After Tom threw Sirius to the ground, he changed back to his human form. Seeing the incredible look in Sirius's eyes, Tom spread his hands: He is just gifted, isn't it strange?
Of course it was very strange! Sirius had never heard of any little wizard who could turn into a phoenix!
"Do you think you're the only one who secretly learned the Animagus?" Tom rolled his eyes.
But looking at the look in Sirius's eyes, it was obvious that he felt that Tom did not belong to the category of Animagus.
call out!
Tom waved his wand and tied Sirius tightly with vines from a nearby tree. Then he lifted the petrifying spell on Sirius.
Sirius suddenly felt that the muscles all over his body relaxed, and he stretched out. He wanted to move his hands and feet, but found that the vines were quite tight, and he could not break free for a while.
After struggling for two times, he gave up. After staring at Tom for a while, he suddenly said: "I have never seen a wizard who can turn into a phoenix through animagus!"
"Phoenix?" Tom showed a surprised expression, "I obviously turned into a bird of paradise!"
Sirius:?
People are like this. They remember clearly in their minds, but they become suspicious after being asked once by others or themselves. For example, after walking out of the house, they always hesitate: Is the solar water supply valve closed? Is the water supply in the house closed?
Has the electric heating been turned off? Is the door locked? Then I was disturbed by these questions that appeared out of nowhere.
This phenomenon happened to Sirius. He thought about it, but found that the appearance of the animal that the little wizard turned into was not so clear in his memory. He only remembered that it was a big fiery red bird, but there was no one there.
It is stipulated that the big fiery red bird must be a phoenix.
"My animagus form is a bird of paradise," Tom lied without blushing, as if he could really turn into a bird of paradise.
The bird of paradise is a brightly colored bird. At first glance, it looks a bit like a phoenix, but it is a little smaller. But Sirius has never seen a real bird of paradise, so naturally he cannot expose Tom's lies.
"Well," Sirius gradually understood everything: the boy turned into a big bird and took himself to the Forbidden Forest.
After figuring out this joint, Sirius sighed and glanced at Tom, "How did you see through my identity? Not many people in the world know that I am an Animagus."
More than just a few! In Sirius's eyes, apart from himself, only two people in the world knew his identity as an Animagus: Peter Pettigrew and Lupin. Peter Pettigrew himself had already hidden himself like a rat in the gutter.
Come on, could this child’s source of information be... Lu Ping?
His eyes dimmed suddenly. In the past, he would never have had such an idea. Who is Lupine? He is my good friend and brother! How could he betray me? But today, after experiencing Peter's
After the betrayal, Sirius had a crisis of trust.
If Peter could betray James, would Lupine betray him and Sirius? He suddenly didn't want to know the answer from Tom, he was afraid of hearing Lupine's name from his mouth.
Sirius sighed: "Forget it, you're lucky...you want to hand me over to the dementors, right? What a lucky little guy, my bounty from the Ministry of Magic is not low! Maybe you
You can also exchange it for the Medal of Merlin or something like that..."
"That's not true," Tom shook his head, looking quite interested, "I have no intention of handing you over to the Ministry of Magic. Your value cannot be measured by medals and gold galleons."
Looking at Sirius's expression, Tom also understood his thoughts, "As for the fact that you are an Animagus, I deduced it."
"Reasoning?" Sirius was stunned. This word was a bit unfamiliar to him and a bit difficult to understand. How could a third-year wizard think of something that so many elites in the Ministry of Magic had not thought of?
Of course Tom didn't reason it out. He shot the arrow first and then drew the target, and of course he shot accurately. By working backwards from the results, he would definitely be able to do what others couldn't.
"I'm an Animagus too!" Tom gave a very convincing reason. "I accidentally discovered that the dementors didn't seem to have much interest in me turning into an animal, so I made a bold move.
Speculation: Sirius is an unregistered Animagus."
"Oh!" A look of sudden realization appeared on Sirius's face, "Indeed, as long as he is an Animagus and has seen a Dementor in the form of Animagus, it is very easy to have such a conjecture.
Reasonable... I didn’t expect that there actually are little wizards in Hogwarts who, like us, secretly learned Animagus transformation.”
"After seeing the big black dog you turned into, I concluded almost immediately that the big black dog was turned into by a wizard," Tom continued, "Your behavior is too abnormal. Ordinary stray dogs
I'm not in the mood to watch a Quidditch match in the rain."
Sirius smiled at Tom, but it was more like baring his teeth than a smile. Looking at Sirius's exposed white teeth, Tom felt horrified.
Sirius didn't bother to explain to a strange little wizard his feelings for Harry. He was more concerned about another thing.
"I am a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Magic. You, a student at school, didn't intend to hand me over to the Ministry of Magic after you caught me?" He stared at Tom's eyes, trying to see something in them.
It's a pity that he can't see the thoughts behind those eyes at all. Tom's eyes are like a lock, locking his inner world tightly, leaving no trace of prying eyes for outsiders.
Somehow, he thought of Dumbledore's eyes, but he quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. How could a little clever wizard be compared with Professor Dumbledore?
Finally he gave up, and Sirius muttered: "The little wizards now are much more courageous than I was back then."
Sirius felt that by changing the place and reversing the situation between the two, he should have contacted the dementors, right? No matter how deviant he was, his dislike of dark wizards remained unchanged.
"I'm not in the habit of sending innocent people to jail to make money."
The words that came out of Tom's mouth were like thunder in Sirius's ears.
