After experiencing many distressing things, most people tend to subconsciously shift their attention and stop dwelling on their troubles.

Just like how office workers often have a good meal, take a hot shower, or have some fun after working overtime.

In short, these best ways to distract yourself can all be called having fun.

Professor McGonagall and her colleagues are doing just that.

The appearance of Voldemort, the theft of the Philosopher's Stone, the origins of the mysterious youth, Quirrell's death, Harry Potter's power, Sirius's innocence, and Snape's neuroticism had already accumulated a great deal of pressure for them.

And since everyone around them was a familiar face, old colleagues they had worked with for years, they didn't have to suppress these feelings.

Dumbledore's unusual behavior aroused their curiosity, and now, the expression on Dumbledore in the video made everyone want to complain.

Harry probably didn't understand why Dumbledore kept staring at the ceiling after their brief conversation.

But the other professors understood that it wasn't because they had good eyesight or were too familiar with Dumbledore.

The fundamental reason is that the "Philosopher's Stone" recorded all the scenes completely, 365 degrees, so Dumbledore's shy expression could not be hidden.

Dumbledore had been prepared for this, and he didn't think much of Professor McGonagall's criticism.

But Professor Sprout uttered the word that had been on his mind all along—confession!

"Can Pomona read minds? But my confession was in quotation marks," Dumbledore couldn't help but think the instant he heard it.

"What?" Dumbledore pretended not to understand.

Sirius –Black Family Butcher or Hero?

The Ministry of Magic confirmed today:

Sirius Black Family, who is widely regarded as the most notorious prisoner ever held in Azkaban Castle, was actually innocent.

On the contrary, Peter Pettigrew, who was recognized as a hero and awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, was the real traitor.

"To be honest, I don't have a very good impression of the Black Family, I even hate him," a concerned reader wrote Snape, the head of Slytherin House. "But his actions this time make me think he is no hero—killing a friend who betrayed his brother and spending 10 years in Azkaban to repent."

The enthusiastic reader added that Sirius Black had been confessing to killing his brother after his arrest, all for the sake of Peter Pettigrew's elderly mother.

Peter Pettigrew was forced to betray James Potter because of his family.

Sirius killed the traitor and considered his family, but he didn't think about himself at all!

You should know that he is the heir to the ancient Black House, handsome and wealthy.

If he had wanted to, he wouldn't have had to go to jail.

Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge said this morning, "This is all the fault of Barty Crouch, who protected his Death Eaters son. He knew Sirius was innocent, but because the murderer was dead, he arrested the innocent Sirius without trial for his own merit and the position of Minister Azkaban Minister for Magic."

"An investigation revealed that this also involved his subordinates at the time, and we will thoroughly investigate this matter."

Some members of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement criticized Fudge for widely disseminating the fact that Black Family was innocent, as it damaged the Ministry of Magic's reputation.

The easily angered Fudge said, "Oh, I had to do this, didn't you know? Black Family is innocent. This was a mistake made by the Ministry of Magic, and we can't let reputation prevent us from admitting our mistakes. I have to be worthy of my position as Minister for Magic, and I can't let down the people who elected me. Besides, Peter Pettigrew Merlin First Class will be changed to Sirius Black. To be honest, what you've said at this critical juncture makes me wonder if you've also been involved."

"You know, Barty Crouch was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement before, so I highly suspect that he didn't do this wrongful conviction alone."

So, what is the truth behind this case?

Fortunately, many enthusiastic readers were willing to provide information, allowing me to learn the ins and outs of this incident.

It is understood that this occurred 11 years ago, before Harry Potter was born.

James Potter, a member of Dumbledore's inner circle, retreated to his family's old house for the sake of his family. This house was protected by a powerful spell called the Fidelius Charm.

This is using magic to hide a secret within the soul of a living person. This secret is hidden in the heart of the chosen person, or the Secret Keeper, and it will never be possible to discover it again—unless, of course, the Secret Keeper intends to reveal it.

As long as the Secret Keeper refuses to speak, the You-Know-Who could search the village where the Potters had lived for years and still never find them, not even if he flattened his nose against the glass window outside their living room!

So here's the question— Secret Keeper?

Like Dumbledore, James Potter was also a person who liked to form cliques—that clique was called the Marauders.

Two of the Marauders were Sirius and Peter.

This is why Sirius Black was the first Secret Keeper; the two of them got along very well and loved to play pranks on others—including the enthusiastic reader Snape, whom we just mentioned.

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix knows Secret Keeper, which is why neither Dumbledore nor his inner circle has spoken up for him.

However, according to a letter from an enthusiastic reader, the arrogant James Potter was suspicious of his friend Sirius, believing that he was unreliable given his background.

They kept it a secret from everyone else, except Sirius, and replaced him with Peter also had an elderly mother.

In the end, we know the outcome: Peter was forced to betray Sirius after killing his friend and avenging James Potter.

He had no desire for rebirth and kept repenting. Why didn't he reject James Potter's arrogant suggestion?

Ah, what a noble person!

In addition, there were two photos of Sirius in the middle of the newspaper.

One photo shows him many years after he went to prison. It shows a sunken face, with only his eyes still showing a trace of life. Combined with his waxy white skin, he looks like a vampire. At the same time, his face is completely still. If it weren't for the beard being blown by the wind in the photo, one might mistake it for a picture from the Muggle world.

The other picture is from when he was still at Hogwarts. He often has a nonchalant look on his face, but this does not make him look frivolous. Instead, it makes him look handsome and unrestrained. His slightly arrogant face gives people a sense of conquest.

Ryan flipped through the newspaper, occasionally letting out a soft chuckle.

The world is getting more and more interesting. Peter Pettigrew should just stay a mouse. How funny it would be if Sirius found out that Scabbers was angrily casting a spell on him, only to discover that it was just a real mouse.
