This Hogwarts isn't normal.

As Peter Pettigrew's execution day approached, the British wizarding world, which had been bustling with excitement because of the Quidditch World Cup, fell silent.

In the early morning of July 23rd,

A large number of wizards arrived at Godric's Hollow with heavy hearts.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Sirius and Harry appeared in the village through their entourage.

The two said hello to the wizards around them, and then walked towards the Potter Monument in the center of the village.

Peter Pettigrew hasn't been brought here yet. Although he has seen many of his miserable conditions, the wizards here have no sympathy for him.

Death penalty is the lightest punishment for such a shameless betrayer.

When Vincent arrived, the entire village was already densely populated by wizards.

He just went to Diagon Alley and the Ministry of Magic. The battle there was similar to here. Hundreds of wizards gathered in front of the magic projection waiting for the broadcast to start.

The Waynes came with the Granger family, and they happened to see the Malfoy family when they entered the village.

Lucius glanced at the five people with contempt, and then walked with Narcissa and Draco towards the Potter Monument, where the crowd was the densest.

As soon as they entered with Snape, the Weasleys arrived.

Arthur glanced at Lucius's back, "Why does this guy have the nerve to come to this place!"

Molly held his hand and said, "Okay, let's go there quickly."

Basically all the twenty-eight pure-blood families came, except for the Gaunt family and the Carlo family, which were completely labeled as Death Eaters.

The Malfoy family is the number one loser in the British wizarding world. Such a perfect occasion to show their attitude, no matter how shameless they are, they will definitely come.

At 9:20, Dumbledore and Aberforth came from the cemetery to the monument.

Neither of them got too close, they stood quietly on the side and waited.

Vincent, who squeezed to the front, said hello to Sirius and Harry.

Soon, the real culprit who killed the Potters will be executed in public.

However, at this important moment when he was about to be executed, Scrimgeour in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies was staring at an empty bed.

Fragments of chains with powerful confinement magic were scattered on the ground, and the two Aurors responsible for guarding the ward stood dumbly.

The most terrible thing is that Peter Pettigrew is missing from the hospital bed.

Scrimgeour drew his wand with an angry look on his face and pointed it at the two Aurors responsible for guarding.

The Imperius Curse, and it's a particularly powerful Imperius Curse.

He did not hesitate to use the three unforgivable curses to take away Peter Pettigrew, and the identity of the prisoner was already revealed.

However, Scrimgeour still couldn't believe this fact. He walked out of the ward and ordered the Aurors outside to be alert, and then went to the hospital's registration office alone.

To his disappointment, there was no entry or exit record of any suspicious persons in the registry.

Then he went straight to Mrs. Peter's hospital room.

Four months had passed, and the white-haired old woman had already lost consciousness.

Faced with Scrimgeour's question, she didn't even react at all at first.

When her son's name came up, she suddenly grabbed his arm tightly.

"Peter—my son, is he...is he okay?"

Scrimgeour forced a smile, "He seemed to have been taken away by his friends. Do you know who they are?"

Mrs. Peter let go of her hand and looked very angry, "What? Those bad boys!"

She grabbed Scrimgeour's arm tightly again, "They must be trying to corrupt my son again. He is such a simple and kind child."

Scrimgeour narrowed his eyes, "Who are they?"

Mrs. Peter lowered her head and thought, and muttered a few names uncertainly: "Potter... Black... and Lupin, who seems to be quite well-behaved and sensible..."

The foursome were indeed very close friends when they were students, but in reality things have long since changed.

Mrs. Peter's memory seems to be a little confused, and she has forgotten the things that caused her pain.

Scrimgeour patted the back of her hand, trying to look as kind as possible, "It wasn't them. Your son should have been taken away by someone else."

Mrs. Peter looked very nervous, "Not them? My children always stay with them. Who else could it be if they weren't them?"

Scrimgeour was speechless by her question.

If he knew, there would be no need to come here to test it.

"Mrs. Peter, do you know who else your son knows?"

She shook her head with blank eyes, "My child is very well-behaved. He usually stays at home during school holidays. Only the three bad boys often come over to play with him."

Scrimgeour frowned, "If you think carefully about whether there are others, your son's life may be in danger now."

Mrs. Peter grabbed his arm tightly, "It's impossible. My child will not offend anyone. It must be those three bad boys who forced him to do bad things, and then people thought it was him who did it..."

She paused suddenly and covered her forehead with a painful expression.

Scrimgeour quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Did you remember something?"

Mrs. Peter didn't answer, she just held her head and moaned in pain.

"My son...he will not do bad things...he will live well..."

It seems like it brought back some bad memories.

Scrimgeour sighed pitifully, stood up and left the ward.

There was no other suspect, so it could only be a Death Eater.

But all those loyal ones were imprisoned in Azkaban, and the few who escaped trial were not fools, and they must have known that the Ministry of Magic would suspect them first.

Dare to take such a big risk, is it forced by someone?

Scrimgeour in the corridor quickly denied this guess.

Death Eaters are not witches, and those street rats can't have the ability to force the master.

Unless...

Scrimgeour shook his head vigorously.

Compared with Voldemort's return, he would rather believe that someone wants to cause trouble for the Ministry of Magic.

Peter Pettigrew disappeared, and the wizards' rage would turn to the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge would definitely let him take the blame alone in order to calm their anger.

Thinking of such a future, Scrimgeour gritted his teeth, "Who is it, who is it that has such a great hatred for the Ministry of Magic."

Many suspects flashed through his mind one by one, but they didn't have much ability.

All the suspects and capable people are in Azkaban, and the defense has been strengthened many times since Sirius escaped from prison. It is impossible for anyone to escape alive now.

Scrimgeour gave up thinking, and his headache became more and more serious.

No matter how unwilling he was to take the blame, he still had to let the senior officials in the Ministry know about this matter.

He told the Aurors and then used Apparition to return to the Ministry of Magic.

It was already 9:30, and the senior officials were all waiting in the lobby for him to escort Peter Pettigrew to come and set off together.

Seeing that he was the only one, everyone immediately had a bad premonition.

"Everyone, we are in trouble."

Scrimgeour hesitated several times, and finally told the story under Fudge's urging.

"Peter Pettigrew is missing. The other party used the Imperius Curse to control the guarding Auror and took him away quietly."

With a "bang", the heads of the senior officials were all buzzing.

The impact of the incident was so great that even Fudge didn't know what to do.
