Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Gellert was like this back then...

Bad taste.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment and asked:

"This news... is really surprising. However, there should be a second half, right? You didn't 'catch' him back, did you, Anriel?"

Dumbledore is indeed the smartest man of this era.

He put emphasis on the word "catch".

If Anriel hadn't "caught" the fugitive Sirius...

That means he walked into the trap himself and found Anriel.

No, that's not quite right, but he must have come back on his own...

Sirius returned to Hogwarts on his own initiative.

And Anriel knew this.

Sirius was back at school, so he must have other things to do.

It's about Harry Potter.

Dumbledore's logic is so clear that it is beyond words. This is the wisdom of the most powerful white wizard in history.

After just a few brief conversations, he was able to figure out the whole story.

Although he could not explain the details more accurately due to information asymmetry, the general direction was almost right.

Anriel's answer further confirmed Dumbledore's guess:

"Yes, sir...

He didn't resist, didn't foolishly try to kill me, and didn't try to escape when I pretended to relax my grip on him."

Anriel laughed sinisterly twice, and Sirius, who was standing slightly behind him, shuddered all over.

"So I suspect that this matter, or this case... and Blake himself, contain many secrets..."

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully.

Sirius broke out in a cold sweat as he heard this.

The more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the more his heart palpitated.

It turns out... he had been exposed a long time ago!

From the first action and the first words this boy said after seeing me, he was testing me?!

Is he really capable of killing an Azkaban fugitive on the spot?

And Dumbledore actually agreed...

Sirius suddenly felt a mixture of laughter and annoyance. He felt that out of the three people in the room, except himself, the other two were all very cunning.

Just have fun.

Who can beat you, my goodness?

Thousands of words come together into one sentence——

Hogwarts now has become something I can’t understand.

Anriel naturally had no way of knowing Sirius' inner thoughts. If he knew, he would say:

"You have a lot of inner drama. Let's not criticize each other. You are just lacking in brains, not thinking."

But Anriel didn't say that, because he hadn't used Legilimency on Sirius yet.

Anriel simply made the first move since he entered the room that allowed him to face Sirius.

Turn around.

"Sirius, please start your performance and tell your story."

(The dead rotten jokes started to attack me)

......

The human heart is extremely complex.

Sometimes you have to admit that Ron is right.

How can a person contain so many emotions? He will explode...

It's a pity that, except for Sirius, the other two people in this room are both skilled in controlling emotions.

This is the result of the combined effect of age, psychological age and talent, and it cannot be learned.

Sirius's tragic story isn't a very long one.

When he finished by saying in a tone of extreme hatred, "I will skin him alive!", Anriel and Dumbledore looked at each other.

There is no empathy at all.

If the result wasn't right in front of me, this might just be a good idea that I came up with on the spur of the moment.

But at the moment, this idea seems a bit irrational.

Taking the psychological factors of the parties involved into consideration, Sirius decisively deleted the plot that "Dumbledore once asked to be the Potter family's secret keeper" when narrating.

Maybe he never cared about it at all, or maybe... he felt guilty.

It may be useless, as the remaining two people present knew about it.

Everything has two sides.

This so-called tragedy is nothing more than three emotional people making what they think is the most rational choice in their hearts.

......

James Potter gave up on using Dumbledore as the Secret-Keeper and chose to trust his brother Sirius Black.

This was the choice he made from his own "rational" perspective.

Judging from what happened later, his choice was not unreasonable. Sirius was indeed someone James could trust.

As a victim, although you cannot say that his choice was definitely not wrong, his mistake must have been the smallest.

......

Sirius Black did not allow himself to be the Potter family's secret keeper, but instead appointed Peter Pettigrew. After "calm and objective" thinking, he concluded that Voldemort would be able to confirm that he, Sirius Black, was the Potter family's secret keeper.

He couldn't completely guarantee that Voldemort couldn't pry his mouth open.

This is due to Voldemort's deep-rooted image and the panic he created in the wizarding community.

Even someone like Sirius had little confidence that he could keep a secret.

So he took a different approach.

What he imagined was that Voldemort would never imagine that Peter Pettigrew was the Potter family's secret keeper, so that even if "Sirius Black" was really caught by Voldemort, nothing would go wrong.

As it turns out... this "path" is outrageous.

......

Peter Pettigrew, Wormtail, is the weakest of the four Marauders, clinging to power, cowardly... and "a terrible wizard".

But objectively speaking, this complex person is not actually that bad - he is much better than countless nameless and ordinary people.

Even if he accepted help from the other three people, after all, he had mastered the Animagus, which "only rare wizards can cultivate." Although he could not be called a genius, he was definitely not bad.

Therefore, his little bit of "talent" which was more outstanding than that of ordinary people and not as good as some but better than some, made him lose the right to choose to go with the crowd which he had as an unknown person.

He must stand on the right side, even if he is a fence-sitter, he must nominally choose a team.

He chose the one that looked more powerful.

Since 1980, Peter Pettigrew has been collecting information for Voldemort, and finally, when he was chosen to be the Potter family's Secret Keeper, he betrayed them without hesitation.

He is a person who is easily influenced by the people around him, and he always follows the strong - Lupin, Sirius and Potter are all top students in the grade.

This is "Wormtail".

This is Wormtail.

Similarly, he would rather assist the powerful evil than follow the weak light.

The human heart is unpredictable and human nature is extremely complex.

Just because Sirius was willing to sacrifice his life for the Potters didn't mean others would be willing to do so.

From Wormtail's own rational point of view, there was nothing wrong with his choice.

Is there something wrong with him? It seems not.

Because Wormtail has been like this since the beginning.

It is said that one cannot comment without seeing the whole picture, but when we truly stand in the perspective of God and know what everyone is thinking, it seems that the difficulty of evaluating this matter will not decrease.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.

Anriel also has his own set of criteria for judgment.
