Admiral of Hogwarts

"I'm just scared!" Peter Pettigrew screamed to hide his inner uneasiness: "What if the mysterious man's subordinates are looking for me? I sent their most capable officer to Azkaban - the spy, Sirius Blake!”

"But then Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban, and you could come out." Professor McGonagall looked at Peter and said, "Your mother was still alive at the time, and she was thinking of you until she died. But I always thought you were dead."

"Because I'm scared." Perhaps because it was McGonagall who was asking the question at this time instead of Dumbledore, Peter seemed calmer. "I'm worried that some others who slipped through the crackdown will take revenge on me and may even kill my mother."

"You are lying!" the Ministry of Magic official said angrily. "I am Bones, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. According to the information I have, after the mysterious man fell, the British magical community quickly recovered. There is no such threat as you mentioned."

"I told you, I'm very timid." After being asked by Ms. Bones, Peter blinked and defended.

"So I'm very worried about the revenge of those dark wizards, especially Sirius. You know, Sirius used a spell to blow up half of the street. I was really scared that time -"

"But if you are so timid, why would you take the initiative to avenge the Potters?" Ms. Bones said with a slight upward smile.

"I know you may say that the friendship between you and Potter prompted you to do this, but for a person who is too timid to appear in front of his mother, it is difficult for me to believe that he is willing to risk his life for the sake of friendship. "

"This..." Maybe it was because it took too long to transform into a mouse. Peter obviously had some brain problems, so just a few simple questions made him stuck there.

"Okay, Mr. Principal. I think a lot of things have been made clear." Ms. Bones turned to Dumbledore at this time and said, "Obviously, there were some circumstances in Sirius' case that we didn't know about before."

"So I hope to use your place to conduct a temporary interrogation, in order to find out the final truth of this matter as much as possible."

Ms. Bones is a resolute Ministry of Magic official, so she immediately decided to interrogate on the spot after discovering the problem.

"Just in the principal's office." Principal Dumbledore obviously didn't mind the interrogation being conducted in the office. "Do you need any more help from us?"

"No need." Ms. Bones shook her head and said, "We have all the items needed for interrogation, and my two colleagues are also very good at this kind of work."

Unlike strikers who are similar to Muggle police officers, Aurors are actually more similar to elite agents. So in addition to fighting, they are also good at a series of searches or interrogations.

So after obtaining Ms. Burns' permission, an Auror walked directly towards Peter who was lying on the ground, and at the same time took out a small bottle filled with transparent liquid from his pocket.

"No, you can't do that." Seeing the Auror approaching with a small bottle, Peter shouted at the top of his lungs, "The use of Veritaserum is restricted——"

"You are right, but as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, I have the authority to issue orders for the use of Veritaserum." Ms. Bones said, staring at Peter.

At this time, the Auror walked up to Peter and used a magic to force him to open his mouth, and then poured three drops of veritaserum into the other person's desperate eyes.

Just a few seconds after the potion entered the entrance, Peter stopped struggling, his eyes became dull, and his whole body relaxed. Bones clicked with his wand and conjured a chair, then conjured ropes from the air and tied Peter to it.

"Okay, now let's talk about who betrayed the Potters back then, and what happened in that battle between you and Sirius?" After Peter was tied up, Director Bones immediately began to interrogate him. stand up.

Under the influence of the potion, Peter revealed exactly how he had defected to Voldemort, how he betrayed the Potters, and how he framed Sirius.

After the transcript was recorded, Bones and the two Aurors took Peter, who was still under the influence of the drug, to use the fireplace in the principal's office and hurriedly left, seemingly to deal with the matter immediately.

"I never expected that the traitor would be that shy little boy back then." After Ms. Bones and the two Ministry of Magic officials left, Professor McGonagall shook her head and sighed.

"I doubted Sirius back then, and I also doubted Lupin, but I never doubted the little boy who was always following four people and was often ignored."

"Think of how much hardship Sirius must have endured after spending so many years in Azkaban with those nasty dementors. And I actually thought he was a traitor."

"Actually, everyone did something wrong. For example, I should have realized that there were problems with this trial and asked for a retrial." Professor Dumbledore took out some tissues from the table and handed them to Professor McGonagall.

"But thankfully, we still have the opportunity to correct our mistakes now. Even if it is too late, at least it will be better than not correcting it."

"For example, I can write to my old friends now and ask them to urge the Ministry of Magic to handle this matter as soon as possible and vindicate Sirius."

After making arrangements, Professor Dumbledore focused his attention on Hugo and the others. He first glanced at Hugo and the others who were waiting nearby, and then announced:

"Mr. and Miss Granger, I am very pleased that you were able to assist Professor Halsey in catching this criminal and exonerating an innocent man. So you can each add 50 to Ravenclaw." point."

"It's just that I hope you can keep this secret for the time being. Of course, this confidentiality does not need to be permanent. It only needs to wait for the Ministry of Magic to pronounce the verdict."

"No problem, Principal." Hugo and Hermione nodded and replied at the same time, and then walked out of the Principal's office together. At this time, companies are left in the office to deal with other issues.

"I'm a little curious about something." Hermione asked Hugo as they walked on the road.

"If Peter is really a subordinate of the mysterious man, and he has a grudge against Harry for killing his father and mother. Then why didn't he kill him after he lived with Harry for so long?"

"That's easy to understand." Hugo smiled. "Peter is not a brave man, so naturally he would not put himself in danger just to kill Harry."

"So in this case, the other party will make certain considerations. For example, if the mysterious man comes back again, he may take Harry to claim credit. And if Sirius dies in Azkaban, he can also jump out and say Protect Harry silently."

"This is really disgusting." Hermione had a look of disdain on her face, because Peter's behavior had exceeded the lower limit of human morality, and no normal person could accept it.

"Yes, humans are indeed strange creatures. When they are good, they can be like angels, but once they become evil, they will be more evil than demons."
