Chapter 30 The Follow-up of Peter Pettigrew

what?

Salvation, despair, soul, I know every word clearly, but I seem to be illiterate when I put them together.

Loren's doubts were not answered. After explaining what he said, Dumbledore and Nico exchanged pleasantries, and then took Loren away.

"Principal, I have some questions."

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

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

"Why would Mr. Nicole Flamel dream of a mysterious man saying to give me the book?"

"Loren, there are still many unexplainable things in the magical world. Prophecy is one of them. Most of the prophecies are very obscure and have no clear direction, but there are some exceptions."

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

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

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

Loren ignored the last sentence, and continued to ask: "Why is he clearly trying to help me, but seems to be deliberately alienating me?"

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

Dumbledore remembered some past events, and sometimes the prophecy itself contributed to the result of the prophecy.

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

The puddles in front gradually increased, and Dumbledore took Loren's hand: "Study with peace of mind, do your homework well, that's about it."

Loren grinned at Dumbledore with a look on his face that don't think that I can lie to me just because I am a child: "Oh~"

He went on to ask: "What is the salvation of a hopeless soul?"

Dumbledore was very patient, and he always spoke in a leisurely manner: "Loren, you have to know that being old doesn't mean you know everything. But, when the time comes, I can give you some advice."

"You can just say that you don't know." Loren changed the subject, "Did the matter with Peter Pettigrew come to fruition?"

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

The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, originally identified the culprit as Sirius. As for Peter hiding in the Weasleys' house, it was another case.

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

In fact, things are 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 put him to death. .

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

According to the Auror on duty, Pettigrew was still quibbling loudly when he first entered, but soon the sophistry turned into howling.Pettigrew started begging for mercy within five minutes, but he didn't hear Moody ask any questions, and there was only wailing in the room, which lasted for several hours.

Finally, when a new Auror went in and asked Moody to have dinner, Pettigrew pleaded with snot and tears to keep the madman away from him, and quickly confided everything about that year.

Moody handed over the rest to the others, and when he exited the room, he muttered: "I thought it was a tough bone, bah, cowardly scum."

Strangely, there were no scars on Pettigrew's body after the incident, and the Ministry of Magic did not detect any magic that Moody used.

The Aurors then arraigned another party in the old case, Sirius.

Sirius was very uncooperative at first, he didn't say a word the whole time, his eyes were empty like a dead man's.

Some Aurors thought that Eater of Souls had sucked him into a fool, but after learning that Pettigrew was arrested, Sirius cheered up all of a sudden, as if he had regained his life, and quickly explained the case, his confession and Pettigrew Dwarf stars are basically the same.

Fudge was convinced that this was an unjust case left by the previous minister. Helping to find out 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.

But Dumbledore didn't tell Loren about these things. He just sighed: "It was too chaotic for a while after the war. I was a little negligent about 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, asking them to contribute funds to compensate the victims and rebuild after the war.

Sirius was wrongly imprisoned, and there was also a big reason that he did it himself. He laughed like a pervert at the scene of the crime, and he didn't defend himself after being arrested, so he went to jail directly.

"The final result is that there will be a public trial next Wednesday, and the punishment of Pettigrew will be announced. Sirius should be free by then."

Loren thought it turned out well, and Harry should be very happy, but Ron's chestnut wand should be missing.

Talking along the way, Dumbledore finally brought Loren to a candy store.

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

Dumbledore skillfully took out the pound and handed it to the clerk: "It's still the same, put a little of everything, and put more hazelnut chocolate."

The clerk was chatting with Dumbledore while packing the candy, looking very familiar.

Loren's jaw is about to drop to the ground, and you took me so far to buy candy!

People over 100 years old, why not be so naive.

Dumbledore took the packaged candy bag and saw Loren's mouth open in surprise. He picked up a piece of mint and put it into Loren's mouth: "Muggle candy also has a special flavor, I like it the most." Chocolate hazelnuts here."

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

In the end, the two came to an empty alley. Dumbledore held a candy bag in one hand and Loren in the other. He said a spell that Loren had never heard before, and the two returned to Hogwarts Castle in an instant. Inside, in the principal's office.

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

Although there is a golden feather, it still looks ugly overall, Loren thought secretly.

Fawkes, who was parked on Dumbledore's desk, yelled "chirp!" at Loren. The sound was not like any bird Loren knew, but Loren inexplicably heard that it was scolding him.

"Goodbye, principal!" Loren hurried away, otherwise he would be beaten by a bird.

Dumbledore looked at Loren who ran out, smiled and picked up a piece of candy and fed it to Fox: "Okay, he's just a child."

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

Fox yelled at Dumbledore now.
