The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 311

The reason why Dumbledore brought Ada with him today was just to increase her experience and give her a clearer understanding of the Ministry of Magic.Although seeing is not necessarily true, seeing with your own eyes is better than hearsay.

Of course, Dumbledore did all this not to make Ada prejudice against the Ministry of Magic, but to tell Ada how unreliable the Ministry of Magic is as an organization.

When the darkness falls again, the Ministry of Magic cannot lead everyone to fight against the darkness.

As long as Ada calms down and thinks about these things carefully, she will get the answer and know Dumbledore's purpose.Can Ada calm down now?
The answer is no, because Ada grasped the main point of the principal's words.When he mentioned Blake, he didn't use words like "catch" or "arrest" but "find".

This is very interesting, Ada doesn't think it's Dumbledore's compassion, it's because Sirius Black was once his student, so the words are more euphemistic.

Although Dumbledore is indeed very compassionate in many cases, there is no room for sand in his eyes.

"Professor, what kind of man is Sirius Black?" Ada asked.In order to beg the principal, she also pushed the plate with snacks in front of Dumbledore, which was very kind.

Dumbledore withdrew his gaze, and he tapped his salivating student with his hand.

Still, he answered Ada's question.He said: "In my impression, Sirius Black is a brave, witty and energetic Gryffindor."

The Black family is an extreme pure-blood wizard. Even Andromeda, who later married a Muggle, was assigned to Slytherin when she entered school. Only Sirius was assigned to Gryffindor.

This destined Sirius to be a different Black.He didn't feel that he was an outlier because he was assigned to Gryffindor, but felt that the family's long-standing concept was wrong.

Sirius began to rebel against his family, but his approach was naive.Sirius would fly the Gryffindor flag around his home and plaster his bedroom with posters of Muggle girls in bikinis.

Compared with Sirius, Henry Rozier is simply weak, nothing.Things didn't go so well for Sirius though, he left his family before he even came of age and graduated from Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Sirius Black still has friends. He met James Potter, Remus Lupine, and Peter Pedillo at school.

The kind-hearted Potter couple took in the homeless Sirius and treated him as their second son.It wasn't until after graduation that Sirius Black moved out of the Potter's house, and he joined the Order of the Phoenix with his good friends.

From Dumbledore's description, the image of Sirius Black in Ada's heart gradually became fuller.He is a handsome, affectionate, and rebellious Gryffindor, and he is no longer the crazy lunatic in the wanted photo.

Ada felt that the relationship between Black and James Potter was like that between herself and her twins, and the relationship between Black and James' parents was like that between herself and the Weasleys.

Ask yourself, if she were in Black's shoes, would she choose to betray James and Lily?

Won't!It wasn't babbling, or upper lip touching lower lip, which Ida was sure she wouldn't do.Some feelings are more important than life.

But Sirius Black did just that. He betrayed his best friend, his brother.

"During those darkest years, I saw the dawn, and I got a crucial prophecy." Dumbledore said, "The person who made this prophecy, Ida, you just know .”

"Sybil Trelawney?" Ada said the name without thinking.

She knew only one man who did prophecy.Trelawney's prophecy can be linked to the most important, and it is not known whether Dumbledore is crazy or he is crazy.

"Don't make a fuss, you have to learn to find the bright spot in anyone." Dumbledore first educated Ada, and then continued, "Sybil predicted Voldemort's defeat, predicted that he would defeat Voldemort's people - Harry, Harry Potter."

Was it a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, or was Trelawney hiding something?Ada quickly drank a big mouthful of hot water to calm herself down.Dumbledore also picked up the cup, but instead of drinking or continuing to speak, he fell silent.

After a while, Dumbledore spoke again, saying, "Unfortunately, this prophecy was accidentally leaked, and it was overheard by a Death Eater."

Being known by the Death Eaters means that Voldemort knows.And from Dumbledore's use of the word "unfortunate" to describe it, it can also be seen that the headmaster failed to prevent the Death Eaters from reporting.

"In order to protect James and Lily, and the newborn Harry, many people gave their precious lives during that time." Dumbledore continued, "Later, James and Lily hid in Godric's Hollow, The house they live in is also protected by the Fidelity Charm."

The Fidelity Curse, this is an extremely complicated spell.Use magic to keep someone's secret forever in the soul of a living person.The secret is hidden in the heart of the chosen one - the Secret Keeper.

This secret will never be discovered unless the keeper reveals it on his own initiative.Sirius Black is the secret room chosen by James and Lily, and Sirius is their most trusted person.

But the most trusted person betrayed them and gave their secrets and lives to Voldemort.

This is not the first time Ada has heard of this heart-wrenching incident, but Dumbledore's version has something different and more details.

On the night of the attack, Black had been to Godric's Hollow and had met Hagrid, and that's where the whole suspicion started.

Is Black going to congratulate his master, or to confirm his friend's safety?Black wants to take away the infant Harry, is it to avenge his master, or to raise his godson?After being rejected, Black not only did not choose to fight with Hagrid, but instead gave Hagrid his flying motorcycle. What is the reason for this?
After that night, Blake was lost.When the Ministry of Magic found him again, he had already killed another friend of his, Peter Pedillo.

Strangely enough, instead of resisting his captors, Black laughed wildly.It doesn't look like a Death Eater to catch him without a fight, even though Voldemort has lost his power at that time!

See how Bellatrix Lestrange, Black's cousin, captured the Longbottoms and drove them insane with the Cruciatus Curse.

This was the correct way for the Death Eaters to open it up, and what Sirius Black did was too embarrassing for the Death Eaters, not at all like the man who just blew up a street with a spell.

There are too many mysteries, let alone Ada, even Dumbledore is at a loss.

Is the truth behind these mysteries really what the Ministry of Magic says it is, and what people think it is?
But if that wasn't the truth, and Sirius Black was wronged, why didn't he say a word?It can't be because he likes Azkaban and dementors, so his hobby is really special.

"Professor, is Black really the secret keeper of the Potters?" Ada asked the doubts in her heart, and she hoped that the wise headmaster could give herself an answer.

Dumbledore nodded, then shook his head, and the ambiguous answer made Ada even more confused.

"It should be, James has no more choices." Dumbledore said uncertainly, "Peter Pedillo is not a good choice. He is not as good as his friends, and he is not as brave. He To get revenge on Sirius Black is something I never thought of."

Ada didn't know much about Peter Pedilou, but she knew about Remus Lupine, and she was a little suspicious of the professor.

So Ada asked again: "Then why not choose Professor Lupine?"
