Chapter 98 Adults Are Not Fairy Tales
The second trial was flat and uninteresting.
Crouch was still a little worried in advance, worried that Sirius would explode on the spot and make him unable to step down.
But it doesn't.
Nine years of prison life also wore away a lot of the unruliness in Sirius' temperament.
Generally speaking, the transformation of Animagus is still closely related to the character of the character.
Sirius' Animagus turned into a big dog, loyal and reliable, but also loves dogs, he is actually not a particularly wild person, especially when he is not barking, he looks good, a bit aristocratic style of elegance.
Of course, Sirius must have grievances, so Kane specially arranged for Sirius to watch an edited movie.
Sirius looked very complicated after reading it, and even the corners of his eyes were moist.
All of Peter's accusations are basically true to the facts, and those distorted parts are because Peter has become more and more sensitive, and he took some unintentional words as sarcasm.
Through this movie, Sirius realized his bastard side.
In fact, James was as bad as Harry's cousin Dudley back then. It's just that Dudley is so stupid that it makes people laugh, but James has a shrewdness similar to Tom Riddle. Very good at pretending to be cute in front of people and teachers. He is a naughty, mischievous, and even bad boy.
Those pranks were a bit too much, and they were already typical bullying, but it was the 1970s, and the place where the incident happened was the wizarding world in a closed society.
Bullies inflict pain and humiliation on others, and they laugh heartlessly. As for the sufferer, poor academic performance, ugliness, eccentricity, and lack of expression, so unpleasant, the professors have limited compassion, and it is self-evident who will be favored in an accident.
This is why Peter Pettigrew and James are so-called friends. There is no way to avoid hiding, either join or be punished.
Well, Lily Potter, who fell in love with the pushy bad boy, naturally had a not-so-glamorous side, or in other words, no one was ever young and immature.
Lily's maternal love for Harry is commendable, but this does not mean that she is a perfect person, a representative of truth, goodness and beauty, and a combination of good morals.
Conversely, although Harry's aunt Petunia is mean and partial, there is no love and hate for no reason in the world.
Lily is well-behaved and beautiful. She has been favored by her parents since she was a child. After attending Hogwarts, she spends her days with wizards, so she is naturally affected. She is able to cast magic and feels superior to others.
During the rebellious period, she was attracted by James, who was a little naughty and sweet-mouthed, and that kind of fart mentality was also revealed from time to time, so Petunia was not all jealous of her sister.
And Harry, because he has the blood of a wizard, can't control his magic power, and often makes all kinds of accidents, which he doesn't like to see.
But the Dursleys at least gave Harry basic support for his growth, including tutoring and negative teaching materials.
What would happen without these?
Kane thinks Tom Riddle is a good example.
Growing up openly in a jungle-like environment, he was slapped in the face by reality and groped for himself since he was a child. He learned to plunder, pretend, bully, pretend and submissively, just like a wild beast.
Children, teenagers, youth, adults, each stage has problems of one kind or another, family problems, social problems, and the grievances between Sirius and Peter Pettigrew are some of these problems.
Peter has a lot of resentment towards James and Sirius, but he has no resentment towards Lupine, but it is by no means good. Even the three of them alienated Lupine for a time.
When he was young, he was high-spirited and willing to help his brother. James and the others specially practiced Animagus, so that when Lupin turned into a werewolf, he could be by his side and help him.
But these friendships,
After graduating from Hogwarts and entering the society, with the occasional bad news coming from time to time, the trend of victory and defeat in wizarding wars became increasingly clear, and was constantly influenced, or put to the test.
Lupine was a werewolf, and was considered a creature of the dark, which was a potential problem. Lupine himself did not want to burden and alienate his good friends.
James, Sirius, and Peter also made choices. The three of them are members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they have to take into account the feelings of other members of the team. They can't guarantee that Lupine will be fine after being transformed into a werewolf. How can they persuade others to treat Lupine like them?
Besides, when the war was going on, and the opposing sides were bloody and red-eyed, people couldn't bear that Lupine's identity was normal. For the sake of the overall situation, Dumbledore also chose to remain silent.
Distant, gradually more distant. For Lupine, his friendship with James and others stayed at the stage of campus life. Although time has slightly faded it, he has no better memories, so he has always maintained the temperature of friendship.
For the three of James, Lupine is just a part of life. They have experienced many things, have friendship, love and so on.
Lu Ping, a best friend in writing, and a classmate in reading, gradually lost their connection, and even lost their common language. Goodbye can only be a drag on the campus years.
People are so close, or separated.
Now, nine years later, Sirius has felt the change in thinking after each embarked on the road of life, and the friendship is thick.
First Lupine, then Peter, and then look at yourself... It can be said that, except for the dead James whose image is frozen at that moment, everyone has their own difficulties, and they can't go back to the past .
Just like what Dumbledore said to Harry at the soul train station in the original history line: don't pity the dead, pity the living.
The dead have rested in peace, but the living still have to experience it, and how unsatisfactory life is...
Years have refined people's hearts, and after many years, the former teenagers have matured.
What is maturity? Maturity is to understand that life is a mess, there is no way that everything can be straightened out, right from wrong is right from wrong.
After all, Sirius made a compromise decision to deal with some things against his will to ensure the smooth progress of other things.
For example, inheriting the property of the Black family.
His mother, Walburga Black, died in 1985, a month before the Shafiq family turned themselves in for trial.
This witch, who married her cousin, was the kind of pure-blood supporter who made up her own mind to fool herself before Voldemort could fool her.
As long as Voldemort has any ability to govern, he should give Walburga a certificate, or have the opportunity to posthumously. This kind of "progressive person" who is conscious and willing to invest, be framed!
It's a pity that Voldemort couldn't even make his own list. Naturally, Walburga's investment was in vain, and was later counterattacked by the Ministry of Magic under the banner of justice and plundered.
Walburga was woken up, the little legacy of the Black family was finally left to Sirius, not his cousin who was still in prison.
But just having the right of inheritance is not enough for Sirius to get what belongs to him smoothly.
He accepted the plan offered by the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce Litigation Club.
For a show to restore his reputation, the plan was very considerate for him, including reporting and interviews, a trip was done, and the drama arrangement was not too much, and it passed after a bit of patience.
A smile wipes away all grievances. The prodigal son turns his back on gold. There is a successor to the Black family...
Big newspapers and tabloids, a wave of washing water came overwhelmingly. Now it is the 90s, the media is not as shameless and insane as it was later, and most of the people are kind people who are easy to be fooled and are willing to believe something.
With her reputation restored, the Ministry of Magic is not easy to make things difficult, and there are special affairs handlers to assist, and the inheritance goes smoothly.
Mainly real estate, Twelve Grimmauld Place, and a small estate in Northampton, the latter not a secret.
These two places are dilapidated and uninhabitable. No. 12 Grimmauld Place is at least a secret, but Northampton Manor is dilapidated, and if you want to inherit it, you have to pay a fine and arrears to the Muggle authorities.
If you want to repair it, even if it is a simple one, you have to invest ten thousand gold Galleons in the two places.
Sirius took all the items from the Black family vault from Gringotts and threw them to the affairs assistant sent by the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce.
"Together with those two properties, please come up with the best solution."
"Okay, Mr. Black, this is one of the specialties of the chamber of commerce. There will be a professional team to conduct a comprehensive assessment and calculation, and it won't take long."
