Looking at Minister Fudge who kept telling riddles, Mrs. Rostamer was also a little helpless. She felt that she might not be able to get anything out of Fudge.
"It is said that the Minister of Magic in Japan is going to be replaced." Fudge suddenly remembered something and started talking enthusiastically, "I can't remember clearly. They don't seem to be called the Minister of Magic. What is their name?"
"
"Shogun?" Professor Flitwick prompted from the side.
"That's right!" Fudge knocked on the table, "The [General] who has been in power for nearly seventy years has stepped down! His replacement seems to be a girl with a magic wand on the hilt."
"What?" The audience around Fudge was a little surprised. Seeing their surprised expressions, Fudge was very proud, "This is the latest news obtained by the Ministry of Magic. It will probably take some time before the handover is completed in Japan.
.”
"Isn't it said that only the strongest wizard in the Japanese magic world can be called [General]? How could a wizard with such powerful magic suddenly appear?"
"You're getting old," Fudge snorted rudely, "If you want to challenge the current general to obtain the title of [General], you need to pass the three tests of [wisdom], [bravery], and [strength] conducted by the three subordinates of the shogunate.
The trial is very difficult, so no one has challenged the old general for a long time. Who knows how much strength he still has? He is not much younger than Dumbledore!"
The topic came up with Dumbledore, and Fudge found that everyone around him had closed their mouths and drank silently. Hagrid, who had been silent just now, snorted dissatisfiedly, and a few drops of wine splashed from his nostrils.
, dripped on the bar table.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Ms. Rosmerta could only appear again to smooth things over, "Speaking of Sirius, you know, among all the people who have taken refuge in the dark forces, Sirius Black is the one I least expected...
…”
Hearing what she said, everyone sighed. Harry under the table even stretched his ears, waiting to hear the news about Sirius.
As several people narrated, explosive news poured into Harry's brain one by one:
Sirius knows his parents and is still their best friend!
He betrayed his parents and caused them to die tragically at the hands of Voldemort. He also killed his father's friend Peter when he was at the end of his rope!!
Sirius is still his godfather!!!
The wine glass in Harry's hand fell to the ground, making a loud sound, but no one paid attention.
"Black behaved quite normally in Azkaban, and the Dementors seemed to have very little influence on him - which is incredible and really worries me... You know, You-Know-Who is a kind of person when isolated and helpless.
The situation, but if he is allowed to find his most loyal servant, he will definitely make a comeback quickly! Fortunately, Black, he is now..." Fudge stopped.
But everyone understood what he meant: Fortunately, Sirius lost his mind and wanted to catch Harry wholeheartedly and avenge his master. Perhaps, catching him in Hogwarts was the best way to deal with it.
Everyone fell silent. Finally, with the sound of glass hitting wood, everyone drank the wine in their glasses.
"Connelly, we should go back to school. I remember you came to deliver the invitation to the World Divination Conference to Professor Trelawney?"
Fudge hummed, and then there were a few creaks of chairs being pushed aside and footsteps, and Fudge and the others left the Three Broomsticks Bar.
Tom and Hermione stuck their heads under the table. Harry's invisibility cloak had slipped off, but he was unaware.
Seeing Harry's devastated look, Tom and Hermione didn't know how to comfort him. They could only give Harry the butterbeer in their hands and watch him drink the beer in the glass in one sip.
After drinking several drinks, Harry stood up staggeringly and walked straight out the door. He seemed to not care about anything, even the invisibility cloak was put on him by Tom.
"Harry -" Tom wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start: things in Harry's family are really not something that can be explained in a short while. Maybe he can only let his elders solve it.
Bar.
"I know, leave me alone." Harry shook his head and ignored Tom. He walked blankly back to Honeydukes' cellar, and then returned to the castle through the tunnels.
There was only one question left in his mind: Why had no one ever mentioned that his parents died because of the betrayal of his best friend?
"Tom——" After returning to the castle, Harry took off his invisibility cloak and walked unsteadily towards Gryffindor Tower. Hermione looked at Harry's back with some worry.
"Should we do something?"
"But what can we do?" Tom asked.
"Then can you tell me why you let Sirius go?"
"Of course, I let him go because he is innocent." Looking at Hermione's eyes, Tom felt as if she thought she was crazy. So Tom sighed and began to tell Hermione about the people in the previous generation.
The stories that happened...
…
The principal's office welcomed two uninvited guests.
"Remus, I'm really surprised that you brought Sirius to see me." Dumbledore sat on the chair behind his desk and looked at Lupin.
Lu Ping only felt that he was seen through by the blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses. But fortunately, he was very magnanimous today and had a clear conscience.
"Yes, Professor, I brought Sirius Black here. I think you should meet him. He brought some interesting words." Lupine calmly pushed Sirius in front of Dumbledore.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Sirius showed an unprecedented shyness.
"Professor Dumbledore, we meet again."
"You have changed so much." Dumbledore said with a smile, as if the person standing in front of him was not a wanted criminal from the Ministry of Magic, but an outstanding graduate who visited his alma mater after graduation.
"Azkaban makes people grow old." Sirius sighed, then laid out the Marauder's Map in front of Dumbledore and activated it.
Looking at the magical map in front of him, Dumbledore blinked mischievously, "It's no coincidence that you were rarely caught by the janitor during your school days - with this map alone, your N.E.W.T. Transfiguration and Magic
My grades in the spell class should be excellent. I wonder if I can have this map here——"
"No!" Sirius and Lupine rejected Dumbledore in unison.
Dumbledore did not continue to pester. All his attention was attracted by a small black dot named "Peter Petrew" on the Marauder's Map.
