Chapter Ninety-Eight: What about favoritism

After listening to Sephiroth's narration, even Mr. Great Stirling was stunned, let alone those little pawn Aurors. The fact that a third-year student in school took out a vicious thug that even elite Aurors had to be treated with care of is not something that can be explained by a genius.

To kill a person, even if a criminal cares about it, and he doesn't feel it at all, such a cold-blooded person is simply a natural executioner.

"Did you really kill him, it wasn't someone else who did it, but you really did it alone?"

Big Sterling double-checked.

"That's right, like I said, at night time."

Sephiroth was so calm that he repeated that he would not say anything more.

Big Sterling was ecstatic, he didn't pay attention to this little thing of killing people or something. If it's an ordinary wizard, you have to find a way to cover up the truth, but the other party is just a fugitive that no one cares about, then it doesn't matter, kill and kill.

In this kind of troubled times, only those who are strong and ruthless enough are an excellent heir.

The Curse of Death, a forbidden spell used by Sephiroth during this incident, was so powerful that Sirius died on the spot.

That's the most important question, but do those Aurors who work under their fathers have the courage to arrest the son of their boss's boss?

The Aurors present looked at each other, and showed a helpless wry smile in their hearts almost at the same time, I really regret that I came to wade into this troubled water.

"That, Minister? Are we ......"

An Auror, who looked relatively young and probably didn't have much social experience, didn't seem to see the stiffness of the atmosphere at the scene, and asked after a hesitant glance at Sephiroth.

Standing next to the young and reckless wizard, an elderly Auror hurriedly stepped on the somewhat stunned young Auror without a trace, causing the somewhat upright young wizard to grin in pain.

Didn't you see the minister excited? At this time, even if the minister is forced to do business, what will he think of them afterwards, not forcing the minister to wear small shoes for them.

"Ahem! I'll leave this matter to our Ministry of Magic. Believe us, we will never wrong a good person, nor will we let go of a bad person. ”

Big Sterling coughed pretending to cough and raised his hand into his mouth as if he were holding a microphone to speak.

Dumbledore did not interfere with the decision of Mr. Stirling the Great, this is a matter within the Ministry of Magic, and it is also an internal matter, no matter how dissatisfied he Dumbledore is, it is impossible for him to openly meddle in the affairs of the Ministry of Magic.

"Although the problem has been clarified, there are still many things that need to be dealt with by myself. Just give this boy a day off, and let him go back to the Ministry of Magic with us, and it will be over soon. ”

has just become the acting minister of the Ministry of Magic, so naturally he can't show favoritism too obviously, and he still has to do the work on the surface.

"My words, no problem."

Sephiroth doesn't care.

"Since it is the minister's request, the school naturally has no opinion, so I will do as you say."

Dumbledore could only nod his head and let him go, and in fact he couldn't have used lynching. Being too intimate with a wanted murderer is not a good thing for Dumbledore's reputation.

"But what is the Minister going to do about the Unforgivable Curse?"

Although he knew that he couldn't help Sephiroth as a family, Dumbledore was still very unwilling to let Sirius, an innocent wizard, die in this way, even after death.

"The problem of the unforgivable curse must be given a stern warning! This is unshakable, and even if Sephiroth is my child, I will not bend the law for personal gain. ”

His Excellency Great Sterling was righteous.

However, what he said, "severe warning" instead of "severe punishment" is already partial.

"Your Excellency, no matter how you use the 'Unforgivable Curse' on others, you can't spare it so easily!"

Dumbledore was so angry that Sirius died in vain?

"It is naturally unforgivable to use the Unforgivable Spell on his 'person', and the witness at that time also explained that the other party is an Animagus, if it is an Animagus in the face of an animal, although the circumstances are serious, the other party does not really want to kill, this is just an unfortunate misunderstanding."

His Excellency the Great Stirling is the acting minister of the powerful Ministry of Magic, where can you still let the headmaster of a school give his sole heir to Azkaban.

It's as ridiculous as the headmaster of a school who wants to put the child of the country's prime minister in prison.

"Besides, Sirius is a murderous thug, and his little mistakes should be forgiven. Besides, a murderer like this is hiding in Hogwarts, and I don't doubt that some of the teachers in the school are colluding with him! If he had met not the talented Sephiroth, but other innocent students, I could not have imagined what had happened. ”

Lord Stirling the Great pressed further.

