Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This method may not be recognized by the world, but Anriel finds it very easy to use.

The concept is to roughly divide a person's behavior that needs to be analyzed into three parts:

"What is his purpose in doing this?"

"Did he hurt anyone as a result of what he did? If so, was it successful in the end?"

And one last thing...

"Is it expected that he would do this? Is it reasonable?"

First, let's look at James:

He made this decision to protect himself, but this decision betrayed Dumbledore's trust and ultimately failed.

This decision he made was consistent with his character and could be expected.

Then we come to the second one...Peter Pettigrew.

He made this decision for the purpose of self-protection, and betrayed the trust of James and Sirius, but it worked in the end.

The decision he made was also consistent with his character and could be expected.

And finally…Sirius.

He made this decision for James, but his actions negated James's judgment, which is commonly known as not doing things according to the client's instructions... and his final plan also failed.

The decision made by Sirius was not in line with his character, because the purpose of using this method was to surprise Voldemort and make him unable to guess.

......

After listing these three points, whose mistake is the most fatal?

At least Anriel has made a judgment in his mind.

He and Dumbledore looked at each other, and the moment those blue eyes met his, Anriel knew that they both read emotion in each other's eyes... as well as a hint of pity and a hint of disgust.

What both of them understood was that the pity and disgust were not meant for Peter at all.

Let alone betraying a friend during the time when Voldemort was at his most powerful...

More horrible, more despicable, more despicable and dirty things happen from time to time.

Wormtail was nothing more than a coward in comparison.

But the man standing in front of Dumbledore and Anriel now...

That mercy was reserved for him.

From a God's perspective, we can naturally understand Sirius's love for his son. He makes up for his longing for James and his debt to Harry, so this character is full and beautiful.

But when you put yourself in Dumbledore's perspective... Sirius becomes very troublesome... He has no sense of the overall situation, insists on his own way... and is very reckless.

Snape did make an objective assessment of his shortcomings.

"Ah, I see...you want justice for James and Lily, right?"

Anriel held the wand idly, and Sirius' eyes followed it to the other side.

The former's hand paused slightly and glanced at Dumbledore.

Anriel understood——

What he was about to say was exactly what he wanted to say, but due to his identity and various reasons, it was not convenient for "Dumbledore" to say it in person.

Anriel's lips pursed, thinking that I have to be the bad guy.

"That is to say, thirteen years ago, you did not choose to trust Dumbledore...

And now you've come to my father again, hoping that he can help you - and perhaps the Potters - get how... revenge?

That’s what you think in your mind, right?”

Anriel had a pleasant expression and a smile on his face, or it would be more appropriate to say a sneer.

"You are now a fugitive."

Sirius' heart sank, he had a bad feeling.

He looked towards Dumbledore, but was surprised to find that the latter was just looking at him like that, with an X-ray-like scrutiny that left no one exposed, as if the old man had seen through his inner thoughts.

“No…it’s not like that!

Peter betrayed James and Lily! He betrayed them to Voldemort!

And this traitor is still at large outside!"

"So you mean not for revenge, but for justice, right?"

Anriel answered calmly, not being distracted by Sirius's excitement.

The words Sirius wanted to say were stuck, like a rooster being strangled.

Anriel pressed on step by step, continued to induce with words, and said for Sirius what he couldn't say now:

"You think that's unfair, don't you?"

Putting aside the righteousness of revenge, what is the biggest reason for Sirius to take revenge on Wormtail?

He must have been taking the blame for the crime that Wormtail had committed, and he had been innocently imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years.

Anriel is now analyzing Sirius's current psychology in the form of a reading note, and speaking them out, testing Sirius' psychological defenses step by step:

“But I don’t think so…

This pest has not had a good time in the past decade, right?

We can't relax for even a moment... The Transfiguration Spell will last for nearly thirteen years, and we don't know when it will end...

It's not much different from Azkabam, except there are no Dementors."

Anriel looked directly into Sirius' eyes:

"So what are you resenting, Blake?"

Sirius' eyes widened, and he looked even paler as if he was insulted.

"You...how dare you! You know nothing!"

Anriel waved his wand lazily, and Sirius, who was about to rush up, was pressed directly onto an armchair next to him.

"What do you say I don't understand? The treatment in Azkaban? I really don't understand...

Because I haven’t made a huge mistake of trust, right?”

The last bit of "human" color disappeared from Sirius' face.

He now looked like a mad dog that had lost its mind and was being constantly provoked.

"You or Snape.

Do you know where all the suffering and misfortune you are enduring now, all the inner torment and torture, all the sorrow and pain... come from?"

Anriel snorted coldly, leaving Sirius no time to think:

“Because you don’t trust me.

You didn't trust those who were actually more reliable.

This was the first and last time Snape distrusted Dumbledore, and it cost him the most painful price in his life...no doubt about it.

This has caused him pain to this day, so since then, he has almost unconditionally trusted... this person. "

Anriel raised an eyebrow at Dumbledore, then looked at Sirius, whose eyes were bulging with bloodshot.

It looks like the effect is almost there.

Anriel's voice was cold and ruthless. Compared with the "murderous devil" in front of him who had been in Azkaban for twelve years, his aura seemed even colder and more dead.

Dumbledore sighed silently and turned his face away slightly...

He could see that Anriel seemed to be really angry this time...

Just like his other father.

......

Gellert has never been a petty person, but he is definitely not a magnanimous person either.

He can tolerate betrayal from his subordinates - because that often means that he is not perfect in some way, although this does not mean that he will let those traitors go when the reckoning comes.

But he absolutely could not tolerate any behavior that would cut a scar between the feelings of both parties.

The suspicion of a friend is far more piercing than the blade of an enemy.

This undoubtedly also shows that Gellert's tolerance for "betrayal" is much higher than "distrust".

Anriel and him in this regard...

Exactly the same.
