mean..." Professor McGonagall was inexplicable, and then Professor Dumbledore said: "Animagus."

"Animagus?!" Professor McGonagall thought of something immediately and began to study: "You mean, this mouse?"

"Speaking of it, I've always been curious about it." Ona shrugged. "The life span of a typical mouse is about three years, and I remember Ron told me that this mouse was given to him from Percy. Yes, according to this calculation, at least it has been almost seven years-this is not in accordance with the normal law."

Professor Dumbledore remembered that when he did observe the Gryffindor boys’ dormitory in the first half of the year, he noticed the abnormality of this mouse. Ona mentioned it at the time, but he didn’t take it seriously. Cautiously appeared in every corner, as if listening carefully to all the students’ conversations, and seeing it drag Ron’s things to a certain corner with his own eyes—and then he didn’t see where those things went—he thought it was. It is the nature of the mouse that it feels unusual now.

"Let’s catch it and have a try!" Professor McGonagall said murderously. An Animagus stayed under her nose for six years and she hadn’t found any flaws, which made her faceless. .

"Be calm and restless." Professor Dumbledore's eyes shone in his eyes. "We still don't have any conclusive evidence that he is Peter Pettigrew — there is no evidence that it is even an Animagus. He needs one to himself. The timing of proactive exposure-and the presence of someone from the Ministry of Magic is needed for everything to come to light."

"Is there anything I need to do?" Ona asked.

"No, no, Mr. Clough." Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall shook their heads immediately, "After all, he is an adult wizard, and he is a dark wizard who has taken refuge in the Dark Lord. You don't need to take risks and keep the status quo. What's more, You are also very busy now." Professor Dumbledore pointed to the time converter on Ona's neck and said with a smile.

"Okay, I get it." Ona nodded, "Then I'll go first."

Professor McGonagall left with Ona. Professor Dumbledore meditated alone in the office. After a while, he spoke: "Fox, call Lupin and Snape for me."
