HP Hermione's Phoenix

"Peter is dead. You killed him 12 years ago."

Dumbledore's calm and deep voice came off the screen.For a moment, the audience opened their eyes wide at the same time, watching the camera turn, and the leader of the Baidao appeared in the screen——

Many people in the local area network and outside the school took a deep breath at the same time. It turned out that the tabloid in "Witch Weekly" was actually true, and Dumbledore had really become so young...

"--no,,," Black tried to struggle again emotionally - Hermione quickly turned around and pointed the camera at him - he screamed frantically, "he's not dead,,, he killed James and Lily! He—"

"impossible!"

"He lied! Peter has clearly—"

"He's crazy!"

Countless whispers rang out off camera, including in the school auditorium.However, in the long line at Gryffindor College, no one dared to speak, and the entire ground covered with sleeping bags became dead silent.Everyone looked at Harry nervously.

People suddenly saw the camera turn again, this time facing Dumbledore and everyone behind him.Every professor has a surprised expression.

Dumbledore's expression was terribly severe: "He has taken veritaserum, and he will not tell lies."

After speaking, he seemed to realize something, and inadvertently glanced in Hermione's direction.

Hermione suddenly put down her hand. She fixed the terminal in the air with the Levitation Charm, pointed it in the direction of Dumbledore, then went around to the other side, took out a crystal plate again, and pointed it at Black again.

Professor McGonagall looked at her floating the terminal, very puzzled, but at this time the situation was urgent, and she had no time to control her——

The offline audience was in an uproar, Veritaserum? !Dumbledore's words will never be false, could it be that...

At this moment, their eyes blurred, and they suddenly found that the screen was cut into two squares, one side of the screen was aimed at Black, and the other was aimed at Dumbledore's expression.

Blake, who was lying on the ground, laughed in a panic. After being severely hit by several spells, he still had the strength to take out a crumpled newspaper from his arms——

"He's not dead." The felony fugitive smiled bitterly. "He's the secret keeper of the James family. At the last moment, he betrayed James and sent his best friend to his master's house." underfoot..."

The camera is jerked in.Thousands of miles away, Arthur who was holding the terminal suddenly jumped up, his face paled in shock: "This...Molly! Molly wake up..."

Ten seconds later, the Ministry of Magic's emergency assembly order came suddenly. He could already imagine the expressions of his colleagues in the Ministry...

"This is just a photo of the Weasley family receiving a prize from the newspaper and traveling to Egypt." Professor McGonagall picked up the piece of paper, with a hint of shock in his tone: "The Weasley family can never be related to the mysterious person—"

But when Hermione caught a glimpse through the camera, Snape's expression suddenly changed.He seemed to understand something instantly.

"No!!!——" Black screamed desperately, incoherently: "It's not them! It's it! That mouse! The mouse on that student's shoulder! He didn't die, he turned into a mouse and ran away. kill him!!!"

Snape suddenly tore through the photo on the newspaper clipping, his pale fingers almost trembling...

"Wait! Headmaster Dumbledore - what are you doing!...Stop! Please stop!"

The fire suddenly exploded, and Fudge, wearing a bright red uniform, emerged from the fireplace in Dumbledore's office.He didn't even have time to dust off the dust on his body, and with round eyes, he ran over at a fast speed, and started yelling loudly at the camera:

"I mean—now that fugitive Blake has been caught, the Ministry wants to take him away immediately! What are you doing? And that webcast—"

Fudge's big head takes up more than three-quarters of the shot.He kept staring at the audience, as if he wanted to find out the mechanism of the live broadcast, but he looked like he couldn't figure out anything... This kind of appearance was presented to tens of thousands of adult wizards and thousands of wizards in the whole of Britain in an instant. In front of the apprentice.

"—F!"

"Get out!!!!"

"Get out of the way! What is this fat man doing here! Don't block the camera!!"

