[HP] Read "No Peace"

Presumably, Sirius would think at this time: I would rather stay in Azkaban for the rest of my life than let some snotluck save me.

And Snape probably thought the same way: so why can't that stupid dog stay in Azkaban forever!

……

【Albus was originally happy for his former student, but the situation of Sirius just now made him feel that this matter was still beyond his imagination.

Right and wrong, what I once believed and what I saw now, what other people said and what I thought, many threads were crowded in Albus's head like a ball of thread messed up by a cat, and Albus Si decided to find the thread from Sirius.

So Sirius looked up to see the former old professor, in floral shirt and Muggle jeans, smiling and looking When I was alone, I couldn't help choking and coughing.

"Oh—shit—I'm sorry Professor, I wasn't talking about you." Sirius put the thick-bottomed wine glass on the table, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and casually wiped his front. 】

Hermione frowned in embarrassment.Swearing is really hard for her to accept.

Sirius next to him muttered an apology.

【Albus waited patiently for him to wipe up the drink he coughed up. He didn't speak, but just looked at Sirius quietly.In terms of patience, Sirius has never been his opponent - there are probably very few opponents in this world, in terms of patience.

"Okay, Albus." Sirius muttered, "Why did you come here suddenly? I mean, I heard you went back to the country, so, for a trip?"]

Hermione was thoughtful.

["The original intention is to travel." Albus said, "it's very interesting to travel in the way of Muggles occasionally. Their whimsical ideas, such as the magnetic card tickets of the subway, etc., are really fascinating. The last time I took the subway was four Five years ago, they could do a lot of incredible things without magic, couldn't they?"

Albus's soft and slow words eased Sirius' tense and resistant mood a little.

"Yes." The black-haired wizard raised his head, his gray eyes were full of inquiry, distrust and scrutiny, "Harry once told me that if a wizard keeps standing still and doesn't try to make progress, he will soon be dismissed." Muggles kill - not power, but lust."

"It is not power that kills us, but desire," Albus repeated.He fell silent, his head bowed, his silver beard and hair gleaming in the sun.

"I'm glad Harry said that, Sirius."

He didn't expect that these words made Sirius' eyes sparkle. 】

"I really don't understand," Harry whispered.

"You will understand after listening," Dumbledore said calmly.

【"Back then—" Sirius's voice was urgent and fast, as if many voices and words were scrambling to come out of his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, as if to say something first, "Back then—it was you To protect Muggles, but in fact, they don't need protection at all!" He said this first, and then his chest heaved, his bright eyes fixed on Albus, "Harry is now with the snot--Snape Together, they turned to seek cooperation with Muggles." There was some contempt in his voice, and he didn't know who it was for,]

"I'll never be right—"

"I know."

["It's the same with Voldemort, he is with Grindelwald (Albus noticed that Sirius looked at him more seriously and looked a little more inquisitively when he mentioned Grindelwald-maybe he cried at the school dinner on the Fourth of June The scene where you lost your voice was too amazing?)]

"Sure," Riddle put in.

[Pursue cooperation with Muggles instead of killing——Professor Dumbledore, your methods are outdated, you can no longer use this as an excuse to make us fight for you, right?I really want to know when James and Lily—"

Albus saw the excited young student in front of him (Sirius was still young, of course, in his eyes) shaking vigorously.

Sirius' voice choked with sobs, "If this had come earlier, Albus, if Voldemort hadn't made a mistake, wouldn't many tragedies have been avoided?"

Albus is sure that for Sirius, the greatest pain is not Azkaban - those 12 years took away his health, but not his enthusiasm and vitality - but from his best friend james porter.

"Sirius, my boy," he said softly, "the world is not always tender."

"So the way to peace should be paved with the blood of innocent people?"

"I'm not sure the world right now makes everyone happy, but I deeply regret your pain."]

Sirius shrugged, not knowing what he wanted to express.

[The conversation with Sirius was very brief, but his reaction made Albus confirm that he, the one who used to be, never hurt (whether intentionally or not) James and Lily.

He believed that Sirius loved his friend James as much as Harry, and as an old man, he saw confusion and alienation in Sirius' eyes, but not hatred.

Hurting innocent people was something he hated most in his life and tried his best to avoid (although he could not completely avoid it), but today's incident made his heart calm and his heart surge because of it.

If it is said that Sirius, the closest friend of James, cannot produce conclusive evidence that Dumbledore killed James and his wife (his resentment against Dumbledore focuses on "why can't peace come sooner" and "since Harry can do it, why can't you?"), so where did the rumors about himself come from?

This seems more like an excuse and slander to get Albus out of Hogwarts (which Albus defines with less self-effacement), and if that's the case, he doesn't seem to have much to pursue further necessary.

In fact, when Albus thought about this, he rarely fell into a state of confusion. 】

The 12 people present were more or less lost in thought.

[When he just appeared in this world and was kicked out of Hogwarts, when he returned to Godric's Hollow and met Aberforth who wanted to comfort his brother, when he read the previous letters, When he was laughing at it, when he was traveling and talking to Sirius, Albus was always exploring everything: this strange, similar and different world, through the few words he could gather, he seemed to see Got to the rough road before the status quo (under Dumbledore's oppression), and now, everything is fine - the wizarding world, his students and friends - except that he suddenly needs to be beaten Then step on the big devil with [-] feet (maybe it's white?).

Albus sighed at that, and if it was the price of making all the living happy, then he thought it was fine. 】

Voldemort laughed sarcastically.

And Grindelwald looked puzzled.

【Albus decided to find something to do for his retirement life, really find something, although he still has doubts in his heart, but he is not the kind of age that sees strange things and rushes forward.He has lived long enough and long enough to know that this world is so wonderful that anything can happen (such as running to another strange world after being hit by the death curse), and rash actions will only break it. A hard-won balance—he thought, maybe he really should take a vacation to Hawaii, a beautiful summer day, perfect for lying on the beach and slathering sunscreen all over his long nose.

Thinking this way, Albus decided to leave. He paid for the ice cream (which he asked for just now when he was thinking about something), and then decided to leave.

At the door, he saw Harry. 】
