Chapter 51: arrest
Iger and Dumbledore's words were vague, but no one was in the mood to listen to them. Professor McGonagall was sitting in a chair with red eyes and sniffing. Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick whispered to Professor McGonagall, while Snape looked gloomily at Peter Pettigrew in the cage.
A few minutes later, the door of the principal's room opened, and Fudge walked in hurriedly with Kingsley and Delix, not looking very good.
Sure enough, as Dumbledore said, the Dementors couldn't even enter the door of Hogwarts, and Iger didn't know how Dumbledore did it.
"Dumbledore, what's going on?" Fudge's face was very ugly. The news that Evra passed on made Fudge a little blind. Why did the original hero suddenly become a traitor, and the Ministry of Magic let an innocent man The man spent twelve years in Azkaban.
"Iger, Veritaserum..." Dumbledore motioned for Iger to pour a few more drops of Veritas on Peter Pettigrew.
With a wave of Iger's wand, the iron cage beside Peter opened a hole. Iger roughly squeezed Peter Pettigrew's mouth and poured him a whole bottle of Veritaserum, and then two slaps woke Peter Pettigrew up.
In the end, under Kingsley's pressure, Peter Pettigrew explained everything that happened twelve years ago, from his surrender to Voldemort, to the casting of the Faithful Charm, and finally to Sirius to arrest him. , how he blew up the street and put the blame on Sirius.
Fudge's face was very ugly. He gave Kingsley a wink, and Kingsley stepped forward to check with his wand.
"No sign of Imperius," Kingsley whispered beside Fudge.
Fudge looked a little annoyed, nodded helplessly, then turned to look at Dumbledore: "So, is this guy the real betrayal?"
"I hope that the child can be released as soon as possible, Fudge." Dumbledore looked at Fudge seriously and said.
Fudge nodded: "However, I hope this..."
"This matter must be made known to the public, Mr. Minister." Iger waved his hand, and the iron cage next to Peter Pettigrew slowly returned to its original state: "We can't let a heroic figure sacrifice twelve years in vain. "
Fudge looked at Iger, who had a soft tone, in surprise, and Iger watched Fudge's mouth slightly curled up: "After all, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have spent sleepless nights to find the truth and caught the real murderer, we can't let the Ministry of Magic's merit The minister is sweating in vain, and I think the public will be happy to see the image of the Minister of Magic who dares to face the mistakes of his men."
Fudge looked at Iger blankly, his face gradually softened, and then looked at Iger and smiled: "You are right..."
"It happens that I and Rita Skeeter are still acquainted. I will tell her the truth today." Iger smiled: "I remember that she still has a lot of readers."
"Your name is Egg Morriss, right?" Fudge looked very good: "You are very good..."
Saying that, Fudge patted Iger on the shoulder, looked at him and laughed, then turned his head to look at Delix who was beside him: "Take that guy away, Kingsley, you hurry up to Azkaban and inform them Sirius is acquitted, immediately!"
"Then let's go first." Fudge looked at Dumbledore and nodded.
Dumbledore smiled kindly. Looking at the closed door, Dumbledore glanced at Iger in surprise: "Your head turns quickly, and you have a good grasp of his weaknesses."
"He's at that level..." Iger pouted.
"You're right..." Dumbledore nodded, then looked at Professor Sprout: "Pomona, please send Minerva back first, it seems that she needs to calm down."
Iger didn't stay too long in the principal's room, he just walked along the corridor back to the common room.
When Iger went to the common room, the party of the night had just ended.
"Iger!" Ron's voice sounded from behind the sofa. Iger turned to look, Ron's face was a little dirty, and he didn't know what he was looking for.
"Have you seen Scabbers?" Ron asked with a sullen face, "It's strange, it's obviously lying on my bed every night..."
"Uh..." Iger blinked: "It may be coming to Azkaban..."
Ron: "???"
That night, in Iger's bedroom, Iger told Harry and Ron what had just happened again.
Ron looked incredulous: "Banban? Animagus? It's impossible here, he lives in my house..."
"It's been twelve years, right?" Iger looked at Ron: "How can a normal vole live so long?"
"Iger, what you just said... That guy leaked the secret to Voldemort, he was the real betrayal of my parents, wasn't he?" Harry looked a little dazed.
"It's like this. Although I didn't let you kill him with your own hands, I don't think it's important. You will soon have something more gratifying." Iger nodded and smiled lightly.
"What's the matter?" Harry was a little puzzled.
"That Sirius Black." Iger looked at Harry: "He's your godfather."
When Harry heard Iger's words, he immediately stopped thinking about the **** mouse, and was filled with Iger's words. It seemed that he was going to lose sleep again tonight.
"But how did you find out that he is Animagus?" Ron looked at Iger suspiciously.
Iger spread his hands: "Because I am..."
I have to say, this is indeed the best reason to look at the moment...
Saying that, Iger turned and turned into a black kitten. Ron and Harry looked at Iger in surprise.
"...You must have eaten Scabbers, right?" Ron's face was bitter, but Harry on the side was surprised.
"How is that possible?" Iger changed again and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Okay, go back to sleep quickly, so that you don't have any mice, I will make it up to you in a few days on Halloween."
Ron was immediately excited when he heard the words. Everyone knew that the gifts Iger gave every holiday were very expensive, which made Ron a little excited. Harry and Ron didn't sleep well all night. One is thinking about the godfather, the other is thinking about gifts...
Early the next morning, the news in the Daily Prophet quickly aroused heated discussions among people. Sirius, who had been imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, turned out to be innocent. The real murderer was Peter Pettigrew?
Under Iger's instruction, Rita praised Fudge's criticism of the original Ministry of Magic's mistakes, and praised Fudge's ability to correctly face the mistakes made by his subordinates. And to avoid talking about it, at the same time, Rita also preached that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic had worked diligently to capture Peter Pettigrew.
According to Elsa's letter, it is said that Mad-Eye Moody, who had just retired, was furious. He thought that the Ministry of Magic had done nothing and should report on facts.
Iger laughed at Elsa's teasing letter, and then looked around strangely at the students who were whispering with their eyes flickering.
"Good morning, boss" Fred and George walked over cheerfully, because they earned 70 points, the two of them are now walking floating.
"There are rumors these two days that you are the heir of Slytherin, because it is said that you are a Parseltongue." George smiled and sat beside Iger.
"Then you didn't tell them, not only can I talk to snakes, but I can also talk to birds?" Saying that, Iger cheerfully teased Lack on the long table, and a series of cooing voices sounded in his mouth: "Yes huh, Lack?"
"Goo" Lack stretched out his small paws and scratched the tabletop, and tilted his head in agreement with some, why is his head tilted? Because owls are not good at nodding...
"Cool..." Fred looked at Iger in amazement: "What kind of ability is this?"
"Learning ability." Iger's face is reserved, but his heart is extremely swollen: "I learned Parseltongue after reading a serpent text that applied magic, it's not natural."
"Very good, let's spread the news!" The two looked at each other and ran away in a hurry.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, the students' topic of whether Iger was a descendant of Slytherin suddenly disappeared, and there were even many students who wanted to learn those strange languages with Iger, but Iger refused, because he himself It is also a strange learning...
