Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

Sirius drank warm black tea and ignored the curses and nagging of his great-great-grandfather, Phineas Nigellus Black, the first headmaster to graduate from Slytherin on the wall.

"Oh, Professor, to be honest, I feel like I'm still in a dream and haven't woken up yet."

After drinking a cup of black tea, Sirius sighed quietly, as if he had come to life.

"Don't be so nervous, kid."

Dumbledore looked at the letter in his hand and then handed it to Fawkes.

He needed this letter to be sent to the recipient as quickly as possible. After all, everything that happened today was beyond his imagination.

"Professor, when are we going to get Bella's vault key?"

Hermione was sitting on the windowsill, eating a piece of cake, her calves swinging back and forth, her expression looking extremely relaxed.

Sirius focused his gaze on her, his eyes full of weirdness and disbelief.

After all, how can a prisoner who has been imprisoned for eleven years understand that there is a first-year witch in the new era who can rival Dumbledore?

Lucius Malfoy did not enter Hogwarts, and Dumbledore and Hermione were very relieved to let him return to Malfoy Manor.

They weren't worried that Malfoy would find Bella's key first and then take the contents of the vault.

After learning that Hufflepuff's golden cup was Voldemort's Horcrux, Lucius decided to stay away from the vault!

He would not think about saving the gold cup and then asking for credit from Voldemort and returning to Voldemort's camp.

Just the destruction of the diary was enough for Voldemort to reward his family of three with an Avatar to chew on!

After knowing Hermione's power and talent, Lucius had no other ideas. He hugged Dumbledore and Hermione's thighs, boarded the white magic era train, and ran over the dying Dark Lord to usher in The new Malfoy era will do!

"As for the key, don't worry, we need to find someone first."

Dumbledore nodded slightly and glanced at Sirius.

Now that Sirius was smuggled out by them, there is only one way to get rid of the charges against him: to find Peter Pettigrew, who should have died but is still alive!

As long as Peter Pettigrew is found, even if the Ministry of Magic no longer wants to admit it, Sirius Black will have to be released and exonerated of all charges.

However, although they knew that Peter Pettigrew was an Animagus, and through Sirius's memory, Dumbledore also knew that Peter Pettigrew's Animagus was a mouse, eleven years had passed. Where to find a mouse?

"Professor, can I go see Harry?"

Sirius asked hesitantly. He really wanted to take a look at Harry and wanted to know if he was doing well and if he was being bullied.

Dumbledore shook his head. Before finding Peter Pettigrew, he could not let Sirius go to see Harry. That would only alert the enemy.

"Professor, Peter Pettigrew is hard to find. If we don't destroy the Horcruxes as soon as possible, I'm worried..."

Hermione glanced in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. Voldemort was still wandering around Hogwarts!

Afraid of the strength of Dumbledore and Hermione, it is impossible for Voldemort to sneak into the castle for the time being, but this does not mean that he is no threat!

If they focus too much on Peter Pettigrew, maybe Voldemort will find an opportunity to invade the castle, get the wizard, or even hurt Harry!

Dumbledore frowned, now the difficulty lies with Peter Pettigrew.

If Peter Pettigrew is still active in the wizarding world, then when the news of Black's escape comes out, he will definitely hide again.

And when they eliminate the Dark Lord, it will be impossible for Peter Pettigrew to show up again. Who can clear Black's wrongdoing by then?

The testimony of Lucius and other Death Eaters will not be used by the Ministry of Magic. What they want is what they "saw with their own eyes"!

boom!

While Hermione and Dumbledore were still discussing, there was a soft sound from the fireplace, and a middle-aged man in "simple" clothes and looking a little bit gray came out of the fireplace.

"Remus!"

Sirius screamed in surprise, and Remus Lupine, who was called by Sirius, raised his head and saw Sirius. After identifying him for a long time, he looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.

"Professor Dumbledore...what is going on?"

Remus Lupine did not respond to Sirius's call after so many years. He took out his wand and pointed it directly at Sirius.

"Lupin, relax, relax."

Dumbledore raised his hand and directly disarmed the wand in Lupine's hand, which made Remus Lupine confused.

Soon, Dumbledore explained what happened in the past. When he heard that Sirius was framed by Peter, Lupine believed Dumbledore without any doubt!

In other words, he has never doubted Sirius, but the "facts" of the past made him unable to accept it!

After eleven years, the two brothers who loved each other hugged each other again. Sirius closed his eyes, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop rolling.

"Why, why didn't you tell me about this back then? If you had told me..."

Remus Lupine asked sadly while patting Sirius on the back.

At the beginning, although Peter was also in the Marauder team, the relationship between Lupine, Black and Potter was obviously better.

Lupine couldn't understand why Sirius would choose Peter to be Potter's secret keeper instead of him, without even telling him about it.

If he had known, he would have definitely tried to overturn Sirius's case back then, and there was absolutely no way he would have allowed Sirius to stay in Azkaban for eleven years!

"no way."

Sirius looked at Lupine apologetically, and he sighed.

Back then, there was a traitor in the Order of the Phoenix, and everyone was very cautious. Sirius could trust Potter, and Potter could trust Sirius, but neither of them could trust Lupine.

It's not because Lupine is incompetent, but because of Lupine's identity.

"Is it because I'm a werewolf?"

Remus Lupine was a little sad. Did his identity even have a grudge against his own brother?

"Lupin, you have to know that back then, the werewolves were leaning towards the Dark Lord. Potter and I didn't dare to bet."

Sirius sighed. The status of werewolves in society was quite low. Even he didn't think highly of Lupin at first. The relationship between the two of them only became deeper later.

