Chapter 125: The Unexpected (Added to the Testimony of the Glory of Book Friends)
Sirius didn't relent, appearing at Hogsmeade on the third day of Kano's departure.
Harry and Lupin didn't stop him, as the Daily Prophet newspaper published the news of Peter Pettigrew's execution, which made them sit still.
Fudge had such a good attitude towards the sudden appearance of Sirius that he almost knelt down to lick his shoes. But when he asked to see Peter's body, Fudge turned to him.
"Now that we're done, let's talk about the Ministry of Magic's compensation."
"I just wanted to see his corpse..."
"How about doubling the compensation?"
Sirius bites to death and does not let go, and Fudge would rather spend several times the amount than agree.
In the end, it was Dumbledore who sent a message to Sirius, and he inexplicably received a huge amount of compensation.
"What the hell is going on? Dumbledore? ”
One night after school started, Sirius and Kano were in the principal's office, and Sirius asked the old headmaster a question.
"Because Peter didn't die, he ran away." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Let the person concerned tell you about this." ”
The golden-red line of fire flashed, and Phoenix Fox took Kingsley. Shackel came to the headmaster's office.
He was a secret member of the Order of the Phoenix, and had been informing Dumbledore about the Aurors' office's operations.
There are actually many such people, all over the British wizarding world.
Fortunately, Dumbledore was not prepared to rebel, otherwise Britain would have been able to compete with France in surrendering quickly.
"Ahem, I'm sorry."
Although Kingsley was a black man, he could still be seen to be very haggard.
Kano stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, the magic sweeping around him, frowning.
"What's going on, what weird things have you been exposed to lately?"
"You're talking about the black mist?" Kingsley's face was confused, and Dumbledore had a look on his face.
Kano slapped his palm on Kingsley's chest, injecting the magic of positive energy directly into it. Kingsley spat out a mouthful of black mist, and Kano squeezed it in his hand.
Although the black fog quickly dissipated, Kano determined its essence.
"Hell's breath... Thank you for your hard work, let's talk about the process carefully. ”
Kingsley let out a cheerful sigh and began to speak in detail.
Fudge originally wanted to keep Peter, and wait until Sirius was found to execute Peter, which could be regarded as appeasing Sirius's emotions and giving an explanation to the public.
Kingsley and another Auror set off with Peter via the only direct fireplace in the whole of Britain to Azkaban, but something goes wrong on the way.
"Wait, did I hear me wrong?" Sirius asked suspiciously, "What's on the road' on the Floo Net trip, isn't it all at once?" ”
Kingsley smiled wryly, "The Ministry of Magic didn't get it either, all I saw was a black fog filling the air, and then all three of us were spewing out of the chimney of an abandoned hut." ”
"But that route is protected by ancient magic, and it can only lead to Azkaban."
Anyway, when Kingsley opened his eyes, all three of them were lying on the ground moaning, and Peter was still the worst fall.
But the black mist that spread from his arm seemed to manipulate his body directly, and Kingsley watched as Peter widened his eyes and stood up straight like a spring.
Peter, whose head was bleeding, prayed for something, and finally the black mist cleared, and he shuddered and took the wand of another Auror, turned into a mouse and disappeared into the forest.
"Wait, are you sure he's turned into a rat?" Kano couldn't help but speak, and Kingsley nodded.
"That's right, don't you know he's an Animagus?"
Kano waved his hand and didn't answer, he didn't care about that.
The magic with the "spell-breaking" characteristic that he poured into Peter's body a few days ago is not so easy to remove, and it stands to reason that Peter will not even think about transforming or casting spells for at least a month.
"It's funny, that black fog also floated out of the black mark." Kano asked, biting his lip.
"Judging from the location of the source of the black fog, that's right." Kingsley affirmed.
Seeing that Kano was thinking, Dumbledore sent Kingsley back first, Sirius said that he would capture Peter even if he chased him to the ends of the earth, and Dumbledore also comforted him and let him leave first.
"Looks like Voldemort made a move?"
"I think so."
"It's really gratifying that he has finally changed from a village and town gangster in children's literature to a real villain." Although Kano was telling jokes in his mouth, his expression was very solemn.
Dumbledore also knew that Carnot was pretending to be relaxed: "Although he and... Grindelwald's overall view cannot be compared, but just looking at the strength, the two are not much different. ”
"This time I miscalculated, I still underestimated him." Kano candidly admitted his mistake, "In order to penetrate his psychological defenses in public, I asked Snape to concoct a potion that would activate the Dark Mark. ”
"It seems that this act made Voldemort sense Peter's situation and rescue him at a critical moment."
If you think about it, in the original book, Peter found Voldemort in the Albanian forest by "asking".
It's like Lao Mei's plane hovering in the sky every day, trying to get ** out of the hole.
Peter passed with a big grin.
"Hello uncle, in which cave are you hiding from Naruto?"
"Oh, it's Peter, your boss turns right in front of you and the third hole. Don't go out and talk nonsense. ”
This is outrageous. Voldemort was definitely able to monitor and manipulate Death Eaters through the Dark Mark mark.
But now he was too weak, and the loyalty of the Death Eaters outside was questionable, so he didn't dare to find anyone else, so he had to capture Peter's strong men.
Kano originally wanted to let Peter die, and after he and Dumbledore had all the Horcruxes obtained, he would let Snape pretend to be a loyal servant to resurrect Voldemort, and finally let Harry get him and fulfill the prophecy.
But Voldemort's hand turned the trajectory back in the dark.
"Don't worry too much, Kano." Dumbledore smiled and reassured, "Your plan is nine out of ten successful, and the last bit of an accident can be regarded as a wake-up call." ”
"Our enemies are fierce and cunning."
"I see, Headmaster." Kano secretly made up his mind and changed the subject.
"By the way, how's that crown doing?"
"It's still a little short, and it should be done by the end of the semester." Dumbledore looked at the chest at his feet, "The crown itself is also protected by a powerful spell, so it will take longer. ”
Well, then wait a little longer.
Voldemort was in remote command, right?
This summer, Lao Tzu sent someone to squat at the door of the mad-eyed man's house to wait, and if little Crouch dared to come, I would let him hit the street on the spot!
