The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 341 The world of reunion again
There was silence in the small bedroom. Whether the real secret-keeper was Sirius Black or Peter Pettigrew, it was a sad story.

Being betrayed by someone you trust is one of the most painful sorrows.

When Grover Cecil told Ada this story, it was to make Ada remember this lesson and not to trust anyone, because trust is a very luxurious thing.

Blake, who was sitting at the head of the bed, didn't say a word. His hands were still torturing his hair, and his face, which had just turned a little red, was full of pain.

Black knew he was innocent, but he had never argued before and had no intention of escaping Azkaban. Black believed that he was responsible for the deaths of James and Lily, and that he was the one who caused all this misfortune.

I didn't kill Bo Ren, but he died because of me. I have let down this good friend in the underworld. Although it's not quite appropriate, the regret and self-blame in my heart are the same.

In fact, Black's choice was very smart. He stood in the open to attract attention, while the real secret keeper Peter hid in the dark, not threatened by Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

It not only saved Peter, but also made the Potters' hiding place safer. It was a bit like the Thirty-Six Stratagems, which meant repairing the plank road in the open and crossing Chencang in secret, or hiding the truth from the world.

Unfortunately, Black's dinghy encountered Voldemort's rough seas, and his attempt to conceal his true intentions turned into an active gift. Voldemort had predicted Black's predictions, and Peter Pedillo was not a trustworthy person.

Fred and George, who were sitting by the door, did not speak either. They were no longer as naughty as before. The two brothers lowered their heads in deep thought, thinking about the past of Black and James Potter, and the future of themselves and Ada.

The twins were greatly shocked to hear Blake's personal account of the whole incident.

Fred and George always believed that they were fully prepared to face the cruelty of the adult world and could accompany Ada to see better scenery.

But when Blake tore open the bloody wound, the twins found that their thoughts were so naive and the world was much more cruel than they had imagined.

Fred and George are two interesting souls under their sunny appearance, and hidden deep in their souls is a rare sobriety. They always bring laughter to those around them, but sober people are often in pain.

The midday sun made the room warm. Ada went back to the window, placed her hands on her smooth forehead and gazed into the distance. In the reflection of the sun, her white shirt looked dazzling.

At an age when she should be free to joke and joke, when even the spring breeze would be intoxicated by her behavior and laughter, Ada has witnessed the deep darkness of this world.

The love-hate entanglement of twelve years ago might sound heartbreaking to others, but to Ada it was nothing. She would neither comfort Blake nor immediately believe Blake's one-sided words.

It's not that Ada is cold-hearted, but she has seen more. Today, Ada's curiosity was satisfied, and everything she wanted to know and verify was basically confirmed by Blake.

There is no need to ask or talk about unanswered questions or doubts. There are many things that are better left unanswered. There is no need to clarify them.

If Ida really asked Dumbledore whether he believed in Sirius, what answer would she get? Don't forget that Sirius's last name is Black, and Sirius's cousin is Bellatrix Lestrange, Narcissa Malfoy.

If Ada did ask Sirius why he didn't tell Dumbledore about the changing of the Secret-Keeper, what answer would she get?
If Ada really asked Sirius why he didn't change the secret keeper to another close friend Lupin, what answer would she get? Don't forget that Professor Lupin is a werewolf. In the darkest moment, who is trustworthy between Peter and Remus? The result has given the answer.

Don’t ask, don’t tell, this is Ada’s mercy, a slightly cruel mercy.

In this matter, if Ada had to choose someone who deserved sympathy, she would choose Remus Lupin, who lost everything overnight, this pitiful werewolf.

The long silence was broken, and Black finally stopped torturing his hair. He said, "I know you don't believe me. Who would believe a fugitive? But I really need your help. Peter can't stay with Harry no matter what. I can't let him sell Harry to his master like he sold out James!"

In the dark Azkaban, his past with James and his feelings for Harry were the strength that kept Black awake and the main reason for his escape from Azkaban. Godfather is a person who gives a Christian name to a baby or child at baptism and guarantees his religious education. Black is Harry's godfather and the closest person to Harry in this world.

Father’s love is like a mountain, although it may sometimes cause landslides and earthquakes.

"I beg you, classmate Drizzt." Blake put everything aside and begged, "Please!"

Blake had seen the power of this house. As soon as he approached the doors and windows, blazing blue flames would immediately rise up, blocking his way.

Crookshanks once brought in a mouse, but as soon as the mouse touched the door, it was devoured by the flames, leaving no ashes.

Blake knew that everything depended on the other party's thoughts. If he wanted to catch Peter, he could only let the other party control him. From the day he was injured, this day was destined to happen.

It doesn't really matter whether Ada believes in Blake or not, because the long-out-of-service system has already given a reference answer. [Ding! Find out the real secret keeper, find out who really betrayed the Potters]

The biggest suspect, Blake, had been injured by Ada a long time ago, and was now trapped in the room. Even if he wasn't trapped, Blake couldn't escape from Ada's grasp as he couldn't lift anything with his shoulders or hands.

It can be seen that Ada has caught Blake, but! However, the system task has not been completed, and there is no need to say what this means. Although Blake's "one-sided statement" is too bizarre, what he said is indeed true.

"I'm sorry, I don't trust you," Ada said.

As soon as these words came out, Blake's face turned ugly. He was injured and alone against three people. It was difficult for him to hold any of them hostage. His hope of escaping was slim. But Ada's next words rekindled Blake's hope.

Ida said, "I don't trust you, but I think maybe someone else does. Right, Professor?"

Sirius Black first looked at Ada in surprise, then looked at the door. The twins had already made way for the door. Under Black's incredible gaze, Dumbledore, a white-bearded old man with a sword on his back, walked into the room.

Wait, where's the fire? Where's the flickering, high-rising blue flame guarding the door?

Dumbledore's appearance was surprising enough to Black, and the blue flame that showed no reaction made Black stunned. So this flame was only aimed at me, right?

Of course not. Ada didn't dare to practice dark magic in front of Dumbledore. That would be asking for trouble! So when she entered the room, Ada removed the fire shield. Black didn't get out of bed, so he naturally didn't know.

"What an unexpected reunion, isn't it, Sirius?"

Dumbledore smiled warmly. He had always been suspicious of what happened twelve years ago, but he could not find any evidence to verify his suspicion. Everything he had just heard outside the house made him complete all his assumptions about the matter.

"Professor, do you believe me?" Black's voice was shaking with excitement, and even trembled. People who didn't know him would think that he had not been to Azkaban in the North Sea, but to Siberia in the ice and snow to dig potatoes.

"Yes, I believe you." Dumbledore's smile was as warm as the sun. "And I believe that I am not the only one who trusts you, right?"

Ada tilted her head and rolled her eyes. She really hated nesting dolls. After today, she would definitely add a line to the sign at the door of the cabin: No nesting dolls allowed!

As soon as he finished speaking, the weathered Remus Lupin appeared at the door. He looked at Black and said calmly, "Long time no see."
