Chapter 311 Talking about the Rainy Day

The reason why Dumbledore brought Ada with him today was just to increase her experience and give her a clearer understanding of the Ministry of Magic. Although seeing may not be true, seeing it with your own eyes is better than hearing it through hearsay.

Of course, Dumbledore did all this not to prejudice Ada against the Ministry of Magic, but to tell Ada how unreliable the Ministry of Magic is.

When darkness comes again, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to lead everyone to resist the darkness.

As long as Ada calms down and thinks about these things carefully, she will get the answer and know what Dumbledore's purpose is. But can Ada calm down now?

The answer is no, because Ada captured the key point of the principal's words. When he mentioned Blake, he didn't use words like "catch" or "arrest", but "find."

This is very interesting. Ada does not think that this is Dumbledore's compassion. It is because Sirius Black was once his student, so the words are more euphemistic.

Although Dumbledore was indeed compassionate in many cases, he could not tolerate sand in his eyes.

"Professor, what kind of person is Sirius Black?" Ada asked. In order to get rid of the principal, she also pushed the plate with snacks in front of Dumbledore, which was very polite.

Dumbledore withdrew his gaze and tapped his cowardly student with his hand.

But he still answered Ada's question. He said: "In my mind, Sirius Black was a brave, witty and energetic Gryffindor."

The Black family is an extreme pure-blood wizard. Even Andromeda, who later married a Muggle, was sorted into Slytherin when she entered school. Only Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor.

This is destined to make Sirius a unique Black. He didn't feel that he was an outlier because he was sorted into Gryffindor. Instead, he felt that the family's long-standing concept was wrong.

Sirius began to rebel against his family, but his approach was childish. Sirius would fly the Gryffindor flag at home and have posters all over his bedroom featuring Muggle girls in bikinis.

Compared with Sirius, Henry Rozier was so weak that he was nothing. However, things didn't end well for Sirius. He left his family before he was even an adult and had not graduated from Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Sirius Black still had friends. He met James Potter, Remus Lupine, and Peter Pedro at school.

The kind-hearted Potters took in the homeless Sirius and adopted him as their second son. It was not until after graduation that Sirius Black moved away from the Potter family, and he joined the Order of the Phoenix with his good friends.

From Dumbledore's description, the image of Sirius Black in Ada's heart gradually became fuller. He is a handsome, affectionate and rebellious Gryffindor, no longer the crazy lunatic in the wanted photo.

Ada feels that the relationship between Black and James Potter is like her relationship with the twins, and the relationship between Black and James' parents is like her relationship with the Weasleys.

Ask yourself, if she were in Blake's shoes, would she choose to betray James and Lily?

Won't! This was not a casual talk, nor was it an empty talk where the upper lip touched the lower lip. Ada was sure that she would not do this. Some feelings are more important than life.

However, Sirius Black did this, betrayed his best friend, his own brother.

"During those darkest years, I saw the light of dawn, and I got a crucial prophecy." Dumbledore said, "The person who made this prophecy, Ada, you happen to know. ."

"Sybill Trelawney?" Ada said the name without thinking.

She was the only person she knew who was engaged in prophecy. Trelawney's prophecy can actually be linked to vitality. I don't know if Dumbledore is crazy or if he is crazy.

"Don't make a fuss, you have to learn to find bright spots in everyone." Dumbledore educated Ada first, and then continued, "Sibyl predicted the failure of Voldemort and predicted that he would defeat Voldemort’s people—Harry, Harry Potter.”

Is it a blind cat that meets a dead mouse, or is Trelawney hiding something secret? Ada quickly drank a large gulp of hot water to calm herself down. Dumbledore also picked up the cup, but he did not drink the water or continue talking, but fell into silence.

After a while, Dumbledore spoke again. "Unfortunately, this prophecy was accidentally leaked. It was overheard by a Death Eater."

Being known by the Death Eaters meant that Voldemort knew. And from Dumbledore's use of the word "unfortunate", it can also be seen that the principal failed to stop the Death Eaters from informing him in time.

"In order to protect James and Lily, as well as the newborn Harry, many people sacrificed their precious lives during that time." Dumbledore continued, "Later, James and Lily hid in Godric's Hollow, The house they live in is also protected by the Loyalty Charm."

The Red Loyalty Spell is an extremely complex spell. Use magic to hide someone's secrets forever within a living soul. The secret is hidden in the heart of the chosen person - the secret keeper.

Unless the secret keeper voluntarily leaks it, the secret will never be discovered. Sirius Black was the secret room chosen by James and Lily, and Sirius was the person they trusted the most.

But the person they trusted most betrayed them and gave up their secrets and lives to Voldemort.

This was not the first time Ada had heard of this heartbreaking incident, but Dumbledore's version had something different and more details.

On the night of the attack, Black had been to Godric's Hollow and met Hagrid, which is where the suspicion of the whole thing began.

Was Blake going to congratulate his master, or to confirm that his friend was safe? Did Black want to take away the infant Harry to avenge his master, or to raise his godson? After being rejected, Black not only did not choose to fight with Hagrid, but instead gave his flying motorcycle to Hagrid. What was the purpose of this?

After that night, Blake was lost. When the Ministry of Magic found him again, he had already killed another friend of his, Peter Pedillo.

But the strange thing is that Blake did not resist the Auror who captured him, but laughed wildly. Captured without restraint, even though Voldemort had lost power at that time, this did not look like the style of a Death Eater!

Just look at what Bellatrix Lestrange did. Black's cousin captured the Longbottoms and tortured them mad with the Cruciatus Curse.

This is the correct way to open up the Death Eaters. What Sirius Black did was too embarrassing for the Death Eaters. It didn't look like a man who had just blown up a street with a spell.

There are too many mysteries, let alone Ada, even Dumbledore is confused.

Is the truth behind these mysteries really what the Ministry of Magic says and what people think it is?

But if the truth is not the case, and Sirius Black was wrongly accused, then why did he say nothing? It can't be because he likes Azkaban and Dementors, then his hobby is really special.

"Professor, is Black really the Potters' secret keeper?" Ada asked the doubts in her heart. She hoped that the wise principal could give her an answer.

Dumbledore nodded and then shook his head. The ambiguous answer confused Ada even more.

"It should be, James has no more choices." Dumbledore said uncertainly, "Peter Pedro is not a good choice. He is not as good as his friends, nor is he as brave. He Being able to seek revenge from Sirius Black is something I never imagined."

Ada didn't know much about Peter Pedro, but she knew about Remus Lupin and was somewhat suspicious of the professor.

So, Ada asked again: "Then why not choose Professor Luping?"
