Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 408 The Truth
Anduin was able to make such a judgment, which is actually very simple. If Sirius hadn't lied, then there are only two possibilities for Lily and his wife to be found by Voldemort. One is that there is a problem with the "Curse of Fidelity" itself, and the other is the Secret Keeper. It wasn't Sirius in the first place.

But when he was in the second grade, he found that he could not contact Lily, so it proved that they were indeed protected by the 'Curse of Loyalty', and there was no such thing as breaking the spell. It is very powerful, and it is impossible to bypass the secrecy rules. Whether it is Legilimency, Veritaserum, or torture, if the secret keeper does not reveal it sincerely, the secret cannot be known to outsiders.

Then there is only one other possibility.

After Sirius heard Anduin made this inference, his expression suddenly became more and more painful, as if falling into duty, he hugged his head with his only hand.

"Stop talking, don't make me recall these painful things, it's all my fault, I failed Potter and Lily's trust, I chose the wrong person!" After finishing speaking, Black held his head He firmly pressed against the iron fence, as if he was torturing himself.

"Sure enough, as I expected." Anduin ignored Sirius' actions, but continued to speculate, "Since you are not the secret-keeper, who will be the real secret-keeper of the Potters' family must first be worthy of your trust. people."

"And the ones who have the best relationship with you are you, Potter, Lupine, and Peter Pettigrew. If the secret keeper is not you, and Peter looks a little timid, there is a high probability that you will not choose Him, so Lupine? He's your chosen secret-keeper?"

"No, if it was Lupine who betrayed Potter, you would definitely risk your life and want revenge." Anduin shook his head in denial, then remembered what happened to Sirius after Potter was killed, and immediately realized The key, "By the way, it's Peter!"

"The secret keeper you re-selected is Peter, right? You wanted to deceive everyone, but you were mistaken by your cleverness. Peter Pettigrew is the real traitor in the Order of the Phoenix, and your re-selection is tantamount to directly exposing the secret to the Dark Lord. , and after Potter was killed, you will find Peter immediately, and it is also for this reason, do you want revenge?"

After Anduin deduced this series of events, the more he thought about it, the more logical it became.

When Sirius heard Anduin say this dusty past, he immediately shuddered and fell silent.

"It seems that what I said is correct, isn't it?" After seeing Sirius' reaction, Anduin was sure that his inference was correct, "Why don't you justify? It was Peter who really betrayed the Potters, and you should be innocent That's right."

"Anduin, you're really smart." Sirius' voice at this time was as thin as a thread, but tears kept running across his cheeks and slowly dripping down his chin, "But, if I didn't propose to change the secret keeper If you believe Peter's words, Potter and Lily will not die at all, it is I who killed them, I am guilty."

"So you would rather be imprisoned in Azkaban than torture yourself?" Anduin felt unreasonable about Sirius' thoughts after learning the truth. Do you think you made a mistake and you want to torture yourself?
"Only staying here can make me feel less guilty. Anduin, leave me alone, let me stay here to atone for Lily and Potter." Sirius said with a choked tone. Du Yin recalled the previous response, only feeling extremely painful.

"But you are innocent. It is useless for you to lock yourself up here. If you really think you are wrong, you should go out and speak with your actions. You must know that there are still many death-eating people out there." As for the disciples, they are all the Dark Lord's accomplices."

Anduin found that Sirius had become so negative and depressed now, so he had to persuade him patiently.

"I can't imagine getting out of here, Anduin!" Speaking of which, Sirius suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a desperate expression, "I've been here for so many years, and I can't forget what I did. My fault, I can’t let myself go, you’d better get out of here quickly, let me fend for myself in a dark corner, this is the result I deserve, as for the other Death Eaters, I believe in Dumbledore, and I also believe in You, what you can do by yourself, even if I add it, it will not add any effect."

"This..." Hearing this, Anduin was immediately lost his temper by Sirius. How could there be such a stubborn person who was unwilling to leave the prison even though he was innocent.

If Sirius himself is not willing to go out, then even if Black can be proved innocent to everyone, the promise made to him by Minister Budnau will not be fulfilled at all.

Then Anduin kept persuading Sirius again, trying to use the outside world and Lupine, the only remaining friend, to persuade him, but it still didn't help.

In the end, Sirius still buried his head deeply, holding his head tightly with his hands, expressing resistance to all of Anduin's words.

Seeing this, Anduin had no choice but to turn his head helplessly, and once again looked at Minister Badeno who was standing aside.

At this time, the minister hadn't recovered from the shock of the news he just received. Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper, and he was the real traitor?Budnor really couldn't believe such a result. In order to commemorate the dead Peter Pettigrew, the Ministry of Magic even awarded him a first-class Medal of the Order of Merlin.

If all of this is overturned, the implications could be bigger than the release of Sirius.

However, after seeing Anduin looking at him, Minister Budnor nodded and gave him a supportive response.

Anduin thought of a point that might impress Sirius after trying hard to persuade Sirius to no avail.

"Sirius, what about Harry? Have you just given up on your godson? Potter and Lily are gone, and it's your responsibility to take care of their children! Are you going to let Harry grow up alone, without any In the environment of relatives?"

After Anduin finished speaking, he even took out a magical photo from his pocket, which was the family portrait he took together when he spent Christmas at Potter's house five years ago.

After hearing his words, Anduin obviously felt Sirius tremble all over, as if he had touched a sore spot.

At the same time, when he saw the family portrait that Anduin handed over, Sirius couldn't hold back, and took it as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then stared blankly at the Potter couple in the photo, who had been held in Anduin's arms Harry.
