Chapter 122 Hidden Secrets

"Can your cat talk to you? Is it really not Peter??"

Sirius asked as he looked at Lu Yunkai with a shocked expression.

"Of course not! Stable Agmanis..."

Before Lu Yunkai finished speaking, the figure of Chris, who was in the ugly cat state, suddenly changed.

Transformed into a snow leopard.

"Well, no need for me to explain." Lu Yunkai pointed at Chris.

"Agymanis can't switch forms without recasting the spell, huh. So, it's really a... shape-shifting cat? Eats Peter and becomes a mouse? Hahahaha..."

Sirius suddenly burst into laughter.

The intensity and unrestrained laughter made Lu Yunkai stunned.

Smiling and smiling...

"You actually cried with laughter? Isn't that serious?"

"No? If you were framed by someone and imprisoned in a ghost place like Azkaban for more than ten years, and you went through all the troubles to escape just to save yourself and the friends he killed, you would not be able to escape. Found him eaten by a cat..."

"Wait a minute! What do you mean, Harry's father was killed by Peter?"

"Don't interrupt!" Sirius seemed very irritable.

"You understand, I am asking you now." Lu Yunkai snorted coldly.

Then he remembered one thing. Maybe he was too surprised to see that Agemanis was Sirius, and he forgot to feed Sirius the truth serum...

"Quickly imprison him!"

After adding another confinement spell, Lu Yunkai took out a bottle of veritaserum from the system and squatted down next to Sirius.

"Wait a minute! I know that you have a good relationship with Harry, so I didn't plan to attack you from the beginning. I just wanted to confirm with you that your pet is yours. You don't need to kill me..."

"Shut up! This is not poison!" Lu Yunkai glared at Sirius, "Veritaserum, have you ever heard of it?"

"...Drink it for me."

Sirius took the initiative and opened his mouth.

This appearance of trying to prove his innocence made Lu Yunkai, who was holding the medicine bottle, stunned.

"Meow!" Chris said beside her, "Don't let him scare you. Feed him!"

"..."

Lu Yunkai nodded and poured the potion into Sirius' mouth.

It was quiet for a while.

"Are you here to find me?"

"yes."

The potion seemed to have taken effect and Sirius' answer was quick.

"Because of my pet?"

"yes."

"Why do you think it's Peter Pedillo?"

"Outside Hogwarts Castle, I followed Peter and ended up seeing a pool of blood on the ground. This was one of his old tricks."

"Blood stains?" Lu Yunai turned to Chris, "Don't cats eat mice in one gulp?"

"Meow! Didn't I tell you! I attack with my claws!" Chris was a little annoyed, "I'm not really a cat!!"

"...It's not a cat, can you please stop meowing!" Lu Yunkai glared at Chris, then turned to Sirius, "Then how did you find Chris? Near the pool of blood, he saw Chris Traces of silk?”

"I saw traces of it near the blood. At that time, I thought it killed Peter. Until one day during the summer vacation, I saw it again near Weasley's house, so I began to suspect that it just changed the new Argo. Manis form.”

"...Near Weasley's house?" Lu Yunkai and Chris looked at each other and remembered the date, "No! Didn't you just escape from Azkaban in July?"

"I escaped in May."

"Meow, the Ministry of Magic wanted to capture him and then pretend that nothing happened, but it took two months without him being caught. He couldn't hide it and only then did he expose it. It sounds like it is in line with the Ministry of Magic's style of doing things. "

"That's not true, is it?"

"Why not? Harry violated the law that minors are not allowed to use magic during holidays during the summer vacation, and nothing happened. For an institution like the Ministry of Magic, face is more important than anything else." Chris rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai , "Meow, I remember! When I ambushed that mouse that day, it was in a panic as if it was running for its life. It didn't have the vigilance it had when it was in the castle before, and ran directly into my attack range! When I think about it, , it’s a little weird.”

"So this year you rushed into Hogwarts not to attack Harry?" Lu Yunkai continued to ask Sirius.

"I'm looking for your cat!"

"... Let's put it this way, the first time you attacked Slytherin, it was indeed sleeping in the dormitory. The second time... Chrissy was spying on Ginny. Now it seems that Harry is also very pitiful." Lu Yunkai Thinking of Harry Potter who took the blame bitterly in the Leaky Cauldron, he smiled helplessly.

Can this also be translated as "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight"?

"By the way, you said it was Peter Pedillo who betrayed Harry's father?" Lu Yunkai finally remembered to ask about his friend.

"Yes. Originally, James asked me to be his secret keeper, but I think anyone who knows our relationship will guess that he will definitely choose me to be his secret keeper. This will bring danger to them, so I came out. I came up with an idea to let the usually inconspicuous Peter Pedillo be the secret keeper, and no one would doubt him. In this way, even if I was caught by Voldemort and he tortured me again, he would be safe. It's absolutely impossible to find out where James and Lily are hiding."

"Say what you just said again."

Lu Yunkai frowned slightly and said something a bit nonsense.

Sirius, who had taken the truth serum, had no way to go against Lu Yunkai's intention, so he could only say the original words again.

Then the second time, the third time.

Repeated twenty times.

It took nearly an hour.

During this period, Lu Yunkai gave Sirius five more imprisonment spells.

"Meow, what are you doing? I almost memorized this paragraph! Are you teasing him here?"

"What do you know!" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris, "I'm afraid he has some way to deal with the truth serum!"

"If it's really like you asking repeatedly, it's useless! At most..."

