The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Chapter 30 The Follow-up of Peter Pettigrew

what?

Redemption, despair, soul, I clearly know every word, but when combined, I seem to be illiterate.

Loren's doubts were not answered. After explaining something, Dumbledore and Nico exchanged pleasantries and left with Loren.

"Principal, I have some questions."

The two walked on the wet street again, Loren just followed Dumbledore blankly, his thoughts were confused.

"It is every teacher's duty to answer students' questions, isn't it?" Dumbledore seemed to be on an outing, enjoying the weather and environment, and his tone was very pleasant.

"Why did Mr. Nico Flamel dream that the mysterious man said give me the book?"

"Loren, there are still many things in the magical world that are difficult to explain, and prophecies are one of them. Most prophecies are very obscure and have unknown directions, but there are some exceptions."

"You mean, Mr. Flamel actually made a prophecy?" Loren asked doubtfully.

"To be precise, he passively made a prophecy. Nico has the talent for prophecy, but prophecies are always difficult to control."

"You will also learn prophecy-related courses in the future. Professor Trelawney in the divination class is an excellent prophet."

Loren ignored the last sentence and continued to ask: "Why is it that he is clearly helping me, but he seems to be deliberately alienating me."

Dumbledore touched Loren's head: "This is not your problem, Loren. People involved in the prophecy should stay away or ignore the content of the prophecy, otherwise it will bring unimaginable consequences."

Dumbledore thought of some past events, and sometimes the prophecy itself contributed to the outcome of the prophecy.

"I don't know what to do, Principal Dumbledore." Loren was still confused.

There were gradually more puddles ahead, and Dumbledore took Loren's hand: "Study with peace of mind and do your homework, that's about it."

Loren had a look on his face as if he didn't think he could lie to me because I was a child, and grinned at Dumbledore: "Ouch~"

He then asked, "What is the redemption of despairing souls."

Dumbledore was very patient and always spoke calmly: "Loren, you have to know that being older does not mean knowing everything. However, when the time comes, I can give you some advice."

"You can just say that you don't know either." Loren changed the subject. "Has the matter of Peter Pettigrew come to an end?"

Dumbledore did not hide anything and began to talk about the progress of the case.

Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge originally believed that the culprit was Sirius. As for Peter hiding in the Weasley family, it was another case.

But with the help of Moody, an old friend in Dumbledore's mouth, Pettigrew admitted that he had surrendered to the Dark Lord ten years ago, blew up the streets, and took the opportunity to fake his death.

In fact, the matter was much more complicated than what Dumbledore told. Pettigrew originally insisted that he was hiding from the Death Eaters at the Weasleys' house. He believed that the remnants of the Dark Lord were still active and wanted to kill him. .

Moody saw Pettigrew's guilty conscience and flaws, and interrogated Pettigrew alone all afternoon, in an empty room at the deepest part of the Ministry of Magic.

According to the Auror on duty, Pettigrew was quibbling loudly when he first entered, but his quibbles soon turned into wails. Within five minutes, Pettigrew began to beg for mercy, but he didn't hear Moody ask any questions. There was only wailing in the room, which lasted for several hours.

Finally, when a new Auror came in to ask Moody to have dinner, Pettigrew, with snot and tears in his eyes, begged to let the lunatic stay away from him, and quickly revealed everything that happened that year.

Moody left the rest to others, muttering as he exited the room: "I thought he was a tough guy, bah, cowardly scum."

The strange thing is that Pettigrew didn't have any scars on his body afterwards, and the Ministry of Magic didn't detect what magic Moody had used. The result of the flashback spell was that Moody had used several fluorescent spells a day ago.

The Aurors immediately interrogated another person involved in the old case, Sirius.

Sirius was very uncooperative at first. He didn't say a word during the whole process, his eyes were as hollow as a dead person.

Some Aurors thought that the Soul Eater had sucked him stupid, but after learning that Pettigrew had been arrested, Sirius suddenly became excited, as if he had been reborn, and quickly explained the case, his confession, and Pettigrew's arrest. Basically the same for dwarf stars.

Fudge was convinced that this was an unjust case left by the previous minister. Helping find the real culprit and rehabilitate Sirius would help improve his reputation, and maybe the Black family would donate a large sum of galleons to the ministry.

However, Dumbledore didn't tell Loren this. He just sighed: "There was a period of chaos after the war, and I was a little negligent regarding Sirius." There was guilt in his tone.

At that time, he was busy dealing with various matters, appeasing the families of the victims, punishing the Death Eaters, and negotiating with some pure-blood families to ask them to contribute funds to compensate the victims and rebuild after the war.

Sirius was unjustly imprisoned, largely because of his own doing. He smiled like a pervert at the scene of the crime, did not defend himself after being arrested, and ended up going directly to jail.

"The final result is that there will be a public trial next Wednesday to announce Pettigrew's punishment. Sirius should be able to regain his freedom by then."

Loren thought the result was very good, and Harry would be very happy, except that Ron's chestnut wand should be missing.

After talking all the way, Dumbledore finally brought Loren to a candy store.

At first Loren thought this might be some kind of secret liaison office of the Ministry of Magic, just when Loren was planning to see what kind of ritual Dumbledore would use to enter a secret base.

Dumbledore skillfully took out the pound and handed it to the clerk: "Still the same, put a little of everything on it, and put some more hazelnut chocolate."

The clerk was packing candies while chatting with Dumbledore, looking very familiar with him.

Loren's jaw dropped to the floor. You took me so far just to buy candy!

If you are over a hundred years old, why should you be so naive?

Dumbledore took the packed candy bag and saw Loren's mouth opened in surprise. He picked up a piece of mint candy and put it into Loren's mouth: "Muggle candies also have a different flavor. I love them the most. Hazelnut chocolate here.”

The refreshing and cool aroma suddenly spread around the tongue, and the saliva was suddenly seduced and secreted crazily. Loren quickly closed his mouth and sipped the sweetness of the candy.

Finally, the two of them came to a deserted alley. Dumbledore was holding a candy bag in one hand and holding Loren in the other. He muttered a spell that Loren had never heard before, and the two of them instantly returned to Hogwarts Castle. Inside, in the principal's office.

In the office, Loren saw a bird with fiery red feathers - Fawkes the Phoenix.

Although there is a golden feather, the overall look is still ugly, Loren thought secretly.

Fawkes, who was parked on Dumbledore's desk, suddenly shouted "chirp!" to Loren. The sound was not like any other bird that Loren knew, but Loren somehow understood that it was scolding him.

"Goodbye, principal!" Loren quickly ran away. If he didn't leave, he would be beaten by a bird.

Dumbledore looked at Loren running out, smiled and picked up a piece of candy and fed it to Fox: "Well, he is still just a child."

He smoothed the phoenix's feathers with his hands and wiped the frosting powder on his hands.

Now Fawkes shouted at Dumbledore too.