Almost at the same time, many people began to flip the table in front of the terminal.Many are based on families, and many people hang a terminal to watch the live broadcast, while starting to go into the discussion area to brush up topics...

Originally, the local area network was opened not long ago, and wizards across the country lived more scatteredly, and the discussion area in the local area network was not as popular as the Xiaonei network.However, the popularity index at this time is close to breaking the table-not to mention Xiaonei.

The auditorium was full of shouting and cursing, and everyone turned on their terminals to curse Fudge on campus.

"Thank you, Connelly." Dumbledore looked at him, and the light flashed under the lens: "This is an attack that happened inside my school. I hope I can ask clearly first."

"But he's a fugitive! It's a Ministry business!" said Fudge, irritated and impatient. "He should be handed over to the dementors outside at once—the dementors can't wait—"

"There are still thousands of students in the auditorium. I don't want the dementors to get any closer to the castle! Please understand, Minister." Dumbledore said extremely forcefully.

"..." Fudge stared at Dumbledore.

"At the same time, I believe that I can also ensure that Black will not escape from me, no matter whether he is or not the real and vicious fugitive." The auburn-haired principal said domineeringly and decisively.

Immediately, the offline users began to swipe [Well said! ! !Support] [The principal is so handsome! ! ! 】【Fudge get fucked! ! ! 】……

Fudge looked like he was about to start throwing things, and he wanted to know what Dumbledore had done to get all of this onto the Internet—dammit, the Internet!

Before he came, Hermione had already quietly put a trick on the small crystal plate in the air. At this time, Fudge couldn't imagine that the appearance of her jumping out was broadcast live...

"But--alright!" Fudge took a deep breath, knowing that it was not time to tear up his face with Dumbledore: "The dementors are coming soon, I hope you can finish asking soon! They don't want to wait - and, live streaming this thing on the web..."

"Minister." A cold, sweet girlish voice suddenly rang out from the screen.Someone poked Fudge.

"It's Hermione!"

"Hermione is in the headmaster's office!!!"

"Hermione must have a way! Get rid of that old thing!!"

In the auditorium, everyone shouted, and even Percy didn't stop it.

Tom hid in the crowd, his face was hit by the light scattered from the screen, and his eyes seemed to twinkle like stars.

"What?——" Fudge was stunned, it was a little brown-haired girl who looked like a student leader, and handed herself a terminal for no reason...

He just glanced at it and felt that he was going to be unable to breathe, as if his blood pressure was soaring, a thrombus burst, and his heart was beating hundreds of times per minute. At that moment, all kinds of middle-aged diseases suddenly appeared at this moment. If a wizard could have a stroke, he would already be in a coma...

The audience outside the venue widened their eyes at the same time.A smaller area suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the screen, clearly showing the contents of the crystal plate in Fudge's hand:

[British LAN · Today's hottest topic: #Fuji is out of class! #There are 21987 discussions]

[Hogwarts School Intranet·Today's hottest topic: #福吉向比Hogwarts# has 17355 discussions]

And three voting histograms:

【Public latest poll: Do you support Cornelius Fudge to continue as Minister of Magic? 】

【Support, Fudge, please continue to work hard——16%】

【No support, Fudge dismisses get out of class quickly——83.7%】

[Don't make a statement, it's none of my business - 0.3%]

Britain seemed quiet for a second.Moments later, the entire wizarding world erupted into wild laughter...

In the remote Burrow, Arthur had already returned to the ministry in an emergency.However, at this moment, everyone knew that Fudge's situation was over.Molly poured herself a cup of coffee, snorted in her pajamas, and hurriedly swiped to the discussion area, and also voted for Fudge's get out of class dismissal...

The other people in the office looked at Fudge who was inexplicably stupefied, and felt very disdainful, so they ignored him and let Hermione pull him aside and help him sit on a chair.

