Chapter 26 The Real Situation of That Year

Looking at the man in front of him, Harry opened his eyes wide in horror: "You are Sirius Black, the fugitive with the gun." He took a step back as he spoke, avoiding the hand extended by Sirius, and held up The wand was pointed at him, "There was a picture of you on TV, you murderer, you turned out to be an Animagus wizard."

"No, Harry, I'm not a murderer." Sirius lowered his hand weakly, "How could I betray James, how could I..." His voice suddenly choked up, and a painful expression emerged.

"James? My father? You know my father?" Harry was clearly bewildered. He couldn't figure out how the most wanted murderer in the Muggle world could become an Animagus wizard and know him. His father, however, still pointed his wand at Sirius warily and did not put it down.

Ginny knew that she couldn't explain what happened back then, but at least Sirius had been drawn out so far, and her initial goal had been achieved.Therefore, she stepped forward and lightly pressed Harry's hand holding the wand: "Harry, he shouldn't have any malice towards us, otherwise he would have done it long ago after following us for so long. It's not safe here, Why don't we find a place to listen to him talk about what's going on?"

Hearing Ginny's words, Sirius looked up sharply, and looked at Harry hopefully with almost pleading eyes.Harry looked hesitantly at Sirius, then at Ginny, and when he saw Ginny nodding affirmatively at him, he finally said, "Okay, then where are we going?"

"It's better to go to my house. There is no one in my house now, so it's convenient to talk." Ginny motioned Harry to pick up the luggage that was thrown on the ground just now, and then turned to look at Sirius, "Mr. Black, my house—the Weasley's house Do you know the Burrow?"

"Of course, it was also one of the strongholds of our Order of the Phoenix back then, the home of Arthur and Molly who once fought side by side." Sirius had memories in his eyes, and then looked at Ginny's red hair, "So you are Wes From the Lai family, no wonder they have red hair."

"That's good, now the knight bus is obviously not available, you can just take us to apparate." Ginny pulled Harry forward, and then took Sirius' hand.A touch of emotion flashed across Sirius' eyes, obviously delighted by Ginny's trust.Then, he squeezed Ginny's hand, and glanced at Harry again, making sure he was holding Ginny, and immediately Apparated.

After a brief moment of cramped discomfort, they had reached the Burrow's door.Ginny opened the door and welcomed Sirius and Harry in together.After they sat down, she made coffee for them and took out some biscuits: "I'm sorry, there are only some ready-made biscuits at home, you should fill your hunger first." As she said, she pushed the plate towards Sirius pushed.

Sirius glanced at her gratefully, first wolfed down several biscuits, and drank a large cup of coffee, then raised his head and said uncertainly: "I remember your name is—Ginnie?"

"Ginny, Ginnifera? Molly? Weasley." Ginny smiled and poured him another cup of coffee.

"Yes, Ginny. I remember the last time I met Arthur, he said excitedly that the Weasley family finally had a little princess, and it turned out to be you, child. Unexpectedly, you have grown so big." His voice He lowered himself, although he was speaking to Ginny, but his eyes looked at Harry who was sitting next to Ginny.

But Harry didn't answer, his eyes still had doubts and guard, but his sweaty hand quietly took Ginny's hand under the table.Apparently, he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. For the possible old acquaintance of his father, he had expectations but was not sure, fearing that it was just another scam.

Ginny held Harry's hand instead, and smiled at Sirius, "Okay, Mr. Black, please tell me about your relationship with Harry's father, Mr. Potter, and your real identity. What?"

"I am James' best friend, best brother, and Harry's godfather, and my current identity is a fugitive prisoner in Azkaban." Sirius said in a deep voice, just talking about James' When he said his name, he couldn't hide the complex expression of regret, guilt and pain in his eyes.

After hearing the words "The Fugitive Prisoner of Azkaban", Harry shook Ginny's hand, and subconsciously wanted to let go of her hand, and reached for the wand in his pocket, but Ginny Pull it back and pat it reassuringly.Then, Ginny asked calmly: "Then may I ask, what is your crime for entering Azkaban?"

Sirius paused for a moment, before speaking dryly after a long time, he spoke with difficulty: "You betrayed the James family and killed thirteen people on a street."

Harry stood up suddenly, drew out his wand and pointed it at Sirius, his voice trembling with anger: "You betrayed our family? Then you still dare to come? Are you sorry that I didn't die at that time, and escaped from Azka now?" Ben just wanted to keep killing me?"

"No, Harry, that's not the case. That crime is not the real case. I escaped this time just to catch the real traitor." Sirius also stood up, anxiously defending himself.

