HP solves the mystery

Two days later, Petunia came to Severus's residence to pick up little Harry.

"Sorry, I originally came yesterday." Petunia took a sip of the tea made by Severus and relaxed her tense body. Then she complained that the pastries were too sweet and ate all the flavors she liked. .

She vomited her bitterness to Severus and released the recent pressure before she contacted Dumbledore to go to Godric's Hollow to organize the funeral.

Of course, all the money needed for the funeral was kindly provided by Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic.

"So?" Severus frowned, looking at little Harry who was lying on Petunia's lap, playing with a plane toy, and said, "You are finally going to take this child back?"

Penny smiled awkwardly and then nodded.

"He has to go to the funeral, it's his parents." She knew that little Harry was only over a year old and didn't understand what death was yet, but he had to be there.

Severus didn't know what he thought of when he heard this. He got up and went into the study and took out a pamphlet.

"This is the distribution of family power in the magical world, and there are also some gossips I collected." He handed the booklet to Penny, and when he saw the confused look in his eyes, he couldn't help but explain, "The Potter family is an old aristocracy, and they made their fortune very early. …Relatively speaking…his family is very wealthy…”

It is better to take the opportunity to understand the forces in the magical world than to be deceived and calculated by others, and money can solve many things in the world.

Petunia thought of her sister who graduated from Hogwarts and had never worked in the Muggle world, and her brother-in-law who was not involved in childbirth, and guessed that their money would not be deposited in a Muggle bank.

"All the money is stored in Gringotts? But little Harry is only one year old, how can he get the money?" Petunia is not greedy for her nephew's money, but she is afraid that when Harry becomes an adult, all the Gringotts money will suddenly disappear. , then she will be unable to argue.

Severus shrugged helplessly. He didn't know how to deal with it, not to mention that he had no inheritance to inherit.

Petunia touched little Harry's soft hair and thought about it. She didn't have a job yet, and she could barely support herself with part-time money; and she agreed to her boyfriend's proposal last month, and now she has a nephew, and she didn't know that her boyfriend was a What an attitude; parents help, but they also have jobs.

She frowned in confusion and rubbed little Harry's head carelessly.

Little Harry felt uncomfortable being rubbed. He jumped off the sofa with a pout, and went to the bedroom to play with the airplane toy.

Although he had been wondering in the past few days why he was in a strange room, his parents who loved him were not there, and why there was no flying broom or flying carpet, he did not make a fuss. He always remembered what the white-bearded grandpa said in his heart, that he loved him. 's family is around.

Petunia continued to talk to Severus. Since there were too many loopholes in the Ministry of Magic's laws, there were more loopholes for them to exploit.

Little Harry, who is over one year old, is very bored. The TV in the living room is occupied by adults. The only friends he can play with are cats and snakes. But the cats are weaker than him, so he can only play with snakes.

The basilisk, which was feeding the cat cub, felt a chill on its back. It looked at the little boy who was approaching eagerly. With a flick of its tail, a bag of dried fish fell into Harry's arms.

Because the soul is too huge, Voldemort, who can only use a small part of his consciousness, is almost depressed to death. The cat's body is so weak, and now he can only watch the snacks being snatched away.

Moreover, he still wanted to adopt this green-eyed little boy, but as a result, he was turned into such a culprit child by the unknown spell. He was full of anxiety and boredom.

After turning into a cat, Voldemort's little head couldn't think about too complicated things, but he had learned to protect food, and he would squeal when he pulled the bottle away with his paws.

"Mao Mao, be good, suck it up, I'll take one." Little Harry stretched out a plump finger and said in a sweet voice, but his movements were not slow, he took out the smoked dried fish and started eating it.

Severus prepared a lot of smoked and dried fish. In addition to feeding the three little ones, he would also eat it himself. The portions were divided into portions so that they would be gone after every day.

Little Harry showed off his tiny teeth and ate up three small dried fishes in one bite, and then looked at the basilisk eagerly. He already knew who had the most snacks in the room.

The basilisk glanced at the scolding kitten that was sleeping while sucking a bottle, and then at the little boy with green eyes blinking in front of him. For the first time, he felt that it was really difficult to take care of a child.

When Petunia and Severus discussed the countermeasures and planned to carry Harry home, she noticed that his belly was round.

Severus spent the next few days very leisurely. There were no crying children at home, and there was a basilisk watching the kitten. After returning home, he petted the cat and watched TV. He felt that he had begun to live a retirement life.

