Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 976 The tangled Sirius

The same Ministry of Magic, the same second courtroom.

There were more people attending the hearing this time than the first time, and the steps-like seats were packed with people.

Not long after Voldemort fell, there were still a large number of Death Eaters waiting in line for trial. In this period when everyone was very busy, it was hard to imagine that so many members of the Wizengamot would be free to participate in such a event. A hearing that couldn't be any smaller.

But this had nothing to do with Kyle. He still relied on his second-level medal to get the qualification to be an observer this time, and sat quietly on the last row of stone steps.

Coincidentally, sitting next to him was also the first time he met two old wizards at the hearing.

Unlike the others, they seemed to have come specifically to watch the fun and gossip, and they also brought fried melon seeds and a bag of snacks.

"What a coincidence, it's you again." The old wizard next to Kyle smiled and handed over the bag in his hand.

Kyle thought for a while, but didn't refuse and grabbed a small handful of fried melon seeds.

…

Just as I had guessed before coming, this hearing was just a formality. Although there were twice as many people, the hearing was much more efficient than the first time.

Minister of Magic Amelia Bones seemed to be rushing through the process...showing evidence, voting, and confirming the result in one go.

She then announced on the spot that Snape was not a Death Eater and dropped all Death Eater charges against him.

Bones also praised Snape, saying he was cool-headed, resourceful, and brave, and promised to help him nominate for the Order of Merlin.

Kyle couldn't help but want to laugh, saying that a Slytherin student was brave and fearless... wasn't this really a curse?

As for the Order of Merlin...Kyle felt that she probably just said it casually. After all, Snape did not side with Dumbledore from the beginning.

Just because he revealed the prophecy, it would be impossible to receive the Order of Merlin.

But Snape didn't care. He just wanted an identity that he could stand on the bright side... This was what Dumbledore promised him.

So he was still very satisfied with the result.

As soon as the results came out, he quickly left his seat and took Kangna outside without giving anyone a chance to come forward and talk.

In fact, his behavior was inappropriate, but Minister Bones just pretended that he didn't see anything and pretended to lower his head to find something. When Snape almost grabbed the door handle with one hand, she raised her head in time and announced The hearing is over.

Someone stood up quickly, but by this time, Snape had already walked out of the room.

When he opened the door, he saw the complicated face of Sirius... He had been waiting outside.

Snape showed a look of undisguised disgust, as if someone had thrown a disgusting mess on the ground.

The next second, Sirius showed the same expression tacitly.

I couldn't remember anything I wanted to say before, so I just said, "You're lucky, you snot-nosed person."

He knew that Snape was fine. If he was identified as a Death Eater, he would only be escorted by Aurors and would not be able to get out on his own.

"Oh, you dirty stupid dog." Snape retorted unwillingly.

Neither of them stopped, and Sirius didn't mean to stop him. They just watched him walk into the elevator.

When some people chased them out, the elevator just started, taking Snape and Connor away from this floor.

Sirius did not leave in a hurry, but waited outside for a while.

Mr. Weasley had just told him that Molly had gone to King's Cross station to pick up Harry, so he was in no hurry to go back.

After a few unrelated people, Amelia Bones came out of the house and nodded to Sirius as a greeting.

Then came Professor McGonagall. It was obvious that she felt relieved. After this time, Snape's matter was completely over.

This was her first time acting as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and it was considered a complete success.

"Sirius..." Professor McGonagall looked at him, "Why are you here? Is it also because of Severus' memory?"

"Yes." Sirius nodded, "I heard that this memory is related to James Lily."

"Then why don't you go in."

"I wasn't invited," Sirius said casually.

Professor McGonagall didn't say much. There were indeed many people at this hearing. This was the first time she saw that there were not enough seats in the courtroom. Even Kyle, who was holding a medal, almost couldn't get in.

"Okay, so what do you know when you come here?"

"It was before, but now..." Sirius paused for a moment before continuing: "I heard some content, and I came here just to confirm whether it was true or not. Now I know it."

Sirius' voice was very soft. He had been looking for the person who leaked the prophecy. After knowing that person was Snape, his hatred reached its peak.

But later he learned that Snape had been protecting Harry all these years.

This behavioral contradiction caused him to fall into the same tangle as Harry, not knowing what attitude to use to face Snape.

But just now, Snape helped him make a choice.

At this time, another wave of people came out.

"Hey, Kyle!" Sirius waved his hand and took the opportunity to change the subject: "Minerva, Molly has prepared a sumptuous dinner. To celebrate the graduation of Harry and Ron, you can come too. How about it, everyone? It will definitely be a pleasure.”

"I'm afraid Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley won't be happy if I also participate." Professor McGonagall said half-jokingly.

She was very aware of the grudge between Sirius and Snape, but Sirius didn't want to talk about it and she pretended not to know.

This matter is too complicated, and even Dumbledore might not be able to come up with a perfect solution here.

Professor McGonagall left the Ministry of Magic, and Kyle came over after hearing someone calling him.

"Sirius? Didn't you pick up Harry?"

"Molly has gone." Sirius said. He was silent for a moment before suddenly asking: "This hearing...so he is fine, right?"

There were things he didn't want to say to Minerva McGonagall, who was the Headmistress of Hogwarts, but Kyle was fine with that.

Sirius couldn't tell why, maybe it was because of the unusual experience... Kyle not only helped him clear his grievances, but also brought back his brother Regulus from the cliff cave.

This also brought Sirius' trust in Kyle to a very high level.

And Kyle was smart enough, certified by Dumbledore, the former headmaster had said so more than once.

