Chapter 347: The Situation Ferments
The Wizengamot's trial of Peter Pettigrew was apparently not going to satisfy anyone in the wizarding world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many people expressed great concern about such a terrible event, and the day after the results of the trial were announced, the Daily Prophet received a large number of letters from radicals.
They demanded that the Wizengamot retract the first-instance verdict and impose a harsh punishment on Peter Pettigrew, and that the call for capital punishment was the highest.
In their eyes, Peter Pettigrew's punishment was too mild.
A murderer who has deceived the wizarding world for twelve years has violated more than just one or two laws.
Framing Sirius Black, bringing down the Black family, betraying the wizarding world, selling information to Voldemort, and violating Muggle protection laws by casting the Unforgivable Curse.
Each one is enough for Peter Pettigrew to stay in Azkaban for the rest of his life.
However, even then, the Wizengamot trial ended only in Peter Pettigrew being imprisoned in Azkaban as a felon.
It was believed that he should be killed outright, or that the Azkaban caretakers, the Dementors, should suck his soul outright.
It was a good decision, at least everyone thought so, that only death was the best fate for such a heinous person who betrayed his friends.
However, this is not a very difficult thing to do in the Wizengamot.
They hadn't sentenced a single wizard to death for hundreds of years, and compared to Muggles, the existence of every wizard was a scarce resource, and it was only possible for a wizard with magical talent to appear in tens of thousands of people. Even the verdict of the first Dark Lord Grindelwald was only to be imprisoned, in fact, in the legal literature, the life of wizards was protected, and everyone knew this.
And the reason why people are so radical is nothing more than because of Sirius' jailbreak.
Azkaban had lost its credibility, the strongest cage had been terminated by Sirius, and the people no longer believed in the methods of the Ministry of Magic. In case one day some of the most vicious dark wizards escaped from Azkaban, the most serious harm would be, of course, the ordinary civilian wizards of the six or seven magical worlds.
Many wizards are not up to par, and now they are not at all in the Middle Ages, and the wizards of the peaceful era rely on nothing but the pitiful protection provided by the Ministry of Magic.
They were afraid that Peter would escape from Azkaban.
For this reason, the Ministry of Magic repeatedly promised that Peter Pettigrew would be kept under strict control, and in fact, they did exactly that, imprisoning Peter in the deepest part of Azkaban, where it was dark and the only thing Peter could see was the Dementors.
But with Sirius's precedent, people in the wizarding world did not believe in Fudge and the Ministry of Magic, and it has to be said that many people were disappointed by the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic and his ministers.
In this case, Fudge had to take control of the Daily Prophet and pull the spearhead to Sirius.
Sirius Black was the only wizard to escape from Azkaban, and if it weren't for the fact that there was nothing to divert the subject, the Ministry wouldn't have pointed the finger at Sirius.
They did an entire page of interviews with Sirius, from Sirius' prison break, to the time they endured for so long, all the way to the capture of Peter Pettigrew.
However, to Van Lin's satisfaction, the report on the Sirius incident, under Dumbledore's guidance, downplayed the role of several children, which made Van Lin feel a little more relaxed.
Naturally, Sirius became a hero in the wizarding world, and unlike ordinary curiosity, Sirius was adored by the vast majority of people.
This is different from Harry, who is so small, so small that no one can convince at all.
People's attitude towards Harry was more of a comfort to their hearts, they just needed a reason for Voldemort's disappearance, and as for how Voldemort disappeared, no one paid attention to this process at all.
Sirius is different, he is an adult wizard with a lot of experience in fighting against the dark arts, even during the period of fighting Voldemort, Sirius's activity is also seen by many people, if it were not for Peter's frame, Sirius would have lived as a hero.
But it's not too late.
Take Gilderoy Lockhart, a best-selling novelist, whose fame is nothing more than relying on all kinds of magical experiences to attract most readers.
No one cares if it's true or not, they just need a spiritual comfort.
Sirius, on the other hand, is different, everything about him is true inside and out, and it can be verified from Hogwarts back then.
