The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

After the Aurors left, the professors finally put down their burdens and began to clean up the situation at Hogwarts.

It was clear that it would take some time for Hogwarts to return to normal order.

As for the students affected by this chaos, it will take them a longer time to return to their normal pace of life and study.

"You guessed what was going to happen, didn't you?"

Snape stared at Dumbledore and said, "Just like Sirius did back then."

"I don't really understand what you are talking about."

Dumbledore didn't want to answer this question, but Snape didn't want to miss it.

Originally, Sirius' life or death had nothing to do with Snape. Even if he died in Azkaban, Snape would not feel sad at all.

But it’s different when it comes to Peter Pettigrew.

Peter Pettigrew was an enemy that Snape had to kill as soon as possible. He was the direct murderer of Lily. Snape could not accept not killing such a person or even allowing him to appear again.

The reason why Snape now suspects Dumbledore is ultimately because what happened to Sirius was too strange.

What exactly happened back then?

After learning that James and Lily's son Harry Potter had become the target of the Dark Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore advised James to use the Fidelius Charm and go into hiding.

This spell requires the appointment of a secret keeper, whose soul will be bound to the secret of the caster. As long as the secret keeper does not reveal the secret himself, the secret will not be discovered even if he dies.

If the secret is a location, then that location will be invisible and undetectable.

James Potter originally intended to appoint Sirius as the Secret-Keeper, and Dumbledore agreed to this.

But before the incident, Sirius Black temporarily asked James to change his mind and designate Peter Pettigrew as the secret keeper because Peter was the most timid among their friends and Voldemort would not target him.

This is where the problem lies. Peter Pettigrew had already become Voldemort's spy, and this temporary change in plan led to the tragic deaths of James and Lily.

On the other hand, all members of the Order of the Phoenix knew that James had appointed Sirius as the secret keeper. With things developing like this, Sirius would of course settle accounts with Peter to prove his innocence and avenge his friend.

But when the furious Sirius found Peter, he didn't expect that he had stepped into a trap that had been set long ago. Peter quickly killed many Muggles around him with an ancient explosion spell.

He then cut off a finger of his right hand and left it at the scene, then used his Animagus ability to transform into a rat and escape.

When Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge and the Aurors arrived, Sirius was laughing mockingly at what was happening before his eyes.

Sirius Black has always had some neurotic problems, which is inseparable from the fact that his family has always practiced inbreeding in order to maintain pure blood.

So based on the traces and evidence left at the scene, Fudge and the others believed that he had betrayed James and Lily after going completely crazy, and later found Peter Pettigrew.

A thunderbolt blast destroyed his body and affected 12 nearby Muggles. Sirius was held by the Aurors for several days before being sent to Azkaban.

There are still countless unreasonable aspects of this matter to this day.

First of all, the Flashback Charm is not a difficult spell. Whether Sirius used the Thunderbolt Explosion or not can be determined by simply using the Flashback Charm. At least it is evidence that can be used as a reference.

Secondly, Sirius had no reason to betray the Potter family. At that time, he had already broken with the family because of their attitude towards Mudbloods. James and Lily were like his family, and Dumbledore was also aware of this.

Finally, and most importantly.

The Ministry of Magic skipped the trial procedure and sent Sirius directly to Azkaban. The reason given was simply that Sirius was crazy and there was no need for trial. This procedural violation was the only one in the history of the Ministry of Magic.

Originally, Snape thought that the Ministry of Magic was trying to take credit for this matter, resolve the incident as quickly as possible, and then let Sirius take the blame.

But now a similar situation has occurred, which makes Snape wonder whether there is any hidden story behind Sirius's experience back then.

For example, if Sirius was not in Azkaban, would he compete with the Dursleys for custody of Harry?

The Dursleys would definitely give him up directly, and Sirius would raise Harry seriously, but in this way the magic in Harry would not be able to be triggered.

Snape was about to say something, but Dumbledore spoke first.

"Severus, I don't think this is a matter of concern to you."

"Killing Peter Pettigrew may allow you to partially avenge yourself, but it won't allow you to completely avenge yourself. It may even make it more difficult for you to lurk around him in the future."

"For the sake of our ultimate goal, please be patient for now."

Snape was silent for a long time before he said, "I have certainly not forgotten my goal, but I just hope... forget it."

Snape laughed at himself. He really had no right to say anything more.

As for what happened to Peter Pettigrew, shouldn't Harry be the one who should be most skeptical about it?

This is indeed the case. Harry was also muttering Peter Pettigrew's name in his dream.

Because he had already investigated and knew what happened that year.

At least that was the truth as reported in the Daily Prophet, written from the Ministry's perspective.

That is, the hero Peter Pettigrew was killed by the shameful traitor Sirius, but now Peter Pettigrew is still alive. So what is going on?

It’s a pity that Harry has lost consciousness now, so he can only put this question in his heart for the time being.

Dolly was in the school hospital and saw familiar people taking their places one by one.

After confirming that everyone was alive, Dolly breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally wanted to help Madam Pomfrey take care of the wounded, but was pushed to the bed by Madam Pomfrey to rest.

In the end, Hermione and Qiu Zhang arrived to help Madam Pomfrey, allowing her to take care of everyone in time.

"how is she?"

Dolly looked at Madam Pomfrey and asked about Luna's condition.

Although I already know that Luna’s life is unlikely to be in danger, I still want a good answer.

