Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

"I think you must let me go in to see Sirius." Dumbledore said, looking at the old Crouch in front of him.

"No, this is impossible, Professor." Old Crouch refused without hesitation. "The evidence of his guilt is conclusive, and he also personally admitted that he killed the Potter family."

"I don't think you have any reason to stop me from seeing Sirius." Dumbledore's eyes were still the same, but it made Old Crouch a little uncomfortable, but he still sat in his office chair without any hesitation. The thought of getting up.

Dumbledore looked at Old Crouch, "I think I can go to Azkaban by myself and meet Sirius."

Crouch Sr. opened his mouth to say something, but an owl arrived just in time at the window of the Office of the Director of the Executive Division.

Dumbledore looked at the window, and Old Crouch followed his gaze and looked back, "Looks like he's here to find you, Professor."

He opened the window and let Holmes in. Holmes handed a letter to Dumbledore and then flew out of the window.

A trace of surprise flashed in Dumbledore's eyes. He opened the letter and scanned it quickly, then looked up at Old Crouch, "Crouch, take me to see Sirius now, otherwise I don't mind using the Wizengamot." and the President of the International Confederation of Wizards, to investigate your imprisonment of prisoners in Azkaban without trial."

Old Crouch seemed to be instantly discouraged. He slumped down in his chair and said, "Okay, Professor Dumbledore."

He stood up and walked to the door, "Come with me, Professor, we are going to Azkaban now."

In a gloomy cell in Azkaban, Dumbledore saw a haggard Sirius. He looked very depressed. His clothes were full of holes, and some exposed wounds could be seen.

Old Crouch motioned to the people accompanying him, they opened the cell door, and Dumbledore walked into the cell.

He stood in front of Sirius, looking down at James' once best friend. Sirius looked up at the person and said in surprise: "Professor"

"Sirius, I'm here to hear you tell me everything." Dumbledore looked at Sirius' eyes full of haggard and guilt. He didn't think someone with such eyes would betray his friend.

Sirius' voice was choked, "Teach me, I killed James."

"I came here not to hear your confession, but to seek the truth of the incident." Dumbledore looked at Sirius.

A few tears flowed from Sirius's eyes, "I, my arrogance killed James and Lily. I persuaded James to adopt a plan that I thought was perfect, and replaced the Secret Keeper with Pettigrew. Damn traitor."

"But the traitor in your mouth has been killed by you, and also took away the lives of twelve Muggles." Old Crouch interjected.

"That was done by Peter Pettigrew. He used some taboo methods to forcibly increase the magic output." Sirius' voice was filled with anger when he mentioned Pettigrew.

"But he is already dead, and you are making nothing." Old Crouch looked at Sirius coldly and said disdainfully, "Stop making excuses, Sirius, you are a traitor."

"Old Crouch, can you please be quiet for a moment?" Dumbledore turned to look at Old Crouch, with a rare hint of impatience in his eyes.

Old Crouch was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he nodded and then moved a little away from the cell. "Okay, Professor."

Dumbledore looked into Sirius's eyes. After a few seconds, he looked away, then took out his wand to restore Sirius's wounds and clothes.

Dumbledore turned and looked at Old Crouch, "I believe he is innocent, so I have to take him somewhere."

"No, Dumbledore, you can't do this." Old Crouch looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, "He is already a criminal."

"A criminal who was imprisoned at will by you without undergoing normal trial procedures." Dumbledore stared into Old Crouch's eyes, making him feel a strong sense of oppression.

Old Crouch was defeated. He took a step back. He lowered his head and said uncomfortably: "Okay, Professor. I agree with you to take him away temporarily, but you must give the Ministry of Magic a reasonable explanation later." explain."

"Of course." Fox appeared in the cell and took Dumbledore and Sirius away together.

"Damn it," Old Crouch cursed in a low voice, and then left Azkaban with the people accompanying him.

Dumbledore and Sirius came to a dilapidated street. Of course Sirius recognized the place and Pettigrew used a magic spell to cause a huge explosion here.

"A powerful spell." Dumbledore observed the traces of the explosion, "Can you give me your wand?"

Sirius shook his head, "Professor, have you forgotten that my wand has been confiscated?"

"Oh, yes." Dumbledore frowned and looked at the scene in the street, "But it doesn't matter if you don't have it. I know that this kind of power is not something you can release at will."

"Professor, thank you for your trust." Sirius looked at Dumbledore, "But I bear undeniable responsibility for the deaths of James and Lily."

"Of course, your hubris caused their deaths, but there was some good in it, too."

"Harry" Sirius looked at Dumbledore, "Is he okay at Hagrid's?"

"I think it's not bad. We all trust him, don't we?" Dumbledore looked at the time, "I think you can also go and meet Harry."

Sirius took a step towards Dumbledore, but then took two steps back, "No, I think it's better to forget it, Professor."

His expression was a little painful, "After all, I was the one who killed his parents. Professor Dumbledore, what will happen to Harry next?"

"Lily seems to have cast an ancient magic, love, on him," Dumbledore said, "and this magic must work when Harry is around his blood relatives."

"The Dursleys" Sirius remembered Lily's sister, and her husband, a stupid, stubborn and extremely old-fashioned Muggle named Vernon De Siza.

"Professor, why don't we think of something else, it's a terrible thing to have Harry there."

"Sirius." Dumbledore's tone became serious, "For the spell of love to work, you must do that. I have to warn you, don't let your arrogance and stupidity kill Harry again. "

Sirius looked at Dumbledore, his expression looking downcast, "I understand, Professor."

"Before he entered Hogwarts, he had to live with his aunt. After entering school, his holidays would also need to stay there for a long time until Harry came of age. I think I have some tasks that require you to go Do it." Dumbledore still felt uneasy and letting Sirius stay near the Dursleys would definitely lead to quite troublesome things according to his temper.

"What's the matter, Professor?"

"Get Peter."

Sirius' eyes were full of surprise, which was soon replaced by anger, "If he's not dead, then this is what I have to do."
