Change the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 71: Guessing is useless, evidence is needed

Today is Halloween, and almost everyone is preparing for holiday-related activities.

They were all looking forward to the dinner and the carnival activities after the dinner. Under such circumstances, the library could only be described as deserted.

Although it is not the time for the dinner yet, some small activities have already started in advance, so most of the students have gathered in the auditorium. Now, only the conscientious Mrs. Pince is left in the library.

Faced with the sudden arrival of Connor and the other two, she was also quite surprised.

However, her essential job as a librarian is to remain silent.

Without asking or questioning, Mrs. Pince sat in her seat as usual.

During the period when the library is open to the public, the only requirement in the library is to keep quiet and not disturb others.

And they chose a table in the corner and sat down.

"In short, can I think so, you pay more attention to Peter Pettigrew than Sirius."

"Yes."

Facing Connor's straightforward question, Isobel nodded slowly.

"Then may I know why?"

Connor asked further.

He folded his hands and supported his chin, and his eyes clearly showed questioning meaning.

"I don't want to say whether you knew it before, but now you should at least read the newspaper. You should know what kind of person Peter is now."

"I know, the newspapers said he was a fallen hero."

Naturally, it was during this time that I read through the contents of the newspaper. Isobel knew this well at least.

"But that's why there's a problem, isn't it?"

The conversation changed and she said this.

This idea is actually very easy to understand, and Connor understood it as soon as he heard it.

But at the same time, he also understood that these alone were completely insufficient.

Therefore, he couldn't help but speak:

"No, what I mean is, do you have any basis for this? You suddenly mentioned him now. You must have found some evidence, right?"

However, Isobel covered her head.

"If you want evidence, there is indeed none, but you should also know that Sirius is innocent."

"Um……"

"So of course I have to direct my investigation towards other people."

This is actually the basis of everything. If the incident about the Potters had been concluded and there were no doubts, then they would not investigate such a matter behind the scenes.

But here comes the problem...

"Then where do you plan to start your investigation? What does the discovery of Pettigrew's name from "Human Metamorphosis" prove in itself?"

"..."

Isobel didn't speak, she just frowned and looked like she was thinking.

Connor wasn't in a hurry, he was just waiting.

At the same time, he also discovered some strange places.

According to common sense, with Isobel's character, she shouldn't feel that she understands this just because of a name like that, let alone come to him for discussion.

But this happened.

If we push forward from this aspect, can we prove something else?

When Connor thought of this, a question suddenly rang in his ears:

"But, both Sirius and Peter, they are both Animagus, aren't they? Doesn't this book prove this?"

Isobel's voice was a little weak, but it was no less powerful than explosives in Connor's ears.

"How do you know this?"

"...my mother said."

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke.

Oh, by the way, she also has a mother.

"So, I remember seeing a name very similar to yours in that book."

When the topic turned to this, Connor couldn't help but test it out.

"That name happens to be very close to Sirius and the others."

Connor stared at her, and he also noticed that Isobel's expression became a little unnatural.

Perhaps, my baseless guess should have been fooled.

"Isobel Morag is..."

"That's right, it's my mother."

Pursing her lips, Isobel spoke.

As expected, her own name was also inherited from her mother.

But this is not right!

"That may be a little abrupt or presumptuous, but I still want to ask a question."

"What?"

"Why does your name look different from your mother's?"

Gradually, her eyes became dangerous.

But this didn't scare Connor at all, he just stayed there and shrugged.

At least he understood that this was something he couldn't touch.

So, he quickly changed the topic.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. But no matter what, I want to remind you that even if you can prove that they are Animagus, it will not help the current facts."

What can you say at this point?

Could it be that this was used as an excuse to say that Sirius had a good attitude and at least did not use Animagus to escape from prison?

Don't be ridiculous, if that thing comes out again, maybe he himself will get a higher degree of guilt for it.

"If you really want to exonerate Sirius, then you can't rely on conjectures without evidence... You should at least find corresponding evidence for your conjectures."

But here is the biggest problem. If there is any breakthrough, one is Peter Pettigrew himself, and the other is Sirius himself.

"Then what else did you find here?"

Just as Connor was thinking in his heart, he heard such a question.

"Weren't you asked to investigate this matter...Is there any progress on your side?"

With his eyelids twitching just like that, Connor realized that he had a bad feeling.

Putting aside those feelings of disobedience, maybe this is what Isobel came for from the beginning.

Otherwise, she would not come to him.

So, what should you do?

hide?

No, that's not necessary at all.

"I found Peter Pedillo himself."

"You found that stinky rat..."

Isobel almost subconsciously wanted to raise her voice, but her emotions were like bottled water that was blocked. After all, she still could not burst out, and her voice gradually became quieter.

However, this is not a bad thing in Connor's opinion. Although the method is a bit unconventional, she can at least stabilize her emotions.

Otherwise, Connor would have to hesitate to reveal some facts to her.

"Well, I found it, but I can't act rashly now."

"...Is it difficult to catch? Or is he very strong?"

"No, it's actually because of other more important issues..."

After looking around, Connor glanced at Mrs. Pince, who was reading quietly as if the whole world didn't exist, and then at the empty door.

"It's that guy..."

"who?"

"You know who."

"If you don't tell me, how can I..."

Suddenly, Isobel paused.

She seemed to realize it.
