The card draw starts in Azkaban

Push back some time.

A little after three in the morning.

Hogwarts.

In Principal Dumbledore's office, the floo network flashed green, and among the fireplace, a group of people arrived at the principal's office in Hogwarts.

Two pairs of eyes looked towards the fireplace.

Seeing the visitor, the air became solid again.

The only two people in this office were like sculptures, silent. They all pursed their lips and looked at the few people coming out, especially the short fat man among them.

They watched the gray-faced Aurors escorting Peter Pettigrew through the Floo network to Dumbledore's headmaster's office.

Dumbledore looked in shock at Peter Pettigrew, who was being held hostage by several Aurors.

Although Peter Pettigrew now looks too much like a mouse.

But Dumbledore still recognized his identity at a glance.

"Peter?"

Albus Dumbledore whispered.

The one who was more shocked than Albus Dumbledore was probably Snape.

Professor Severus swallowed and stood up.

His hands firmly grasped the back of the chair, and the veins on his hands were clearly visible.

It was enough to see how complicated his mood was.

"This is not possible."

Snape said word by word.

"Peter Pettigrew should be dead. He was blown to death by Sirius on the street. Everyone on the street saw his death scene.

He shouldn't be here."

Snape said.

Yes, his impossibility is that Peter Pettigrew should not be alive, not that he cannot appear here.

He knew who betrayed Lily.

It's Peter Pettigrew.

Most senior Death Eater cadres know this.

When Sirius was in Azkaban, he could hear some Death Eaters who were imprisoned in the same depth as him talking in their sleep.

They cursed Peter Pettigrew. Some Death Eaters believed that it was Peter Pettigrew who delivered false news to their master, causing their master to stumble.

Dumbledore also knew this. In other words, Dumbledore knew that Sirius was innocent from beginning to end, but through normal channels, he could not overturn the evidence of Sirius Black's guilt. The only witness,

Peter Pettigrew is dead.

The testimony of Snape, a Death Eater, is not reliable enough.

Moreover, the Ministry of Magic is particularly eager to turn over the book.

A confusing injustice.

But now, Peter Pettigrew appears here, and everything has changed.

Snape's shock was also evident.

No one answered his words. The Aurors finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief. They were exhausted.

"We sent him here, Professor."

They said to Dumbledore, who then returned to normal. He asked several strikers who had come from afar to sit down, and waved his wand to summon chairs.

Fortunately, Fudge was not in the Headmaster's Office - he should be grateful that he was not here, otherwise, he could resign without taking the blame, because he might just die and have his portrait hung on the wall behind the Minister of Magic's office.

Because of Du Wei's reappearance in London, he almost suffered a heart attack.

He is currently recuperating in the Hogwarts hospital.

If he were here and saw Peter Pettigrew alive, Dumbledore had reason to believe that our Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, would die on the spot.

No magic potion could save his life.

Dumbledore walked over and several Aurors informed them of the situation. Dumbledore poured wine for these Aurors and asked them to drink it to relieve their fatigue.

After drinking the wine, these Aurors became obviously excited.

"Please sit down for a while."

Dumbledore said, he stood and thought about it, summoned his patronus, and asked it to deliver the message.

"Go to Mr. Remus and bring him to the principal's office."

He said to his patron saint.

The pale bird turned into silver light and disappeared into the principal's office. The atmosphere at the scene was heavy and scary, with only the crackling sound of firewood in the fireplace.

There is also the sound of Phoenix Fox jumping around.

Dumbledore was not in the mood to speak. He just stood there, staring at the fire in the fireplace, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, the door opened and Sirius walked in.

"What's the matter... uh..."

His voice came over before anyone came in, but when Sirius walked in and suddenly saw Peter Pettigrew in the principal's office, he suddenly stopped.

Maybe not shut up.

It's the loss of voice.

All eyes were fixed on Mr. "Remus Lupin" who had just entered.

Sirius did not expect that he would see such a shocking scene after entering the principal's office.

He met Peter Pettigrew, whom he thought about day and night, and wanted to kill.

He seemed to be coughing up phlegm.

He obviously opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Snape, Dumbledore, and the Aurors all looked at Lupine, especially Dumbledore, who was always on guard against any "inopportune" actions made by Lupine.

For example, rush up and bite Peter Pettigrew to death.

He was ready to unleash the spell.

