Facts have proved that Ye Ting's guess is quite accurate.

Fudge did bring a newspaper to Black when he inspected Azkaban, but now that newspaper has disappeared with Black's escape, but Dumbledore found an identical copy for reference.

It was a"Daily Prophet". After Ye Ting turned around, one of the news immediately caught his attention: a staff member of the Ministry of Magic won a grand prize, and Arthur Weasley, Director of the Department for Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Items at the Ministry of Magic, won The Daily Prophet's annual Galleon Award. An elated Mr Weasley told a reporter from the Daily Prophet:"We will spend the money on a summer trip to Egypt. Our eldest son Bill is in Egypt doing spell-breaking work for Gringotts Wizarding Bank." The Weasleys will be staying in Egypt for a month. Come back before Hogwarts starts. There are currently five Weasley children attending school there.

Ye Ting also saw a photo. In the photo, nine members of the Weasley family were standing in front of the pyramid, all waving vigorously, and couldn't help but smile on their faces. Mrs. Weasley is small and plump, the bald Mr. Weasley is tall, and all six of their sons and one daughter have fiery red hair (although you can't tell from this black-and-white photo). Ron stands in the middle of the photo, tall and thin, with his pet mouse Scabbers on his shoulders and his arm around his sister Ginny.

However, although news about Ron was found in the newspapers, it was also mentioned that he would be attending Hogwarts. But Dumbledore still couldn't figure out why Black would choose to escape from prison? And chased him all the way to Hogworth.

Faced with this question, Ye Ting pretended to ponder for a while, and then suddenly said"Hey" as if she had discovered something.

"I noticed something, Professor. He turned to Dumbledore with a surprised expression on his face,"Did you notice?" This rat on Ron's shoulder, look at his front paws.

The mouse was missing a finger on its front paw.

Dumbledore took a breath. Ye Ting could swear that he had never seen such a gloomy expression on Dumbledore's face.

"I have a bold idea."Ye Ting put on a serious expression and said to Dumbledore,"I still remember that you mentioned it in your memory. James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin were best friends at Hogwarts and called themselves the Marauders. I guess they all have Animagus abilities. In other words, the four of them secretly learned the Animagus together - except maybe Professor Lupine, because he is a werewolf himself."

"Ah, you actually discovered this. Dumbledore interjected,"I'm sorry that a werewolf came to be the professor, but he is indeed a good choice, isn't he?""

"Oh yeah, that's obvious isn't it? Professor Snape once invited me to help him refine Wolfsbane potion, and he has been hinting this among the students. Oh, by the way, even Miss Granger has discovered the truth, but we will not tell it."Ye Ting winked at Dumbledore and continued:"We can guess that Peter Pettigrew's Animagus is a mouse. That's why he was able to fake death and escape everyone's search for 12 years. Sirius Black also escaped from Azkaban through the power of Animagus. And sneaking into Hogwarts again and again. You know, Dementors have never been interested in animals."

"Yes, yes, that explains everything. Phineas in the photo frame also showed a happy expression,"It must have been through this newspaper that Blake discovered the traces of Peter Pettigrew, and it was precisely because of this that he took the risk of escaping from Azkaban." He was hunting down Peter Pettigrew to avenge James Potter. I knew that my great-great-grandson must be innocent"

"But this is all just speculation on our part, isn’t it?"Dumbledore reminded him calmly

"Yes, yes, but that's easy to verify, isn't it? Phineas said happily

"certainly."Ye Ting nodded easily,"We can ask Professor Lu Ping. If my guess is correct, I believe Professor Lu Ping will be very happy to tell us the truth. After all, he doesn’t want to see his friends of many years suffer unjust injustice."

According to Ye Ting's tip, Dumbledore soon discovered something.

Dumbledore learned from Ron that the mouse in the photo of the Daily Prophet was his pet Scabbers, but according to Ron , his mouse Scabbers disappeared a few days ago, and there were some blood stains and a few cat hairs on his bed. Now he is tracing the culprit who killed Scabbers through the cat hair. In addition, Dumbledore also discovered a fatal Facts - Scabbers has been with the Weasley family for twelve years, and seems to have been sick since last summer vacation. Ron also bought some rat strength medicine for Scabbers in Diagon Alley. You know, ordinary mice But it couldn't live for twelve years, and when it began to languish, it was after the news of Black's escape from prison appeared.

On the other hand, Professor Lupine also received good news - at least for Phineas - After listening to Ye Ting's conjecture and seeing the newspaper, Lu Ping suddenly showed a sad expression and almost shed tears. Then, he confessed a secret that he had held for many years in front of Ye Ting and Dumbledore.

"I was very young when I was bitten by a werewolf. My parents tried everything, but at that time it was hopeless. The potion that Professor Snape prepared for me was only recently discovered. You know, this drug made me safe. However, before I discovered Wolfsbane Potion, I turned into a full-blown wolf once a month. There was no way I would have come to Hogwarts, and there was no way other parents would be willing to let their children come into contact with me.

"But then Dumbledore became the headmaster and he provided me with defense measures." Lupine sighed and cast a grateful look at Dumbledore."Hogwarts planted a whomping willow for me. , there is another secret passage under the tree leading to the Shrieking Shack. Every month I go there to transform."

"Becoming a werewolf is extremely painful. When I wanted to bite, I stayed away from people, so I bit myself and scratched myself. However, at that time, apart from being deformed, I was happier than before. I had friends for the first time, three good friends. Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and of course James Potter."
