HP Polar Night

"Tut duk duk..." Ms. Burns, the presiding judge, knocked the gavel in her hand three times, cleared her throat, and read: "This court pronounces that the crime committed by Sirius Black is as follows: 13. Illegal Arnie Maggs, sentenced to Azkaban for one year. The sentence has expired and he will no longer be detained. He will register with the Ministry of Magic within three days after the trial. Second, he is suspected of killing [-] people. Due to insufficient evidence, he is temporarily placed out of court. , register with the Auror Department of the Ministry of Magic every three days, and you are not allowed to use magic wands or harmful potions until the charges are cleared, and you are not allowed to leave the UK without the Ministry of Magic's approval. The above judgments were voted by the wizards present, and the blue was passed. Red is rebuttal, wand down is abstention."

Dozens of magic wands were raised in unison in the courtroom, more than half of them were blue.

Seeing this result, Sirius wanted to force a smile on his face, but it was uglier than crying.

It stands to reason that Sirius was arrested and imprisoned not only because he was accused of killing 13 people, but also because he was accused of being a Death Eater.After Voldemort's downfall, I don't know how many Death Eaters were arrested and charged with various crimes.But there is no one in the law that says "the crime of allegiance to Voldemort", so although not everyone believes Sirius' innocence, Agares overturned Sirius' murder. Before there is strong evidence, they can only Can choose to agree.

Of course, among them Dumbledore raised blue, which is also one of the important reasons why more than half of the wizards followed him to vote in favor.

After all, even Dumbledore chose to believe in Sirius Black, so they still chose to believe.

The moment Sirius stepped down from the dock, his feet went limp, and Lupine rushed up and hugged him.This pair of close friends who haven't seen each other for many years looked at each other with excitement and unspeakable complexity in their eyes.

"Sirius." Lupine looked at his haggard friend, and after comparing him with the exuberant boy he remembered, he felt that his mood was like a mess of threads, and he couldn't make sense of it.

Sirius didn't know what to say, he tried to stand up straight. "Remus, we still have a lot of things to do." To catch Peter, to avenge James and Lily, to take care of Harry, and to catch those escaped Death Eaters.There are really many things to do.

Lupine showed a gentle smile, just like when they were still studying at Hogwarts, which made Sirius feel a little comforted.At least Remus was still here, and he wasn't alone.They also had Harry, who had seen Harry and had heard a great deal about him in the castle.He knew Harry was a humble, kind, good boy, and he missed him so much.In the endless cold and darkness of Azkaban, Sirius would occasionally wake up, and he would think of the days when he lived in Hogwarts, and he would also think of Harry.

At this moment, a figure broke into Sirius' mind.It was Agareth Black, with the same curly black hair and gray eyes as every Black, delicate and handsome features, and an inherent pride in his bones.

He looks so much like him.

From the first time he saw him, he knew that he was so similar to him.

But they have completely different personalities. Agares is more like Sirius' father and grandfather. They are both so calm and will use all available resources to achieve their goals.

If Orion and Walburga were still there, Sirius thought, they would love this grandson very, very much, and devote all of Black's glory and future to him alone, valuing him even more than his obedient younger brother.

After all, this kid is worth it.

Lupine naturally saw Sirius' eyes, and he thoughtfully moved half a step away to make room for Agares behind him.

Agares has recovered from the anger just now, and there is nothing wrong with the expression on his face.However, he has never dealt with this kind of difficult "father and son" problem, smiled and said: "Professor Lupine, if you don't mind, I want you to accompany Sirius to deal with the rest of the problem, register the anima Gus, find a place to take a good rest and have a meal or something. I still have a few classes today, so I don’t want to be absent for too long, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask Mr. Dumbledore to take me back to Hogwarts.”

Dumbledore, who was called by name, stood up with a smile: "Okay, no problem."

As for Snape, who was by his side originally, he left aggressively when Sirius was sentenced.

At this moment, Sirius also felt a burst of embarrassment. He acquiesced to Agares' arrangement without saying anything.

So things settled down.

The moment they left the Wizengamot Court and stepped out, the reporters who had been waiting outside rushed forward.All kinds of flashing lights were intertwined, and people kept rushing up to ask, "The court declared Sirius Black to be innocent. What do you think, Mr. Dumbledore?" "Is Black's exoneration a sign from you?" My confidant, so is this rumor false?" "Mr. Black, how did you escape from Azkaban? Did you have the help of the Ministry of Magic staff?" "Mr. Dumbledore!" "Mr. Black! "...

At that moment, various words flashed in Agares' mind, but he subconsciously glanced at Dumbledore, which happened to meet the other's gaze.

Dumbledore winked at him with a smile on his face.

Agares' expression froze for a moment, and then he smirked, scolding the old fox in his heart.

Dumbledore stood up and waved his hand, the scene was silent in vain, only the sound of flashing lights crackling.

