"Everyone thought Sirius was talking about you, but the newspaper at that time had reports about the Ron family!"
Harry was stunned when he heard this, and Hermione, who had already stretched her little head over, also frowned.
Many people thought that Sirius Black saw the news about Harry Potter in the newspaper and escaped from Azkaban Prison in order to help the Dark Lord Voldemort seek revenge.
However, there is an obvious loophole in this, that is, everyone knows that Harry Potter survived that year, and it is impossible for Sirius Black to not know this.
Why didn't he escape from prison earlier or later? It was only when he saw the reports about the Weasley family and the photos of the magic hair that he started to go crazy and escaped from Azkaban directly.
William watched the two of them lost in thought, and Dumbledore, who was eavesdropping on the professor's seat, also frowned. A guess in his mind might have the answer.
William continued to speak:
"You have also discovered that something is abnormal! Since Sirius was able to escape immediately after seeing the newspaper, it means that Sirius Black himself has the ability to leave Azkaban."
"Then why did he choose this time to escape? Could it be that Sirius Black has an undying hatred for the Weasley family?"
Harry and Hermione on the side also had doubts, and Harry said with certainty:
"Impossible, Ron has never mentioned such a thing at all, and his father, Mr. Weasley, was more worried about my safety than their own when he mentioned Sirius."
William smiled and nodded and said:
"Yes, I think so too. There should be no hatred between Sirius and the Weasley family. However, I also think that the newspaper and the magic photo were the reasons that prompted Sirius to escape from prison."
"So, I read the newspaper during self-study, and finally saw Ron's pet, Scabbers!"
Harry was slightly startled when he heard this. He suddenly recalled that he seemed to have seen a middle-aged man lying on the ground for a moment when he was looking at Scabbers.
Hermione exclaimed in a low voice:
"Ah! Could it be that Ron's Scabbers is an Animagus!"
After listening to William's analysis, Hermione immediately understood what William meant. The Weasley's rat Scabbers was most likely transformed into a Death Eater, Anibagos.
Harry also knew what an Animagus was and was immediately shocked.
William nodded and continued:
"Yes, after making the guess, I began to analyze why Sirius Black hated an Animagus so much, so I went to inquire and find out what happened when Sirius Black was arrested."
"At that time, Harry, after your parents were killed by a mysterious man, Sirius Black began to madly hunt down their friend Peter Pettigrew."
"I inquired that after the prophecy came out, your family was protected by the Loyalty Curse. Only the secret keeper knew about your family's situation, and only he could enter your family."
Harry heard this and said angrily:
"But the Secret Keeper betrayed my parents and brought the mysterious man into our home, right?"
William looked at Harry's expression and nodded and said:
"Yes, everyone knew that Sirius Black was the Secret Keeper at that time, so everyone thought that Sirius Black had betrayed the Potters, and even went crazy to hunt down their friend Peter Pettigrew."
"At that time, Sirius Black even blew up a street for this, leaving only one finger!"
Harry's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said seriously:
"Finger? Banban is also a mouse missing a toe!"
Harry didn't know what he was feeling at this time.
Harry believed in William's analysis very much. In the past three years, William's analysis was always correct and never missed a beat. And this time it was also well-founded and there was nothing to refute.
William nodded approvingly and said:
"You are right. I suspect that the reason Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban was to hunt down Peter Pettigrew, not you, his godson."
Harry's expression changed after hearing this, and then he said with some doubt:
"Sirius is the secret keeper. Who else but him could bring the mysterious person to my house and kill my parents?"
William shook his head and said:
"Yes, this is what's abnormal. Harry, if you used the Fidelity Charm to protect yourself and chose Ron as your secret keeper, would you publicize it?"
Harry thought for a moment after hearing this, shook his head and said:
"No! Not only is this not conducive to keeping secrets, but it is also too dangerous for Ron in the era when mysterious people are rampant. I don't want Ron to fall into such a dangerous situation to protect me! Moreover, if anything happens
If Ron is caught, I will be in danger too."
William nodded and said:
"That's right, since you won't publicize that Ron is the Secret Keeper, then your father, Mr. James Potter, should not do such a thing.
So since they do this, it seems very suspicious!"
Harry lowered his head and thought about why his father would do this back then. Hermione's eyes lit up and she whispered:
"They are protecting the real Secret Keeper! The Secret Keeper is not Sirius Black, but another friend of theirs, Peter Pettigrew!"
"Peter Pettigrew is the real Secret Keeper. It was he who led the mysterious man to break through the protection of the Fidelity Curse and killed Harry's parents. That's why Sirius Black went after Peter Pettigrew crazily."
"Back then, Peter Pettigrew faked his death and escaped. Black thought he had really avenged the Potters, so he was captured. Now that he knows that Peter Pettigrew is still alive, he escaped from prison and came to Hogwarts."
Harry frowned and said:
"That's not right. Since he was not a Death Eater back then, he was about to be imprisoned in Azkaban. Why didn't he defend himself?"
William sneered disdainfully:
"In defense, in order to maintain its authority as soon as possible after the death of the mysterious man, the Ministry of Magic directly arrested many people and entered Azkaban.
How could they give Sirius Black a chance to defend himself? Catching a well-hidden Death Eater was a great achievement and could build the image of the Ministry of Magic.
Do they still want to say that the Ministry of Magic arrested the wrong person, and that the murderer who blew up a street escaped? Doesn’t this show that the Ministry of Magic is incompetent?"
Harry fell silent immediately after hearing this. He didn't know much about this kind of power politics, but he also understood that at that time, the Ministry of Magic was being rebuilt, and many people were probably eyeing the minister's positions of real power.
If it were revealed at this time that Sirius Black was wrongly arrested, he might be directly criticized by his political opponents and lose his chance of power.
Then William continued to sneer:
"More than that, you must know that the Black family is also one of the very ancient pure-blood nobles, and the wealth of the family is very exciting.
The fall of the mysterious man ushered in not only a peaceful magical world, but also a feast of sharing wealth and interests.
You've also seen the wealth left by your Potter family in Gringotts, right? At that time, I'm afraid how many people were eyeing the wealth of the pure-blood noble Black family!"
