Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Prison Takes Turns
Sirius saw that Lupin was well-dressed and 'oily', and thought that Lupin might have fallen to Lucius's men.
He was a straightforward man, and he did take Lupin as a friend, so he asked very bluntly.
Lupin wanted to talk back, but after thinking about it, Sirius had been sucked by the Dementors for nine years, and thinking about people and things in a bad way, that is, the lack of good side effects in his heart, he should be more considerate, so he said in a harmonious voice: "My situation is okay, and the company I work for is not as bad as you think." This time, the company felt that we were old and more suitable to do this, so they handed it over to me. ”
He added: "I feel that I owe something to you, at least I owe you a solemn apology." I'm sorry, Sirius, I should have trusted you more. ”
Sirius fell into the memory and laughed: "I was really angry when I thought about it in the first few years, and then I slowly figured it out. I think that if it was someone else who was killed, you would most likely be partial to me, but the bitter lord is Jaime, and you will support the bitter master, and I will do the same, especially in those years when you were wandering outside, and we acted as free Aurors (Order of the Phoenix), we had little contact for several years, and we were estranged from each other. ”
Lu Ping also looked nostalgic, "Yes, it seems that it is only in a blink of an eye, and ten years have passed again." ”
After changing the topic, he said: "The company wants to make a private deal with you." Of course, this is not a threat, even if you don't make this deal, you will be wronged, maybe the real culprit is already on the way. ”
Sirius made another mistake and joked, "Oh, it's so good, when did those guys change sex?"
Lupin was patient: "There is no gang, only that, specifically the Shafiq family." ”
"Huh?" Sirius was a little surprised.
"Why, the name of the Shafiq family can be passed on to Azkaban?"
"No, I'm talking about Stanley Shafiq, who made a big impression on me when he went to prison. Before him, I had never seen a man whose temperament could be so transformed. ”
Lupin nodded: "What's more interesting is that Stanley's wife and children are also extraordinary, and in a few years, they have gone from almost sleeping on the streets to becoming a huge rich man who leads the changes of the times. ”
Sirius began to think about the worst again: "It's weird, whether it's in school, or in the early years, those two were not outstanding people, how could they change so much?"
"If you want to get to know them, there will be opportunities in the future. Lupin released an important message: "What I want to say is that Voldemort is back again, and the second half of the Wizarding War will begin." I let go of my grudge against my werewolf curse and became what I am now, just to prepare for war. ”
"Last time, we lost almost everything that was good. We were too young to help. Now, it is the backbone, and it is time for us to shield those who come after us. ”
Sirius leaned back, closed his eyes, and lightly touched the wall with the back of his head.
Suddenly, he said, "Is the news reliable? I mean Voldemort." ”
"It's true that he didn't die, he was seriously injured and hidden because of Harry, and he must use Harry's sacrificial flag to rise again. ”
"Harry will be going to Hogwarts next year, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"That's what you want to be a school manager?"
"Yes and no, Harry has been watched by Dumbledore all the time. The qualifications of the school board of directors are mainly due to the fact that the Shafiq family has a big move in Hogwarts and needs to have at least the authority of a professor. ”
"It's just the professorship, Dumbledore can decide, right?"
"What if the other person is only eleven years old?"
Sirius's eyes widened, "You're not kidding, are you?"
"No kidding, the 11-year-old Kane Shafiq is the youngest Potions Master ever, a Merlin Order of the First Degree, and a Baron of the Highlands recognized even by the Muggle government. On September 1st, the teenager was at King's Cross and easily slashed an alpha-level werewolf dark wizard into a human being, as I saw with my own eyes. The Unforgivable Spell can be removed. ”
Sirius couldn't believe his ears, he stared at Lupin for a long time, and then muttered, "The world out there has indeed changed so much!"
Lupin secretly shouted "Yes!" and he knew that Sirius had been persuaded by him......
Meanwhile, Kane is attending Peter Pettigrew's three-class trial.
Of course, there are no police, prosecutors, and courts in the wizarding world, and these three halls are Dumbledore and others representing Hogwarts, Fudge and others representing the British Ministry of Magic, and Crouch and others representing the International Federation of Magic.
Dumbledore and the others were able to participate, mainly because Peter Pettigrew was hiding at Hogwarts.