Fortunately, the worst outcome he expected did not occur.

Lupine's legs seemed to be completely stiff, and he hobbled towards the front.

In his eyes, only Peter Pettigrew remained, and only Peter Pettigrew.

He turned a blind eye to everything around him.

Peter Pettigrew is still fainting. He should be glad that he is still fainting now, otherwise, he may suffer endless torture.

For a moment, Sirius really wanted to bite Peter Pettigrew alive - because of him, he lost his best friend, because of him, he lost twelve years, because of him...

Because of him, Sirius lost too much.

In an instant, all the extreme emotions came to his mind. His emotions were so turbulent that Sirius couldn't express the situation at all.

It was so complicated that his mind went blank.

He was trembling. He was about to fall down at any time as he walked forward. He looked like a puppet in a clown show, being controlled by a novice. This novice did not have a good grasp of the balance of the puppet. In just a few steps,

, this puppet almost fell to the ground several times - in a very ridiculous posture.

But Dumbledore didn't find it funny at all.

The batters around him didn't find it funny at all.

They were all silent, watching the man approach their "friend".

Snape watched all this with cold eyes, watching Lupine almost fall to the ground, watching Dumbledore walking over, and had to use his wand to cast magic to ask Lupine to stand more stable and ask him to come over.

Dumbledore saw that Lupine did not rush over, but judging from his violent chest heaving and his walking posture, Lupine was definitely not calm at the moment.

Dumbledore put his wand into the cup flying in front of him. Soon, the cup of water turned into another strange liquid.

He walked over, held Lupine's arm with his strong hands, and held him beside him. When many people see Albus Dumbledore, they will subconsciously remember his kind appearance, and they will

Keep your attention on his nose, which was knocked crooked several times, on his blue eyes, and on his long beard.

But only those who are close to him will find that Dumbledore is also a very tall man.

He is taller than most wizards.

He is also a little taller than Lupin.

He grabbed Lupine firmly and told Lupine to stand still.

"Drink it, Lupin."

Dumbledore said in an unmistakable voice.

Sirius said nothing, his eyes were fixed on Peter Pettigrew.

"He's still alive."

Sirius said: "He is still alive, why? Why is he still alive!"

He said as if roaring.

Why is he still alive!

He betrayed James and Lily, why is he still alive!

He began to struggle violently, and even Dumbledore had to increase his strength. His other hand holding the cup did not move. He grabbed Lupine's hand and cast the spell silently without a wand. With a little force,

Release the energy.

Lu Ping suddenly felt weak all over.

Dumbledore pried open Lupine's mouth, poured some water into his mouth, and then waved his hand, causing a gust of wind in the principal's office, and a chair fell behind Lupin.

He pushed Lupine onto the chair and sat down.

"That's the answer we want."

Dumbledore stared at Lupine with his blue eyes and said. He glanced at Snape and said to Snape: "Go get some Veritaserum, Professor Severus."

Snape looked at these scenes indifferently, turned around and left here.

Information obtained through Legilimency is illegal under the laws specified by the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, using truth serum is not legal, but at least it can be recorded for easy use as evidence.

Besides, none of this matters now.

"Want to ask him a question?"

Dumbledore asked Lupine, who clenched his fist tightly.

After drinking this glass of water, Sirius strangely felt like he had regained his senses.

His brain came back.

"Harry, Harry is also qualified to know the truth. He should be here to listen."

Sirius said.

"Yes, Harry is also qualified to know the truth,"

Dumbledore repeated these words. He glanced at the people present, and finally turned his attention to Lupine and said, "Go ahead, Lupin, and bring Harry here."

Sirius nodded silently and walked out of the principal's office silently.

"The password is dragon slag candy."

Dumbledore said behind him.

Over there at the portrait of the Fat Lady, the Fat Lady looked at the professor who appeared here early in the morning and asked lazily: "Password?"

"Dragon candy."

Sirius poured a sip of potion into his mouth and walked into the Hogwarts student lounge. He came to the door of Harry Potter's dormitory.

Went in.

"Who is it?"

Someone woke up, and it sounded like Ron's voice.

"It's me."

Sirius said.

"professor?"

There was a whispering sound coming from inside, and soon, Ron was wearing pajamas and opened the bed curtain.

Immediately afterwards, the other children also turned on the lights, and Sirius stretched out his wand and cast fluorescent light, making the place brighter.
