As the opinion of the Inquisition Court reached an agreement, the Aurors in charge of checking the spell also quickly completed the inspection, returned to Dumbledore, Fudge and others, and presented the results to all the wizards and members of the Wizengamot jury on the scene.

"No Imperius Curse, no Heart Drilling, no Ecstasy, no Truth Elixir, no ......"

Cornelius Fudge nodded in satisfaction, feeling a little better.

At the same time, Amelia Bones, who was next to him, softened her face a little.

Obviously, Hogwarts and Dumbledore had given the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot Court enough respect to not hold any private trials before the public trial began - more importantly, this meant that Dumbledore did not go beyond his bounds to torture Peter Pettigrew about the whereabouts of the funds he had stolen in advance, eliminating the risk of theft by the guards.

This, as with the previous judgment of the Ministry of Magic, does not conflict with the demands of Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic.

The two Ministry of Magic officials exchanged glances, Amelia Bones nodded, took out a small bottle of clarifying potion from her bosom, stood up and handed it to Snape, who was in charge of guarding Peter Pettigrew, and solemnly admonished.

"Three drops, Professor Snape, only three drops are enough......"

"Don't worry, Director Bones, as the Potions professor at Hogwarts, I know how to use Truth Elixir......"

Severus Snape opened the flask, flapped his nose slightly, and with a look of disdain on his face, he paused for a moment before whispering in his usual slow, slightly sarcastic tone.

"By the way, the elixir you have in your hand has been brewed with so many stunner feathers that the potion is unstable, but any wizard who knows a thing or two about potions will be able to successfully resist before the potions can take effect—maybe that stupid apothecary thinks it's like brewing coffee, which will increase the potion potion?"

"Yes, I will convey this to Ms. Lévina Rozier. ”

Amelia Bones raised her eyebrows, raised her chin slightly, and replied unhurriedly.

"So Professor Snape, is it possible that this potion will not have the desired effect in your judgment? Unfortunately, if this is the case, then our trial may have to be postponed a little - until it is tested, the potions in Hogwarts cannot be used as magic items in the official court. ”

"No, Miss Rozier's truth elixir is barely qualified...... Just needed some ......."

Snape shook his head, drew his wand, and without warning pointed at Peter Pettigrew in the background.

"Faint!"

A dazzling red light shot out of Snape's wand and landed straight on Peter Pettigrew, the powerful impact of the spell hitting Peter Pettigrew with a dull thud.

“...... Special ways to take it. And coma, undoubtedly, is the most ideal. ”

Severus Snape put away his wand as if he had just casually chased away the mosquitoes around him, and walked towards Peter Pettigrew with a blank face under the shocked eyes of the Aurors and wizards.

Snape walked up to Peter Pettigrew who was unconscious, reached out to support his chin with some rough reach, broke Peter's mouth, and after dropping three drops of truth potion into it, he drew his wand and pressed it against Peter Pettigrew's chest, and took a deep breath.

"Hurry up and recover!

Peter Pettigrew twitched as if he had just woken up from suffocation, and opened his eyes with difficulty, staring blankly and slackly ahead, without the hesitation and nervousness he had before.

Snape bent down, glanced at Peter Pettigrew's eyelids, and turned to look at Dumbledore and the others.

"You can start asking questions, folks, the potion has already worked—about an hour. ”

"Thank you, Severus, and leave it to us. ”

Dumbledore nodded calmly, his gaze shooting out of the lenses on the bridge of his twisted nose and landing on Peter Pettigrew's face.

"First, tell the court your name. Who are you?"

Peter Pettigrew. Peter Pettigrew's eyelids twitched, and he returned.

"So, Peter Pettigrew," Dumbledore said, taking a piece of parchment from his bosom, glancing at it quickly, and continuing in a gentle tone, "what was your identity during the First Wizarding War, and where have you been all these years?"

Peter Pettigrew shuddered, took a deep breath, and began to speak in an emotionless wooden tone, his voice spreading throughout the Quidditch pitch under the spell.

