A day at Hogwarts
Chapter 61 Talk about what happened that year
"It was a tragedy caused by a prophecy."
Dumbledore slowly told what happened back then.
It is said that back then, Voldemort heard that there was a son of prophecy who could kill him, and there were two people with the same conditions, so he decided to kill the two children first.
One of these two babies is Lily's son Harry Potter. The family hid them back then. In theory, as long as the secret keeper does not surrender to the enemy, everything will be fine.
But...everything in the world is afraid of this "but"... The Potter family overturned on the Secret Keeper, he surrendered to the enemy, and the family was exposed.
So Voldemort was the first to kill the Potter's house, and then went to the Longbottom's house, but no one thought that he also overturned at the Potter's house.
Dumbledore said in a deeper voice: "Lily and James' friend, Peter, a usually inconspicuous, seemingly clumsy child, immediately went to find out who betrayed the Potter family. Secret Keeper Black takes revenge."
"Peter, poor boy, he was no match for Blake, he was brutally killed on the spot, only one finger was found at the scene."
"Then the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived, arrested Black, and sent him to Azkaban, guarded by dementors, in pain every day."
After listening to the events of the year, the two Smiths sighed. Lupine was very sad, and tears almost flowed out of his eyes.
Petunia has been listening quietly, her cold expression has not changed at all.
When Dumbledore finished speaking, Petunia asked him, "Can you take me to Black?"
Dumbledore was frightened, and hurriedly said: "No, Petunia. Dementors are not wizards, or even living creatures. From your understanding, they are a very terrifying evil spirit."
"They can suck people's happiness, and they can also suck away souls. Even if they are close to them, they will feel hopeless and recall the saddest things."
"It's just a deal for them to obey the Ministry of Magic, and you will be hurt by them if you go."
Petunia didn't say anything after hearing this, she just sat there quietly.
Jack asked her, "Mrs. Dursley, would you like to go home and have a rest?"
Petunia shook her head slightly, and said to Dumbledore, "I want to know more about Peter and Black."
Lupine, who was drinking tea at this time, felt a Quaffle hit his arms.
Dumbledore said to Petunia: "I recommend Lupine to help Jack and Charles deal with some things. If he is competent, he will often come to Jack. He was good friends with Peter and Black when he was at Hogwarts."
Charles thought it was so, and Dumbledore arranged for Lupine to come to the Centaur Liaison Office to collect his salary.
Without waiting for Lupine to say anything, Jack said, "That's just right. What Charles is going to do requires someone to be responsible for purchasing supplies from ordinary people. I want to recommend Mrs. Dursley to Charles, but I haven't had time to say so."
"Mrs. Dursley is familiar with the affairs on our side, because Lily's affairs also know the affairs on the wizard's side. It is very appropriate for her to be in charge of this aspect."
The corner of Charles' mouth twitched, but he soon felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement. Penny was a family member of a wizard and didn't need to worry about the "Secrecy Act".
Dumbledore and Lupine were dumbfounded. A Muggle became an employee of the Ministry of Magic. Is there anything crazier than this in the world.
Charles glanced at Petunia and found that she was calm. He thought that she must have reached an agreement with the old man, and said out of the mentality that watching the show was not a big deal: "I think it's okay. Professor Dumbledore, isn't there still something in Britain? Some wizards did not go to Hogwarts but studied at home, we just forged such an identity for Mrs. Dursley and reported it to the Ministry of Magic."
It was only when he arrived at Hogwarts that he heard that there were many "wild" wizards outside the school. The families of these wizards did not send their children to Hogwarts for various reasons but raised them themselves. Hogg The last sentence of Watts' admission notice, "We will wait for your owl to bring your reply before July 31st" is for them to hear, and if they do not reply by then, they will be studying at home.
The level of these wizards varies from good to bad, because they have not been systematically studied, so their overall level is very low, and the excellent ones are also very partial.
Anyway, as long as Petunia doesn't enter the Ministry of Magic, this kind of thing will not be discovered.
Dumbledore was a little embarrassed, doing so was tantamount to deceiving the Ministry of Magic.
It's not that he can't do it, but the relationship between himself and the Ministry of Magic is subtle. Someone in the Ministry of Magic thinks he is a potential rebel, eating, sleeping, and planning to overthrow the Ministry of Magic every day.
If this matter is finally exposed, an earthquake will be inevitable.
Seeing that Dumbledore remained silent for a long time, Charles said, "If it doesn't work, let it be, but Mrs. Dursley is still in charge of the matter here. She is not in the horseman liaison office. Mr. Lupine receives two salaries. Just give her her share in private."
Now Dumbledore was silent.
Lupine, on the other hand, looked at Charles with a hint of joy in surprise, thinking that he came for an interview today, so it seems that he hasn't gotten to the point yet, so the matter is settled?
But I still have a question that I have to take the initiative to ask.
"Charles," Lupine said very solemnly, "I am very grateful for your trust in me, but there is one thing I must make clear first. I am a werewolf."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Charles and Jack nervously, for fear that they would drive him out immediately.
It turned out that Jack was just curious, and Petunia was taken aback, but she restrained herself from reacting too much.
Charles scratched his head and finally said, "Okay, I'll arrange a break."
Then he said to Petunia: "Mrs. Dursley, please don't worry. As long as it's not on a full moon night, werewolves are just like ordinary people. I will arrange the time."
Petunia's hand holding the teacup was a little trembling, and she drank half a cup of tea to calm herself down before saying, "Okay...okay...I believe you...and Lily."
In her opinion, since her younger sister is willing to be friends with this werewolf, it means that this person is reliable.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Charles told Petunia and Lupine that the work would be discussed after Christmas. The specific salary would have to wait for the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic to complete the process.
The two Mr. Dursleys on the opposite side were both at home, and Petunia had to go home to cook and left soon.
Dumbledore also left, he was going to visit some old friends.
Charles left Lupine for lunch, chatted about the old Hogwarts for a while, and complained about Snape for a long time, and Lupine also left after dinner.
In the evening, after taking a shower, Charles sat on the small sofa in the study, carefully looked at the package of Visual Basic 1.0 in his hand, and asked the old man, "What's the matter with Mrs. Dursley?"
Jack replied while playing "Duke Nukem": "She knows I'm a wizard."
"Ah?!" Charles was taken aback, "What's going on?"
Jack replied: "There was a drunk driver who almost hit a child that day. It was an emergency and I didn't have time to think about it."
"She saw it and came to me later, promising to keep it secret."
"She has a deep obsession with her sister's death, and I hope I can help her investigate this matter clearly."
Charles nodded. Although the old man can play the Avada Kedavra curse well, he is actually very kind, otherwise he would not have picked himself out of the trash can and raised him.
"I think there's something wrong with her." Charles said with a frown. "I've been writing to her, and she's asking me about Hogwarts."
Jack said calmly: "Everyone has their own secrets, we can trust her."
"Don't underestimate a person's obsession with revenge for his loved ones, it is a terrible power."
"Believe it or not, Petunia must be the first to find out that the death of Potter's parents is suspicious. Then there will be a good show."
Charles frowned, thinking that there was a big deviation between this world and the one in his "memory". With the development of the incident, there might be deviations and unexpected things.
He didn't expect that what happened the next day was completely unexpected.
