The Charles Becomes a Wizard

"Cough." Lucius coughed dryly, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then stunned the aggressive Snape with one sentence.

"Sirius was not the secret keeper for the Potters' house."

"This is impossible!" Snape was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps forward and grabbed Lucius by the collar. "Impossible! If, if it wasn't him, why did he..."

He wanted to know why this man had admitted his guilt in court? Why did Dumbledore let him die in Azkaban?

Why......

"Sirius said that because he and Potter were too close, Dumbledore suggested that the Secret-Keeper be replaced by Peter Pettigrew."

"How could that be? Isn't Pettigrew already dead?"

Died in the explosion caused by that damn Blake, leaving only a finger.

"His body was not found at that time, was it?"

Lucius looked at his friend who had suffered for a Muggle girl for most of his life with a hint of pity, but his words were extremely cold: "If Dumbledore really wanted to protect his capable subordinate, why didn't he become the secret keeper himself?"

"I guess this shouldn't be too much trouble for the greatest white wizard?"

Snape let go of his hand in a daze. His tall figure swayed and he took two steps back in a daze.

Yes, if Dumbledore had been the secret-keeper at the time, she would never have been found!

Who in the world could force Dumbledore to reveal her address?

It's not a complicated spell...

Why isn't Dumbledore the Secret-Keeper?

He had clearly informed Dumbledore in advance that she would be in danger...

Why didn't you protect her?

Lucius revealed what I had not dared to think about before, and even all my persistence over the years seemed ridiculous.

Lucius calmly raised his hand to straighten his collar.

When he realized that Snape had betrayed their friendship for a mere Mudblood, Lucius wanted to kill him outright. However, when he thought of the energy and cost he had invested in Snape over the years and the other party's identity as a potion master, Lucius endured it.

Even though he didn't show it on his face, there was always a thorn in Lucius' heart. Seeing him in pain, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"I need evidence." A dry voice sounded, Snape's eyes turned slightly red, and he looked at Lucius with a wooden face.

Although Lucius' words shocked him, he would not believe it without evidence.

"Of course we have evidence, but we need your help." Ciel placed his ten fingers on his lips in a tower shape, "We need you to bring Mr. Black to Hogwarts. He will bring the evidence to you."

Although Sebastian was also capable of catching "rats", Ciel did not like working for others for nothing. After all, whether that Pettigrew Peter was dead or alive, or whether he was the real informer, had nothing to do with him...

"How do I know this isn't an excuse for him to get closer to the Potter brood?"

"I think that a powerful wizard like you must have a way to restrict his actions, right?" Charles tilted his head, his eyes sparkling.

"Of course, you can refuse, but because of his betrayal, you lost someone very important, right?" The boy's voice was soft and clear. "Is it really okay to let the real murderer go unpunished?"

Snape was silent for a moment. "I hope you didn't deceive me."

Snape suddenly realized that even if he disagreed, Lucius and his "partners" had a way to get Sirius into Hogwarts.

If that's the case, it would be better to control the stupid dog in advance to avoid causing even greater trouble.

He suddenly looked at Lucius again and said in a firm tone: "You brought that stupid dog out of Azkaban."

Lucius was stunned for a moment but did not deny it.

"I thought Mr. Malfoy didn't have so much cheap kindness."

How could Malfoy, who puts profit above all else, take such a big risk for no reason for his wife's brother who had been abandoned for more than ten years and was of no use to him?

This is completely unreasonable.

"Maybe he can help me find what I need." Lucius met Snape's inquiring gaze without avoiding or dodging.

"Hmph," Snape sneered, no longer trying to figure out what conspiracy this venomous snake was thinking about. He flicked the corner of his robe, threw down a few words, and strode out the door.

"Send that stupid dog to me before school starts."

Draco looked at Snape's back and couldn't help but whisper to Lucius, "Why don't we send him over the night before school starts?"

"I always feel like it would be dangerous if the two of them stayed in the same space for too long."

Lucius actually didn't care much about whether his crazy and stubborn brother-in-law would suffer at the hands of Snape. To him, as long as he didn't torture the man to death, it was fine. He just nodded indifferently when he heard his son's words.

The reason why Lucius took so much trouble to bring Sirius Black out of Azkaban was actually because he was forced by Voldemor.

The reason is that the Slytherin pendant hidden by Voldemort was replaced by Sirius's brother...

Lucius couldn't believe that the boy who was always silent and well-behaved in his memory would have such courage. He actually dared to tease the Dark Lord!

When Voldemort saw the note in the locket, his face darkened. In order to find clues about where Regulus Black might have hidden the locket, he turned his attention to Sirius - the two brothers might be closer than their sisters.

As for discovering Peter Pettigrew, well, that was a pleasant surprise…

In order to calm down Sirius who woke up to find himself leaving Azkaban, Lucius showed him the photo of Potter (thanks to Colin Creevey who always liked to take pictures of Harry). It was in that photo that Sirius discovered Pettigrew Pitt who had turned into a mouse.

After seeing the mouse, Sirius stopped clamoring to return to Azkaban, but at the same time, his temper became more violent and his mental state became more unstable.

To prevent him from escaping and hurting others, Lucius put a magic collar on him that could restrict his movements.