Unlike the Muggle world, the wizarding world worships power, and strong personal power always fascinates wizards, and it stands to reason that the wizarding world needs a hero.
And just after Gilderoy disappeared to the United States, Sirius perfectly inherited Gildero's place.
The recovered Sirius, whether in appearance, strength, or experience, far surpassed Gildelow in all aspects.
Sirius successfully transformed into a fighter in the dark, fighting against the evil forces, led by Voldemort, which are much more powerful than vampires or Tibetan snowmen.
Soon, Sirius captured a large number of fans, and the Daily Prophet report was like Sirius Black's autobiography, which was collected by a large number of female fans, and Van Lin also saw several Hufflepuff seniors secretly cut the picture of Sirius from the Daily Prophet, perhaps as a personal collection, in short, Van Lin did not want to explore anything too much.
"I heard Sirius has a book signing today?" said Harry, holding the new issue of the Daily Prophet with Sirius sitting behind a table with a quill in his hand.
"Are they going to make Sirius like a Gildero? a new national icon, if Sirius can really match their demands. Hermione said, a little annoyed at the thought of her admiration for Gildero's prowess.
"I'm more curious about what Sirius is signing. Harry said, curious about it, knowing that Sirius didn't have any writings.
To be exact, it was worse to ask Sirius to write something than to kill him, he was not Gildero, he had a huge writing skills, and he didn't have so many skills to deal with fans.
"Maybe someone helped him write his autobiography, it's been a week now, and this kind of thing can always be done. Van Lin said that the hall was now full of news reports about Sirius, which was big news, and this kind of dominating the screen would last at least a few days.
"I think Sirius must be very happy, you see how naturally he smiles. Ron said that Madam Pomfrey had allowed him to be discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, and his small team of four happily accepted him again.
For this, Ron was very happy, with the help of everyone, he had completely stepped out of the shadow of being controlled by Peter Pettigrew with the Imperius Curse, of course, what excited him the most was the affirmation of everyone, the control of the Imperius Curse is extremely difficult for anyone to break free.
And Ron, a young wizard in the third year, was controlled by an adult wizard with the Imperius Curse, and then at the last moment broke free from the comfort of his mind and reminded his partner to avoid the curse.
At least Mrs. Weasley was proud of Ron, who thought her youngest son had finally grown up, and was not so mediocre compared to his three friends.
This was a great encouragement for Ron, who had always been eager to be recognized, and it must be said that he started out like Peter Pettigrew was in his foursome.
It's mediocre and has no sense of existence.
However, he is much stronger than Peter Pettigrew, at least he is loyal enough to his friends, and he is also hot-blooded, and he can stand in the way of his friends, especially when it comes to Malfoy.
"I don't think so, Sirius is not Gildero, he hates such activities, even though he usually acts very recklessly and high-profilely. Hermione said, and she looked at Sirius in the newspaper again, and she had to admit that Sirius in the newspaper had a very easy-going smile.
It reminded her of Gildero.
Oh shit, why think of this guy again, it's simply a stain on Hermione's life.
"I also think it's weird. "But his complexion looks good, at least his body has fully recovered, I heard that it was a tonic given to the Ministry of Magic by Nicolame, and asked the Ministry of Magic to pass it on to Sirius." ”
"How's it going?" Harry asked, he knew very well that Sirius's body was in trouble, twelve years in prison had destroyed almost everything Sirius had as a wizard, and if Sirius's heart hadn't been dead and barely active, the last bit of magic in his body that was pitiful enough to support his transformation into Animagus would have been worn out in time.
"I heard that the effect is good, I met Sirius in the principal's office, he was already recovering well at that time, although he couldn't make up all the time, but at least he wasn't so vulnerable, just a few years less than others. ”
"That's nothing. Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as his life isn't threatened." ”
Van Lin nodded, but at the thought of Dumbledore telling Sirius that Voldemort would return, Van Lin felt that Sirius would rather live a few years less, and that he needed strength to protect Harry, which was especially important to Black.
