[HP] Soft Fried Rabbit Cake

The two escorted Sirius around the long corridor and stopped in front of a door.It was a very old door, made of wood, with a frame wrapped in iron sheet, glowing with a dark light.

Sirius was a little nervous, but he stabilized his emotions, no matter what was on the other side of the door, he couldn't let himself look frightened and embarrassed, he raised his chin, showing his haggard face that had been tortured during this period.

One of the wizards grabbed the knocker on the door and pulled it open.

On the other side of the door is a closed room like a dark room, with a huge lamp hanging from the high ceiling, and the cold light source illuminates the surrounding black, solid stones with a faint luster.

As soon as I walked in the door, I felt a stale air-conditioning rushing towards me. The whole room was several degrees colder than the outside. It seemed that the coldness came from the bottom of my feet, which was gloomy.

The cuboid room is surrounded by densely arranged benches, each row of which is stepped higher than the other, and wizards in dark wizard robes are crowded and crowded.

This is a courtroom.

Seeing the door at the corner of the court room opened, Sirius Black walked in, and the wizards made small chatter.

"Sirius Black... the Black family," said a wizard wearing a black pointed hat.

"Bellatrix Lestrange, a notorious Death Eater and a fanatical follower of You-Know-Who." The witch in dark brown wizard robes stared at Sirius who passed in front of her, "His church sister."

Sirius gave her a cold look.

"He betrayed the Potters, bloody traitors."

"Killed a street of Muggles, and his friend Pedillo."

"This kind of person should be thrown directly into Azkaban!"

"..."

Sirius pursed the corners of his mouth. He glanced blankly at those who were speaking, and then fixed his eyes on the chained chair in the center of the room.

He was pushed up, and the chains on the chair suddenly glowed golden, tightly wrapped around his arms and legs, and tied him firmly to the chair.

Sirius didn't resist, just sat quietly, looking ahead, Barty Crouch, who was directly opposite, stared at Sirius with burning eyes, as if he could dig out countless treasures from him.

Sirius glanced at him indifferently, glanced away, and glanced at the other people sitting across from him, then lowered his gaze, looking at his crossed fingers resting on his knees.

"Sirius Black." Crouch stood up and said, his voice was high-pitched and strange, and there was a chill in Sen Leng's room, "You were brought before the Ministry of Magic Legal Committee, answering your question accused."

Sirius looked at him without saying a word.

"You are accused of participating in Death Eater activities, betraying the Potters, murdering Peter Pedilou, and blowing up a street in front of Muggles, killing twelve Muggles." Crouch said fiercely, like An old cat that smells of mice.

With heavy eyes, Sirius said slowly, "I haven't."

The entire courtroom was like a pod thrown into a tranquilizer, and it exploded all of a sudden, and various accusations sounded, and it became a mess.

"Quiet!" Crouch shouted loudly, and the room slowly returned to silence.

"Cirius Black, you refuse to admit what you have done?" Crouch asked, leaning forward, squinting his eyes.

"I refuse to admit it." Sirius replied again, his tone was very leisurely, as if sitting in a sunny garden, drinking tea and chatting, "At least I can't admit that I betrayed James, I would rather die myself, I won't betray them...but I really want to kill Peter, that scumbag."

There were conversations all around again.

Crouch raised his voice, overshadowing the trivial discussions around him: "I have countless witnesses who can prove that you blew up a street, killed a dozen Muggles, and blew up Peter Pedirou to pieces."

Sirius did not have any witnesses to prove his innocence, so he fell silent.

"I can prove it." A deep voice came, Sirius turned his head, and Albus Dumbledore seemed to appear suddenly, standing at the only corner door of the courtroom, "I have evidence to prove that Sirius Black is not Death Eater, I vouch for him."

Sirius felt his heart beat heavily, as if he had been waiting for Dumbledore's arrival, he let out a breath slowly.

"Wow—" Another pod jumped into the cauldron, and everyone began to whisper.

Dumbledore strode quickly to the center of the courtroom: "I was waiting for a witness, but luckily he arrived."

