Chapter 396 The Dust Has Settled

Sirius Black twisted wildly under the worried eyes of Harry and Lupin, knocking the chairs in the office upside down.

Because Sirius's wailing was so brutal, everyone except Snape showed unbearable expressions. Fish even raised his hand, wanting to apply a [Rejuvenation Technique] to him, but McGonagall was unable to bear it. The professor stopped...

God knows if that would make the medicine lose its effectiveness and Blake would suffer for nothing.

After a while, Sirius' movements began to slow down, and the whining gradually subsided, except for one or two weak moans that would come out of his mouth from time to time.

At this time, his limbs were limp and he was lying on his back on the floor. His face was covered with beads of sweat and tears. His eyes were blurred, his expression was dull, and there was even saliva dripping from his mouth... He looked like a mentally retarded person.

"Minerva, Severus's potion is terrible, meow!"

(Д`)

Even the daring Fish was frightened by the effect of this heart-wrenching potion. Snape's potion could actually turn people into fools!

He put his head into Professor McGonagall's arms and carefully glanced at Sirius on the ground with the corner of his eye. At the same time, Maomao twitched his nose several times, trying hard to remember the smell left in the empty medicine bottle on the ground.

"Don't worry, Fei Xu, no one can prepare this medicine except me, and I don't plan to use it on anyone else."

Snape comforted the cat, and then walked to Sirius and squatted down under Harry's fierce gaze.

He lowered his head to admire Sirius's miserable appearance, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. If Dumbledore hadn't urged him, Snape would have been able to watch him all night.

At Dumbledore's urging, Snape put the bottle of clarifying potion to Sirius's mouth and casually poured three drops into it.

With the administration of Veritaserum, Sirius's eyes became even more dull, as if he were dead, and his cheeks that were still twitching slightly relaxed, looking very peaceful.

Dumbledore also squatted down, looked at Sirius and asked, "Can you hear me?"

Sirius' eyelids twitched a few times, and then he replied in a flat, emotionless tone: "You can hear it."

"I want you to tell us," Dumbledore said gently, "the truth about when James and Lily were discovered by Voldemort."

Sirius took a deep, trembling breath, with a look of remorse on his face, and answered, "It's all my fault. I convinced James and Lily to change the secret keeper to Peter..."

His voice was still monotone, but Harry could hear the pain in it.

"...I don't understand why I didn't see that he was a spy from the beginning. He has always liked strong friends so that he can get their attention. It used to be us... Remus and I... and James... "

Sirius's answer was not much different from before, even more detailed. Then Dumbledore asked some more questions, such as how he escaped from Azkaban and how he found Peter. His answer was still the same as before. .

"It seems that Sirius and Remus did not lie..." Dumbledore stood up straight and looked at Snape aside, "Severus?"

"snort!"

A look of disappointment flashed across Snape's face, and he turned away, tacitly giving up informing the Ministry of Magic.

Lupine and Harry quickly stepped forward to help Sirius up, and then Harry asked with concern and surprise: "Will this remove Sirius' wanted status?"

The cat on the other side was also surprised.

"That's right! Fei Xu's bounty is gone too, meow!"

∑(ΦДΦ)

"If Fish wants the bounty, it's okay to hand Black over to the Ministry of Magic now."

Snape encouraged Fish slyly and answered Harry's question sideways.

At this time, Lupine also smiled bitterly and shook his head. He told Harry: "Severus' heart-breaking potion has not been approved by the Ministry of Magic. They will not believe Sirius's words, and those officials..."

The Ministry of Magic would not admit that they had arrested the wrong person without actual evidence.

Lupine did not say the next words, but just let Harry know that Sirius had to continue hiding.

Harry felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

Maomao is also very disappointed...because his bounty is gone...

Banban even cheated her out of a lot of food!

As for Snape's suggestion, Fish certainly couldn't really follow it. Although he didn't know why Black was still wanted despite being innocent, Cat itself didn't have the habit of wronging good people, even if he wasn't very good at it. like him.

"Okay, let's all go back," Dumbledore began to drive people away. "It's already very late now. As for Sirius, leave it to me to make arrangements."

Although both Harry and Fish wanted to stay, under the dual pressure of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, they could only return to the dormitory in despair.

"Harry! Fish! Are you okay?! Where are Black and Lupine?!"

As soon as the two got out of the hole in the wall, they were immediately surrounded by Ron and others.

Although Harry knocked him unconscious before, Ron didn't care. Instead, he grabbed his friend's arm and asked with concern.

Harry looked at Ron's worried expression and felt very guilty. He first apologized to Ron, then looked at the students around him and said, "Professor Lupine was knocked unconscious by little... uh... Black Well, we couldn’t catch him and he escaped.”

Before returning, Dumbledore had told the two of them not to tell the truth, because if they did, the Ministry of Magic would most likely guess that Sirius was hidden by him. As for Ron, Harry planned to Explain the truth to him alone.

"Isn't Professor Lupine working with Black?" Ron was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment, and turned to look at the crowd around him, "But everyone already knows that he is a werewolf... and Someone has sent an owl home."

"Even if Lupine is a good person, I don't want a werewolf to be my teacher!"

"Yes! This is too dangerous!"

Even in Gryffindor House, there are many people who fear and hate werewolves. Even if they know that Lupine is not a bad person, they don't want him to continue teaching.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for Lu Ping to continue teaching.

"The mysterious man's curse is really powerful..."

Ron, who revealed the secret, decisively threw the blame.

Harry rolled his eyes, but he was not too sad. Anyway, Lupine himself said that after this semester, he would go to track down the traces of Peter Pettigrew, and he had no intention of staying in the job.

"But then again, no wonder Black was able to escape from Azkaban, but even Fish couldn't keep him."

Neville on the side couldn't help but sigh, others nodded in agreement, and the girls even looked frightened.

"Fortunately, Fish was not injured by Blake. Please don't do such dangerous things in the future."

Xia Pei touched the kitten's head and persuaded her earnestly.

Then the strong cat immediately stopped doing it.

"It's not dangerous, meow! Fisch knocked down Black with just one punch, meow! That guy didn't even have a wand, how could he hurt Fisch! Fisch is so powerful!"

(`ω)

Feixu retorted angrily, how dare you underestimate Maomao's strength, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

"Yes, yes! When I arrived, Fish had actually captured Black." Harry quickly interrupted Fish and quickly made up his mind, "It's just that the arrival of Snape and I made little... Black Only when he finds an opportunity will he escape."

After being interrupted by Harry, Fish remembered again that this matter needed to be kept secret, so the little cat decisively swallowed the rest of his words, then squeezed through the crowd and ran to the dormitory.

"Fix is ​​sleepy and needs to go to bed. Good night everyone, meow!"

Today I played a puzzle game "Strange Gardening". The quality of the game itself is average, the plot is not particularly outstanding, and the process is not long. However, the content is related to occultism and various herbs. There are a total of 77 kinds of herbs in it, and Most of them indicate plant characteristics and so on. That is to say, my tendency in this HP is not to focus on potions and herbs, otherwise this game would be a good material library.
