Chapter 436: Fudge is a good minister
Kyle paused, looking back at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore, on the other hand, just stood there calmly until Harry and the others had left, and then he spoke, "Don't worry, Blake, there are no Dementors here, and you don't need to keep your Animagus all the time. ”
"I'm sorry Headmaster." Blake, who turned back, looked like a student who had done something wrong, just standing there and whispering, "I just haven't figured out how to face you yet." ”
Looking at his ragged clothes and sunken eyes, Dumbledore only felt in a trance.
But in the end he didn't say anything, just waved his hand.
Immediately in front of Blake there was a table full of steaks, bread, and baked potatoes.
"I think you should need this right now...... You're welcome, just eat. ”
Blake's throat moved, and he reached out and grabbed a piece of bread.
He seemed to be trying to keep his demeanor, but he didn't know if he was too hungry or if he hadn't eaten normal food in a long time, and his speed was getting faster and faster, and in less than a few minutes he was gobbling up.
Dumbledore didn't care about any of this, just added some more bread and pumpkin juice, and walked over to Peter in the cage, bent down, and looked at it carefully.
Peter was awake, curled up in his cage shivering.
"Another Animagus disguised as a pet." Dumbledore said leisurely, "Looks like we need to do a big check-up on the students' pets...... I'm curious, Kyle, what you're saying he's for. ”
"I guess I want to know what's going on in the wizarding world." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Staying in a wizarding family is always the first to hear from Tom. ”
"It's been a long time since I've heard that name, and I almost thought you were talking about the owner of the Leaky Cauldron." Dumbledore smiled.
Then he continued: "But Peter probably didn't expect that someone would use mandrake leaves to make pet tonic...... Seriously, even when I heard the news, I was amazed at your generosity. ”
"For the sake of friends...... "for a little leaf, I can still afford it." ”
"Rest assured...... I'll compensate...... Yours! Blake's mouth bulged and he said indistinctly, "How much do those tonics cost...... It's all on my head. ”
Blake is very confident.
He didn't have anything else, just a lot of gold, not to mention a few mandrake leaves, even if he ate that thing for dinner.
Kyle raised an eyebrow, it's naturally good that someone reimburses him, but it's not appropriate to talk about that now.
He looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Professor, what are you going to do?" ”
"There's no hurry, I have to confirm one thing before I do that."
As he spoke, Dumbledore kept looking at Peter, and after a moment of thought, he took out his wand.
As the blue light from the Elder Wand shone on Peter, the rat visibly grew larger...... But after a moment it was back to the way it was.
Seeing that Dumbledore couldn't turn him back, Peter lay in his cage in a daze, as if he was in complete despair.
"Oh!" Dumbledore was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, just turned his wand, the tip of the wand against Peter's head, and gently flicked it......
A wisp of silver was brought out by the wand.
Dumbledore walked briskly to a stone basin in the corner and put the memory on his wand inside.
The silver light flowed in the meditation basin, and Dumbledore put his fingers on the meditation basin, squinting slightly.
It didn't take long for Dumbledore's originally calm face to become unsightly.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing, and Sirius felt as if there were hundreds of Dementors next to him, and unconsciously let go of the bone in his hand that had been gnawed clean by him, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Fawkes jumped onto Kyle's shoulder and let out a soft scream.
"Thank you...... I'm okay. ”
Kyle scratches the feathers around Fawkes' neck and pulls out some herbs to feed him.
Little by little, time passed.
After about ten minutes, Dumbledore, who had read his memories, reopened his eyes.
He glanced blankly in the direction of the cage, and at once, Peter let out a high-pitched cry, and kept hitting the cage with his head, as if trying to escape.
Until it knocked itself unconscious, the cage was still intact...... That's for sure, to prevent it from escaping, Kyle became an iron cage, just wrapped in a layer of wood.
Dumbledore took a deep breath and said softly, "I've seen it all...... Including how he snitched and how he framed you...... You've been waiting for this day for a long time......"
Sirius clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaving violently, and he rubbed his red eyes into a low whimper...... The voice grew louder and louder, until he could no longer suppress it, and he began to cry.
But such a loud cry still did not wake up the portraits in the headmaster's room, and they closed their eyes, as if they were asleep.
Can the portrait need to sleep?
Kyle stares at them, and soon realizes that one of the portraits has creefully opened his eyes, and it is Phineas Black, the most unpopular headmaster of all time.
After noticing Kyle's gaze, he simply stopped pretending, opened his eyes directly, and shouted loudly.
"I said before that the people of the Black family would never do such a despicable thing!"
"Fart!" A bearded wizard didn't give him face at all, and immediately revealed the old man's bottom and said: "You have always regarded Sirius as a family shame, and you said that you would remove him!" ”
"I, I didn't say that!" Phineas stiffened his neck and said, "You slander me, you slander me!" ”
"Oh, I testify, you did say such things." A fat wizard who didn't think much of a big deal said, "You also said that the Black family will never have his place......"
"I can testify ...... too"
"I've heard it too, tsk......"
Seeing his black history being turned out one by one, Phineas yelled angrily, "Nonsense, you are all talking nonsense, I didn't say it." ”
However, in the face of so many principals, his quibbles were a little pale.
"It's all to blame on that damn Peter Pettigrew, that vile, shameless fellow......"
In the end, Phineas simply changed the subject, looked at Dumbledore and said, "Albus, you can't sit idly by and watch this matter, you must find a way to clear Sirius!" If you don't care, I'll make you can't work every day......"
"Phineas, when did I say I'm going to sit idly by." Dumbledore's smile returned.
Sirius also looked up, "You're really willing to help me." ”
"Of course I'll help you, there's no doubt about that." Dumbledore said, "But the question is what we do. ”
He tapped his finger on the table, "Although it is a bit bad to say this, but the misjudgment of you is a dereliction of duty on the part of the Ministry of Magic in the first place, and Peter has been a recipient of the Order of Merlin for twelve years, and now he suddenly discovers that he has made a mistake, which will make the Ministry of Magic lose face."
It's hard for them to accept it. ”
The excitement on Sirius' face faded.
He only thought that sending Peter out would reveal the truth, but he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship as the Ministry of Magic.
Yes, those people value face the most, do they really care if they are innocent?
Sirius began to feel apprehensive......
"Professor, I think you're all overthinking."
At this time, Kyle suddenly laughed and said, "The current Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, is competent and fair, and I believe that he will be willing to give Sirius a clean slate." ”
