[hp] That Slytherin I've seen

Before Penelope saw the almost destroyed house, she took a chance.

What if it was just a joke?What if Sirius was arrested for doing something else?

But when she stood in front of the house, she couldn't lie to herself anymore.

Whether it's the fallen door, the traces of the flames outside the house, and the broken windows, it all indicates that a fierce battle took place here. Although there are traces of being cleaned up, it still looks conceivable. By how intense that night was.

"I shouldn't have left." Penelope looked at the door, she didn't even have the courage to go in, she could only murmur: "I should have stayed..."

She squatted down and couldn't help but bury her head in her knees.She remembered what James and Lily had said about joining the Order of the Phoenix that day...

"If something happens to them, Harry will trust her."

Yes, that's right, and Harry.

Penelope seemed to have suddenly found the backbone. She stood up and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve. The Ministry of Magic has a floo network connected to Hogwarts. She chanted a spell and appeared in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic.

It was time to go to work, but Penelope's vacation was not over yet. She grabbed the floo powder by the fireplace, repeated the Hogwarts principal's room, and stepped into the fireplace.

This was her first visit to the principal's office. Penelope looked at the table. The old man sitting there seemed not surprised at her arrival, but felt a little regretful.

"I thought it was Severus who brought you here." Dumbledore took off his glasses and wiped them, making sure they were free of dust, before putting them on the bridge of his nose.

Penelope remembered that Severus was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, but her main goal now was Harry.

"Where's Harry? I want to take him to my house."

Dumbledore shook his head. He came out from behind the desk, holding an exquisite plate full of candy in his hand, "Penelope, listen to me first."

He passed the plate to Penelope, "Try it, it's not easy to find someone with the same hobbies as me, Severus always dislikes the smell of candy in my office."

Penelope looked down, she was familiar with the candy on the plate, it was a new product just developed by Honeydukes last time, she took two, but there was nothing to eat, but the old man in front of her took it apart as if nothing had happened. Opening candy and putting it in his mouth, Penelope couldn't help reminding, "Mr. Principal..."

"You are quite similar to Severus." Dumbledore shook his head, he sat down on the sofa, then pointed to the chair opposite, motioning for Penelope to sit down.

"You've already heard the general idea from that kid from the Black family." He pushed his glasses.

Penelope nodded, thinking of Sirius who was captured by the Ministry of Magic, he couldn't help but said, "Sirius will not betray James, can you think of a way to save him?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "Penelope, he is the secret keeper of the Fidelity Curse. Peter is dead. His death can already prove his innocence, so the evidence is solid."

"but……"

Penelope wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Dumbledore, "James and Lily are very powerful wizards, they can even fight against Voldemort, and escape from him, the phoenix ambush in Godric's Hollow Club members, as well as Aurors, this was originally a game that must be won."

"But the ambush site was exposed, and Voldemort even sneaked into James' house quietly. By the time we saw the green light in the house, it belonged to the Avada Kedavra curse, and it was already a little late."

"When we were about to rush in to save people, the Death Eaters showed up, and by the time the breakout burst into the house, James was already on the ground, and Lily, who gave Harry loving protection, deflected Voldemort's Killing Curse, exactly. In other words, Voldemort killed himself."

Penelope squeezed the candy subconsciously, "What about Harry?"

"Harry has a scar on his forehead, but he is healthy." Dumbledore leaned on the back of the sofa and looked out the window. "McGonagall and I sent him to his aunt's house."

"He's famous in wizarding circles now, he's called the Boy Who Lived, everyone knows he killed Voldemort."

"The sacrifices of Penelope, James and Lily were worth it. The Death Eaters were all captured and sent to Azkaban, where they will receive their punishment."

Penelope shook her head lightly, "They are still so young, Harry should have had a happy family, why didn't they tell me that I can stay and help..."

Dumbledore watched as Penelope buried her face in her palm, and suppressed crying came from there. He walked over and patted her on the shoulder lightly. This wise old man obviously didn't know how to comfort others.

"They were just afraid of implicating you." Dumbledore paused, "After all, Harry still needs your care."

