Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

Lady Pomfrey fed him more than ten kinds of potions over the past two days, and after seeing that he was able to jump around again, she kicked him out of bed.

Dumbledore smiled and said to Harry, "Calm down, Harry. Everything is as Eric just said. Sirius is not the one who betrayed your parents."

Harry looked a little embarrassed.

After all, before he fell into a coma, he still regarded Sirius as an enemy.

It's quite difficult to change this mindset all at once.

Harry said, "Professor... I didn't mean to, but..."

“I understand, Harry,” Dumbledore said, then pulled a round object from behind him. “I brought this out of the Headmaster’s office so you would believe me.”

Sirius exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the Pensieve?"

Dumbledore nodded: "Yes."

Harry asked, "What is a Pensieve?"

Eric explained from the side, "It's a magical item that allows you to delve into other people's memories."

The Pensieve is shaped like a large disc filled with water. Amazingly, no matter how it is turned upside down or shaken, the water will not spill out.

Dumbledore nodded and said to Sirius, "Now that I've brought out the Pensieve, would you like to...?"

"of course."

Sirius Black took out his wand, touched it to his temple, and then pulled hard, drawing out a thin, silvery-white thread that floated in the air from his mind and placing it into the Pensieve.

The next moment, the once crystal-clear Pensieve was as if ink had been splashed on it, with countless gray ink slicks rising from its surface and a bright white light shining from it.

Those are Sirius's memories.

Dumbledore asked Eric, "Would you like to come along?"

Eric waved his hand: "I'll pass."

Dumbledore didn't take it seriously, beckoned to Harry, and said, "Come on, Harry, come with me."

Harry, confused, got out of bed and went to Dumbledore's side.

Dumbledore dipped his head into the Pensieve, startling Harry, but at Eric's prompting, Harry followed suit and lowered his head into the water.

Then, Harry saw Sirius's memories from back then...

He saw Godric's Hollow, where his deceased parents lived; he saw his former home reduced to ruins; he saw Sirius chasing after Peter; he saw Peter destroying an entire street with a spell; and Sirius stood there, lost and forlorn…

These are all based on Sirius Black's personal experiences.

Although the memories placed in the Pensieve by wizards can be altered, such accusations seem completely unnecessary to Sirius.

Because Harry could feel that ultimate, most sincere emotion from this memory.

A few minutes later, when Harry and Dumbledore returned to real life, Harry's face was covered in tears.

Dumbledore said to Harry, who had come to his senses, "Sirius is your godfather, Harry. He is indeed your family."

“Let’s go, Professor,” Eric said softly to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded and walked out of the infirmary with Eric, leaving Harry and Sirius alone.

It's better for them to leave during these private, intimate moments.

……

That very night, three days after the Aurors were attacked by the dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest.

The Ministry of Magic issued an official statement and held a series of press conferences.

The British Ministry of Magic has characterized the attack in the Forbidden Forest as a premeditated attack against government officials.

The Ministry of Magic has been interrogating all suspects involved in the incident, including Peter and the three dark wizards, including the Mole.

During the trial, the Ministry of Magic invited Eric, as well as the Director of Law Enforcement, Amelia Bones, to attend.

Both testified that they heard Peter admit that he was the one who framed and betrayed the James Potters.

As for truth serum?

Naturally, no one admitted to seeing Peter take truth serum.

Peter's every word and action stemmed from his inner desires.

No one forced him by any means.

Given the prevailing trend, Fudge didn't interfere.

Despite his current infamy, he still went through the trial process for Peter and others without hesitation.

Through the Ministry of Magic's efforts, Peter, the Mole, and others were found guilty and immediately sent to Azkaban.

The term of imprisonment is life.

Sirius Black was also restored to his honor and all his personal rights by the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic handled Sirius Black's case with as little attention as possible.

Neither Sirius's actions were commended, nor was any investigation conducted into how he escaped Azkaban.

Thanks to the Ministry of Magic's underhanded handling of the matter, the secret that Sirius Black is an Animagus was not exposed.

To those with a keen eye, the Ministry of Magic's attitude was quite strange.

After all, the Ministry of Magic could easily promote Sirius Black as an iconic figure.

Fouché could also use this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the ministers who came before him.

But the Ministry of Magic did absolutely nothing.

Ultimately, this outcome was caused by internal power struggles within the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge's prestige was never enough to keep the rest of the Ministry of Magic in check.

Now that the attack he orchestrated has resulted in heavy casualties among the Aurors, the responsibility naturally falls on Fudge's shoulders.

Naturally, Fudge's words carried even less weight.

Within the Ministry of Magic, there are now several factions that maintain only a superficial peace with each other.

Apart from Minister Fauci.

Director of Legal Enforcement, Amelie Bones;

Scrinker, head of the Auror's office;

Barty Crouch, Director of the International Magical Exchange and Cooperation Division.

These people are all formidable, each with their own power base.

The Ministry of Magic is now like an ancient tree, with its branches and roots intertwined and impossible to unravel.

It was common for Fudge's orders to go unheeded.

So the matter of dealing with Sirius Black remained at a stalemate.

Fortunately, Sirius didn't care about these things.

He was already very happy to be able to see Peter being sent to Azkaban.

Sirius Black now only wants to stay by his godson Harry's side.

Chapter 151 After June

The Ministry of Magic has released more information than this.

On the other hand, due to the vacancy of Nurmengard, the Ministry of Magic was finally forced to acknowledge Grindelwald's escape.

At the same time, Fudge also announced that the British Ministry of Magic had entered a state of emergency.

During a state of emergency, martial law will be imposed in many areas, and curfews will be implemented in certain critical areas.

The Ministry of Magic's Auror teams will also be stationed at various important locations.

If the situation escalates further, Fudge will have no choice but to declare war.

Following the announcement by the British Ministry of Magic, the other ministries of magic in Europe were also quick to react.

After all, Grindelwald's influence was spread throughout Europe, and Britain was actually the country he penetrated the least.

Grindelwald's case concerns the whole of Europe.

The International Federation of Wizards began holding meetings at an unusually high frequency, and the national ministries of magic were also actively communicating with each other.

Because of this turn of events, Barty Crouch, the director of the International Magical Exchange and Cooperation Division, has suddenly become a very important figure in the Ministry of Magic.

He was originally the previous Director of the Legal Enforcement Division, but was transferred to the Exchange and Cooperation Division because his son was a Death Eater.

The day after the Ministry of Magic announced Grindelwald's escape, as if in response, another attack occurred in Diagon Alley against a dessert shop.

The shop was completely destroyed, and the shop owners, a husband and wife, were killed.

The shop reportedly suffered this misfortune because the owner had made insulting remarks about Grindelwald.

Shortly after the attack, an organization claimed responsibility for the incident, as well as for previous attacks in the Forbidden Forest.

For a time, everyone in the magical world felt threatened.

……

Time flies, and it's already June.

Eric finally enjoyed a few months of peaceful campus life after enrolling in school.

Today, the remnants of Grindelwald's faction have swept across the entire United Kingdom.

Thanks to the reappearance of the Dark Mark, the name Grindelwald has a very strong appeal.

Now, almost all dark wizards have gathered under the name of Grindelwald.

Over the past few months, attacks have occurred from time to time, targeting individuals or officials.

It made everyone uneasy.

The only decent piece of news is that Grindelwald himself has not made an appearance so far.

After escaping from Nurmengard, he seemed to have vanished completely.