Subconsciously, he also wanted Kyle to help with advice.

"Well... you can put it that way." Kyle glanced at him, "Do you still want to avenge them?"

Sirius said nothing, just lowered his head.

Kyle didn't urge him and just led him to a place where there weren't many people.

The afternoon sunlight streamed in from outside the enchanted window, illuminating half of Sirius' face slantingly.

After a long time, he asked: "Do you think I should take revenge?"

"I must say, you asked the wrong person." Kyle shrugged, "You know, Snape is Connor's only uncle, and it's hard for me to be fair and impartial in this matter." "So I That's why I came to ask you..." Sirius blurted out, but quickly closed his mouth again.

"Actually, I suggest you ask Harry." Kyle said.

"Harry is still young..."

"He is already an adult wizard." Kyle said, "Besides...Sirius, I personally think Harry is more qualified to make this decision than you."

Sirius looked up.

"I know you don't think so, but that's how I see it.

"Harry suffered a lot of rejection and hardship in the Dursley family. His mind is much more mature than that of his peers. Although he has many shortcomings, his flaws cannot be concealed."

"As for you, Sirius...for the so-called atonement or self-punishment, you abandoned your godson and were willing to be imprisoned in Azkaban.

"To be honest, I still can't figure out how you made this decision. To use Snape's catchphrase, do you have any troll blood?"

"Hey, I'm a serious Black!" Sirius said in an exaggerated voice.

But it is not difficult to tell from his white and sometimes red face that he is not in a calm mood now.

Maybe he couldn't understand why he didn't think about what Harry would do...

When he heard that the Dursleys had treated Harry badly, he almost came to the door with his wand and cast a few blasting spells on them. At the same time, he even wanted to cast a few blasting spells on himself.

"Go and discuss it with Harry. It's better than being in a dilemma here by yourself." Kyle said again.

This time, Sirius nodded.

He took a deep breath and said, "Kyle, you should also prepare to go home later, to St. Catchpol Village."

"That's right," Kyle said.

Speaking of which, he found that he had not been home for a long time. Now that Voldemort was dead and the crisis was over, he naturally wanted to go back and have a look.

The two walked into the elevator.

"Are you going back to Number Twelve Grimmauld Place?"

"No, I'm coming too. Molly has prepared a celebration dinner, and I have to rush back to attend."

"At the Burrow?"

"There are more people there," Sirius said. "I think Harry would also like that atmosphere."

Arriving at the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, the two went to the room opposite the fireplace and apparated back to the village of St. Catchpole.

…

The area around the Burrow was very lively, and the sounds of the Weasley family playing and playing could be heard in the distance. Fred and George's voices were the most obvious, and Harry was among them, fighting goblins with Ron.

This game has been played since Kyle started school and is still a popular activity in the Weasley household.

Sirius looked at the excited Harry in the garden and suddenly became a little hesitant, standing there without moving forward.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Sirius hesitated, "I was just thinking, does Harry really want to make this decision?"

"Who knows." Kyle shrugged.

"Then let me find him."

"I'm just saying that if you want revenge, you'd better ask Harry for his thoughts first." Kyle said word by word, "My focus is on you, not Harry!"

"You...I..." Sirius stared at Kyle blankly, speechless.

"Of course, as a friend, it's not like I won't help you...

"Let's do this. If you finally reach an agreement and want revenge, I can give you Snape's address."

Sirius paused.

"Why, you're not worried that I killed Snape... If Connor knows that you gave us the address, how will you face her?"

"You think too much." Kyle waved his hand indifferently.

"Are you so confident that you think Kangna won't blame you?" Sirius laughed. “Confidence is a good thing, but being overconfident is not.”

"No, I'm sure of this..." Kyle looked at him, "Anyway, even if I tell you the address, you can't be Snape's opponent, so what does it matter."

Sirius paused, and his expression instantly became serious.

Kyle has touched his reverse scale, bottom line, and principle!

"You said I can't beat that snot-nosed guy?" Sirius danced and gestured on the spot, "I can hang him up and beat him!"

"Hey... don't be shameless." Kyle glanced at him, "Even if we are friends, you can't insult my IQ like this."

"You don't believe it?" Sirius screamed and took out his wand, "Here, tell me your address now, and see if I can hang him up and beat him!"

His voice was loud and soon alerted Harry and the Weasley children, who all ran towards him.

"Hang it up...if you are referring to the curse of hanging the golden clock upside down, it was invented by Snape."

Sirius seemed to have been punched by someone, and he was speechless.

"He invented at least five magic spells before he graduated. How about you..." Kyle punched him again.

"I, I know Animagus."

"I'm referring to the self-created spell...well, let's consider this round a draw." Kyle said casually.

"Then during the twelve years you wasted in Azkaban, Snape became the youngest headmaster of Hogwarts.

"Do you think a weak wizard can be unanimously recognized by everyone in Slytherin College?"

"Also, he openly surrendered to Dumbledore, but he was able to successfully join the Death Eaters again after Voldemort came back. You don't think Voldemort is a fool, and you didn't doubt Snape at all.

"But nothing happened to him. Could you do it if it were you?"

With every word Kyle said, Sirius turned paler.

He knew he couldn't do it.

He also knew that he might really not be able to defeat Snape. It was already rare that his strength did not regress after coming out of Azkaban.

Although his strength has improved a lot in the past few years while fighting Death Eaters, Snape also did not stand still, and he was even under greater pressure.

Even if Harry was added, they might not be Snape's opponents, but he didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to admit it.

"I said this to help you find a step." Kyle looked at him, smiled, turned around and walked towards his home.
