The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave
Chapter 128: The Trial of Regulus
After finishing a day's classes, Sun Zhu collapsed on the bed, chewing Blowing Bao bubble gum and pinching Yuan Bao's paws to help her cut her nails.
To be honest, she had already developed excellent arm strength by carrying Yuanbao up and down every day, just based on his weight. Although she hoped that Yuanbao could exercise on his own, the cat-like cat, who did not have to go to class or do homework every day, often looked more tired than she was, lying there and not wanting to move.
In order to urge her to exercise, Sun Zhu had to often carry her to the lounge for her to be "caressed" by the big and small badgers. However, Sun Yuanbao, the fat cat, had a bad habit. If someone she didn't like touched her, she would avoid him with discomfort.
Of course, this is also one of the characteristics of a cat-like creature. Although Yuanbao is so fat that he can no longer be recognized, his ability to distinguish between good and evil is still there, and he still has a certain degree of aggressiveness.
"Yuanbao, I can see that you were just looking for a free long-term meal ticket, so you're relying on me, right? I won't argue with you anymore. It's not your fault that you're lazy and gluttonous. If I could, I'd like to do the same... But you have to control your body size."
Karina glanced at her, a little surprised: "Zhu, do you usually chat with your pet like this? I often see you talking to her, can she really understand?"
"Of course, my cat has Chinese blood and is very smart." Sun Zhu lied without blinking, "but she only listens to me."
Sun Zhu continued to persuade the whining fat cat earnestly: "Also, I have trimmed your claws for you. Be careful with the strength you use when you scratch people next time. After all, there are no bad people in Badger Courtyard. Even if you don't like it, just bear with it a little. It's hard for me to live like this."
"Zhu, you can't blame her for this!" Karina said indignantly, "That... Daisy's ex-boyfriend, he's not a good guy. If I were him, I would have tickled him too! Who told him to feed Yuanbao the snot-smelling multi-flavored beans!"
"Okay..." Sun Zhu scratched his head, "But don't do this next time. By the way, Yuanbao, I took you out so that you can lose weight through exercise, but why do you seem to be getting fatter and fatter... Could there be a lot of people in the lounge secretly feeding you?"
Karina retracted her head guiltily.
"Zhu, give up." Fina closed the book in her hand, glanced at her and said, "It's unlikely that your cat will lose weight. Compared to this, I think we should worry about something else."
"What's the matter?" Karina glanced at Fina and found that she was carefully putting the book in her hand into the innermost compartment of her bookcase.
"Today's three classes, Spells teaches protective spells, Potions teaches antidote potions, and Herbs teaches healing herbs. Don't you think it's a coincidence?" Fina propped up her chin and glanced at Sun Zhu who seemed to be thinking about something. "Of course, it's also possible that I'm overthinking."
"Wow, you still have time to think about this? I was only busy calculating how many points Professor Snape deducted from us in Potions class. Also, when will Professor Black come back? If he doesn't come back, we will have to ask Professor Snape to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts tomorrow..." Carina suddenly began to waile.
Sun Zhu sighed: "Well, I think what you said makes sense, but there's no need to be too nervous. We still have to learn after all, and if there are any problems, the professors will take care of it."
Her letter must have alerted Dumbledore, so he notified teachers of various subjects to teach some protective magic to be prepared for any eventuality.
As for Sirius, he may still have some time to spare. The system said that he applied for the Order of Merlin for Regulus, but encountered considerable resistance when clarifying his identity.
After all, Regulus was a real Death Eater more than ten years ago, and most of the Black family were fanatical supporters of Voldemort. Sirius suddenly ran to the Ministry of Magic and said that his brother who had been missing for many years was actually an unsung hero who resisted Voldemort, but he could not provide enough evidence.
Even with Dumbledore's letter and Regulus's suicide note, former Director of the Department of Law Enforcement Barty Crouch and current Director Amelia Bones were still not completely convinced.
"A reformed Death Eater? Mr. Black, this is the most...ridiculous joke I have ever heard." Old Barty shook his head, his eyes filled with indescribable mockery and fatigue. "Besides you, the wronged hero, the Black family now has a second one? You should at least take out the so-called treasure of the mysterious man, otherwise I won't believe it."
"That thing is extremely important and dangerous. I can't carry it with me!" Sirius's brow was full of annoyance. "Mr. Crouch, I'm sorry that you don't believe me, but I won't lie about this. I won't lie like this for a Black."
"Well, Mr. Black, please don't get excited." Amelia looked at Regulus' letter carefully and sighed. "There is no doubt that your brother did something extraordinary back then. But one thing is undeniable, he was indeed a Death Eater back then, right?"
Sirius was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "I think so. But, Dumbledore said..."
"Principal Dumbledore wrote to me that he believes 'as long as you are willing to come back, you are welcome at any time.' I also admire your brother's actions, but as the Director of the Law Enforcement Department, all of Mr. Regulus Black's actions in the past should be tried and adjudicated before their merits and demerits can be clarified. I cannot judge alone." Amelia adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, with peace and persistence in her eyes.
Sirius nodded. "I understand what you mean. That guy, I don't know what he did back then. He followed that Voldemort... hum, the man whose name must not be mentioned. He is always so stupid. But I know he is not a violent person. At that time, he... was not even an adult. What could he do? He was surrounded by a bunch of lunatics, and no one would tell him that he was deceived. Fortunately, he discovered this himself."
Amelia waved her hand, and a cup of hot tea fell in front of Sirius. "I will consider your opinion comprehensively - whether Mr. Regulus Black was underage and weak-minded, and was bewitched and led astray."
"Amelia!" Old Batty called out to her in some pain, "You... you know exactly what kind of people they are. How can you be soft-hearted in front of them? People who have made mistakes cannot be offset so easily!"
"What if he knows he is wrong and is willing to make amends? Director Crouch, although I shouldn't mention this to you, I think that if you moderate your attitude on some issues, it might be more effective." She smiled at the two men in front of her and nodded at them. "As you two know, the magic world is about to face a huge unknown disaster again. Before that, we must not only gain strength, but also gain spiritual firmness. Otherwise, we will be defeated without the You-Know-Who's comeback."
"The trial of Regulus Black will be held secretly in the Wizengamot courtroom on the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic in three days. The results of the trial will be announced in the Daily Prophet, but some matters related to Horcruxes may be temporarily hidden." After the system relayed the conversation between the three people, it told Sun Zhu the results of their discussion: "If everything goes well, Sirius will be back before the weekend of this week."
Sun Zhu flipped through the books he had borrowed from the library and nodded, "I understand. Things have to be done one by one, and I believe that everything will go smoothly."
"In addition, there is another thing going on at the same time, but it doesn't seem to be going smoothly." The system hesitated and said, "Regarding the Lestrange family vault, Dumbledore applied to Gringotts for permission to check, but the goblins refused to allow anyone except the owner of the property to enter. It may require a call from the Ministry of Magic to confirm that there are things related to the Dark Lord in the vault. But this may not convince the stubborn goblins."
Sun Zhu put down the "Outline of International Magic Law" in his hand, picked up the "History of the Domestication of Magical Creatures", rubbed his eyes helplessly and said: "It is indeed difficult. After all, goblins have their own set of standards for behavior, and their magic system is also different from that of wizards. If it is a house elf, they will naturally obey everything, but goblins, especially goblins who manage money, will never be obedient."
Since legal procedures don't work, it looks like unconventional measures will have to be taken in the end.
