Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 207 Report
After experiencing many worrying things, most people tend to subconsciously divert their attention and stop immersing themselves in distress.

Just like office workers often have a good meal, take a hot bath, or have some fun after working overtime.

All in all, the best ways to distract yourself are to have fun.

Professor McGonagall and the others are like this now.

The emergence of Voldemort, the theft of the Philosopher's Stone, the origin of the mysterious young man, Quirrell's death, Harry Potter's power, Sirius's innocence, and Snape's neurosis had already accumulated a lot of pressure on them.

And the people around them are all acquaintances, old friends who have worked together for many years, so they don't have to suppress these things.

Dumbledore's abnormality aroused their curiosity, and now Dumbledore's expression that appeared on the video made everyone unable to help but complain.

Harry probably didn't understand why Dumbledore was staring at the ceiling after their brief exchange with him.

But the other professors understood that it was not because they had good eyesight or were too familiar with Dumbledore.

The most fundamental reason is that the "Sorcerer's Stone" completely recorded all the scenes in 365 degrees, so Dumbledore's shy expression naturally could not be hidden.

Dumbledore had been prepared for this, so he didn't take Professor McGonagall's complaints seriously.

But Professor Sprout uttered the word that had passed through his mind - confession!
"Can Pomona read minds? But my confession is in double quotation marks." Dumbledore couldn't help but think so the moment he heard it.

"What?" Dumbledore pretended not to understand.

[Sirius Black——Butcher or Hero?
The Ministry of Magic confirmed today:
Sirius Black, long considered the most notorious prisoner ever to have been held in Azkaban Castle, was actually innocent.

On the contrary, Peter Pettigrew, who was recognized as a hero and awarded the First Class Order of Merlin, was the real traitor.

"To be honest, I don't have a very good impression of Black, I even hate him." Snape, the head of Slytherin College, wrote to me before, "But his actions this time made me think he was a hero - killing a friend who betrayed his brother and staying in Azkaban for 10 years for repentance."

The enthusiastic reader also added that after being arrested, Sirius Black had always taken the initiative to admit that he was the murderer of his brother, all for Peter Pettigrew's elderly mother.

Peter Pettigrew had to betray James Potter because of his family.

Sirius killed the traitor and considered his family, but he didn't consider himself!

You have to know that he is the heir of the ancient Black family, handsome and rich.

If he wanted, he wouldn't have to go to jail.

Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge said this morning: "This is all the fault of old Crouch, who had previously protected his Death Eater son. He knew Sirius was innocent, but because the murderer was already dead, for the sake of his own merits and the position of Minister of Magic, he arrested the innocent Sirius and put him in Azkaban without a trial."

"After investigation, it was found that his subordinates at the time were also involved. We will investigate the matter thoroughly."

Some members of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement criticised Fudge for spreading the news of Black's innocence, which damaged the Ministry's reputation.

Fudge, who was easily irritated, said: "Oh, I have to do this. Don't you know? Black is innocent. This is a mistake made by the Ministry of Magic. We cannot be afraid to admit mistakes because of our reputation. I must be worthy of my position as Minister of Magic and cannot let down the people who elected me. In addition, Peter Pettigrew's Sir Merlin, First Class, will be changed to Sirius Black. To be honest, what you said at this juncture makes me wonder if you also had a hand in this." "You know, old Crouch was the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement before. I doubt that this unjust case was not done by him alone."

So, what is the truth behind this case?

Fortunately, many enthusiastic readers were willing to provide information, allowing the author to learn the ins and outs of this incident.

It is reported that this happened 11 years ago, before Harry Potter was born.

James Potter, a member of Dumbledore's group, took refuge in his old house for his family, which was protected by a sophisticated spell called the Fidelius Charm.

This is the magical concealment of a secret within the soul of a living person. The secret is hidden in the heart of the chosen person, or the secret keeper, and it will never be discovered again - unless, of course, the secret keeper deliberately reveals it.

As long as the Secret-Keeper refused to speak, the You-Know-Who would never find them even if he searched the village where the Potters had lived for many years, not even if he pressed his nose against the glass window outside their living room!
So the question is - who is the secret keeper?

James Potter, like Dumbledore, was a clique-like person - that clique was called the Marauders.

Two of the members of the hijackers were Sirius and Peter.

This is also why the original secret-keeper was Sirius Black. The two of them got along best and liked to play tricks on others - including the enthusiastic reader Snape mentioned above.

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix knew who the secret-keeper was, which was why no one from Dumbledore or his small group spoke up for him.

However, according to a letter from an enthusiastic reader, the arrogant James Potter was suspicious of his friend Sirius, believing that he was unreliable given his background.

He kept it a secret from everyone else, excluding Sirius of course, and replaced it with Peter who had an old mother.

In the end, we know the result, Peter had to betray Sirius after he killed his friend and avenged James Potter.

He just had no thoughts of rebirth and kept repenting why he didn't reject James Potter's arrogant suggestion.

Ah, what a noble man! 】

In addition, there were two photos of Sirius in the middle of the newspaper.

One was after he had been in prison for many years. His face was sunken, with only his eyes showing a hint of life. Combined with his waxy white skin, he looked like a vampire. His face was not moving at all. If it weren't for the beard blown by the wind in the photo, someone who didn't know would have thought it was a photo from the Muggle world.

The other photo was taken when he was still in Hogwarts. He often had a nonchalant look on his face, but this did not make him look frivolous. Instead, it made him look handsome and unrestrained. His slightly arrogant face gave people a sense of conquest.

Ryan flipped through the newspaper, chuckling from time to time.

The development of this world is really becoming more and more interesting. It would be so interesting if Peter Pettigrew could become a mouse. It would be so interesting when Sirius found out that Scabbers was angrily casting magic on him, only to find out that it was just a real mouse.
