[HP] Squib Prince

"You mean there's something wrong with Peter? Peter Pettigrew?"

Sirius' expression became crazy: "It's all that cowardly and shameless traitor! If I hadn't listened to him and replaced the Secret Keeper with him in order to confuse Voldemort, James and Lily wouldn't have died at all... It's my fault, it's all because of my gullibility!"

After speaking, Sirius' voice was choked with sobs, and after he finished speaking, he cried loudly.The tears all over his face made his half-long hair stick to his face, and his embarrassment made him look pitiful and pathetic.

Dumbledore sighed deeply, then looked at Mr. Barty Crouch, and asked in a questioning tone: "I think the matter about Sirius and Peter Pettigrew needs to be investigated carefully. Before that As an important witness, can Sirius be detained in another place? The environment here really cannot guarantee his personal safety, you know."

Crouch frowned, which made him look even more serious and impersonal.He seemed to think for a while, and then said: "As the number one criminal with serious crimes, the authenticity of his words needs to be verified."

Dumbledore nodded: "That's why I didn't ask for his release directly. I think the Ministry's prison for suspects awaiting trial could be used..."

"No, I don't want to go out!" Sirius wiped away the tears on his face, interrupted Dumbledore's words in a hoarse voice, and shouted loudly, "I want to atone for my credulity here!"

Facing Sirius' weeping face, Brian looked away unbearably.He can't understand this man's thinking at all. In his opinion, this kind of self-torture is not called atonement at all. If you want to atone for your sins, shouldn't you raise your friend's orphan and avenge your friend?

"Sirius, have you ever thought about Harry?" Dumbledore looked deeply at Sirius' distressed appearance, with an unconcealable depression in his tone.

"Yes, Harry." Sirius looked at Dumbledore eagerly, and then asked, "How is Harry?"

Dumbledore sighed, and then continued what he hadn't finished saying before: "It is because of Harry that I came to you this time. He was originally staying at his aunt's house, but he had a very bad life. So we hope to find As Harry's godfather, James and Lily's best and most trusted friend, I thought we needed your opinion."

"Harry is having a bad time?" Sirius was stunned, he didn't seem to have thought of this possibility at all, "Why? He is so cute and cute, how could his aunt treat him badly?"

Dumbledore looked at Sirius helplessly, then turned his head and pointed to Brian who had been standing beside him, and introduced to Sirius: "This is Brian, he is now a Muggle from Hogwarts Professor of Science. He saw Harry first, and then informed us. I think he can explain to you what Harry is doing."

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Sirius looked straight at Brian, with scrutiny and guard in his eyes, but if he looked carefully, he could still see a trace of doubt.

Brian knew that this was why Dumbledore asked him to come, and some words were more trustworthy when spoken from a stranger like himself.

"Not everyone is good to well-behaved and cute children, Mr. Black." Brian looked at Sirius who was still in a daze, and then narrated in a voice as unemotional as possible, "How do they usually treat Harry?" Yes, I didn't see it either. I just saw that they let Harry's magic riot go, and they just cursed on the sidelines during Harry's magic riot, and didn't take any measures to rescue the child. After Harry was rescued by us Madam Pomfrey examined him. He was found to be malnourished, far below the physical standards of his peers, probably caused by long-term starvation. Moreover, Harry is very timid and wary of strangers. Big, I guess this is also related to his aunt's family's rough attitude towards him..."

"Those damned Muggles!" Brian didn't even mention the scars on Harry's body, Sirius couldn't help but roared loudly, he stood up excitedly, and the iron chain was tightened instantly.

This made the dementor who was looking at Sirius tense instantly, he circled around Sirius restlessly, gusts of cold air emanated from the dementor's black cloak, accompanied by the sound that Brian had just smelled. to the foul smell.

Brian couldn't help but backed away, trying to stay away from the gloomy atmosphere created by the dementors.

"Calm down, Sirius." As if Dumbledore didn't see the restless dementor, he stepped forward, stared at Sirius, and comforted him with his eyes.

Sirius had a very angry expression on his face, the veins on his forehead were bulging, he punched the table viciously, this rude action made blood flow from his knuckles.

Dumbledore drew out his wand and healed the wound on Sirius' hand: "It is for this reason that we hope that Harry will have a responsible guardian afterward. As the godfather, you have this right. The premise is that you can get from Azkaban was acquitted."

