Chapter Forty-Seven: The Tragic Story Ends Even More Tragically
After a long time, Alan forcibly resisted his intention to die and ask the proprietress about her age - he felt that he would be hunted down by half of the wizarding world after asking...
Unfortunately, while Alan had calmed down, Harry was not.
At this moment, in front of Harry, the most brutal blow directed at the heart was constructed by the Professor and the Minister of Magic, and then pierced directly into his heart like the sharpest sword.
"Very few people know the worst thing he's ever done. Fudge took a sip of his wine and continued.
"If you remember them, you must remember who Blake's best friend was at Hogwarts?"
"Of course—they're inseparable, aren't they? I've seen them here — oh, they always make me laugh. A good pair, Sirius Black and James Potter!"
Wait, ma'am, there's a question that lingers in my mind!
However, the question was still unspoken, but Harry's hand unconsciously rested on the table, quite hard.
"That's right—both mischievous and inseparable, Fred and Jorca Weasley are exactly what they do, and honestly, people who meet for the first time mistake them for brothers. ”
"Potter trusts Blake, more than all his other friends. It's still like that when they graduate and leave school. When Jaime and Lily got married, Blake was the best man. Then they called Blake Harry's godfather. As if reminiscing about that time, everyone's tone was relaxed, however, in the end, it was necessary to face the reality that Blake was a traitor.
Of course Harry didn't know. You can imagine how tormenting him would have been to know this. ”
Fudge was right - the top of Harry's invisibility cloak had fallen, his eyes were bloodshot at the moment, his arms were stretched out on the table, his hands were leaking out unconsciously, his grip was white, and there were blood marks on the parts of his nails that touched his palms, and Cho began to try to hold his hand, and finally succeeded after a few attempts - she clasped one of Harry's hands around her chest, trying to share Harry's pressure in this way.
Unfortunately, this is not the end – but the beginning.
"It's worse than that—many people don't know that the Potters understand that the mystery is after them. Naturally, Dumbledore was a tireless opponent of the Mysteries, and he had many capable spies. One of the spies told Dumbledore about it, and Dumbledore immediately told Jaime and Lily. He advised them to hide. Dumbledore told them that their best chance was the curse of Courageous Loyalty. ”
"It was a magical spell—involving the use of magic to hide a secret in the soul of a living person. This secret is hidden in the heart of the chosen one, or the person who keeps it secret, and it is impossible to discover it from now on—unless, of course, the person knowingly divulges it. As long as the secret refuses to speak, the mystery man will search the village where the Potters have lived for many years, and I will never find them, even if he flattens his nose on the glass window outside the couple's living room!"
In the rest of the story - Blake rightfully played the most dishonorable role.
As the most trusted of his friends, the Potters' confidentiality, he betrayed his best friend, his former brother, Harry, who was now struck without any expression, and all he could do was listen blankly, stiff as a puppet.
Unfortunately, the story still doesn't end like a nightmare.
Hagrid's grief-stricken voice recounted how he had picked up Harry and how he had met Sirius—"I had rescued him from the rubble, and Sirius Black appeared on his usual flying scooter. I couldn't figure out what he was doing there. I didn't know he was James and Lily's secret man. ”
"At the time I thought he had heard about the mysterious man's attack and was there to see what he could do. He was pale at the time. Trembling all over. Do you know what I did, I comforted that murderous traitor!"
"What if I give Harry to him? I bet he'd throw Harry off his bike and into the sea halfway through. But if a wizard is depraved, he will not care about anything and anyone."
Even the twins' faces turned pale, and Cho took Harry's head in one hand to comfort the boy - but Harry was almost desperate at this moment, he was faced with a desperate and long story of a betrayer.
However, not all stories are good, and tragic stories correspond to more tragic endings – and this more tragic ending is so tragic that no one doubts its irrationality.
The story ends with an usually cowardly young wizard who, upon learning of his companion's betrayal, summons up all his courage to confront his betraying friend, and is blown to pieces by a spell in a duel.
"I was the undersecretary of the Department of Magical Calamity, and I was one of the first to arrive after Blake killed so many people. I- I'll never forget that scene. Sometimes I dream about it. There was a big crater in the middle of the street, so deep that it broke the sewer pipe underneath. There were corpses everywhere. The Muggles screamed. And Blake stood there laughing maniacally, the wreckage of Peter Pettigrew right in front of him. A pile of blood-stained robes and no more—not many fragments—"
Touching story - alas, everything is fake.
However, Alan can't say because he doesn't have any evidence.
In a burst of sobbing, the professors left the bar - and Harry was completely using his own will to stubbornly hold on to not letting himself pass out.
Surrounded by Qiu Zhang's arms, Harry found a shoulder to lean on, and Alan and the twins retreated without making a sound - the blow was too heavy for Alan to be relieved of. Thankfully, there is someone who can comfort him at this moment.
"Let's go, I think we need to give them their own space. George whispered, and Allen and the others left the tavern together.
That night, Harry ate like a wooden man - Autumn even ran over the Gryfin table to take care of Harry, and luckily Harry was able to eat on his own, but the problem was still quite serious.
But Harry recovered much faster than the others - the next day, Alan was stopped by Harry with dark circles under his eyes.
"I want to kill him—I want to get him back personally, Allen—can you help me?"
The voice was extremely hoarse – and at the same time extremely determined.
