Dracula returns to Hogwarts with a new-looking Sirius Black.
After taking a bath in the pond, trimming his dirty beard and hair, and changing his clothes, Sirius was now wearing a black striped suit and tie.
Except that his face is still too thin, and his expression still has a bit of a crazy temperament after coming out of Azkaban, Sirius really has a bit of the school idol look back then.
He is tall and tall, with a face that is too thin but still looks handsome and elegant. He has clean and trimmed black hair that is elegant and beautiful, and has a pair of striking gray eyes. There is a kind of careless arrogance in his every move, free and uninhibited.
"I didn't expect you to be the school darling of Hogwarts?" Dracula looked at Sirius coming out of the fitting room of Mrs. Malkin's clothing store and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Is it okay for me to be exposed to others like this?" Sirius glanced at Mrs. Malkin, who was cutting clothes next to him, and approached Dracula and asked.
He had spent a lot of time in hiding, and now standing openly in a clothing store, he felt a little guilty.
"It's okay, don't feel too good about yourself." Dracula said, "Did Mrs. Malkin look at you?"
Only then did Sirius dare to raise his head and look at the clothing store owner carefully, and then he discovered that Mrs. Malkin's adoring eyes had never moved away from Dracula's face.
"It shouldn't be right?" Sirius touched his face, "I feel like I'm not uglier than you, so why does she only look at you?"
"Maybe you haven't fully recognized yourself yet. Although your skull face looks much stronger now than before, who gave you the courage to compare with me? Let's go back and take some good supplements!"
Dracula chuckled and snapped his fingers, and a dark moon quietly enveloped the two of them.
…
The next moment, Dracula and Sirius appeared together in the Hogwarts staff room.
At this time, Peter had woken up from the effects of Veritaserum and was bound to a chair by Dumbledore's binding spell, which was also firmly attached to the ground.
Dumbledore and Lupine were sitting at the table in the lounge, seemingly discussing something.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting on a couch, all looking puzzled.
Ron had just vomited, covering his mouth and looking a little pale.
Seeing Sirius' arrival, Peter squirmed uncomfortably, trying to break free from the restraints of the chair and escape, but he couldn't move an inch.
"Little...Sirius..." Peter had no choice but to smile in a flattering manner and said in a high-pitched voice, "My friend, my old friend...Long time no see..."
"You still know that we are your friends?!" After seeing Peter, Sirius's previously suppressed madness surged into his eyes again, "Then how did you treat your friends... how did you treat James? With Lily?"
"Yes... I'm sorry, but the Dark Lord is too powerful, and I really can't resist him." Peter shivered, cowering on the chair. ….
"Sirius, think about it...if you were me and were forced by the Dark Lord and a large group of Death Eaters to join them, or else you would die, what would you do..."
"I would rather die than betray my friends!" Sirius roared loudly without any hesitation.
Peter seemed frightened and cried sadly.
He was crying horribly, looking like an oversized bald baby, shaking on the floor, making the few little wizards present feel numb.
"Sirius, Sirius... what can I do?" Peter murmured, "The Dark Lord... you don't know, you can't even imagine how powerful he is... I was so scared at the time !」
"Sirius, I have never been as brave as you, Lupin, or James. I never did it on purpose...He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named forced me..."
"Don't lie!" Bu Lai
Kebao said filial piety, "Before Lily and James died, you have been passing information to him. You are his female agent! We have long been aware that there is a mole, but we have never thought about you. We all I was deceived by you!"
"He...he wants to meddle in everything!" Peter gasped, "What's...what's the benefit of rejecting him?"
"What's the benefit of fighting against the most evil demon in history?" At this time, Lupine, who had never said a word, stood up. "Isn't fighting against Death Eaters just about saving innocent lives, Peter?"
"You don't understand!" Peter lamented. "He's going to kill me, Remus!"
"Then you deserve to die!" Blake yelled, "It's better to die than to betray your friends. If you are trustworthy, we will do the same for you!"
Black and Lupine stood side by side, raising their wands towards Peter.
"You should understand," Lupine's tone seemed calmer, "If Voldemort doesn't kill you, we will kill you too. Goodbye, Peter."
"Wait a moment." Dumbledore suddenly clapped his hands, interrupting Sirius and Lupin's movements. "Before you do anything, I think we'd better ask the two parties involved what they think."
He looked at the three little wizards who were stunned on the sofa and said, "Harry, Ron, what do you think about this matter?"
"What can I think!" Ron glared at Peter with disgust, then his throat twitched and he said indistinctly, "This ugly, disgusting man, he used to sleep in my bed, and I often Hold him in your arms... ugh!"
He lowered his head and retched in pain.
Dumbledore waved his wand thoughtfully and pushed a trash can in front of Ron's face, keeping the ground clean at the same time.
Then, he looked at Harry next to Ron.
"I..." Harry froze.
He felt that the current scene was a bit unreal.
The wanted criminal that he had always considered a threat to him and whom he felt had a deep hatred for him, Sirius Black, had now become an innocent wizard who had spent more than ten years in Azkaban in vain.
But the pet rat that stayed with Ron and was regarded as a treasure by him suddenly turned into an ugly adult wizard, and he was the real traitor who betrayed Harry's parents! ….
For a moment, this drastic change left Harry a little confused.
