Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 189 Passionate Outburst, Raging Against Sirius!

"Oh! You recognized me? I thought you'd have to wait until I introduced myself to figure out what was going on."

"I'm a public figure in the magical world now, you don't just focus on my cousin when you read the newspaper, do you?"

Dudley said sarcastically, finding Sirius increasingly displeasing.

"I'm sorry, Dudley. I made a mistake. I didn't expect you to be so tall, like an adult. I shouldn't have attacked you."

Sirius Black showed a look of shame, his anger subsided, and his tone softened, "Untie the vines! We're on the same side!"

I'm Harry's godfather; you could technically call me uncle.

"Huh?!!" Dudley was stunned by Sirius's words and repeated incredulously, "You want me to call you uncle?"

"Isn't that right?" Sirius smiled a little embarrassedly.

"You dog-skin coat, Merlin's sir!"

Dudley was furious. With a thought, he tightened the vines that were binding Sirius Black.

"Ah—" Sirius cried out in pain, "Dudley, what are you doing? The misunderstanding has been cleared up!"

"Shut up! How dare you call me 'Dali'? I really want to crack open your dog brain and see how much water is inside!"

Dudley used the 'Hear-Blocking' spell to block out any potential eavesdropping nearby, and angrily rebuked them.

Not satisfied with just scolding him, she began to analyze Sirius's foolish behavior without any mercy:

“I clearly told Dumbledore to write you a letter and tell you to stay home and wait until Harry and I have time before we come to scold you.”

Why did you sneak into Hogwarts?

“I just really want to see Harry, don’t I? Of course, I want to see you too,” Sirius replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Shut up! You want to see me? How could you say such a lie!"

Dudley immediately exposed Sirius's lie and continued his analysis, "Let's leave aside the fact that you sneaked into the school to see Harry."

I'm asking you, you just smelled a little bit of Little Pettigrew's scent, and you're going to pounce on him like a vicious dog?

If I hadn't dodged, were you going to bite me to death?

"I was too angry; Sirius's actions overwhelmed my reason." Sirius lowered his head, filled with shame.

"Don't forget you have Galleons stuck to your face! It's also clouded your judgment. Do you even have any sense? Attacking someone without knowing the situation is just the tip of the iceberg of your stupidity!"

Attack the wizard in his beast form, which cannot cast magic;

After I injured its leg, instead of quickly using its remaining three good legs to hop away and shout to attract the attention of other wizards, it listened to me and transformed into human form.

I forgot I used Animagus and didn't bring my wand;

Despite being injured, he still dared to utter arrogant words and start a battle with a powerful wizard;

The Wizengamot Wizarding Court clearly told you that Dumbledore confirmed Pettigrew's death, yet you still lose your mind over a mere whiff of smell.

Each and every one of these incidents demonstrates your stupidity!

Dudley's incisive analysis left Sirius speechless and dumbfounded.

They even forgot the pain from the tight vines binding them.

However, Sirius remained silent, but Dudley had no intention of letting him off so easily.

Dudley continued, “You wasted ten years in Azkaban and didn’t improve at all.”

You're an Animagus who isn't registered with the Ministry of Magic and can turn into a dog, so why didn't you escape from prison earlier and secretly protect Harry as he grew up?

If you do that, I might even consider having Harry acknowledge you as his godfather.

But you're just a brainless, good-for-nothing idiot!

Seeing your behavior today, I can finally understand why you did such a stupid thing ten years ago!

Back then, Aunt Lily and Uncle James gave you the position of Secret Keeper of the Faithful Charm, and you accepted it, so you should stick to that path!

Why be so indecisive and come up with such a terrible idea?

To make things more secretive, the identity of the person in charge of keeping the secret was given to the little dwarf star, who had a low profile.

Don't you know that Little Petr is a cowardly coward who can't even withstand a single Cruciatus Curse?

Okay, you might say you've misjudged him, that you've overestimated Littlepenny's friendship and loyalty to the Raiders.

But why do you insist on pushing away the position of confidential person?

If you don't want to be the person in charge of keeping secrets, you shouldn't have agreed or accepted it in the first place!

Or tell Aunt Lily and Uncle James bluntly, "You're scared! You're afraid Voldemort will find you and torture you! Tell them to give Dumbledore the location of the Secret Service as originally planned!"

"No! I wasn't afraid! I really wasn't afraid! Dudley, I really wasn't afraid! I was willing to give my life for my friends!"

Sirius Black turned pale from Dudley's barrage of questions.

But when Dudley questioned his courage and loyalty to his friends, he couldn't help but loudly retort.

He is a brave Gryffindor, how could he be afraid of evil torment?

Ignoring Sirius's rebuttals, Keda let out a disdainful snort:

"Not afraid? Whether you're afraid or not isn't something you can just say! If you weren't afraid, why didn't you just stay and be my confidant in the first place?!"

So what if Voldemort knows you're the Secret Agent? So what if Voldemort captures you and tortures you? You just need to grit your teeth and not reveal the Potter family's address!

The reason why the Curse of Unwavering Loyalty is so powerful and unbreakable is because of its secret rules!

Whether it's the Imperius Curse, Legilimency, or Truth Potion, as long as you don't intentionally leak information, even if Voldemort uses these methods to extract information from your mind, he still won't be able to find where the Potters' house is!

Besides, with your magical skill and willpower, even if Voldemort uses these methods, he probably won't be able to extract any information in a short time, right?

By then, Dumbledore would inevitably have received the news and moved the Potters ahead of time.

You could even commit suicide before Voldemort catches you, and once you die, the identity of the Secret Agent will automatically transfer to Dumbledore.

According to the rules of the Secret Keeper of the Crimson Loyalty Mantra, once the Secret Keeper dies, the Secret Keeper's identity will automatically transfer to someone else who has learned the address of the protected building through normal channels.

If you hadn't kept quiet back then, after your death, only Dumbledore would have known the Potters' address, and the Keeper of the Secret would naturally have been transferred to him.

Aunt Lily, Uncle James, and Harry wouldn't have been caught in Voldemort's intrusion, faced danger, and ultimately met with tragedy!

The various assumptions I've made are harsh and direct, but every single one makes sense.

If you truly have unwavering determination, are willing to risk your life for the Potter family, and have not a shred of fear, then can't you put these hypotheticals into reality?

Dudley delivered a long and scathing speech, leaving Sirius speechless, his eyes glazed over, his face ashen.

Then, Dali sighed softly, his emotions, tone, and manner gradually calming down:

"Of course, you are just a friend of Aunt Lily and Uncle James, and you have no obligation to risk your life for them."

It's only natural to be afraid of pain and death.

It's perfectly understandable that you can't do what I've assumed.

But what you shouldn't have done, what you shouldn't have done, was to overestimate your own determination and wisdom without any self-awareness!

As I always say, it's not stupid people that are scary, it's stupid people with their own opinions that are scary!

Since you're going to transfer the secret agent to someone else, why not just transfer it to Dumbledore directly, as originally planned?

Little Pettigrew is nothing but a cowardly follower of you bunch of brutes and fools. In terms of credibility, wisdom, or strength, how can he compare to Dumbledore?

Why did you have to do something so stupid?!