Dumbledore continued to stare sharply at Black: "You accused Peter Pedilou, who was judged a martyr 12 years ago, as an Animagus, and used this as the real culprit behind the scenes. With only one newspaper Can you prove that with the photos on the

Blake struggled to stare at the camera: "I...have...a mouse...it got caught..."

The hearts of the audience outside the venue were once again hanging high, but at this moment the camera suddenly changed to the outside of the huge stone window of the principal's office——

"Bang!" Something slammed the crystal glass, as if thunder and lightning had struck.

The window opened, and a big guy folded its wings cautiously with some difficulty, and then stepped in swiftly—all of a sudden, the lens was filled again, and Hermione had to manipulate both camera terminals to lean back a little.

"Dragon—! Is this the black dragon from Hogwarts!——" All the adults watching from the sidelines were shocked.

"Caesar!! Caesar went too!! Oh yes! Caesar is doing great!" These were the little wizards cheering in the auditorium.

"It's it—it's it!" Black suddenly widened his eyes, pointing to Caesar's sharp four claws and shouted, "It's it—kill him! He—”

Suddenly, he did not know what kind of strength he had gained, and jumped up amidst the exclamation of the crowd, and was quickly brought down by several professors.

"Thank you, Caesar." Hermione's narrator-like calm and clear voice sounded out of the camera again. She reached out and grabbed the mouse's tail, pointed it at the camera terminal, and asked Black in a low voice: "Peter you accused , is this the mouse?"

"Yes!—" Blake's eyes seemed to be shining infinitely, although he couldn't move, he roared as if from the bottom of his bones: "Give it to me, little girl..."

In full view, Hermione handed the mouse to Professor McGonagall who was closest to her.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.As always, she looked at Hermione with a very honest look.She stopped talking, took out her wand, and cast a profound spell——

Brilliant masterpiece. Within 10 minutes, wizards across the country experienced the scene of the second Animagus transformation.

The whole country was in an uproar again.All those who have met Peter 12 years ago are faintly sweating from behind...

"Scratches! It's really..." In the auditorium, Ron stood up abruptly, fell down again, held his face in disbelief, and murmured, "No wonder it lost a toe... so it was So...so...so that's how it is!"

Fred and George looked at each other in shock.They suddenly discovered a very serious problem... 12 years!This mouse has been in their house for 12 years, followed Percy to school for seven years, and has been under their noses for four or five years! ——But they, who clearly have the Marauder's Map, have never discovered this!

——They spend all their time exploring the secret passages and guarding against the professor, and they have never carefully looked at their own brother with a map.

——They never found out that Ron had been sleeping with a man named Peter Pedilou in the dormitory for three years...

Snape looked frozen.But his movements were faster than anyone else, and his expression seemed to be colder than death, he pried open the corner of Peter's weak mouth with his bare hands, and poured him a large bottle of Veritaserum—

"Okay, Severus, take control," said Dumbledore, looking at him. "Too much truth will burn out his brain."

Snape stepped back behind the Headmaster, a cruel smile curling up on his lips.

At this time, everyone outside the court recognized Snape, the youngest potions master in Europe.Many housewives exclaimed again and again, and at the same time kept sending short messages to their boudoir close friends. The editorial department of "Witch Weekly" was in chaos. The editor-in-chief took the lead, and everyone began to rush to work overnight, withdrawing the topics that had been planned to be discontinued, and planning to put Snape on the cover...

——"Oh my god, the professor is so handsome!!!"

——"Professor please take more shots!!"

On the Xiaonei website, many girls also lowered their heads and began frantically surfing the discussion forum.

After all, everyone's IQ is still at an average, normal level.At this point, everyone basically understood.In the discussion areas of the local area network and the Xiaonei network, some people have already scanned and uploaded the reports of the Prophet Daily that year, and all the replies have been pushed to more than 1.Coupled with the fact that the Ministry of Magic has been constantly promoting Black's danger during this period, even those who are not very clear about the past 12 years ago have a fairly clear understanding of the entanglements between James, Black, and Peter.

