Chapter 431: Peter Pettigrew is debunked

Hearing Dumbledore directly say the man's name, the little wizards on the field suddenly panicked.

But the thought that the Dark Lord's most feared person was standing in the stands at this moment made them feel much more relieved, and turned to discuss who the shameful betrayer was.

"It's definitely Blake!" Percy immediately thought of Blake, who was on the run, and suddenly said loudly.

More and more people guessed this, and they all angrily attacked Blake, thinking that he was a shameful villain...

"Yes, there have been many people who have thought so in the past, including me!" Dumbledore paused at this point, his tone becoming high, and he continued.

"However, after my investigation, the betrayer was someone else, and the Ministry of Magic made a very bad decision to imprison Blake directly in Azkaban without trial!"

"For that reason, I need to apologize to Mr. Black, because this is also part of my mistake!" Dumbledore finally added.

When Dumbledore's words ended, there was a dead silence in the field, and all the young wizards were speechless in astonishment, and they even wondered if they had heard it wrong.

Sirius, wanted by the Ministry of Magic, is actually innocent?

How is this possible?

A few days ago, Blake infiltrated the castle with the intention of killing Harry...

Countless questions hung over their minds, and the students present were all discussing, even if these words came from Dumbledore's mouth, there were not a few people who questioned them.

After all, the Ministry of Magic has been brainwashing them for months, and this stereotype will be difficult to change for a while.

"Silence!"

Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, Dumbledore cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention once more.

"I know this news is too shocking, and you may have a lot of doubts, but it's a little inappropriate for me to explain, so I think it's better to let the person concerned come up and explain!"

As he spoke, Dumbledore clapped his hands, and the closed door of the Great Hall was suddenly opened!

Sirius Shi Shiran, who was dressed in a black robe, walked in from outside the door, and walked to the front of the stage step by step from the aisle in front of the long table of the four major academies, holding a frantically struggling mouse in his right hand.

Harry was nervous and followed him.

Although Sirius at this time was no longer the same as the embarrassed appearance on the bulletin, combined with Dumbledore's previous words, there were still many clever little wizards who guessed it at once.

"He's the fugitive Blake!" Seamus, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but scream.

Sirius, who was walking forward, couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and Seamus shuddered for a moment, but Seamus soon noticed that Sirius just smiled at him mildly and didn't say anything...

Seamus was a little relieved.

The rest of the students were equally terrified of Sirius's sudden appearance.

Fortunately, many well-intentioned people also noticed Harry's presence, and a series of voices soon sounded below.

"That Blake is actually with Harry, it seems that what Professor Dumbledore said should be true..."

"Is the Ministry really mistaken? They actually imprisoned an innocent person in Azkaban for more than ten years? And now he is still wanted? ”

.......

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Sirius and Harry had already stepped into the stands, and Dumbledore leaned to the side, giving up the center spot.

Harry took a few nervous steps forward and plucked up the courage to speak in front of everyone.

"What Professor Dumbledore just said is true! Like you, I thought Blake was a murderer in the truest sense of the word, and hated him for revealing my parents' whereabouts to Voldemort..."

The more Harry spoke, the smoother he became, and his words were very contagious, and he was recognized by many people.

"So... Sirius is not only not a murderer, but also a hero who once resisted Voldemort and the Death Eaters! The real betrayer is Peter Pettigrew, another friend of my father's.

In order to confuse Voldemort, Sirius was willing to act as a bait on the surface to attract the attention of the Death Eaters, and in private, he agreed with Peter to replace the identity of the secret keeper! ”

Harry told him everything he knew in one fell swoop.

"But Peter Pettigrew is dead!" A Hufflepuff wizard in front of him suddenly stood up, retorted, and continued.

"My mom once told me that he was very incompetent but brave when it mattered, and after that incident, he went after Blake alone and was killed by Blake!"

"No, it's not like that... Child! ”

Sirius, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and he looked at the little Hufflepuff wizard and thought that the other party was probably the heir of an old friend who could understand this past in this way.

It wasn't the time to think about it, though, so Sirius replied quickly. "Peter Pettigrew didn't die, he hid silently, and now I've caught him, and here he is!"

Sirius tossed the mouse in his hand, and with a wave of his wand, a blinding light struck Spotted.

The rat screamed wildly, and then quickly transformed into a stocky, bald, middle-aged wizard in front of everyone.

The little wizards sitting nearby squeezed into the back in fear...

Dumbledore waved his wand and tied Peter up, pointing at him.

"As you can see, Peter Pettigrew is an undocumented Animagus who has deceived the Ministry of Magic and all of us by transforming into a rat! and hid in a wizard's family for more than a decade, eventually becoming Mr. Weasley's pet..."

When some of the little wizards in the know heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Ron, many Gryffindor little wizards had seen Ron fiddling with his big rat on different occasions, and even didn't forget to take it with him when he took a bath.

Ron stood up with a look of disgust and nodded, confirming this.

Percy Weasley, on the other side, changed his face and Spotted followed him as a pet for a while, but luckily he had left the pesky mouse to Ron a few years ago...

"Oh my God, this is disgusting!" George looked at Peter, who was dirty, short and fat, and felt a chill in his heart when he thought that Peter had been at home for so long without being discovered.

"Yes! Mom would be scared to death if she knew the news! ”

Fred was even more scared, considering that they had played tricks on Peter and used it for all kinds of interesting experiments, and it was not easy for him to survive until now...
