Dumbledore is busy right now.

After Voldemort fell, the Aurors captured a large number of Death Eaters.Not everyone was thrown into Azkaban without a trial like Sirius. Most of them still had the chance to be interrogated by a large group of people. If they confessed some former good friends and colleagues, they could still win Released with reduced sentence.Of course, there are also people who just entered Azkaban and then came out yelling to report important news.

In short, as the most prestigious wizard of this century, Dumbledore has heard many court hearings, and he must continue to listen.

Anaska wandered around the Ministry of Magic like a headless chicken, and found Dumbledore in many places. After she said that she wanted to talk to Dumbledore, a staff member found her impatiently. small room.

Dumbledore quickly opened the door and entered.

Anaska spoke anxiously before he sat down, "Professor! Sirius...Sirius, you know, he couldn't have betrayed James, that night...Sirius was innocent!"

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Dumbledore interrupted the incoherent Anaska, "I think you don't mind having a glass of water first?"

Dumbledore took out a cup out of nowhere, filled it with water with his wand, and handed it to Anaska.

Anaska was so focused on telling the truth now that she was not interested in water at all. She wanted to refuse, but Dumbledore didn't give her this chance.

"You need to calm down," said Dumbledore, "so that I can hear you in detail. I was indeed surprised that Sirius Black was on the list of Death Eaters. If he was, I'd say he's totally Fooled me, you know—I personally don't think it's easy."

Anaska had no choice but to take a sip from her water glass.

"Okay, now you can tell me what happened last night." Dumbledore made a "please" gesture.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, Anaska really felt that her thinking was much clearer.

"Last night... after Lily and James had an accident..." Anaska couldn't help but choked up, "I should have been the first one to rush there, and then I met Sirius, who..."

"Okay, would you mind telling me what his face looked like then?" Dumbledore interjected, his blue eyes peering at Anaska through his spectacles.

"Pale, rather surprised and angry," Anaska replied, impressed by how Sirius seemed to be tearing Peter Pettigrew apart.

"Thank you, please continue."

Anaska paused and continued: "Sirius is innocent! As soon as he heard that Lily and James had passed away, he was in a hurry to catch the traitor! I chased him and asked him who the traitor was. Thing... Sorry, Professor, Lily once told me about her utter loyalty... So, I asked him who the secret keeper was, and he told me it was Peter Pettigrew. Peter Pettigrew is the traitor!"

Dumbledore said: "But Peter Pettigrew is dead, and there are his fingers at the scene. And, besides him, a lot of Muggles died unexpectedly. Sirius was unscathed, he was the Auror who voluntarily followed the hunt Let's go, how do you explain this?"

"I, I don't know..." Anaska didn't think so much, her mind was in a mess, "But, I think... those Muggles can't be him..."

Dumbledore didn't speak for a while.

After a moment of silence, he said: "You know, Anaska, I can't possibly know Sirius Black better than you, and I'm not very willing to believe that he will rebel. But, as far as I know, Peter is also the Potter and his wife A trusted friend, I have always believed that he has a loyal and honest character. Of course, I also trust you."

Anaska's hands clenched the wizard's robe unconsciously.

"So, out of prudence, I want to ask you again." Dumbledore stared at Anaska, "Think about it again, everything you just told me is completely true and not fabricated, and are you sure little Is Sirius innocent?"

Anaska bit her lip hard and replied, "I'm sure."

"Okay, thank you for your answer, I believe you." Dumbledore's shoulders relaxed, "Please forgive me for asking repeatedly, you know, I was just cheated by one of you once, and this Mistakes have cost us two very good friends."

Anaska nodded, thinking of Lily, her tears were about to start rolling again.

Dumbledore continued: "I'm afraid Sirius has been sent to Azkaban by now... I think we should talk to the Minister of Magic about this right away. Luckily we happened to be at her work unit, and she Just above us. Come on, follow me."

Anaska followed Dumbledore from the eighth basement to the first basement, and knocked on the door of the minister's office.

Millicent Barnold only became the Minister of Magic last year. During the Voldemort era, it was very difficult to maintain the normal operation of the Ministry of Magic where many Death Eaters were mixed in. This shows that she is quite strong. woman.

