[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

"What are you doing?" Lynn asked in horror when he saw the Auror uniforms on these people.

The leading Auror took a step forward and said, "Are you Lynn Bruce? Your fiancé is a Death Eater spy who went deep into the Auror Department. We are going to arrest him now."

"Why do you say that I/he is a spy?" Sirius and Lynn said in unison.

"Based on Andrew Selwyn's statement, and what you've done these days." The Auror's voice was stylized and cold.

It's Selwyn again!It's that damned Selwyn again!Sirius thought angrily.

The Auror wanted to take Sirius away, but Sirius refused. While pushing and shoving, a strong and forceful voice came: "Rookwood, where are you taking him?"

Lynn and Sirius looked up, and it turned out to be Moody!

"Naturally Azkaban." Said the leading Auror, the wizard whom Moody called Rookwood.

"Without definite evidence, you can't just send people to Azkaban!" Moody said.

"Why is there no evidence, Selwyn..."

"Selwyn is a Death Eater, how do you know he's not deliberately sowing discord!" Moody interrupted Luke Wood.

"Anyway, this is an order from Director Crouch. If you have any objections, you can go to the director."

"Press me with Crouch? Well, I'm going to meet him. I'm still your boss anyway, you guys, stay here now, and wait until I see Crouch and come back."

"I'm afraid this won't work. Director Crouch's order is to arrest Black immediately and send him to Azkaban!"

"Rookwood, don't you make me rough you!" Moody snarled.

"Why don't you take Sirius to meet your chief now? You can also ask your chief to interrogate him in person." Lynn interrupted suddenly.She felt that there might be a turning point in the Ministry of Magic, anyway, she couldn't let them take Sirius to Azkaban.

"Good idea!" snorted Moody. "I agree, and you, Rookwood."

Rookwood hesitated, he knew that, seeing Moody's attitude, he would never want to easily take Black to Azkaban today.The order given to him over there was to divide the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic as much as possible. In fact, it would be better if Moody took Blake to the Ministry of Magic to make a fuss...

So he agreed.

Half an hour later, the office of the Director of the Department of Magical Enforcement.Those present were Barty Crouch Sr., Moody, Edgar Burns, Rook Wood, and Sirius and Lynn.Sirius was still bound and petrified.

"Crouch, what on earth are you thinking? First you want to promulgate the decree that 'Aurors can use the Three Unforgivable Curses', and now you want to imprison people in Azkaban without definite evidence. Are you a magician?" The Chief of the Department or the head of the Death Eaters?!" Moody said.

"Alastor, what are you talking about?! Mr. Crouch is your boss after all." Burns reprimanded seriously.

"When I speak, I am right about the matter and not about the person! What he did is not in line with the status of the director, so why don't people say it?" Moody snorted.

"Look at him! You still don't believe me when I said he often contradicted his boss for no reason, but now you know it?" Crouch said to Burns with a straight face.

Burns sighed: "Alastor's attitude is wrong, but Barty, you really went too far this time. Let's not talk about the Unforgivable Curses. Regarding Black, we really don't have conclusive evidence that he A spy sent by the Death Eaters."

"Selwyn has admitted it himself, isn't that conclusive evidence?"

"What if Selwyn is trying to drive a wedge?" Moody interjected.

"Moody, are you deliberately trying to play against me? Didn't you tell your subordinates a few days ago that you also suspect Black? Now I want to arrest Black, but you keep stopping it." Crouch's tone gradually became agitated.

"I doubt Black, and I still doubt him. But that's just suspicion, not conviction! Conviction needs definite evidence! I also advocate temporarily prohibiting him from contacting the deployment of classified operations, but this does not mean that I agree to put him Locked up in Azkaban! Where is Azkaban? If this is really a conspiracy by the Death Eaters, wouldn’t it be quick for you to do this?!”

"Who is close to him? Forbid him to contact the deployment of classified operations? Can you prohibit it? As long as he is still outside for a day, you can't control him from tipping off!" Crouch has completely given up on being a gentleman and talking to Moody. There was a quarrel.

"Okay, okay, we are all for the end of the war as soon as possible, don't fight your own people." Burns was acting as a peacemaker.

"Who knows if they are our own? Edgar, since you talked about letting the war end as soon as possible, okay, then let me ask you, why are you still unwilling to sign the bill that allows Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curse?" If you haven’t signed yet, you’re the only one left. Since you’re speaking for Black, well, as long as you sign, I won’t arrest Black and send him to Azkaban.”

Hearing this sentence, Lynn's heart twitched.

Burns was silent for a long time before saying: "Barty, I know why you want that bill passed, but have you ever thought about the possible consequences of passing that bill? You gave them the right to kill, not just Arrest, what should I do if someone abuses his power? Also, what is the Unforgivable Curse? It is a spell that can be used only on unforgivable people! What if some people are Death Eaters who were controlled by the Imperius Curse? Damn them too? It’s not that I disagree with that bill, I just think that the rules about when it’s available and when it’s not available should be improved. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Black’s matter!”

