"You think Blake is still hiding around Hogwarts?" The lady asked in a whisper

"I'm sure he's still there," Fudge affirmed

"But the Dementors have already searched my bar twice," the lady said with a hint of resentment, "and a lot of customers were scared away and ruined my business. ”

"My dear, I don't want to, I don't like them. I've just met a few others who are annoyed that Dumbledore has banned Dementors from the school. Fudge was embarrassed

"Of course they can't be allowed into the school!" Professor McGonagall said fiercely, "Let this stuff wander around the school, how do we teach?" ”

"Yes, yes," Professor Flitwick's voice was even sharper

"But it's necessary," Fudge argued, "and you and I know what that Blake can do." ”

"Seriously, I still can't believe it," mused Lady Rosmerta, "of all the people who have joined the Dark Lord's side, Blake is the least of all those who have come to the Dark Lord's side. I can still remember what he looked like when he was at Hogwarts. If you had told me at that time that he would have become such a person, I would have thought you had drunk too much. ”

"You're just the tip of the iceberg," Fudge said coldly, "if you knew the worst thing he'd ever done.... Hmph—"

Harry chuckled in his heart. He had already guessed what Fudge was going to say next

"Hold your breath, Harry." Ivy reminded softly

"Hmm," Harry replied in a deep voice

————

"The worst?" The lady frowned, "You mean there's something worse than killing so many people?" ”

"Of course," Fudge replied

"I'm sorry," Ms. Rosmerta said, holding up her hands and with some difficulty, "I can't imagine what could be worse than this." ”

"You said you remember what he was like at Hogwarts, but do you know who his best friend is?" Professor McGonagall asked

"It's forget," the lady chuckled, "James Potter - never saw them separate"

"Yes, Black and Potter~" Professor McGonagall sighed, "Both of them are very smart, inseparable, and those who don't know will think they are brothers."

"No," Fudge continued, "Potter trusts Blake more than any of his friends, and he hasn't changed since graduation. When James and Lily got married, Blake was still the best man. He later became Harry Jr.'s godfather. ”

"Ahh ”

"Look at what I'm doing, I don't know" Harry was also at a loss

————

"Hopefully Harry won't know about this"

"Just because Blake is a Death Eater?" The lady said uncertainly

"It's much worse than this.," Fudge's voice darkened, "because of a prophecy, Voldemort is looking for the Potters." But at the time, almost no one knew about it. Luckily, Dumbledore had some capable agents, and one of them confided in him. He immediately alerted Jaime and Lily, advising them to hide. ”

"But it's not that easy to get past Voldemort. Dumbledore told them that the best thing to do was to use the Loyalty Charm. ”

"I know the spell, the magic that hides a secret in the soul of the chosen one, the one who keeps it secret." The lady whispered, "So, Blake is Potter's secret man?" ”

"Naturally," Professor McGonagall replied, "Jaime told Dumbledore that Blake would never say where they were, and that Blake himself was prepared to hide. Dumbledore, however, was still uneasy. I remember that he offered to be the confidential man himself. ”

"He's already suspicious of Blake?" The lady was surprised

"No," Professor McGonagall shook her head, "but he concluded that someone around the Potters had been reporting Voldemort's movements."

"But Jaime didn't change the Secret Man?"

"Jaime insisted on Black," Professor McGonagall said bitterly

"So—as a result—" asked Ms. Rosmerta in a low voice

As a result, less than a week after the Loyalty Charm was cast, Voldemort found the Potters. Brutally kill Jaime and Lily! ”

"Despicable! Filthy traitor! Hagrid exclaimed. He also knew these inside information

"I ran into him!" Hagrid roared, "After Lily and Jaime died, it was I who rescued Harry from the rubble of his house!" Poor little guy with a long wound on his forehead, both parents are dead..... That's when Sirius Black appeared, riding his old flying motorcycle. I didn't even know what he was doing, and I didn't know he was Jaime's secret. I thought he got the news and rushed to the rescue. The boy was pale and trembling. Any idea what I did? I also comforted the traitor who killed people! ”

"Please! Keep your voice down! Do you want everyone to know! Professor McGonagall scolded

"How do I know he's not feeling sorry for Lily and James? He cares about Voldemort! Then he said, 'Give me Harry, I'm his godfather.' I'll take care of him—'Good thing I had Dumbledore's order to tell him Harry was going to his aunt's house. Blake argued with me, but eventually gave in and asked me to take Harry on his motorcycle. 'I don't need it anymore,' he said. ”

