[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Snape]] had found [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]]'s [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Invisibility Cloak|Invisibility Cloak]] by the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Whomping Willow|Whomping Willow]]. He was bringing [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Remus Lupin|Lupin]] his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Wolfsbane Potion|Wolfsbane potion]] when he noticed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Marauder's Map|a very interesting map]] on Lupin's desk that confirmed his suspicion Lupin was helping [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Black]]. Snape magically binds Lupin before he can explain, then insists everyone return to the castle so he can have a word with the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementors]]. Harry blocks the door, demanding Snape listen. When Snape refuses, Harry [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expelliarmus|disarms]] him, helped by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] and, surprisingly, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]]. Their triple-force spell tosses Snape against the wall and knocks him out.
 
Harry still doubts Lupin's story. Lupin makes Ron hand over [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Scabbers|Scabbers]], though Ron protests that even if [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Peter Pettigrew]] assumes a rat form, why would it be Scabbers? Black explains that when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cornelius Fudge|Fudge]] visited him at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Azkaban|Azkaban]], he gave him the newspaper containing the Weasley family photograph. Black recognized Pettigrew (as Scabbers) in the photo by his missing toe. Pettigrew severed his finger before killing the Muggles, then, shouting that Black murdered [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|James]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|Lily]] for bystanders to hear, Pettigrew blew up the street. Amid the chaos, he transformed, disappearing into the sewer, his severed finger left behind as evidence he was dead. Lupin points out that Scabbers has been in the Weasley family for twelve years, whereas a common rat lives only three or four. Lupin observes that Scabbers is looking unwell, though Ron claims it is stress caused by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Crookshanks|"that mad cat"]] going after him all the time. Harry figures differently: Scabbers was already looking ill in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Diagon Alley|Diagon Alley]], and before Hermione bought Crookshanks, presumably because he had heard about Black's escape.
 
Crookshanks recognized Pettigrew for what he was. He had also spotted Black and initially distrusted him, but helped him once he understood what Black's purpose was. Unable to bring Scabbers to Sirius, Crookshanks stole Neville's password list and later told Black that Scabbers had vanished, leaving blood and hairs on Ron's sheets. AfterBlack believed Peter had gone into hiding again; after all, appearing dead had worked once before.
 
Just as Black is about to kill Pettigrew, Harry says Black was his parents' [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Fidelius|Secret-Keeper]] and he betrayed them. Black claims he was responsible for their deaths, but was not the Secret -Keeper; he had persuaded James and Lily to switch Secret-Keepers, using Pettigrew rather than him, believing no one would suspect a weak Wizardwizard like Pettigrew. When Black checked on Pettigrew's hiding place and found him missing without any apparent struggle, he feared something had happened. He went to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Godric's Hollow|Godric's Hollow]], and finding James and Lily's bodies amid their destroyed house, realized Pettigrew betrayed the Potters to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]].
 
Lupin calls a halt, and he and Black cast a spell that transforms Scabbers into a human: a short man with vaguely rat-like features, colorless hair, and a large bald spot—it is Peter Pettigrew. When Lupin demands an explainationexplanation about the night James and Lily died, Pettigrew feebly claims he faked his death because he feared Black, after betryaingbetraying the Potters, would also come after him, and he possessed powers that "He Who Must Not Be Named" taught him. Black responds that Voldemort's followers are unhappy with Pettigrew, that Voldemort went to the Potters' on Pettigrew's information and died there. The [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eaters]] in Azkaban think Pettigrew double-crossed Voldemort, and many are still at large. Lupin asks why an innocent man would stay hidden for twelve years. Pettigrew claims he was scared because he put Voldemort's top lieutenant, Sirius Black, in Azkaban. Sirius angrily reminds Pettigrew that he (Pettigrew) was the Potter's Secret-Keeper.
 
Black states that Pettigrew never harmed Harry because he would never risk acting on Voldemort's behalf unless he knew Voldemort could protect him. Black kept his sanity in Azkaban by changing into a dog when things became unbearable. A dog's simpler thoughts are less affected by the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementors]] than a human's. Dementors are blind and were unable to detect him transforming. Instead, they sense and navigate towards emotions. When Black recognized Pettigrew's Animagus form in the photograph, he vowed to expose the traitor. As a dog, he was able to evade the Dementors during his escape. He journeyed north to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] and lived in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Forbidden Forest|Forbidden Forest]], emerging to watch the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Quidditch|Quidditch matches]].
 