Crouch pursed his lips, frowned and stared at Dumbledore, watching him slowly raise a wand, and then use the Levitation Charm to send it in front of him.

"This is Sirius Black's wand. I protected it before it was broken," said Dumbledore. "Let's try the 'Flashback Charm'..."

Brienia stood against the wall, staring at the opposite wooden door, unconsciously biting her nails; not far from her stood another wizard, his face was pale, as if he had just given birth Like a serious illness.

The corridor was eerily silent.

"Ka——" the door opened, and a man in a black wizard robe said in a deep voice, "Brenia Essex."

Brienia stood up straight at once, put her hands behind her back, and nodded.

The wizard stepped aside, and Brienia clenched her fists and walked through the door.

As soon as she entered, she was startled by the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere and the gazes of the jurors. She almost wanted to turn around and run away, but she took a step back and stopped herself.

Brienia ignored the gazes looking around, and suddenly found Sirius in the center. He also turned his head to look at this side. The two people's eyes met. Brienia bit her lip and almost cried.

She had never seen Sirius in such a state of embarrassment. He looked extremely emaciated, as if he had been tortured. In just a week, his cheeks were sunken, revealing his cheekbones; his hair was like stray dogs, messy. Tangled, with no luster; the wizard's robe was torn, and the white shirt inside was almost gray.

Sirius looked at Brienia, who had red eye circles, and smiled at her; that reassuring smile looked more like a wry smile against the unshaven chin and pale lips.

The two looked at each other for only a few seconds, but they seemed to read through the worries and comforts in each other's eyes.Brienia took a deep breath, lowered her eyes, and followed the wizard who led the way.

She walked into the witness stand, let out a breath, and glanced at Sirius, her cold body warmed up as if her blood had been ignited, and she even trembled with excitement.

Brienia pinched her palm: it will be fine.

"Brennia Essex," Crouch asked aloud. "What's your relationship with Sirius Black?"

"Lover," Brienia replied, her voice trembling.

"Did you know he was the Potters' secret keeper?"

"I know, but..." Brienia said eagerly.

Crouch interrupted her: "Then do you know that less than a month after Black became the secret keeper, the mysterious man found the hiding place of the Potters and killed the Potters?"

"The secret keeper has been changed!" Brienia did not answer Crouch's question, but said what she wanted to say directly, otherwise she would not have a chance to intervene, "Lily and James' secret keeper changed, just when they had an accident the week before."

The wizards around had obviously never heard of this statement, and they immediately started discussing it, but Crouch seemed completely dumbfounded, and didn't pursue the question any further.

Brinia raised her voice and said immediately: "Because everyone knows that Sirius is the secret keeper, so he made Peter the secret keeper. I know, and Professor Dumbledore also knows."

"Peter Pedilou is dead." Crouch patted the table.

"That's him!" retorted Brienia sharply. She had never hated anyone so much. "We all trusted him, we thought it was so safe...Damn him!"

The entire courtroom fell silent, and Crouch reflexively glanced at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore just stood quietly, his eyes lowered as if thinking about something.

"After replacing the Secret Keeper, we told Professor Dumbledore, and Sirius has been with me since then. He has never left my sight, and he no longer has the right to disclose Lily's address to the Death Eaters." Renia said, she stared at Crouch, as if only in this way can she put on a brave and fearless look, "Every word I say is the truth, and I am willing to cooperate with taking Veritaserum to prove it."

Brienia's mood was obviously not right, Dumbledore gave her a comforting look, and said in a steady voice: "There is another witness, he is a wizard sent by the Order of the Phoenix to protect Peter Pedilu. He was blackmailed before." Magical attack, has been treated at St Mungo's."

Crouch waved his hand as if impatient, and Brienia was led down.

She went out, stood against the wall, and saw the pale wizard who had been waiting with her before enter the courtroom, and the door was slowly closed.

The moment the door closed, she seemed to have been drained of strength, and slid against the wall and sat on the ground, feeling weak all over, only to realize that her back was wet, her hair was straight, and her hands and legs were trembling.

I don't know if it's because of excitement or fear.

Not caring about her appearance, she buried her head in her arms, curled up in a ball and waited.
