- Then Lupin spoke, in an odd voice, a voice that shook with some suppressed emotion. 'Where is he, Sirius?'
- Harry looked quickly at Lupin. He didn't understand what Lupin meant. Who was Lupin talking about? He turned to look at Black again.
- Black's face was quite expressionless. For a few seconds, he didn't move at all. Then, very slowly, he raised his empty hand, and pointed straight at Ron. Mystified, Harry glanced around at Ron, who looked bewildered.
- 'But then...' Lupin muttered, staring at Black so intently it seemed he was trying to read his mind, '... why hasn't he shown himself before now? Unless -' Lupin's eyes suddenly widened, as though he was seeing something beyond Black, something none of the rest could see, '-unless he was the one... unless you switched... without telling me?'
- Very slowly, his sunken gaze never leaving Lupin's face, Black nodded.

- 'What?' said Harry. 'No, we weren't~'
- 'I couldn't believe my eyes,' said Lupin, still pacing, and ignoring Harry's interruption. 'I thought the map must be malfunctioning. How could he be with you?'
- 'And then I saw another dot, moving fast towards you, labelled Sirius Black... I saw him collide with you, I watched as he pulled two of you into the Whomping Willow -'
- 'One of us!' Ron said angrily.
- 'No, Ron,' said Lupin. 'Two of you.'
