Didn't see that coming

332-377 pages

In chapter 17, A big black dog drags Ron into a tunnel under the Whomping Willow. Crookshanks is running around and apparently stops the tree from attacking Harry and Hermione. They follow the cat down the tunnel to emerge in the Shrieking Shack outside Hogsmeade. They find Ron with Sirius Black. Ron is being held captive! Black disarms them and Harry attacks Black, and with Ron and Hermione overpowers him. Lupin arrives and admits that he's Black's friend and a werewolf. Whoa...i didn't know lupin was a friend of Black...this changes a lot...

In chapter 18, In which Lupin tells the story of his becoming a werewolf and of his school days with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Severus Snape, the last of whom now appears.

In chapter 19,  Snape threatens Lupin and Black with the Dementors, HRH disarm Snape with a spell...oh crap. Lupin and Black tell the truth about Harry's parents' deaths WHICH IS A BIG SHOCKER TO ME! Ok...apparently Scabbers is Peter Pettigrew? the truth comes out about all the players in the drama, revealing that Pettigrew was responsible for the Potters' deaths, and Harry keeps Lupin and Black from killing Pettigrew. Im confused again haha. Good book though, lots of details.