"Try to repeat this long paragraph twenty times! You will jump up in annoyance after saying it three times." Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris.

"...Meow." Chris thought about it and it was right. Apart from drinking the truth serum and having to answer, it seems that no normal person can repeat such a paragraph almost word for word for twenty times...

"Of course, I was thinking..." Lu Yunkai looked at Sirius, who was glaring at him, but had no way to deal with it, "If what he said is true, I might be his enemy now."

"Meow? Why?"

"You ate the mouse, and now no one can prove that what he said is true." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I can't go to the Ministry of Magic to testify for him at my age, so..."

"You are Harry's friend, I won't blame you."

"Just because you have a good relationship with Harry's father doesn't mean you will have a good relationship with Harry, so I really don't believe what you said."

"I am Harry's godfather!" Sirius took over the conversation between Lu Yunkai and Chris.

"...Really?" Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes.

As a student of Slytherin, who attaches the most importance to bloodline, he has learned a lot about bloodline and family in the past two years.

In the magic world, godfather means magic contract. In the case of inconvenience to parents, he can perform duties equivalent to those of a father.

Duties in the sense of magic.

An intuitive way of saying it is that Harry can receive owl letters at Sirius's residence...

"Of course! I am James' best friend."

"You just mentioned Lupin?" Lu Yunkai thought of another question, "What is your relationship with him?"

"The four of us were good friends at the beginning."

"You, Harry's father, Lupin, and... Peter?"

"Yeah."

"So Lupin helped you enter Hogwarts Castle?"

"No."

Silence.

"Meow, do you have anything else to ask him?" Chris looked at Lu Yunkai who was lost in thought and asked.

"Nothing to ask." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Let's go back."

"Meow? Go back? Just leave him here?"

"What else? If he is really Harry's godfather, can I really hand him over to the Ministry of Magic?"

"Then what will you do?"

"Listen to his words and watch his actions!" Lu Yunkai glanced at Sirius, whose truth serum was gradually losing its effect, "Now that he knows you are not Peter Pettigrew, and we have helped Harry's parents to avenge, he naturally has no reason to pester us anymore, so, I will believe him if he never appears in front of me again in the future."

"Meow, that's right!" Chris nodded, "But I killed the mouse, so he can't prove his innocence? What if he hates us because of this?"

"That's his own business. A person who will hate us because we help him get rid of his enemies and he can't prove his innocence, do you believe that he will hand over such a big thing as a secret keeper to someone else to ensure that he doesn't leak out when being tortured?" Lu Yunkai laughed.

"Meow, I didn't realize you thought it through!" Chris nodded with satisfaction.

"If you hadn't interrupted me just now, I would have thought more carefully." Lu Yunkai touched Chris's cat head, then turned around and jumped back into the fence.

Backhand, a spell.

"Stop the spell!"

The spell hit Sirius lying on the ground.

Sirius, who was lying on the ground, jumped up almost immediately.

Looking at the direction where Lu Yunkai disappeared, he spat.

Obviously, he was very angry about the bullying that Lu Yunkai had just given him. But it seemed that there was no further action.

Just looking at Chris who was still standing there and didn't return to the yard.

"Are you really not Peter?" After a long while, he said a sentence with difficulty.

Chris didn't answer, just looked at him.

In fact, even if it answered, he wouldn't understand.

The man and the cat confronted each other for a while, and Black whispered a sentence, Agmanis.

Then his body turned back into the big black dog.

He shook for a moment and disappeared.

Chris breathed a sigh of relief, then shrank back into the shape of a kitten, and jumped back into the yard.

"Meow, do you really believe what he said?" Chris asked, looking at Lu Yunkai standing in the yard wall, staring at the direction where Sirius disappeared.

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Why? Why do I feel that what he said is so absurd... Truth serum is not very reliable. Have you forgotten the clerk in Zabini's magic item store?"

"Then give me a reason why he didn't go to the Leaky Cauldron and came here to stay for two days?" Lu Yunkai asked Chris.

"This..." Chris couldn't think of it.

"But you deprived him of the opportunity to be a good person again, so I can only drive him away. Otherwise, I have to be responsible for him, but I can't take responsibility." Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris.

"...... Meow." Chris cried aggrievedly.

"Never mind him. I'm going to Daphne's house for dinner. Do you want to go with me?"

"Meow! Forget it! Your sister-in-law's broken snake urinated and defecated when she saw me, and then she got angry with me... I'm too lazy to go to her house!"

"...... Then forget it."

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head as he walked into the house.

...

After meeting the legendary Sirius and learning some secrets that may only be known by the person involved, Lu Yunkai thought that this skinny, bearded man who escaped from Azkaban should never appear in front of him again.

However, he was wrong.

Lu Yunkai, who was enjoying the unplanned Halloween holiday with a sense of relief, watched the people in the Ministry of Magic jumping up and down and performing monkey shows while waiting for the school to reopen, saw the wandering big black dog outside the wall again on the last day before returning to school.

"You are the only person in England who knows my situation and is willing to believe me. Apart from you, I can't find anyone else to help."

Lying on the ground with a bachelor's face, Sirius said with a smile as he looked at Lu Yunkai who was pointing his wand at him angrily.

"Why do you think I will definitely help you?"

"You are a good friend of James' son Harry. A Slytherin who is willing to make friends with Gryffindor is trustworthy."

"..."

Lu Yunkai felt that he seemed to be relied on by this guy.