Hearing Big Sterling say this, Snape immediately stared at Professor Lupin with his eyes, making Lupin, who had just arrived, smile bitterly.

"If the Minister says so, I can provide a suspicious object."

Lupin didn't even think about it to know that the person Snape was referring to must be himself.

"I did have a relationship with Blake, but that was when we were students, and we haven't been in touch since. Sirius Weishenme would appear at Hogwarts, I didn't know anything about it. ”

Werewolves are already hostile to wizards, and this irrepressible impulse is not popular with any wizard, and Lupin doesn't want to lose his job.

"I never said it was you, is that a self-confession?"

Snape sneered.

The enemy was still in sight, and his backyard was on fire, and Dumbledore became agitated.

"Enough, shut up! As a professor, arguing in front of students is like something. ”

Dumbledore yelled at Lupin and Snape.

"Of course, we believe that all the professors at Hogwarts are people with noble sentiments and professional ethics, and they will definitely not have anything to do with the prisoners."

Big Sterling didn't want to offend Dumbledore, so he naturally played a round.

"Thank you, Minister, for your trust, now please take your people and little Sterling away, the students are going to class, and the professors can't stay here forever."

Dumbledore began to chase away the guests.

"Understood, understood. We're not going to disturb the professors' lecture time, so let's go. Sephiroth, keep up with us. ”

Big Sterling nodded, waved his hand and left in a hurry with the Aurors as he had come, without even taking a sip of water.

A few days later.

"Look, isn't that guy on the latest Daily Prophet Sterling?"

"Oh my God, it's really him!"

"Let me see, what's written?"

"Don't sell it, say it quickly!"

A few days later, early in the morning in the cafeteria, such words came out of the various academies after the owl dropped the newspaper for the new day.

The surprised students flocked to the students who had subscribed to the daily newspaper, and for a moment each newspaper was crowded with heads.

The life of a wizard is very monotonous, especially for these students who rarely even get out of school, and anything that happens to them is worth talking about for a long time.

Hermione spread out an up-to-date newspaper in her hand, reading it to Harry and Ron word by word, as many students crowded around her to listen attentively to the latest news.

"Surprise, future star of the wizarding world! Hogwarts students help the Ministry of Magic capture the fugitive Sirius. ”

The huge, eye-catching headline, which is recognizable to anyone, takes up almost a sixth of the page, and a third is a huge bust of Sephiroth smiling at the camera holding a huge medallion.

To be honest, it's a bit of last year's Lockhart.

"According to insiders, this student is a third-year Hogwarts student, belongs to Slytherin House, and is one of the best students in the school."

According to his classmates, he was a diligent reader, spending an average of several days a week in the library to enrich himself, and possessing knowledge that the average student, or even the vast majority of adult wizards, could match. From this, we can know that it is no accident that he was able to defeat the murderer. ”

"He is very popular, and no teacher hates him at school, and they all praise him as a studious student."

In the Daily Prophet, the reporter praised Sephiroth to the fullest, and simply put all the good things in the world on his head, as if it was not so, it was simply an insult to him.

It seems that having a good father is the same everywhere, even if the Daily Prophet can not buy Voldemort's account, but he does not dare to be disrespectful to the son of the Minister of Magic.

"What kind of bullshit news is this, it's just praising that poisonous snake to the sky!"

Ron grunted dissatisfied, but the jealousy and envy in his eyes couldn't hide it from others.

"Oh, okay. This news once again makes us realize the fact that he is strong, and what does this have to do with us. Anyway, the person caught by that guy is also a Slytherin dark wizard, let them kill each other, maybe this is their own drama. ”

Harry shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, he felt that Hermione was making too much fuss. Anyway, the people who are being held in Azkaban are dark wizards like those Slytherin people, so let them go dog-eat-dog.

"That's not the point, you look at the bottom - the captured fugitive Sirius Black was killed on the spot, right at Hogwarts. Those Aurors must have been here for this last time. ”

Hermione excitedly pointed to the bottom line of the newspaper for Harry to read.

"Yes, yes, we knew he was powerful, is there anything strange about that? Killing people or something, it's definitely not worth mentioning for those dark wizards. ”

Harry and Ron looked at each other, feeling even more inexplicable.

"Look at the name of Zuihou - Sirius Black. Remember? We've heard the name before, right in those notes of your dad. He used to be your dad's best friend. ”
