But Severus didn't know all this, he silently sprinkled Floo powder and came to Dumbledore's office.

No one knew that Spider's End was connected to Hogwarts' Floo network.

"Voldemort knew that prophecy." He fanned the smell of candy in his nostrils with his hand, which made him frown hard.

"Don't be so Severus, she also likes to eat Honeydukes candy." Dumbledore shook his head when he saw Severus' movements.

"He will hurt Lily, and James Potter." Severus stepped forward and stood in front of Dumbledore's table, "They are also members of the Order of the Phoenix, aren't they?"

Dumbledore's withered and wrinkled fingers tapped on the table, he seemed to be thinking about something, but as time passed, he still kept the same action.

This made Severus couldn't help suspecting that Dumbledore was asleep, so he could only remind, "Children born in the seventh month are easy to find out, and we don't have much time."

Dumbledore raised his eyes and looked at the nervous young man, "I'll make arrangements, Severus. Come to teach at Hogwarts next semester."

"Let them be safe." Severus took a deep look at Dumbledore, turned and walked towards the fireplace.

After Severus left, Dumbledore sighed slowly. He looked around at the pictures of previous headmasters on the wall. It was time for a meeting of the Order of the Phoenix.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the headmaster's office, including Dumbledore, Severus, and the Marauder.

Lily's face was a little pale, she leaned close to James, and the two intertwined their fingers, as if this would give them strength for each other.

"I will discuss with the Ministry of Magic and send Aurors to protect you, as well as the Longbottoms." Dumbledore sat at the head, talking about his plan calmly, "Only you and the Longbottoms are in line with the prophecy. I'll make arrangements as well."

"And you need to move immediately."

"Don't tell anyone the new address," Severus said, his eyes resting on Peter for a moment, "wait for the limelight to pass."

Sirius thought for a moment, then asked, "If the addresses of Lily and Potter are kept secret, how can Aurors protect them? After all, Aurors are a big target."

Severus got up, he walked to the window, glanced cautiously out of the window, and said in a low voice: "Voldemort thinks that the boy in the prophecy is from the Longbottom family, and he is going to go himself."

"In this case, James' side will be safer, and we will put the main force on the other side." Dumbledore tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair lightly, "In order to avoid accidents, you should stay here, I will let The minister sent some Aurors to guard here, and if Voldemort changes his mind, let us know immediately."

James nodded, and he reassured his wife, "It'll be all right."

Lily nodded, but the worry on her face still couldn't be hidden.

"By the way, James." Behind Dumbledore's half-moon glasses, his eyes sank, "I suggest you use the Fidelity Charm, you know, that's the best way to hide something."

"So you still need a secret keeper."

James looked around, and he decided on the candidate without thinking, "Sirius."

Dumbledore even suggested that he should be the secret keeper.

But James' attitude is very firm, he has absolute trust in his friends.

Severus wouldn't get involved, he just curled his lips slightly, obviously not enjoying James and Sirius' bromance in front of him.

But Lupine and Peter didn't have any objections. They followed Dumbledore's words and ambushed around to protect the James family secretly.

Penelope sensitively noticed that the Ministry of Magic seems to be a bit busy recently, but this has nothing to do with her idle and moldy department. At this time, Hogwarts has just started, and there will be no naughty children using magic outside the school. , and her grandmother was not feeling well recently, so she could only take a week off to visit the elderly in Greenwich with her parents.

She didn't know the situation of James and Lily, and even wrote them a letter saying that she couldn't see Harry for a week.

The journey to Greenwich was not very pleasant. Her grandmother was still in good health, but she had some recurring senile diseases, and the old lady obviously didn't like the witch Penelope very much, and her words were a bit weird.

Penelope even regretted asking for leave. She even planned to go back to London directly through Apparition, but was stopped by Mrs. Brown. She was trying to make her mother change her view of her daughter.

When she returned to London a week later, Penelope did not expect that everything had changed.

As soon as Mr. Brown drove the car into the yard, Penelope got out of the car eagerly, and she was getting bored all the way.

Before she could stand still, a big black dog suddenly jumped out and bit Penelope's skirt.

"Sirius?" Penelope frowned. She knew that the predator practiced Animagus, so she found a random reason and brought the big black dog back to her bedroom. turned into Sirius.

He looked a little bad at this time, the robe on his body was torn and torn, and there were dried blood on it, while his arms and legs were covered with scars, and the fine wounds on his face were still bleeding.

Penelope had never seen him in such a mess before, she was in a hurry, and the healing spells she had learned in the past seemed to have been forgotten in an instant, so she could only bring the medicine box, take out iodine, cotton swabs and gauze to give Sirius treated the wound.

After Sirius transformed back, he stood there blankly until Penelope was about to cut off his sleeve to help him deal with the wound, and then he hugged Penelope's shoulder fiercely.

"James and Lily..."

Sirius hugged Penelope's arm tightly, and there was an obvious, suppressed cry in his voice, "James and Lily were killed by Voldemort."

