Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Harry then briefly recounted the whole incident.

[Ved: I understand. I will find someone to help you. Wait patiently.]

Vader thought for a moment and contacted the school's house-elf -

【Vade: Guys, who's free now? 】

Chapter 312 With a sentence

【McGee: McGee! McGee has time! 】

[Zoe: McGee is lying! McGee hasn't finished cleaning the Slytherin common room yet! Zoe has time.]

【Phil: Phil is here! 】

[Happi: Hobby is happy to help Mr. Weed Grey. What do you want, Mr. Grey? ]

A series of messages popped up quickly, and then McGee and Zoe started arguing through the parchment.

The argument was interrupted by Vader's message.

[Wade: Does anyone know where Dumbledore went? ]

The news went quiet for a while.

After a while, Wade saw the reply:

[McGee: McGee can't tell Principal Weed Grey where he went. But McGee heard that there is a trial in the Wizengamot today.]

—So Dumbledore won't have time to spare until the trial is over?

Wade thought to himself.

In the original plot, it seemed that Dumbledore was always absent every time Harry Potter encountered difficulties and dangers.

Or you could put it this way - if Dumbledore hadn't been busy, Fudge wouldn't have come to arrest someone.

Once Sirius was really taken away by them, even Dumbledore would not be able to break into the Ministry of Magic or Azkaban and rescue Sirius.

By then, they could only find a way to go through the long legal process, or catch Peter Pettigrew and others to prove that Sirius had nothing to do with their prison break.

But Wade knew that the latter was impossible to do, because Peter Petillo had already died in the sea and his body was nowhere to be found.

The laws of the British Ministry of Magic are very imperfect, and some regulations are self-contradictory. It is better to hope that Fudge will suddenly lose interest in the position of Minister of Magic and Dumbledore will become the Minister of Magic than to expect these things to prove the unreasonableness of arresting Sirius.

Just then, Harry sent another message -

[Harry: Sirius is in Animagus form now. If the Ministry of Magic can't find anyone, will they give up? ]

[Vade: They must have been sure that Sirius was at home, so they came to the house. If they searched the house and found nothing, they would definitely suspect the obvious black dog.]

[Vade: The Animagus form is similar to the real person. As long as the wizard is careful, he can recognize it. Don't take any chances. This is why Remus wants to stop them from searching.]

As Vader wrote these words, he thought to himself:

Rats and beetles can hide easily, but a big black dog is unlikely to do so.

It's a pity that they left the Vanishing Cabinet in the house in Hogsmeade... No, such a large Vanishing Cabinet is too obvious and will be noticed at a glance...

We also can't let Zoe and the others take Sirius away... Sirius can also Apparate himself, but this kind of magic makes a lot of noise and will be discovered immediately.

Sirius escaped by himself, so Remus Lupin, who stopped the people from the Ministry of Magic, should be held responsible for it.

And if Fudge and the others were smart enough, they might have set up an anti-Apparition spell in the area by now.

After thinking for a long time, Wade gradually came up with an idea.

[Vade: Harry, tell Sirius...]

The words on the paper unfolded one by one, and Harry gradually opened his eyes, as if the door to a new world had been opened.

The black dog was staring at Fudge with a death gaze. Suddenly, something moved in the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw Harry hiding in the corner of the corridor, waving at him secretly.

Sirius hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over under Harry's urgent gaze.

When he stood up, a dark-skinned bald Auror moved his fingers, as if he wanted to raise his wand, but he hesitated and finally did not move.

Sirius came into the room and Harry showed him the words on the parchment that had not yet disappeared.

……

On the other side, Wade turned back to the page about contacting the house-elves.

[Vader: Can any of you Apparate from England to America? I need to return to England as soon as possible.]

This kind of magic is too dangerous. Although Vader has read a lot of theory, he has not yet started to formally learn it.

The adult wizards around him were also intentionally or unintentionally delaying his learning progress, as if they were worried that he would rashly separate his head.

The longer the distance of Apparition, the more difficult it is, and a single mistake could result in separation, serious injury, or even death.

Skilled wizards could even Apparate between continents, but apart from Dumbledore, Wade didn't know anyone else who could do that.

The shortest distance between the UK and the US is three to four thousand kilometres, which makes it impossible for many wizards to move across using Apparition.

Portkeys are of course very useful and the spell is very simple, but making portkeys also requires advanced magic.