——Peter is a warrior. He sacrificed himself to protect his friends, and he would rather die than submit to the devil. He was bombed until only one toe bone remained.

——Blake is a Death Eater who betrays his friends. He has deep scheming and powerful evil forces. He was able to blow up a street with a magic wand 12 years ago, and escaped from Azkaban with his bare hands 12 years later.

——Peter is a martyr, and the urn is placed in front of the Knight of Merlin. He lived like a feather and died like a mountain.

——Although Blake is alive, he gave himself to the devil, and he is dead long ago.

Everyone has always thought so.

Now, all of this will be completely overturned...

Dumbledore could say that the moment he heard Black speak, he understood everything that happened back then.Countless schemes flashed through his mind one by one, but he still asked without changing color on the surface: "Peter Pedilou, is that you?"

Peter lying on the ground was so wretched and ugly, with flustered eyes and a sluggish demeanor... For a moment, everyone outside the court couldn't help but compare him with Black who was lying on the other side, and couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts.

"Yes..." Peter said, blinking.

"What did you do 12 years ago?"

"I……"

"Have you ever served Voldemort?"

"Yes." Peter closed his eyes.

Once again, there was an uproar in the auditorium.He admitted--he did!This matter is equivalent to a conclusion!

Draco suddenly shook Harry tightly, and said loudly with tears streaming down his face: "My little uncle...my little uncle is innocent!! You all saw it!! Harry! Look! He is Your godfather—your godfather never intended to harm anyone!! He is innocent!!!"

In the long Slytherin team, several little witches who were blood relatives to the Black family couldn't bear it at this time, and covered their lips one after another...

Tom watched all this in silence.All of this is noisy, black and white are intertwined, countless fates come on stage and then withdraw in an instant, like a gorgeous drama... It seems that it has nothing to do with him, but it all started because of him.

"...At the last moment, I persuaded James to let them replace me with the Secret Keeper. The master said that if Sirius was the Secret Keeper, it would be very troublesome to catch him, but it would be easy for me...I told the master, and he Got there, killed James and Lily. Then Sirius came to the scene and he knew right away that I did it. I was chased by him to the last street. I had to blow up the street and broke my own toe. Pretending to be dead, turning into a mouse and running away."

Peter's face was as dead as dead, and he was so weak that he couldn't lift a bit of strength.His face was even scratched several times by Caesar's four claws just now, Long Wei is extraordinary, even the blood that flows out is black at this moment.

However, like this, he seemed unable to control himself, and kept forcing himself to reveal the hidden truth bit by bit——

"How dare you!!! How dare you have the face—" Black gritted his teeth and cursed on the ground, "You despicable mouse! How dare you have the face—to mention the names of James and Lily!!!"

The camera gave him a close-up.At this moment, the frantic and thin face of the fugitive looked like the incarnation of chivalrous pride and indomitable spirit to audiences across the country.

Thousands of miles away in Malfoy Manor, Lucius hugged Narcissa tightly with a pale face.Holding up the terminal, the house-elf looked anxiously at the head of the house holding the mistress—the youngest daughter of the Black family, and almost the last blood, was already in her husband's arms, weeping uncontrollably.

Dumbledore continued to ask, "How did you end up with the Weasleys?"

In the Ministry of Magic, everyone looked at the terminal anxiously at this moment.Arthur's heart skipped a beat—everyone looked at him.Mr. Weasley yelled suddenly, I am a fugitive, I really didn't want to hide it! ...

"It was I who became a mouse and fled to their house. I heard from the master that they are loyal members of the Order of the Phoenix, like Muggles, a shame of pure blood. The master of the house works in the Ministry of Magic and is poor. Such a family, I Hiding there will not arouse anyone's suspicion. Sure enough, Arthur Weasley picked me up, and their family couldn't afford a pet, so they gave me to his son who was going to school happily."

