Looking at Minister Fudge who kept playing dumb riddles, Mrs. Rostammer was also a little helpless. She felt that she might not be able to get a word out of Fudge.

"It is said that the Minister of Magic in Japan is going to be replaced," Fudge suddenly remembered something, and talked with great interest, "I can't remember a little, they don't seem to be called the Minister of Magic, what is it called? "

"Shogun?" Professor Flitwick suggested on the side.

"That's right!" Fudge knocked on the table, "The [General] who has been in power for nearly seventy years has stepped over the stage! It seems that he was replaced by a girl who put a wand on the handle of a knife."

"What?" The audience around Fudge was a little surprised. Seeing their surprised appearance, Fudge was very proud. "This is the latest news from the Ministry of Magic. It is estimated that it will take some time for the Japanese side to complete the handover before it will be reported."

"Isn't it true that only the strongest wizard in the Japanese magic world can be called a [General]? How can a wizard with such a powerful mana suddenly appear?"

"You're getting old," Fudge snorted rudely, "If you want to get the title of [General] by challenging the current general, you need to pass the three trials of [Wisdom], [Courage], and [Power] that the three subordinates of the shogunate pursued. The trial is very difficult, so no one has challenged the old general for a long time. Who knows how strong he is? He is not much younger than Dumbledore!"

The topic talked about Dumbledore, and Fudge found that all the people around him shut their mouths and drank silently. Hagrid, who just said nothing, snorted in dissatisfaction, and a few drops of wine splashed from his nostrils and dripped onto the bar table.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly stiffened, Ms. Rosmerta could only come out to smooth things out, "Speaking of Sirius, do you know that among all the people who have turned to the dark forces, Sirius Black is the most unexpected to me... …”

Hearing her say that, everyone sighed. Harry under the table stretched out his ears and waited to hear the news about Sirius.

As several people spoke, explosive news poured into Harry's brain:

Sirius knew his parents and was their best friend!

He betrayed his parents to the hands of Voldemort, and he killed his father's friend Peter at the end of the road! !

Sirius is still his godfather! ! !

The glass in Harry's hand fell to the ground, making a loud noise, but no one cared.

"Blake is acting pretty normal in Azkaban, the Dementors seem to have little influence on him - it's incredible, I'm really concerned . The situation, but if he is allowed to find his most loyal servant, he will definitely make a comeback quickly! Fortunately, Black, he is now..." Fudge's words were cut off.

But everyone knew what he meant: fortunately, Sirius had lost his mind and was bent on capturing Harry and avenging his master. Perhaps capturing him at Hogwarts was the best way to deal with it.

Everyone was silent. In the end, with the clanging sound of the glass hitting the wood, several people drank the wine in their glasses.

"Connelly, we should also go back to school. I remember you seem to be here to send invitations to the World Divination Conference to Professor Trelawney?"

Fudge hummed, and then there were a few creaking chairs and footsteps, and Fudge and the others left the Three Broomsticks.

Tom and Hermione poked their heads under the table. Harry's invisibility cloak had slipped off, but he didn't notice it.

Tom and Hermione didn't know how to comfort Harry looking at Harry's lost soul. He could only put the butter beer in his hand to Harry and watch him drink the beer in the glass one by one.

After drinking several glasses in a row, Harry staggered to his feet and walked straight to the door. He didn't seem to care about anything, even the invisibility cloak was put on him by Tom.

"Harry—" Tom wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start: the matter in Harry's house was not something that could be explained in a short while. Maybe he can only let his elders solve it.

"I know, leave me alone." Harry shook his head, ignoring Tom. He walked in a daze like this, returned to Honey Duke's cellar, and then returned to the castle through the tunnel.

There was only one question left in his mind: why had no one ever mentioned that his parents died because of the betrayal of his best friend?

"Tom—" After returning to the castle, Harry took off his invisibility cloak and staggered towards the Gryffindor Tower. Hermione looked at Harry's back, a little worried.

"Should we do something?"

"But what can we do?" Tom asked rhetorically.

"Then can you tell me why you let Sirius go?"

"Of course, I let him go because he was innocent." Looking at Hermione's eyes, Tom felt as if she thought she was crazy. So Tom sighed and began to tell Hermione the stories of the previous generation...

...

The principal's office welcomed two uninvited guests.

"Remus, I'm really surprised that you will bring Sirius to see me." Dumbledore sat on the chair behind the desk and looked at Lupin.

Lupin only felt himself seen through the blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses. But fortunately, today he is very magnanimous and has a clear conscience.

"Yes, Professor, I brought Sirius Black here. I think you should meet him. He brought some interesting remarks." Lupin calmly pushed Sirius to Dumbledore.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Sirius showed an unprecedented shyness.

"Professor Dumbledore, we meet again."

"You've changed so much." Dumbledore said with a smile, as if standing in front of him was not a wanted criminal from the Ministry of Magic~lightnovelpub.net~ but an outstanding graduate who visited his alma mater after graduation.

"Azkaban makes people grow old." Sirius sighed with emotion and then spread the Marauder's map in front of Dumbledore and activated it.

Looking at the magical map in front of him, Dumbledore blinked playfully, "It's no coincidence that you were rarely caught by the janitors during your school days--with this map alone, your ..transfiguration and The grades in the Charms class should be excellent. I don't know if this map will work for me--"

"No!" Sirius and Lupin rejected Dumbledore in unison.

Dumbledore didn't continue to entangle, and all his attention was drawn to a small black dot on the Marauder's map named "Peter Petru".
