Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School
Chapter 71 The Aftermath of the Turmoil
Soon, people from the Ministry of Magic arrived and took Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew away together.
Dumbledore naturally accompanied him.
The Dementors guarding outside Hogwarts were also transferred away by the Ministry of Magic.
Professor Lupin and John walked back together.
"John, I think I have to thank you, and thank you on behalf of Sirius."
Professor Lu Ping's voice was a little hoarse, but it was sincere.
John waved his hand dismissively; to be honest, he could probably guess some of the plot.
The gist of it is that the main characters eventually overcome numerous trials and uncover the truth of what happened back then.
The truth will eventually come out.
It's just that he unexpectedly brought it forward.
"Professor, do you remember you promised to teach me the Patronus Charm after Christmas? Don't forget!"
John immediately changed the subject and started talking to Professor Lupin about other things.
"Of course, I remember."
Professor Lu Ping smiled and said.
"Also, you can't reveal anything about that screaming shed. I've requisitioned it now; it'll be my secret base from now on."
John continued, and Professor Lupin smiled somewhat helplessly.
"John, I'm a professor, do you know that your behavior violates school rules?"
"It's as if you never broke any school rules when you were a student, Professor. That's a fine tradition of Hogwarts."
John responded to Professor Lupin's words with complete indifference.
Professor Lu Ping was so angry he laughed, but he didn't say anything more.
......
When John returned to the Ravenclaw common room, he found it brightly lit, with almost everyone still awake, waiting for him to come back.
"John is back!"
Someone spotted John and immediately shouted.
Ryan and Ethan immediately stood up and quickly stepped forward: "John, are you alright?"
"What happened? How did you get involved in today's events?"
"And that Sirius Black...could it be...?"
They asked with some concern.
However, he stopped asking questions at the appropriate time.
The others stared at John with curiosity, eager to know what had happened.
John had expected it to attract attention, but he hadn't imagined it would attract this much attention.
Indeed, in a secluded place like Hogwarts, even the slightest bit of gossip will pique a person's curiosity.
"It's nothing. Sirius Black just sneaked into the school and was discovered by Professor Lupin and me by accident."
Sirius Black clung to my legs, crying and begging me not to report him, saying he was innocent.
"Then I took pity on Sirius and gave him a chance to prove himself, and helped him find that fat little pebbles and confront him face to face."
"The truth is that Sirius Black was framed. Peter Pettigrew was the Death Eater who sided with the Mysterio and was also the murderer who killed more than a dozen Muggles."
"They were both taken away by the Ministry of Magic, and the headmaster went with them. I believe there will be official news soon."
John had already prepared his words and addressed them.
The meaning is roughly the same, but some artistic embellishments have been made to the details.
The crowd fell silent after hearing this. What difference did it make whether you said anything or not?
They had already guessed most of what would happen at the banquet.
What they want to know is the truth of what happened back then: how Sirius was wronged, how it was discovered that Little Pettigrew had turned into a mouse, and how you discovered Sirius.
John knew they wanted more details, but that was all he could tell them.
Because Headmaster Dumbledore had given him a heads-up beforehand, telling him not to say too much, and that an official explanation would come later.
Perhaps they were afraid that John might accidentally reveal that Professor Lupin was a werewolf.
"We have class tomorrow, Class Monitor, why don't you hurry up and tell everyone to go home and rest?"
John waved his hand, said no more, and then pulled the prefect out to kick people out.
He then took Ryan and Ethan back to their dormitory.
A group of young eagles, their curiosity unfulfilled, were left behind.
Back in their dorm, John told Ryan and Ethan what they most wanted to know.
The black dog they saw in the Screaming Shack was actually Sirius Black in disguise.
Upon hearing the news, although they were prepared, they still felt a sense of physical discomfort.
When they saw the scene of Xiao Hei turning into a human, they still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that it might just be a black dog that looked somewhat similar.
But John's words forced them to accept this cruel reality.
I feel like I'll never like small animals again...
John then dropped the subject of Professor Lupin's werewolf identity, giving them a brief explanation of the background.
All of this actually happened in just the last few days.
So they didn't blame John for not telling them sooner; after all, if it were them, they probably wouldn't have understood everything yet.
......
The following day, the story of Sirius and Pettigrew made the headlines of the Daily Prophet.
[The truth behind what happened back then may be hidden! Was Sirius Black a murderer or a hero?]
[Peter Pettigrew has come back from the dead! A spokesperson for the Ministry of Magic stated that the case of Sirius Black will be reopened.]
The newspaper report vividly described everything that happened last night.
Although some details have been blurred, the overall content is clear and easy to understand.
The entire magical world was in an uproar.
After all, this matter concerns who the real traitor was back then, the true culprit who caused the Potter family's deaths.
It also undermined people's long-held trust in the Ministry of Magic's impartiality.
As John entered the Great Hall for breakfast, he was immediately watched by countless eyes.
It seems that it wasn't just the Ravenclaws who were curious; people from other houses were also curious about what had happened.
Upon seeing John appear, Harry Potter, as if he had been waiting for a long time, immediately got up and walked towards John, his eyes filled with eagerness and inquiry.
Ron came with Harry, probably wanting to ask about the rat.
John knew exactly what Harry wanted to say, and raised his hand before he could speak, interrupting his question.
"Senior Harry, Professor Lupin said he'll be waiting for you in his office at noon today. If you have any questions, I think it would be better to go see him, since I was just dragged into this myself."
"Senior Ron, you'll have to talk to Professor Lupin about the rat. I heard he was a classmate of his."
Harry, who had just opened his mouth, paused for a moment, but then understood what John meant.
"Okay, sorry John, and thank you."
Harry nodded very readily and gave John a forced smile.
Then he immediately turned around and left the Great Hall of the People. It seems he couldn't wait until noon and wanted to go find Professor Lu Ping now.
Ron paused for a moment after hearing John's words, but quickly recovered, nodded to John, and then went out with Harry.
John shook his head helplessly as he watched them walk away.
It's already noon, if we go look for him now, Professor Lu Ping definitely won't be there.
