Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme

"It's appalling... It's a miracle that none of them died..."

Brian was sleeping lightly, and the sound from outside made him open his eyes.

"My God, I'm glad you were there, Snape..." This was the voice of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

"Thank you, Minister. Of course, Brian Foley, my student, also played a big role in defeating Lupine who wanted to help Black, otherwise I would not have been able to catch Black so easily..." Snape A low voice came in, causing Brian to raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Oh, I know, the children of the Foley family are really outstanding..." Fudge said, "The Merlin Order badge, second level, Snape, I can guarantee it. First level, if I can get it... of course. That kid, I can try to get him a third-level badge... It’s unusual to be able to do such a thing at this age.”

"Thank you very much, Minister." Snape's tone was still low, but he could tell he was in a good mood.

"Well, I'm really busy tonight. I don't know what happened in the Department of Mysteries. I have to go and take a look after dealing with Blake... Those silent people have been making mysterious things every day for three days. ." Fudge said, "Of course, I hope it is the same good thing as here..."

At this time, Madam Pomfrey came in. He looked at Harry and the three of them and said, "Ah, are you awake?" She held a piece of chocolate as big as a rock, smashed it open with a small hammer, and handed it to them.

"I'm going to see the Headmaster!" Harry jumped up, put on his glasses, and picked up his wand.

"Potter, don't worry, Black has been captured and locked up in the tower." Madam Pomfrey comforted, "The dementors will give him a kiss at any time..."

"What?" Harry jumped out of bed, as did Hermione and Ron.

At this time, Fudge and Snape also walked into the ward after hearing the sound.

"Minister, listen to me! Sirius Black is innocent! Peter Pettigrew pretended to be dead back then. He was an illegal Animagus and has been turned into a mouse all these years!" Harry explained in a hurry. .

"Obviously, Minister, they must have been under a Confusion Curse," Snape said sarcastically.

"I missed the Confusion Curse!" Harry glared at Snape hatefully, then turned to Brian and said, "That rat, by the way, Foley, where is that rat?"

Brian had already gotten out of bed. He blinked innocently and said, "When the dementors attacked us, the mouse bit off its own tail and ran away... I only grabbed the tip of its tail. If it’s useful…”

Brian threw out a small bloody tail tip.

Harry's face turned red. He didn't know whether he was angry or anxious. He pinched the tip of the tail and said, "Minister, maybe there is some magic that can be used to test it...it must be different from ordinary mice!"

"Oh, that's difficult, Harry..." Fudge said in his crisp, fast tone, "Besides, that doesn't mean anything... maybe he's just scared... Of course, we'll go find the rat If...if it will make you feel better." He said obviously perfunctorily.

At this time, Dumbledore walked in and said calmly: "I just met Sirius Black and Remus..."

"I suppose they've told you all that nonsense," Snape sneered, "about mice, about Pettigrew being alive... it's just a bunch of lies."

"Black did say that, and so did Remus," Dumbledore said. His blue eyes under his half-moon glasses studied Snape carefully, and then glanced at Brian to the side.

"They're a team! Black and Lupin!" Snape shouted.

"Okay, I think I can talk to Harry and the others alone..." Dumbledore said, "Cornelly, Severus, Bobby, please leave."

Madam Pomfrey reluctantly walked out the door.

Fudge glanced at his big gold pocket watch and said, "The dementors are coming soon. I'm going to greet them. Black will be executed tonight...Dumbledore, see you upstairs." He hurried out.

Snape did not go out, but took a step closer to Dumbledore.

"You don't believe Black's story, do you, Headmaster?" he said softly, "Sirius Black showed homicidal tendencies at the age of sixteen. You haven't forgotten that he tried to kill me, have you?"

"My memory is as good as ever, Severus," Dumbledore said calmly.

Snape strode out of the door and closed the door with a bang.

After the door closed, Harry and the others explained to Dumbledore in a hurry.

"Of course, I want to believe it...but, I can't influence the Minister of Magic. You must see that Professor Snape's testimony is much stronger than yours..."

Harry lowered his head in despair... He felt that his last hope was shattered. Even Dumbledore couldn't help him, so who else could save Sirius?

At this time, Dumbledore looked at Brian thoughtfully and said: "Brian, I want to know, what do you think? I heard Professor Lupine said that you defeated him... What an amazing achievement. "

"I don't know, sir," Brian said easily, "The mouse is lost."

"So, why did you choose to side with Professor Snape instead of hearing the truth first?" Dumbledore said.

"I think, at that time, right or wrong doesn't really mean much, sir." Brian said truthfully, "I know that Professor Snape hated Professor Lupine and Black. At that time, Professor Snape was angry I was so overwhelmed with pleasure that I couldn’t listen to anything…”

"If I want to stop him, I can only attack him..." Brian raised his head and said, "I don't want to attack Professor Snape. You know, I don't know who is right and who is wrong, but Professor Snape helps He hurt me too much, and I should choose to stand on his side both emotionally and rationally."

Brian glanced at Dumbledore's calm expression and continued: "The hatred between them has lasted for too long. I think it is not a bad thing to let Professor Snape vent it out..."

"So, you want Severus to beat them up to vent his anger?" Dumbledore said, dumbfounded.

Harry stared at him angrily.

"Maybe, anyway, I caught the mouse then, and the truth will eventually come out." Brian said casually, "I didn't expect the mouse to wake up so quickly and be so cruel..."

Dumbledore nodded.

"However, I think that even so, you will see through the truth, sir." Brian looked at Dumbledore and said, "If what Black said is true, you will never see an innocent person in front of you. Die down there, right?”

The three Harrys were startled, and looked at Dumbledore with eyes full of hope again.

"Do you just believe me?" Dumbledore blinked his blue eyes.

"You told me that if I could escape death this year, I would trust you more, right?" Brian smiled.

"I asked you to trust me, but I didn't ask you to throw all complicated and difficult things on my head..." Dumbledore said speechlessly.

"That's your problem, sir." Brian said with a smile.

"No, I think you should have a way, Brian." Dumbledore winked at him, "I think I can be an audience member tonight."

"It's none of my business, sir," Brian emphasized. "Professor Snape wouldn't be happy either."

"Ah, yes, he definitely doesn't want the Order of Merlin medal he is about to receive to fly away, and the same goes for yours..." Dumbledore said with emotion, "But you have to know that he has already vented his anger, Brian, no It is necessary to use the death of an innocent person to make the hatred deeper. To be honest, Black and Lupine were both treated badly by him tonight..."

"Please, Brian." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "I think you still need to repair the cracks you made yourself."

Dumbledore said, walking directly towards the door, and then he added: "By the way, congratulations to you for successfully escaping the bad luck, Brian."

"Thank you, sir." Brian said.
