"Why?" Anduin looked at Badonor in confusion. In his eyes, this was ironclad evidence. Sirius couldn't reveal the Potter's address, which not only meant he wasn't the Secret-Keeper himself, but also proved that Peter, the replaced Secret-Keeper, was still alive.

"While I'm willing to believe Sirius's innocence, it won't be easy to convince others. Because in the eyes of other wizards who know the Potter family's address, the Secret-Keeper, Sirius, hasn't died, so it's normal that he hasn't automatically become the Secret-Keeper."

"And simply using the fact that Sirius can't say the address as evidence can easily be seen as Black intentionally concealing it, trying to deceive everyone," Badonor explained simply to the two.

"I'm willing to accept a memory examination. They won't be able to find that address in my mind. You know the 'Fidelius Charm' can do that," Sirius said urgently to Badonor, eager to rush out and seek revenge.

"That can be used as corroboration," Badonor nodded, then turned to look at Anduin. "I need to discuss it with Dumbledore and Amelia first. I think they'll be willing to believe Sirius. As for how to convince the Wizengamot, we'll have to take our time."

When Anduin heard Badonor emphasize the words 'take our time,' he vaguely realized something. Perhaps there were other obstacles besides insufficient evidence.

"What? So you mean I have to stay here? But the culprit who killed the Potters is still outside. How can you expect me to be at ease?" Sirius gritted his teeth and said hatefully, then immediately widened his eyes and looked at Badonor.

"How about this? You let me out first, and after I catch that damn Peter, you can lock me back in prison. I'm not afraid of being in Azkaban, I'm just not willing!"

"What do you think this place is? You can come and go as you please?" Badonor glared at Black unhappily.

Anduin, who was beside him, also spoke up for Badonor, "That's right. If we just let you out, you'll just become a fugitive from a prisoner. Then how will you have a chance to catch Peter? And so many years have passed, are you sure you can find him as soon as you go out? Avenging Lily isn't just your responsibility, it's our common responsibility."

"Then what do you say I should do?" Sirius paced back and forth anxiously in the cell, shouting with a face full of unwillingness.

"You endure here for a while, conserve your energy, and recover your strength." Anduin finished speaking and turned to look at Badonor, "Can you take care of Sirius a little in prison? He's suffered a lot in here, especially from those Dementors."

"Well, that's not a problem. I'll arrange for them to move the Dementors away from this area, and I'll also tell the house-elves stationed here to improve the food," Badonor nodded in response.

Hearing this, Anduin nodded, then looked solemnly at Sirius, "Next, Minister Badonor and I will find a way to clear your name. What you need to do now is be patient and wait for us."

"Especially during this time, don't do anything stupid. If you try to escape, whether you fail or succeed, it will become an excuse for others to attack you. Then, regardless of whether you are innocent or not, you will become a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Magic. Then you will never have a chance to avenge yourself!"

Anduin had put in so much effort, it would be a pity if Sirius became a fugitive. This guy's temper is also very stubborn, either he's completely withdrawn, or he's like a mad dog. He guessed that this also had something to do with Azkaban. In this depressing place, it's understandable to become a little neurotic.

After hearing Anduin's persuasion, Sirius was also very conflicted. He had originally been disheartened, but when he learned that Peter Pettigrew was not dead, endless anger and regret filled his brain.

However, after gradually calming down, he also knew that what Anduin said was right. Black himself didn't know where that Peter was. If he ran out like this and couldn't get revenge, he would instead let that bastard go.

Then he looked solemnly at Anduin. This young man was the person he trusted most besides the Potter couple.

"Okay, I agree to your arrangement, but you have to get me out of this hellhole as soon as possible. I can't wait to appear next to Peter and bite him to death!"

Anduin nodded in response. "You have to be patient and trust me. I will contact you through the Ministry of Magic. No matter what, I will find a way to restore your innocence."

After saying that, Anduin began to move goods out of his space ring, stuffing all kinds of durable food and daily necessities to Sirius. Fortunately, he had a lot of this stuff in his hand. The supplies taken out of the basement at home were a large warehouse. He was desperately sending them in to Sirius at this moment.

In the end, Minister Badonor couldn't stand it anymore and called a stop. If Anduin really sent everything in, this wouldn't be a prison anymore, it would be a hotel.

Afterwards, Anduin and Badonor talked to Sirius again, carefully understanding the details of what happened that year, and then the two left Azkaban and returned to the Ministry of Magic along the same route.

After arriving at the Ministry of Magic, Anduin had time to discuss clearing Black's name with Minister Badonor.

"Will it be troublesome to solve Sirius's problem? Where will the specific resistance come from?" After returning to the Minister's office, Anduin couldn't wait to ask.

"The relationship here is much more complicated than you think." Badonor shook his head helplessly. "I told you before, when Sirius was arrested, the Ministry of Magic did a lot of publicity to stabilize confidence. Now, almost everyone is convinced that he is the culprit."

"And Peter Pettigrew was previously awarded the Order of Merlin. Think about it, if you were a member of the Wizengamot, and now you are faced with the overturning of two key judgments you made, it would simply mean slapping yourself in the face. Would you be willing?" Minister Badonor gave a rather rude example to interpret this.

"Can't the existing evidence make them change their position?" Anduin frowned. He knew that as long as anything involved politics, right and wrong were no longer all that existed.

"It will have some effect, but some people will definitely find various excuses and reasons to try to prevent Sirius from being released. After all, this involves credibility and will bring unnecessary turmoil to the magical society," Badonor also frowned.
