Chapter 270 Dumbledore's Arrival

"What did you do?" Hermione asked. "I mean, the dementors looked like they were running away..."

"Escape from the Forbidden Forest?" Fan Lin asked.

"Yes, that's true. Professor Snape still finds it very incredible..."

Fan Lin looked towards the door of the school doctor's office. There were three shadows there, two of them were Snape and Fudge, and the other short and fat figure was, not surprisingly, Madam Pomfrey. The school doctor's office was her territory.

"Didn't you hear the bell?" Fan Lin asked, "Just when I couldn't hold on anymore, someone released a powerful Patronus Curse on the other side of the lake. I thought it was Professor Snape. But there were too many dementors, and a patronus spell was simply not enough to drive away all the dementors, and then I heard a huge bell..."

"And after that?"

"The dementors seem to have receded..." Fan Lin covered his head, seeming to be trying to recall the scene, but it was of no use, "I don't know, I fainted, and when I woke up I Saw you..."

"Actually, I didn't hear the bell. I only saw someone completely fainting after releasing the Patronus Charm..."

"Harry!" Hermione shouted in surprise, and now everyone except Ron was awake.

"Eat a piece of chocolate, it will be useful." Hermione reached out her hand, and she put a piece of chocolate into Harry's hand.

This was obviously not something Harry could refuse. He reached out and took it, tore off the tinfoil in two clicks, and stuffed the entire chocolate into his mouth.

"Okay..." Fan Lin said, "It seems that I was hallucinating..."

However, Harry had no intention of continuing the discussion. He struggled to sit up, and eating a piece of chocolate made him feel much better.

"How's Ron?" Harry asked

"He will live," Hermione said. "Mrs. Pomfrey just came here. She gave Ron some potions to stabilize his mental strength..."

Harry sat up, put on his glasses, and picked up his wand.

"I have to see the principal," he said.

"What do you want to do?" Fan Lin asked?

"What surprised me most was the behavior of the Dementors... Do you really have no idea what made them retreat, Snape?"

Cornelius Fudge's voice came from outside the door again, and they were still discussing what happened tonight.

"I don't know, Minister. When I rushed over, they were returning to their posts at each entrance..."

"What an anomaly. But Black, Harry, and Al..."

"When I got to them they were all unconscious. Of course I tied up Blake, gagged him, called for a stretcher and took them straight back to the castle."

The conversation seemed to have stopped, and Harry gritted his teeth, seeming to be thinking about something.

"You know, this is it..." Harry said, he lifted off his quilt and got out of the bed, heading straight for the door.

"Harry..." Fan Lin called out, and he quickly got up. Hermione quickly held Fan Lin's body with her hands.

Fanlin's shouts had reached the corridor, and Connelly and Snape immediately entered the ward.

"Harry, Harry, what's the matter?" said Fudge, looking anxious. "You should be in bed - has he eaten any chocolate?"

"Minister, listen!" said Harry, "Black is innocent! Peter Pettigrew faked his own death! We saw him tonight! You can't let the dementors do that to Black, he was... "

But Fudge shook his head, smiling slightly.

"Harry, Harry, you are confused. You have just experienced a terrible disaster. Lie back. Now. Everything is in place..."

"No!" Harry shouted, "You have arrested the wrong person!"

"Minister, please listen to us." Hermione said. She had already hurried to stand next to Harry and was looking at Fudge's face with inquiring eyes. "I saw him too. That's Ron's rat, he's an Animagus, Peter Pettigrew, I mean, and..."

"Did you see that, Minister?" said Snape, "the brains are confused, all three of them are the same... Black has done a good job on them..."

"We're not out of our minds!" Harry yelled. "Minister! Professor!" Madam Pomfrey said angrily, "I must insist that you leave. Potter is my patient and he should not be distressed!"

"I'm not upset, I'm going to tell them what happened!" Harry said angrily, "If they would listen to me..."

"You should go back to bed now, Potter!" Madam Pomfrey said in a tone of refusal. She didn't know if Harry had ever eaten chocolate, but this did not affect her.

She didn't know where a large piece of chocolate conjured up. The chocolate was as hard as a rock, and the gap between it and Hermione's was not that big.

Madam Pomfrey stuffed the chocolate into Harry's mouth, and Harry almost choked.

