Chapter 437 Fudge is a good minister
Kyle paused as he stepped out and looked back at Dumbledore.
But Dumbledore just stood there calmly. It wasn't until Harry and the others left that he said, "Don't worry Black, there won't be dementors here, and you don't need to keep your Animag all the time." Si.”
"I'm sorry, principal." Black, who had transformed back, looked like a student who had done something wrong. He just stood there and whispered, "I just haven't figured out how to face you yet."
Looking at his ragged clothes and sunken eyes, Dumbledore felt dazed for a while.
But in the end he said nothing and just waved his hand.
A table immediately appeared in front of Blake, filled with steaks, bread, and baked potatoes.
"I think you need this now...you're welcome, just eat it."
Blake's throat moved, and he reached out and grabbed a piece of bread.
He seemed to be trying hard to maintain his appearance, but whether it was because he was too hungry or because he hadn't eaten normal food for a long time, his speed became faster and faster, and within a few minutes he was devouring it.
Dumbledore didn't pay attention to this. He just added some more bread and pumpkin juice, then walked to Peter in the cage, bent down, and looked at it carefully.
Peter has woken up and is trembling in the cage.
"Another Animagus disguised as a pet." Dumbledore said leisurely: "It seems that we need to conduct a major inspection of students' pets... I am very curious, Kyle, what did you say his purpose is? What."
“Probably because I want to understand the trends in the magical world.” Kyle thought for a while and said, “When you stay in a wizarding family, you can always get news about Tom as soon as possible.”
"I haven't heard this name for a long time. I almost thought you were talking about the owner of the Leaky Cauldron." Dumbledore smiled.
He then continued: "But Peter probably didn't expect that someone would use mandrake leaves to brew pet tonic... To be honest, even when I heard the news, I was surprised by your generosity."
"For friends..." Kyle said, "It's just a little leaf, I can still afford it."
"Don't worry...I will compensate...you!" Blake said vaguely with a bulging mouth: "How much money those tonics...all are on my account."
Blake is very confident.
He has nothing but a lot of gold, not to mention a few mandrake leaves, and he can even use those things as food.
Kyle raised his eyebrows. It would be good to have someone reimburse him, but it's not the right time to talk about this now.
He looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Professor, what are you going to do?"
“Don’t worry, I have to confirm one thing before doing this.”
While speaking, Dumbledore kept looking at Peter. After thinking for a moment, he took out his wand.
As the blue light from the Elder Wand shone on Peter, it visibly grew larger... but returned to its original shape after a moment.
Seeing that Dumbledore was unable to change him back, Peter lay sluggishly in the cage, seemingly in complete despair.
"Oh!" Dumbledore was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He just turned the wand, put the tip of the wand against Peter's head, and raised it lightly...
A ray of silver was brought out by the wand.
Dumbledore quickly walked to a stone basin in the corner and put the memory on his wand into it.
Silver light was flowing in the Pensieve. Dumbledore put his fingers on the Pensieve and squinted slightly.
Not long after, Dumbledore's originally calm face gradually turned ugly.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing. Sirius felt as if there were hundreds of dementors next to him. He unconsciously put down the bone in his hand that he had already chewed clean. asthma.
Fox jumped onto Kyle's shoulder and called out softly.
“Thank you…I’m fine.”
Kyle scratched the feathers on Fox's neck and took out some herbs and fed them to him. Time passed little by little.
About ten minutes, Dumbledore opened his eyes again after reading his memories.
He glanced expressionlessly in the direction of the cage. With just one glance, Peter immediately let out a sharp scream and kept banging his head against the cage, as if he wanted to escape.
Until it knocked itself unconscious, the cage was still intact... This is for sure. In order to prevent it from escaping, Kyle became an iron cage, just covered with a layer of wood.
Dumbledore took a deep breath and said softly: "I've seen it all... including how he informed you and how he framed you... You must have been waiting for this day for a long time..."
Sirius clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaved violently, he rubbed his red eyes, and let out waves of deep sobs...the sound became louder and louder, until he could no longer suppress it, and he began to cry loudly.
But such a loud cry still did not wake up the portraits in the principal's office. They closed their eyes as if they had fallen asleep.
Need to sleep?
Kyle stared at them and soon discovered that one of the portraits quietly opened its eyes. It was Phineas Black, the most unpopular headmaster in history.
After noticing Kyle's gaze, he simply stopped pretending, opened his eyes directly, and shouted loudly.
"I have said before that the Black family will never do such despicable things!"
"Fart!" A bearded wizard didn't give him any face, and immediately said: "You have always regarded Sirius as a family shame, and you also said that you want to remove him!"
"I, I didn't say that!" Phineas said, squinting his neck: "You are slandering me, you are slandering me!"
"Oh, I testify, you did say such a thing." A fat wizard who was not too big on the fun said: "You also said that there will never be a place for him in the Black family..."
“I can also testify…”
“I’ve heard it too, tsk tsk…”
Seeing his dark history being revealed one by one, Phineas shouted angrily, "Nonsense, you are all talking nonsense, I never said it."
However, in the face of so many principals, his sophistry was a bit pale.
“It’s all because of that **** Peter Pettigrew, that despicable, shameless guy…”
In the end, Phineas simply changed the subject, looked at Dumbledore and said: "Albus, you can't just sit idly by and watch this happen. You must find a way to clear Sirius's name! If you don't care, I will make you so noisy every day that you can't work." …”
"Phineas, when did I say I would stand by and watch." Dumbledore smiled again.
Sirius also raised his head, "You are really willing to help me."
"Of course I will help you, that's for sure," said Dumbledore, "but the question is how we do it."
He tapped his fingers on the table, "Although it's a bit bad to say this, the misjudgment of you was after all the Ministry of Magic's negligence at the time. Moreover, Peter has been a recipient of the Order of Sir Merlin, First Class for twelve years, and now he suddenly realizes that he made a mistake. It would bring disgrace to the Ministry of Magic.
It may be difficult for them to accept this. "
The excitement on Sirius's face gradually disappeared.
He previously only thought that sending Peter out would make the truth known, but he never thought that there was a connection with the Ministry of Magic.
Yes, those people value face the most. Do they really care whether they are innocent?
Sirius began to feel uneasy...
“Professor, I think you are all worrying too much.”
At this time, Kyle suddenly laughed and said: "The current Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, is competent and fair. I believe he will be willing to clear Sirius's name."
