Chapter 330: The Ministry of Magic's Troubles

"You appear to have lost your mind, Mr. Peter Pedillo."

Dumbledore said that with a tap of his fingers, the invisible chains formed by magic tightly controlled Peter.

"Perhaps, you should try to distinguish the relationship between fantasy and reality. This is very important, otherwise you will go crazy before you accept the sentence. As a wizard, you must remain rational enough, especially when facing When things happen.”

"No, this is impossible!" Peter shouted, his lips were trembling a little, but he spoke very quickly. It seemed that he was eager to say something, or to help him build confidence? Sad inner defense.

"I...I must be dreaming..." Peter said, he closed his eyes hard, and Fan Lin saw Peter's brows furrowed tightly on his pale face.

"Yes... I must be... I must be dreaming!" Peter murmured. He looked very flustered, and his face kept twitching.

Fan Lin suddenly felt a little pitiful for Peter. Being looked down upon by his friends and being used by Voldemort all stem from the cowardice in Peter's heart.

He would rather believe in the fantasy world created for him by Edun's magic than believe in what he saw with his own eyes and what he had personally experienced.

However, feeling is one thing, and pity is another. Peter is such a person. From being humble to adulthood, no matter it is due to family or other reasons, he cannot escape the conclusion that he is to blame. He cannot blame others. , so no one can give him a chance.

"I...I should be in the bar, or...in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. My godson Harry still has to take the ordinary wizard level exam. I should..."

"Shut your mouth, Peter!" Harry said, he really couldn't stand Peter tampering with Sirius's position.

Peter seemed to be startled. He opened his eyes, but the scene around him did not change at all. This made him panic. He felt that this illusion was too real, so real that no matter what method he came up with, he could not escape from it. Escape from this nightmare.

"It seems that Mr. Peter Pedro needs some time to sort out the confusing memories in his mind." Dumbledore said, "Connelly, maybe we should postpone the trial of Sirius Black. I think, wait. How about Mr. Peter Pedillo recuperating, that should be a good solution.”

Fudge mused that it seemed like a wrong decision to send Sirius Black to Azkaban without a trial.

Everyone thought it was Sirius who betrayed the Potter family. At the same time, it had to be said that once the matter involved the Dark Lord Voldemort, Fudge couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.

The Dark Lord is really too powerful. If Dumbledore hadn't resisted with all his strength at that time, and if Voldemort hadn't been inexplicably defeated by the famous Harry Potter because he didn't know what was going on, then the final development of the matter would have been very difficult. Something to expect.

You must know that the Death Eater army had completely surpassed the Ministry of Magic at that time. They simply relied on Dumbledore's powerful strength to support them, and their defeat had already been exposed.

"That's all it can do!" Fudge had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Dumbledore must have his confidence and reason in doing things. Although Fudge didn't understand how a cat brought Pettigrew here, it was obvious that these were arranged by Dumbledore. Just waiting for time, this is Dumbledore stalling for Peter's arrival.

Fudge suddenly felt regretful. Maybe he shouldn't have been so weak. He should have taken Sirius away by force as soon as he arrived at Hogwarts.

It is much easier to use Sirius to stop those damn comments in the wizarding world than to fill the gap with a recipient of the Order of Merlin.

This matter has become difficult to deal with. No matter what, the existence of Peter Pettigrew or Sirius has exposed the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic.

If it were Sirius, it would be okay. This can be understood as the consequence of the Ministry of Magic's temporary negligence. As long as they catch Sirius Black and execute him, it will be easier and they can go further. Demonstrate the strength of the Ministry of Magic.

No one can escape from the hands of the Ministry of Magic. He can tell the wizards under the Ministry of Magic that their Ministry of Magic is still powerful and unbreakable. All criminals will be detained in Azkaban. No one can A real escape.

But the appearance of Peter undoubtedly expanded this seemingly simple matter.

Sirius didn't kill Peter.

On that night twelve years ago, where Sirius and Peter fought, there has been one more person involved since then.

Putting Sirius into Azkaban without going through the trial process and staying there for twelve full years was undoubtedly an irresponsible decision by the Ministry of Magic.

It would be fine if Sirius was really a traitor, but Peter's appearance couldn't help but put a big question mark on Sirius's recorded crimes.

Betraying the Potter family, luring the Dark Lord to kill the families of his friends and comrades, the streets that were blown up, and the twelve innocent Muggles.

The appearance of Peter Pettigrew couldn't help but turn Sirius' guilt into an irresponsible verdict without basis.

It seems that things back then were not that simple, at least not as Foley remembered. The betrayer was most likely Peter, who was trembling in the corner in front of him.

The most ridiculous thing was that as the Minister of Magic, he personally presided over Peter's funeral and was buried in Peter Peddle's grave with his Merlin Medal.

Peter was probably the real betrayer, and Sirius was Peter's innocent scapegoat. Perhaps Sirius Black was the real recipient of Merlin's Medal. This was undoubtedly a huge challenge to the prestige of the Ministry of Magic.

The more Fudge thought about it, the uglier his face became.

He suddenly had an urge to kill two people.

The prestige of the Ministry of Magic was damaged. The most direct reason was that as the Minister of Magic, he could not get rid of this responsibility. He now only hoped that Dumbledore could hand over both of them to him.

However, this was obviously a luxury.

Dumbledore had his own ideas. Fudge was now powerless to resist. He had no reason to challenge Dumbledore.

"Perhaps, I can keep a close eye on these two people." (To be continued)
