I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Hiding the man, John took back his wand and pretended not to see Snape's half-smile.

Use the Transfiguration spell to create a prison. Magic comes in handy.

Sirius was locked inside, completely cut off from any possible contact with the outside world.

To prevent escape, John also used surveillance magic.

Anyone who tried to open the door would be discovered.

After doing everything, John used the spring to summon water to wake Sirius up.

...

Chapter 160 The Truth and the Truth

The wizarding world feels like it's from the last century, but it's really convenient in some ways.

For example, now, Sirius, who was awakened by cold water, was in a daze.

Because his sense of smell was destroyed by John the Dung, he didn't notice Snape approaching secretly, so he was caught.

He just felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but his mind hadn't yet figured it out.

"Come on, Dalang, take the medicine."

While he was half asleep, someone gave him a glass of water.

Sirius opened his mouth and the money was poured into his mouth without him realizing it. He didn't react until he swallowed it.

I looked up suddenly and saw John holding a glass of water attentively, with a kind expression as if he was taking care of a patient.

He saw a gloomy and sallow face and subconsciously asked, "Snotlout?"

John noticed that Professor Snape's face had become visibly gloomier.

Realizing something was wrong, Sirius yelled angrily, "What did you give me to drink!"

"It's truth serum. Didn't I tell you to drink it?" John said innocently.

Sirius' heart sank. From his perspective, these two people were a team with ulterior motives.

This was his most bitter enemy during his school days. Now that he was in his hands, it would be no different from being sent to Azkaban.

John was very satisfied with the effect of the truth serum. He conjured up a chair and sat down, smiling and said, "Come to think of it, this is not the first time we meet, Sirius Black."

"You are really good. You created the fog, right?"

Unable to resist, Sirius sat down on the wet dirt and said, "But before that, I have something to say."

"Please go ahead." John noticed that Snape had a cold face all the time, and he always looked like he was going to take out his wand and cast the Killing Curse at any second.

He also wanted to know more secrets, preferably about Voldemort.

After all, he and Voldemort were in a state of life-and-death struggle, and both of his Horcruxes had been destroyed by him.

John also learned a lot of things while Sirius was in a coma.

Snape revealed that it was Sirius who caused the death of the Potters.

This made John want to know the secret even more. After all, as a traitor, he should know more than ordinary Death Eaters.

After being imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, Sirius had some mental problems.

He looked at John and said solemnly: "I'm not the murderer, it's him, the guy in hiding!"

As he spoke, he began to yell like a mentally ill person.

John subconsciously slapped Sirius on the face. He usually wielded a sword, and this slap made Sirius' face swollen.

Fortunately, Sirius was also awakened by the beating. He kept muttering, "It was him, the coward. He betrayed James. He betrayed James!"

John turned his gaze to Snape, wondering if he had just hit his head and become stupid.

Snape looked at Sirius' swollen face and even seemed to be eager to try.

"Okay, you mean, if you're not a murderer, then who is?"

John originally wanted to ask about Voldemort, but seeing Sirius's expression, he had no choice but to continue asking.

"Peter Pettigrew!" Sirius' eyes were bloodshot and he looked extremely crazy.

Snape sneered sarcastically, "Peter Pettigrew, you may have forgotten that you killed that man twelve years ago."

With a sarcastic look on his face, he said to John with some impatience: "Okay John, hand him over to the Aurors, the Dementors will make him remember."

Sirius looked terrified when he heard about Dementors.

When John heard Peter Pettigrew's name, he thought of Ron's mouse.

Snape agreed to John because he also had things to figure out.

He approached Snape, his facial expression becoming somewhat ferocious as he said, "Tell me, who helped you escape from Azkaban and enter Hogwarts? Who was the traitor? Was it Remus Lupin?"

He was expectant and very happy to hear the name Remus Lupin come out of that mouth.

However, this is not the case.

"No, not Moony. I only have two friends here."

Sirius really didn't want to answer his archenemy's questions, but he couldn't control the truth serum.

He said with difficulty: "Crookshanks, Tom, they are my friends, help me catch Peter Pettigrew."

John was disappointed when he heard Tom's name. He fiddled with the cherry wood wand in his hand and said calmly, "This wand was also given to you by Tom, right?"

He felt a little disappointed. He didn't expect that his dog would steal his wand for someone else.

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary dog, but Tom can understand human language and knows what the magic wand means to wizards.

Thinking of this, Sirius over there spoke.

"No, it isn't," he said. "This wand was found near the Whomping Willow."

"what?"

John was stunned. Wasn't it a gift from Tom?

He stared at Sirius and asked word by word: "Who gave it to you?"

It was impossible for his wand to grow legs and run away on its own, so John asked again, and the result was the same: he picked it up near the Whomping Willow.

