For a while, there was silence on the Black Lake.

Connor didn't continue to speak, and Headmaster Dumbledore was silent.

'Bang la la'

Suddenly, the otherwise calm surface of the Black Lake rippled, as if to indicate something.

And when Connor subconsciously looked at the center of the ripples, he saw a large black fish soaring into the air and rushing out of the water.

'Smack'

A drop of water landed on Connor's face, causing him to reach out and wipe the cold droplet.

He just looked back at the old man who seemed to be lost in thought.

"Headmaster?"

With a call, Dumbledore's deep eyes cleared again, signaling that he had returned from that contemplation.

Connor ......

This is the first time he has officially called the name.

"You see all this unconsciously, in a dream, don't you?"

"Yes, Headmaster, what's wrong with the name?"

“…… There is indeed a certain problem, child, I think you should know what happened 11 years ago? ”

"Voldemort's death?"

It's no secret, and while Connor didn't care about it before, it's mentioned even in Hogwarts.

Harry Potter.

With the very powder of the baby, he defeated the big devil who seemed to be invincible at the time, but it was not without a price.

Harry's parents, the Potters, also fell on the night the mystery man died.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Potters were betrayed, right?"

"Yes, everyone now thinks they were good friends with the Potters: Cyris Black betrayed the Potters as the secret keeper of their shelter, and he betrayed James and Lily's place to Tom...... That is, Voldemort, which led to the death of the Potters. ”

"Peter Pettigrew is also a good friend of the Potters, right?"

"He is also a good friend of Siris, who tracked down his friend in order to find out the truth about the death of the Potters, and when he was questioned, he clashed, and was murdered and killed, while Siris was captured and thrown into prison in Azkaban."

"But that's not the truth, at least Peter wouldn't be some sacrificial hero, otherwise he wouldn't have to hide from XZ at all."

"Yes, it does seem that way now."

"Do you know that, Headmaster?"

A slightly cool breeze blows through the Black Lake, making the calm lake ripple beautifully.

Reaching out and caressing the calm surface of the lake, Connor looked up at Dumbledore's face.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, did you know that Sirius Black is innocent?"

Then Connor sighed at the sight of the stellar headmaster, who was supposed to be wise and wise:

"I don't know, kid."

There was silence as the boat continued to move closer, but Connor's heart sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Meow~"

The beautiful cat on his shoulder whispered, and he touched Phil's child's lips and scratched her chin slightly.

After a long silence, Connor spoke slowly:

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I'll sort things over a bit, don't you see right?"

Dumbledore's brow twitched, the old man clearly knew what Connor was talking about, but he nodded.

"Say it, kid."

And so, a strange scene that would definitely surprise people appeared.

One student and one principal.

A child with an old man.

The former questioned the latter in this way:

"First of all, you know that Sirius is the Potters' secret keeper."

"Yes."

"Then I think he must be very trustworthy, otherwise you wouldn't agree to such a thing, would you?"

"Yes, Siris is trusted, and Jaime and Lily are even ready to make him the godfather of Harry's child."

"And when Sirius was captured at the scene of an explosion and Peter Pettigrew died some time after the Potters died, I thought, at this point, the cause and effect of the Potters' deaths were conclusive, right?"

"Yes, it was I who provided strong evidence to the Ministry of Magic, and it was I who proved that Jaime and the others had chosen Siris as the secret keeper of the sanctuary."

The old headmaster was unexpectedly honest, and there was nothing to hide.

But that's why Connor was confused.

"But now you tell me that you don't know Sirius is innocent...... Do you think that makes sense? ”

"I'm not lying, kid."

There was no arrogance or toughness, and the old principal's attitude was immature and sincere.

Connor could sense that Dumbledore was not a hypocrite.

Moreover, the principal was not denying it, he was just euphemistically expressing the situation at that time.

"Siris didn't say anything at the beginning, he only said that he killed Jaime and Lily, he was sorry for Harry, and he confessed to all the accusations of the Law Department."

It sounds like a tragedy.

Under normal circumstances, these may be explained by so-called misunderstandings.

The world's greatest wizard, Albus Dumbledore, didn't intervene in this after all, he just told what he knew.

But there is also a very important problem, one that cannot be ignored even by leaving aside all the minor flaws.

That's identity!

"Headmaster, you are the most powerful wizard in the world, and I have heard a lot about you, and since a long time ago, you have been called a genius and so on."

“……”

"Investigation is not difficult for you, it is even a very simple thing, there is a spell that can do it directly, read the heart, and even check the memory, Sirius's innocence is actually very good proof...... If you are willing to do so. ”

But what are the facts?

The truth is that Sirius Black is still in Azkaban prison, charged with betraying his friend and causing the Potters' deaths.

"You didn't do that, Headmaster, even if it was so simple."

"Yes, kid, I didn't do that."

Dumbledore nodded slowly.

"Even if those things were really simple, I didn't do that."

"Why?"

"Because something...... It's the bottom line, it's like an abyss, it seems convenient, but once you get used to its existence and the convenience it brings, terrible things will happen. ”

It was at this moment that Connor suddenly understood what Headmaster Dumbledore meant by what he had said earlier.

"Sometimes, because you're guessing, you need someone else's answer, Connor."

"We have to learn to listen and listen to other people's answers and ideas, otherwise we will ruin many people."

"I'm not as strong as you think, kid, I'm just an ordinary old man."

Dumbledore's words began to churn through his mind, and Connor felt like he had spied the answer out of it.

Although, it sounds ridiculous.

"Are you scared of ......"
