"your name?"
"Sirius Orion Black"
"Why you came to Hogwarts"
"Avenge the Potters and kill that traitor...』."
"Who is the traitor?"
"Peter Pettigrew."
Hermione was shocked when she heard the words, and took a step back involuntarily, and accidentally stepped on Crookshanks' furry tail, causing the big cat to scream.
"Why do you say he is a traitor? No matter who you are, you are the Potters' secret keeper, you are the traitor." Hermione asked tremblingly. What Black said was even more incredible than her suspicions.
"The original decision was for me to be the Secret Keeper, but at the last minute it was changed to Peter Pettigrew. This was my suggestion to the Potters. I thought it was the best plan.. It was a clever plan... Voldemort would definitely Come and chase me, but what I didn't expect was that Peter Pettigrew betrayed Mr. and Mrs. Potter." He still answered blankly, but Hermione shed two lines of tears on Lake's face.
She also drank veritaserum. Under the effect of the potion, the person who took it would hardly be able to resist the questioner, nor would she show any emotions, but Black still had such strong mood swings.
Hermione didn't expect that her little trick of delaying time would actually work, and this murderous "criminal" would actually drink her potion without hesitation.
But what surprised her even more was the "truth" that Blake spoke of under the influence of Veritaserum.
"So what was the real situation on the street at that time? Since you are innocent, why didn't you get justice in Azkaban? You can ask Principal Dumbledore for help. After the mysterious man fell, even some Death Eaters You've all cleaned yourself up, and you're still at large, why were you imprisoned there for twelve years?" Hermione continued to ask, she needed more information to judge the authenticity.
"When I cornered Peter Pettigrew, he yelled for the whole street, saying I had betrayed James and Lily. Then, before I could curse him, he used the The wand in the back blew up the street, killing everyone within twenty feet of him, and fled into the gutter with the rest of the rats... As for Azkaban, I indirectly killed the Potters , this may be another punishment for me, "
Hermione didn't know what to say now. If Black hadn't lied, it was too stupid from her point of view to punish herself with other people's mistakes, and the real murderer was at large. Does such atonement really make sense
She was thinking that if what Sirius said was true, maybe Harry's childhood would not have been so painful.
Maybe it wasn't all his fault, Hermione searched for the memory in her mind - Sirius Black was thrown into Azkaban without being judged.
"Then why were you locked in a cage before?" Hermione shook her head, trying not to think about those messy things. Now her purpose is no longer to delay time, but to get more information from Black. message.
"I..." Just as Black was about to answer, his eyes gradually cleared up. He found that his consciousness had recovered. He was like an outsider when he answered before. The story of the year.
"It's really a terrible potion. I heard that the Ministry of Magic wanted to use this potion to judge me, but it was said that there were too many differences of opinion, so it didn't matter. Today, it is actually used in this situation." Black looked very surprised , the eye sockets were sunken even more deeply, looking haggard.
"Harry's friend, can you trust me now?" Black then asked.
Hermione was at war with heaven and man, constantly analyzing the authenticity of Black's words from various aspects.
She has personally tested the true efficacy of Veritaserum.
Logically speaking, if he really wanted to target Harry, there was absolutely no need to go to extra lengths to gain his trust. Knocking himself out and holding him hostage would completely achieve his goal.
Plus Crookshanks spared no effort in helping him.
And some other examples, for example, Hermione took advantage of the time to steal "Powerful Potion" and read many books about Animagus. This is a very advanced spell, and it must be extremely difficult to maintain it. High concentration, Peter Pettigrew said that he lost his memory and could only maintain the form of a mouse.
And her own intuition, deep down in her heart, she is also willing to believe this thin man with unshaven beard and disheveled hair, because Hermione feels sincerity from Black, which is compared with the artificial feeling she felt in front of Peter Pettigrew Especially after that.
"Not quite." Hermione shook her head and said, "But now I am willing to verify the truth with you." Having said that, Hermione has actually been convinced.
"I can confront that traitor face to face, but he won't dare, he is intoxicated in his heroic role now." Black answered Hermione, walked to Malfoy's desk and began to search.
"Mr. Black." Hermione said politely, "We don't have time now, and I have another question, which is the unfinished question just now, why did you appear in that cage?" Xu, how to explain this iron cage
"What a nostalgic feeling." In front of the table, Black touched a blank old parchment with his slender palm, his eyes were full of memories, and he didn't mean to answer.
"Mr. Black, please answer my question. Even if there is no Veritaserum, this question is very important. This may be a conspiracy." Hermione repeated earnestly.
"Well, it's really embarrassing to admit that I fell into the hands of a student and a Squib." Blake shrugged, only half-covering the question, and showing a hideous smile at the same time.
"I found his location." Blake pointed to the small ink dot on the Marauder's map. While talking, he moved his body, his hands were trembling with excitement, and he would rush out of this room at any time to find him. Peter Pettigrew confronts.
Of course, the greater possibility is to take revenge directly, using a green light to directly kill the traitor.
"Do you just want to rush directly like this? Do you know how many Aurors are around the school now? I don't know if the thing like a map in your hand is real and effective, but whether it is true or not, it is absolutely impossible for you to rush out so directly now. If we can't achieve your goal, the best way for us now is to go to Professor Dumbledore, he will solve all this." Hermione said calmly, with her arms outstretched, she firmly stopped in front of Sirius, But just after she finished saying these words, her complexion suddenly became difficult, because Professor Dumbledore had not been in the school for some time.
