Aphasia at Hogwarts

Chapter 278 Dumbledore's Thoughts

Dumbledore can still recall that night, eleven-year-old Adriana sat on a stool with the sorting hat hanging on her head, and struggled for five minutes before sorting her into Ravenclaw House .

"That little girl, she has the indifference of Slytherin, the eagerness of Ravenclaw, the drive of Gryffindor, and the tenacity of Hufflepuff. It is really tangled."

After returning to the principal's office, the sorting hat told him about Adriana's heart, and after a long struggle, let her go to Ravenclaw College.

"Everything she has is to explore one thing. I don't understand what it is, but I think maybe Ravenclaw will be the most suitable house for her." Said the Sorting Hat.

In this way, Adriana entered Ravenclaw College and finally graduated with the first grade in the school.

In fact, in her fifth year, she had already learned all the knowledge that Hogwarts could teach, and in the next two years, she completely put herself in the library to seek some kind of answer.

It's a pity that she didn't find what she wanted until she graduated.

When I heard about Adriana later, it was her leaving the Black family and challenging Voldemort.

"I thought you were dead, Adrienne, after you challenged Tom, there was no news of you." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Although Adriana rejected the request to join the Order of the Phoenix when she was fighting Voldemort, she did not fall on Voldemort's side and helped them secretly.

Although there are reasons for Sirius Black, Dumbledore still regards her as one of his own.

Therefore, when he heard the news that she was going to challenge Voldemort, he only felt sorry.

"Actually, it's about the same." Adriana licked her paws, looking at Dumbledore with cat eyes.

"Are you cursed?" Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at the big orange cat in front of him, and with just one glance, he could see Adriana's current state.

"Yes, a lot of things happened back then." Adriana wagged her tail and didn't say much.

Dumbledore saw that Adriana didn't want to talk about the past, and didn't continue to ask. He looked at the black dog stopped by Adriana and frowned slightly.

"You want to protect Sirius Black?"

"Yes, Dumbledore, although in my capacity, the guarantee I made is not valid, but I still have to stand up." Adriana looked back at the skinny Sirius Black behind her, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

"I believe him. He is a good boy, different from the rest of the Black family. Isn't that why you let him join the Order of the Phoenix? He won't hurt your good friend."

Dumbledore was silent.

To be honest, when he heard the news, he didn't want to believe it. After all, the whole thing was too bizarre.

However, thinking of the family from which Sirius Black was born, he could only think that it was Sirius who fell into the darkness again.

After all, the Black family's pursuit of black magic and pure blood is engraved in their blood.

"So, what is the truth of the matter?" Dumbledore put down his hand, looked at Sirius standing behind Adriana, and raised the question again.

"It was Peter Pettigrew. He was the one who turned to Voldemort. At first I doubted that Lupine would turn to Voldemort. After all, he was a werewolf. He also suspected me, because I came from the Black family, and we didn't trust each other." Sirius Black said What happened at the beginning.

"In order to better protect James and Lily, I handed over the identity of the secret keeper to Pettigrew. I thought that would be a good strategy. Voldemort would come to me, but he wouldn't have thought that we would use Pettigrew. Weak fellows keep secrets."

"But what I didn't expect was that Pettigrew was weaker than I thought. He took the initiative to join Voldemort and told him where James and Lily were."

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain.

"Then, why didn't you tell everything, but stayed alone in Azkaban for twelve years." Dumbledore continued to ask.

"Because all of this is my fault. If I hadn't asked Lily and James to change the secret keeper, they would have been fine." A strong self-blame appeared on Sirius Black's face, and it was the self-blame that left him alone. Staying alone in Azkaban for twelve years is like exiling yourself.

"And, I thought, Pettigrew was already dead, he died on that day." Black's face began to be filled with ferocity.

"But I didn't expect that he was still alive, staying in someone else's house in the shape of a mouse, and being a pet for twelve years."

Dumbledore thought of the Weasleys' mouse, which he had seen when the Weasleys' first child entered school, after all.

That was a long-lived mouse, Dumbledore had thought of that, but he hadn't thought of going anywhere else.

But now let's combine Sirius Black's statement.

"It sounds logical." Dumbledore nodded.

If what Sirius said was true, then it seemed like it was time to go to the Gryffindor common room, get Peter Pettigrew out, and let this be over.

However, the wise Dumbledore thought of something a little more profound.

Something about love, protection, and hope.

"So, what are your plans now?"

"I want to catch him, kill him, tear him apart, make him regret what he did, and let him understand that there is no good end for a betrayer." Sirius Black growled, with a fierce expression on his face. as substance.

In the twelve years of his life in Azkaban, although he did not lose his sanity, it was inevitable that his spirit would be affected a little, and he would become more extreme and impulsive.

Dumbledore did not express his opinion, but looked at Black, and continued to ask, "And then?"

"And then?" Sirius Black looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

"Yes, and then, are you going to be caught back to Azkaban, or continue to flee outside, or, to meet Harry, but I think the current Harry is not very willing to see you."

Confusion flashed across Sirius Black's eyes. He really didn't think about things that far. He escaped from Azkaban with only one purpose.

Kill Peter Pettigrew and protect Harry.

As for the aftermath, he didn't think about it.

"You should think about it. I remember that you are still Harry's godfather. James and Lily appointed you to be Harry's guardian. Don't you want to take this responsibility?"