Sirius sat down dejectedly, then looked at Dumbledore uncertainly.He covered his face with his hands, and it took a long time for his weak voice to escape through his fingers: "It's all my fault...Harry shouldn't have had such a childhood..."

Dumbledore looked at the guilty Sirius and said nothing.Dumbledore's sigh was intertwined with Sirius' choking, and time stood still.This picture seemed to be still. Darkness and depression were the main colors of the whole painting, which made Brian very depressed.He moved his feet uncomfortably, and then the people in the picture were startled, and the whole picture came alive again.

"You should grow up, Sirius..."

After that things become very simple.According to Sirius, Dumbledore restored what happened the month before James and Lily died.If Sirius didn't lie, then it is basically certain that Peter Pettigrew took refuge in Voldemort, and then in order to get rid of the crime, he created an explosion, killed [-] Muggles, and left one of his own. Littlefinger forged the illusion of his own sacrifice, and successfully blamed Sirius.

Dumbledore collected the information with a serious face, and then said to Crouch: "I'm sorry, but Sirius really shouldn't be imprisoned here now. The influence of dementors on wizards is clear at a glance. In order to get More information, we need to ensure his sobriety."

Mr. Crouch gradually believed in Sirius' words during the question and answer between Dumbledore and Sirius, and he had no objection to Dumbledore's proposal.

"I should be the one to apologize for that. Clearly, it now appears that there were some lapses of judgement in terms of going to prison without a trial. I think I'll make a proposal to the Ministry of Magic to retry the suspects without a trial." "Mr. Crouch pursed his lips, and then apologized seriously, "I will arrange Black's new residence now, or do you want to arrange it yourself?"

Dumbledore glanced at Sirius who had calmed down, waved his hand, and said, "I think catching Peter Pettigrew is the most important thing now. As for Sirius, I'll leave it to you."

After finishing speaking, after seeing Crouch nodding in agreement, Dumbledore turned his head to look at Sirius, and he said in a deep tone: "Think about what I said to you today, Sirius."

Sirius received a lot of excitement today, he nodded in a daze, then said nothing, looking distracted.

Dumbledore shook his head, and then led Brian out: "Then we'll go back to Hogwarts first. As for hunting down Peter Pettigrew, I will contact you later."

Just when Dumbledore was about to walk out of the gate with Brian, Sirius' voice suddenly came from behind: "Principal Dumbledore, be careful of mice, you should know the reason."

Dumbledore turned his head, glanced at Sirius, just nodded, turned and left without saying anything.

"Today's conversation..." The two returned directly to Dumbledore's headmaster's office. Dumbledore looked at Bryan with a hesitant tone, "Let's not let Severus know..."

Bryan looked at Dumbledore suspiciously. He always thought that Dumbledore trusted Snape very much, but he didn't expect the other party to say that.

Dumbledore looked at Brian's obviously questioning face, and smiled: "Severus always thought that Lily's death was caused by Sirius' betrayal, and now that he suddenly knows the truth, he probably will get into a dead end. But forget it, if he It's okay to ask him if you tell him, I believe Severus will handle it well."

Brian pursed his lips, then nodded.He thought for a while, then hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Severus is very concerned about Lily Potter?"

Dumbledore gave Bryan a funny look, and then his expression suddenly became relaxed: "I, an old man, don't know much about these children. Why don't you ask Severus?"

Brian rolled his eyes secretly, thinking: "If I have the guts, I still need to ask you."

Seeing that Brian was silent, Dumbledore smacked his lips playfully, and then stroked his beard. The whole movement was extremely awkward, as if he had discovered something interesting. He stared at Brian for a while, and then suddenly Said: "They met before going to Hogwarts. However, Lily and Severus are obviously not suitable, their personalities are too different. Both are good boys..."

Brian thought about it, and had to say that if Snape had been his current personality since he was a child, he didn't seem suitable for many people.But according to Dumbledore, Snape really cared about Lily very much.

"However, I don't know why you ask this?" Dumbledore asked suddenly with a smile on his face.

Brian quickly waved his hand, saying it was nothing.Then he said immediately: "Then thank you for taking me to buy a wand and teaching me the Patronus Charm today. I'll go back first, Principal Dumbledore." After finishing speaking, he ran away.
