Chapter 219 Thanks to a friend(1/2)
This way——
"Ahem..." Bree coughed, and the little Slytherin snake immediately lowered his raised hand, followed closely by Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and even Gryffindor also withdrew their hands...
This seemed to be a signal. The adult wizards also noticed something was wrong. What happened to the little wizard who just shouted louder than them?
So they all withdrew their hands, and the entire hall seemed to have lost all the excitement just now, and was extremely calm. Everyone looked at Fudge and raised his hands in embarrassment, as if waiting for him to put it down.
"This child is too powerful tonight, Albus." A very old wizard walked to Dumbledore's side. She was dressed in simple clothes, but she was a member of the Wizengamot Court.
Befriended Dumbledore privately, and lived in seclusion in Hogsmeade, so he experienced what happened tonight.
"Yes, this is a good thing for tonight, and this kind of power will recede after the wizards leave Hogwarts." Dumbledore said slowly.
The old man looked at Bree from a distance, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking, and she whispered: "Well, it seems that he wants to refute something. Fudge does not give you face...
I heard you agreed to the Ministry's participation in next year's competition?"
"This is not a big deal. The Ministry of Magic wants fame and prestige, and I just want Hogwarts to be stable. There is no conflict." Dumbledore did not deny it, but he added: "I have a hunch that he will be back soon.
, I have to be prepared, and I hope the Ministry of Magic can help me share some of the burden next year."
"Oh, you are just calculating, but..." Disgust flashed in the old man's eyes, and he asked extremely seriously: "Is he really coming back?"
Dumbledore nodded: "His servant has escaped. You know that magic."
The old man's face changed, and it took him a long time to exhale.
"This has nothing to do with us. It's your business. The most we can do is help you with some small favors. The rest, you are much better at than us."
Here, Fudge finally couldn't withstand the pressure. He put down his hand, looked ugly, and tried to lower his voice: "What are you doing, Ode?"
Fudge knew that he couldn't move Bree for the time being, but that didn't mean he was afraid of Bree.
"I don't think Blake has anything to do with werewolves. Or, perhaps, Blake is indeed innocent, thirteen years ago."
Fudge seemed to have heard a joke. He laughed loudly and said after a long time: "Black has still been imprisoned for twelve years. Now you say he is innocent. Who will believe it?"
The child is still a child after all, so naive to say such a thing.
Fudge continued: "Why did you defend Blake, Ode?"
"It's just a matter of entrustment and a common deed."
"Don't cause trouble, Mr. Odd, you should sit down..." Fudge was angry. He would soon be able to establish his prestige in front of these wizards.
"Does Secretary Fudge not want the truth to come out?"
"Of course not... Oh, I mean the truth has been obvious for a long time!" Fudge stared at Bree sharply, hoping that he would retreat quickly.
Unfortunately, this is Brie's home court.
"Maybe a drop of veritaserum can prove Blake's innocence. We just need to get the right to use it. I think Blake will agree." With that, Brie threw the puppy out of her arms, and the puppy also
Became Blake.
"Oh!" There were gasps in the hall.
"B, Blake, catch him quickly!"
"And Bri Old, he..."
"Wait a minute, I think Veritaserum can be used." came an old female voice.
The old man who had just been talking to Dumbledore stood up. She stared at Bree and said slowly: "Child, I hope your words are correct, otherwise the charge of hiding a criminal will fall on you, even if you do it today.
It's a great thing, and it needs a certain amount of punishment."
The old man did not dare to say anything, otherwise he would provoke the enemy in vain and the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Lady Tiberus Ogden?"
When Fudge saw this person coming out, his expression changed, and he finally advised: "Veritaserum can only be used when the Ministry of Magic agrees that it can be used..."
"Oh, as the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, can't you decide whether to use Veritaserum in front of so many important wizards?" Ogden's old face flashed with disdain, and he quickly said: "It just so happens that as a
A member of the Wizengamot, qualified to prepare Veritaserum."
As he spoke, Ogden took out a bottle of colorless liquid from his pocket.
"Just take a small sip."
