Chapter 126 First Meeting
Among the two candy balls, Sirius rolled his eyes and vomited until he was black. Pettigrew...sorry, the whole mouse was already soaked in vomit.
"Eh~"
The moment Adam saw it clearly, he threw the candy ball out with a look of disgust and looked at the palm of his hand.
Fortunately, the ventilation holes were opened small enough, and the vomit was too thick to flow out at all.
A sleeping card was thrown over, and a bubble card was used to wash and dry the person and the mouse. Adam used the elimination card to erase their memory, and then restarted their first meeting.
After Sirius woke up leisurely, he immediately realized that something was wrong with his state.
He is actually in human form now!
Was he exposed? !
He just clearly... uh? What was he clearly...doing just now?
Sirius frowned and racked his brains but couldn't remember it. Instead, he felt waves of nausea and vomiting.
Could it be that he has forgotten all about it?
"Yo? You're awake."
Sirius turned his head alertly and found a boy wearing a Hogwarts uniform sitting in front of him with a smile:
"The operation was successful. Congratulations on turning into a girl."
Sirius subconsciously crossed his legs, and then realized something was wrong:
"...Do you know who I am?"
Although I don’t know what happened, I am now a wanted criminal. Looking at the mark on my chest, I can see that the child opposite belongs to Hufflepuff. Maybe I can use this...
Seeing the mouse in the plastic box in Adam's hand, Sirius's mind suddenly slid uncontrollably into boundless anger. Everything he had been thinking about just now was burned by anger, and there was only one thought left in his mind - —Kill that traitor!
He didn't have a wand at hand, but he still had the fangs and teeth of his Animagus form!
With a move of his finger, Sirius, who was captured by the floating tag, desperately performed various postures of vicious dog hunting in the air.
Fifteen minutes later, Sirius's limbs hung down feebly, his tongue drooped from his mouth, and he breathed heavily like a bellows, but his eyes were still staring at Pettigrew fiercely.
After a few more minutes, Sirius looked at Adam as if he had woken up from a dream.
"Calm down?"
Adam snapped his fingers, and Sirius fell from the sky and returned to his human form.
"...What do you know?"
Sirius was not stupid. After calming down, he could find many clues if he thought about it carefully. These clues all showed that Adam was special - he seemed to know a lot of things.
"I didn't know much at first, but now I probably know everything."
Adam picked up the crystal cup next to him and took a sip. The amber liquid was clear and the crystal cup was elegant. Just when Sirius was habitually trying to determine what kind of wine it was, he saw clearly the rising bubbles in the liquid... …
I was so stunned by the other party's silent and wandless levitating spell and words that I almost forgot that the child in front of me was still a student at Hogwarts.
Thinking of this and recalling how he was unable to resist under the control of the levitating spell just now, Sirius's expression was a little subtle.
Are all the young wizards at Hogwarts of such high quality now?
However, remembering that Adam was just a student, Sirius also breathed a sigh of relief. The other party did not hand him over to the dementors, which meant that he knew at least part of the truth, and at least knew that he was wrongly accused.
"Who are you? Did you bring me here?"
"Introduce yourself, my name is Adam Reed."
Adam?
Sirius couldn't help but lick the corners of his mouth when he heard the name.
He hadn't had a good meal since he escaped from prison. During this time in the castle, he was deeply impressed by this name. However, before Sirius could reflect on the biscuits he secretly ate that day, he heard Adam say:
"As for the person who caught you here...yes, it's me."
"Why?"
Adam glanced at him in surprise, with a "listen to what you're talking about" expression on his face, then picked up the newspaper on the table at hand and pointed to the front page.
To be precise, it was pointing to the gold galleons bounty below Sirius' wanted poster on the front page.
Sirius: "..."
Should we be happy? The person who discovered him was a kind-hearted Hufflepuff. After learning about his experience, he resolutely gave up the high bounty and did not turn him in.
Speaking of which...
"How did you catch me?"
Sirius couldn't help but recall, but no matter how he recalled it, it was all blank...
"vomit--"
Well, it's not completely blank, at least there is still a burst of vomiting.
"Actually, that was a coincidence."
Adam looked like he was lost in memories:
"I finished class that day and saw you mixing No. 47 concrete. You must know that the key to the Fourier transform lies in the lavender fragrance in the base note. The result is red carp, green carp and donkey."
"Oh...that's such a coincidence."
Sirius was in a daze for a moment, and then showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look back on.
Well, as expected, the effect would be much better with the addition of a substitute card, and with the addition of the confusion spell, it would even save him the effort of making up reasons.
It's a pity that you have to first establish the other person's goodwill toward you at the beginning, and then use the love card to amplify the loopholes in the other person's mind, so as to confuse the other person's understanding more peacefully.
And it’s hard to say whether the “first meeting” repeated so many times before had some impact on the other person’s mind, which is why this time went so smoothly...
With a few casual words, Sirius cast the Animagus. Adam flicked his fingers and made Sirius fall into a coma for who knows how many times, and erased the memory of "first meeting" for who knows how many times.
Adam's feelings towards Sirius are complicated. On the one hand, because of the relationship with Professor Snape and the fact that he would be affected by him this school year, he didn't have a good impression of Sirius.
But for this guy who allowed himself to be imprisoned in Azkaban for so many years out of self-blame, and resolutely escaped from prison after seeing his godson in danger, and swam back to land from Azkaban in the form of a black dog, and slept in the open air to save his godson... Although he felt that the other party didn't seem to be very smart, Adam really couldn't hate him.
Using the other party to test the results of his own research on magic was Adam's small revenge for being affected by the Dementors this time and being disturbed during the last barbecue.
There was no way. He didn't usually meet any test subjects who were intelligent enough to give feedback and could be used without any psychological pressure. He could not feel guilty about playing with Pettigrew, but Pettigrew was too ugly...
Every time he thought of this, Adam couldn't help but sigh that he had no foresight at the time. He would have used a double card to copy a Lockhart.
After floating Sirius and Pettigrew, Adam randomly threw them in two abandoned classrooms. He didn't know whether they would meet each other again after waking up.
As for how to properly solve the problems of "the Ministry of Magic mistakenly imprisoned an innocent person in Azkaban for more than ten years" and "the hero promoted by the Ministry of Magic is actually a despicable traitor", it was even less of his business.
Let Professor Dumbledore and Sirius' godson worry about it.
