Though disarmed, Harry manages to get his wand back, and is preparing to kill Sirius who he believes betrayed his parents to Voldemort , but Crookshanks , Hermione's cat, gets in the way. The impasse is broken by the arrival of Remus Lupin , who greets Sirius as a brother. Their explanation of what is going on is interrupted again by Severus Snape , who binds both Sirius and Lupin and prepares to take them away to meet the Dementors.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron Disarm Snape, which throws him against a wall and knocks him out. As they return to the school to turn Pettigrew in, the full moon causes Lupin to assume his Werewolf shape, and Sirius transforms into his dog shape to keep Lupin away from the students. Pettigrew changes to his rat shape and escapes. Sirius is caught by the Dementors, and Harry and Hermione try to rescue him, but are unable to and nearly succumb themselves.
This event covers some five chapters in the original book, and therefore even the details must be a bit sketchy. For the full event details, the only recourse would be chapters 17 through 21 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
As Harry , Ron , and Hermione head back to the school after visiting Hagrid , the recovered Scabbers seems unusually determined to escape. Scabbers bites Ron, then escapes, with Crookshanks in hot pursuit. Ron catches Scabbers, but a black dog appears, knocking Harry aside and grabbing Ron.
The dog drags Ron into a hole under the roots of the Whomping Willow , breaking Ron's leg. Harry, trying to follow, is struck by one of the Willow's flailing branches. Crookshanks dives under the branches and presses a knot in the tree trunk. The branches fall still; following Ron and the black dog, Harry and Hermione enter a tunnel that leads to the Shrieking Shack.
Upstairs, Ron, lying beside a decrepit four-poster bed, warns them it is a trap; the dog is Sirius Black , an Animagus. Black disarms Harry and Hermione with Ron's wand. Sirius remarks he is glad Harry acted like his father, coming to save his friend rather than running for help; that makes things easier. Ron says Black will have to kill them all, not just Harry, but Black responds there will only be one murder tonight. Harry demands to know if killing twelve Muggles plus Peter Pettigrew were not enough and lunges at the visibly weakened Black, grabbing his wand wrist.
Black chokes Harry with his free hand. Hermione kicks Black while Ron grabs his wand hand. Harry breaks away; as he grabs Black's wand, Crookshanks claws his hand. Defenseless, Black asks if Harry is going to kill him. Harry says he knows Black betrayed his parents to Voldemort. Black admits he was responsible but there is more to the story.
As Harry decides whether or not to listen, Crookshanks deliberately sits on Black's chest, resisting Black's efforts to remove him. Lupin demands, "Why hasn't he shown himself? Lupin pulls Black to his feet, embracing him. Hermione, sounding betrayed, tells Lupin that she trusted him and protected the secret that he is is a Werewolf. Lupin admits that he is, but he has not been helping Black, nor does he want Harry dead.
The Hogwarts staff knows he is a Werewolf; Professor Dumbledore convinced them he was trustworthy. Professor Snape set the Werewolf assignment with the expectation that a student would detect Lupin and give away his secret. Lupin returns the Trio's wands, placing his own wand in his belt, and asks the Trio to listen. Lupin saw Black's name on the Marauder's Map , a map Lupin helped create when he was a student.
Lupin is "Moony. Black says he did try to kill him, but, unknown to him, Peter escaped. Lupin insists that Harry must understand everything before Pettigrew dies. Black acquiesces, but demands Lupin be quick, he wants to commit the murder for which he was imprisoned. When Ron reminds Black there were witnesses who saw him kill Pettigrew and the Muggles, Black contends they were fooled.
Hermione points out that Pettigrew is not listed among the seven registered Animagi. Lupin claims there were three unregistered Animagi running around Hogwarts. Ron, noting a door apparently opening by itself, thinks the Shrieking Shack is haunted, but Lupin claims it is not. The howls the villagers heard were his, not Ghosts.
Before there was a potion to allow a Werewolf to retain his mind, the Shrieking Shack was built specifically to confine Lupin during his transformations. The Whomping Willow was planted to guard the tunnel leading to the shack. After discovering he was a Werewolf, rather than shunning their friend, they secretly became Animagi to support him. It took them three years to learn how, perfecting it in their fifth year.
James and Black learned on their own, but Pettigrew needed their help. When transformed, they could safely run with Lupin in the Forbidden Forest. Sirius and James were large enough to keep a Werewolf in check, though there were near misses. Pettigrew, the rat, was Wormtail. Harry asks what animal his father was, but Hermione interrupts, saying it was dangerous to allow a Werewolf to run free.
Lupin admits it was, but they were young and uncaring. Lupin regrets never telling Dumbledore that Black is an Animagus, but says he was ashamed to admit to him that he betrayed his trust by once roaming the village as a Werewolf. Lupin believed Black was serving Voldemort and convinced himself that Black used Dark Magic to enter the castle, rather than his Animagus form.
He confesses that Snape was partially right, that by remaining silent, he was aiding Black. Black demands to know how Snape is involved, and Lupin explains that Snape is now a Hogwarts teacher. Black once tricked Snape after he became curious about Lupin's monthly disappearances. Black told him about the Whomping Willow and how to get into the tunnel. It was James' last-minute intervention that saved Snape from a deadly Werewolf. Dumbledore had, of course, forbidden Snape from revealing anything about Lupin's condition.
Snape now reveals himself, having been hiding under Harry's Invisibility Cloak which he had found by the Whomping Willow where Harry and Hermione had dropped it. He was bringing Lupin his Wolfsbane potion when he noticed a very interesting map on Lupin's desk that confirmed his suspicion Lupin was helping Black.