After several days of hard work, Voldemort, who possessed the cat, finally took control of the cat's body. He dealt with Severus' harassment every day while thinking of ways to restore his body.

But he didn't know whether it was because his soul had been separated from his body for too long, or because the damage was too serious. He felt the bone-gnawing pain again, and his little body curled up into a ball.

The basilisk was running around anxiously. It happened that today Severus went to the coffee shop to taste new products. The basilisk was watching new cartoons at home and taking care of the cat cubs. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

[Tom, don’t scare me, hiss, what’s wrong with you? 】The basilisk asked anxiously, but it forgot that it and the cat cub were of different species, and it was impossible for them to speak the same language.

Voldemort had endured the pain of his soul being torn apart, and now he was suffering from a headache due to the noise. In his impatience, he finally unlocked a second language other than cat meowing.

[Don't argue, my head hurts. 】The cat's mouth made a hissing sound that belonged to a snake, but the milky sound and milky breath were still not intimidating.

The basilisk was stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic.

[Wow, Tom, you are so smart! He actually learned to talk to me! 】The basilisk said happily.

He just thought it was because the kitten had been with him for a long time, so he had learned snake language, and he was still amazed by the kitten's talent.

Voldemort gradually adapted to the pain, gritted his teeth and persisted, but laughed angrily at the Basilisk's words.

[Herbo, my body feels uncomfortable and my head hurts.] Voldemort pretended to be weak. After a few days of observation, he found that the snake in front of him was very soft-hearted. [Is there any medicine you can give me? 】

The basilisk thought for a while, grew bigger, and carried the cat cub on its head to the room where the potion was placed.

The kitten's hair exploded and its little claws opened into flowers. It could only carefully lie on the snake's head and stay still to avoid being thrown down.

[Tom, stay here while I find medicine for you. ] The basilisk placed the cat cub on the table where the potion was brewed, blinked its inorganic yellow vertical pupils, and searched for it on the shelf, [blood supplement, vitality supplement, hair growth agent...]

Fu Maomao twitched his ears to listen to the basilisk's chanting, [Hiss, is there any pain relief medicine? I am almost dying of pain...]

The basilisk shook its tail upon hearing this, remembering the stabilizer and demulcent sent a few days ago, and quickly took two bottles from the shelf.

At worst, the money will be deducted from his own treasury, the Basilisk thought, and opened the cork of the bottle and poured it into Fu Maomao.

Fu Maomao struggled in panic, and the crucible and instruments on the table were pushed off the table. But after discovering the familiar taste, he slowly drank it. He secretly made a note of the shelf where the medicine was placed, and planned to drink it next time if he felt uncomfortable. Run in and drink by yourself.

The basilisk was dumbfounded when it saw the crucible that had been smashed into several pieces and the instrument that was broken into several sections. It looked at Fu Maomao who was happily drinking the medicine, his eyes full of resentment.

No one would blame the cute cat, but they would blame the aggrieved snake.

In Hogwarts school, the atmosphere among teachers is somewhat condensed.

The daring students said that they were Death Eaters in front of their teachers. Among them, Slytherin students and professors were isolated, and some even asked Dumbledore to find Aurors to arrest them in the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore didn't need to ask for this matter. Minister of Magic Macon had already sent people to monitor them. They didn't dare to arrest Voldemort in a big way until it was confirmed that Voldemort was missing.

What's ridiculous is that they don't dare to arrest known high-level people. They can only arrest some middle- and low-level people to scare the monkeys.

As wizards who graduated from Slytherin and had a good relationship with Regulus, Barty Jr. and Andre were invited into the Ministry of Magic by Aurors.

And Severus, who was supposed to taste the new desserts in a London coffee shop, was 'invited' to the Ministry of Magic by the Auror not long ago. The reason was to use potions to 'support the enemy'. You must know that the Ministry of Magic purchases blood replenishers in a month. There are not as many doses as he can brew in a month.

How could Severus answer? Is it illegal to make money? He thought he could leave after asking the questions, but he didn't expect to be taken to the interrogation room on the other side and asked about the Death Eaters.

Only now did he realize that he was considered a potential Death Eater, but he had not participated in it, so he sat there feeling extremely bachelor.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the young interrogating wizard planned to send the person out. After all, there was a shortage of manpower during this period, and it was already very troublesome for him to interrogate this person alone.

Severus was given a day trip to the Ministry of Magic and a free cup of hot cocoa and donuts.

But when he was about to walk out of the Ministry of Magic, several wizards passed by him, and the topic of discussion made him very confused.

