Chapter 160: The Truth and the Truth
The wizarding world lives like the last century, but in some ways it's really convenient.
For example, right now, Sirius, who was woken up by cold water, was in a daze.
Because his sense of smell was destroyed by John's big dung egg, he didn't even notice Snape sneaking closer, so he was tricked.
He only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and his mind had not yet turned.
"Come, Dalang, drink the medicine."
In a daze, someone fed himself a glass of water.
Sirius, whose brain hadn't turned, opened his mouth and was poured into it, only to react when he swallowed.
Looking up suddenly, John was holding a glass of water with a kind expression as if he was caring for a patient.
He saw a gloomy and sallow face, and subconsciously said, "Snot? ”
John noticed that Professor Snape's face visibly became darker.
Reacting that something was wrong, Sirius was furious and said, "What did you give me to drink!" ”
"Isn't it telling you to drink medicine?" John said innocently.
Sirius's heart was half cold, and from his point of view, the two men were simply a bad combination.
This was the most disagreeable rival of his student days, and now in his hands, I am afraid it is no different from entering Azkaban.
John was very satisfied with the effect of the elixir, conjured a chair and sat down, and smiled, "Speaking of which, it's not the first time we've met, Sirius Black. ”
"You're really good, you made that fog, right?"
Unable to resist, Sirius sat down in the wet dirt and said, "But before that, I have something to say. ”
"Please." John noticed that Snape's face was always cold, and he always felt like he was going to pull out his wand and use the Death Reminder Charm in the next second.
He also wanted to know more secrets, preferably about Voldemort.
After all, he and Voldemort are in an immortal state, and both of his Horcruxes have been scrapped by himself.
During Sirius' coma, John also learned quite a few things.
Snape revealed that Sirius was the one responsible for the Potters' deaths.
This made John want to know the secret even more, after all, as a traitor, he should know more than ordinary Death Eaters.
After being imprisoned by Azkaban for twelve years, Sirius had some problems with his mental state.
He looked at John and said heavily, "I'm not a murderer, it's him, the guy who hid!" ”
As he spoke, he yelled like a deranged.
John subconsciously threw out a slap and slapped Sirius in the face, he is usually a sword-wielding person, and this slap directly swollen Sirius's face.
Fortunately, Sirius was also awakened, and he muttered, "It's him, it's the coward, he betrayed James, he betrayed James!" ”
John turned his gaze to Snape, wondering if he had just hit his head and hit him stupid.
Snape looked at Sirius's swollen face, and even gave people a sense of eagerness.
"Okay, what do you mean, you're not a murderer, so who is?"
John wanted to ask about Voldemort, but now that Sirius looked like this, he had to follow the words.
"Peter Pettigrew!" Sirius's eyes were bloodshot and mad.
Snape sneered, "Peter Pettigrew, you may have forgotten that you killed that man twelve years ago. ”
He sneered at John, and said impatiently, "All right, John, give him to the Aurors, the Dementors will remind him of it." ”
Hearing the Dementors, Sirius looked terrified.
When John heard Peter Pettigrew's name, his mind moved and he remembered Ron's mouse.
Snape promised John because he had something to figure out.
Seeing him approaching Snape, his facial expression became a little hideous, and he said, "Tell me, who helped you escape from Azkaban and enter Hogwarts, and who is that Neo?" It's not Remus Lupin. ”
He was expectant, and he was more than happy to hear the name of Remus Lupin on his lips.
However, this is not the case.
"No, it's not Moon Face, I only have two friends here."
Sirius was reluctant to answer his rival's question, but he couldn't control the elixir.
"Crookshan, Tom, they're my friends, help me catch Peter Pettigrew." ”
When John heard Tom's name, he couldn't help but be disappointed, fiddled with the cherry wood wand in his hand, and said lightly, "This wand was also given to you by Tom, right?" ”
He shuddered slightly, he didn't expect his dog to steal his wand for someone else.
If it were a normal dog, Tom could understand people and know what a wand meant to a wizard.
Thinking so, Sirius over there spoke.
