After Slim walked away, Minister Baudino nodded to Anduin, then took out her wand and tapped herself lightly, her body disappearing into the air. This was something Baudino had discussed with Anduin, only letting Sirius see him alone.
Anduin nodded slightly in response and calmly walked towards the cell where Sirius was being held.
When he arrived in front of Sirius's room, he finally saw his old friend again after many years.
The cell in front of him looked quite spacious, but the floor and walls were still covered in dirt. A figure with messy, tangled hair and covered in filth was huddled in a corner where the light couldn't reach.
In the faint light, Anduin saw Sirius staring blankly at the ground. In this bitterly cold winter, he was wearing only a single layer of clothing, his figure thin and hunched, looking nothing like a young man not yet thirty, but rather like an old man in his sixties or seventies.
"Sirius!" Anduin felt a pang of heartache looking at the haggard Black, but he still called out to him softly.
At this moment, Sirius in the room shuddered, as if he had just realized that someone had appeared in front of his cell.
Sirius raised his weathered face, his vacant eyes now seeing the figure outside the iron栅栏, but perhaps because of the many years, he couldn't recognize Anduin for a moment, and just stared at him blankly.
"Sirius! It's me, Anduin, Anduin Wilson, do you remember me?" Anduin squatted down to bring his line of sight level with the other man, and called out softly again.
"An, Anduin?" Sirius, with the help of the light, finally saw the other man's face, and after learning that the person in front of him introduced himself as Anduin, he was still somewhat unsure. After examining him carefully for a moment, he recognized who the young man in front of him was.
Seeing a change in Sirius's eyes, Anduin knew that the other man had recognized him. "Sirius, I've come to see you. Do you want to come closer? I have something to say to you."
However, contrary to what Anduin had imagined, Sirius's expression immediately became ferocious after recognizing the figure in front of him. At the same time, he began to tremble all over, immediately turned around, pressed his head against the corner of the wall, covered his head with his hands, and buried his face in his arms and chest, screaming loudly.
"Go away, go away! I don't want to see you! This isn't a place for you!" Sirius shouted in a hoarse voice, burying his head even deeper, as if the person in front of him wasn't a former friend, but a demon.
Seeing Sirius's abnormality, Anduin couldn't help but frown. The man in front of him no longer had the dashing and unrestrained demeanor he remembered, but looked exactly like a beggar on the street, a pathetic wretch.
"Sirius, calm down, I'm here to help you!" Anduin looked at the distraught Black, his tone inevitably raised slightly.
"Go away! I don't want to see you, I'm the one who killed Potter and Lily, I'm the one who killed them, it's me..." Sirius was extremely agitated at this time, and his voice revealed a sense of pain and madness, completely ignoring what Anduin was saying.
Seeing this, Anduin said a few more words of comfort, but Black ignored him, just repeating those words to himself.
Seeing that the other man was unable to communicate at all, and refused to communicate, Anduin was immediately helpless, but he could still hear some strangeness in Sirius's words. The pain he showed didn't seem like a disguise, but if Black really betrayed the Potter couple willingly, then why did he reveal such a painful posture? You must know that in this hellish place, there is no need to act at all.
Anduin helplessly turned his head to look at the void next to him, where Minister Baudino was hiding.
At this time, Minister Baudino could only helplessly shrug at Anduin. She had warned Anduin long ago that coming to see Sirius would have such consequences.
However, Anduin didn't want to give up. After so many years of investigation and effort, he finally had the opportunity to see Sirius again. He had to find out what happened back then from Sirius today.
However, in Sirius's current state of emotional breakdown, language alone may not be able to restore his sanity.
Anduin spread out his hand, and a bottle of potion suddenly appeared in his palm. Then he looked in the direction of Minister Baudino and mouthed the words 'tranquilizer'.
Seeing this, Minister Baudino knew Anduin's plan and nodded silently. She was actually very concerned about what happened back then. It wasn't that she also believed that Sirius was innocent, but she was curious about how the Potter family's residence was revealed back then.
After Anduin received Baudino's approval, he gently pried open the bottle cap, and then used 'Control-type' magic to control the potion to spread out and gradually pour towards Sirius's location.
At this time, under the influence of the tranquilizer, Sirius's emotions finally stabilized, and he no longer babbled to himself aimlessly, but he was still unwilling to turn his head, just curled up and buried his head in his arms.
Seeing that Black's condition had improved, Anduin felt certain in his heart, but he knew that the key was how to get the other man to open up and communicate with him normally next.
Looking at the other man's state, Anduin knew that he couldn't mention anything related to Potter and Lily first. It was estimated that even Peter Pettigrew and Lupin couldn't be mentioned. He had to start by guiding him from the memory that was marginal but also relatively impressive.
"Sirius, do you remember this?"
Anduin then raised his hand again, and a metal plate suddenly appeared in front of him, on which was placed a large piece of fragrant lamb chop, covered with thick pistachio crumbs on the surface, and drizzled with thick black pepper sauce. Just looking at it made people's appetite greatly increase.
This was the dish he made for Sirius for the first time at Sirius's house during his first year of Christmas, and since then, this pistachio lamb chop has become Sirius's favorite food.
Of course, this may be because he had little experience, because later, every time Anduin re-cooked something, it would immediately become Black's favorite, but Sirius was most impressed with this one. Anduin knew that he was coming to visit today, and thinking that it might be useful, he specially made a copy.
Minister Baudino, who was watching from the side, was stunned when she suddenly saw Anduin bring out a dish. She didn't react for a moment what the other man was going to do, and could only watch curiously. However, the smell of this lamb chop was too fragrant. The smell made her unable to resist moving her index finger.
