Bell's Conspiracy Theory Again

Sensing the hesitation emanating from Lupin behind him, Bell's lips slowly curled into a smile.

During the Christmas Holiday, he had someone investigate Lupin and Black. Having gained a thorough understanding of the two, Bell also took the opportunity to review the events surrounding Voldemort's defeat.

Therefore, Bell knew that Lupin had an indecisive side to his personality.

Since Lupin is unable to make a decision now, the only person left who can make the decision Black.

Bell was quite confident that Black would seek his help.

Although everyone believed that Black was a loyal Death Eater under Voldemort, and even Bell had previously thought so.

But after learning that Lupin had saved Black, Bell changed his mind.

First of all, Dumbledore couldn't possibly be unaware of Lupin's Werewolf identity.

Secondly, Black was rescued outside the gates of Hogwarts.

Finally, intelligence indicated that Dumbledore was at Hogwarts when Black was rescued.

In conclusion, it's not hard to guess that Dumbledore deliberately allowed Black to be rescued.

Even Dumbledore instructed Lupin to rescue Black.

No matter how unreliable Dumbledore is, he wouldn't let a die -Voldemort follower out of his sight.

Therefore, there is only one truth: Black is not Death Eater!

This is really... fantastic!

Bell didn't care what had happened in the end; all he knew was that Black wasn't Death Eater, which meant he wouldn't receive help from the other Death Eater hiding in the shadows.

In other words, the only people who can help Black now are Lupin and Dumbledore.

So here's the question.

Lupin was struggling to support himself, so how could he possibly have the resources to help Black?

As for Dumbledore?

Bell believed that Dumbledore was willing to help Black.

But!

Whether Black will accept it... that's uncertain.

All the wizards in Britain knew that the only person Voldemort feared was Dumbledore.

Then another question arises.

Why didn't Harry's father, James Potter, ask Dumbledore to be the Secret Keeper of the Fidelius Charm, but instead chose his most trusted brother, Sirius Black?

There's only one answer: James doesn't trust Dumbledore!

This is quite intriguing.

In addition, Professor Trelawney's Prophecy stated that a Little Wizard born at the end of July, into a family that had defeated the Dark Lord three times, would completely kill Voldemort.

Then another problem arises.

Besides Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom also fits this criterion.

Even Voldemort discovered this, Dumbledore couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

So why didn't Dumbledore take any protective measures for the Longbottoms back then?

Furthermore, to this day, no one knows how Voldemort learned of Professor Trelawney's Prophecy.

In conclusion, Bell made a bold guess:

"The Prophecy was deliberately leaked to Voldemort by Dumbledore, who also allowed Voldemort to attack the Potter and Longbottom families!"

It is well known that even the greatest prophets in history could not guarantee that every Prophecy they made would come true.

Not to mention Professor Trelawney, that half-baked guy.

Go out on the street and ask any wizards; at least nine out of ten will say Trelawney is a fraud.

Therefore, in Bell's view, Dumbledore's unusual behavior was a confirmation of the Prophecy's truth.

If the Prophecy is true, then Voldemort can also be used to select the true "Boy Who Lived".

It's a brilliant plan that kills two birds with one stone!

Although it will involve some 'minor' sacrifices.

Ahem, I've gone off-topic again.

In short, if Bell's prediction is correct, then Black is probably having a very difficult time right now.

So, exchanging some worthless knowledge (at least for Black at present) for some urgently needed supplies is such a good deal!

"Bell! What are you doing here? I've been looking for you for ages!"

Bell turned his head and saw Hermione running towards him, panting.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Bell looked at his girlfriend with curiosity.

Hermione carefully looked around to make sure no one else was nearby before leaning close to Bell's ear.

"Bell, there's something I've been thinking about for several days. I think I should tell you about it."

Seeing Hermione's serious expression, Bell immediately perked up.

Could it be that her mother said something to Hermione at the banquet earlier?

No, that's not right. If that were the case, my mother would have told him.

Before Bell could dwell on his thoughts for long, Hermione continued:

"I read in the Daily Prophet that Werewolf rescued Black. Do you think it could be Professor Lupin?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hermione felt a wave of relaxation wash over her.

She hasn't been able to sleep well for the past few days; this thought keeps replaying in her mind.

She knew that it was very bad behavior to suspect professors at the school without any reason.

However, whenever she thought of the word "Werewolf" in the newspaper, the first person that came to her mind was Professor Lupin.

The main reason is that this is the only Werewolf she knows.

So, after much deliberation, Hermione decided to tell Bell her deduction.

Hermione looked at Bell cautiously, afraid that her boyfriend would scold her at any moment.

After all, it's really wrong to doubt a professor!

Professor Lupin isn't Snape...

If Bell knew what his girlfriend was thinking right now, he would definitely want to roll on the floor clutching his stomach.

Poor Snape, he's practically becoming the "King of Pots" at Hogwarts.

"That's right, it's Professor Lupin."

Bell spoke calmly, but not so calmly.

"Sure enough, I knew Professor Lupin couldn't possibly... Wait! What did you say!?"

Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief. She thought she had just heard something incredible from her boyfriend.

"I said, Professor Lupin is that Werewolf, he's the one who rescued Sirius Black."

Bell repeated.

This is the latest intelligence he just verified; it's still fresh in his mind.

"Bell! How could you suspect the professor like that? I know you don't like Professor Lupin; in fact, I think none of your Defense Against the Dark Arts professors like him, including Professor Lockhart last year. But..."

Bell looked at Hermione had started her lecturing mode, with a bewildered expression.

So wasn't it Hermione who just asked him if Professor Lupin was the one who rescued Black, the Werewolf?

He was just honestly answering Hermione's question, wasn't he? How could he be wrong again?