"If it were me, I would rather be killed by my own son than be controlled by the Imperius Curse to do evil things!" Crouch roared out.

This is really a serious declaration, and no one answered for a while.

The office was silent for a while, and Lynn suddenly said, "Sirius doesn't have the Dark Mark."

"So what? Maybe the mysterious man deliberately didn't mark him with the Dark Mark for the convenience of his espionage," Crouch said.

The situation is so stalemate.

"I can vouch for Sirius, he will definitely not be a spy!" A familiar voice suddenly came, and Lynn was overjoyed that it was James!

"Mr. Director, I was involved in the battle to capture Selwyn. The group of Death Eaters came for me and my wife. I thought, if Sirius really almost killed me and my wife My wife, I have no reason to cover him. At that time, I heard very clearly that Selwyn said: "Blake, what are you crazy?! Didn't you tell Regulus the arrangement of the Potter's house today, and you want us to come and raid?" ?'. But at that time, Regulus, Sirius’ younger brother, had died many months ago, and it was only a few days ago that I decided to send my wife to the maternity check-up. Can't it prove that Selwyn is lying? Besides, if Sirius is really a spy, wouldn't it be self-defeating for Selwyn to identify him in public?"

Old Crouch's veins bulged, and his voice became vicious: "How do you know that it wasn't because of their Death Eaters' internal strife? Anyway, today, I have caught Blake. If any of you dare to object, I will Fire him from the Ministry of Magic now! Rookwood, send Black to Azkaban immediately!"

Rookwood immediately pulled Sirius away, and Lynn screamed "No!".

Lynn and James still wanted to stop them. At this time, Edgar came over and stopped them, whispering: "Go back to Dumbledore and find a way. If you make trouble here, things will get even worse."

So Lynn had to watch Rookwood take Sirius away.

Never had she hated Crouch so much for a moment.Because this person is Barty Jr.'s father, because this person once caught the murderer who killed Andy, because this person always said clearly that he was going to be an enemy of Voldemort, and she used to admire him so much.But now, she just wanted to rush up and slap him twice to wake him up.

Lin En and his party returned to the Order of the Phoenix, half of the members of the Order of the Phoenix came here after hearing the news.But Headmaster Dumbledore was not there.

"Where did the principal go?" Lynn asked anxiously.

"He said he was going out to meet a very important person," Dorcas said.

"What is more important than Sirius being imprisoned in Azkaban, the principal is also true." James, who had always respected the principal, complained for the first time.

Without Dumbledore, everyone lost their backbone.In the past, Dorcas could make decisions for Dumbledore many times in the past, but this matter is not something that Dorcas has the ability to solve.

Everyone sat in the meeting room anxiously waiting for the principal, and while waiting, they even helped out with ideas.De Dalo even suggested that everyone jointly sign a letter asking Crouch to release him.

It was Dedalus who was the first to doubt Sirius.

Seeing Lynn's stunned expression, Dedalus felt a little uncomfortable. He poked his neck and said, "I doubt him, and I suspect you too. But as Alastor said, we have no evidence. Since there is no evidence, we Crouch shouldn't be allowed to arrest people. If there is evidence that you are not traitors, I will apologize to you, but if you let me know that you are traitors, I will be the first to let you go. It's just that Sirius is the Order of the Phoenix Why do you let Crouch dictate?"

Lin En smiled, and his cold body gradually warmed up.Dedalus turned his head uncomfortably.

The principal hurried back at 8 o'clock that night.

Moody told Dumbledore what had happened, and Dumbledore put his hands on the table to form a triangle, thinking.

"Principal, please give me an idea. When I think of Sirius staying in that Azkaban full of dementors, I feel shuddering." James said what Lynn was thinking.

Principal Dumbledore looked at everyone, and finally said: "I will go to the Minister of Magic tomorrow and ask him to come forward to resolve this matter. Everyone go back first. James, you stay here, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that the headmaster had spoken, everyone had nothing to say.Lynn saw the serious expression on the headmaster's face when he took James away, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The next day, Dumbledore took James to the Ministry of Magic, and when he came back, he told everyone that Harold Minchem, the Minister of Magic, had agreed to release Sirius from Azkaban.He would speak to Mr. Crouch himself.

Lynn originally thought that Sirius would be released from prison immediately, but who knew that after Minister Minchum and Crouch expressed their opinions, Crouch didn't even give the minister any face.He publicly launched a speech, attacking Minister Minchem for not being tough enough on Voldemort, and using the example of Sirius to accuse Minchem of not distinguishing right from wrong.This speech caused an uproar, and many people who were dissatisfied with the delay in the end of the war were incited by Crouch to demand that Minister Minchum step down.The reporter surnamed Skeeter also contributed to the flames, digging up Sirius' dark history from childhood to adulthood, which made the public even more question whether the decision of the current Minister of Magic is sober.

