Chapter 342
Chapter 342 Acquittal, Dumbledore’s Remorse!!
As soon as Fudge heard the news, the expression of happiness on his face was suddenly embarrassed, and his face was covered with clouds, just about to get angry.
But seeing the little dwarf being tied up, he began to cloud and clear again, squeezed out a smile and said in an indifferent tone: “Run away, run away, he is innocent anyway, just as we caught the real traitor!” Tomorrow will be judged to the public and let the public know the determination of the Ministry of Magic! We will not spare any bad person, but we will not wrongfully accuse a good person! ”
“Aurors, from now on give up the hunt for Sirius Black, we’ve captured the real traitor Pettigrew!” Keep an eye on him and don’t let him run away!” ”
Fudge stood up on his stomach, pointed to the little dwarf, and happily announced to the Aurors.
“Yes, Minister!”
The next Aurors did not understand the situation at all, but still replied with a confused face.
In order to avoid accidents, Little Dwarf is then taken away by the Aurors and imprisoned on the highest tower of the castle, guarded by Dementors and a dozen Aurors, ready to wait until early tomorrow morning to escort them to the Ministry of Magic for trial with the strikers who have come to meet them.
As for Fudge, he rushed back to the Ministry of Magic, and he was ready to write a letter to the members of Wiesengamo overnight, and come to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow to participate in the trial.
Peter and his party followed pettigrew as they escorted him into the makeshift prison, and everyone was relieved to see that Pettigrew was being closely watched, and then they left and returned to their respective offices.
Peter was retained by Dumbledore and followed him down the stairs slowly.
“First of all, Peter, I have to thank you! If it weren’t for your insistence, I’m afraid Pettigrew would still be at large, while Sirius would still be saddled with grievances and wanted by the Ministry of Magic! ”
Dumbledore said sincerely to Peter.
Then he looked into the hazy distance illuminated by the moonlight, sighed and said, “When I first heard about Sirius’s betrayal, I was also a little suspicious, I once went to Azkaban to ask him, but he was just silent!”
I thought he was acquiescing, but apparently I didn’t trust him enough!
Sirius and James are as close as you and your buddies, even closer, they are like brothers, they share common interests, they make trouble together, and there are no secrets between them! Even when fighting against the Death Eaters, you can rest assured to give each other’s backs to each other.
But it wasn’t until Lily and James were born that Sirius became the target of public criticism, because many people knew that he was Lily and James’s secretion! Think he betrayed his friends and turned to Voldemort!
Even I thought so! Forgive me for the prejudice of an old man, Sirius’s family was almost always a loyal follower of Voldemort, and although Sirius severed ties with his family and was removed from the family for this reason, I believed it when he was considered a traitor and he did not refute it. ”
Dumbledore turned to look at Peter and said with a wry smile, “Maybe you should have heard of the Order of the Phoenix, which I deliberately formed to fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters, of which Sirius was a member.” ”
There have been many times when the Order of the Phoenix’s covert operations have been known in advance by the Death Eaters, and I suspect that there are traitors inside, but my suspicious eyes are on Sirius, who is inextricably linked to the Death Eater family, but forgets that no one pays attention to the little dwarf!
Perhaps for this reason, when he was imprisoned in Azkaban, he still did not tell me the truth, because he thought I would not believe his words Peter looked at Dumbledore in front of him and comforted: “Headmaster, I believe sirius does not blame you, and the reason why he did not refute after his arrest should be only because of self-blame.” It was his proposal that made Pettigrew a secretive and eventually killed the Potters, and I think I would feel guilty about it if I were him. ”
“Oh, Peter, you’re always able to see through people’s hearts, not at all like a kid of this age!”
Dumbledore heard Peter’s words and praised them.

The two walked and talked until they met Harry and Hermione running in the hallway.
Harry and Hermione saw Dumbledore and said with a happy face, “Headmaster, we have succeeded in saving two innocent lives according to your instructions!” ”
“Instructions? Sorry, did I say that? Please forgive me for an old man’s poor memory, as if he didn’t remember such a thing! ”
Dumbledore said with a smile and a confused look.
“By the way, there’s no good news for you yet, Peter has captured Pettigrew, proving Sirius’s innocence, and the Ministry of Magic has announced that it will stop wanting Sirius!” If he can hear the news, I hope he can take a good rest and not be afraid! ”
Dumbledore winked at the two men.
“What? Peter caught the little dwarf! When did this happen? ”
The two opened their mouths wide in shock and turned their heads to look at Peter on the side.
“He is now locked up in the tallest tower, very close to where Sirius was before.”
Peter pointed to the tower under the moonlight in the distance, then looked at the two with a smile, and said, “But don’t be curious to see it this time, there are a lot of Aurors and Dementors guarding it now, if you don’t allow it, you will be attacked!” ”
Then looked at the hourglass necklace hanging on Hermione’s chest, smiled and pointed out: “Hermione, you don’t really just use it to class, that will be very tired, you can arrange a schedule, five extra hours a day, you can use a part to rest, the combination of work and leisure is the best way to learn!” ”
Hermione found that the time-turner was not put away, instinctively grabbed it nervously, and then asked in surprise, “Peter, do you know this is a time-turner?” ”
“Of course, you know that I, like you, took twelve courses.”
Peter said with a smile.
Then Peter bid farewell to Dumbledore, “Headmaster, I’ll go back first, and you’ll talk to Harry about them.” ”
Dumbledore smiled kindly and nodded, then watched Peter leave.
Looking at Peter’s departing figure, Hermione said to Harry, “I always think Peter knows a lot of things! Obviously, the little dwarf had already run, but he turned around and he caught it! ”
Harry nodded his head in agreement.
“Haha, Peter is always able to surprise us a lot, but I think you will have a lot of opportunities to get to know him in the future!”
Dumbledore smiled and said, “Now let’s go to the infirmary to see Ron and Lupin, your Professor Lupin has been grabbed by an eagle-headed horse with wings, but it will be lying for a while!” ”
On Peter’s side, he did not return to the dormitory, as he had said before, but went into hiding, and then turned to the tower where the pettigrew was being held.
