Chapter 449 The Return of Dumbledore

Harry and Ron also realized this and turned to look at Ivan in surprise. When they were at the observatory, they didn't notice Ivan's existence at all.

"Ivan, how did you do this?" Hermione looked at Ivan and asked curiously.

"It only takes a few special magics to do it. Those dementors are really not very smart. It's not that difficult to hide from them." Ivan said a few words vaguely to fool him, and then hurriedly moved away. Topic said.

"By the way, Harry! You all should be more at ease these days and don't go looking for Sirius again! Although I helped you cover it up this time, the Aurors have not given up on finding the person who sneaked into the observatory."

Harry and others nodded quickly. Although they had many questions, they did not dare to ask any more questions because of their guilty conscience.

Hermione threw the books she was holding onto the table with a bang, clapped her hands, and spoke. "Now that that matter has been resolved, it's time to get down to business!"

Ivan glanced at the thick books on the table and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Trial Collection of Major Cases in Modern Times" "Super Defense Skills - How to Overwhelm Your Opponent in Court" "1983 British (Magical World) Law Revision" "Self-cultivation of Defenders"

"I'm just going to appear in court to give evidence. I shouldn't need to read so many books, right?" Harry looked at the thickness of these books and felt an inexplicable urge to run away.

"But do you know how to be a qualified witness?" Hermione glared at him, opened the book Super Defense Skills, flipped through the pages, and pointed at the content.

"I have watched the defense process of more than a hundred major cases. I bet that in the trial court, Peter's defender will definitely find ways to make things difficult for you. He will find loopholes in your words and even use words to lure you into drawing conclusions. Wrong conclusion."

"So you must be prepared before the trial officially begins! Even if it can increase your chances of winning a little, it's good!" Hermione added.

"But who will find a defender for Peter Pettigrew?" Ron curled his lips and complained.

But just as he finished speaking, Hermione retorted.

"Peter's mother is still alive. I found out in the Chronicles of Magical World that after Peter disappeared, the Ministry of Magic awarded him a Merlin Order, First Class, which Peter's mother went to receive. And even if no one is willing to give it to Peter, The trial court will also find a defender for him!"

Harry looked at the books piled on the table with a grimace on his face. He was not interested in reading in the first place, let alone reading these boring extracurricular books.

But in order to help Sirius, Harry still had the patience to pick up one of the books and read it.

Ivan glanced at the thickness of the books on the table and couldn't help but hold a moment of silence for Harry, thinking that he might have been quite busy these days.

Just as Ivan was sighing with emotion, he turned around and saw Hermione staring directly at him.

"What's wrong? Hermione!" Ivan asked strangely.

"If I remember correctly, Ivan, you caught Peter Pettigrew, and you should be a very important witness!" Hermione thrust the book about the revision of the laws of the British wizarding world into Ivan's hand, and soon He spoke with certainty.

"Wait a minute so I don't have to read it, right?" The corners of Ivan's mouth kept twitching. He really didn't expect Hermione to point the finger at him.

He has been busy with too many things recently, and he is really not in the mood to learn the laws and regulations of the magic world, and Ivan doesn't think he will be stumped by the other party's defender.

"Then do you know the operation process of the Inquisition, and do you know exactly how many crimes Peter committed?" Hermione asked one by one.

Ivan opened his mouth to answer, but he had no understanding of the Western sentencing process, let alone the wizarding world.

"Okay, I'll just read it!" Ivan finally sighed and resignedly opened the book in his hand and started reading.

He suddenly remembered that without Dumbledore, Sirius might have to find his own defender. It never hurt to know more about the laws.

Hermione sat aside, thoughtfully explaining to Ivan the legal terms related to this case, and pointed out the details that needed attention.

It was obvious that the little witch had taken the time to read the entire book before.

Seeing that Hermione was so serious, Ivan changed his perfunctory attitude before, cheered up and started studying hard.

After getting to know Ivan, I discovered that the existing trial process of the Ministry of Magic is quite similar to that of Muggles, but the process is much simpler in comparison.

But this is normal. There are only so many people in the entire British magical world, so there is no need to make so many twists and turns.

During the few days when he was illegally upholding the laws of the wizarding world, Ivan also did not forget to pay attention to Peter's status, and would take the time to transform into an owl and visit secretly once a day.

Peter, who was imprisoned in the observatory, looked very pitiful. He seemed to have been tortured by the dementors. He looked a little dull and stupid, and from time to time a few whispers came out of his mouth that the Dark Lord would eventually return.

The investigators from the Ministry of Magic also completely confirmed that there was indeed a problem with Peter's memory, and that this appearance was not an act.

Ivan looked at Peter like this, and then thought about the other person's behavior of betraying his friend. He didn't know if this was retribution.

After sighing for a while, Ivan quickly returned to the castle and walked towards the principal's office without staying here longer.

If he had calculated the time correctly, today would be the time for those from the Knights of Merlin to reply to his letter, but he just didn't know if the other party would agree to his application.

"Pile of cockroaches!"

Ivan skillfully recited the password to enter the principal's office, and the heavy guardian statue slowly rotated to clear the entrance passage.

Ivan stepped into it as usual, and then stopped with a look on his face.

There were some trivial items placed on the central office, but what he didn't expect was that Dumbledore, who had disappeared for a long time, was sitting on a chair, looking through the letters in his hand.

Fox, the phoenix with golden-red feathers, lingered affectionately on his shoulder, and from time to time it sang like a song, as if it was telling something.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Ivan asked tentatively. His experiences in the past few days made him unsure whether the person in front of him was really the old professor.

But I think it must be true, because Fox has never been so affectionate to him.

"It's me, Hals!" Dumbledore stopped, turned to look at him, and nodded.
