Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 285 This is the first time I've heard someone dare to compare wealth with my family

"Ahaha, it's you, Sirius Black." Lin You looked at the "Big Foot" who had returned to human form, and at the same time did not forget to restore the hole in the wall to its original state. "Three months have passed, and you still look like the photo on the wanted poster. There is no change at all."

Blake in the swamp had a sallow complexion, sunken eye sockets, and dirty long hair that was tangled in knots, covering his equally deep-set cheeks; making him look as if his entire face was shrouded in shadow.

"Who are you?" Blake stared at the "dwarf" in front of him with a fierce look like a vicious dog. Until this time, Lin You did not take off his hood, so the "Predator" duo did not realize that it was a child in front of them.

"Me? I am a victim whose business was damaged by your escape, so I have every reason to hunt you down." Lin You slowly labeled himself as "reasonable and logical", "But I didn't expect that Sirius Black actually had an accomplice to cover for him; no wonder people couldn't find you, and you managed to find your way to Hogsmeade."

"He's not my accomplice." Black's rough voice seemed to be deliberately provoking someone, "He's a bounty hunter who wants to catch me, but he's not good enough!"

"Oh, really?" Lin You smiled; although the expression on his face could not be seen, one could tell from his tone that he was asking the other person: Do you think I believe these nonsense?

"Of course it's true." Blake responded with a "believe it or not" sneer, and pretended to turn his head to mock his friend; "My friend, it seems that you will not get the bounty; you are not good enough to catch me. You might as well go back and learn how to be a bounty hunter."

Remus Lupin had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, but you could tell he was angry and dissatisfied. He is indeed a good actor, and they have a good chemistry.

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. My only responsibility is to hand you over to the Ministry of Magic." Lin You said as he pointed his wand. A long silver snake flew out from the tip of the wand and floated around the house.

Seeing the Patronus appear, Lupin's eyes flashed quickly, and before Lin You could speak, he asked: "Are you going to notify the Aurors?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Lin You asked back impatiently.

"Please wait a moment." Lupin interrupted again, "Before notifying the Ministry of Magic, can you notify Headmaster Dumbledore of Hogwarts first?"

"Why?" Lin You pretended to be puzzled, and his face became more and more impatient, but in fact he almost burst into laughter; because after a few words, things were successfully led in the direction he wanted - letting Dumbledore intervene in advance.

It’s not even Christmas yet! If Dumbledore had found Black and learned the truth before the end of the first semester, how would the story of this year return to the fixed track? From now on, we can only rush towards the "unknown" direction.

Lupin explained calmly: "Because I have dealt with the Ministry of Magic before, I don't trust them; I am very worried that they will label me as an accomplice of the fugitive as soon as we meet, but in fact, I was hired by Professor Dumbledore to stay in Hogsmeade, search for Black and protect the school. I only trust Professor Dumbledore, and there should be no one in the wizarding world who doesn't trust him, right?"

These words are well-reasoned and well-founded, nine-tenths true and one-tenth false, and can be said to have grasped the essence of lies and deception. If an uninformed person heard them, he would at least be skeptical, if not 100% convinced.

"As expected of the former Marauders, Mr. Moonface?" Lin You smiled and burst his illusion. "Such tacit cooperation and such skillful lying skills, are they all the experience you accumulated from fighting wits and courage with the professors at Hogwarts?"

When the name "Moon Face" came out, the two people in the swamp were struck by lightning, their faces turned pale instantly; their hearts seemed to sink to the bottom of the swamp.

Lupin was still the first to come to his senses. He shouted, "Go find Professor Dumbledore, he can prove what I said; please, at least send a message to Dumbledore, at least let Dumbledore know I'm here before the Dementors arrive." Remus Lupin's seemingly panicked voice was actually the best solution to the current situation; he did not waste his breath explaining Sirius's injustice, nor did he explain the reason why he was hanging out with Sirius, but insisted that he wanted to find Dumbledore.

As mentioned before, most people in the wizarding world trust Dumbledore; calling anyone else's name at this time would not work, as it would likely be considered as a deliberate attempt to delay time. Only Dumbledore's name would have a chance of gaining the other party's trust.

In addition, Lupin and Black only had the opportunity to speak when Dumbledore was present; many times, even if it was the truth, it had to be said by the right person to be regarded as the truth.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, Mr. Moon Face." Lin You "comforted" him, "You should learn from Mr. Big Foot, who behaves very calmly."

Remus turned around and saw, damn "calm"! Bigfoot was obviously devastated by the blow and was worried about losing the chance to avenge Wormtail. If he guessed correctly, this old guy would definitely lose control of his emotions and go crazy or mad.

But before Sirius could get emotional, he heard the "dwarf" in a heavy cloak speaking to the Patronus: "Dumbledore, I have captured Sirius Black here at the Shrieking Shack, along with a gentleman who claims to be employed by you, and who is desperate to see you; whether you come alone or with an Auror is up to you, but please do it as soon as possible."

Then he waved his wand and the snake flew away through the gap.

Suddenly, there was a dramatic turn of events. Lupin and Black could hardly believe their ears, or their own good luck; the ups and downs of life were too exciting for them.

But Lin You said leisurely: "It turns out that I trust Professor Dumbledore more than you think."

"Of course, of course." Lupin and Black looked at each other and stammered.

Now they are stuck in the swamp and can't move, and their wands are lost. They are at the mercy of others, so what else can they say?
"Anyway, there is one thing I must state in advance." Lin You's tone was still not very good, "Because Mr. Black escaped from prison, the Dementors were searching everywhere, causing my family's business to be interrupted for several days; you must compensate for this loss. Even if the Ministry of Magic sentences you to death, I will still demand civil compensation."

Sirius sneered, and inadvertently regained some of the arrogance of a rich young master; "Whatever you want, there is no money in the wizarding world that the Black family cannot afford to pay."

"Wow!" Lin You exclaimed with emotion, "This is the first time I've heard someone in the magic world dare to say they are rich in front of me. Is your Black family richer than mine?"

"Your family?" Sirius squinted coldly, "Whose family are you from?"

"Forresters."