"Have you been with the Weasleys for 12 years and never been found by them?"

"No. I'm afraid that other subordinates of the master will come looking for me. I haven't changed shape, and I'm recharging my energy in the form of a mouse. They just think I'm too listless. But their family is too poor, so they can only keep pets like me."

Suddenly, everyone in the auditorium turned their attention to Percy, Ron and the twins...

Percy was very embarrassed, Ron lowered his head in pain, only the twins patted their chests calmly, and loudly proclaimed: "Everyone, isn't it cool to be certified as a 'Pure Blood Shame' by the mysterious man? Isn't it cool? Is it?! I am proud of our father! Of course, everyone knows that our family is very poor, and the quick-acting sugar business, please take care of it..."

In the Ministry of Magic, everyone looked at Arthur with some sympathy...

Arthur wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally realized that Dumbledore was exonerating himself, he couldn't help but let out a long breath...

Basically all the truth has been revealed.Dumbledore looked at Peter sharply and sighed, and asked the last question:

"Why did you betray the Potters? Weren't you once friends?"

Blake yelled emotionally again on the ground, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't yell: "Principal, don't ask him this question! He doesn't deserve it!!! I also thought about it in prison for 12 years, and I don't know ! There is no need to know—since he killed James and the others, I must take revenge!—”

Hermione watched coldly from the sidelines, and at the same time glanced at Fudge, who was petrified next to him.His eyes stayed on the homepage that had just been automatically refreshed just now. At this time, new hot topics were pushed up one after another. Visually, the crowd had calmed down, and there were many voices demanding to set things right:

[How did the Ministry of Magic do things back then? !How can such an obvious unjust, false and wrongly decided case be wrong until now? !Are we paying taxes for nothing? 】

[On the deep-seated reasons for the Ministry of Magic's decision to make the fake come true: Where is the century-old family of the Black family, the huge property that was confiscated? 】

[I don't understand, why did you catch Blake 12 years ago and not feed him Veritaserum? 】

[What is the mentality of those who scold the Ministry of Magic now? ? ? ?Didn't you also believe that Peter was a hero and that Blake was a villain? ? ? 】

[Everyone who cleans the floor for Fudge, get fucked!During this period of time, they were clamoring to catch Blake, which made the chickens and dogs restless, but in the end it was up to Dumbledore to solve it! ! 】

【God, poor senior Sirius, I knew he was in love with senior James... But why didn't he defend himself in court? 】

"Hehe..." Peter laughed deeply, with a hint of masochistic misery at the corner of his mouth.

"Friends?" he murmured resentfully, "you...you...hehe...have you ever considered me a friend? You, James Potter, and Lupine, you, always think yourself right... ...Hehe... Indeed, at that time, everyone, teachers, principals, they only saw you in their hearts, and no one cared about me..."

"You're killing them just for that!?" Black yelled again, "Did you know?! James and Lily are dead! Never coming back! Where's Harry?! Harry's so little— —”

"Heh! Haha!" Peter pointed at him and laughed loudly, "You scold me? Well, it's fine if you scold me... But you mention Harry? Are you worthy? In the past 12 years, haven't you been the same as me? ?You godfather, have you ever been in charge of Harry for a day? Harry looked at the photo of his parents and you in the dormitory in the middle of the night and saw tears. Do you know all this? You have shrunk like a dog for 12 years, what is it with me? the difference!!!"

The scene was already in chaos, Blake couldn't speak a complete sentence, grinned his teeth, blushed angrily, and barked like a dog—Hermione shook her head and extinguished the live broadcast just in time.

She vaguely heard a long "Hey!" from the direction of the auditorium outside the window, as if the reaction to the power outage in the block when the Muggle residence was—Dumbledore raised his head and glanced at her, watching her lightly poke Fudge, still sluggish.

"Minister." She said softly, "Aren't you going to have someone come and take away the real culprit now? After all, you are still a minister now."

