"Yes, James and Lily finally changed the secret keeper to me." Peter Pettigrew made a few snoring sounds, and then spoke in an emotionless tone.
When Peter admitted that he was Peter Petrew, there was a slight buzz in the seventh courtroom. When he revealed that he was the Potters' secret keeper, the entire courtroom exploded.
"Yes. But there are still big differences between adult wizards and Hogwarts students.
After a brief commotion, they all maintained restraint, but a few couldn't help but raise their fists and middle fingers at Peter.
Anyone who cares about the Sirius case knows that there is a key point in this case, and that is who the Potters chose as the secret keeper. With the protection of the Fidelity Charm, the mysterious man could not find the Potters, but he finally found them.
That means the secret keeper betrayed them.
Therefore, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that the Potters' secret keeper is a Death Eater who has taken refuge with the mysterious man.
Everyone thought it was Sirius Black before, but now the case has been reversed.
Fudge easily got the confession he wanted, but he still had a more important question to pry out of Peter's mouth today.
He suppressed his excitement and asked in as calm a tone as possible: "After that mysterious man lost power, why didn't you just fly away instead of lurking in the Weasley family?"
Peter's eyelids trembled twice, "Because I need to collect intelligence and find the most suitable time to welcome the master's return - or in other words, I want the master to make a comeback with my help -"
boom!
Now the wizards couldn't bear it any longer, and the roof of the entire courtroom was almost torn off.
"Asshole!"
"The crime is extremely heinous and deserves the death penalty!"
"Minister, send him to Azkaban immediately. He will never be able to escape!"
Peter's behavior can be said to have uncovered the evil spirits of the wizards present and awakened their deepest fears. The wizards present were generally between forty and sixty years old, and they had experienced the era of Grindelwald.
, don’t know how terrifying the first generation of the Dark Lord was. But they have all experienced the era when Voldemort was rampant, and have truly experienced first-hand the suffocating sense of oppression and precarity brought by Voldemort, and the pain of separation from relatives and friends.
For them, whoever wants to resurrect Voldemort is their number one enemy. How can a group of people who can't even believe the news of Voldemort's return let go of a guy who tries to resurrect Voldemort.
It was for Dumbledore's sake that they didn't rush off the field and beat Peter up. But even with Dumbledore calming down, the crowd was excited.
"So have you successfully resurrected the mysterious man?" Following Fudge's question, the entire courtroom became extremely quiet.
"No." Peter replied simply, "The time has not come yet."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As for the time to resurrect Voldemort, they didn't care, as long as it wasn't now!
Looking at the performance of the wizards around him, Dumbledore sighed. He never expected that the current magical world was so afraid of Voldemort. It seemed that as long as he returned and raised his arms, the entire Ministry of Magic would immediately
Like falling apart.
Dumbledore found that he had underestimated the extent of other people's fear of Tom Riddle. But it was normal, they didn't even dare to call him by his name, even if he had turned into a wandering ghost!
The demon king is gone, but his remaining power is shocking to the world.
He now regrets why he didn't persist and send those guys who pretended that they were not Death Eaters to Azkaban.
But you can’t blame him for being soft-hearted, because there were so many people who secretly collaborated with Voldemort!
It can be said that he and the Order of the Phoenix were forced into a dead end by Riddle and his men. Families loyal to the Order of the Phoenix were uprooted one after another, and the elites in the Ministry of Magic were killed one after another. The war situation became increasingly unsatisfactory.
, it is normal for those pure-blood families to waver.
Dumbledore even felt that if Tom Riddle did not believe the prophecy, but continued to develop steadily for a few more years to further weaken the power of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, then he and his minions could probably attack Hogwarts directly.
.
Dumbledore seemed a little weak during that period and stayed in Hogwarts. Mainly because he was not sure of victory in the face of Voldemort. If he lost, that would be a really big deal.
Everything comes to an end.
Thinking of this, Dumbledore's eyes were sharp for a moment, and then became calm and profound. He somewhat supported Tom's idea.
He believed that Riddle would definitely return. If that was the case, why not try to control the progress of his return himself? This would also allow him to fish and further weaken his power.
The battle with Voldemort is an overall duel between good and evil. If the Death Eaters can be weakened in advance, then Dumbledore will naturally not show mercy.
Fudge was very happy at this time. In any case, the Azkaban prison break incident has been solved by him - the fugitive is not guilty, so he is not a fugitive, and the prison break incident can be turned over from here. Even better,
He got the news: the mysterious man has not been resurrected yet. This is really great.
Although he was very happy and joyful in his heart, no emotion was shown on his face. He looked at Peter Pettigrew seriously and said: "I think there is no need to continue asking. Now I ask the jury to vote," Fudge
Speak up, "Raise your hands if you believe, as I do, that Peter Petru should be sentenced to life in Azkaban!"
Fudge didn't want to continue asking. He believed that the current evidence was enough to convict him, so he initiated a vote.
The result did not surprise him. Almost all wizards voted in favor, and some who objected only felt that Fudge's sentence was too light.
"Very good, lock him up in Azkaban!" Two dementors floated in, grabbed Peter's shoulders on the left and right, and took him out of the trial room. Together with the Aurors, they would put the little boy in jail.
Peter Dwarf is escorted to Azkaban.
Looking at Peter Pettigrew gradually going away, Fudge showed a happy smile. At this moment, bursts of loud applause came from behind him. He turned around and looked at the wizards present, and everyone's applause became even more enthusiastic.
Already.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to congratulate ourselves for successfully preventing the dark wizard's conspiracy!" Fudge couldn't help laughing.
Dumbledore looked at Fudge, who was smiling like a child, and also showed a kind smile. The only depressed person present was probably Amelia Bones. She watched Fudge complete the trial of Peter and felt
His reputation seems set to grow even further.
There is no way her impeachment will succeed! She thought to herself.
