After making the decision, several people set off immediately, preparing to go to Hogwarts under the cover of night.
Harry also took out the Invisibility Cloak, ready to put it on Black when he returned to the castle.
Although it is curfew now and there are basically no students around, it is better to be careful until Blake clears his name.
What's more, there is a Filch in the castle.
Several people returned to the tunnel.
But unlike the stressful time on the way here, the return trip was much easier.
Professor Lupin walked in front, followed by Harry, Hermione and Ron, looking back from time to time, and then Black, who was holding Peter's cage tightly in his hands.
Kyle walked at the back to prevent Peter from suddenly breaking free from the cage and running out... although this situation was almost impossible to happen.
If a rat could escape from his cage so easily, Kyle might as well return the Order of Merlin, Second Class, to avoid embarrassment.
The journey back was relatively smooth and everyone was in good order.
"Hand over Pettigrew." As they slowly moved forward in the tunnel, Black suddenly said to Harry, "Do you know what this means?"
"You're free," Harry said over his shoulder.
"Yes..." Blake said, "but I also... I don't know if anyone has told you... I am your godfather."
"Yeah, I know," said Harry.
He had heard Fudge talk about it during the Three Broomsticks, but at the time he had only thought of it as a disgrace that made him feel sick.
But now when he heard the news, he felt an inexplicable joy.
Finally, his life no longer consisted only of the Dursley family.
"It's like this... your parents appointed me as your guardian." Blake said unnaturally: "Well... you can consider it... if I clear my name... if you want a different home..."
Harry felt his heart beat twice, as if he had received a second Hogwarts admission letter.
"You mean... live with you?" he said, and in his excitement he accidentally hit his head on a rock at the top of the tunnel.
"Of course, if you want to live with your aunt and uncle... I can understand that," Blake said quickly, his tone a little awkward. "I just want..."
"Are you confused?" Harry was delighted. "Of course I want to leave the Dursleys. Do you have a house? When can I move in?"
"You do?" he asked. "Really?"
"Yeah, I really do," said Harry.
Kyle noticed that a smile from the heart blossomed on Blake's haggard face, and the whole person seemed to have broken free from the withered mask and looked more than ten years younger.
At this time, they also reached the entrance of the tunnel.
Professor Lupin was the first to jump up and put his hand on the knot on the tree trunk.
This knot is a bit like the switch of the Whomping Willow. Just press it and it will remain quiet.
Afterwards, other people also walked out of the tunnel one after another.
Blake stood in the moonlight with his arms outstretched, greedily embracing the night breeze.
"Let's go quickly, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future..." said Harry. He was already a little impatient to meet Dumbledore.
They walked quickly across the grounds, and the lights in the castle gradually came on...
But as they walked, Professor Lupin, who was in the front, suddenly stopped, and Ron and Harry bumped into him.
"What's wrong, Professor Lupin..."
Before Harry could finish his words, he was roughly pulled back... and the same happened to Ron.
Only then did they notice that Professor Lupin's body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Oh no... today's a full moon." Hermione screamed, "I forgot to tell you, Professor Lupin is a werewolf!"
"What did you say?" Ron felt a chill all over his body.
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!" Ron's teeth were chattering.
"Run!" Blake whispered. "Run, run!"
The three of them ran to the back, but when Blake turned around, he was horrified to find that Kyle was still standing there... rummaging through a box, with half of his body almost sticking inside.
"you……"
He was about to say something when Kyle waved his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay. Maybe Harry didn't tell you that I got the Order of Merlin, Second Class, by defeating a werewolf."
There was still some time before Professor Lupin completely turned into a werewolf, and Kyle calmly rummaged through his box.
Norbert... don't consider it. It will make too much noise if it is released, and Professor Lupin probably won't be able to withstand it.
Mandrake... With the werewolf's resistance, he shouldn't be able to die, but Harry and the others are around, so forget it.

Biting kale…is not really suitable either.
After looking around, Kyle finally found what he was looking for.
He pulled a large bunch of vines out of the box, and at this time, Professor Lupin had completely transformed into a werewolf.
The werewolf stood up on its hind legs, opening and closing its long mouth, and making a terrible roar.
A big black dog jumped past Kyle, bit the werewolf's neck, and tried to drag it back. The dog and the wolf bit each other, clawing at each other...
Kyle was stunned. When he came to his senses, he immediately used his magic wand to throw the large bunch of vines over.
“Fly around!”
The vines hit them, and the thick tendrils immediately became restless after being attacked, and began to twist and entangle.
Just like a flying insect that accidentally entered a spider web, in just a moment, the werewolf and the big dog were tightly entangled by the vines, unable to move.
The scene was a little awkward for a moment.
Sirius, in particular, suddenly found that he seemed to be in the way.
"This is a devil's snare, you should be able to break free, right?" Kyle asked.
The big dog nodded, then relaxed his body and broke free from the vines.
The werewolf was still struggling violently, and the vines around it were getting tighter and tighter.
"Where did you get this thing from?" Black, who had released his Animagus, asked in disbelief, "Your box isn't that big."
"Hmm... the inside of the box is a little bigger than it looks." Kyle stretched out his little finger to gesture.
Blake looked at the Devil's Snare in front of him that was as big as a house, then looked at the gestures made by Kyle, and was speechless.
Is this a little bigger? But Kyle didn't plan to explain so much. He looked at the werewolf who was turned into a dumpling and was a little worried about how to get rid of him.
How about trying Mandrake?
It is very likely that the werewolf will not die after hearing the cry of the Mandrake. At most, he will fall into a coma, just like the Acromantula before.
Even though its resistance is higher than that of the Acromantula, there are more than a dozen pots of Mandrake in the box. If it doesn't work, just cry two together. If that still doesn't work, add more. You can always find the right amount for a werewolf.
Dealing with an unconscious werewolf was much easier. All it took was a simple floating spell to take it to Dumbledore's headmaster's office.
The more Kyle thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
But just when he conjured up a few pairs of thick earmuffs and was about to give them to Harry and the others, he suddenly felt a chill around him, and the moonlight became much dimmer.
Kyle raised his head suddenly and saw a "dark cloud" in the distance, rapidly spreading towards this side along the lake.