He could trust Lupine, but he couldn't trust the werewolf.

A werewolf cannot remain sane after being transformed under a moonlit night. If the Secret Keeper chooses Lupine or tells Lupine about the Secret Keeper, then Sirius and Potter cannot guarantee that the Dark Lord will not obtain the secret through werewolves. know these things.

Remus was silent for a moment, he just hugged Sirius tighter.

He really couldn't make an absolute guarantee on this position.

"Okay, you two, let's talk about reminiscing later. Black, the professor and I didn't rescue you just to let you and your brother reminisce and chat."

Hermione stepped forward and interrupted Sirius and Remus' reminiscing. Remus was a little surprised to see a first-year witch in the room. When Sirius told Remus about Hermione, Remus Si was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"What does the professor want from me? To fight the Dark Lord again!"

Black has regained his energy. Although he has been imprisoned in Azkaban for eleven years, he is definitely still young. Even if he fights the Dark Lord again, he will definitely bite off a piece of his flesh!

"No, Sirius, I need you to take us to your ancestral home to find something."

······

Blake's ancestral home, 12 Grimmauld Place, London, UK.

When Blake returned, the door that had not been opened for a long time was reopened.

Kreacher, the only living being in Black's ancestral home, the house elf, was extremely mocking when he saw Sirius. He looked down upon Sirius at all.

However, under Sirius's order, Kreacher still took out the pendant that Regulus asked him to destroy before he died.

"Professor, what is this?"

In the hall of Black's ancestral house, Sirius completely ignored the hygiene messed up by Kreacher and looked at the pendant placed on the table with confusion.

"The Great Luo of All Worlds"

Dumbledore and Hermione looked at each other, and then Hermione drew her wand.

Sirius and Remus also looked at each other, and then they took a step back naturally, wanting to see what this talented little witch, whom Dumbledore praised as surpassing them, was capable of.

[Star shines brightly]!

Star-like light was released from Hermione's wand, and then enveloped the Slytherin's locket.

The same screams as when Ravenclaw's diadem and Tom Riddle's diary were destroyed echoed in the hall of Black's ancestral home, which made Sirius and Remus feel numb.

About ten seconds later, a burst of black smoke floated from Slytherin's locket. Hermione stepped forward, picked up the locket, and put it into her pocket.

It has to be said that the Horcruxes chosen by Voldemort are all top-notch treasures.

Not to mention the first Horcrux diary he split when he was sixteen, Ravenclaw's crown, which can make people have extraordinary wisdom, Hufflepuff's golden cup, which is said to have the magic power to generate food out of thin air, plus now Slytherin's locket, these are all relics left by the first headmaster of Hogwarts!

Although I don’t know what effect Slytherin’s pendant has, judging from Slytherin’s name, this pendant is definitely not ordinary!

On the other side, Dumbledore also explained to Sirius and Remus what a Horcrux was, and Hermione was destroying the Horcrux just now!

Remus opened his mouth in surprise. He could not imagine that a first-year little witch could destroy Voldemort's resurrection method!

What were they doing in first grade?

Regarding Snape, a sinister guy, well, Potter still wanted to poach someone.

This is really comparing people to each other, it’s so irritating!

After getting Slytherin's locket, the group returned to Hogwarts.

Before leaving, Black ignored his mother's vicious curse. He gave Kreacher an order to clean the entire ancestral home before he came back next time. If there was any If there's any dust, let him eat dung eggs!

Kreacher was extremely annoyed when he heard Black's order, but he could not disobey Sirius' order and could only curse Sirius while doing it.

Hermione frowned slightly as she looked at the enslaved Kreacher, but she didn't say anything.

After returning to Hogwarts, everyone began to discuss the issue of Peter Pettigrew again.

Even Dumbledore had a headache and wanted to ask his friends to pay attention in the wizarding world to see if anyone similar to Peter had appeared.

After Hermione closed her eyes and watched Sirius' memories, she suddenly discovered something that surprised her.

"Blake."

Hermione opened her eyes and called Sirius softly.

Sirius turned to look at Hermione, his expression slightly confused.

"If I remember correctly, Peter Pettigrew left a piece of his finger behind when he escaped, right?"

According to reports from the Ministry of Magic, Peter Pettigrew was a hero. In order to stop the Death Eater Black, he was blown to pieces, leaving only a piece of his finger.

But the reality is that Peter Pettigrew broke off a piece of his finger, then cast a blasting spell to frame Black, and turned into an Animagus and escaped!

Transforming into an Animagus while your body is disabled will affect the transformation of the Animagus!

In other words, the current mouse transformation of Peter Pettigrew's Animagus should be missing a toe!

And Hermione happened to know a mouse that was missing a toe!

However, she was not sure of her judgment. After all, if her guess was true, then how strong would Peter Pettigrew's Animagus level plus his psychological quality be?

"Professor, we're going to ask Ron to come, um, with his rats!"

Hermione's expression became a little cautious. Ron's mouse had been with the Weasley family for several generations. Hermione recalled that Ron once said that this mouse named Scabbers had been in his house for ten years. Got it!

How could an ordinary mouse live ten years?

The Weasley family is not rich enough to feed a mouse the elixir!

Dumbledore also understood what Hermione meant. He thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"No, Hermione, let's go straight to Mr. Weasley and his rats."

Dumbledore was a little worried that if their actions in calling Ron disturbed Peter Pettigrew, he would take risks and harm Ron and Harry.

And they went to Ron, Dumbledore could guarantee that.

Even if Scabbers is really Peter Pettigrew, he will never make any waves!
