Chapter 274 (1/2)
”Professor, Blake is telling the truth. We see Peter Pettigrew... ”
”- Professor Lu Ping escaped when he became a werewolf...”
”- he's a mouse...”
”- the front paw of Peter Pettigrew, I mean, fingers, he cut them off...”
”- Peter Pettigrew Ron, not Sirius...”
But Dumbledore raised his hand to stop the flow of explanation.
”Now it's your turn to listen, and I beg you not to interrupt me, for there is very little time.” He said calmly, ”there's no proof of Blake's story, except for your words - and the words of two 13-year-old witches can't convince anyone. Witnesses across the street swore they saw Sirius Black kill Peter Pettigrew. I have provided evidence to the Ministry of magic myself that Sirius is the porters' secret
”Professor Lu Ping can tell you...” Harry said he couldn't control himself.
”Harry!” Van Lim said that he stopped Harry's irrational behavior. Dumbledore was right. No one would be convinced by two 13-year-old witches. In addition, he was the same. Three little wizards, even if they were changed into three adults, would be in vain.
”At present, Professor Lu Ping is deep in the Forbidden Forest and can't tell anyone anything. When he becomes a man again, it will be too late. Sirius's fate is worse than death. I might be able to add one. Most of us don't trust werewolves so much that they don't have much weight - he's old friends with Sirius. ”
Dumbledore explained that he didn't look at Harry, he turned to van Lin.
”But --”
”listen to me, Harry. It's too late, you know? You have to understand that Professor Snape is far more persuasive than we are. ” Van Lin said, he looked back at Dumbledore, he seems to want to avoid Dumbledore's eyes, but this is not the way, he will face sooner or later, so he must look at Dumbledore.
”He hates Sirius,” Hermione said in despair. ”It's all because Sirius made stupid jokes on him...”
”Sirius did not act like innocent people. The attack on the fat lady. Take a knife into the Gryffindor tower Without Peter Pettigrew, alive or dead, we would not have been able to overturn Sirius
At this point, van Lin seems to have grasped something crucial. His mind constantly replays another person's memory. There is a prop that can help him achieve what he said.
”You believe in us, don't you?” Said Harry, looking at Dumbledore.
”Yes, I believe you...” Dumbledore said calmly, ”but I don't have the power to order others to see the truth or overthrow the Minister of magic...”
Harry glared at the serious face. It felt as if the ground was falling apart. He was used to the idea that Dumbledore could solve any problem. He had expected Dumbledore to come up with a solution out of thin air, but he didn't The last hope was dashed.
”What we need now,” Dumbledore said slowly, his pale blue eyes seeing Hermione from Harry, ”is more time.”
”But...” Hermione began. Then her eyes were wide open. ”Oh
”Now, pay attention,” said Dumbledore, in a low, clear voice, ”Sirius Star is locked in Professor Frye's room on the 13th window from the West Tower. If all goes well, you can save more than one innocent life tonight. But remember that, all three of you. It has to be invisible. Miss Granger, you know the law. You know what's dangerous Never - can't - be seen. ”
