Chapter 60 Tell me about what happened that year

 "That was a tragedy caused by a prophecy."

Dumbledore slowly told what happened that year.

It is said that back then, Voldemort heard that there was a prophesied child who could kill him, and there were two people with the same conditions, so he decided to kill these two children first.

One of these two children is Lily's son Harry Potter. The family hid them in hiding at that time. In theory, as long as the Secret Keeper does not surrender to the enemy, everything will be fine.

But... everything in the world is afraid of this "but"... The Potter family overturned the secret keeper, he surrendered to the enemy, and the family was exposed.

So Voldemort first went to the Potter's house, and then to the Longbottom house, but no one expected that he would also overturn at the Potter's house.

Dumbledore said in a deeper voice: "Lily and James's friend, Peter, is usually a very inconspicuous, seemingly stupid kid. When he heard about this, he immediately went to find out who had betrayed the Potter family.

Secret Keeper Black takes revenge."

"Peter, poor kid, he was no match for Blake. He was brutally murdered on the spot. Only one finger could be found at the scene."

"Later, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived, arrested Black, and sent him to Azkaban, where he was guarded by dementors and was in pain every day."

After hearing what happened that year, the two Smiths sighed. Lupine was very sad, and tears almost flowed out of his eyes.

Penny has been listening quietly, her cold expression not changing at all.

When Dumbledore finished speaking, Petunia asked him: "Can you take me to see Black?"

Dumbledore was frightened and said hurriedly: "No, Petunia. Dementors are not wizards, or even living creatures. In your understanding, they are very scary evil spirits."

"They can suck people's happiness and suck away their souls. Even being close to them will cause despair and recall the most tragic things."

"It's just a deal for them to obey the Ministry of Magic. You will be harmed by them if you go."

Penny didn't say anything after hearing this, she just sat there quietly.

Jack asked her: "Mrs. Dursley, do you want to go home and have a rest?"

Petunia shook her head slightly and said to Dumbledore: "I want to know more about Peter and Black."

Lupine, who was drinking tea at this time, felt a Quaffle hit his arms.

Dumbledore said to Petunia: "I recommend Lupine to help Jack and Charles deal with some things. If he is qualified, he will come to Jack often. When he was at Hogwarts, he was good friends with Peter and Black."

Charles thought that this was indeed the case, and Dumbledore arranged for Lupine to come to the Centaur Liaison Office to collect his salary.

Before Lupine could say anything, Jack said: "That's just right. What Charles wants to do requires someone to be responsible for purchasing supplies from ordinary people. I wanted to recommend Mrs. Dursley to Charles, but I didn't have time to say it."<

"Mrs. Dursley is familiar with the affairs on our side, and because of Lily's affairs, she also knows the affairs on the wizarding side. It is appropriate for her to be responsible for this aspect."

The corner of Charles' mouth twitched, but he soon felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement. Petunia was a wizard's family and did not need to worry about the "Secrecy Act." It was more convenient for her to purchase supplies than for wizards, and she was also a housewife, so she had more time.

Dumbledore and Lupine were dumbfounded. Is there anything crazier than a Muggle becoming an employee of the Ministry of Magic?

Charles glanced at Petunia and found that she was very calm. He thought that she must have reached an agreement with the old man, and out of the mentality of not taking it too seriously when watching a play, he said: "I think this is no problem. Professor Dumbledore, isn't there still one in the UK?"

Some wizards did not go to Hogwarts but studied at home. We can just forge such an identity for Mrs. Dursley and report it to the Ministry of Magic."

It was only after he arrived at Hogwarts that he heard that there were many "wild" wizards outside the school. For various reasons, the families of these wizards did not send their children to Hogwarts but instead trained them themselves. Hogwarts

The last sentence of Watts' admission notice, "We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before July 31st," is meant for them. If you don't reply by then, you will be studying at home.

The level of these wizards varies from good to bad. Because they have not gone through systematic learning, their overall level is very low, and the excellent ones are also very partial.

Anyway, as long as Petunia doesn't enter the Ministry of Magic, this kind of thing will not be discovered.

Dumbledore is in a bit of a dilemma, doing this is equivalent to deceiving the Ministry of Magic.

It's not that he can't do it, but the relationship between him and the Ministry of Magic is subtle. Someone in the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic thinks that he is a potential rebel. He eats and sleeps every day, planning to overthrow the Ministry of Magic.

If this matter is finally exposed, an earthquake will be inevitable.

When Charles saw that Dumbledore was silent for a long time, he said: "If it doesn't work, forget it, but Mrs. Dursley is still responsible for the matters here. She is not registered in the Centaur Liaison Office. Mr. Lupin receives two salaries.

Just give her her share in private."

Dumbledore stopped talking now.

Lu Ping looked at Charles in surprise with a hint of joy, thinking that he was here for an interview today. It seems that the matter has not yet gotten to the point, and the matter has been decided?

But I still have a question that I have to take the initiative to ask.

"Charles," Lupine said very solemnly, "I am very grateful for your trust in me, but there is one thing I must make clear first. I am a werewolf."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Charles and Jack nervously, fearing that they would kick him out immediately.

It turned out that Jack was just curious, while Penny was startled, but restrained herself from making much of a reaction.

Charles scratched his head and finally said: "Okay, I will arrange a rest time."

Then he said to Petunia: "Mrs. Dursley, please don't worry. As long as it's not a full moon night, werewolves are just like ordinary people. I will arrange the time."

Petunia's hand holding the tea cup was trembling a little. She drank half a cup of tea to calm herself down before saying: "Okay... okay... I believe you... and Lily."

In her opinion, since her sister is willing to be friends with this werewolf, it means that he is reliable.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Charles told Petunia and Lupine that we would discuss work matters after Christmas. The specific salary would have to wait until the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic completed the process.

The two Mr. Dursleys opposite were both at home, and Petunia had to go home to cook, so she left soon.

Dumbledore also said goodbye. He was going to visit some old friends.

Charles stayed for lunch, chatted about Hogwarts for a while, and complained about Snape for a long time. Lupine also left after dinner.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Charles sat on the small sofa in the study room, holding the package box of Visual Basic 1.0 in his hand and looking at it carefully. At the same time, he asked the old man: "What is going on with Mrs. Dursley?"

Jack answered while playing "Duke Nukem": "She knows I'm a wizard."

"Ah?!" Charles was stunned, "What's going on?"

Jack replied: "A drunk driver almost hit a child that day. The situation was urgent and I didn't have time to think about it."

"She saw it and came to me later, promising to keep it secret."

"She has a deep obsession with her sister's death and hopes that I can help her investigate this matter clearly."

Charles nodded. Although the old man could play Avada's Kedavra to great effect, he was actually a very kind person, otherwise he wouldn't have picked him out of the trash can and raised him.

"I think there is something wrong with her." Charles frowned and said, "She and I have been corresponding, and she is asking me about Hogwarts."

Jack said calmly: "Everyone has their own secrets, and we can trust her."

"Don't underestimate a person's obsession with revenge against his loved ones. It is a terrible power."

"Believe it or not, the first person to discover that there is something suspicious about the death of Potter's parents must be Petunia. Then there will be a good show."

Charles frowned, thinking that this world was very different from the one in his "memory". As events develop, deviations and unexpected things may occur.

He didn't expect that what happened the next day was completely beyond his expectation.
