Chapter 458: Peter is still a child, how can you do this to him!
Quiet! Seeing that the conversation was getting more and more biased, the presiding judge knocked on the table again and warned Ivan and Madame Peter not to say anything unrelated to the trial.
However, many committee members ignored him, and there were constant discussions in private, and no matter how the presiding judge knocked on the table, it would be useless...
There's nothing the presiding judge can do, after all, he can't let the Aurors kick out all the commissioners... Then the judgment could not continue.
"Madame Peter, do you have any questions? If not, I'll call on the next witness to come up and give a statement! The presiding judge had only an accented tone to overpower the cacophony of voices.
"Yes! Of course! Although Ivan felt that Ivan was very tricky, Mrs. Peter did not mean to admit defeat, but continued with a loud voice.
"We all knew it was Blake who betrayed Harry Potter's parents, not my child Pettigrew!"
"Lady Peter! I have to interrupt you, I've already explained this to you before, Sirius and Pettigrew secretly swapped the identities of the Secret Keeper! Dumbledore interrupted the other man's words and said in a deep voice.
"Who can prove it!" Mrs. Peter asked relentlessly.
"Only Harry Potter's fathers, James Potter, Black, and my child, Pettigrew, know about swapping secrets! The problem is that Mr. Potter is dead, and my child has amnesia, so it's not fair that I'm left to say whatever you want now! ”
"It's not a question of justice, Lady Peter! The law is all about evidence! Isn't it enough that we found the Mark of the Dark Devil on Pettigrew and not on Sirius? Dumbledore replied unhurriedly.
As Dumbledore spoke, an Auror stepped forward and pulled open Peter Pettigrew's sleeve, revealing the Dark Mark and displaying it in front of everyone.
Most of the committee members in the seats had read the relevant reports, so they knew about the Black Devil Mark in advance, but now they still felt a little nervous when they saw it with their own eyes.
Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that this trial should be almost over, because this Dark Devil Mark was the biggest evidence, enough to convict Pettigrew of guilt!
However, what he didn't expect was that Mrs. Peter did not mean to give up, even in the face of such evidence, Mrs. Peter did not change her face, but scolded loudly.
"Enough! How can a real undercover agent have the mark of the Dark Devil engraved on his body!
And my child has amnesia, he doesn't know anything ... Who knows what this Dark Devil Mark is all about! Maybe someone forged a dark mark and cleansed his memory! ”
"I heard it wasn't the Aurors who caught my son first, but you, didn't you?" Madame Peter stared at them with hatred, and that was obvious.
"Please stop being vexatious, Madame Peter!" Dumbledore said helplessly, and after a pause, he continued.
"After an investigation by the Ministry of Magic, the person who cleaned Peter Pettigrew's memories is some fugitive Death Eater, and if I were to do anything to him, I could have done it before handing Peter over to the Ministry of Magic!"
"There's another thing you're wrong about, no one can forge the Dark Devil Mark! Because it's Voldemort's unique magic, it's full of his magic, and it's easy to recognize! And I don't think anyone would dare to do that, after all... He's still there! ”
Dumbledore's understatement silenced the audience.
The wizards present passed over the presiding judge on the stage, and when they heard the news that Dumbledore said that the Falling Demons still exist in the wizarding world, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
It has always been rumored in the wizarding world that the mysterious man did not actually die that night, but only lost his power, and many people speculate that the mysterious man was hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to plan, and one day he will return again!
But the Ministry of Magic has been denying this rumor for years, insisting that the mysterious man has been completely defeated, and all the Death Eater minions have been imprisoned in Azkaban, and he will never return!
"Lord Dumbledore, please don't make such jokes in court!" The presiding judge's face was a little ugly, he barely pulled out a smile, and said dryly.
"We all know it's not a joke, I'm just stating some facts!" Dumbledore replied faintly.
Ivan silently stared at the frightened expressions on everyone's faces, and suddenly felt a little funny.
These people were so afraid of Voldemort who had lost his power, but they dared to rebuke Dumbledore's words loudly...
However, it is also true that normal people dare to argue in the face of the policemen with guns, but if they encounter rioters with guns, they will only flee in fear.
It's nothing more than that the former talks about the rules and won't do it easily, while the latter has no scruples and kills people when they see them!
Equally unscrupulous is Lady Peter, who is very old, and there is only such a child as Peter, who is now lost and regained, and will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope!
Even Voldemort's resurrection on the spot would not be able to reverse her will.
Therefore, she loudly threatens that Pettigrew is likely to be controlled by the Dark Lord's Imperius Curse and forced to become a Death Eater, or just to pretend to join the Death Eater in order to obtain information, but in fact he is an undercover agent.
"I know him better, he's so cowardly, so kind, there's no way he's going to be a betrayer... He's forgotten everything now, and you're not willing to let him go... Please, he's just a child! Lady Peter said in a choked voice, hugging the little star in the chair.
No matter how much Madame Peter cried, Dumbledore was not moved in the slightest, and he retorted.
"Don't deflect the subject, Lady Peter! Even amnesia does not negate a person's mistakes.
If you think your child is innocent, then please show the evidence that Peter infiltrated the Death Eaters to get information, otherwise he is a complete Death Eater! ”
Dumbledore's words completely angered Madame Peter, and her expression suddenly became very terrifying, staring at Dumbledore viciously and speaking.
"I've asked some Aurors, and they've told me that I've had a professional wizard identify my children who have had many Oblivion Charms in a short period of time."
"Maybe my son knew something, and you forcibly tampered with his brain, handed him over to the Aurors, and then you didn't think it was safe enough, so you simply infiltrated the observatory and deleted his memories completely!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Peter turned her head sharply to look at the presiding judge on the stage, and said through gritted teeth.
"Your Excellency the Presiding Judge, I ask to test their wands! With a flashback spell! ”
(PS: Today's plot is more difficult to write, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the third chapter, let me rest for a day, and I'll do it again tomorrow...) )
