Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 184 How to deal with Peter Pettigrew?
"Maybe it's time to interrupt your pleasant conversation."

"Tonight's Hogwarts is destined to have a lot of things to deal with."

A fiery red light flashed, and Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall appeared in front of them together.

Dumbledore was not so serious, but he looked very happy.

On the contrary, Professor McGonagall is a very serious person, and now he is exuding a smell of fear from the bottom of his heart.

After being glanced at by Professor McGonagall, Sirius rubbed his nose, subconsciously trying to find a place to hide.

Even after so many years, the fear of the professor is still deeply rooted in his bones.

You must know that when he first entered school, Professor McGonagall was already the dean of Gryffindor.

Her fair, strict, and meticulous attitude made Blake still fresh in his memory after 12 years of prison life in Azkaban.

"Okay... Long time no see, Professor McGonagall."

There was nothing serious about seeing Black, and Professor McGonagall looked much better.

Then, she looked down and saw Pettigrew Peter who fell on the ground and was tied up dead.

At that time, the face immediately changed.

As soon as the solemn expression relaxed a little, it quickly changed into a strange expression of a professor committing a crime against a student, and then the teacher sent him to Azkaban.

"Peter Pettigrew."

Professor Dumbledore looked at the former Gryffindor student with a complicated expression.

Feel a little sorry, but also feel a little hate.

Perhaps for those students who joined Voldemort's Death Eaters group, Dumbledore felt the same way.

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, how to choose and what to choose is their right to freedom.

What he can do is to prevent so many students from going astray.

"professor……"

Peter Pettigrew wanted to say these two words and struggled again.

But the cloth in his mouth successfully stopped all he wanted to say.

"Give him to me."

"The Ministry of Magic has received the news that they are on their way, and they also know that the original murderer was Peter Pettigrew, not Sirius Black."

"In the near future, they will reverse the case for Black, and..."

Speaking of which, Dumbledore stopped, and he looked at them meaningfully.

"I believe you will see."

He didn't say any more, maybe he wanted to keep a little secret.

"Of course he wants to give it to you, professor."

Harry and Black looked at each other and said solemnly.

If even Dumbledore doesn't trust him, who else in the wizarding world can trust?

Almost without hesitation, Black grabbed Peter Pettigrew and threw it in front of Dumbledore like trash.

"Next, we may need some methods to completely overturn the case you are carrying."

After a general inspection, Dumbledore told Black very seriously.

"Professor, don't you have Veritaserum?"

Harry was a little puzzled, Lupine and Black looked at each other, and there was a strange look in those eyes.

Harry, who didn't know much about the Ministry of Magic, was different from most of the prisoners who were thrown into Azkaban now.

Dumbledore explained very patiently.

"Harry, not just any veritaserum works on some powerful wizards."

"They have many ways to escape Veritaserum."

"For example, when Veritaserum is about to be consumed, use wandless casting to replace it with pumpkin juice."

"Or just telling a part of the truth to mislead us."

Hearing what Professor Dumbledore said, Harry really felt that he had gained knowledge.

Didn't expect to be able to play like this.

As for how he, a low-grade student who doesn't like to study, knows about Veritaserum.

That's thanks to the words that the former Professor Snape used to threaten Mr. Potter from time to time.

Some things will make you want to explore after listening to them for a long time.

Then you will know what is the use of such things that are often hung on your ears.

"It's okay if it's the former, basically no one in front of me has successfully replaced Veritaserum with pumpkin juice."

Dumbledore rarely cracked a joke at this time.

"But if it's the latter."

"Harry, do you really believe what he says?"

Dumbledore looked extremely serious.

But Black next to him interjected with a strange expression.

"Professor, can we knock him out first, and ask him after drinking Veritaserum Potion?"

"That's not a bad idea, Blake."

There was no embarrassing atmosphere, and Dumbledore dismissed Black's words lightly.

"But I think I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why? Professor!"

This time it was Harry.

"Because he's heard it, Harry."

A smile flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.

It is possible to use veritaserum after a person is unconscious.

But when he was under the effects of Veritaserum, waking up was inevitable.

Then, the problem goes back to the beginning.

Will the truth he speaks become a lie that he misleads others?
Harry hadn't figured this out yet.

Maybe he'd never seen anyone using Veritaserum.

He only knew about Veritaserum because he had heard Professor Snape mention it, rather than seeing it with his own eyes.

Therefore, in this aspect, he was so shallow.

And Black and Lupine obviously knew it, otherwise they wouldn't have laughed and said nothing.

But after laughing, they found that when such a situation became a situation that they and others had to deal with, they felt that it was not an ordinary trouble.

"And what shall we do now, Professor."

"Let's use other methods first."

Dumbledore stared deeply at Peter Pettigrew.

As if feeling something, he laughed.

"The person we were waiting for has arrived."

After saying this without thinking, Dumbledore turned his head to the side and said something inexplicable.

"I thought you'd be here sooner, Severus, after all you've been here all this time."

"I just don't want to interrupt the pleasant exchange between our stupid Mr. Potter and that madman from Azkaban."

As Snape's voice appeared, his people gradually appeared in front of them.

Seeing the person coming, Black originally wanted to sneer, but seeing Professor McGonagall's unfriendly eyes, he forcibly held back.

He just snorted coldly, then looked away disdainfully.

When he was still a student, he was arrested by Professor McGonagall and put into confinement because he often made trouble and violated school rules.

Same goes for James.

Remus was only occasionally touched by them.

So, when facing Professor McGonagall.

Blake is like a mouse meeting a cat, not daring to make any mistakes.
