Chapter 429: Schrödinger's Headmaster
When they returned to the castle together, everyone went their separate ways.
The professors informed the students according to the instructions given by Dumbledore, and Ivan and the others walked towards the headmaster's office.
In order to prevent any panic, Sirius has transformed into the form of a large black dog.
Although a big black dog walked in the castle a little weird, with Lupin and Ivan and others by his side, the little wizards he met along the way did not come up to ask, so he arrived at the door of the principal's office unimpeded.
"Professor Lupin, do you know what the entry and exit codes are?" Ivan turned his head to see Lupin and asked.
"I do know one, but Dumbledore hasn't been back in a while, and I don't know if the original password will still work..."Lupin hesitated for a moment, then tried to speak.
"Cockroach pile!"
Click...
The heavy guardian statue slowly turned, slowly rising to make way for the passage it entered.
Lupin breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Dumbledore hadn't changed his password.
Ivan took the lead and walked into the headmaster's room with the rat, which was much more empty than the last time he came, and seemed indirect and refined.
The most eye-catching thing is a thick letter on the table in the center, and the golden time-turner is pressing the envelope.
The wall behind was covered by a cloth, and Fawkes, with his beautiful plumage, routinely stopped on the olive branch, squinting slightly and napping...
Dumbledore was sitting behind the table at the moment, his eyes under the half-moon round frame of his glasses looking at the two things in front of him, as if he was a little distracted, not noticing their arrival...
"Professor Dumbledore!" Ivan reminded.
The white-bearded old wizard bowed slightly, his eyes scanned the crowd, and he stretched out his hand to sign, indicating that he could speak now.
Ivan nodded, and began with the name of Peter Pettigrew that he had found on the map of the living spot last year, and how he had found out the truth of the matter based on various clues...
This set of rhetoric, Ivan has rehearsed countless times in his heart, there are basically no loopholes, and those things that are really unclear, he threw them all on Peter.
Sirius reasembrance to the form of a wizard, with occasional additions as Ivan explained.
Harry, Luping and others also spoke up to testify for them.
Dumbledore listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time, his expression not changing, as if he had expected it, and even a little impatient.
Ivan keenly noticed Dumbledore's strange appearance, and doubts filled his heart, could it be that the old headmaster had been monitoring what was happening in the school all this time?
And unlike when he was in contact with him before, Ivan did not have the same sense of urgency when he met Dumbledore this time, but felt a little familiar and cordial.
Ivan frowned, he didn't quite understand if this was his own delusion, because Phoenix Fawkes was here, and the Elder Wand was also in the other party's hand.
A few thoughts only flashed through Ivan's mind, and on the surface he didn't stop talking, and he quickly explained the matter clearly.
After hearing this, Dumbledore's face showed a slightly sentimental expression, and he looked at Sirius and spoke in a deep voice.
"Sirius, I'm sorry, it was my mistake... If I had trusted you more then, and had gone to Azkaban to meet you after that incident, I probably wouldn't have let this misunderstanding continue to this day. ”
"Don't say that, Professor, it's not your fault!" Sirius didn't mean to blame Dumbledore.
At the beginning, he took it upon himself to have Jaime temporarily replace him, without telling anyone, and indirectly killed Jaime and Lily, so the result that ended today is completely self-inflicted.
"Thank you for your understanding," Dumbledore sighed, stood up, and said to the crowd.
"So, I think it's time to clear up this misunderstanding and come with me to the Great Hall!"
"Great, Sirius, you finally don't have to hide anymore!" Harry jerked his head to look at Sirius, a look of joy on his face.
Sirius was also very happy, he had been tracked by the Ministry of Magic before, and it was not easy to worry about it every day.
What's more, once he is cleared of his identity as a fugitive, he will be able to meet Harry in the open!
He'd heard Ivan say that adopting Harry's uncle's family wasn't good for Harry, and that he might be able to let Harry move in with him when the time comes...
The only one who was unhappy was Peter, who was still in the form of a mouse, but his body had gone limp, and the whole mouse looked wilted, and he knew that he was completely finished...
Afterwards, Dumbledore beckoned everyone to go to the Great Hall, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly looked at Ivan.
"Hals, you stay here, the letters and things on the table are left for you, and when you finish reading the letters, you will come to the Great Hall to gather..."
"I think you can understand what's going on!" Dumbledore winked at him before leaving, adding.
Ivan watched the figures of the crowd go away, confused.
He looked at the letters and the time-turner on the table, thought for a moment, picked up the time-turner and put it in the pocket of the wizard's robe, and then opened the envelope.
Inside the envelope, there was a list, several letters, and a small bottle with a pinch of white hair...
Ivan was even more puzzled, and looked at them one by one, there were some names written in the list, and the titles were specially marked below, all of which were some high-ranking officials of the Inquisition and the Ministry of Magic who had a good relationship with Dumbledore.
The letters were only signed with Dumbledore's name at the end, and the contents were blank, except for one letter that said something...
After reading the contents of the letter, Ivan's face became more and more ugly, and he almost slapped the table in anger and scolded his mother!
Dumbledore wrote in the letter that he had known what was going on here through the time turner, but that he was doing something very important and couldn't get away with it for the time being.
Dumbledore was very pleased with what Ivan had done well before, so he said that the school affairs were temporarily handled by Ivan, and he believed that Ivan could handle it properly.
When necessary, Ivan can borrow his identity to act.
The remaining letters were enchanted by the old professor, and by pressing his wand against the blank envelope he could convert the contents of his mind into words, and he had already signed the names in advance.
In the meantime, Fox will follow the command, and use it to send letters to those old friends and get some help.
Finally, at the end, Dumbledore bluntly stated that he would come back when the court was in session.
By the way, there will be a surprise for Ivan ...
