Snap!
At sunset and dusk, with the sound of a slight air blast, Dumbledore's figure appeared out of thin air in the centre of the square in Godric's Hollow.
He glanced slowly towards the surroundings.
Dumbledore was very familiar with everything here, he had lived here for many years, and it was a stretch of happy and at the same time tragically sad childhood memories.
After so many years, everything here seemed to remain unchanged, and he hadn't been back here for a long time.
The stone monument in the centre of the square sensed Dumbledore's magic and slowly transformed into a male wizard and a witch, with the witch holding a newborn baby in her arms.
Dumbledore looked at the statue before him with a complex expression, his eyes slightly lost in thought.
After receiving Andy's letter, Dumbledore's mind was somewhat numb. He simply did not dare to imagine, if what Andy wrote in the letter was true, then all these years ...
But Dumbledore quickly adjusted his mind.
The mistakes of the past could not be undone, and what they could and must do now was to make up for the mistakes that had been made.
Soundlessly, a silver-white translucent fat cat flew in front of Dumbledore, and it tilted its head to indicate that Dumbledore should follow it.
Dumbledore retracted his gaze, nodded slowly towards the fat cat patronus, and then took a step to follow the fat cat patronus.
Walking out of the village and through a forest, the Fat Cat Patronus led Dumbledore to the entrance of a cave. It looked back at Dumbledore and then walked into the cave first.
After entering the cave, Dumbledore immediately discovered that there were traces of artificial excavation and traces of magic.
After walking through a tunnel more than twenty metres long, what appeared in front of him was a stone room of more than eighty square metres. Several torches were inserted on the walls around the stone room, and the faint light from the torches illuminated the entire stone room.
There was also an entrance on the right side of the stone room, and the fat cat patronus floated at the entrance, tilting his head towards Dumbledore, signalling him to hurry up and follow.
"Professor Dumbledore, you're finally here." Andy dispersed the fat cat patronus and got up to greet Dumbledore.
"Mr Collins!"
Dumbledore nodded towards Andy, and then turned his head to look at Sirius in the prison, "Sirius ... I'm sorry that because of my negligence, you have suffered twelve years of injustice in Azkaban."
"That's not your fault, Dumbledore!"
Sirius immediately said, "That was a punishment I voluntarily accepted! If it wasn't for the fact that I was too stupid to trust that bloody rat."
"Ahem!"
Andy suddenly coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment, "That ... Excuse me! Professor Dumbledore, it's already late, I think, I have to go home."
Dumbledore and Sirius: "?"
We were about to talk about the secret of that year, why are you leaving?
Even though what happened back then has nothing to do with you, aren't you curious?
"I'm not like you guys, I'm still a kid."
Andy with a helpless face spread his hands and said, "That ... it is already dinner time now, if I still don't go home, my mother will lose her temper."
Dumbledore: "..."
This reason was simply unbeatable!
Sirius was also speechless.
To be honest, after talking with Andy for so long, Sirius could hardly treat Andy as a young wizard who hadn't graduated yet anymore.
Not to mention Andy's magic attainments, Andy's fanatical attitude towards magic and his desire to learn more about magic was something Sirius had never seen in his life.
Moreover, Andy was quick-witted and intelligent, and although he occasionally had a little temper, most of the time he was mature enough not to be like a young wizard.
Now that he had suddenly heard Andy say 'If I don't go home for dinner, I'll get yelled at by my mum', Sirius had a momentary feeling of fantasy being cut off from reality.
"Go home early, kiddo!"
Sirius exclaimed, "Remember to eat more, you won't grow taller if you don't eat dinner."
Andy: Remember what you said!
Dumbledore smiled and asked, "Mr Collins, so Sirius ..."
"He's all yours, Professor!" Andy said indifferently.
"Thanks!" Dumbledore said.
Walking out of the cave, Andy directly used the Apparition to go home.
Inside the cave, Dumbledore waved his wand, unlocked the chains that were holding Sirius, and then opened the iron door of the prison.
Sirius moved around a bit before slowly getting up and walking out of the prison and hugging Dumbledore, "It's been a long time, Professor!"
Sirius was a little excited!
"Almost twelve years."
Dumbledore spoke in a calm tone as he gently patted Sirius on the back, "Forgive me, for not going over to see you all this time."
Sirius calmed down a little, but his tone was still a little agitated, "It was that rat, Professor! He betrayed James, he's been hiding in the Weasley house all these years, he ..."
"I know! Sirius, Andy has explained the situation to me in his letter."
Dumbledore said in a gentle and relieved tone, "When their family returns from their trip, we'll be able to capture Peter and prove your innocence."
"... Yes!" Sirius was stunned for a moment before nodding slightly.
With Dumbledore's help, he could easily solve this matter.
It's just that for some reason, Sirius was suddenly a little frustrated.
If Andy was called upon to say it, this situation of Sirius was purely because his brain was contaminated by Gryffindors and Dementors.
If Sirius' brain was normal, he should have written a letter to Dumbledore to explain the situation to Dumbledore at the first moment he escaped from Azkaban.
The revenge that Sirius thought of was: After nine defeats, countless attempts and hardships, he approached Peter Pettigrew alone, and then, in the eyes of all the people who did not understand and were shocked, he killed that traitor with a single shot, proving his innocence.
Revenge with Andy's help: all it took was a letter to Dumbledore, and then it was time to go home, eat, and sit back and wait for the news.
"Right!"
Sirius suddenly thought of something and said in a rush, "And Snape! There was a riot in Azkaban last year and some Death Eaters came over to break into the prison."
"He opened my cell door and tried to let me out."
Sirius sounded a little disdainful as he said this, "But he didn't know that bloody prison couldn't trap me at all! The only reason I didn't leave was because I was going to atone for my sins there!"
"He was wearing a mask, but I recognised him nonetheless!"
"Severus Snape! Those were Snape's eyes, the snivelling one, and I would never mistake him."
"When he saw I wasn't getting out, he went and freed someone else. Ha! I heard that person died from a Dementor's Kiss, what a bummer."