Harry is finally convinced that Black is innocent. Pettigrew's pleas for mercy are ignored, and he admits to serving the Dark Lord, because heVoldemort would have killed him if he resisted. Black says he should have died for his friends, as they would have done for him. Lupin and Black prepare to execute Peter, but Harry intervenes to protect his father's two best friends from becoming murderers; Pettigrew will be turned over to the Dementors. Black and Lupin relent, and Lupin binds Pettigrew and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ferula|splints]] Ron's leg. Black warns Pettigrew that if he transforms, he will kill him. Lupin [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Mobilicorpus|charms]] the unconscious Snape to float along with them. Black suggests having two people chained to Pettigrew to prevent him escaping. Lupin and Ron volunteer, and Black, using Snape's wand, conjures manacles. With Crookshanks leading, they return to the tunnel.
 
== Analysis ==
Dòng 25:
Snape here has quite clearly decided what the truth is, and, rejecting any explanation that might destroy his "understanding," has bound and gagged both Sirius and Lupin. While Harry does not yet fully believe Black's story, he is certain Lupin is trustworthy, and resists Snape's stubborn refusal to even listen to Lupin. While Ron joining Harry in this rebellion is expected, it is surprising to everyone, including herself, that Hermione also participates.
 
This would appear to be the first time that we see two or more wizards combining their efforts to produce a single spell. The apparent effect is to increase the power of the spell, and in thisthe first case, the Trio jinxing Snape, the additional power is unexpected to any of the participants. In the second case, Lupin and Black combining forces to transform Scabbers into Pettigrew, the additional force may be necessary to reverse Pettigrew's Animagus transform. It may be worth noting that both Lupin and Black apparently realize that they must combine forces to revert Pettigrew's transformation.

=== Further Study ===
# Crookshanks is a cat / Kneazle cross, which makes him very intelligent for a feline, but howHow could heCrookshanks have "told" Sirius that Scabbers had vanished?
# Why did the Weasley family fail to notice or question Scabbers' unusually long life?
# If Sirius was able to fool the Dementors when in his Animagus form, why did it take him twelve years to escape Azkaban?

It should be noted here that Lupin missing his last Wolfsbane potion will have serious consequences. Though he knows there is a full moon that night, Lupin, in his excitement at seeing Pettigrew's and Black's names on the Marauder's Map, rushes off before Snape brings him the potion. As a result, Lupin transforms into a Werewolf without consciousness of his human self, thus endangering his companions. If Lupin had taken his final draught, he would have retained his mind after transforming, and Pettigrew would likely have been unable to escape. By missing that final dose, Lupin becomes a mindless, savage animal, and Sirius must assume his dog form to protect Harry and the others. While both fully-grown Wizards are occupied, Pettigrew seizes the opportunity to transform back into a rat and escape.
 
Snape being knocked out will turn out to be a necessary plot device. If Snape was conscious, even bound and gagged, he would have been unable to miss seeing Pettigrew returned to human shape, and his world view might have been upset. It is Snape's stubborn insistence on Black's guilt that sets up not only the final chapters of this book, but Black's donation of his house to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Order of the Phoenix|Order of the Phoenix]] for use as their [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Grimmauld Place|headquarters]]. Thwarted in his hopes of receiving the Order of Merlin for his part in Black's recapture, Snape reveals Lupin's werewolf nature, thus forcing Lupin out of his position as the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher role and fulfilling the conditions of what we later learn is a curse on that position, without destroying Lupin in the process.
 
=== Connections ===
 
* The Marauder's Map, created by James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, was first used [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 10|earlier in this book]] to allow Harry to escape into [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogsmeade|Hogsmeade]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 14|was later confiscated by Lupin]]; it [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 17|showed Lupin]] that people are getting into the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Shrieking Shack|Shrieking Shack]] via the tunnel under the Whomping Willow. Snape here states that it was this same map that brought him to the Shrieking Shack. After it is restored to him, Harry uses it to avoid interception by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peeves|Peeves]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Argus Filch|Filch]] during Harry's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire|fourth year]]; then, after it is borrowed by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alastor Moody|Professor Moody]], it plays a role in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Barty Crouch Jr.|Barty Crouch Jr.]]'s plot to murder [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bartemius Crouch Sr.|his own father]]. Harry uses it to avoid detection of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]], and himself, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']]. It keeps Harry aware of Malfoy's activities in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']]. Finally, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], Harry uses the map to gaze at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]]'s name as she attends classes at Hogwarts.
* Peter Pettigrew, introduced here, will be instrumental in restoring Voldemort to power, though Voldemort will treat Pettigrew as a menial servant. The fact that Harry stopped Lupin and Black from killing Pettigrew will, we will shortly learn, leave Pettigrew with a life debt to Harry; this may contribute to Voldemort's treatment of Pettigrew, and definitely results in Harry's life being saved when it is in peril at Pettigrew' hand in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 23|the final book]].
* This is also the first mention of the fact that Sirius owns a house in London. There must clearly be a Black family residence, though this is the first time it is mentioned. It will be a center of action in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], and will eventually become Harry's at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 35|Sirius' death]].