She took the opportunity to force him back into bed. "Okay, minister, please, these children need to be taken care of, please leave." The door opened again, and Dumbledore came in. Harry swallowed the big mouthful of chocolate and stood up again. "Professor Dumbledore, Black..."

"For God's sake!" Madam Pomfrey said hysterically, "Is this the school hospital? Headmaster, I must insist..."

"I apologize, Poppy, but I want to speak to Mr. Potter, Mr. Al and Miss Granger." Dumbledore said calmly, "I just spoke to Black."

"I think what he told you was the fairy tale he transplanted into Potter's mind, right?" Snape said disdainfully, "What a mouse, Peter Pettigrew is still alive..."

"Yes, that's what Black said," said Dumbledore, looking carefully at Snape through his semicircular glasses. "Then my evidence doesn't count?" Snape growled. "Peter Pettigrew was not in the Shrieking Shack, and I saw no sign of him in the Forbidden Forest."

"You fainted at that time, Professor..." Fan Lin said, "We are just stating a fact."

"Mr. Al, shut up!"

"Okay. Snape," Fudge said, startled, "Isn't this young gentleman confused? We must be tolerant of him..."

"He is not confused..." Harry said angrily, "Fan Lin was just stating a fact, and..."

"Oh... Harry..." Cornelius Fudge put his hand on Harry, "Calm down Harry, everything has been solved perfectly..."

"No, Little Sirius..."

"Stop talking, Harry!" Fan Lin gently pulled Harry's body with his hand. Fan Lin was still very clear about Cornelius Fudge's attitude, whether it was after the Sirius incident or the return of Voldemort, no matter what Look, Cornelius Fudge's attitude towards this kind of thing is to adhere to the conservative theory, that is, to avoid, avoid all things related to the Dark Lord, and resolutely refuse to acknowledge the return of the Dark Lord, just like an ostrich, burying his head In the soil.

"I'm sorry, Minister, Professor Snape." Fanlin said, he pulled Harry behind him, and Fanlin looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore had something to say to them. Dumbledore had already talked with Sirius. Fanlin believed that Dumbledore had his own judgment. Regarding Sirius and these things, he was waiting for Dumbledore's reaction. .

"I want to speak alone with Harry and Hermione," Dumbledore said suddenly. "Cornelly, Severus, Poppy - please leave us."

Dumbledore's words revealed a meaning that could not be rejected. He had to stand up, his eyes were very deep, and he was responding to Fan Lin.

Fan Lin suddenly felt that his whole body was exposed to Dumbledore's sight. Some of his... naked feelings made him very uncomfortable and he was a little frightened.

Without hesitation, the Occlumency technique started working immediately, which made Fan Lin's frightened feeling lessened a lot.

Dumbledore seemed a little surprised. He took a gentle breath, raised his eyebrows slightly, and something seemed to light up in his eyes, but it only lasted for a moment. Dumbledore quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Headmaster!" Madam Pomfrey said angrily, "They need treatment, they need rest."

"This cannot wait," said Dumbledore. I must persist. Madam Pomfrey pouted and walked to her office at the end of the ward, slamming the door behind her. Fudge looked at the big gold pocket watch hanging from his vest. "The Dementors should be there now." Here they are," he said, "and I'm going to meet them. Dumbledore, see you upstairs. "

He walked to the door, held it open, and waited for Snape to come out, but Snape did not move. "You certainly don't believe a word of Black's story, do you?" Snape asked in a low voice, staring at Dumbledore's face. "I want to talk to Harry, Verlin and Hermione alone." Dumbledore repeated. Snape took a step closer to Dumbledore. "Sirius Black showed he could be a murderer when he was sixteen," he whispered. "You haven't forgotten that, have you, Headmaster? Have you not forgotten that he once tried to kill me?"

"My memory is as good as ever, Severus," Dumbledore said calmly. "So, I think you can go upstairs with Minister Cornelius Fudge. I will be there soon. Until then, I think you should wait for me."

Snape turned and walked out of the door Fudge had left open for him. The door was closed after they walked out. Dumbledore turned to Harry, Fanlin and Hermione. Harry and Hermione both spoke urgently at the same time. (To be continued)
