How is Darren?
Lupin asked warily.
"Thankfully, he was knocked unconscious by Blake..."
Ron said excitedly.
Lupin nodded.
Then he shouted, "Disarm you!"
Harry, Hermione, and Ron's wands are gone again.
Harry clenched his empty fist.
He felt a little regretful.
The professor has arrived.
Perhaps he will teach Black to the Dementors.
Blake won't die.
Lupin ignored Harry.
He strode up to Darren and tapped him lightly a few times with his wand.
Then the expression on his face relaxed a bit.
Then he suddenly turned to look at Blake.
He said, his voice tinged with suppressed emotion, "Where is he? I'm asking you, where is he?"
"what?"
Harry looked at Lupin in surprise.
Who is where?
Blake seemed a little surprised, but in the end he moved.
He glanced past Harry, then past Darren, and finally fixed his gaze on Ron.
"What are you talking about?"
Ron looked at Blake warily.
He was completely bewildered.
But no one answered him.
"...He's there, but why wasn't there any news before...? Has he been like that all along...?"
Lupin stared intently at Blake.
He seemed to be watching Blake's thoughts.
"Professor, what are you talking about...?"
Harry frowned.
He didn't understand why Lupin was talking about all this nonsense. Shouldn't they be getting Black to the Dementors as soon as possible? But he was stunned.
Because Lupin suddenly walked over to Blake, pulled Blake up, and then hugged him tightly.
They were as close as two brothers.
"You are friends!"
Hermione said angrily.
"No, I'll explain..."
Lupin quickly turned around and said.
But no one listened.
Harry and the others all watched him warily.
"I've always trusted you, but it turns out you've always been Blake's friend... Last time, Darren was almost killed by Blake, was it you who let him in?"
Harry roared in anger.
"Don't talk nonsense... Let me explain!"
Lupin tried to remain calm.
But Hermione no longer believed him.
She screamed, "I've been covering for you... I know you're a werewolf, but I've never told anyone."
So you're friends with Black... Fine, fine, you wanted to kill Darren and Harry... Yes, they're right here, and you've already captured them!"
Hermione's words made Harry's stomach ache.
“I swear, I have never intended to harm Darren or Harry… I’m even Darren’s godfather, how could I possibly harm him?”
Lupin said, trying to remain calm.
His words shocked Harry and the others.
Lupin is actually Darren's godfather?
"Yes, my name is Remus Lupin... I was originally planning to wait until the end of this semester."
I was going to tell Darren later, but I have to tell him now...
“But, but you’re a werewolf… How could my father let a werewolf be Darren’s godfather?”
Harry said incredulously.
“Oh, we’ve always been friends, and he thinks I’m very trustworthy… Dumbledore also knows I’m a werewolf, and they all believe me!”
"But they're wrong, you want to kill Darren now..."
Harry stood in front of Darren.
He freed Darren from his restraints, ready to run away with him at any moment.
Lupin quickly shook his head.
He hesitated.
They handed over Harry and the others' wands to them.
He said earnestly, "See? Now you have wands. Can I say a few more words? Let me explain things between me and Black?"
Harry and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hermione opened her mouth slightly.
She seemed a little wary as she said, "If you wake Darren up... then I'll trust you."
“Sorry, Hermione… Darren is too powerful. Even if Black and I were together, we wouldn’t be a match for him.”
If you don't trust us, he might just take Black directly to the Dementors.
"Then it will be too late. Can you listen to what I have to say first?"

Chapter 371 Let me finish!
Darren almost laughed at Lupin's words.
He was never unconscious.
He was simply cooperating with Blake to clear his name.
Then, once he regained consciousness, he planned to scare Blake again. He'd say he didn't believe Blake and was going to hand him over to the Dementors. After all, that guy had abandoned him right after he was born.
Even though it was the original owner who was thrown away, he was still a little unhappy.
Darren's joy may have been infectious.
The situation no longer seemed so tense.
But Harry and Hermione still held their wands tightly.
This is the treatment Lupin gave for waking up Darren.
They've almost stopped believing him.
Even though he returned the wand to them.
"If you hadn't been helping him, how would you have known he was here?"
Harry glanced at Black and asked angrily.
Lupin gave him a helpless look.
"I gave Darren the map, so how do you think I would know Blake was here? And Moonface is me!"
Lupin said impatiently.
"The moon face is you..."