"He just wants to be the Minister of Magic, but he is talking about Sirius! Sirius is the victim of his confrontation with Minister Minchem!" James and Moody were very angry about this.

As for Lynn, she wasn't even in the mood to be angry.Thinking of Sirius being surrounded by dementors until now, she wanted to rush to Azkaban and hug him tightly.

Ten days after Sirius was taken away, Lynn finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she begged Edgar to take her to Azkaban to visit the prison.

As soon as he walked into Azkaban, Lynn wanted to cry.The dementor sucked her happiness, and she began to think about some desperate things over and over again in her mind: remembering how her grandfather drove her out of the house in her previous life, and the three days when she was struggling in the swamp; remembering how she was almost burned in the end death, and Fiona's sister's blood; remembering the way my parents died in this world, remembering the death of James' cousin Harry's family, remembering the death of Mary and Anthony, and remembering the long three days and three nights in the hospital before. Waiting, thinking of the current Sirius, how in this eerie place, he couldn't help but scream every day.If Edgar hadn't supported her, she would have been unable to stand still.

Finally, she came before Sirius.

Sirius was emaciated.The silky hair is now a mess, the eyes are sunken, the lips are cracked, and the face is pale.He raised his head, looked at Lin En with a dull look, and it took him a long time to react, let out a loud roar, and rushed towards Lin En.

"Lyn, why are you here? No, they can't lock you in too! They don't have evidence, how can they... this is not a place for people..."

Seeing Sirius' incoherent speech, the tears that had been rolling in Lynn's eyes for a long time finally fell down, she hurriedly said: "They didn't want to lock me up, I came to visit the prison."

Sirius' incoherent speech stopped, and then he asked: "They, have they convicted me?"

"No, there is no trial yet, how can they convict you?" Lynn said, telling Sirius what happened in the past few days.

Sirius was silent for a while, and then he asked: "That is to say, unless Crouch steps down, I can't get out of this ghost place?"

"That's not necessarily true," Edgar said. "Even if Minister Minchum steps down, Crouch is not the only one who has the chance to become the new minister. Millicent Bagnor is also very popular recently. I asked Millicent's claim on this matter, she said that the best solution to this matter is to have an interrogation of you as soon as possible. Do you dare to participate in the interrogation?"

"Why not?" Sirius asked back.

"Okay then, get ready. I will try my best to let you go to trial as soon as possible. But the outcome of the trial is not up to me to decide."

Lynn and Sirius spoke for another minute, and it was time for the prison visit.Edgar takes Lynn out of Azkaban.

Sirius' trial was set for three days, and Dorcas offered to defend Sirius.Before the trial, Lynn, James, and Dorcas repeatedly studied the arguments of Crouch and Rita who questioned Sirius, and only then did they feel confident.

This time the trial was closed, and Lynn was not an employee of the Ministry of Magic, so he was not allowed to participate.After waiting all morning in the reception area of ​​the Ministry of Magic, she finally saw James and Dorcas walking over with ease.

"we won?"

"Not necessarily, but it's more or less the same. You haven't seen how handsome Miss Dorcas is today, and Crouch was so debated by him that he couldn't speak at the end." James smiled and revealed His trademark white teeth.

"Dorcas, I don't know how to thank you," murmured Lynn.

"It's nothing, Sirius is your fiancé and our friend. How can I watch him being wronged. Besides, the final result is not yet reached. When Sirius is released, you can thank me together Not too late." Dorcas smiled brightly.

"Dorcas, how did you acquire such debating skills?" James asked curiously.

"After graduating from Hogwarts, my mother became a lawyer in the Muggle world. Later, she married my father, who was an Auror, so she also took the Auror exam. But since childhood, she He taught me a lot of debating skills." Dorcas replied with a smile, his eyes full of warmth and memories.

The next afternoon, Sirius was found not guilty, but he was still imprisoned in the temporary prison of the Ministry of Magic for half a month because of the objections of all parties, until Crouch couldn't find conclusive evidence, and he ordered his release.

A month later, Millicent Bagnor succeeded Harold Minchem as the new Minister for Magic.

The author has something to say: As for what was mentioned in the comments in the last chapter, "Moody and the others probably don't know Lynn's real life experience, so because of the college's relationship, they suspect that a Muggle-born whose parents died at the hands of Death Eaters Witches are not logical", I thought about it, and it seems that this is indeed the case.So I just slightly changed the middle part of the last chapter, you can go back and have a look to see if it is more reasonable.

In addition,

【"Where did the principal go?" Lynn asked anxiously.

"He said he was going out to meet a very important person," Dorcas said. 】

Can you think of who this person is?