To be precise, he is Percy Weasley's magic pet, and next year, Percy will dump Spotted Spot on his younger brother Ron and replace it with an owl, because he is going to be a prefect, and the mouse pet is too frustrated, and he plans a lot in order to change pets.
Kane easily bought the pet from Percy, making Percy very happy that he had made a fortune.
"I was afraid of being persecuted by Sirius, so I kept going into hiding. ”
Pettigrew is not lying, he's a scoundrel, and he's too afraid of the consequences of confessing his guilt.
Crouch raised his eyebrows and wanted to be tortured.
Kane saw Crouch's intentions, and he stood up and spoke: "Since all of you here are civilized people, I propose to seek the truth by a civilized means. ”......
In fact, now it's just a formality, and the order of interests behind it has long been sorted out.
Although the old bee will lose face because Peter Pettigrew has been hiding at Hogwarts for many years, it is also a good time to cry out to the board of directors.
And Kane also took the opportunity to kick open the door of the school board with his arms around the thick waist of the money god.
Kane also lost no time in promoting his own product again:
"Version 2.0 of the truth spitting agent, the principle is simple and effective, fully taking into account the humane feelings, relaxing and hallucinogenic after use, making people look at the world, high-spirited, full of care, and have the courage to take responsibility. The toxic side effects are mild, and the Ministry of Magic and the International Magic Association are welcome to purchase in bulk, and there are discounts for large quantities......"
Potions Master Snape, who participated in the public trial hearing, covered his face, and this kind of bad painting style made him feel the urge to go out and smoke people.
Kane also seems to be aware that he has ruined the solemn atmosphere of the entire public trial. So he said: "The whole process of this public trial was filmed from multiple angles, and it was kept as detailed information materials that can be consulted. We can use Muggle editing techniques to make this piece of information less lengthy and useless cutscenes, and more impartial and objective......"
People roll their eyes and say, "Isn't this cheating?
But soon, including Snape and Dumbledore, they all felt that editing was necessary.
The effectiveness of the 2.0 version of the Truth Elixir is indeed even better, and after Peter uses it, he immediately turns into an invincible warrior. The poisonous tongue spat wildly, pointing at the heavens and scolding the earth, there is no one he doesn't hate, counting them one by one, from family, to friends, to teachers and classmates, Death Eaters, Voldemort, all of them were scolded by him.
Naturally, Dumbledore and Snape are also included, and the most interesting thing is that Peter has the ability to imitate other people's speech and behavior, and he learns very similarly, which can be called vivid.
So he played multiple roles by himself, he was simply a stand-up comedy master + Oscar winner + talk show master, vividly reproducing the scenes of the year, and presenting the events and characters in his eyes in front of everyone.
I saw that the people looked more and more like constipation. Kane chuckled inwardly, "I knew it was so. Peter was not a good man, but he was not a mad, cruel and vicious man. ”
Peter is a weak man, and his past has exposed some social problems that have attracted attention. In the little wizarding world, human nature is cold and thin, and the world is hot and cold.
Peter dug out his poisonous tongue for nearly six hours, drank more than 20 times of water, went to the toilet more than 10 times, and performed with a lot of desire, which was amazing.
When the medicine had finally taken effect, Peter Pettigrew sat slumped, his eyes glazed out, and sighed, "Today is the happiest day I've ever had." Cool!"
Kane stepped forward to check his physical condition and smiled, "Well, I think so." There are listeners, who listen very seriously, with a poisonous tongue casually, and no one interrupts, which can be regarded as a kind of happiness, how many people don't even have a person to talk to in their lives. ”
Peter smiled bitterly weakly, the elixir was more draining, and he was now very tired.
Kane turned to several bigwigs and said, "The effect of the medicine has been confirmed, and now Peter has calmed down." ”
After speaking, Shi saluted and stepped aside. This time, he only played the role of a pharmacist, and he was still more responsible, and he did not dominate the crowd.
In fact, there is nothing to say, the evidence is conclusive, the context is clear, the details are complete, and the verdict can be pronounced directly.
Little Peter was destined to be imprisoned for life.
Theoretically, Sirius, the bitter master of the case, should also be present.
But through the manipulation of the rules, it cleverly became a continuous trial of two cases.
According to Crouch's later interview, Peter's murder of the Potters was a case. Peter's framing of the little wolf is a different case.
