Chapter 160 Truth and Truth
The wizarding world lives like the last century, but in some ways it's really convenient.
For example, now, Sirius, who was woken up by the cold water, was dazed.
Because his sense of smell was destroyed by John's dung, he didn't even notice that Snape was stalking, so he was hit.
He only felt that the voice was a little familiar, but he hadn't turned his head around yet.
"Come on, Dalang, drink the medicine."
In a daze, someone fed himself a glass of water.
Sirius, who hadn't turned his head, opened his mouth and was poured in, and he didn't react until he swallowed.
Looking up suddenly, John was holding a glass of water attentively, his expression was as kind as if he was taking care of a patient.
Seeing a gloomy and sallow face, he subconsciously asked, "Snotling?"
John noticed that Professor Snape's face had grown visibly darker.
Realizing something was wrong, Sirius said angrily, "What did you give me to drink!"
"Veritaserum, didn't I tell you to drink the medicine?" John said innocently.
Sirius's heart turned cold. From his point of view, these two people were simply planning an unruly combination.
This was the deadliest enemy he had dealt with in his student days, and now that it fell into his hands, it might be the same as entering Azkaban.
John was very satisfied after seeing the effect of the veritaserum. He conjured up a chair and sat down. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's not the first time we've met, Sirius Black."
"You are really outstanding, you made that fog, right?"
Unable to resist, Sirius sat on the wet soil and said, "But before that, I have something to say."
"Please speak." John noticed that Snape's face was always cold, and there was always a feeling that he was going to pull out his wand and use the Killing Curse any second.
He also wanted to know some more secrets, preferably about Voldemort.
After all, he and Voldemort are in a state of immortality, and his two Horcruxes were abolished by him.
During Sirius' coma, John also knew a lot of things.
Snape said that it was Sirius who killed the Potters.
This made John want to know the secret even more. After all, as an insider, he should know more than ordinary Death Eaters.
After being imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years, Sirius has some mental problems.
He looked at John and said seriously, "I'm not the murderer, it's him, the guy who hid!"
As he spoke, he yelled like he was insane.
John subconsciously threw out a slap and hit Sirius on the face that was close to him. He was usually a sword wielder, and this slap directly slapped Sirius' face swollen.
Fortunately, Sirius was also woken up, and he muttered: "It's him, that coward, he betrayed James, he betrayed James!"
John shifted his gaze to Snape, wondering if he just hit his head and made him stupid.
Snape looked at Sirius' swollen face, and even gave people a feeling that he was eager to try.
"Well, you mean, you are not a murderer, so who is?"
John originally wanted to ask about Voldemort, but seeing Sirius like this, he had no choice but to follow the words.
"Peter Pettigrew!" Sirius' eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely crazy.
Snape sneered strangely: "Peter Pettigrew, you may have forgotten that you killed that man 12 years ago."
With a sarcasm on his face, he said to John with some impatience: "Alright John, hand him over to the Auror, the Dementor will remind him."
Hearing the dementors, Sirius looked terrified.
When John heard the name of Peter Pettigrew, his mind moved and he thought of Ron's mouse.
Snape agreed to John because he also had something to figure out.
Seeing him approaching Snape, his facial expression became a little ferocious and he said, "Tell me, who helped you escape from Azkaban and enter Hogwarts, who should that be? Is it Remus Lupine. "
He was expecting, very happy to hear Remus Lupine's name come out of that mouth.
However, this is not the case.
"No, not Moonface, I only have two friends around."
Sirius hated answering his nemesis' questions, but Veritaserum was beyond his control.
He said with difficulty: "Crookshanks, Tom, they are my friends, help me catch Peter Pettigrew."
When John heard Tom's name, he couldn't help being disappointed. He fiddled with the cherry wood wand in his hand, and said lightly, "Is this wand given to you by Tom, too?"
He was slightly chilled, he didn't expect his dog to steal his wand for someone else.
It would be fine if he was an ordinary dog, but Tom could understand human language and what a wand meant to a wizard.
Thinking of this, Sirius over there spoke.
