I’ll choose Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Instead of Sirius Black being innocent, he actually did betray the Potters, but for a good reason: to save Harry from Voldemort in the long game.

When Harry first heard the name Sirius Black, it was with all the venom of betrayal. The man who sold his parents to Voldemort. The man who escaped Azkaban for him.

They said Sirius wanted to finish the job.

Harry believed it. Who wouldn’t? The Daily Prophet told the whole country.

But the truth...the real truth.... was much worse.

He learned it on a freezing night in the Shrieking Shack, when the werewolf’s howls shook the boards and blood dripped from Harry’s cut lip.

Sirius had cornered him, wand shaking, eyes wild and guilty.

“Harry,” he rasped. “I did it.”
Harry’s throat closed. The words slammed into him. “You—you did betray them.”
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tVZip79e7
Sirius’s voice cracked. “Yes. I told Voldemort where they were. But listen...LISTEN....he would have killed you right then. He would have killed you as a baby. I made a bargain.”

Harry couldn’t move.

“I told him I’d give him your parents. If he’d spare you. I sold them to save you. And he agreed. But he lied. He always lies.”
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpMpZh7up
Harry’s head spun.

“That’s why he cast the Killing Curse on you,” Sirius whispered. “I failed them. I failed you. But it broke his power, Harry. Don’t you see? He marked you as his equal. I knew he would. That was the only way to give you a chance.”

Harry fell to his knees. The betrayal burned, but it was twisted with something worse: understanding.

“So you planned for me to survive,” Harry said hoarsely. “But you murdered them.”

Sirius dropped his wand and fell to the floor. His face crumpled, ancient in his grief.

“Yes,” he choked out. “I did. I killed my best friends. I killed your parents to give you this war.”
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTzAyxWVjv
Harry wanted to scream. But the scream wouldn’t come. Instead he sat there in the dirt and blood, his wand limp in his hand.

Outside, the werewolf howled.

Later, in the chill dawn, Harry didn’t tell Dumbledore what Sirius confessed.

When asked, he only said:
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQPxNehyGa
“He didn’t betray them.”
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8h9oPXi0s
Because the truth was worse than betrayal. It was sacrifice. It was blood traded for blood, hope bought with death.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC9jbUSbRB
And Harry hated him for it.

But he understood.
