The Reform and Opening of the Magic World [Comprehensive British and American]

Steve could clearly feel that the other side of Sirius' emotions, which had been suppressed all along, had a faint tendency to lose control after hearing the name Harry Potter.In fact, in Steve's eyes, Sirius's attitude since he was sober is very abnormal.Indeed, when he talked about the process of being wronged, mentioned the mysterious man as the culprit, and Peter as the traitor, the hatred he showed was very obvious, but besides hatred, what about other emotions?

As a man who was framed and imprisoned in the prison of wizards for more than ten years, apart from the hatred for the murderer, any normal person will have the grief and resentment of being distrusted and abandoned by relatives and friends, as well as being imprisoned. After more than ten years of unwillingness, after this kind of person is released from prison, what he hates is not only the murderers who put him in prison, but also the incompetent management agencies, and even the whole society.

But apart from the hatred for the mysterious man and Peter, Sirius was very calm when he mentioned other aspects, as if even though he was a scapegoat, he also accepted this fate, the only thing he felt dissatisfied with It's not that I have been wronged, but that the culprit is still at large.When listening to Sirius' narration, Steve had an illusion. He felt that Sirius thought he was guilty, so he didn't have much resentment for his unjust life.

With this in mind, Steve has never let go of his guard against him, even Thor, who is usually careless.After all, a guy who just escaped from prison not only did not hide his identity, but frankly explained to them that he was a fugitive. This kind of behavior is abnormal no matter how you look at it.You must know that they are not his relatives and friends, but just a group of strangers. Besides, Steve and Thor are people with special identities, so naturally they have to think more.

When Sirius proposed to go back to the magic world to catch the culprit, Steve instead suggested that he go back to the magic world to find out the truth. Take a look around the world to find out if the truth is what Sirius said it was.

Fortunately, the entrance to the wizarding world is a bar with mixed fish and dragons. Although the appearance of this bar looks very dilapidated, unexpectedly there is a lot of traffic. When Sirius and Steve sneaked in, except for the boss No one noticed them.Fortunately, the wizards in the bar have all kinds of strange costumes, and they don't stand out among them even if they completely hide their faces under the black robes.

After ordering some desserts and beers, Sirius and Steve quietly listened to the conversation in the room. Steve found that Sirius' jailbreak was a hot topic in the wizarding world at this time, and everyone was talking about it. When the name was mentioned, there was disgust and fear of Death Eaters in the tone.In Sirius’ explanation to Thor and himself, the term Death Eater was not included. Steve glanced at Sirius who was the subject of the topic, but found that his attitude was very calm, except that half of his face was pale. Scary, even the corners of his mouth seemed to have lost all color.

Looking at it now, he was not really reconciled to the grievances of more than ten years.

Steve noticed that there was a stack of newspapers on the bar counter of the bar, and the owner of the Leaky Cauldron didn't care about the guests flipping them at will, so Steve naturally took a newspaper and flipped it over in the name of adding drinks. When he got up, Steve was taken aback when he saw the moving photos in the newspaper, and then sat down next to Sirius in a natural way.Then he noticed that Sirius' body was trembling slightly, his eyes half covered by the cloak were staring at the man who had just entered the bar.

It was a man much taller than the average person, and Steve noticed that the guests in the bar called him Hagrid the half-giant, and he was the caretaker of Hogwarts, and Hogwarts was also the little The place Sirius mentioned frequently before.

Then, from the mouth of the half-giant, Steve got more information about the mysterious man and Harry, the boy who survived the catastrophe, and gradually pieced together from the mouths of the guests in the bar.Although he didn't get any news that could confirm Sirius's innocence, there is one thing he can be sure of. For example, the mysterious man in everyone's mouth is indeed a villain. Steve couldn't help but associate him with the image of the Nazis. , What this person did is almost the same as Hitler.

When mentioning the Boy Who Lived, Steve frowned and said, "...How can you put such a burden on a minor child." The Boy Who Lived, such a reputation Not a good thing for a 12-year-old.Moreover, what kind of mentality does this group of adult wizards use to entrust a child to face the Nazis? As a group of adults, shouldn't they feel ashamed?

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the breathing of Sirius beside him became heavier.

