He then cut off one of his right fingers and left it at the scene, using his Animagus powers to transform into a rat and escape.

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

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

Based on the traces and evidence left at the scene, Fudge and his team concluded that he had betrayed James and Lily after going completely mad, and then found Peter Pettigrew.

The thunderous explosion destroyed his body and also affected 12 Muggles nearby. Sirius Black was imprisoned by the Aurors for a few days before being sent to Azkaban.

Even today, there are countless unreasonable aspects to this matter.

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

Secondly, Sirius Black had no reason to betray the Potters. At that time, he had already broken with the family because of his attitude towards the Mudbloods. James and Lily were essentially his family, a fact that Dumbledore was well aware of.

Finally, and most importantly.

The Ministry of Magic bypassed the trial process and sent Sirius Black directly to Azkaban, citing only that Sirius was insane and there was no need for a trial. This procedural violation was the only one of its kind in the history of the Ministry of Magic.

Snape initially thought that the Ministry of Magic was trying to take credit for the incident, resolve it quickly, and then make Sirius the scapegoat.

But now a nearly similar situation has arisen, which makes Snape wonder if there are any hidden stories behind Sirius's fate back then.

For example, if Sirius Black weren't in Azkaban, would he be fighting the Dursleys for custody of Harry?

The Dursleys would definitely hand over the Harry outright, and Sirius would raise Harry diligently, but then Harry's magic would be unable to be triggered.

Snape was about to say something when Dumbledore spoke first.

“Severus, I don’t think this is something you should be concerned about.”

"Killing Peter Pettigrew may allow you to take some of your revenge, but it won't give you complete revenge, and it might even make it harder for you to stay close to him in the future."

"Let's be patient for now, so that we can achieve our ultimate goal."

Snape remained silent for a long time before saying, "Of course I haven't forgotten my goal, but I just hope... never mind."

Snape chuckled self-deprecatingly; he really had no right to say anything more.

As for Peter Pettigrew's fate, shouldn't Harry be the one most skeptical about it?

Indeed, Harry was repeating Peter Pettigrew's name in his dreams.

Because he had already investigated and knew what happened back then.

At least according to the Daily Prophet, written in the tone of the Ministry of Magic.

So, the hero Peter Pettigrew was killed by the shameful traitor Sirius Black, but now Peter Pettigrew is still alive. So what exactly happened?

Unfortunately, Harry has lost consciousness, so he can only keep this question to himself for now.

Dolly, at the school hospital, indeed saw familiar faces taking their places one by one.

Once she confirmed that everyone was alive, Dolly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had originally intended to help Mrs. Pomfrey take care of the wounded, but Mrs. Pomfrey pushed her to bed to rest.

In the end, Hermione and Cho Chang arrived to help Madam Pomfrey, which allowed Madam Pomfrey to take care of everyone in time.

"how is she?"

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

Although we already know that Luna is unlikely to be in mortal danger, we still want to get a good answer.

"She lost a lot of magic and life force, which was caused by some kind of curse magic. It's very troublesome."

Mrs. Pomfrey bluntly stated, "Fortunately, the situation hasn't gotten to the worst possible point."

"She will need to rest and recuperate for the next six months, taking the magic potion every day without interruption. She should be able to return to normal by the end of the year."

"It shouldn't affect her future life much. Just remember to make sure she takes her medication."

The three girls nodded immediately.

Although she didn't know why Luna had become like this, and Dolly didn't know why Luna had a diary, Dolly still wrote down what Mrs. Pomfrey had said.

"As for those few..."

Madam Pomfrey looked at the unconscious Harry trio and said, "They've only suffered superficial injuries. Once they regain their strength, I'll give them some Bone Regenerating Elixir tonight. They'll be back to normal by tomorrow."

Dolly was completely relieved.

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

Perhaps this is how Dolly adopted the identity of her older sister.

After all, Harry, as the protagonist, is loved and cared for by many people, but his experiences have indeed been quite difficult.

