Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

Chapter 43 The trial begins

Beside Sirius and Peter Pettigrew, their advocate Dumbledore stood with another wizard, while Mrs. Peter stood on the other side. Anakin walked onto the central platform. The presiding judge looked at him and asked: "Mr. Anakin Wilson, just now Sirius Black's defender claimed that it was you who revealed the true identities of Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black and brought them to justice." He was arrested, is this true?”

"Yes." Anakin nodded calmly. The Inquisitor frowned and stared at Ivan suspiciously, as he could not believe that a wizard of such a low first year could single-handedly reveal the true identities of Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black and arrest them. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "Please tell me what happened!"

"I'm going to start with a newspaper report from ten years ago. At that time, Sirius Black transformed into a huge black dog and lay beside us. At that time, Harry proposed to give this The black dog was named Black because the color of his fur matched Sirius' surname. However, Hagrid didn't like the name very much and he called him a traitor, expressing his dissatisfaction with Sirius. The black dog was actually a An unusually large canine, its size is striking and bears an uncanny resemblance to the timing of Harry's first arrival at Hogwarts. These factors raised my suspicions about the dog's true identity.

What makes me even more suspicious is that when Hagrid refers to it as "Black is a traitor", it seems to reveal a moment of extreme emotional fluctuations, albeit rather briefly. This moment made me wonder if this black dog was Sirius himself, hiding behind this mysterious appearance. This suspicion inspired our subsequent actions to uncover the truth.

So I decided to give it a very strange name, 'Padfoot', to see how it reacted. Sure enough, it stopped and stared directly at me, which strengthened my doubts about its true identity.

In addition, there is an extremely strange creature near us, my friend Ron's pet named Scabbers. Scabbers has been living in the Weasley family for at least ten years. Scabbers, like Pettigrew at the time, was also missing a finger on his left hand, and it was in the same position. So, I decided to lead them into a closed room, where I directly bound the mouse with magic, and then transformed Sirius Black into a human form. Regardless of whether they are animagus or not. Of course, Sirius saw that we were students and didn't attack. Pettigrew was proven to be the betrayer. "Anakin said what happened.

The presiding judge frowned: "Have you ever considered that Sirius Black would pose a life threat to you? According to newspaper reports, he allegedly used magic to kill thirteen Muggles, and you have no control over him. Not enough to ensure your safety."

"I don't think he had a wand at the time, and we were all on guard with our wands pointed at him. I'm willing to take that risk." Anakin remained calm. The presiding judge nodded, no longer questioning Anakin, and turned his attention to Pettigrew, who was bound to his seat. "So, Mr. Peter, do you have anything to add or state?"

Peter Pettigrew sat there, looking cunning and nervous. His eyes were wandering, obviously thinking about how to respond to the presiding judge's question.

The presiding judge's voice sounded again, this time more sternly: "Mr. Peter, you must state your case clearly, without any concealment or avoidance."

Peter Pettigrew's throat creaked, and he finally said: "I'm just too scared. I know Sirius is chasing me, and I've been in fear. But, I didn't kill those Muggles, I was the victim. .Sirius, it was Sirius who killed those Muggles, it was Sirius who did it!"

Sirius roared: "Pettigrew, you traitor! How dare you! How dare you! Even if I die! Even if I die! I will not betray the James family!"

The Inquisitor stared at Pettigrew, disbelief evident. He then continued: "Peter Pettigrew, do you have any evidence to prove this?"

Peter Pettigrew fell silent, clearly unprepared for the question. However, he quickly regained his composure and said: "I have no direct evidence, but Sirius Black has been hunting me, and his actions are enough to prove his crime."

Anakin interjected: "President, it is also worth noting that Sirius Black did not take any offensive action when we encountered him. He saw that we were students and did not threaten us. He only wanted Grab Pettigrew, and if you're in doubt, ask the teachers at Hogwarts about how good Sirius and James' relationship is."

Mrs. Peter declared with a trembling voice: "Rebuttal!" She glanced at the Wizengamot commissioners sitting on both sides of the table, and said passionately: "Gentlemen and ladies, should we believe a person who has only been in school for two weeks? A new student? He has never received any magic education before, but he claims to be able to recognize the transformation of Animagus? And he dares to claim that he can subdue two adult wizards? This is simply ridiculous! He is obviously lying, I am sure!" Mrs. Peter glared at Anakin with hatred, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

Peter's defender, Mr. Cameron, continued: "My witness has made it very clear. How can a young wizard who has just entered school know such a profound spell? What's more, he has learned such a powerful all-inhibition spell? According to According to the data, Anakin Wilson had been living in the Muggle world before coming to Hogwarts, and it was impossible to master such complex magic. Moreover, the knowledge of Animagus transformation has never appeared in the Hogwarts library. Unless it's in the restricted area."

Members sitting at the committee table began to discuss. Cameron's clever guidance is impressive. He seems to be silently implying that Anakin's knowledge has an unknown origin. If Anakin says that he went to the forbidden book area and saw it, then he is interested in black magic. Nagin says he doesn't know about the Animagus, which undermines his credibility. No matter how Anakin answered, he would be in an awkward position.

Anakin smiled slightly: "You may have forgotten that our Hogwarts transfiguration book professor, Professor McGonagall, performed a demonstration of Animagus transformation in the first-year class. This is what I access to this knowledge.”

Anakin continued: "As for the spell of imprisonment, I just want to remind Mr. Cameron that maybe your mediocrity in spells is not the same as everyone. Because, obviously, your understanding of spells and application methods, probably can’t compare to my efforts and enthusiasm, right?”