"No, it's not," he said. "This wand was found near the Whomping Willow."
"what?"
John was taken aback, didn't it come from Tom?
He stared at Sirius, and asked word by word: "Who gave it to you?"
It was impossible for his own wand to run on his own. John asked again, but the result was the same. It was picked up near the Whomping Willow.
His face darkened, and he said to Snape: "Professor, is the veritaserum potion no longer effective, do you want to add some?"
Hearing this, Snape showed a cruel smile, took out the veritaserum, pinched Sirius' mouth directly, and poured a small bottle into it.
Sirius resisted angrily, but when Snape heard that he could pour Veritaserum into his nemesis, he almost took out the cauldron and poured it in.
After drinking a bottle, Sirius even said how old he was when he wet the bed.
At the same time, John also knew the 'truth', it was not Sirius who killed the Potter family.
The Potter family used the Fidelity Charm and needed to appoint a secret keeper. As long as the secret keeper did not speak, Voldemort would not be able to find the Potter family even at the door.
James Potter only trusted Sirius, not even Dumbledore.
It's just that Sirius felt that he must be the key caretaker of the Death Eaters, so he asked James to replace the secret keeper with Peter Pettigrew.
"We trusted him so much that we didn't even think about Remus." At this point, Sirius roared.
For 12 years, he has been living in regret.
He felt that he had killed his good friend. After Peter Pettigrew faked his death, he completely lost motivation and allowed Auror to capture him and become a prisoner in Azkaban.
Until he read the newspapers, saw that the traitor who killed the Potter family was free, escaped from Azkaban, swam across the sea, and came to Hogwarts.
Snape and John listened, not saying a word.
Rule out the possibility that Sirius was proficient in Occlumency and the failure of Veritaserum, then these words are enough to become a huge stain on the Ministry of Magic.
"Professor, what are you going to do with him?"
In the silence, John spoke first.
Snape glanced at him, seemingly not understanding what he was talking about.
John smiled slightly, showing his eight teeth, and said, "I mean, do you want to end your previous grievances with him?"
Hearing this, Sirius also looked up at John, the boy in the Slytherin uniform, speaking in a harmless tone.
"Nobody knows, not even the Aurors, as long as we say he hit the student, shoots him on the spot, or throws him to the dementors, who suck the soul out."
A slight chill rose from the hearts of the two adult wizards. They looked at John with astonishment and horror in their eyes.
The astonishment belonged to Snape, he didn't expect John to say such a thing.
It was Sirius who was terrified. John knew the truth, but he could say this calmly.
This means that John doesn't care about the lives of innocent people at all.
terrible.
The two wizards had scary thoughts at the same time.
Snape reprimanded with a cold face: "John Wick!"
John shrugged and said, "Well, the professor is magnanimous. If possible, I hope to keep him locked up temporarily. After all, we have to verify the truth."
Without continuing to talk about the terrible thought, Snape's expression improved slightly.
In fact, John wanted to use Sirius as a bargaining chip to talk to the Ministry of Magic. Now that he knows the truth about this incident 12 years ago, it is even more exciting.
Peter Pettigrew was awarded the Merlin First Class Medal for his glorious sacrifice, and he was regarded as a hero.
At this point, the hero is far from the quagmire, leaving only John how to deal with it.
If Rufus Scrimgeour continued to maintain that attitude, John wouldn't mind letting the truth out, and letting the public see the scandal at the Ministry of Magic.
The Truth About Miscarriages of Justice, featuring the Death Eaters as heroes.
If he continues to be Johnny Silverhand's good partner, John can hide this matter and give Scrimgeour a big favor.
Let this truth be buried, and the Ministry of Magic will still shine.
But Professor Snape is here, and John can't be too straightforward.
With Sirius locked up, John and Snape walked out of the Forbidden Forest side by side.
Snape hurried, and John watched him leave.
No matter how you choose, finding Peter Pettigrew is a must.
With deep eyes, John rubbed the ring with his fingers. There was a terrible curse in the pitch-black ring. Through the black gemstone, it was like a piece of dark water flowing inside.
