Chapter 100 That's the truth
Daily Prophet urgent news

"A horrific murder took place last night in Godric's Hollow. According to sources, the Dark Lord broke into Potter's home on the night of October 10 and brutally murdered two young couples, James and Lily. Attempts to kill their child who are still infants, but when they murdered their child Harry Potter, the Dark Lord's death curse failed for unknown reasons. According to the analysis of senior Aurors, the Dark Lord is suspected of being killed by himself. He died from the damage of the Killing Curse, and the boy who was attacked by the Killing Curse and survived has been protected by Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts." The cover of the Daily Prophet clearly described last night's tragedy, And in large fonts, titles such as 'Godric's Hollow Incident', 'The Downfall of Mysterious Man' and 'The Boy Who Lived' were written.

Anduin couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He didn't expect the tragedy he never wanted to face to happen, but he couldn't figure it out, wasn't the Lily family protected by Dumbledore, and Sirius, he was not responsible for protecting Lily Is it a family, how can such a tragedy still happen?

Anduin continued to read the Daily Prophet, trying to find the answer, and on the second page, Anduin saw the news of Sirius, but it was bad news.

The newspaper reported that Sirius was in a Muggle street, blew up the entire street with a spell, and killed Peter Pettigrew and twelve Muggles, and was captured by the hitters who arrived at the scene. And the reason he did this was because Sirius betrayed the Potters and directly caused the Godric's Hollow incident.

"What?" Anduin looked at the report in the newspaper with some surprise, and was stunned for a while, and Vivian next to him was also startled by his loud roar.

After confirming the news of the downfall of the Dark Lord, the surrounding little wizards were all excited to celebrate. Some people threw their wizard hats on their heads, some people fired fireworks over the auditorium, and some people even jumped on The dining table shouted loudly, including many Slytherin students beside Anduin, only those little pure-blood wizards stared at the newspaper with disbelieving expressions.

At this time, Anduin's face has long lost the excitement and joy of last night, and his expression is full of doubt and anger!
'Cumbling', Anduin stood up from the seat, grabbed the newspaper and ran outside the auditorium, Vivian watched him hurriedly leave without knowing why.

'Bang bang bang', Anduin knocked on the door desperately outside Professor McGonagall's office. Professor McGonagall is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He should know what happened.

But Anduin waited for a long time, but there was no movement inside. It seemed that Professor McGonagall was not there, and Anduin turned around and rushed to Professor Burns' office.

Professor Burns opened the office door and saw Anduin gasping for breath, clutching a newspaper in his hand, and immediately understood what was going on, knowing that it was him who was also shocked by what happened last night. .

"Is this true Professor?" Anduin stared at Professor Burns and unfolded the Daily Prophet in his hand.

"Yes, Dumbledore knew all this last night. He and Professor McGonagall have now left Hogwarts. He arranged for me to stay at Hogwarts to take care of the students." Professor Burns said solemnly. .

Immediately after, Anduin opened another page of the newspaper, "Is this true? Sirius... did he really betray the Potters?"

"Hey!" Professor Burns sighed, "I know you have a good relationship with Sirius, but unfortunately, according to the information we have learned so far, Sirius does..."

"It's impossible!" Anduin yelled in disbelief. "I know him, and I know his relationship with the Potters. There must be something wrong!"

"You calm down first, Anduin." Professor Burns pulled Anduin into the room and let him sit down. "Facts speak louder than words, and I don't want to believe this would happen, but..."

"Is there any evidence? Even if he killed Peter Pettigrew, maybe there is something hidden in it?" Anduin still couldn't accept this fact. His friend Lily, who he thought was safe, could not escape his fate, but his Another friend was one of the accomplices.

"Hey, now it's time for me to tell you the truth." Burns thought for a while, "I know you once advised Dumbledore to protect the Lily family, but you know what methods they used to protect them. Is it from the Lily family?"

Anduin frowned, looking at Professor Burns for unknown reasons.

"The Lily family has never left their original residence, but the Dark Lord and Death Eaters have never been able to find them. Do you know why?" Burns reminded Anduin.

"I haven't left, but I can't find it, what do you mean?" Anduin thought for a while, and then he thought of something, "Crimson Loyalty Charm? So that's why my memory of their address suddenly disappeared?"

Burns nodded. He knew that Anduin had accumulated a lot of knowledge, and he must have seen it all. "So you know why we are so sure."

"You mean, Sirius is Lily and James' secrecy?" Anduin asked.

"Yeah, didn't you realize that after hiding the Potters, Sirius disappeared," Burns reminded. "At first we thought he was hiding himself from the Death Eaters, but it might be it's not true."

"Is it possible that the Death Eaters found and captured him, and then revealed Lily's residence after being tortured?" Anduin couldn't accept such a result.

"If that's the case, where did he get the spirit to attack Peter?" Burns said solemnly, "and you may not know enough about the Faithful Curse. Unless the keeper actively leaks it, it is an Imperius Curse. Or Veritaserum can't pry open his mouth."

"That's the truth, that's the truth..." Anduin sighed and looked at the newspaper in front of him in disappointment. Although he couldn't believe it, Professor Burns ruthlessly pierced his fantasy.

"Hey." Professor Burns knew that Anduin, the Potters, and Sirius had a deep friendship, and now he didn't know how to comfort them.

Anduin doesn't know how he got back to the Forbidden Forest cabin. Now he is still shocked by the news he just received. He didn't know the development of the plot at first. Same.

But when he really got into it, he realized that he couldn't look at these living people coldly from the perspective of a third party. Lily, who has always been kind and gentle and helpful to him, is free and unrestrained. Even Sirius, it was not until they left that he felt this inexplicable loss from the bottom of his heart.