His face darkened, and he said to Snape, "Professor, has the truth serum lost its effect? ​​Do you want some more?"

Hearing this, Snape showed a cruel smile, took out the truth serum, pinched Sirius' mouth directly, and poured a full bottle of truth serum into it.

Sirius resisted in shock and anger, but Snape, upon hearing that he could give his mortal enemy Veritaserum, was almost ready to take out the crucible and pour it in.

After one bottle, Sirius even told how old he was when he wet the bed.

At the same time, John also learned the 'truth', that it was not Sirius who killed the Potter family.

The Potter family used the Fidelius Charm, which required them to designate a secret-keeper. As long as the secret-keeper didn't speak, Voldemort would not be able to discover the Potter family even if they were at the door.

James Potter only trusted Sirius, and even Dumbledore was not within his consideration.

But Sirius felt that he must be the focus of attention of the Death Eaters, so he asked James to replace the secret keeper with Peter Pettigrew.

"We trusted him so much that we didn't even consider Remus." At this point, Sirius roared.

He has been living in regret for twelve years.

He felt that he was the one who killed his good friend, and after Peter Pettigrew faked his death, he completely lost motivation and allowed the Aurors to capture him and become a prisoner in Azkaban.

Until he saw in the newspaper that the traitor who killed the Potter family was at large, he escaped from Azkaban, swam across the sea, and came to Hogwarts.

Snape and John listened, neither of them saying a word.

Excluding the possibility that Sirius was proficient in Occlumency and the ineffectiveness of Veritaserum, these words were enough to become a huge stain on the Ministry of Magic.

"Professor, what are you going to do with him?"

In the silence, John spoke first.

Snape glanced at him, as if not understanding what he was talking about.

John smiled slightly, showing his eight teeth, and said, "I mean, do you want to settle your previous grudge with him?"

Hearing this, Sirius also looked up at John, the boy in Slytherin uniform, who spoke in a harmless tone.

"No one knows, not even the Aurors, as long as we say he attacked a student and killed him right there or threw him to the Dementors to suck out his soul."

A chill rose in the hearts of the two adult wizards. They looked at John with astonishment and horror in their eyes.

Snape was shocked. He didn't expect John to say such a thing.

It was Sirius who was horrified, John knew the truth, yet he could say it calmly.

This means that John doesn't care about the lives of innocent people.

terrible.

The two wizards had terrifying thoughts at the same time.

Snape scolded coldly: "John Wick!"

John shrugged and said, "Well, professor, you are very generous. If possible, I hope to keep him locked up for the time being. After all, we also need to verify the truth."

Snape's expression improved slightly after he stopped talking about the terrible idea.

Actually, John wanted to use Sirius as a bargaining chip in the talks with the Ministry of Magic. Now that he knew the truth from twelve years ago, it was even more explosive.

Peter Pettigrew was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, for his glorious death and was hailed as a hero.

At this point the hero is only a stone away from the mire, and all that's left is for John to do about it.

If Rufus Scrimgeour continued with that attitude, John wouldn't mind letting the truth out and letting the public see the scandal at the Ministry of Magic.

The truth of miscarriage of justice, making Death Eaters heroes.

If John continued to be a good partner to Johnny Silverhand, he could keep this a secret and do Scrimgeour a big favor.

Let this truth remain buried, and the Ministry of Magic will remain brilliant.

But since Professor Snape is here, John can't be too straightforward.

After locking Sirius up, John and Snape walked out of the Forbidden Forest side by side.

Snape walked away in a hurry, and John watched him leave.

No matter what choice you make, finding Peter Pettigrew is a must.

With a deep gaze, John stroked the ring with his fingers. A terrible curse resided inside the ink-black ring. Through the inky gem, it looked like a body of dark water flowing inside.

...

Chapter 161: Gouzi, You've Been Wronged and Final Exam

The celebration of winning the championship lasted until the next morning, but the joy was somewhat diluted by the learning tasks in class.

In the Slytherin common room, John was still thinking about how to get out with his wand.

Malfoy came over shyly, and under John's gaze, he said awkwardly: "John, I want to tell you something."

John raised his head, motioning for him to continue.

Malfoy took a deep breath and said nervously, "Actually...I lost your wand."

"?"

A question mark popped up in John's head and he was confused.

"You mean, the wand in my room was taken away by you?"

He stared at Malfoy, seemingly wondering how this man was connected to Sirius.

Malfoy scratched his head and snapped his fingers, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore and admitted, "You asked me to walk the dog that day, and then I thought of bringing a toy for Tom to play with. You know Tom only has one toy..."

The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.

"Tom and I were playing fetch, so I threw the wand as if it were a teething stick, and I used a bit too much force."