"Well... well, Mr. Black, I have a question for you." After thinking for a while, he looked at Sirius, who was still glaring at Peter angrily, and said cautiously.
"Harry, don't call me Mr. Black, that's not the title you should use. Just call me Sirius." Sirius looked at Harry.
The moment he turned his head, all the madness, resentment, and mania in his eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only the deepest gentleness and care.
"Harry, I don't know if anyone has told you... I am your godfather." When he said this, Sirius was a little worried about gain and loss, and his voice was very soft.
"Yes, I know. Hagrid told me once." Harry smiled slightly, and Sirius' gentle eyes made him less nervous than before.
"Brei...well, Sirius, I want to know why you stayed in Azkaban for so long?" He asked, "You are innocent, Peter Pedro is the traitor! "
"No, Harry, I never thought that I was innocent...it means I killed them." Sirius said in a heavy voice, hoarsely, "It was I who persuaded Lily and James to replace me at the last moment. Peter Cheng serves as the secret keeper..."
"It's all my fault. I know how big a mistake I made. At that time, I thought Peter was dead, and I didn't have the shame to face my former friends again, so I thought...Azkaban is also a good place, at least suitable enough for me. Go and repent..."
"No, that's not the case!" Harry said loudly with red eyes, "You are not wrong! It was just the mouse who was wrong. He killed my parents and should not
It's up to you to atone! "
"Thank you, Harry..." Sirius' voice was trembling, "Actually, I never knew how to face you, and I didn't know if you would forgive me... It's so good to know that you didn't blame me. "
"Okay, Sirius, it's not time to be moved now." Lupine patted Sirius on the back and said softly, "We haven't dealt with that rat yet. He should pay the price for his betrayal."
"Yes, he must pay the price!" Sirius wiped the corners of his eyes, and when he turned around, his expression became vicious and crazy again.
"Wait a minute!" Harry suddenly shouted.
He stood up from the sofa and ran forward, blocking Peter.
"You can't kill him," he said, looking a little struggling, but his movements were very firm, "Yes, you can't."
Both Black and Lupine were shocked. They didn't know what Harry, who had just hated Peter so much, was thinking.
"Harry, it was this gangster who caused you to lose your parents!" Black shouted filial piety, "This groveling, dirty guy has no mercy on your family. Did you hear what he just said? His own stinky skin is better than The lives of your whole family matter."
"I understand," Harry gasped, "but we can hand him over to the Dementors, and he should be imprisoned in Azkaban... just don't kill him."
"Harry!" Peter's eyes widened with joy. He had almost lost hope of living, but he didn't expect that his enemy's child actually spared his life. "Thank you, thank you for being kind to me... thank you …”….
"I never spared your life for you!" Harry glanced at Peter with disgust and said with contempt, "I did this because I didn't think my father would want his best friend to kill someone...especially Kill people like you!"
"And if you die like this, it will be difficult to wash away Sirius' grievances..."
Black and Lupine looked at each other. After a while, their wands were lowered.
"You are the only one who has the right to make the decision, Harry," Black said, his expression seemed reluctant, "You don't have to worry about me, I don't care about the injustice... but you have to think about it. Something happened."
"He could have gone to Azkaban," Harry's tone gradually became firmer, "He should have been tortured by dementors for the rest of his life..."
"Let me interject."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Harry.
Everyone present turned their heads and moved their eyes towards the place where the sound came from.
Dracula, who had watched the show for a long time, was leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was shaking a goblet in one hand and holding a piece of pudding in the other hand. He looked at Peter and Harry with interest. direction.
Harry: "..."
Sirius: "...Do you really think you are watching a show, Professor Dracula?"
"Of course I'm watching the show, otherwise what would I do here?" Dracula said matter-of-factly, then put the wine glass in the air and gave a thumbs up to several people, "Wonderful, what a wonderful show. Make a show!"
"However, Potter, you seem to have overlooked one question - since Sirius Black can sneak out of Azkaban through the Animagus, why can't smaller and more inconspicuous rats escape? Woolen cloth?"
Harry was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't consider this issue.
"So I have a suggestion. Before giving this Mr. Pedillo to the dementors, let's turn him into a squib so that he completely loses his ability to transform!" Dracula said with great interest.

Looking at the eager Dracula, Dumbledore finally couldn't sit still.
"Ahem, Professor Dracula's proposal is indeed a solution..." He stood up from the sofa and dissuaded, "But then we still need Peter as proof to clear Sirius's name."
"If others know that we tortured Peter, the strength of this evidence will be greatly reduced."
"Let's do this. I will arrange for Fox to supervise him at all times to eliminate the possibility of him using Animagus to transform and escape."
Dumbledore then looked at Peter, "If you don't listen to the advice and insist on turning into a mouse and running away, Fawkes will immediately burn you to ashes! Peter, you should still know something about the flames of the phoenix."
Peter nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid that Dumbledore would regret it.
The more magic power he can retain, the more chance he will have. He feels he still has a chance!
"Tsk, it's boring." Dracula shrugged, stood up and walked towards the door of the lounge, "It seems that the show is over today, so it's time for the audience to leave!"
He opened the door and strolled out of the staff room.
"Wait a minute, Professor!" At this moment, Hermione suddenly called Dracula from behind.
"What's wrong?"
"Professor, Hagrid and Buckbeak are still waiting for your help!"
