Hogwarts Survival Sim

By the time Professor McGonagall brought Ethan and Harry to the principal's office, the atmosphere inside had dropped to freezing point.

Snape was glaring with hatred at Sirius Black who was tied to the chair. Harry had never thought that there would be someone who could make Snape hate him more than he hated himself, but now Sirius did it.

"I don't understand, Mr. Principal." His voice was extremely cold, "Why not just hand him over to the dementors? I think they would be very interested in giving him a kiss."

"I didn't expect you to become a professor, Snape." Black raised his head and said with some disdain.

"Yeah, it's not like some people who can only be a fugitive."

"Okay, Sirius, Severus." Dumbledore ended the quarrel, "I called you here today to learn some truth. Did you bring the Veritaserum, Severus? "

"A bottle full."

"While I don't think it was needed, perhaps it would be more reassuring to Connelly that what we were hearing was indeed the truth."

"What's wrong, Dumbledore?" As he spoke, a man wearing a striped robe and a dark green top hat opened the door and walked in. He looked surprised when he saw so many people. "Why are you so anxious to find me?"

"Indeed, Cornelius." Dumbledore nodded to Fudge, "because we have captured Sirius Black."

"What?!" Fudge shouted in surprise, and then he quickly noticed the man tied to the chair, "It's really him!"

"Great, Dumbledore! I'll let the Aurors take him away now. Believe me, he will never have the chance to do evil again."

"Please wait a moment, Cornelius." Dumbledore raised his hand to stop him. "I must admit that this is a bit offensive, but we really still have some questions that need him to answer. So can you give us some time?"

"Well, this is a bit difficult, Dumbledore." Fudge pressed his hat. "You know, this is not in line with ministry rules."

"I understand, Connelly. But trust me, you'll hear something that will interest you, too."

"Well, if you are sure that's what you want." Fudge said that he was involved in this. "And I also want to know how Black escaped from Azkaban."

"Then let's get started, Severus."

Snape stepped forward and put a few drops of clear potion into Sirius' mouth.Even though they knew it was Veritaserum, looking at Snape's expression, anyone would think that he was holding the most poisonous poison in the world.

As the Veritaserum was taken, Sirius's eyes became a little dull.

"Can you hear me?" Dumbledore asked.

"can."

"your name."

"Sirius Black." His voice was very calm and seemed to contain no emotion.

"Twelve years ago, was it you who betrayed the Potters and leaked their location to Voldemort?"

"It's not me," what Black said next shocked almost everyone in the office and even made them forget their fear of Voldemort's name. "Originally, I was James and Lily's secret keeper, but I convinced them at the last minute. Replace me with Peter."

He continued to speak in a calm tone that subverted their perceptions.

"I thought this was a clever plan, because the Death Eaters must not have thought of this. They would definitely come back to chase me, and Peter just needed to hide himself. But that night, I went to where Peter was hiding to identify him. When it was safe, he had already disappeared. Only then did I realize that something was wrong..."

In the following time, a story completely opposite to what everyone thought was presented to them, so much so that they even wondered if Snape had brought the wrong potion and used Veritaserum as a potion that could make people make up stories. .

"Then how did you find out that Peter was still alive, and how did you escape from Azkaban?"

"I saw Peter in the newspaper Fudge gave me..."

"That's ridiculous!" Fudge retorted loudly, "I gave you a newspaper, but there was absolutely nothing about Peter Pettigrew on it! You have definitely gone crazy and started telling nonsense that even deceived yourself..."

"...Peter is an unregistered Animagus, he can transform into a mouse." As if he did not hear Fudge's words, Sirius continued to narrate, "I will never forget what he looks like after transformation, because I have seen it countless times. And I was able to escape from Azkaban because I was also an unregistered Animagus. I could turn into a dog and avoid detection by the Dementors."

"I can prove that Peter Pettigrew can indeed turn into a mouse, Mr. Minister." Lupine added on the side, "And he has been hiding from Harry disguised as a pet."

"..."

Fudge stared at Black with a blank expression on his face, clearly thinking that he was talking nonsense, but his reason told him that what the notorious fugitive in front of him said might really be true.But even so, he still subconsciously wanted to deny all this, otherwise the Ministry of Magic might really become a laughing stock.

Just when he was about to say something, Ethan suddenly spoke.

"I remember that Mr. Barty Crouch should have been in charge of the trial of the Death Eaters, but Sirius Black seemed to have been sent to Azkaban without a trial. This is really in line with the procedure. Of?"

"Well, that's really unreasonable." After hearing this, Fudge's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Ethan who was speaking a little thoughtfully, as if to say that if you can speak, just speak more.

"Although it is possible that Veritaserum has been concealed, I think very few people can lie in front of Principal Dumbledore. If Black was really wronged, a wizard who bravely fought against Voldemort was imprisoned in Azkaban lasted for 12 years, and I think Mr. Crouch should bear a lot of responsibility for this."

"That's true," Fudge touched the brim of his hat again and said in a deep voice, "If Black is really innocent, I think I should clear his name."

"I think so." At this time, everyone in the office turned their attention to Fudge and Ethan. "I believe that the Ministry of Magic will never wrongly accuse a good person, and will never let a bad person go."

"That's right!" Hearing this, Fudge's eyes brightened, "This..."

"Ethan Granger."

"Classmate Granger, what you said is so good! This is what our Ministry of Magic has been trying to do. Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely investigate the matter of Sirius Black. As long as he is innocent, I I will definitely return his innocence!"