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore, I hope you understand that I am very busy, please explain your purpose of coming as soon as possible." Minister Barnold wrote something on the parchment without looking up, and there were two documents in her hand , there are two feather pens are automatically writing on it.

Dumbledore smiled at her, but apparently Barnold couldn't see it.

"You just captured Sirius Black this morning and thought he was a Death Eater, but this Miss Campbell - who happened to meet him yesterday - just told me something else, I think, for Guaranteed the freedom of every innocent wizard, you should listen."

Barnold said nothing, still desperately processing the documents.

Dumbledore didn't wait for her response, but said what Anaska said just now in a clearer form.As soon as he finished speaking, Barnold suddenly stopped writing, and the other two uncontrolled quills fell on the table at the same time.

"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, do you mean we - the Ministry of Magic - have caught the wrong man?" said Barnold, his eyes widening.

Anaska was almost frightened by her, this is really a very dignified woman.

Dumbledore maintained a gracious smile and said, "No, that's not what I mean. I just think that we'd better bring back the convicted Mr. Black and give him a chance to declare himself."

"I don't think it's necessary at all." Barnold kept clasping his knuckles rhythmically on the table. "Blake didn't struggle at all when he pleaded guilty. He was taken away by us willingly. He didn't deny that he killed Pettigrew. Peter and the Muggles, obviously, he's just..."

"But he didn't admit these crimes." Dumbledore retorted calmly. "It's hard to figure out the human heart. If we don't call him back, how can we know what happened?"

Barnold's brows frowned even tighter, and Anaska could even see the bulging veins on her forehead.

"Dumbledore, with all due respect, based on the testimony of you and this little girl—" Barnold pointed at Anaska, "It's totally untenable! You can't produce any evidence. "

"Millison, you also can't produce any tangible evidence."

The Minister of Magic stood up from her chair with such a force that she almost turned over a large number of papers on the desk.

"Okay! I'll tell you straight! I think you've seen the papers this morning! We've already published the list of Death Eaters! The Ministry has caught many, or probably all Death Eaters! Black There's even a dedicated page! What are we doing this for? To reassure the wizards! Tell them it's all right! Don't you want me to post to them right now and say 'sorry, we made a big mistake, we didn't care Put the hero who killed the Death Eaters in Azkaban'!"

Barnold's chest heaved up and down after he finished speaking such a long paragraph.

"Stop kidding, Dumbledore. There's no way we're going to let Black out. Besides, killing those thirteen Muggles is enough for him to go to Azkaban." Barnold said, "unless you can use Something proves that Sirius Black wasn't a Death Eater, and that he didn't kill the thirteen Muggles."

Dumbledore did not speak.

Anaska was already in a hurry, she stood up and said with all her strength: "Sirius, he can never—"

"Shut up! You're not supposed to talk here!" Barnold yelled at Anaska.

Barnold took a long breath and continued: "Peter Pettigrew is dead. I think no one can know the truth except them. The ending is the best now. The Ministry of Magic has captured the vicious Death Eaters. Everyone can go on living happily.”

Barnold sat back.

"Please leave immediately, Dumbledore, sorry, I have many more important tasks."

Anaska wanted to say something more, but Dumbledore stopped her and shook his head.Anaska had to follow Dumbledore out of the office of the Minister of Magic.

Dumbledore said to her: "I'm afraid it won't work today, Anaska... Millicent is right, we have no proof. At the Ministry we have to respect some rigid procedures—"

"But..." Anaska turned around anxiously.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way, but I have to think about it, and you can think about it together." Dumbledore patted her on the shoulder, "I guess, if Peter Pettigrew is a Death Eater, then, He wouldn't die so easily and willingly. To be honest, I don't really believe that Millicent can catch all the Death Eaters... If you can catch Peter Pettigrew, things will be easier..."

Anaska had bitten her lip.How could Peter Pettigrew survive such a huge explosion... In school, he was so bad in every subject...

Dumbledore suddenly put his hand on his own chest, and said softly: "Anaska, I think there is a connection between you and Sirius, otherwise you wouldn't be the one who came to vindicate him .When you can’t help it, sometimes here, rather than here—”

He pointed to his head.

"—better to use."