The Minister of Magic watched and did not stop him. He did not think it was useful. Instead, he was thinking about how to punish the Odd family. This was an opportunity that came to their door.
Sirius looked at Bree, who nodded and motioned for him to hurry up.
The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic gathered around, took the Veritaserum from Ogden, and came to Sirius.
"Let him drink it and it will be a fearless struggle." Fudge put on a disgusting face.
Soon, Sirius drank the Veritaserum.
"Are you joining forces with the werewolf Lupine to attack Hogwarts with the werewolves of the Forbidden Forest?" Ogden took over Fudge's job, and Fudge had no objections. For Ogden, a long-time veteran of the Ministry of Magic,
, he will still give some face.
"No."
"Huh?" Fudge's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, "No, how could it not be there? Could it be Veritaserum..."
Ogden stopped Fudge, and she said dissatisfied: "Can't my potion skills still be recognized?"
"Of course, of course, but...could it be that Black has some means..."
When Ogden heard this, he became even more dissatisfied: "Even Dumbledore can't completely resist the power of Veritaserum!"
Fudge was speechless and could only stare at Sirius fiercely.
He said: "Did you escape from Azkaban and come to Hogwarts with the purpose of killing Harry Potter?"
Fudge must let Sirius go to Azkaban today, otherwise he will lose his face.
"no."
"What?"
Fudge was stunned. This crime was a definite matter, and all wizards agreed on it.
The wizards below were also talking about it.
"Then what is the purpose of your coming to Hogwarts, and why have you hidden it for so long?" Ogden's eyes flickered and he looked at Dumbledore. Dumbledore's expression was still blank. She immediately said sternly to Sirius: "Speak!
"
"I..." Sirius frowned in pain. He exuded a strong sense of regret. His thin body was trembling and hoarse, and he said with hatred: "It's for Peter Pedro, who is hiding in Hogwart."
Tzu, I’ve been looking for him!”
"Peter Pedillo?" Who is this?
Fudge frowned, trying to remember who this man was and what punishment he could give Black.
"Peter?" Professor McGonagall stood up. She covered her mouth and said, "Is it Peter who was in the same grade as you when he was in Gryffindor?"
Sirius's eyes were red and he nodded slowly.
"Oh, my God, what happened? Didn't he die? He was chased by you and died in the street. You also killed a dozen Muggles at that time?" Professor McGonagall still remembered Peter's death.
This is a very honest and honest child, a good friend of Sirius, who was gradually led astray by Sirius, and became a troublemaker that gave her a headache!
"It's that Peter, he..." Fudge also remembered that Peter's death was one of the reasons why Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban. For this, Peter was also awarded the Order of Merlin!
"You're lying!" Fudge roared, but quickly turned off the engine again. This time Black drank the Veritaserum!
"Peter is not dead, he is also an unregistered Animagus, a mouse!" Sirius shouted.
now it's right!
Everyone suddenly realized, and Harry and Ron also stood up.
"We can prove it!"
"I, I, that mouse ran into my house, and we didn't know it, but we raised him for thirteen years!" Ron was so scared that he trembled when he thought of Peter's appearance.
"He's a mouse missing a finger!"
"Is it Scabbers?" The Wesley twins also jumped out, but Percy's face turned sallow. He looked at Fudge worriedly, and quickly exhaled again.
Fudge clenched his fists and racked his brains to think of Sirius' other crimes...
correct!
"You, but you blew up the streets and killed a dozen Muggles. You can't deny it!"
"No!" Sirius yelled: "That was Peter's trap, a trap he used to fake his own death to escape. He knew I was going to kill him!"
"Don't be ridiculous, Peter was a hero at that time, but you betrayed the wizarding world, became a member of the mysterious man, and killed Peter and his wife!" Fudge's eyes flashed with uneasiness, and he wanted to end it quickly.
"Someone, bring him..."
The Aurors moved upon hearing the sound.
"Wait, Minister Fudge, we have to hear what he has to say." A coercion came from inside the Hogwarts castle, making the Aurors present unable to move and frozen in place like statues.
"You, you are obstructing the Ministry of Magic's work, Oded!"