"I'm a Death Eater. During the First Wizarding War, I was secretly in the Order of the Phoenix, delivering information to the Dark Lord and contributing the Dark Lord to the wizarding world. Ever since the Dark Lord disappeared, I have been hiding in Weasley's house as a rat-spotted person by faking my death, waiting for the Dark Lord to return. ”

With Peter Pettigrew's voice, the entire Quidditch field was in an uproar.

And the sketchpens of the reporters gathered around the main judgment table were even about to fly, a hero who was awarded the "Merlin First Class Medal" to resist the dark forces, and his real identity was actually a Death Eater, which was really amazing.

Bang!

In the outer stands, in the seating area of the Hogwarts professors and the officials of the Ministry of Magic, Professor McGonagall angrily hammered the railing, her lips trembling with anger, and she looked at the short wizard in the field, her eyes flashing with a terrible fire.

"It was you, Peter, so many innocent people who died were betrayed by you!"

"Spy?!Didn't Professor Dumbledore find out in the first place?"

Amos Diggory, who was sitting next to Professor McGonagall, asked with some surprise.

"No, Dumbledore has been investigating and searching. "Actually, Professor Dumbledore had long suspected that one of us had defected, and had provided a lot of information to the mystery man - but Peter Pettigrew was so inconspicuous that no one even suspected him......"

"At my house...... Scold...... Hiding in my house for ten years!"

If Professor McGonagall's face was gloomy, the Weasleys' expressions could be described as extremely distorted.

With Peter Pettigrew's answer, and Ron and Percy's story, the Weasleys had to come to terms with the terrible fact that the vicious Death Eater had lived in their home for ten years.

The most important thing is that in the past ten years, the family has been raising the disgusting rat with good food and drink.

Arthur Weasley didn't even dare to look back at the other wizards around him, his only thought at the moment was to pull out his wand and rush down the stands, and recite the Avada Susso Curse to Peter Pettigrew to prove his family's innocence.

And the trial interrogation in the center of the venue is still going on unhurriedly.

"So, why are you hiding in the Weasleys?" Dumbledore continued.

"Because the Weasleys are your most trusted magical family, and there is no one in the wizarding world who cares about such a poor but obedient fool, and I can keep in touch with the wizarding world at all times, and I can give the Dark Lord a great gift after learning about the Dark Lord, the lives of the Weasleys, and no Death Eater can do that. Besides, there are so many Weasley kids who can let me hide in the safety of Hogwarts......"

"That's enough! That's not what I need you to answer, I'll change the question, why hide?"

Dumbledore interrupted Peter Pettigrew with a wave of his hand, frowning, and his tone began to grow stern.

Suddenly interrupted, Peter Pettigrew seemed to be a little sluggish, but he quickly took a deep breath and continued to answer Dumbledore's question in that wooden tone.

"Because the Dark Lord followed my information and went to Potter's house...... I had planned to leave the Order of the Phoenix and publicly declare my support for the Dark Lord. However, I never expected the Dark Lord to be there, defeated by Porter Jr. Countless Death Eaters in the know are looking for me, trying to torture me and get revenge on me, and they think I have betrayed the Dark Lord......"

"Your information?!Potter?James Potter?!" Connelly Fudge stood up in shock and looked at Peter Pettigrew in disbelief, "but that's not Blake......

However, this time Peter Pettigrew's voice was not interrupted, he trembled all over his body and continued.

"The scariest thing is Sirius Black, because only Black knows that I am Jaime's secret man, and if the Dark Lord finds Jaime, then I must be the spy. I knew that when I learned that Jaime and Lily were dead, he would come to me, and he would stop at nothing to catch me and kill me......!

"That's right, at all costs, I'll kill you!"

At that moment, an angry roar rang out from the edge of the Quidditch field.

Even Peter Pettigrew, who had cast his magic, was almost overshadowed by this terrible roar, and the crowd who were listening intently to Peter Pettigrew's confession couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the roar.

A man, unkempt and skinny, stumbled through the wooden fence and burst out of the players' tunnel at the edge of the Quidditch pitch, his tattered robes fluttering like a large dog pounced on his prey.

Behind him was a grinning Ministry of Magic Auror rubbing his wrists.
