The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Chapter 305 Chapter 344 The Crucible Broken by Death

After the Mastermind was built, Jaime remained permanently in the Tower.

He is equivalent to a programmer, who needs to stay beside the main brain for a long time, and constantly improve the functions of the "Manual". Sometimes he secretly wondered, if Linde arranged this job for him, would he want him to be the brain programmer for the rest of his life?

James will not blame Linde for this. For a benefactor who resurrected himself, as long as he does not force himself to do things that violate justice, it is worth giving up his freedom. James didn't know how many years this kind of life lasted, and he would regret it and get bored, but at least when he was in his twenties, he felt that this was a kind of loyalty.

Besides, James now has a more urgent and serious task, which is to cooperate with Snape and Dumbledore to perfect the resurrection ceremony.

The three men are all fighting for the resurrection of the woman. They got together and agreed to help each other achieve their goals.

Dumbledore's progress is the fastest and most stable. The great wizard is gradually mastering the ritual of evocation.

It was very difficult for Snape to refine the resurrection potion, but it was the least of his worries because he had the perfect formula in his hand. Although potion is a sophisticated and complicated art, it is nothing more than a process of collecting raw materials and refining them step by step according to the procedures. Even if the techniques are complicated and the steps are cumbersome, as long as you concentrate on making it, it will eventually bear fruit.

James boasted that he could handle the magic cauldron.

He originally planned to go to the old house in Godric's Hollow immediately, but after a few days of delay, he saw the news that Peter Pettigrew had been arrested in the newspaper.

His mind drifted away immediately, and he couldn't wait to get in touch with his old acquaintance.

But when he thought of the agreement with Linde, James had another difficulty.

Later in January, the Wizengamot Court will adjudicate Peter Pettigrew's guilt and retry Sirius' case.

James hoped that Dumbledore would take him to the Wizengamot, and just leave a gallery.

He made this request, but Dumbledore, as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, could not agree, because James was not a member of the Wizengamot court, and this ancient court did not have a jury system.

The tradition of the Wizengamot was born out of the sage meeting before the seventh century AD. At that time, the relationship between Muggles and wizards was still close. The king summoned those wizards, priests, and secular nobles who were named sages to discuss national affairs. Common people have no right to participate.

"However, you can wait for news from me at the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore reassured.

James then followed the headmaster to London.

He met Lupine and Sirius when he was in the Ministry of Magic. More than ten years seemed to be stolen by elves. The changes of these two old friends made him almost forget their former appearance.

Padfoot was so skinny that no one could bear the torture of Azkaban. The eyes of the moon face lost the keen brilliance of his youth, and he was beaten by life into a prematurely aging man.

James didn't go up to recognize each other, he couldn't, but he didn't dare.

The Wizengamot was in court at ten o'clock in the morning.

During the period, James was looking for someone in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic to inquire about the story that happened that year. A kind official named Arthur Weasley happened to be idle and was waiting for first-hand news from the Wizengamot, so the two chatted .

"I also heard it from hearsay. Sirius was originally the secret keeper of the Loyalty Curse, but he was worried that his goal was too obvious, so he changed it to Peter Pettigrew. But this guy has long been a traitor, and we all know what happened afterwards. "

"Please focus on what happened later."

Arthur gave James a surprised look.

"Harry Potter resisted the spell of the mysterious man. He became the first wizard to survive under the death curse. As a result, the mysterious man disappeared since then. Sirius did not defend himself during the trial, So he was imprisoned in Azkaban. In fact, a good man like him really shouldn't be so discouraged, after all, some Death Eaters are still blatantly active."

"Why? Didn't the Wizengamot care?"

"They said that they were controlled by the mysterious man with the Imperius Curse. This damn reason, hmph, everyone knows it's a lie."

James' heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Do you think Professor Snape of Hogwarts is lying too?"

"Snape, my son doesn't like him, like most of the non-Slytherin students. And yet Harry always speaks well of him, our savior is kind of weird, isn't it?"

James was thoughtful, and continued to chat with Arthur. This Weasley was proficient in fishing skills and was not caught by his colleagues in other departments. The two chatted more and more speculatively, and even made a friend.

The result of the trial came out in the afternoon. Peter Pettigrew was sentenced to death, and Sirius was acquitted. With Dumbledore's arguments, he escaped from Azkaban, and he was not to blame.

Instead of following Dumbledore back to school, James wrote a greeting card to Sirius. He revised it many times, but he didn't know what to write. Thirteen years is too long, as long as an era. After thinking about it, he begged the owner of the postcard shop for advice.

"Who are you going to write a blessing to?"

"A friend out of prison."

The owner's expression changed when he saw him.

"Uh, then write, 'Respect for Freedom'?"

"Okay!" James was overjoyed, and he wrote a card—to Padfoot, and to freedom.

The signature is JP, which is the abbreviation of James Potter, which can probably scare Sirius.

James sent the card and rushed to Godric's Hollow non-stop. He rode on a broomstick, thinking about the golden age of the foursome, but then he thought it was unnecessary, because Peter Pettigrew was going to die.

The little follower back then, the traitor later. James felt that time was a terrible magic, like Transfiguration, which could turn good people into bad people and the living into dead. At this time, the image of De Lin appeared in his mind. Perhaps to him, the power of time is not mysterious.

Porter House.

James stared blankly at the cracked cauldron.

Skinny palm prints hit the outside of the crucible, and a deep crack extended from the edge to the bottom. As a container, the crucible in front of it was already unqualified, and as a magic item, after being so damaged, it was almost impossible to maintain its effectiveness.

James panicked.

His heart fell into the ice and snow, and there was no echo from Lily in all directions.

Who destroyed this cauldron?

James didn't know, he just felt the flame of hope go out.

When he returned to Hogwarts with the cauldron and came to the second floor of the White Tower, Snape and Dumbledore came to examine it.

The old bat's expression was terribly dark.

He said sarcastically: "Look, Dumbledore and I put our trust in you, but what we got in return was a broken cauldron. It's my fault that I didn't see your low ability and eloquence earlier. A piece of junk was picked up from the garbage dump in the back alley."

Dumbledore stepped forward to stroke the cauldron, he frowned and looked at it carefully, and then suddenly stretched it out.

"Severus, you have misunderstood Jim. The cauldron he brought really works, at least, it used to work."

"But it's broken!"

"I can fix it," James said. He paused. "Need help."

"Who is it?" Snape held back his anger.

"...Sirius Black, and, Remus Lupine." (End of chapter)
