Chapter 330: Troubles of the Ministry of Magic
"It looks like you've lost your mind, Mr. Peter Pedirul. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Dumbledore said, and with the flick of his fingers, the invisible chains of magic held Peter firmly in control.
"Perhaps, it is important that you try to distinguish between fantasy and reality, otherwise you will go crazy before you accept the verdict. As a wizard, you have to be sane enough, especially when it comes to things. ”
"No, it can't be!" cried Peter, his lips trembling a little, but speaking quickly, as if he was desperate to say something, or, to help him build up his self-confidence?
"I ...... I must be dreaming......" Peter said, closing his eyes fiercely, and Van Lin saw Peter's pale face, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
"Right...... I must be ...... It must be a dream!" Peter muttered, his face twitching in a panicked manner.
Van Lin suddenly felt some pity for Peter. Despised by his friends and used by Voldemort, the source of everything comes from the timidity in Peter's heart.
He would rather believe in the fantasy world that Edenen's magic had created for him than in what he saw with his eyes and what he had experienced.
However, it is one thing to feel that it is one thing, and it is another thing to be pitiful, Peter is such a person, from humble to large, whether it is due to family or other reasons, he can't run away from the conclusion that he is to blame, and this is not to blame others, so no one can give him a chance.
"I ...... Should I be at the bar, or ...... In the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, my godson Harry is still going to take the ordinary wizard level exam, I should ......"
"Shut up, Peter!" said Harry, who couldn't stand Peter's tampering with Sirius' position.
Peter seemed startled, he opened his eyes, and the scene around him did not change at all, which made him panic, he felt that this illusion was too real, so real that no matter what he could do, he could not escape from this nightmare.
"It looks like Mr. Peter Pedirou is going to need some time to get some of the messy memories in his head. Dumbledore said, "Connelly, perhaps we should postpone the trial of Sirius Black, I think it would be a good solution to wait for Mr. Peter Pedirus to recover." ”
Fudge pondered, and he felt that it seemed like a bad decision to put Sirius Black in Azkaban without trial.
Everyone thought it was Sirius's betrayal of the Potter family, and at the same time, it has to be said that once the matter involved the Dark Lord Voldemort, Fudge couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart.
The Dark Lord was too powerful, if it weren't for Dumbledore's full resistance at the time, if Voldemort didn't know what was going on and was inexplicably defeated at the hands of the famous Harry Potter, then the final development of things would still be a difficult thing to predict.
You know, the Death Eaters' army had completely surpassed the Ministry of Magic at that time, and they only relied on Dumbledore's strong strength to support them, and their defeat had already been revealed.
"That's all there is to it!" Fudge nodded in agreement.
Dumbledore must have his confidence and reason for doing things, although Fudge didn't understand how a cat brought Pettigrew here, but it was obvious that Dumbledore had arranged it, and he was waiting for time, which was Dumbledore's delay for Peter's arrival.
Fudge suddenly regretted that perhaps he shouldn't have been so weak, that he should have forcibly taken Sirius away as soon as he arrived at Hogwarts.
It's much easier to use Sirius to silence the damn talk in the wizarding world than it is to fill in the void with a Sir Merlin Medalist.
The matter became difficult to deal with, either Peter Pettigrew or Sirius, the presence of both of them was a testament to the incompetence of the Ministry.
If Sirius was to say otherwise, it could be understood as the result of a moment of negligence in the work of the Ministry, as long as they caught Sirius Black and put him to death, it would be easier and would further demonstrate the strength of the Ministry.
No one can escape from the Ministry, he can tell the wizards under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic that their Ministry of Magic is still strong and unbreakable, and that all the criminals will be taken into Azkaban, and no one can really escape.
But Peter's appearance is undoubtedly an expansion of this seemingly simple matter.
Sirius did not kill Peter.
On that night twelve years ago, where Sirius fought Peter, there was one more person involved.
Throwing Sirius into Azkaban for twelve years without going through the trial process was undoubtedly an irresponsible decision by the Ministry of Magic.
It would be fine if Sirius was really a traitor, but Peter's appearance couldn't help but put a big question mark on Sirius's recorded crimes.
The family that betrayed the Potters, lured the Dark Lord into killing his friends and comrades, and the streets that blew up, and the twelve innocent Muggles.
Peter Pettigrew's appearance can't help but turn Sirius's guilt into an unwarranted and irresponsible verdict.
It seems that things were not so simple back then, at least not as Foley remembered, and the betrayer was probably the Peter in front of him who was hiding in the corner and shivering.
The most ridiculous thing is that he, as Minister of Magic, also personally presided over Peter's funeral, and was buried in Peter Pediru's grave along with his Sir Merlin Medal.
Peter is likely to be the real betrayer, and Sirius is Peter's innocent scapegoat, and perhaps Sirius Black is the real recipient of the Order of Merlin, which is undoubtedly a great challenge to the prestige of the Ministry of Magic.
The more Fudge thought about it, the more ugly his face became.
He suddenly felt the urge to kill two people.
The prestige of the Ministry of Magic has been damaged, and most directly, as the Minister of Magic, this responsibility is inextricable, and he only hopes that Dumbledore can hand over both of them to him.
However, this is clearly a luxury.
Dumbledore had his own ideas, and Fudge was powerless to resist right now, and he simply didn't have a sufficient reason for him to argue with Dumbledore.
"Perhaps, I can keep a close eye on these two people. ”