Snape magically binds Lupin before he can explain, then insists everyone return to the castle so he can have a word with the Dementors. Harry blocks the door, demanding Snape listen. When Snape refuses, Harry disarms him, helped by Ron and, surprisingly, 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 Scabbers, though Ron protests that even if Peter Pettigrew assumes a rat form, why would it be Scabbers? Black explains that when Fudge visited him at Azkaban , he gave Sirius 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 James and 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 "that mad cat" going after him all the time. Harry figures differently: Scabbers was already looking ill in 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. After all, appearing dead had worked once before. 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 Wizard 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 Godric's Hollow , and finding James and Lily's bodies amid their destroyed house, realized Pettigrew betrayed the Potters to 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 explanation about the night James and Lily died, Pettigrew feebly claims he faked his death because he feared Black, after betraying 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. 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.
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 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 Hogwarts and lived in the Forbidden Forest, emerging to watch the 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 he would have been killed 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 splints Ron's leg. Black warns Pettigrew that if he transforms, he will kill him. Lupin 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. Proceeding down the tunnel, Black realizes he will be a free man once Pettigrew is turned over to the authorities.
He tells Harry that he is his godfather and also his guardian and hesitantly offers to have Harry live with him. Harry's enthusiastic, "Yes! As they exit the tunnel, a shifting cloud bathes them in full moonlight. Lupin, who has forgotten to take his potion, transforms into a Werewolf. Black yells at Harry to run, but he cannot—Ron is still chained to Pettigrew. Black transforms into a dog to defend the others. Lupin, now a Werewolf, is no longer shackled to Pettigrew, who grabs Lupin's dropped wand and stuns Ron and Crookshanks.
Harry disarms Pettigrew, but he transforms into a rat and vanishes into the grass. Harry and Hermione rush to Ron's aid, but they are unable to undo Pettigrew's jinx. Hearing a whining yelp, Harry and Hermione run to the lake and find the human Black cowering on the shore. Nearly a hundred Dementors are approaching from all directions. Harry and Hermione leap to Black's defense, but there are too many Dementors, and Harry's Patronus charm is too weak to repel them.
The creatures' presence overwhelm Harry and Hermione. Harry falls and feels himself being lifted by one to administer the Kiss. As Harry's consciousness fades, a bright light seems to race around him, scattering the Dementors.
As they disperse, a large glowing animal appears in the light's midst, then trots back to someone standing on the on the lake's opposite shore. Now zap the red flower on the left side of the area and it will water the seed, allowing it to grow leaves up the side of the wall that you can use to use to jump back up.
As you proceed toward the right, you'll come to a series of ledges with moving vines positioned between them. The vines have webbing on top of them. You can leap onto the webbing to reach higher ledges and LEGO pieces.
Hop onto the first one and then when it rises, leap left to find an object that you can blast with some magic. That'll cause a vine to recede in a passage to the right. Now head in that direction, collecting LEGO pieces as you go. When you reach a vertical shaft with a new ledge rising and falling, go ahead and descend. You'll find another of the objects that you can hit to make another vine recede toward the right. Then go left, ride the ledge up the shaft and resume your trek toward the right.
In that direction, you'll next come to a bit of a puzzle. There are two low geysers of water that you must avoid as you continue toward the right, then a third geyser with a board resting on it. Above that third geyser is a shaft that you are expected to ascend, but there's no obvious way to do so. Look toward your upper left and there are purple-colored bulbs stuck to the wall.
Knock them down with magic, then use each of them to plug the purple geyser spouts to the left. That'll make the third geyser the one with the board on it much more powerful. Now it will periodically send the board up the shaft.
Just ride the board up to higher ground. You can head left to find another object that can be destroyed, removing the final vine to your right. Then continue to the right, up the stairs. Left Image Destroy the furniture so that the Scabbers imposter has nowhere to hide in the abandoned room. Right Image Find the ingredients and concoct a potion so that you have the strength to pull the nearby lever. Following a cutscene, you'll appear in a large, furnished room covered in dust and cobwebs.
You will be chasing a rat around the various furnishings. As the rat moves to new hiding spots, you can blast chair cushions, the piano, a pot along the side of the room and so forth, thus reducing the number of places that the rat has to hide while also snagging LEGO pieces in the process. When you've destroyed the last of the furniture, you can use magic to assemble it into a giant mouse trap.
That accomplishment produces another cutscene and then you'll find yourself back outside, in a relatively grassy area with vines to the right and a bunch of shrubbery to your left. You should head toward the right. Lumos magic can clear away the vines, allowing you to build a spherical device. Hit it with magic to make it airborne. It'll drop some LEGO blocks that you can use to climb up to the nearby ledge. Then proceed toward the right again to reach an area where you will see a snake fossil along a back wall, below the two characters you are pursuing.
Have Hermione's cat dig where you see the paw prints to reveal a cauldron. Now blast the snake head to produce the first ingredient for a potion. Left from the snake head, there's a pile of bones that you can assemble to form a dancing skeleton. It'll eventually fall apart and leave behind the second ingredient for the potion. As for the third ingredient, you find it by watering the three purple pods growing positioned along the ground near the cauldron.
Watering the last one produces a plant with the purple flower, which you can take and drop into the cauldron to complete your brew. Then drink it and head to the lever to the left, along the cliff wall.
I asked Nearly Headless Nick No one can get in. Fred and George tried, obviously, but all the entrances are sealed shut The Shrieking Shack is a creepy abandoned building just outside the town of Hogsmeade. However, the wails that were once heard emanating from this creepy building were not actually ghosts, but rather Remus Lupin transformed into a werewolf.
The shack, in fact, was built when he came to Hogwarts, allowing him to transform a safe distance away from the other students PA The shack cannot be broken into from the outside, though Fred and George have tried PA14 ; it must be entered instead through a secret passageway, the mouth of which lies under the Whomping Willow PA Tags: first meeting haunted murder surprises.