Hearing Harry, Penelope could only suppress the sadness in her heart, and she said: "I will raise him as my own child, after all, I am his godmother."

Dumbledore shook his head, and he said, "Being famous too early is not a good thing for Harry, Penelope, just let him stay in that Muggle family."

Penelope knew that Penny hated Lily, she frowned, and was about to say something, but finally fell silent under Dumbledore's gaze.

"Now let's talk about Severus." Dumbledore poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Penelope.

In fact, Penelope didn't really want to discuss this topic, but she still couldn't help being curious, after all, James and Lily had said that Severus was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Severus came to see me when you were in the fourth or fifth grade." Dumbledore tapped his head, "I can't remember clearly when I'm older."

"He said that he was invited to join the Death Eaters, that evil organization, but he was afraid that Voldemort would hurt you after joining. After all, it preached the supremacy of pure blood, so he came to ask me if there was any good way to make the Death Eaters not Stare at him again."

"I offered him two choices, either directly reject the invitation and stand completely against the Death Eaters, or agree and become an undercover agent for the Order of the Phoenix."

"Severus gave me the answer after only thinking about it for a long time. You should have guessed it. He chose the second option, but the request was for me to protect you. That's why he kept alienating you, even the confession letter. Unable to reply, he is afraid that he will be exposed and you will be involved, but he is even more afraid that after breaking with the Death Eaters completely, their revenge will involve the innocent you."

Dumbledore spread his hands, as if he was extremely helpless towards Severus, "Although this is a bit redundant, I still hope that you can have a good talk."

"As much as possible."

Penelope wanted to end this topic as soon as possible, she was a little upset that she knew too much today, whether it was about James Lily or about Severus.

Dumbledore moved his fingers, and then, the pendant around Penelope's neck flew out, floating in mid-air, shining with a charming luster.

Dumbledore's voice sounded a little lost, "Bloodmate... It's been a long time. I saw Sev put it in the inner pocket of his robe. I once had one."

With a nostalgic look on his face, he let the pendant go back to Penelope, "but it broke later."

Penelope silently pressed her hands on the blood alliance, she didn't know what to say.

The expression on Dumbledore's face was a little sad, he was silent for a while, and then issued an order to evict Penelope, "Okay, Penelope, go and see Harry, or Sev, he is seriously injured Yes, but he probably won't go to St. Mungo's, according to his character."

Penelope nodded. She stood up and nodded towards Dumbledore, "Thank you, Mr. Headmaster."

Back at the Ministry of Magic, the first thing Penelope did was to resign.

The boss did not make things difficult for her, and quickly approved her resignation. Soon, Penelope became a new vagrant. After she returned home, she told her parents about her resignation and was going to visit Privet Drive. Harry.

Penny didn't move, but she wasn't overly surprised to see Penelope. The two sat on the sofa, relatively silent.

After a while, Penelope couldn't help asking, "Where's Harry?"

"Upstairs, he fell asleep." Petunia leaned on the sofa, paused, and asked, "Lily... is it true?"

Penelope nodded. She watched Penny turn her head away and wiped her face with her hands, "Wizards are dangerous... aren't they?"

"I am going to stay in London. Take Harry to me. You are married. Your husband may not be happy if he stays here." Penelope explained, "And I am his godmother, I I am going to work in my father's office, and I can take care of the children."

Penelope's words did touch on Penny's pain point. She was silent for a while, then nodded, and took Penelope upstairs to pack her things.

Looking at the boy sleeping soundly in the cradle, Penelope finally showed a smile. She hugged Harry and took a small bag that Penny had sorted out, "My house is at 15 South Street, would you like to see He can come anytime."

The moment Penelope walked out the door, Penny finally couldn't help it. She stopped Penelope, hesitated, and said her request, "Don't let him get in touch with wizards, I don't want him Follow his mother's path, okay?"

Penelope nodded, James and Lily's child, who couldn't possibly be a Muggle, was destined to go to Hogwarts at the age of eleven.

But she didn't say any of this.

She turned and carried Harry into the car.
