Change the world from Hogwarts

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Dumbledore is a Coward?

For a moment, there was complete silence above the Black Lake.

Connor did not continue to speak, while Principal Dumbledore remained silent.

‘Wow!’

Suddenly, the originally calm surface of the Black Lake surged with ripples, as if foreshadowing something.

And when Connor subconsciously looked at the center of the ripples, he saw a big black fish rising into the air and rushing out of the water.

‘Click’

A drop of water fell on Connor's face, which made him reach out and wipe away the cold water drop.

He just looked at the old man again who seemed to be deep in thought.

"headmaster?"

After calling out, Dumbledore's deep eyes became clear again, which indicated that he had returned from his deep contemplation.

"Connor..."

This is the first time he has been officially called by this name.

"You saw all this unconsciously, in a dream, right?"

"Yes, Principal, is there anything wrong with the name?"

"...There is indeed a certain problem, kid. I think you should know what happened 11 years ago?"

"The death of Voldemort?"

This matter is not a secret. Although Connor didn't care about it before, people will mention it even in Hogwarts.

Harry Potter.

He defeated the seemingly arrogant big devil at the time with his baby's pink powder, but it didn't come without a price.

Harry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Potter, also died the night the mysterious man died.

"If I remember correctly, the Potters were betrayed, right?"

"Yes, everyone now thinks he is a friend of the Potters: Sirius Black betrayed the Potters, and as the secret keeper of their asylum, he betrayed the location of James and Lily to Tom... that is

Voldemort, this led to the death of Mr. and Mrs. Potter."

"Peter Pettigrew is also a good friend of Mr. and Mrs. Potter, right?"

"He was also a good friend of Sirius. In order to find out the truth about the deaths of the Potters, he tracked his friends all the way. When he questioned him, he had a conflict. In the end, he was murdered and sacrificed for this. Sirius was caught and thrown into Az

In the prison of Caban.”

"But these are not the truth. At least Peter will not be a sacrificial hero, otherwise he would not have to hide at all xz."

"Yes, that does seem to be the case now."

"Then principal, do you know this?"

The slightly cooler breeze blew the black lake, causing the calm lake to ripple with beautiful ripples.

Reaching out to caress the calm lake surface, Connor raised his head and stared at Dumbledore's face.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, do you know that Sirius Black is innocent?"

Then, Connor saw the principal who was supposed to be wise and intelligent and sighed:

"I don't know, kid."

There was a moment of silence, and the boat continued to approach slowly, but Connor's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Meow~"

The beautiful cat on his shoulder meowed softly, and he gently touched Phil's child's lips and scratched her chin.

After being silent for a while, Connor slowly spoke:

"Principal Dumbledore, let me explain the matter a little bit and see if it's right."

Dumbledore's brows trembled. The old man clearly knew what Connor was going to say, but he nodded.

"Say it, kid."

As a result, a strange scene appeared that would definitely make people feel unexpected.

A student and a principal.

A child and an old man.

The former questioned the latter like this:

"First of all, you know that Sirius is the Potters' secret keeper."

"Yes."

"Then I think he must be very trustworthy. Otherwise, you wouldn't agree to this kind of thing, right?"

"Yes, Sirius is so trusted that James and Lily are even prepared to make him the godfather of Harry's child."

"And some time after the death of the Potters, Sirius was captured at an explosion site, and Peter Pettigrew died. I think it was at this point that the cause and effect of the death of the Potters was finally concluded, right?"

"Yes, it was me who provided strong evidence to the Ministry of Magic. It was me who proved that James and the others chose Sirius as the asylum's secret keeper."

The old principal was surprisingly frank and had nothing to hide.

But precisely because of this, Connor felt confused.

"But now you tell me that you don't know that Sirius is innocent...Do you think this kind of thing makes sense?"

"I didn't lie, kid."

There is no arrogance or toughness. The old principal's attitude can be described as childish and sincere.

Connor could feel that Dumbledore was not a hypocritical person.

Moreover, the principal was not denying it, he just expressed the situation at that time euphemistically.

"Sirius didn't say anything at first. He only said that he had killed James and Lily. He was sorry for Harry. When faced with all the accusations from the Legal Department, he admitted them all."

It sounds like a tragedy.

Under normal circumstances, these may be explained clearly by so-called misunderstandings.

The greatest wizard in the world: Albus Dumbledore did not interfere in this matter after all, he just told what he knew.

But there is still a very important issue, one that cannot be ignored even if all the minor flaws are put aside.

That’s identity!

"Principal, you are the most powerful wizard in the world. I have heard a lot about you. Since a long time ago, you have been called a genius."

"..."

"The investigation is not difficult for you. It is even a very simple matter. There is a magic spell that can directly do this, read the heart, and even check the memory. Sirius's innocence is actually very easy to prove... If you are willing

Do this.”

But what is the truth?

The fact is that Sirius Black is still imprisoned in Azkaban Prison, charged with betraying his friends and causing the deaths of the Potters.

"You didn't do that, Principal, even if it was so simple."

"Yes, kid, I didn't do that."

Dumbledore nodded slowly.

"Even if those things were really simple, I didn't do them."

"why?"

"Because some things... are the bottom line. It is like an abyss. It seems convenient, but once you get used to its existence and the convenience it brings, terrible things will happen."

It was at this moment that Connor suddenly understood the meaning of what Principal Dumbledore said before.

"Sometimes, just because you have your own guesses, you need other people's answers more, Connor."

"We must learn to listen and listen to other people's answers and ideas, otherwise, many people will be ruined."

"My will is not as strong as you think, kid, I am just an ordinary old man."

Dumbledore's words not long ago began to flow in his mind, and Connor felt that he had glimpsed the answer from them.

Although, it sounds ridiculous.

"You are afraid..."
