"A horrific murder occurred in Godric's Hollow last night. According to sources, the Dark Lord broke into the Potter's house on the evening of October 31st and brutally murdered two young couples, James and Lily, and is still...
They tried to poison their child who was still an infant, but when they attacked their child Harry Potter, the Dark Lord's death curse failed for unknown reasons. According to the analysis of senior Aurors, the Dark Lord was suspected of being killed by himself.
The boy who was attacked by the Killing Curse and survived the catastrophe has been protected by Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts." The cover of the Daily Prophet clearly described last night's tragedy,
Titles such as 'The Incident at Godric's Hollow', 'The Fall of the Mysterious Man' and 'The Boy-Who-Lived' were written in large fonts.
Anduin couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He didn't expect that the tragedy he had been unwilling to face had happened. But he couldn't figure it out. Wasn't Lily's family protected by Dumbledore? There was also Sirius. Wasn't he responsible for protecting Lily?
Is it a family? How come such a tragedy still happens?
Anduin continued to flip through the Daily Prophet, trying to find the answer. On the second page, Anduin saw news about Sirius, but it was bad news.
The newspaper reported that Sirius used magic to blow up an entire street on a Muggle street and killed Peter Pettigrew and twelve Muggles. He was captured by the thugs who arrived at the scene.
The reason he did this was because Sirius betrayed the Potters and directly caused the Godric's Hollow incident.
"This is impossible!" Anduin looked at the report in the newspaper with eyes wide open. He was stunned for a moment. Vivian beside him was also startled by his loud roar.
After confirming the news of the Dark Lord's downfall, the surrounding young wizards all celebrated excitedly. Some threw their wizard hats, some fired fireworks into the sky above the auditorium, and some even jumped on
Everyone at the table shouted loudly, including many Slytherin students around Anduin. Only the little pure-blood wizards stared at the newspapers with expressions of disbelief.
At this time, Anduin's face had long lost the excitement and joy of last night, and his expression was full of doubt, panic and anger!
Suddenly, Anduin stood up from his seat, grabbed the newspaper and ran out of the auditorium. Vivian watched him leave in a hurry without knowing why.
‘Bang bang bang’, outside Professor McGonagall’s office, Anduin knocked desperately on the door. Professor McGonagall is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he should know what happened.
But Anduin waited for a long time, but there was no movement inside. It seemed that Professor McGonagall was not there, so Anduin turned around and rushed to Professor Bones' office.
Professor Bones opened the door to his office and saw Anduin breathing heavily and clutching a newspaper in his hand. He immediately understood what happened. You know, even he was shocked by what happened last night.
.
"Is what this says true, Professor?" Anduin stared at Professor Bones and unfolded the Daily Prophet in his hand.
"Yes, Dumbledore knew all this last night. He and Professor McGonagall have now left Hogwarts. He arranged for me to stay in Hogwarts to take care of the students." Professor Bones said solemnly.
.
Then Anduin opened another page of the newspaper and said, "Is this true? Sirius...really betrayed the Potters?"
"Hey!" Professor Bones sighed, "I know you have a good relationship with Sirius, but unfortunately, according to the information we have learned so far, Sirius does..."
"This is impossible!" Anduin yelled at the top of his lungs. "I know him, and I also know the relationship between him and the Potters. There must be something wrong!"
"Calm down first, Anduin." Professor Bones pulled Anduin into the room and asked him to sit down. "Facts speak louder than words. I don't want to believe that such a thing will happen, but..."
"Is there any evidence? Even if he killed Peter Pettigrew, there might be something hidden in it?" Anduin still couldn't accept this fact. He always thought that his friend Lily, who was already safe, could not escape her fate, and his
Another friend was one of the accomplices.
"Hey, it's time for me to tell you the truth now." Bones thought for a moment. "I know you once suggested Dumbledore to protect Lily's family, but you know what methods they used to protect it."
Are they from Lily’s family?”
Anduin frowned and looked at Professor Bones in confusion.
"Lily's family has actually never left their original residence, but the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters have been unable to find them. Do you know why?" Bones reminded Anduin.
"I haven't left, but I can't find it, you mean?" Anduin thought about it for a while, and then what did he think of, "The Loyalty Curse? So that's why my memory of their home address suddenly disappeared?"
Bones nodded. He knew that Anduin had accumulated a lot of knowledge, so he was sure of everything. "So you know why we are so sure."
"You mean, Sirius is Lily and James' secret keeper?" Anduin asked.
"Yeah, didn't you notice that Sirius disappeared after hiding the Potters?" Bones reminded. "At first we thought he was hiding himself from the Death Eaters, but the truth may be
it's not true."
"Is it possible that the Death Eaters found and captured him, and after being tortured, he told Lily's address?" Anduin really couldn't accept such a result.
"If that's the case, how could he have the energy to attack Peter?" Bones said seriously, "And you may not know enough about the Loyalty Curse. Unless the secret keeper takes the initiative to leak the secret, it will be considered a Soul-Imperius Curse."
Or Veritaserum can't pry his mouth open."
"That's the truth, that's the truth..." Anduin's eyes were blank, and he looked blankly at the newspaper in front of him. Although he couldn't believe it, Professor Bones ruthlessly shattered his illusions.
"Hey." Professor Bones knew that Anduin had a deep friendship with the Potter family and Sirius, and now he didn't know how to comfort him.
Anduin didn't know how he returned to the Forbidden Forest Lodge. He was still shocked by the news he had just received. He didn't remember much about the development of the plot. He didn't know whether everything that happened today was related to the original plot.
Same as in.
But when he really got deep into it, he realized that he couldn't look at these living people indifferently from a third party's perspective. Lily, who had always been kind, gentle, and helpful to him, was free and uninhibited and loved to show off.
