The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 245 The Truth
At this time, the gray-haired, bald short man, with a swollen face, defended loudly in his sharp mouse voice.

"Sirius, you met that man. You met him. I couldn't resist at all. I was caught by him. He tortured me and forced me."

"Go away, you disgusting bedbug!" Sirius in the cage stood up straight away, and punched the metal cage with his fist, even though his palm was stained red with blood.But it was completely unable to weaken the flame in his heart.

"Snape! We're colleagues, we."

Before Peter finished speaking, Snape cursed his voice to silence him.

"Everyone, what is the truth about the past tragedies, why don't we just ask ourselves directly."

The calm smile on Dumbledore's face gradually faded, perhaps because he was too disappointed to see the student he had taken care of.

He has been the headmaster of Hogwarts for more than 30 years. There are not many little wizards he values, but Peter Pettigrew, who was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, is definitely one of them. The attention is not that high, but this does not prevent me from feeling a little guilty about today's Pettigrew.

His student has become like this, no matter what kind of excuses can change his dereliction of duty as the principal, maybe he took more care of him back then, if he had paid more attention to him back then, maybe Peter would not have gone astray.

"Hey!" Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.

But this also strengthened his determination to reform Hogwarts.

"Oh my God."

"What it is?"

"This is an Animagus?"

Such an impactful scene really frightened many wizards on the trial seat. They looked at that wretched man in astonishment, and they never imagined that such a man could master the profound magic of Animagus.

"Now we only need a little Veritaserum to make the truth clear." Dumbledore said lightly, and then nodded towards Snape behind him.

Soon, Snape took out a small colorless and odorless bottle like a bottle of clear water from his robe.

"Woooo!" Peter, whose voice was silenced, could only make a meaningless sound of fear at this moment.

His eyes were fixed on the small bottle in Snape's hand, and he waved his hands wildly.

The few Aurors behind him quickly waved their wands, constantly strengthening the binding spell on him.

"Hmph!" Snape walked up immediately, pinched Peter's jaw firmly with one hand, and then lifted him up forcefully, as if he was lifting a mouse that had lost its hair.

Afterwards, he dropped a few drops of the potion in his hand into Peter's mouth.

"Okay." Snape said coldly to everyone.

After drinking Veritaserum, Peter's eyes suddenly became dull, and he became delirious.He shook his head and sat slumped on the ground like an empty shell with a lost soul.

After that, many judges of the Wizengamot also began to ask questions one after another.

At first, it was just some simple questions about identity, and gradually he followed Peter to answer everything, and very simply told all the secrets hidden in his heart.

The questions they asked gradually became sharper.

Especially when he asked about betraying the James family, this is completely different from the sophistry of his just crying, he was not caught by Voldemort at all, he was Voldemort who took the initiative to reveal to the most evil dark wizard The address of James' home.

Hearing this, Sirius in the cage almost ran away on the spot. Originally, he thought that this cowardly guy just couldn't bear Voldemort's cruel torture.That's why I told the secret, I didn't expect the truth to be like this!
And the other one who was also furious was Snape. If he could, he really wanted to take out his wand and cast a death curse to make this disgusting guy disappear completely.

As a master of potions, Snape was very aware of the power of Veritaserum, and this potion could not work on everyone.

Only people who didn't expect that they would be used this potion, and those who were vulnerable and vulnerable.and those who are so deficient in magical arts as to be unable to protect themselves.Veritaserum will work.

So Peter Pettigrew obviously knew that he would never be used this potion, and he had been evading judgment from beginning to end.

He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he did it anyway.

With Peter Pettigrew, when he began to fully reveal his ugly soul in front of everyone, everyone was deeply shocked.

They can't understand why there are such people.Such ignorant, idiots.

"It seems that the truth is already clear." Amelia Susan Bones slowly got up, and then looked at her colleagues.

"Hands up who acquit Sirius Black!"

As her steady voice fell, the entire trial platform fell into dead silence.

They stared at Peter with eyes that would have devoured him alive.

Why are you not dead!

Why not die?
Now they have to overturn their previous charges, and what will the price be?
The face of the entire Wizengamot, the entire British Ministry of Magic.What will happen if such news is known to the outside world!
The face of the Ministry of Magic, his own face will never be white again.

The dead silence continued to linger in the courtroom.

"Cough cough!"

Amelia, known for her honesty and fairness, coughed lightly, and then raised her right hand first.

Her brother Edgar Burns was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, fighting alongside Sirius. After Edgar was killed by Death Eaters, Amelia vowed to kill all Voldemort's family members. The lackeys are sent to Azkaban.

No matter who it is, no matter how cunning a criminal is, he cannot escape her trial.

Now the evidence is overwhelming, no matter how much Rufus Scrimgeour conceals it so that it cannot be changed, but fortunately for him, the order to capture Sirius was not issued by him, and he was not the Minister of Magic at that time. Getting out would be a heavy blow to the reputation of the Ministry of Magic, but it was not unacceptable to him.

But the Aurors will not be so lucky. In the next period of time, there will inevitably be a lot of criticism against the Aurors.

But there is no way to save it.
Scrimgeour was keenly aware that the future Sirius would definitely have a huge topic.If he could he would join the Aurors.
"Not guilty!"

Scrimgeour, who had already thought about retreating, immediately raised his right hand, and the wizards next to him also raised their right hands.

The final judgment came into force with unanimous acquittal.
