Chapter 450 Smart Fudge
When everyone passed through the arch and returned to the cave outside again, it was already dawn.
The morning sun dispels the cold and darkness, and shines on the sea, creating golden ripples.
A group of seagulls landed on a rock not far away, curiously looking at Fawkes on Kyle's shoulder, but when Kreacher began to cry at the top of his lungs again, they were all frightened and flew away.
Everyone waited outside for ten minutes, and Dumbledore, who was responsible for the aftermath, finally came out.
He did not explain what he had done during these ten minutes, and no one else asked.
"I need to take Regulus away," he said. "Severus should have a way to make him a human again, not what he is now."
“I’ll go too!” Sirius said immediately.
Although he and Snape didn't fight each other, he risked his life for Regulus.
The worst thing is that Snape just didn't talk back when he was sarcastic.
"I think it's better for you not to go." Dumbledore looked at him, hesitating to speak.
He felt that if Sirius had gone, Snape would probably not open the door to them at all.
"Uh..." Sirius also understood what he meant and couldn't help but muttered: "Can't you use someone else, such as Madam Pomfrey?"
"No." Dumbledore shook his head. "She is better at treating living people."
“Then…okay.” Sirius sighed, bent down and bowed deeply to Dumbledore. "Regulus will trouble you."
Then he said to Kreacher who was crying beside him:
“Go with Professor Dumbledore to meet that person. If there is any missing material, tell me immediately.
In addition, no matter how ugly he said during this period, even if he was sarcastic about Regulus, you must pretend not to hear it. This is an order! "
Dumbledore did not object again this time. If he was just following a house elf, I believe Snape wouldn't care.
Before leaving, he looked at Kyle who was as normal as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he shook his head and said nothing.
"boom!"
Fox took them with him and disappeared in a blaze of fire.
After they left, Sirius sat on a stone and looked up at the sky, his face looking more relaxed than ever.
“I’m a little afraid to go back.”
He jokingly said to Kyle: "I'm sure Lupine will give me a good beating as soon as I go back.
As much as I hate to admit it, I really can’t beat him now, with or without a wand. "
"Who told you to insist on coming? It's normal for you to be beaten." Kyle walked next to him, "And he is right. If it weren't for Professor Dumbledore, the number of people we need to find would probably be two.
And I'm sure Snape would be happy to make the potion for you. "
“Yeah, if that’s the case, he must be very happy.”
Sirius lay on the stone and suddenly said: "Thank you."
"What."
“Because of me, you lost something that saved your life.” Sirius said, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”
“Fox likes to eat herbs,” Kyle whispered.
“I understand.” Sirius chuckled and said, “Leave it to me.”
He stood up from the stone and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you back."
"It's okay." Kyle waved his hand, "I can just go back by myself, you don't need to send me there."
“So you’re not going back to 12 Grimmauld Place with me?”
Sirius' expression was stiff. He was still thinking about asking Kyle to help break up the fight. Maybe Lupine would let him go for the sake of his former student.
Otherwise, he would definitely be beaten to death. "Of course, I've been out all night, so I must go home first... See you next time."
Kyle ignored Sirius, whose face was getting more and more ugly, and after speaking, he apparated away.
Sirius looked at the empty cave and almost cried. In a daze, he had already predicted his next fate.
Really, why did Kyle just disapparate? He...wait...
Sirius was suddenly startled.
Kyle, a student who is not yet in fifth grade, Apparate?
…
On the other side, after returning to St. Catchpol Village, as soon as Kyle entered the door, he saw Chris and Diana having breakfast.
Both of them were surprised that Kyle came back so early.
"Why are you back so early? Are you uncomfortable staying at Sirius's house?"
They already know about Sirius and Peter, and when Kyle went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place last night, he also wrote a letter back saying that he would stay there for one night.
"No." Kyle shook his head and sat next to him, "It's just that his house may not be peaceful for a while. I was afraid that I would be implicated if I stayed there, so I came back early."
After a busy night, Kyle was already hungry and couldn't help but take a piece of toast and stuff it into his mouth.
Dianne gave him some more fried eggs and grilled sausages.
It wasn’t until Kyle was full that she said, “What happened? Didn’t you say that Sirius was wrongly accused?”
"It has nothing to do with that." Kyle explained: "It's just that he did something that made Lupine very angry. He will definitely be beaten. I feel embarrassed to do it there."
The two nodded and didn't ask any more questions, as if this was a normal thing.
“They often fight and fight, and that’s what happened when they were in school.” Diana said with a smile, “Especially after Remus became a prefect, he was often driven crazy by his anger.”
"Actually, I didn't have a very good impression of him at the time." Chris also said, "But after hearing that Sirius betrayed Potter, I still felt a little incredible... Everyone knew that this was impossible, They were as close as Fred and George, always inseparable.
But the facts prove that it is indeed the case. "
“By the way, Dad.” Kyle asked, “When will Sirius’ hearing begin?”
"I don't know." Chris shook his head, "I still want to ask you, does Fudge really know about this?"
"Of course, I was in the principal's office and heard it clearly," Kyle said. "He seems to want to help Sirius overturn the case."
“Then why is there no news at all from the ministry?” Chris was a little confused.
“There’s nothing strange about this.” Diana said from the side: “Don’t forget what’s in August.”
“Quidditch World Cup!” Chris suddenly understood.
Crouch has always been in charge of the Quidditch World Cup. As long as this game is exciting enough, his reputation will reach an unprecedented height.
Fudge probably thought of bringing up the matter of Sirius at that time.
The mistake of locking up an innocent man for twelve years without trial was enough to destroy Crouch's long-standing reputation.
“Hoo…” Chris couldn’t help but smile.
Fudge's move was so clever that he almost eliminated the possibility of Crouch replacing him once and for all.
The three of them talked for a while, and Chris and Diana prepared to go to the Ministry of Magic.
“Is it so early?” Kyle glanced at the time. "There are still two hours left before the Ministry of Magic's normal working hours."
“It’s been like this recently. There are two major events that need to be prepared. The ministry is too busy, oh by the way.”
Chris, who had just walked out of the door, suddenly stepped back and said to Kyle mysteriously: "You'd better read more books and practice spells or something... This may be helpful to you."