"what?"

Penelope couldn't believe it, she forcibly broke away from Sirius' embrace, and stared into his eyes, "Today is not April Fool's Day, Sirius."

"Don't make such silly jokes on me!"

Her voice was raised, her face stern, and she expected Sirius to burst out laughing and pat her on the shoulder to tell her it was just a prank, but Sirius wasn't.

He just lowered his head weakly, and told Penelope what happened, "Professor Trelawney predicted that the boy born in July would defeat Voldemort, and Voldemort knew that only Harry was born in July , and the Longbottoms' children."

He covered his face with his hands, as if trying to calm down, "Severus told Dumbledore about it, and then we made a decision to hide James and Lily's house with the Fidelity Charm."

"Originally I was the secret keeper, little Pei." Sirius shook his head, "But I finally discussed with James and changed the secret keeper to Peter. No one except the three of us knew about it."

"But James is dead, and Peter is dead. It was Peter who revealed it to Voldemort. It was him, but both Lupine and Dumbledore felt that I was the one who betrayed."

Penelope blinked, she couldn't believe every word Sirius said, but he was in a bad state, Penelope could only hug him back and comforted him in a low voice: "Let me give You take care of the wound, okay?"

"No, Xiaopei, it's all my fault. If I hadn't proposed to change secretaries James and Lily, I wouldn't have died."

Penelope felt her shoulders wet, she hugged Sirius quietly, analyzing every word he said in her mind.

Because of a prophecy, Voldemort wanted to find the boy who would threaten him, and they used the Loyalty Curse to protect Harry. The secret keeper was originally Sirius, but Peter was finally replaced, but Peter took refuge in Voldemort and betrayed them.

So...James and Lily...

Penelope's tears overflowed uncontrollably, "Where's Harry? Is Harry okay?"

"Harry is fine, he defeated Voldemort." Sirius' voice was a bit bitter, "The prophecy is true."

"Then how did you become like this?"

"They all think I betrayed James and Lily, do you believe me, little Pei?"

Penelope bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying, and could only nod fiercely.

After the two people's emotions stabilized, Penelope began to treat Sirius' wound. She gently wiped the blood with a cotton swab, then applied medicine and bandaged it.

"Actually, those Death Eaters can't beat me." Sirius looked down at the wound on his arm, "Those Aurors want to arrest me, I am innocent, so I can only run away and dare not fight back. The magic wand on the way to escape Lost it too."

"Then what do you do next?" Penelope frowned, her eyes were still red, but she felt that she should be more worried about what was in front of her.

"Wandering, fleeing." Sirius shrugged, "Then find a chance to avenge James and Lily."

"But Voldemort is dead."

"Those Death Eaters are still there." Sirius turned his head and looked out the window, "Those pure-blood families, they are all accomplices."

The fierce expression on Sirius' face made Penelope tremble. She pressed Sirius' hand and comforted, "Let's tell Dumbledore the truth."

"It's useless." Sirius shook his head, "I explained it, but Peter is dead, and everything is dead without proof."

Penelope opened her mouth, but found herself powerless to refute.

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

"Maybe it's tripped, I'll go out and have a look."

Penelope patted the back of Sirius' hand reassuringly, pushed open the door, and was about to ask Mr. Brown what happened, but met someone from the Ministry of Magic.

"Miss Brown, we are arresting the fugitive Sirius Black, please cooperate."

The leader, Penelope, had seen it at the Ministry of Magic, but she was not very familiar with it. She was about to close the door, but was pushed open by force. She could only yell at Sirius, "Get out of the window!"

"It's useless, Sirius Black." The man took out the arrest warrant, "We now have enough evidence to prove that you participated in Voldemort's plan."

"He didn't."

Penelope stopped in front of the man, she took out her wand, and a firm expression appeared on her usually gentle face, "I can prove it."

The man smiled, as if he heard a joke, "Miss Brown, you were not in London yesterday, how can you prove it?"

He waved his hand, motioning for the Aurors to grab Sirius.

Seeing that there were people guarding outside the window, Sirius could only slowly retreat to the center of the bedroom. He looked at the leading man and asked, "Does Dumbledore know?"

The man seems to have won the game, he is not worried about Sirius escaping, and is happy to answer his questions, "Of course Dumbledore knows, including your good friend Lupine, everyone in the wizarding world knows that Sirius Black betrayed His friend, help Voldemort."

"I told you, he didn't!"

Penelope pointed her wand at the man, but Sirius held it down.

"I'll go with you."

She heard Sirius say that.

"do not want!"

Penelope grabbed Sirius and shook her head, "You are innocent."

"Xiao Pei, listen to me." He patted Penelope's head, with a gentle and gentlemanly smile she was familiar with, "It's me who is going to atone for my sin."

Penelope's wand slammed to the ground, and she watched as Sirius was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, and then the lights in the room came back on.

The medicine chest on the bed was still open, and there was Penelope's shredded robe.

She slowly covered her face, crying from her fingers.
