"So Malfoy was sent by you?" Diana was slightly taken aback, and then realized: "I wondered before, obviously I don't have such a deep friendship with their couple..."

"Probably." Jon spread his hands, without denying what the other party said.

At the same time, he said with a bit of complaint: "I really don't know why you chose to stay in Azkaban at that time, and why you said that during the interrogation just now... To be honest, the situation has become very serious now." It's very difficult, even I can't think of a good way to..."

"...Just a few minutes ago, you confessed all your crimes, leaving no room for excuses... In fact, the Minister was still very sympathetic to you, and was trying to do a little favor. If you obey her and continue, Admitting that you have been hit by the Imperius Curse or something, the situation will improve a lot... And now, with Scrimgeour's character, the best ending for you now is to be imprisoned for life in Azkaban, he is the director of the Department of Law Enforcement , He has a lot of power in this regard..."

Just after Jon finished his complaint, Diana opened her mouth, but shivered.

Obviously, she stayed in Azkaban for too long, and she didn't seem to have escaped the influence of the dementors.

Jon waved his wand lightly, and the silver-gray patron saint of the iron-eating beast appeared beside him, and the whole hut became warm in an instant—the iron-eating beast was an adult, more than one yard long, as fat as a bear, and plump. Rich, with a round head and short tail, it waved its scalpel-sharp claws at Diana, looking a little hostile.

"Your wand is now under the seal of the Law Enforcement Department. I'm afraid I can't help you get it back... If you don't mind, you can use this one first... Although it may not be easy." Jon said, A wand was drawn from one side.

This is the wand that Barty Crouch Jr. had used before his death. Since Dumbledore's elderberry wand was kept by Jon, he has hardly used this wand.

Diana glanced at Jon's Patronus with some curiosity, but she didn't reach out to take the wand.

She smiled. After she was no longer affected by the dementors, she was no longer so embarrassed, and seemed to have regained some of her former elegance and calmness:

"I can't leave Azkaban, that means I will become a fugitive through and through..."

"Lucius Malfoy is also a fugitive now, but he and his wife can be said to be living at ease in Sweden." Jon replied calmly.

"I have two daughters, they are still young, if I leave Azkaban, I will bring them a lot of trouble... I have been sorry for them since I was a child, because of me, they have been cursed since birth ...I can't do something like this again, I owe them too much..."

"But now, is it the right choice to let them worry about your safety all day long?" Jon couldn't help asking.

To be honest, he really didn't understand the choices made by the other party.

Diana just smiled gently, and did not continue to discuss this issue.

She moved on to Jon's next question:

"As for the words I said during the interrogation... I can only say... what I said was just the truth. I made a wrong choice that may make me regret for the rest of my life, and I need to bear the consequences..."

Diana was silent while talking.

Jon was also silent for a moment, and said, "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself so much... The choice at that time did not cause any bad consequences... Dirk Cresswell, Amos Diggory, Ka Sbert-Mortridge and the others were finally released by the Death Eaters, almost unscathed..."

Diana looked up, and she shook her head at Jon with a smile, and at the same time signaled with her eyes that he should stop talking.

There is a tacit understanding and understanding between the two people, and they did not discuss those "sensitive" issues between the two.

...

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet..." Diana changed the subject and said, "Of course, I don't know how to thank you..."

"...You saved Astoria's life and freed her from the abyss of curse. I can't express my gratitude to you in words..."

"...At the same time, I also want to congratulate you... In Azkaban, I heard about you. You became the youngest headmaster in the history of Hogwarts... I also understand now why Si-Dumbledore values ​​and trusts you so much..."

"...I also understand what kind of mistake I made and what kind of consequences I almost caused..."

She spoke intermittently, as if explaining her last words.

Jon frowned and interrupted her: "Ma'am, you have been released from Azkaban on bail, and you can be 'free' for a period of time..."

"...If you really love your two daughters, you should take advantage of this time to spend more time with them. They are going crazy for you... I will try to figure out other things."

"I will." Diana nodded with a serious expression on her face: "But you really don't have to worry about my affairs anymore...really, Jon...thank you!"

When she said Jon's name, her tone was odd.

Jon didn't respond to her words, but said calmly: "Then please allow me to take you home, ma'am."

"Okay thank you!"

...

The door of the small room was flung open, and a young wizard dressed as an Auror burst in.

"Diana Greengrass!" Auror's voice was indifferent: "You are now allowed to go home on bail until the Law Enforcement Division finally sentences you. During this period, you are forbidden to use any magic, and you are also forbidden to communicate with anyone except relatives, Contact with any wizard other than the bailee is prohibited, and it is forbidden to leave the 100 yards around Greengrass Manor!"

"Okay, I understand!" Diana nodded: "I will abide by the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Magic."

"The Ministry of Magic will monitor your whereabouts, don't take chances!" The young Auror snorted coldly, and at the same time shifted his gaze to Jon.

His stern expression gradually eased, and a smile from the heart appeared on his handsome face.

"Nice to meet you, Jon!" He warmly gave the headmaster of Hogwarts a hug: "Honestly, when I received that letter from Hannah, I was crazy happy!"

"Long time no see, Cedric!" Jon replied, he was a little out of breath from being strangled by the other party.

This young Auror turned out to be—

Cedric Diggory.
