Truth serum, do you think it's that easy to resist?

Especially prisoners who have been imprisoned for nearly 10 years.

Sure enough, Sirius spoke uncontrollably: "I...I mistakenly trusted Peter Pettigrew."

"Damn it, I really dreaded it, how could I trust him?"

"This vile, shameless, filthy, dirty rat."

Hearing this, Fudge, Scrimgeour and other Aurors frowned.

Peter Pettigrew, this is a decorated hero.

Then they heard...

"I should never have passed on the Secret-Keeper's identity to him."

"He betrayed me, betrayed Lily, betrayed James, told the Dark Lord the location of the Secret House."

"I deserve to die, I really deserve to die..."

“…”

Afterwards, Sirius continued to mutter his own damn words.

Or rather, he really thought he deserved to die.

At this moment, Scrimgeour and other Aurors all looked frozen.

Under the truth serum, they could tell whether Sirius was lying or not.

At this moment, cold sweat kept coming out of Fudge's forehead, and he kept wiping it with his right hand.

Oh my god, what did he hear?

The commended Peter Pettigrew was a traitor.

The imprisoned Sirius...

It’s over, it’s over. If this news gets out, the entire wizarding world will be in chaos.

Azkaban was robbed, a large number of Death Eaters, and dark wizards escaped from prison!

Sirius Black, the heir of a pure-blood family, was wrongly convicted and imprisoned for 10 years!

Fudge's head started to feel dizzy at the thought of the possible headlines that might appear in the Daily Prophet.

"It's fake, it's fake." Fudge said hysterically, "Sirius is lying."

"He is the Dark Lord's scheme."

Chapter 425 Sirius, You Don't Want to Leave Harry, Do You?

Ministry of Magic, Office of the Minister.

"Lockhart, I know this is a little unbelievable."

"But at present, the Dark Lord has appeared again, and a large number of Death Eaters have been rescued by him."

"Right now, the Ministry of Magic needs top wizards like you to speak up and boost confidence."

In the bright office, Fudge stood beside Lockhart and kept persuading him.

“Now is the time when we need to unite as one…”

"........"

In order to keep his position, Fudge came up with a plan.

That is to set a new target and divert as much attention away from yourself as possible.

At the same time, if the opponent cooperates, you can also take the opportunity to further stabilize your position.

He first thought of Dumbledore, but gave up when he thought of the threat Dumbledore posed to his position.

Later, it was Lockhart.

Lockhart had always been quite supportive of him, and considering his age, although he had a big reputation, it was not very dangerous to his position.

After all, Lockhart is at most the title of the founder of a meditation method.

But Dumbledore was a great white wizard who had driven away two generations of Dark Lords.

Lockhart stood aside, listening quietly to Fudge's recitation. After a while, he interrupted and asked.

"Minister Fudge, how is the Ministry of Magic handling Sirius's case?"

Fudge's face suddenly changed when he heard Lockhart's question.

Damn, isn't there a specific rule prohibiting disclosure?

Yes, Dumbledore leaked it.

Yes, that must be the case.

Sirius was his, and he must want to rescue Sirius.

Looking at Fudge's changing expression, Lockhart said softly, "Minister Fudge, many people know about this matter."

"There were quite a few Aurors present at the interrogation."

Then, as if as a reminder, he said, "Director Scrimgeour, he has been in the position of Head of the Auror Office for quite a long time."

Hearing this, Fudge's face darkened.

Damn it, he knew it.

Scrimgeour had been eyeing his position for some time.

Then Fudge looked at Lockhart as if he was looking for a lifeline.

The fact that he can stand in the position of Minister of Magic shows that he is definitely not a fool.

Since Lockhart actually said it, it was easy for him to infer that Lockhart must have some ideas.

"Lockhart, what do you think we should do now?"

"I have an idea." Lockhart said calmly, "Sirius's affairs can no longer be concealed. We can only overturn the case."

"And now we need Dumbledore's support."

“But how to overturn the verdict?”

"That's very particular."

...........

Hogwarts, Headmaster's office.

"Principal, I can help you solve Sirius's problem." Lockhart took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "From now on, just let Sirius cooperate with the Daily Prophet."

“I believe there will be no problem in overturning the verdict.”

Hearing this, Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled gently.

"Thank you for your trouble this time, Lockhart. I would like to thank you on behalf of Sirius."

"No need to thank me for this." Lockhart said with a smile: "Don't forget to answer. You promised me."

"My new school library needs a lot of books to fill it up."

"No problem. Knowledge needs to be shared." Dumbledore said gently, "Take my application form and go to the library to make a copy later."

"But Lockhart, let me explain in advance that some books have magical properties, so they are difficult to copy."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded to show that he understood.

Then Dumbledore asked, "By the way, Lockhart, what did Gellert talk to you about?"

"We didn't talk about much." Lockhart explained, "He mainly talked to me about meditation."

"He said he was going to promote the meditation method he had researched in Ilvermorny."

"Let all students start practicing."

"Meditation." Dumbledore muttered to himself, "Gettler, what did you see again?"

........

Hogwarts, infirmary.

The golden sunlight shines through the glass onto the white bed.

Sirius closed his eyes, enjoying the warm sunlight shining on his body.

In Azkaban, sunlight was a rare luxury.

"It's time to take medicine, Sirius." Madam Pomfrey said with pity: "Your body needs good conditioning now."

She had heard about Sirius.

Imprisoned in the hell of Azkaban for nearly 10 years.

She couldn't even imagine what kind of torture Sirius had suffered.

Alas, the traitor turned out to be Peter Pettigrew. Who could have thought of that?

As expected of a Gryffindor student, he is too nitpicking and as stubborn as a donkey.

If I had explained it well before, I might have ended up like this.

Sirius, lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes after hearing what Madam Pomfrey said.

Looking at the various potions on the tray in Madam Pomfrey's hand.

Silence.

He didn't know whether the change in his current situation was good or bad, he just felt a little confused.

Even after getting out of Azkaban, he didn't know what to do next.

And Mrs. Pomfret didn't care what Sirius was thinking.

Without hesitation, he walked forward and fed him the healing potion he had prepared bottle by bottle.

Don't be polite when treating patients.

When you are sick, you should take medicine. After taking the medicine, you should rest and no one should disturb you.

This was Madam Pomfrey's creed.

Soon, after feeding the potion, Madam Pomfrey said a few words of comfort and then turned and left.

And Sirius closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly...

"Harry, this is your godfather, Sirius Black."

"He was very good friends with your father, James, and your mother, Lily."

"Ah, Professor Lockhart, he's...the Godfather!"

A timid voice came to his ears, and Sirius opened his eyes, seeing a somewhat familiar figure beside the bed.

Emerald eyes, childish face, lightning scar...

Lily, James.

I see, this is your child.

"You are...Harry!" Sirius's hoarse voice sounded.

This made Harry, who was standing by, subconsciously take a few steps back.

But when she thought of the other person's identity, she opened her eyes wide and looked carefully at the pale but mature-looking man in front of her.

"You may not have seen me, but I held you in my arms when you were born."

"I am your godfather, Sirius Black."

"Godfather!" Harry said a little at a loss, but he could feel the concern in the other party's words.

However, there was no time for the two to communicate.

Lockhart stepped forward and interrupted, "Sirius, long time no see. I'm Lockhart. There are some things I need to talk to you about."