He said: "About Mr. Black, you can ask Minister Fudge later. What I want to say is that we will never let any sinner go, and we will never wrong any good person!"

No matter how powerful his words are, sharp journalists cannot miss the fact that they mean nothing.In just a moment, their questions began to be thrown over again, even more acute than before.

The fiery red phoenix descended from the sky, and the flames trailing from its long tail feathers scared the wizards present back a few steps in a hurry. Dumbledore took the opportunity to grab Agares and the others, and the group of four disappeared with a snap.

"Oh!" A reporter was taken aback. "How could they Apparate at the Ministry of Magic?!"

But before they could pay attention to this matter, Minister Fudge, who happened to come out of the court, fell into their eyes.

"Look! Minister Fudge is coming out!" the sharp-eyed reporter called out.

All eyes were attracted to Fudge, and a group of people ran towards him like crazy. "Minister! Can you tell us about the Black case, Minister?"

"Minister Fudge, is Blake acquitted?"

"What opinion does Dumbledore have on this matter? Did he abuse his power and demand the release of Black in the name of the chief wizard?"

"About Black's escape from prison, did the Ministry of Magic interrogate how he escaped from Azkaban? Is there any help from Ministry of Magic officials behind it?"

"Minister! Please tell me..."

"People have the right to know the truth..."

Agares didn't know how Fudge, who was sweating constantly on his forehead, escaped from the layers of reporters.

Dumbledore took them directly from the Ministry of Magic to Diagon Alley. After he put Sirius and Lupine down, he only told them to come to Hogwarts after dealing with the follow-up of the Ministry of Magic, and then took Ah Gareth Apparated back to the castle.

On the way back to the castle on foot from Hogsmeade - Hogwarts is set up with anti-apparition to prevent people from other places running to the castle all the time, of course why didn't he just ask Phoenix to take them back to the headmaster's office , I don’t know—Dumbledore seems to have been waiting for Agares to speak.

But Agares kept quiet and said nothing.

He didn't say anything, Dumbledore didn't ask, the old and the young walked back to the school so quietly.

Finally, standing in the corridor of the school, the students are all gone to class, and there is nothing here except the wind passing through the corridor.Dumbledore stopped and turned to look at Agares.He said: "Harry came to the principal's office to look for me this morning. I don't know what's wrong with him. Agares, can you please go to him and ask him to come to the principal's office after class tomorrow night? The password is butter beer."

Agares returned a smile: "Very happy, sir."

Dumbledore happily went back to his principal's office, regardless of whether Agares would go back to the classroom to attend class.Of course, Agares, who was left there, did not go back to his history of magic class. He went back to the Slytherin dormitory and packed several things related to Peter into the box.

He sat on the sofa, thinking about everything today.

Obviously, Dumbledore must have seen through his intentions before speaking out at the last moment, and he was also the key to Sirius' release.Regardless of the reasons on his side, just from the fact that Dumbledore was willing to help Sirius, Sirius must be Dumbledore's man.But when Sirius was imprisoned, he didn't show up. Could it be that he himself doubted Sirius' loyalty?There is also Peter's betrayal. No one has known about it for more than ten years. In other words, Dumbledore's control over the people under him is actually not that strict.Otherwise, there would be no situation where someone betrayed and it was not known who it was.

By the way, Peter Pedrew.No one knew he was loyal to Voldemort, but he kept doing things for Voldemort.What did Voldemort use to control these people?Cunning people like Lucius Malfoy, people like Peter Pedro who grew up in the "righteous camp", and the dirty races he knew.Voldemort's loyalists are so chaotic and disorderly.

It's no wonder that when Voldemort fell, Death Eaters were either caught or escaped, and it was rare to hear of any capable Death Eaters doing anything.

A plate of loose sand.

There was contempt and disdain in Agares' eyes.

Everything about you, Voldemort, except yourself, doesn't seem to be as strong as you make out to be.

Of course, Agares will never underestimate the other party.You know, in this world of wizards where power is paramount, if a person possesses unparalleled power, he can always make others bow down.Agares is also eager to have such power, because he does not surrender!

The author has something to say:

The current Agares has set two goals for himself, one Dumbledore and one Voldemort.

The latter was a must for him, because he didn't need a Dark Lord who would trample everyone under his feet.

But the former is a gap for him.From the current point of view, Agares has not thought of how to cross this gap. He has not figured out the details of Dumbledore, nor has he found the other party's weaknesses.

Agares in Dumbledore's eyes does not belong to the light camp, nor does he belong to the dark camp.This kid has potential that no one else has.Back then, he saw clearly what kind of person Tom was, a person who didn't know how to love but wanted to hold everything, and what he brought to the world could only be fear and darkness.Agares was similar to Tom in some ways, so Dumbledore couldn't help being wary of him.But he found that there was something in Agares that Tom didn't have, although it was so faint that even Agares himself didn't notice it.He let Agares contact Harry, hoping that Harry could turn this thing from weak to strong.
