In the spacious and luxurious principal's office, Fudge listened to the Auror's report and began to pace in circles.
"Peter Pettigrew is still alive?!"
Fudge said "unbelievable" seven times in a row, and shock, confusion and panic appeared on his sweaty face.
Since Halloween, he has had all the major newspapers publish article after article announcing that Peter Pettigrew has committed suicide, and now he is suddenly told... Peter is still alive!
How off the mark?!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and had the testimony of the silent Crocker, Fudge would never have believed it!
What's even more outrageous is that Peter used the Imperius Curse to control Crocker for nearly a year, and then stole the time turner today, and finally escaped.
If this news gets out, it will no longer be a matter of people questioning the credibility of the Ministry of Magic, but rather how Fudge...should roll off the stage and give up the minister's throne!
Fudge suddenly thought of another terrible thing. He looked horrified and said with a trembling voice:
"Albus...Peter...will use the time turner to go back to the night when the mysterious man was killed and save him from Harry Potter?"
Fudge couldn't imagine what a terrible scene it would be like if the Dark Lord had not died and lived till now.
Dumbledore, who had just held the Wizengamot Conference and returned from the Ministry of Magic, looked at the anxious Fudge and comforted him:
"Connelly, no matter what time Peter used the time turner to go back to or what he did... for us at this moment, it has become history and the past tense."
Dumbledore's face was calm and calm, and he smiled:
"Since in the history you know, the Dark Lord died in the hands of Harry Potter, then there is no possibility of him being saved by Peter."
"Yes... you are right, I am too worried."
Fudge took a deep breath. No matter what Peter had done, at this moment, he would change history.
In this history, the Dark Lord was killed by Potter...it cannot be changed.
Fudge was even a little bit lucky. Perhaps in another time and space, Crouch became a minister, and he was suppressed and excluded.
Because Peter changed history, he had the opportunity to become a minister.
Thinking about it this way, Fudge felt that he was very lucky.
Fudge asked cautiously: "So Peter Pettigrew..."
"Connelly, you don't have to worry." Dumbledore sat on the chair and took a sip of tea. He didn't have any lazy posture, but he still felt very leisurely and calm.
"On Halloween night, Peter was killed by Rolf. For us, this is also established history."
"Not only do we know the date of Peter's death, we also know where he died and even how he died."
"Peter may still be alive now, but in the near future, or in the distant past... he will still die. This is destined."
Fudge didn't understand Dumbledore's words, but after hearing his judgment, he nodded with satisfaction.
Dumbledore said there was no need to worry, so why worry? Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up.
Fudge looked at the boy standing in the corner again, and he said apologetically:
"Rolf, are you guys okay?"
When he arrived at the scene of the crime with the Aurors, he saw Rolf, Swinton and Granger working together to drive away hundreds of dementors.
Fudge was also shocked that three little wizards under the age of fourteen were able to summon a complete physical guardian angel.
Even he can't do it!
Forget it about Luo Fu, he can even kill werewolves, so we can't judge him by common sense, but what's going on with those two little girls... Why are they so powerful?
However, considering that the two of them have been with Luo Fu all day long, and must have received his professional, meticulous and in-depth training, 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 look on his face. He said coldly:
"Mr. Fudge, I could have captured Peter, but the dementors stopped me and attacked me and my two friends... This is the second time this has happened."
"Rolf, I will teach the dementor leader a lesson and let him come and apologize to you in person." Fudge said with a smile on his face: "Can you forgive them this time?"
Of course, it was impossible for Rolf to forgive the dementors, but he couldn't kill them now, so he could only settle for the next best thing and ask for some benefits.
"Since you have spoken, of course I can forgive you, but I have a condition."
"You can just ask for any conditions." Fudge quickly promised: "Rolf, as long as it is within my ability, I will solve it for you immediately."
Rolf said softly: "I want to go to Azkaban."
"Azkaban?" Fudge's eyes widened and he frowned and asked, "Why would you go to a place like that? There are only dementors and criminals there."
As the fifth largest college in Hogwarts, only high-level talents are eligible to go to Azkaban for "further education".
Such as the Death Eaters.
Of course, Rolf didn't go to prison to study. He wanted to go to the lake where Newt mentioned...the Dementors were born.
"Mr. Minister, I am a magical zoologist and I am very interested in the habitats of magical creatures like dementors." Rove explained.
"..."
This is the first time Fudge has seen a wizard who is interested in dementors. He is indeed Newt's grandson.
Without much hesitation, Fudge nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Just go, Luofu is not going to rob a prison anyway!
…
…
After Fudge left the office, Umbridge, who had been waiting for a long time in the corridor, quickly came over to greet her. She said in a sweet voice:
"Mr. Minister, are you out?"
"Well, Dolores, are you done with it?" Fudge asked.
"It has been taken care of. Those wizards in Hogsmeade who have seen Peter Pettigrew..." Umbridge waved her arms and said:
"I have asked the memory canceller to erase their memory."
Amnesiacs belong to the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. In accordance with the Statute of Secrecy, they are responsible for casting amnesia charms on Muggles who have witnessed magic-related events.

But there was nothing he could do. Fudge had been promoting Wormtail's death for a long time, and he didn't want the rumor to spread that Peter was still alive.
Even if it's a simple lie, once you start telling it, you have to tell it to the end.
"Well done, Dolores." Fudge glanced at Umbridge appreciatively. Although she looked ugly and looked like a toad, she was really capable.
Fudge now knows the taste of food and is somewhat inseparable from this assistant.
Umbridge hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Mr. Minister, there is one more thing."
"whats the matter?"
"The dementor leader said that they are missing a dementor."
"Missing?" Fudge frowned and said, "Have all places been checked?"
"We have checked." Umbridge nodded: "Including the dementors guarding the secret passage, we have lightly counted the number, and one dementor is indeed missing."
"Look for it quickly!" Fudge said solemnly: "I don't want to hear any more news about wizards or Muggles being attacked by dementors!"
"Yes, Mr. Minister!"
…
…
Dumbledore and Rolf were the only ones left in the principal's office.
"Professor Dumbledore, Hermione's time turner was taken away by Voldemort. We may need to apply for another one."
Luofu asked doubtfully: "Don't you ask Fudge for it?"
"Rolf, if you want to get a time turner, you need to apply to the Department of Mysteries." Dumbledore shook his head and said:
"Although the Department of Mysteries is nominally affiliated with the Ministry of Magic, it has a lot of autonomy...so there is no use asking Fudge."
Rolf frowned and said, "Will Corvinus Gaunt grant it to us?"
"Under the current circumstances, there is a high probability that he will not agree to the application." Dumbledore paused and said:
"unless……"
"Unless we give him Slytherin's basilisk?" Rove continued.
"That's right." Dumbledore nodded.
Luofu narrowed his eyes. The basilisk was a Horcrux, so of course it couldn't be traded to Gunter.
"Rolf, since you mentioned the time turner, it seems that you already know what you need to do next." Dumbledore said softly.
"Yes, Professor." Luofu pursed his lips and said calmly: "When I saw my patron saint, I figured everything out."
Rolf's patronus is a Niffler, which is exactly the same as the patronus he saw in the principal's office on Halloween night.
"But I don't have a time turner, how can I..."
"Who said no?"
Dumbledore stood up, looked at Rolf with a smile, gently waved his sleeves and robes, patted the young man on the shoulder, and motioned for him to walk to the window together.
Dumbledore looked towards the Forbidden Forest and sighed:
