Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 795: Suffocated

At this moment, not only was Fudge's head confused, but everyone else was in disbelief as well.

Is Peter Pettigrew alive?

How is this possible!

Didn't Peter die twelve years ago?

How could it possibly be alive.

Everyone stared at the cage in Dumbledore's hands. If the rat in the cage was Pettigrew Peter, then Sirius Black was innocent from the start?

What's this all about!

"No, that's impossible, Peter Pettigrew was dead and I was there...how could he be alive!" Fudge was so emotional that once it was confirmed that Peter Pettigrew was alive, the Ministry of Magic would Totally a laughing stock.

See what the Ministry of Magic has been up to for the past year?

The hunt for Sirius Black.

Once Pettigrew Peter is still alive, it basically means that Blake is innocent, and the truth will always be the truth, even with the so-called double investigation.

Several Aurors around were also taken aback by Fudge's words, their gazes involuntarily fell on the metal cage in Dumbledore's hands, and then secretly turned to Albert, who was standing beside him.

Scrimgeour had long since realized that the guy named Albert Anderson stomped the Ministry of Magic in the face this evening.

The most frustrating thing for them is that Fudge actually took the initiative to put his face close to him. After being swollen by the other side, they even thanked each other for helping the Ministry of Magic catch Blake, thanking him for helping the Ministry of Magic to unravel The truth of the year.

However, it really doesn't matter to the Ministry of Magic who actually betrayed the Potters and they have no intention of overturning the case, because if Sirius Black was innocent, Scrimgeour could even guess that the Ministry of Magic would be How much pressure would they say they would rather use Blake's death to bury the truth, it really doesn't matter if Blake is innocent or not.

Dumbledore got the mouse out of the metal cage, placed it on the grass in front of him, and tapped the mouse with his wand, and a blue-white light instantly enveloped Scabber's body.

The next moment, Banban's body actually floated up slowly, suspended in mid-air, and the small body twisted frantically, as if something was about to come out of its body.

Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief, hiding behind Albert, staring uneasily at the mouse suspended in mid-air.

After a dazzling flash, a head suddenly appeared on the ground, limbs stretched out, and a middle-aged wizard fell on the spot where Banban was just now.

Peter Pettigrew appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

Not only Fudge, but even the two Aurors behind Fudge stared at the middle-aged wizard who suddenly appeared.

"Peter Pettigrew is still alive." Fudge stared blankly at the middle-aged wizard on the ground, he knew it was over.

Those four Aurors are nothing but rubbish. Fudge asked them to take the Dementors to investigate the situation first, just to give them time to deal with it, and they screwed it up and sent the Ministry of Magic became a joke.

"It appears that Mr. Anderson did not lie." Dumbledore said to Fudge with a smile, looking at the unconscious Peter.

"No, the person who found Pettigrew Peter alive was Professor Lupin." Albert shook his head and corrected.

"Anyway, Pettigrew Peter is still alive. I'm afraid the incident will have to be re-investigated back then. I remember that Black was thrown into Azkaban prison without trial." Dumbledore didn't care about his expression. The ugly Fudge said to himself: "Blake is probably wrong. He should not have colluded with Voldemort."

"Don't mention that name," growled Fudge.

"It's him, this **** killed James and Lily." Hagrid was shaking all over, as if he wanted to rush to beat Peter and avenge the Potters.

"Calm down Hagrid, as long as the news that Peter is still alive is revealed, his fate will definitely be worse than you think." Albert comforted.

Everyone turned to look at Albert, as if waiting for him to continue.

"I think Peter has been hiding in the Weasleys' house disguised as a mouse for twelve years, not to avoid Black's pursuit, but to hide from the supporters of You-Know-Who." Albert glanced unconsciously. Peter woke up and said softly: "The mysterious man went to Potter's house according to Peter's intelligence, but he lost his way there. Most of his supporters entered Azkaban, but there were still many who escaped and went into hiding. Waiting for the moment, if they knew Peter Pettigrew was alive, you say what they would do."

"That group of guys will never let Peter go easily." Hagrid's mood suddenly improved a lot, because Albert had already described the tragic end Peter was about to face, but he didn't sympathize with the bastard.

"Wake him up, I think Professor Snape must have the Veritaserum, give Peter some and you'll know the truth."

"Let's go back to the castle first." Dumbledore said, "Harry and the others need to be taken care of, Severus, take your potent Veritaserum to the Headmaster's office. Mr. Anderson, you go too. , as for everyone else, go back to rest!"

Snape's expression is ugly, he realizes that Blake has escaped, but he can't change the result, he can only watch Blake escape with his help, which is worse than killing him He suffers.

"It's illegal to use Veritaserum..." Fudge said, blushing.

"I think everyone can't wait to know the truth," Dumbledore said.

"It's best to tie up Professor Lupin. I'm not sure if the Restoration Charm will restore Professor Lupin's humanity." Albert waved his wand and conjured a rope to bind Professor Lupin firmly. Hold on, even gag your mouth to prevent him from biting.

Then, Albert summoned a stretcher and asked Hagrid to put a few people on it.

The two Aurors beside Fudge looked at Albert again, and that wasn't the level of magic a fifth-year student should have.

Several people returned to the castle like this. Harry, Ron and Lupin were taken to the school hospital by George, and as for Black and Peter, they were carried into the principal's office by Hagrid. When they appeared, the portraits on the walls all closed their eyes and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Phineas couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Blake being carried into the principal's office by Hagrid, but he soon saw Peter who was also being carried in, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and moved towards the headmaster who finally walked in. Albert in the office cast a complicated look.

Phineas never imagined that Albert would actually be able to catch Peter and clear Blake.

But the other party did.

There was a knock on the door soon after, and Snape held a medicine bottle in his hand and handed it to Dumbledore, exhorting, "Three drops are enough."

Dumbledore opened Peter's mouth, poured three drops of Veritaserum, then pointed his wand at Peter's chest and said, "Get back to life!"

Peter Pettigrew's eyelids trembled slightly, but he didn't open his eyes immediately.

It doesn't work?

Dumbledore was a little surprised, looking sideways at Albert.

"Feed this to him and he'll wake up." Albert took a bottle of medicine from his pocket, poured a pill from it and handed it to Dumbledore.

"What is this?" Dumbledore asked, looking at the pill in his hand.

"My own specially made powerful restorative agent can directly wake up a comatose wizard and refresh people's spirits. There is no harm, and normal people can eat it. After eating it, you will feel energetic, refreshed and refreshed. , as long as you don't eat too much at one time, there will be no side effects."

"What happens if I eat too much?" Snape asked suddenly.

“You’ll have nowhere to vent your energy, and you’ll be very tired afterwards,” explains Albert.

Dumbledore shoved the pill into Peter's mouth, poured some water into his mouth, pointed his wand to his throat, and said softly, "Cough."

After swallowing the potion, Peter woke up quickly, but his eyes were blank and his cheeks were slack, as if he had been hypnotized.

"Can you hear me?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"You can hear it," Peter whispered.

"I would like you to tell us whether the death of the James family involved you," Dumbledore said calmly.

"I wanted the Dark Lord to leak," Peter said.

"Looks like the truth has come out," Dumbledore said happily, but Fudge, the Minister of Magic, had an ugly face next to him.

"You also killed the Muggles in that street?" Albert continued. He didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

"Yes. I needed to hang out to avoid vengeance from the Dark Lord's supporters, and when Blake blocked me was the best chance," Peter said.

"What's your purpose in hiding in the Weasleys' house disguised as a mouse."

"Inquire about news."

"What is the purpose of approaching Harry."

"I'm waiting for the moment. If the Dark Lord does make a comeback, I'll hand over the last of the Potters to him, and as long as Harry is handed over to them, no one will dare to say I've ever betrayed the Dark Lord." As soon as Peter finished speaking, he was punched in the face, and his whole body hit the ground.

"How dare you, James and Lily are your good friends, how dare you treat their son like this." Hagrid growled angrily. If it wasn't for the Auror, he would have rushed up and killed Peter. .

"They never thought of me as a real friend," Peter said. "I'm just a sidekick, coming and going!"

"Why betray them?" Albert continued to ask Hagrid to stop Hagrid's atrocities.

"The Dark Lord threatened me with my mother, I had no choice," Peter said. "I didn't want to join the Order of the Phoenix, I said I still have a mother..."

"Enough, take him away, I think Azkaban prison would be the best place for him." Fudge stared at Albert through gritted teeth, if he hadn't realized he was being tricked by now Well, then he really is a fool.

Fudge's pretty sure this guy, Anderson, knew from the beginning that Peter Pettigrew was alive. What happened at the moment was all arranged by him, and he actually fell into the other's trap like this, acting like a puppet according to the other's wishes, and he had already promised to give him Black's bounty.

As of now, Black's bounty is still in effect, and the bounty has been fulfilled, too late for the Ministry of Magic to regret it.

Fudge didn't dare to do that either, and if he did, God knows what would happen.

"That's it for Blake."

Fudge absently ran his fingers through his hair, walked to the fireplace and said to Dumbledore, "Black may be summoned by the Ministry of Magic at any time to cooperate with further investigations."

After speaking, the Aurors took Pettigrew Peter into the rising green flames and disappeared directly into the headmaster's office.

"Mr Anderson, you have saved an innocent life," said Dumbledore gently.

"You're welcome, it's just a transaction, it's money to do things, that's all." Albert looked up at Phineas' portrait and said, "When Black wakes up, remember to ask him to transfer the five thousand Galleons. to my vault at Gringotts."

"What's up with the five thousand Galleons?" Hagrid stared at Albert in a stunned manner.

"Mr Phineas paid five thousand Galleons to ask me to catch Pettigrew Peter and clear his grievances for Black," Albert explained.

"I'll convince him." Phineas looked very complicated.

"No one can rely on my Gallen." Albert said calmly.

"Since when did you begin to doubt Peter's identity?" Dumbledore asked curiously, as if he had not heard the conversation between Albert and Phineas.

"A long time ago, I suspected that rat named Scabbers. It turned out to be Percy's pet. It is said that he lived for a long time and then became Ron's pet. A rat is more than five or six years old. Very abnormal. Later, I accidentally saw Peter Pettigrew's name on the map through a mantra." Albert shrugged and continued, "And then, Hermione's cat chased Ron's Scabbers. Let it go, I'm starting to wonder if he's Peter Pettigrew. Well, don't look at me like that, if it wasn't for the suspicion that Peter was still alive, I'd have taken Blake and exchanged it for Galleon."

"However, you've offended the Ministry of Magic, and I bet they won't give you Black's bounty," Phineas reminded gloatingly. You are torn to shreds."

"It doesn't matter, Fudge will be kicked out soon." Albert said indifferently: "The other is a short-lived ghost who will die in a few years."

"As for the bounty, it wasn't Fudge that paid for it, the Ministry of Magic will have to pay it back sooner or later." Albert said calmly, "No one can rely on my Galleon, not even the Ministry of Magic. No. By the way, Hagrid, take Black to the school hospital first, and give him this by the way."

After Hagrid carried Black to the school hospital, Albert said to Dumbledore, "Can you help me deliver this letter to Fudge."

"What about the bounty?" Dumbledore asked, raising his eyebrows slightly

"No." Albert smiled, "A fair deal, he won't suffer."

"What's the matter with stepping down?" Dumbledore asked, taking the letter from Albert.

"I don't know, Fudge will be ousted by everyone in a few years. His replacement is Scrimgeour. However, that guy was a short-lived ghost and died soon after taking over." Albert thought for a while He added, "If Scrimgeour wants to know how he died, he can come to me. For a thousand Galleons, I can make a prophecy for him."

"You will definitely become an excellent businessman." Dumbledore sighed.

"No, this is just a transaction, I help the other party predict, and he pays Galleon." Albert shrugged, "It's like I told you the result of the prediction, and you helped me deliver a letter."

"That makes perfect sense." Dumbledore nodded and walked towards the fireplace, disappearing into the roaring flames.

Ministry of Magic, Office of the Minister.

Fudge looked at Dumbledore who walked into his office, suppressed his anger and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"A letter to you from Mr. Anderson, he said he was going to make a deal with you." Dumbledore placed Albert's letter in front of Fudge.

"Letter?"

The expression on Fudge's face was even more ugly when he heard Dumbledore mention Albert~IndoMTL.com~, but he opened the letter and quickly glanced at the contents, his expression was a little dull, he had just received from Hogg Watts came back, and Fudge was sure the guy didn't have time to write the letter.

In other words, the letter was written from the beginning, and the other party had long expected that the Ministry of Magic was not planning to give 10,000 Galleons at all.

"He, did I mean that guy is really a prophet?" Fudge looked gloomily at the stationery that began to burn and eventually turned into a pile of ashes.

"Mr Anderson was said to be able to peer into the future through a crystal ball, so he easily caught Blake," Dumbledore said.

"I agree."

Fudge slumped back in his armchair as if he had lost all strength as he squeezed the words out of his mouth. After reading the letter, Fudge only felt like a fool, being played around like a monkey by the other party, but Fudge knew that he had no choice and could not refuse Albert's proposal.

It's just the suffocation in his heart that makes him want to hit people.
