Chapter 565: Justice Delayed
I have to say that even during the holidays, the prestige of the professor is quite effective.
The little wizards, who were still lying in the dormitory resting, playing, and reading, followed the sound and glanced at the door, and quickly packed up their things, obediently left the Gryffindor boys' dormitory, and stood outside the door with curious faces and looked inside.
"Thanks, Weasley. ”
Grindelwald glanced at Percy, who was about to leave, thought for a moment and added.
"Well, Percy Weasley, you should stay too—you have a right to know about it, too. ”
Glancing around the empty dormitory, the old wizard nodded in satisfaction, drew his wand and waved it casually, closing the door to the dormitory behind them, a complex pattern of magic flashing across the door.
The old man beckoned to Harry and Ron, who were still in place, and said gently.
"What are you doing, the kids come here, just stand behind me-"
Harry and Ron looked at each other and ran over.
A moment later, the two stood with Percy and watched Professor Apocalis wave his wand and perform one unknown magic after another in the dormitory, and many of the magical objects hidden by the boys under the bed were detected and flew to the corner of the room.
It looked like it was a raid, which made Harry suddenly nervous.
After all, he wasn't quite sure if the invisibility cloak he received at Christmas was a prohibited item.
The three boys were a little apprehensive in the face of the professor who suddenly appeared in the dormitory, and even Percy Weasley, who had been temporarily recruited, had nervousness written on his face, and the three gathered behind Grindelwald and talked quietly.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, you didn't carry any dark magic items, did you?"
"No, I'm not George and Fred...... Oh my God!
With Ron's exclamation, the three of them subconsciously raised their heads and looked ahead.
At some point, a large number of well-dressed adult wizards suddenly appeared in the empty Gryffindor boys' dormitory.
Every adult wizard had a solemn look on his face, and since his father worked at the Ministry of Magic, Ron and Percy were familiar with the dress of adult wizards, which was unique to the Ministry of Magic Aurors.
At the same time, a steady stream of wizards emerged from a pink pouch in Professor Apocalis' hand.
"So, let's get started...... He can't be allowed to escape, let alone kill himself. ”
Grindelwald looked around at the wizards around him, nodded, and commanded softly in an indifferent tone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Apokalis. ”
The young wizard with blond hair at the head of the crowd grinned, revealing a mouthful of dazzling white teeth, and unlike the other wizards, the young wizard wore a forget-me-not flower-colored wizard robe.
"Oh my God, that's Lockhart, my mom loves his books the most...... Although Dad used to say that he was a liar - I didn't expect him to be a secret Auror of the Ministry of Magic, it was ...... It's cool!"
Seeing the wizard's face clearly, Ron tugged at Harry's sleeve in surprise and whispered in a low voice.
Ignoring the whispers of the little wizards, the wizards held their wands high, and rays of light poured out from the top of the wands, converging together in mid-air, forming a semi-arc-shaped light shield, the light mask flowed like a waterfall, firmly enveloping the entire Gryffindor boys' dormitory, and then with the steps of the wizards, the magic light mask gradually shrank......
Eventually, the dazzling light mask slowly shrank and enveloped Ron's bed.
To be precise, it covers a small thing that is desperately rushing left and right, but there is nothing it can do.
Glancing at the adult wizards around them as if they were facing a great enemy, Percy, Ron, and Harry's eyes fell on the little thing that was scurrying around, and they all cried out in unison.
"Spotted, spotted?!"
"Spotted, whoa...... What a lovely name, isn't it, Uncle Meyer. ”
A funny expression appeared on Frank's face, and he squeezed his eyes at the middle-aged wizard next to him.
Kurt Mayer frowned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he tried to swallow the dirty words in his mouth, and said coldly.
"Shut up, Frank, or don't blame me for casting a spell on you!"
"It's amazing, it's so amazing, it could be written as a best-selling short story. ”
Gilderoy Lockhart shook his head, his wand firmly pointed at the gray mouse, which was now lying motionless under the light mask, his eyes flashing with excitement, and his mouth muttering quietly.
Ignoring the whispering wizards, Grindelwald turned to look at Ron Weasley, who was a little frightened.
"This mouse...... Well, spotted. Weasley, I remember it was your pet, right?"
"It, it, Spotted is my ......," Ron said, looking nervously at the wizards around him.
"Yes, it's actually my pet, but after I became a prefect this year, my parents bought me an owl as a reward, so I temporarily left it to Ron to help take care of it, just ask me if anything. ”
Before Ron could finish speaking, a figure stood in front of him, and Percy's calm voice came from front of him.
"Professor Apocarsley, may I ask this rat of mine, what's wrong with it?"
"Mouse? no, this is not a rat......"
Grindelwald crouched down, stared intently at Spotted for a moment, and grinned.
"What are you talking about—it's a rat, of course—we've been raising it for years—"
"Amazing, remarkable," Grindelwald repeated softly with a smile on his face that grew wider, "He's an Animagus, a wizard. As Hogwarts students you all know what this means, for example, Professor McGonagall is a brilliant Animagus who can turn into a cat. ”
"And this one, his name should be ...... Peter Pettigrew. ”
Grindelwald raised his wand and nonchalantly tapped at the poor mouse in front of him.
With a blue light, as if a fast-moving shot of a tree growing, a head came out, and the limbs also came out. Moments later, a man lay where Spotted had been lying, cowering, his eyes full of fear.
It was a very short man, and if he stood up, he probably didn't have enough of Percy's chin.
The man's dull sparse hair was messy, his body was round, his skin was dirty, almost like spotted fur, and his pointed nose and watery mung bean eyes had the characteristics of a mouse.
Grindelwald looked playfully at the wizard in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a grim arc.
Peter Pettigrew...... You treacherous scumbag, Voldemort's most hidden lackey, a financial crook who steals Gringotts' riches and fools the wizarding public...... Unexpectedly, the peace between Hogwarts and the wizarding world was almost destroyed by your conspiracy, but fortunately, you left a trail when you transferred huge assets and committed several public crimes......"
"W-what......" Peter Pettigrew had a blank look on his face.
These...... What are they...... It can't be the wrong person, right?!
Before Peter Pettigrew could react, a cold voice with a slight disgust came from his ears.
"No more quibbles! Don't show your disgusting face begging for mercy!
Grindelwald waved his hand indifferently, and without any incantation, a spell suddenly sealed Peter Pettigrew's lips, causing all his voices to turn into a strange whining tone.
"I'm sorry, we wanted to arrest him in secret, but on the one hand, we were afraid that he would abscond, and on the other hand, because we would have to testify against you later, if necessary, so we had to reveal this fact in front of you. ”
Seeing Kurt Mayer and the others disappear into the pink women's purse with Peter Pettigrew, Grindelwald turned around, patted the three little wizards who were still in shock, and said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, the next thing will be handled by us, justice may be late, but it will definitely not be absent......"
The old wizard's eyes flickered, and his mind couldn't help but recall the last half of the more important words that a certain white-haired ball had added when he said this...... Unfortunately, "justice delayed" is not true justice.
But what does it matter? He and his lovely little Elena are two Dark Lords.
Therefore, it is enough for them to give the wizarding world the comedic justice that everyone wants to see.
There is no doubt that Peter Pettigrew, the "wise and foolish, deceitful and abominable Death Eater" who has come back from the dead, and Sirius Black, the "last member of the pure-blood family and the tragic magic hero" who has been wronged for many years, will definitely satisfy the bridge that all wizards want to see, and can also satisfy everyone's fantasy of condemning the government and bringing it into themselves.
