Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

Chapter 20 The legal network is open, no omissions are missed

Pettigrew crawled under Professor McGonagall's feet, "Professor, I am... Peter... your student, your student... you don't know how." Professor McGonagall took two steps back and frowned.

Pettigrew knew that he would have no help from Professor McGonagall. He crawled to Ron's side, and the spell on Ron had been lifted when Dumbledore and others came in.

"Ron..haven't I always been your good friend..and a good pet? You wouldn't let them kill me, would you..You were on my side, weren't you?"

But Ron stared at Peter Pettigrew with utter disgust.

"He used to sleep in my bed!" Ron said.

"Kind child... kind master..." Peter Pettigrew crawled towards Ron, "You won't let them do it... I am your mouse... I am a good pet..."

"It's nothing to brag about if you're a better rat than a man, Peter," said Black hoarsely.

"I have a question, Mr. Black. Why do you stay near Hagrid's hut?" Hermione asked.

"I heard that Harry was about to start school. Weren't you attacked on the train? I was afraid that he would be sought revenge by Death Eaters, so I wanted to protect him."

"Okay, it seems we already know what happened, but Anakin, Mr. Black, do you have anything to add?" Dumbledore asked seriously.

Anakin and Sirius told Principal Dumbledore exactly what happened. Dumbledore thought for a moment and then said: "This is a complex and shocking story. Sirius, I know that you have been mistaken for a traitor and have been looking for opportunities to prove your innocence. If you wish, I can contact the Ministry of Magic, Let them take over the matter and conduct an in-depth investigation to clear your name."

Sirius nodded in agreement: "I am willing to cooperate and hand everything over to the Ministry of Magic's investigation. I hope that I can eventually clear my name of being wrongly accused."

Dumbledore continued: "Anakin, regarding your important contribution to this event, I will contact the Ministry of Magic to see if I can nominate you for the Order of Merlin."

Anakin expressed his gratitude gratefully. Hermione was also relieved, she thought this was a reasonable solution.

Professor McGonagall added: "Of course, Anakin, your behavior is still a bit reckless. Please handle similar situations with caution next time. From now on, you will be responsible for cleaning the trophy room every Friday at eight o'clock until the end of this semester. It's over." Anakin accepted the punishment.

People from the Ministry of Magic quickly arrived at Hogwarts and took over the investigation of the entire incident. Minister Fudge himself came to Hogwarts to take over.

"You - you must be kidding!" Fudge gasped in surprise, shaking his head and backing away from Dumbledore, "We finally found the war hero from ten years ago, but you hope I sent him to prison. If the wizarding world found out, Dumbledore - my career would be over -."

"Connelly, you are too obsessed with your official position, which makes you lose your due judgment." Dumbledore said, his voice gradually increased, and people could feel the aura of power surrounding him. His eyes burned again.

"Minister, Professor, can I say a few words?" Anakin asked, acting a little nervous. "We all know that Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban without a trial, and this decision was made by the acting minister at the time, Barty Crouch."

Before Anakin could finish speaking, Fudge understood what he meant. He had always been particularly astute in politics. He nodded in agreement.

Dumbledore looked at Minister Fudge with deep sympathy: "Yes, Minister Fudge, this incident revealed a very dangerous situation. Sirius was once mistaken as a traitor, and his grievances have never been clarified. Anakin , this young student, showed outstanding courage and ingenuity in helping us solve this mystery. I am very proud of him, so I propose that he be nominated for the Order of Merlin 2nd Class in recognition of his contribution. "

Minister Fudge thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Anakin, this is a good idea. Your courage and intelligence bring us hope. We will nominate you for the Order of Merlin as soon as possible."

Anakin bowed gratefully, thanking Secretary Fudge for his decision.

"We have to take Sirius and Pettigrew away." Fudge looked at Pettigrew with disgust on his face. "We can only put Sirius back after a trial. But I think the trial this time will be simpler, and we won't He will once again make the same mistakes that the previous acting minister made." Fudge emphasized the acting minister's voice, as if to distance himself from the relationship.

"Before that, we still have to keep them in the Ministry of Magic, waiting for trial." Fudge finally concluded.

After Fudge took Sirius and Pettigrew away, Anakin looked complicated and couldn't help but shake his head. What is the Ministry of Magic? At that time, in order for wizards to adapt to the new era and better implement the "Law of Secrecy", the wizards' parliaments in various countries were reorganized, and the current Ministry of Magic came into being. In other words, the foundation of the Ministry of Magic is the "Act of Secrecy", and it mainly only needs to maintain the "Act of Secrecy". Muggle government is a political system, a set of institutions that establish, enforce laws and manage a certain area. The Ministry of Magic is really full of loopholes compared to the Muggle world's government. Even an honest man like Arthur Weasley would bend the law to his advantage. Anakin thought, "It's time for reform at the Ministry of Magic."

When talking to politicians, the proposal must be beneficial to him. For Anakin, instead of wasting time fighting with them, it is better to spend more time studying magic spells to strengthen himself.

Six o'clock in the evening, auditorium

After all the students arrived in the auditorium, Dumbledore stood up and looked at everyone present with a smile. "Students and staff, today we have experienced an extraordinary event that has shown us the power of friendship, loyalty, and courage. I would like to express my gratitude to Ron Weasley, Heisa Finch, Harry Potter Special tribute to Anakin Wilson, whose courage and wisdom helped us clear up a decade of mysteries and reveal a shocking history. We have to take a hard look at our magical laws and institutions to Make sure such an injustice never happens again.”

"Sirius Black, considered by most wizards to be Voldemort's most powerful Death Eater, was today proven to have been wrongfully accused by Anakin. He tracked down Peter Pettigrew, allowing us to revisit the events of a decade ago. incident. This also reminds us that justice and truth will never be concealed, no matter how much time passes, they will eventually emerge in the light."

Dumbledore paused briefly to let his words echo in the Great Hall before continuing: "Peter Pettigrew will be brought to the Ministry of Magic to be tried to determine his crime and punishment. As for Sirius Black, we will fight for Restore his reputation so that he no longer has to bear false charges."