[Zoe: Zoe has not tried such a long distance. Even if Zoe can do it... Zoe dare not move with Vid Grey. Without sufficient ability, it may cause serious damage. ]

The other house-elves also said that this was beyond their capabilities.

Just when Wade thought he could only take a flight an hour later, McGee sent another message -

【McGee: But MacGee knows someone who can... Ralph can definitely do it. 】

【Happy: Yes, Ralph can! Go find Ralph for help! 】

They didn't write any more, probably because they all went to look for Ralph, who was said to be the oldest house-elf.

Vader was a little worried, not every house-elf was happy to help, and this was clearly beyond their scope of responsibility.

He was worried that Ralph would not only be unwilling to help, but would even punish Zoe and the others because their behavior violated the rules of the Hogwarts house-elves.

Fortunately, a few minutes later, Wade saw the reply.

[Zoe: This is Ralph, he can help. Where is Mr. Grey now? ]

……

Fudge gradually became impatient with Lupin's obstruction, and his tone began to become unfriendly.

"Remus, I'm only saying this because I think you're a friend - if you continue to hinder our official business, then I have to suspect that you have an unusual relationship with someone."

"I heard that you were good friends with Peter Petillo when you were in school?"

"They have all been to Azkaban. Do you want to try going in as well?"

Lupin's face turned pale, but he still insisted, "If you think Sirius is involved in the prison break, please show us the evidence instead of just suspecting him out of thin air!"

"Isn't that what I was just about to investigate? If it weren't for you, we might have already got the evidence!"

Fudge snorted coldly, pushed Lupin away, and was about to walk inside when his eyes suddenly lit up.

The tall man in black walked out of the bedroom behind Lupin with an impatient look on his face.

"Sirius Black!"

Fudge shouted in surprise, then said seriously: "Regarding Peter Pettigrew's escape, we need your cooperation in the investigation... Of course, if it is proved that you have nothing to do with this incident, we will release you and express our full apology..."

"Sirius!" Lupin whispered grimly.

"Relax, man!"

Sirius patted him on the back, walked over to Fudge, looked ready to surrender, and said in a low voice:

"I can go with you, Minister. But I am asked to bring you a message—"

Chapter 313 Shadows and Messages

After the words were spoken in a very low voice, Lupin, who had a keen sense of hearing, widened his eyes in astonishment, and Fudge opened Sirius' hand with a "whoosh", as if he was scalded.

His face turned pale in an instant, and he stared at Sirius in horror, his small eyes flickering in suspicion, as if he saw some terrible shadow through him.

Beside him, the dark-skinned bald wizard had a solemn expression on his face. He looked at Sirius with inquiring eyes, as if he wanted to see through his flesh and blood and see the soul inside.

Sirius smiled calmly and stretched out his hand again: "Minister, you can take me away."

Fudge stepped back as if the hands were a pair of poisonous snakes. He stammered:

"Ah...you...this...arrest...I think...I think there are still some unclear points in this matter. We can't blindly arrest innocent people..."

Lupin had been staring at Sirius in shock, but he immediately shifted his attention upon hearing that and was almost amused by Fudge's evasive words.

——That’s not what Fudge said when he was arguing with him before!

He swore solemnly, almost saying that Sirius was the one who planned everything and was a dark wizard who was hiding deeply. Not arresting him would be an insult to the people of the wizarding world and to the dead James and Lily.

Lupin was almost morally kidnapped by him.

As a result, Fudge just stammered a few words, turned around and left quickly with a group of Aurors.

Only then did Lupin have time to think about what he had heard.

He frowned and looked at his friend, questioningly: "Sirius, what you just said..."

"You'll have to ask Harry about that."

The momentum that Sirius put on disappeared in an instant, and he nodded, signaling the boy who was sticking his head out from behind the door.

"Ved taught me that!"

Harry blinked his eyes, looking innocent: "I didn't know it would be so effective."

"Yeah, yeah, Fudge just ran away! Such a coward! I don't know how he became Minister!"

Sirius was a little happy, and then he said gloomily: "If I really knew where the rat was, I would grind that guy to ashes without them telling me!"

Lupin had become accustomed to Sirius's recent moody temper - ever since the news of Peter Pettigrew's escape from prison came, Sirius had been going out early and coming back late every day, trying to catch the traitor.

As time went by, there was no news about the three people, especially Peter Pettigrew. Everyone suspected that the man must have learned from his previous lesson and turned into a rat to hide in Muggle society.

The world is so big that it is almost impossible to find a mere mouse.