When Fudge heard the phrase "You are still a minister", he knew that the situation was over, and he couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness.He nodded stumblingly, stood up, and met Dumbledore's gaze.

The face of the man who pushed himself to the position of minister 12 years ago has become younger than himself, but those sharp eyes are still exactly the same as 12 years ago...

Fudge walked over exhausted physically and mentally, and passed by the archmage with long reddish-brown hair.As soon as he brushed against him, he suddenly understood that this was his own destiny, no matter how much he tried to fight against it, try to turn the tables, try to dominate himself - he was no match for the power of the king.In this confrontation between black and white, king and king, he is just a pawn in the formation of the white king.Now, this pawn is useless.

"Connelly, do you still need to take Sirius away?" Dumbledore looked at his expression and asked gently: "Given his mental condition, I suggest that it would be good for him to observe with me for one night. Bobby will It was a pleasure to take care of him."

Originally, according to the usual practice, Fudge should at least take Black to the Legal Enforcement Department for a record aisle procedure, but at this moment, he seemed to be full of lead, thinking about nothing, and didn't bother to care about anything.

"Well, it's up to you," he said vaguely.

People from the executive department quickly came over through the fireplace, took Peter away, and led him out of the principal's office - the dementors were waiting for them directly at the edge of the forest.

Fudge glanced at the people who came, seeing that they were all subordinates of the former director of the executive department, Barty Crouch... couldn't help but smile miserably.

He waved his hand at last, and said with a look of coolness: "Then that's it... I'm leaving, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Dumbledore looked at him deeply, with a trace of intolerance in his tone: "Goodbye...good luck, Connelly."

Hermione looked at this person's back and knew that this person's history was over.

The principal's office was in a mess.All the teachers went up to help Black, but Snape stood there without moving.Hermione looked at him, and found that he had used Occlumency on himself again, and his whole expression fell into a dead silence...

"Sirius..." Professor McGonagall looked at his former lover with heartache, "Why didn't you defend yourself at all at that time?"

"I...professor..." Blake choked up.

"How did you escape from prison? Poor...seeing how thin you are..." Professor Flitwick was also distressed.

"It's a long story, it's all after I saw the newspaper..."

Hermione ran over.Snape suddenly woke up a little, his eyes rolled dully, and stared at her.

She held the terminal in her hand, faced Black, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to talk to Harry?"

"Harry..." The big black dog froze suddenly.At that moment, he seemed to be suddenly plunged into darkness—then, he suddenly choked up, covered his face, and burst into tears: "What face do I have to see Harry? What face do I have to see him?! I'm sorry for him ...Peter was right! I'm sorry for James, and I'm even more sorry for Harry!—”

A few steps away, Snape stood there, looking at the enemy he once hated the most.

At that moment, it was as if time and space were reversed, as if back decades ago, when he was in his teens and he was also in his teens. At that time, the other party's family was prominent and youthful, and he was poor and despised by everyone. At that time, he was also in such a principal's office. The other party made a mistake, but he was still fooling around. Under the urging of the principal, he impatiently threw out "I'm sorry".

Now he is standing here, decades later, he is in his 30s, he is also in his 30s, he has become the youngest potions master in Europe and the head of Slytherin, and the other party is just a fugitive who has just been released , penniless with nothing, kneeling on the stall, weeping bitterly like a dog.

But in Snape's heart, there was no pleasure at all.

He deeply understands that in them, in their generation, there is the same thing, which has been lost.Regardless of health or disease, whether poor or rich, the deepest treasures they once had in their hearts will never be found again.

The author has something to say: What is it that Snape and Black both lost?

It is youth and love.

Sirius loves freedom all his life, unrestrained indulgence, what he loves is the time when he was with James forever and unscrupulously, and he will stay in that moment forever, never going back;

And the time when Snape was with the love in his heart can never go back.
