Living peacefully at Hogwarts

Chapter 226

As an insider, Klein had to admire Peter Perudi's cunning.

A feigned death not only freed himself from suspicion, but also successfully made Sirius take the blame.Even Remus Lupine, who trusted Sirius so much, thought Sirius was a traitor.
That fat mouse tricked almost everyone!

After listening to Sirius' confession, Dumbledore was neither angry nor sneered.

He stared at Sirius's dirty and greasy face seriously, as if he wanted to find something in the other's expression.

But unfortunately, he failed.

"Aren't you a traitor?"

The old man asked back.

"I'm not."

Showing an ugly smile, Sirius straightened his thin chest.

"Yes, believe it or not, I was never a traitor. I didn't betray the Potters, I didn't turn to the Dark Lord, and I didn't kill those Muggles and Peter."

He smiled bitterly.

"I'm just a poor wretch who got thrown into jail for being stupid."

It was shame that made Sirius willing to spend his days in Azkaban Prison.

He didn't betray his friend, but he was sorry for his friend-it was he who suggested that the Potters chose Peter as the secret keeper, which led to everything that happened later.

"Well."

Dumbledore paused for a few seconds.

He found that he seemed to have entered a blind zone of thinking.

After what happened that year, he was busy dealing with the big and small things of the Dark Lord's downfall. He still read the news of Sirius' arrest from the "Daily Prophet".

The Ministry of Magic has concluded that Sirius Black is the murderous maniac and the culprit.

Although he was heartbroken, he never doubted it.
No, it should be said that no one doubted it.

Because the "Loyalty Curse" will not deceive people.

If Sirius hadn't leaked the secret, how could Voldemort come to him?

"You say you're innocent, but the Ministry of Magic."

Unknowingly, Dumbledore's attitude has undergone some changes.

"Barty Crouch, you know, the Director of Magical Law Enforcement."

Sirius smiled, his expression a little cold.

"Voldemort fell, he rose quickly through the Ministry, and started taking some very tough measures against Voldemort's Death Eaters.

The Auror Office and the Department of Mysteries have gained some new powers - for example, they have the power to kill, not just capture.

Heh, I'm not the only one who was sent directly to the dementors without trial.

Crouch met violence with violence, and he allowed the unforgivable spell to be cast on the suspect.

In my opinion, he has become as ruthless and ruthless as many people in the dark arts.Many people supported him at the time, and he was about to become the head of the Ministry of Magic.

And at that moment, an interesting thing happened.”

When he was in Azkaban, he was just decadent, but not stupid.

As for why he was wronged, no one doubted that Sirius was as clear as a mirror in his heart.

"His son, Barty Crouch Jr. was arrested."

Seeing that he was about to become the Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch's reputation plummeted after such a incident happened.

He needed something else to cover the storm.

That is, the trial of the prisoner who murdered the Potters, Sirius Black!
Betrayers are always despised by others, and people are excited. The news that the son of the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has been imprisoned in Azkaban naturally has a much smaller impact.

In that so-called trial, Barty Crouch didn't even "Legilitivize", directly skipped the normal evidence collection and trial links, and didn't give Sirius a chance to defend himself, so he was sent to jail directly.

This level is 13 years.

"I don't understand, if you didn't leak the secret, how could the Dark Lord find the Potters?"

My intuition told me that Sirius was not lying, but my reason kept reminding me that I should not take it lightly.Dumbledore inadvertently glanced at Klein over there, and asked in a deep voice.

"because I"

Sirius took a deep breath.

"It's not a "secret keeper" at all!"

He is not the secret keeper of the "Curse of Fidelity". Only four people know about it: himself, the Potters, and Peter Perudi.

Even Remus Lupine was kept in the dark.

The situation was very grim back then, and Voldemort was massacring the "Children of Prophecy".To be on the safe side, Black rejected the Potters' request that he become a "secret keeper" and recommended Peter instead.

Tough Blake and timid Perudi.

No matter who it is, Sirius is the secret keeper.

And this is exactly what he wants to see.

But who would have thought that Peter, who seemed honest and honest, stabbed the Potters in the back without hesitation, and then sold everyone.

He was so angry that he chased Peter all over the world, but he was framed when he finally succeeded.

"Lily and James, Sirius, how can you!"

In a simple sentence, he became the mastermind behind everything, and he spent 13 years in prison for this.

"Aren't you a secret keeper?"

Dumbledore froze.

He didn't think about the situation at all.

How could the most trusted Sirius of the Potters not be the "Secret Keeper".

If he is not.
So who is it?

"Peter Perudi, he's the secret keeper, that bastard damn stupid thing is the one who betrayed the Potters!"

Sirius was excited, his eyes were red.

Even though Peter had been killed by himself, he was still full of resentment.

Some are against that villain, and some are against myself.

"Well."

Dumbledore fell silent.

Peter?

Peter has been dead for more than ten years.

Sirius' testimony doesn't make any sense at all.

"Cough cough."

The more they talked, the more excited they became, but in the end they fell into an endless loop.

Klein sighed and coughed unnaturally.

Dumbledore's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Yes, the magical "Carat A Dream" is still here!
If it was him, there must be a way to dialectically tell the truth from what Sirius said.

"Who is this"

Originally, Sirius wasn't curious about Klein's identity, but now that he is deliberately looking for a sense of presence, he doesn't seem to be able to justify it if he ignores it.

So, he cooperated very much and asked Dumbledore a question.

"Who is this"

Dumbledore looked at Klein and winked secretly.

"Green Clay, a planeswalker who has traveled all over the world, and a friend of Mr. Dumbledore."

Receiving a signal, Klein, who had completely changed his appearance, picked up his trumpet in Egypt.

With a baby face on his face, he spoke to Dumbledore in an old-fashioned way.

"Sorry, I overheard your conversation. Coincidentally, I know a way to prove Mr. Black's innocence. I don't know if you are interested."