"I should have thought there was something suspicious about this. That motorcycle was his beloved thing, why did he give it to me? Why did he say he didn't need it anymore? In fact, it's too easy to track. Dumbledore knew he was a secret. Blake needs to escape overnight, otherwise the people at the Ministry of Magic will want him immediately. ”

"It's good I didn't hand Harry over to him. If he did, I bet he'd just throw the kid into the ocean! His best friend's son! ”

As Hagrid's story ended, the bar fell silent. After a long time, Lady Rosmerta said with a hint of pleasure, "But he didn't escape, did he!" The Ministry of Magic caught him the next day! ”

"Alas~ it would be nice if it was us," Fudge said bitterly, "it wasn't us who found him." It's Peter Pettigrew, another friend of Potter's. ”

"Pettigrew? That little chubby boy who always follows them like a fart? The lady recalled

"Adore Blake and Potter like heroes," Professor McGonagall said, "and he's never on the same level as them in terms of talent. I was often him. You can imagine how much I regret it now," he said, gradually nasal.

"All right, Minerva," Fudge said gently, "Pettigrew died heroically. Eyewitnesses—all Muggles, of course, whose memories we later erase—said that Pettigrew had intercepted Blake, crying out, 'Lily and James!' Sirius, how did you get it? Then he drew his wand. Unfortunately, Blake was quicker than him, blasting Pettigrew to pieces first. ”

"Poor boy," said Professor McGonagall, covering her mouth and nose, and said in an urn in an angry voice, "that his duel is always hopeless..... It should be handed over to the Ministry of Magic."

"If I had stopped Blake first, I wouldn't have wasted time pulling my wand - I'd tear him to pieces with my own hands!" Hagrid said in a gruff voice

"Do you know what you're talking about! Hagrid "Fudge yelled" to stop Blake, only the well-trained batters of the magical law enforcement team could have some chance of winning. I was the deputy director of the Department of Magical Calamity, and I was one of the first to arrive after Blake killed them all. I will never forget that scene, and I still dream about it sometimes. A large crater exploded in the center of the street, so deep that even the sewer cracked. Corpses were strewn all over the place, and Muggles were crying and screaming. Blake laughed as he stood, and all that was left of the Pettigrew in front of him was a pile of blood-stained robes and a few fragments! ”

......

Then we talked about the aftermath and left.

"Ivey, do you know what they're talking about?" On the way back, Harry asked

"I don't know," Ivy shook his head, "I only know the cause and effect, and I've only heard the details in between." ”

"Hearing them say this, it feels like Blake betrayed Harry's parents," Hermione wavered

"I don't think so," Ivey said

"Then tell me"

"Actually, I've just heard so much, but most of it is nonsense. We just need to filter out the most critical information."

"What is the key message?" Harry asked

"Sirius' performance"

"His performance?"

"Yes. Most of their conversations have a certain emotional element in them, and they cannot be taken as reliable information. But as the parties involved, there is no need to fake the various manifestations of Sirius they have seen, and they can be regarded as reliable clues. ”

The crowd fell into deep thought

Ivey looked at them and smiled slightly, "Maybe you only memorized the approximation, I'll help you sort it out and see if it's right." "After that, there was a pause for two seconds" First of all, Hagrid, who said a word, it was Blake's behavior when he arrived at the scene, 'The boy was pale and trembling'. Right? ”

"Yes," Hermione affirmed

Then he said: Blake told him to take Harry on his motorcycle.

"Hmm," Harry nodded

Then there were some Muggle testimonies: Pettigrew intercepted Blake and blew Pettigrew to pieces. This is also a credible message. ”

"Go on," Harry mused

Finally, Fudge arrived at the scene and said: where Blake was standing laughing, all that was left of the Pettigrew in front of him was a pile of blood-stained robes and a few fragments.

"These are things we can believe. Since Blake and Pettigrew are suspects, what the two say is not a reference. ”

"But what does this mean?" Hermione asked, frowning

"You can't tell anything by looking at it, and you're bringing those words into the whole affair—" Ivy said

Sirius rushed to Harry's parents' hideout. After seeing the ruins, his face turned pale and he trembled. When he found out that Harry was still alive, he wanted to take care of it himself. After arguing to no avail, after learning where Harry went, he gave away his beloved motorcycle. Then, intercept Pettigrew, blow him to pieces and stand there laughing. Ivy recounted the story in a slow voice