'What Black removed, the Death Eater list, 13 Muggles...finger...thrown into Azkaban...'

Severus guessed something from their words. The only thing he didn't understand was that the Times had not published any major accidents recently, so why would Sirius still be like this?

He left with a heavy heart, unaware of the mess that had been made at home.

In the tenth underground courtroom, the Wizengamot jury kept whispering. They did not stop until the four wizards were escorted out of the dungeon.

There were four locked chairs in the center of the dungeon. Andre and Barty were among them. Not far from them was Sirius who was bound into a mummy. His clothes were shabby and his hair was disheveled. He no longer looked like his usual self. Like a noble man.

Andre looked around blankly, and was shocked when he saw Sirius. Little Barty was much calmer, and he used his eyes to comfort his crying mother who was standing not far away.

"Are you going to judge me? My great father?" Little Barty broke away from the chain on his wrist and looked up at his superior father with mocking eyes. "I'm afraid I will disappoint you, Mr. Crouch."

Little Barty lifted the sleeve of his left hand to his shoulder. There was nothing there, as smooth as the moon.

Old Crouch's serious expression softened for a moment, but he was dissatisfied with his son's lazy attitude and scolded him sternly, "Show your respect and etiquette, little Barty!"

Little Barty seemed unaware of his father's words. He looked around at the people around him, and finally settled on his mother, who was covering her mouth with a handkerchief and crying, her eyes softening.

The trial was still continuing, and the jury took out a roll of parchment and began to read over it. It was all about the cases committed by Death Eaters in the past few years.

In the reading, the burning of the hotel and the robbery of gold were also included.

After hearing this, Old Crouch raised his voice and said with a serious face, "In the case being heard in this court...the prosecutor's testimony..."

Barty Jr. and Andre denied participating in Death Eater activities. They were not from there. When the terrorist attacks occurred, they were either studying in school or teaching in school after graduation. They had no time to commit crimes. , if you don’t believe them, there are also the entire Hogwarts students as witnesses.

As the presiding judge, Crouch Sr. knew in his heart that his wife had made a lot of money through her son's relationship. Now that his son was free of the suspicion of being a Death Eater, he had nothing to blame.

The jury was helpless and ultimately acquitted the two men.

When Barty Jr. and others walked out of the door, Mrs. Crouch, whose eyes were red with tears, checked that her son was not injured, hugged her son, and yelled at her husband Crouch Sr.

Old Crouch heard his wife's abuse through the door that was not yet closed, and his face turned blue and white.

Litsky, who sat down and put his hands down, pushed up his glasses and turned his head to the other side, pretending not to see his embarrassment.

The trial ended in an anticlimactic manner. Barty Jr. and others were cleared of suspicion, but Sirius could not escape.

Because many people saw him killing 13 Muggles and Peter, and he was crazy and didn't defend himself. He kept saying, 'Good death, I should have killed you earlier, I'm sorry James...', so The jury quickly returned a verdict and he was taken away by the Dementors.

He will be locked up in Azkaban for the rest of his life, under the care of dementors, and will repent for the dead every day.

Dumbledore wanted to save this student, but since Grindelwald discovered that he had an invisibility cloak, his frequent interactions with the former Demon King made the Ministry of Magic very afraid. He was not even allowed to participate in the Wizengamot jury. Its name is fairness and justice.

After dealing with the fringe Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic began to review internal personnel.

Everyone in the Ministry of Magic was in danger, especially people like Ludo Bagman who passed information to the Death Eaters. If he was caught, he would have to stay in Azkaban for at least half a year.

When Walburga, who was overwhelmed by busy affairs, heard the news, his face was full of regret and self-blame.

When Orion walked into the study with his cute little granddaughter in his arms, what he saw was his wife's dazed look.

"Anguilla, look, your grandmother won't eat with you anymore." He touched his wife's hand with his little granddaughter's tender hand, his eyes full of worry, "Wal, do you want me to treat you to a meal?" Is the doctor coming?"

Walburga shook her head, took her little granddaughter and kissed her. Her most important family was by her side, and she had done enough for that traitor.

In the garden, Regulus and Lucius finished talking through the double-sided mirror, and then received the message from the golden eagle. For a moment, they stared blankly at the tree planted with his brother in the garden.

When he was a child, he idolized his brother and chased after him all day long. However, everything changed after Sirius went to Hogwarts.

Cynthia pursed her lips and wrapped her hands around Regulus's cold hands in worry. Even though she didn't love her husband, she had long regarded them as family after years of getting along with him.