Sirius didn't speak, but a drunken wizard sitting not far from Steve heard Steve's words. He poured the wine into the inside and smiled, "Because that kid is not ordinary, The mysterious man disappeared because of him, of course it is something to be happy about!"

Steve didn't like such a statement, and he didn't want to argue with the local wizards here. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Maybe."

He could understand the joy of these people after they were liberated from the oppression of the mysterious man. After all, people who have been in a terrifying environment for a long time can imagine how depressed their mood is.Calling the old man named Dumbledore and Harry's little baby the savior, and exaggerating their greatness, is also to vent the long-term depression and get rid of the shadow in the heart caused by the mysterious person.

They were ecstatic, cheering for themselves, for Dumbledore, and for Harry Potter. The newly born child entered everyone's field of vision, and he was called the Boy Who Lived.

On the same day, the child who knew nothing lost his parents.

In the end, Steve and Sirius only stayed in the Leaky Cauldron for more than an hour before leaving. They did not go to Diagon Alley through the bar, because Steve had already obtained a lot of useful information, and also because Sirius There was a big problem with his emotions, and he felt that if he continued to stay, he might be exposed.

Sure enough, after leaving the Leaky Cauldron, Sirius's originally steady steps gradually became messy. It was as if he was tied up with a weight all over his body, and it was difficult for him to walk. His suppressed emotions had been controlled to the limit.Finally, when he turned to an empty alley, Steve behind him heard the cry of collapse.

This person didn't cry when he escaped from prison and saw the light of day again, and he didn't cry when he told about his grievances, but when he heard about the current situation of a child, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.Deep guilt and remorse poured out with the crying, but these could not wash away what had happened in the past.Those ten years of life in Azkaban seemed to have cut off half of his life, and also sealed up all his emotions, which were not released until now.

The pain caused by the death of my best friend because I asked to change the secret person.

The guilt of letting the godson who lost his parents grow up alone.

These feelings crushed a man who was once the proudest.

Steve didn't bother him, and waited until he fell asleep exhausted, then carried him on his shoulders and brought him back to the hotel where Thor lived.

I don't know if the child that Sirius is thinking about is aware of his existence.

……

"Sirius...huh?"

In the toilet at Hogwarts, Harry, who was squatting in the pit, heard Ron, who was squatting next door, mention this name, and asked in confusion.

"That's right, Harry, do you know what I found out? It turns out that Sirius is the guy who betrayed your parents. Now that he has escaped from Azkaban, he will definitely come to take revenge on you... um!" Enshen said mysteriously, although his parents always wanted to hide it, he still pieced together the truth from his brothers.

"Hmph! At that time, we still don't know who will take revenge on whom... Mmm!" Harry raised his sword eyebrows and said viciously.

"...um." Malfoy next door.

While the two were talking, neither of them noticed the figure of a house elf flashing past.Dobby held three rolls of toilet paper in his hand, and his eyes were filled with tears. He was completing what Dumbledore told him to do, giving the young Harry Potter a little more training and letting him learn to rely on magic.

Ron, who hadn't noticed anything missing in the toilet, thought about the thin appearance of Sirius in the newspaper, and then thought of Harry's appearance of tearing up the troll, and immediately felt relieved, saying: "Anyway, you should pay more attention to it." Come on, I'll go back to the lounge first." As he spoke, he habitually reached out to hook the toilet paper, but all he got was a piece of ice cold, and the place where the toilet paper was originally hung was now empty.

Strange, remember when you first came in there was still a full roll of toilet paper? !

Ron stuck out his head helplessly, and said to Harry, "Do you still have toilet paper?"

When Harry heard this, he immediately turned his head to look, and saw that the place where the toilet paper was hung was also empty, and he said in astonishment, "It's gone, what should I do..."

"..." Malfoy turned to look at his own empty toilet paper hanger.

"What to do, it's almost Potions class, we'll be late!" Ron covered his face with his hands, feeling terrible.

"Brother Luo, don't panic, let's wait, there will definitely be someone to show respect to later!" Harry reassured.

Next door to Harry, Draco sat on the toilet with a smile and closed the book in his hand, took out his wand and silently released a fresh clean on his buttocks, pulled up his trousers smartly and walked away.

When he left, he also hung a sign that the men's bathroom was temporarily closed for repairs.