"She's lost a lot of magic and vitality. This is caused by some kind of cursed magic. It's very troublesome."

Madam Pomfrey said bluntly, "But fortunately, the situation has not reached the worst point."

"For the next six months, she needs to rest well and take potions continuously every day. She should be back to normal by the end of the year."

"It will basically not affect her future life. You must remember to urge her to take her medication."

The three girls nodded immediately.

Although she still didn't know why Luna became like this, and Dolly didn't know why Luna was holding the diary, she still wrote down what Madam Pomfrey said.

"As for them..."

Madam Pomfrey looked at the unconscious Harry and his companions and said, "They are only superficial injuries. Once they have recovered their strength, I will give them some bone-growing spirits tonight. They will be back to normal after one night."

Dolly was also completely relieved.

Although she knew that Harry and his friends were protected by the Hogwarts Crew and were much safer than her, Dolly still subconsciously cared about her brother.

Maybe this is Dolly taking on the role of the older sister.

After all, as the protagonist, although Harry is cared for and loved by many people, his experience is indeed difficult enough.

"Now it's your turn."

Hermione crossed her arms and glared at Dolly.

Dolly was stunned and said, "I'm fine, not even a scratch."

"No, I don't believe it's that simple."

Qiu Zhang also stood beside Hermione this time and asked Dolly to tell her the whole process.

Dolly pursed her lips, wondering whether she should simplify it. After all, confronting Voldemort was too dangerous and exceeded the level they should face now.

But Hermione's next words dispelled Dolly's thoughts: "We will ask Luna later. If your statement is different, then you are lying to us."

Dolly immediately raised her hands in surrender, but at the same time said that she had to go back to the dormitory before she could talk about this.

So in the evening, Dolly left the school hospital and returned to the dormitory to rest.

Dolly also talked about the process of confronting Voldemort. When Hermione and Qiu Zhang heard Avada Kedavra, their faces turned pale.

Qiu Zhang's body trembled and he almost fainted.

"Well, I'm standing here perfectly fine! Avada Kedavra is indeed terrifying, but it's meaningless if it can't hit me."

Hermione pressed Dolly's shoulders and said, "How dare you say such things! Can't you wait for the professors to go together? Why do you always have to be the one to take the spotlight?"

"Or, take us with you!"

Dolly said with a wry smile: "Isn't this an emergency?"

"When I rushed over, Luna was already in danger. I saved Luna. Shouldn't everyone be happy?"

"But what if you die?"

Qiu Zhang lowered his head, his forehead almost touching Dolly's, and asked Dolly in calm words, but his dark eyes were full of doubts about Dolly.

Dolly was speechless for a moment, and Qiu Zhang said: "If you die, I will go and avenge you."

"If I can't kill the enemy, at least I want to die at the hands of the same enemy as you."

Dolly quickly waved her hand to stop Qiu Zhang from continuing, saying, "That's too much. Don't talk about death. I never want to die."

"And what you're saying, this is some kind of classic love suicide!"

Dolly was just trying to make a joke, but Qiu Zhang looked at her calmly.

Although she did not deny Dolly's words, her dark, shining eyes were filled with her own determination.

"me too!"

Seeing this, Hermione thought it was not a good time to disrupt the atmosphere, so she took the initiative to join in.

"And next time I'm going to act with you, understand? If you abandon me again, Qiu Zhang and I will ignore you for a whole semester!"

Dolly's scalp suddenly went numb.

Ignoring her for a semester meant that she couldn't get into Hermione's bed, and she couldn't play games of touching, pinching, or even licking.

For Dolly, who had just started, this was tantamount to torture.

So Dolly immediately promised that she would never charge into battle alone again, which calmed Hermione and Qiu Zhang down a little.

However, although Dolly said this.

If she really had to face Voldemort and his extremely dangerous Death Eaters, Dolly would still be at the forefront.

After all, she can still dodge the spell, but her companions behind her probably don't have this ability.

Dolly still remembers the scene in the original movie where Sirius was suddenly hit by Avada Kedavra, and then lost his soul and floated into the veil of death.

Death was something Dolly felt heartbroken by, even if she just imagined Hermione, Qiu Zhang, and Luna dying.

Especially Luna...

Dolly felt her cheeks warm up when she thought of Big Luna kissing her first.

What on earth was that scene all about?

Logically speaking, her relationship with Luna should be the most distant, right?

After all, they are not in the same grade, and they don’t even have many opportunities to play together.

So was Luna moved by her cobbled-together little poem, or was she moved by Dory saving her?

Although these two items are reasonable, it seems...not necessary to go to this extent.

Dolly was really curious.

What made Dolly most curious was that she might not be able to talk about this topic with Luna afterwards.

After all, discussing this topic with Luna now seems a bit like harassment.

Forget it, let’s not think about this matter for now.

It will take a long time for Luna to recover, and Dolly decided to take better care of Luna in the future.

This is definitely not because of Luna's kiss, but because...well, they are already partners in life and death, right? (Shocked)

"So, is the matter of the Chamber of Secrets really over?"

After everyone settled down, Qiu Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"It seems like there have always been a lot of unexpected situations at Hogwarts in the past two years."

Dolly nodded, thinking to herself, "This is just the beginning. The situation will get more intense every year."

Now that Peter Pettigrew has been arrested, I wonder if Sirius will escape from prison.

It felt like it wasn't a big deal, because after Peter Pettigrew was arrested, it was more likely that Sirius knew he was still alive.