"No, it's not." He said: "This wand was picked up near the beating willow. ”
"What?"
John was stunned, wasn't it sent by Tom?
He stared at Sirius and asked word by word, "Who gave it to you?" ”
It is impossible for his wand to run on its own long legs, John asked again, and the result was still the same, picked up near the beating willow.
His face darkened, and he said to Snape, "Professor, is it that the truth elixir has failed, do you want to add some more?" ”
Hearing this, Snape smiled cruelly, took out the truth elixir, pinched Sirius's mouth directly, and poured a full vial into it.
Sirius resisted angrily, but Snape almost took out the cauldron and poured it into it when he heard that he could pour the elixir into his nemesis.
A bottle of belly, Sirius even said how old he was when he wetted the bed.
At the same time, John also learned the 'truth', it was not Sirius who killed the Potter family.
The Potters used the Loyalty Charm, which required the designation of a secret person, and as long as the secret person did not open his mouth, even if it was right at the door, Voldemort would not be able to discover the Potter family.
James Potter only trusted Sirius, not even Dumbledore.
It's just that Sirius feels that he must be the focus of the Death Eaters, so he asks Jaime to replace the secret man with Peter Pettigrew.
"We trusted him so much that we didn't even think about Remus." At this, Sirius roared.
For twelve years, he had lived in remorse.
He felt that he had killed his best friend, and this guilt was completely lost after Peter Pettigrew faked his death, and he allowed the Aurors to capture him and become a prisoner of Azkaban.
It wasn't until he read the newspaper and saw that the traitor who killed the Potters was at large, that he escaped Azkaban and swam across the ocean to Hogwarts.
Snape and John listened, and they didn't say a word.
Excluding the possibility that Sirius was proficient in Occlumency and that the elixir had failed, those words would be enough to become a huge stain on the Ministry of Magic.
"Professor, what are you going to do with him?"
In the silence, John was the first to speak.
Snape glanced at him, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.
John smiled slightly, showed eight teeth, and said, "I mean, do you want to end your previous grudge with him?" ”
Sirius also looked up at John, the boy in the Slytherin uniform, speaking in a harmless tone.
"No one knows, not even the Aurors, if we say that he attacked the student and killed him on the spot, or threw him to the Dementors and let the Dementors suck the soul out."
A chill rose from the hearts of the two adult wizards, who looked at John with a look of astonishment and horror in their eyes.
Stunned, it was Snape, he didn't expect John to say such a thing.
It was Sirius who was frightened, and John knew the truth, but could say it calmly.
This means that John didn't care about the lives of innocent people.
Terrible.
Two wizards come up with frightening thoughts at the same time.
Snape reprimanded with a cold face: "John Wick! ”
John shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, the professor is magnanimous, and if I can, I hope to keep him locked up for the time being, after all, we also have to verify the truth." ”
Without continuing to say the terrible thoughts, Snape's face was slightly better.
In fact, John wanted to use Sirius as a bargaining chip to talk to the Ministry of Magic, and now that he knows the truth of this matter twelve years ago, it is even more exciting.
Peter Pettigrew was awarded the Order of Merlin, 1st Class for his honorable death, and he was honored as a hero.
At this time, this hero is far away from the quagmire, and only John is left with how to deal with it.
If Rufus Scrimgeour continued that attitude, John wouldn't mind letting the truth come out to light and let the masses see the Ministry of Magic scandal.
The truth of misjudgment, with the Death Eaters as heroes.
If he continues to be a good partner of Johnny's silver, John can hide this matter and give Scrimgeour a big favor.
Let this truth be buried, and the Ministry of Magic will still be brilliant.
But Professor Snape is here, and John doesn't want to be too blunt.
Locking Sirius up, John and Snape walked out of the Forbidden Forest side by side.
Snape hurried, and John watched him leave.
Either way, finding Peter Pettigrew is a must.
His gaze was deep, and John's fingers rubbed the ring, and the dark ring was inhabited by a terrible curse, and through the inky gem, it was like a dark water flowing inside.
