Chapter 290

"I'm not trying to excuse him. I mean, I still remember what he was like at Hogwarts. If you told me at that time that Black would become what he is now, I will tell you. Don't drink too much at a time."

"That's because you don't know the real truth, Rosmerta," Fudge said stiffly. "The worst thing he has ever done, few people know."

"The worst thing?" Ms. Rosmerta asked, her voice full of curiosity, "Do you mean worse than killing so many poor people?"

"Of course." Fudge said, "I can't imagine that there is something worse than this."

Professor McGonagall showed a pained expression and said, "You said you still remember him at Hogwarts, Rosmerta. Do you remember who his best friend is?"

"Of course, remember, the two of them are inseparable." Ms. Rosmerta said, and she smiled softly.

"They are even closer than their brothers. They love coming here. Oh, I still remember they always like to make me laugh. They are a natural pair, a good pair, Sirius Black and James Potter."

Harry slammed into the corner of the table and made a muffled noise. Ron kicked him to remind him to be quiet.

"Yeah, that's right." Professor McGonagall murmured, "Blake and Potter, the leaders of the prank gang, they are very smart. To be honest, they are very smart—at least in terms of getting into trouble, we have never I have never seen anyone who can cause trouble more than them."

"I guess Fred and Joe can compete with them." Hagrid said with a chuckle, "but I think Fred and they will be defeated."

"People would think that Black and Potter are brothers, and their relationship is better than their brothers." Professor Flitwick interjected in agreement, "They are inseparable."

Fudge snorted and said, "Of course they are inseparable. Potter trusts Blake completely. He trusts Blake more than everyone, and more than all his friends."

He said in a gloomy tone, "Who would have thought that when they graduated and left school, it would be better to do that. When James and Lily got married, Blake was the best man, and they made Blake the godfather of Harry. Poor Harry doesn't know this at all, you can imagine how it would torture him if he knew it."

"Is it because Black took refuge in the mysterious man?" Rosmerta asked in a low voice.

"It's much worse than this, dear." Fudge lowered his voice and said with emotion.

"Many people don’t know. The Potters have long understood that the mysterious man is chasing them. Dumbledore has been fighting against the mysterious man. He has many capable spies. One of the spies heard the news and he told them. Dumbledore, Dumbledore notified James and Lily immediately."

"Dumbledore persuaded James and Lily to hide quickly, and Dumbledore also taught them to use the Courageous Faithfulness Curse." Fudge said this with emphasis.

"It looks like a very powerful spell. What is it useful for?" Ms. Rosmerta asked curiously. This kind of unknown news made her breathless with excitement.

Professor Flitwick coughed lightly and said, "This is a very complicated curse." He said with a proud face when he mentioned his profession.

"This spell can hide a secret in the soul of a living person, the person who hides the secret, or the secret person hides the secret, and other people can never discover the secret again."

"Unless the secretaries deliberately divulge it, the mysterious man will never find them even if he searches the village where the Potters live. Even if he put his nose on the glass window outside the Potters living room, he couldn't see anything. ."

Rosmerta pondered for a moment, and said, "Then, the secret of the Potters, is Black?"

"Of course." Professor McGonagall said coldly, "James Potter told Dumbledore that Black would rather die by himself and would not reveal where they were hiding. He said that Black was going to hide and Voldemort would never find it. To him. But Dumbledore was very worried, and he proposed to be the secret of the Potters."

"Dumbledore can't believe Blake?" The Rosmerta girl asked breathlessly.

"Dumbledore is sure that some of the people around the Potters have been telling the mysterious people about their whereabouts." Professor McGonagall said gloomily. "For a long time, he suspected that someone on our side had become a traitor. , Revealed a lot of information to the mysterious man."

"Jamberport still insists on using Black as the secret agent?" Rosmerta took a breath and exclaimed, "Is he brainless?"

"Maybe, maybe he just trusts Blake too much, and he trusts himself too much." Fudge said gravely, "has used the Courage Loyalty Curse for less than a week At this point, he was silent.

"Black betrayed them." Rosmerta whispered.

"Yes, he betrayed them, and Black is tired of the role of double agent. He plans to make his identity public, he wants to publicly support the mysterious man, and he plans to do so when Potter dies." Fudge said coldly.

"Everyone knows the rest. The mysterious man lost his hand. He lost his hand in front of little Harry Potter inconceivably. He lost his magic and was extremely weak. He ran away and hid."

"This puts Black in a dilemma. He just exposed his identity as a traitor and his master fell. He has no other choice but to hide." Fudge continued.

"Dirty, smelly traitor." Hagrid shouted, his voice shook the whole bar quiet.

"Hush!" Professor McGonagall motioned for him to be quiet.

Hagrid ignored Professor McGonagall’s gesture, he roared angrily, “I’ve seen that bastard. Before he killed many people, I was the last to see him before he was arrested.”

"After the mysterious man attacked and the others were killed, I was the first to arrive at the scene. I found Harry from the house of James and Lily. I found him in the ruins, poor little Guy, there is a long wound on the forehead."

"His parents are dead, but Sirius Black showed up, and he was riding on the flying motorcycle. I didn't know what he was doing there, and I didn't know he was the secret of Harry's parents."

"I thought he had heard about the mysterious attack, thinking he was here to help. He was pale and trembling. Guess what I did? I even comforted the bastard, the murderer. "Hagrid growled.