"Now it's your turn."

Hermione crossed her arms and glared at Dolly.

Dolly was taken aback and said, "I'm perfectly fine, I don't even have any scratches."

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

Cho Chang stood by Hermione's side this time, urging Dolly to tell the whole story.

Dolly pursed her lips, wondering if she should simplify things, since confronting Voldemort was far too dangerous, exceeding the level they were currently facing.

Hermione's next words dispelled Dolly's idea: "We'll ask Luna later, and if your accounts differ, then you're lying to us."

Dolly immediately raised her hands in surrender, but said she could only talk about it when she got back to her dorm.

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

Dolly also recounted her confrontation with Voldemort, and when Hermione and Cho Chang heard about Avada Kedavra, their faces turned deathly pale.

Qiu Zhang shuddered and almost fainted.

"Alright, I'm standing right here! Avada Kedavra is indeed terrifying, but it's meaningless if he can't hit me."

Hermione pressed down on Dolly's shoulder and said, "How dare you say such a thing! Couldn't you have waited for the professors to go together? Why do you always have to steal the spotlight by yourself!"

"Or, why not take us with you!"

Dolly chuckled and said, "But it's an emergency!"

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

"But what if you die?"

Cho Chang lowered his head, his forehead almost touching Dolly's, and asked Dolly in a calm tone, but his dark eyes were full of doubt about Dolly.

Dolly was speechless for a moment, but Cho Chang spoke up: "If you die, I will avenge you."

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

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

"And what you're describing, that's some kind of classical double suicide!"

Dolly was just trying to joke, but Cho Chang looked at her calmly.

Although she didn't verbally refute Dolly's words, her dark, gleaming eyes were filled with her unwavering determination.

"me too!"

Seeing this, Hermione knew it wouldn't be good to break the atmosphere at this moment, so she took the initiative to join in.

"And next time I'm going to go with you, understand? If you leave me behind again, Qiu Zhang and I won't talk to you for a whole semester!"

Dolly felt a chill run down her spine.

Ignoring her for a semester means she can't sleep in Hermione's bed, and she can't play those touching, pinching, or even licking games.

This was practically torture for Dolly, who was just getting started.

Dolly immediately promised that she would never charge into battle alone again, which calmed Hermione and Cho Chang down a bit.

However, even though Dolly said that.

If she were ever forced to confront Voldemort and the extremely dangerous Death Eaters, Dolly would still be at the forefront.

After all, she can evade the curse, but her companions behind her are unlikely to have that ability.

Dolly still remembers the scene in the original movie where Sirius Black is suddenly struck by the Avada Kedavra curse and then loses his soul, drifting into the veil of death.

The thought of death, even just imagining Hermione, Cho Chang, and Luna dying, was heartbreaking for Dolly.

Especially Luna...

Dolly felt her cheeks flush at the thought of Luna kissing her first.

What exactly happened in that scene?!

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

After all, they weren't in the same grade, and they didn't even have many opportunities to play together.

Was Luna moved by her cobbled-together little poem, or by Dolly saving her?

While both of these points are reasonable, it seems... that it shouldn't come to this.

Dolly was really curious.

What Dolly was most curious about was that she might never be able to talk to Luna about this topic again.

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

Forget it, I'll put this aside for now.

Luna's recovery will take a long time, and Dolly has decided to take better care of Luna from now on.

This certainly wasn't because of Luna's kiss, but because... well, they're already partners in life and death, aren't they? (Sound of shock)

"So, is the matter of the locked room really over?"

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

"It seems that Hogwarts has had a lot of unexpected situations these past two years."

Dolly nodded, thinking to herself, "This is nothing. The situation will only get worse every year."

Now that Peter Pettigrew has been arrested, it's uncertain whether Sirius Black will escape.

I don't think it's a big problem, because after Peter the Pettigrew was arrested, Sirius Black knew there was a higher chance he was still alive.
