In the spacious and luxurious headmaster's office, Fudge listened to the Aurors' report and began to pace in circles.

"Peter Pettigrew is still alive?!"

Fudge said seven "unbelievable" words in a row, and shock, confusion, and panic appeared on his sweaty face.

Since Halloween, he has had major newspapers advertise Peter Pettigrew that he has been subordination, and now he suddenly tells him...... Peter is alive!

Outrageous?!

If it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes, and for the testimony of Crocker the Silencer, Fudge wouldn't have believed it!

What's even more outrageous is that Peter also used the Imperius Curse to control Crocker for almost a year, and then snatched the time turner today, and finally escaped.

If this news spreads, it will no longer be a matter of the public questioning the credibility of the Ministry of Magic, but he Fudge...... In what posture should I roll off the stage and give up the minister's throne!

Fudge suddenly thought of another terrible thing, and he looked frightened, and his voice trembled:

Albus ...... Peter...... Will you use a time turner to go back to the night the mystery man was killed and save him from Harry Potter? ”

Fudge couldn't imagine what a terrible scene the Dark Lord would have been living if he hadn't died.

Dumbledore, who had just held a meeting of the Wizengamot and had returned from the Ministry of Magic, looked at the restless Fudge and comforted him:

"Connelly, whatever time or what did Peter do when he used the time turner...... For us at this moment, it has become history, and it is a thing of the past. ”

Dumbledore's face was flat and calm, and he smiled:

"Since the Dark Lord died at the hands of Harry Potter in your known history, there is no chance that he will be saved by Peter."

"That's right...... You're right, I'm too worried. ”

Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what Peter had done, at this moment, it was his history after he changed.

In this history, the Dark Lord was killed by Potter...... No changes.

Fudge even had a hint of rejoicing, perhaps in another time and space, Crouch became a minister, and he was a being suppressed and excluded.

It was Peter's change of history that gave him the opportunity to become a minister.

Thinking about it, Fudge felt lucky again.

Fudge asked cautiously, "So Peter Pettigrew ......"

"Connelly, you don't have to worry." Dumbledore sat in his chair, he took a sip of tea, there was no laid-back posture, but it still felt very laid-back.

"On Halloween night, Peter was killed by Rove, and that's a thing of history for us."

"We know not only when Peter died, but also where he died, and even how he died."

Peter may still be alive now, but in the near future, or in the distant past...... It is still impossible to escape death, this is a fateful thing. ”

Fudge didn't understand Dumbledore's words, but nodded in satisfaction when he heard his judgment.

Dumbledore said not to worry, so what are you worried about? Anyway, the sky is falling, and there are tall men on top of it.

Fudge looked at the boy standing in the corner again, and he said apologetically:

"Rove, are you alright?"

When he arrived at the scene of the crime with the Aurors, he saw Rove, Swinton, and Granger, who had worked together to drive away hundreds of Dementors.

Fudge was also shocked that three young wizards under the age of fourteen were able to summon a complete physical guardian spirit.

Not even he can do it!

Forget about Rove, he can even kill werewolves, and he can't deal with it with common sense, but what's the matter with those two little girls...... Why is it so powerful?

However, considering that the two of them have been with Rove all day long, they must have received his professional, meticulous and in-depth training, and it seems reasonable to have that kind of strength.

Fudge had a smile on his face, but Rove didn't have much of a good face, and he said coldly:

"Mr. Fudge, I could have caught Peter, but it was the Dementors who stopped me and attacked me and my two friends...... This is the second time this has happened. ”

"Rov, I'll teach the Dementor leader a lesson and have him apologize to you himself." Fudge laughed all over his face, "Forgive them this time, right?" ”

Of course, there was no way that Rov could forgive the Dementors, but he couldn't kill them now, so he had to settle for some favors.

"Of course I can forgive you for speaking up, but I have one condition."

"What conditions, you just mention." Fudge hurriedly promised: "Rov, as long as it is within my ability, I will solve it for you immediately." ”

Rove said softly, "I want to go to Azkaban." ”

"Azkaban?" Fudge's eyes widened, and he frowned and asked, "What are you going to do in that kind of place?" There are only Dementors and criminals there. ”

As the fifth house of Hogwarts, only high-level talents are eligible to go to Azkaban for "further study".

Like the Death Eaters.

Rove, of course, didn't go to prison for further study, he wanted to go to Newt's mention...... Take a look at the lake where the Dementors were born.

"Mr. Minister, I'm a magizoologist and interested in the habitat of magical creatures like Dementors." Rove explained.

“……”

It's the first time Fudge has seen a wizard interested in Dementors, and he's Newt's grandson.

Fudge didn't hesitate too much, then nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Just go, anyway, Rove is not going to rob prison!

……

……

After Fudge left the office, Umbridge, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, hurried over to greet her, and said in a sweet and greasy voice:

"Mr. Minister, are you out?"

"Well, Dolores, is it dealt with?" Fudge asked.

"That's been dealt with, Hogsmeade's wizards who saw Peter Pettigrew......" Umbridge said with a wave of his arm:

"I've had the memory cancellers erase their memories."

The amnestics belong to the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and are responsible for administering the Oblivion Charm to Muggles who have witnessed magic-related events under the Secrecy Act.

It's rare to use an Oblivion Charm on a wizard like this today.

But it can't be helped, Fudge has been promoting Wormtail dead for a long time, and he doesn't want to spread the rumor that Peter is still alive.

Even if it's a simple lie, once you start telling it, get to the end.

"Well done, Dolores." Fudge glanced appreciatively at Umbridge, who was ugly and like a toad, but she was capable.

Fudge now knows the marrow, and he can't do without this assistant.

Umbridge hesitated for a moment and snorted, "Mr. Minister, there is one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Dementor leader says they're missing a Dementor."

"Missing?" Fudge frowned and said, "Have you checked everything?" ”

"Checked." Umbridge nodded, "Including the Dementors guarding the secret passages, we all tapped the number, and indeed a Dementor was missing." ”

"Hurry up and find it!" Fudge muttered, "I don't want to hear any more about wizards or Muggles being attacked by Dementors!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Minister!"

……

……

In the Headmaster's office, only Dumbledore and Rove remained.

"Professor Dumbledore, Hermione's time-turner was stolen by Voldemort, and we may need to request another one."

Rove wondered, "Don't you ask Fudge if you want it?" ”

"Brother, if you want to get a time turner, you'll need to apply to the Department of Mysteries." Dumbledore shook his head and said:

"Although nominally subordinate to the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries has a great deal of autonomy...... So it's useless to ask Fudge. ”

Rove frowned and said, "Will Corvinus Gaunt grant it to us?" ”

"Under these circumstances, there is a high probability that he will not agree to the application." Dumbledore paused and said:

"Unless ......"

"Unless we give him the Slytherin basilisk?" Rove continued.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded.

Rove narrowed his eyes, the basilisk was a Horcrux, and of course it couldn't be traded to Gaunt.

"Rove, now that you mentioned the time turner, it looks like you already know what you need to do next." Dumbledore said softly.

"Yes, Professor." Rove pursed his lips and said calmly, "When I saw my Patronus, I figured it all out. ”

Rove's Patronus is a Sniffer, and the Patronus he saw in the Headmaster's office on Halloween night...... Same.

"But I don't have a time converter, how can I ......"

"Who says no?"

Dumbledore stood up, he smiled at Rove, waved his robe slightly, patted the boy on the shoulder, and motioned for him to walk to the window together.

Dumbledore looked at the Forbidden Forest, and he sighed:

"What we want is there, even though it's broken."