"Harry, calm down first, if he really wants to kill you, he won't tell us so much. Listen to him first, and see what's going on." Ginny stopped. Li, trying to pull him to sit up stiff.

"Okay, then explain why you entered Azkaban for this crime? Why have I never heard of a godfather like you?" Harry said in a cold voice, still looking straight at Sirius.

"This starts with Voldemort chasing and killing you. In order to prevent Voldemort from finding out where your family lives, Professor Dumbledore suggested that we use the Fidelity Charm, which can hide a secret in the soul of a living person, as long as the Keeper If you don’t reveal it, no one will be able to discover this secret from now on. Originally, James wanted me to be the secret keeper, but at the last moment, I persuaded James to replace the secret keeper with another friend of ours——Peter ? Pedro, because I thought Voldemort wouldn't notice the most inconspicuous Peter, and you would be safe. But—”

Sirius suddenly covered his face in pain, and said hoarsely, "I didn't expect that Peter had already joined Voldemort. He betrayed us. He told Voldemort your home address."

Hearing Sirius' words, Harry was already stunned, staring blankly at Sirius who was looking at him in pain and guilt, shaking his head unconsciously, as if he couldn't believe it all.And Ginny sighed slightly: "So, Voldemort broke into Harry's house that night? It's just that he was defeated by the one-year-old Harry for reasons he didn't understand, and then fled in a hurry. What about you?" ?Mr. Black, how could you be considered a traitor and imprisoned in Azkaban?" She tried to guide him to tell the whole story, because she found that the person she was waiting for had obviously arrived, just outside the door up.

Sirius didn't notice it, and when he heard Ginny's question, he just replied mechanically: "I went after Peter, and I wanted to ask him why he betrayed us and went to Voldemort. But he didn't expect that he would blow up a street and kill him." Thirteen Muggles died, took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and blamed all his crimes on me."

"Do you know where that Peter is now?" Ginny asked cautiously, and Harry suddenly raised his head to look at Sirius when he heard Ginny's question.

"Yes, I already know the whereabouts of that traitor. After hiding for more than ten years, I will not let him escape." Sirius' face twisted for a moment, and he said through gritted teeth: "He is at your house, Ginny , in your Weasley family, as a pet mouse, has lived safely until now."

"What? Scabbers?" Ginny made an expression of disbelief, staring at Sirius in astonishment, "Mr. Black, this is impossible, how could it be our family's Scabbers?"

"How is it impossible? That filthy defector survived even as a mouse. Its Animagus transformation was taught to him by James and I. I will never forget his form. Sirius growled excitedly.

"Is everything you said true? Can you swear that you really didn't lie to me?" Harry said suddenly tremblingly. Obviously, this unexpected situation tonight, and the incredible information he heard, made him It was difficult to accept for a while.

"Of course, Harry, listen to me..." Sirius wanted to explain further, but the door of the Burrow was suddenly opened, and at the same time a gentle voice sounded: "Sirris, if everything you said is Really, if you are really wronged, then come with me, I think I need to talk to you in detail." Dumbledore in a purple robe was standing at the door, with a long snow-white beard hanging down to On the chest, blue eyes were staring sharply at Sirius behind the half-moon glasses.

Both Sirius and Harry were obviously very surprised, while Ginny secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She went to pick up Harry today, in addition to attracting Sirius, she also had another purpose, which was to let Dumbledore hear all this.After all, as soon as Harry left the Dursleys' house, Dumbledore would know about it immediately and follow him.So when she noticed that Dumbledore was outside the door just now, she consciously asked Sirius to tell the whole situation by himself, and under such circumstances, she believed that what Sirius said would convince Dumbledore even more.Now, finally, everything is going smoothly according to her hope.

Seeing Dumbledore's eyes, Sirius hesitated for a moment, then stood up: "Okay, Professor Dumbledore, I do have a lot to tell you."

Harry opened his mouth, obviously there are still many things he wants to ask, but Dumbledore just gave him a kind look: "Children, it's getting late, you go to rest first, Sirius and I still have some questions to talk about." Just a moment. If what Sirius said is true, then Harry, you'll get your own godfather back."

Ginny knew some things. Dumbledore obviously thought that the time was not ripe for Harry to know, so she stood up and saluted Dumbledore: "Okay, Principal Dumbledore, then me and Harry Harry is going upstairs first." With that, she pulled Harry out of the living room.

Harry obviously didn't want to leave, and was still looking back frequently, but Ginny pulled him gently: "Harry, don't you still believe in Principal Dumbledore? He will definitely take care of all the problems, So let him talk to Mr. Black for now, and we'll ask him about the rest tomorrow."

Under Ginny's reassurance, Harry bowed his head and thought for a while, finally nodded silently, and walked upstairs with her.
