The transfer student at Hogwarts just wants to fall in love [continued]

The principal's office was quiet except for Peter Pettigrew's sobbing confession.

Fudge's face twisted.

To him, he didn't care if the real culprit was Pettigrew or Sirius.

The important thing is that if the real culprit is Pettigrew, it proves that an unjust case that lasted for more than ten years was born in the Ministry of Magic during his tenure.

And the person imprisoned is the Godfather of the Savior!

Merlin, it may affect your career...

But now that he has gained both the stolen goods and others, if he tries to cheat here, let alone his official career, he doubts that he will be able to get out of the principal's office.

He felt that his rusty brain was starting to spin rapidly.

Is there a way to have the best of both worlds, so that Sirius can be vindicated while also preserving the Ministry of Magic and, more importantly, his own reputation...

He instinctively looked at the people around him, hoping to get some help, and his eyes swept across the silent Snape.

correct!

His eyes lit up and his expression became much calmer.

"Mo Bai, can I just call you by your name?"

"Of course," Mo Bai crossed his legs and held tea, looking like a noble man.

"When Professor Snape notified me, he briefly described the situation at the scene."

Fudge also sat down, and the Aurors were separated.

"I heard that Sirius did act aggressively towards Harry and got into a fight with Miss Granger, right?"

Mo Bai raised his eyes and looked at Fudge with a half-smile.

"What else have you heard?"

"Also, the Obscurial One who fought against Professor Snape."

Mo Bai was stunned, "Siren, what is that?"

"Minister, I am only a third-year student with limited knowledge."

The veins on Fudge's forehead were twitching.

Now you are a third grader again?

"I'm just kidding," Mo Bai squinted and smiled like a little fox, "Of course I know that this Obscurial has restrained the professors and the principal. Even so, he still has the energy to fight Professor Snape for 300 rounds. .”

He said and smiled at Snape.

Snape's face was thick with ink.

These words sound like they are hurting yourself.

"But then the Obscurus disappeared. I don't know whether he died in the hands of the professor or escaped."

Fudge spread his hands and said, "I heard that the Obscurial was an accomplice of Sirius. In this case, even if Peter Pettigrew was the real murderer back then, Sirius did lead his accomplices to attack Hogwarts, and was suspected of Attempted murder of Harry Potter.”

"I'll take him back to investigate. Is there no problem?"

Mo Bai smiled.

"Of course there is no problem..."

"white!"

Harry stood up excitedly from behind, but was pulled back by Hermione.

"Bai can handle it, trust him."

Mo Bai gave him a comforting look and spoke slowly.

"But if your purpose is to investigate, you don't need to go back to the Ministry of Magic. Someone has already investigated it. I can tell you the ins and outs of the matter now."

"Oh~ who did the investigation? Can he be more professional than an Auror?"

"Dumbledore."

"..."

Mo Bai spread his hands and said, "Otherwise he wouldn't be so tired."

The old man, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating, hummed very cooperatively.

Fudge felt a lump in his throat.

What about the acting of you, the old and the young, singing and singing together?

But there was nothing he could do.

It can’t be said that the greatest wizard in the world is inferior to his Auror from the Ministry of Magic...

"Then... what did the great Dumbledore find out?"

"Of course everything has been investigated, such as the identity of the Obscurial One."

Dumbledore's sleepy eyes opened a little.

He was also a little curious and wanted to know what he found out in his investigation.

"As for the identity of the Silent One, I have to mention one person..."

The jet-black pupils looked blurry under the heat rising from the tea cup.

"Voldemort."

Fudge's hands trembled visibly.

"That person...has been dead for many years."

"But we all know that there are still many Death Eaters who have not been captured, right?"

"You mean..." Fudge's pupils shrank, "That Obscurial is a Death Eater?!"

Mo Bai smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

"When Voldemort was at his peak, he was also afraid of Dumbledore, so he found a 'weapon' against Dumbledore, which was the Obscurus."

Dumbledore opened his eyes slightly. Why did this story sound so familiar?

"But obviously, he was eliminated by Harry before this Obscurial could grow up."

"So in order to avenge his master, he used the Imperius Curse to control Sirius in prison and asked his godfather to kill his godson. Obviously this Obscurus is very vicious..."

Hermione looked away behind her, her mouth trembling.

You also know...

Controlled by the Imperius Curse? !

Sirius next to him was shocked. How could he make it up like this?

Mo Bai narrowed his eyes, "Minister Fudge, as far as I know, many wizards became Death Eaters because they were cast by Voldemort with the Soul-Destroying Curse. These wizards were not sanctioned after Voldemort's death, right?"

Fudge already knew what the boy in front of him had planned.

When Voldemort lost power, most of the Death Eaters were liquidated, but some of the Death Eaters had nothing to do. The reason they joined the Death Eaters was that they were controlled by Voldemort with the Dementor Curse.

Of course, they cannot pass the test simply by using this reason. They also have to "pay taxes" to the Ministry of Magic every year.

This is how the Malfoys escaped.

Since there is a precedent, Sirius can naturally use this excuse to get away with it.

Fudge suddenly understood.

While Mo Bai excused Sirius, he also reminded him.

If you are afraid that public opinion will backfire on you, you can completely guide public opinion to others...

This mysterious Obscurus is perfectly suited to take the blame.

It can even turn out that Sirius's crimes more than ten years ago were controlled by the Imperius Curse.

In this way, the situation changes from "the Ministry of Magic is incompetent and wrongfully accuses good people" to "the Death Eaters are sinister and vicious and take advantage of good people."

The direction of public opinion is completely different.

He didn't care about the facts, he only cared about the Ministry of Magic and his own face.

Now there are "facts" to be told to the public, and even if the "die-hards" in the department are not satisfied with the whitewashed story, there is a real criminal - Peter Pettigrew - to deal with.

Fudge stood up satisfied with his explanation both externally and internally.

"Take Pettigrew away. As for Sirius... you will be free when we release the 'truth'."

"Awesome!" Harry jumped up.

Peter was led away crying.

Everyone in the room looked at Snape, who had been silent since just now.

The director of the snake hospital lowered his head slightly. Staring at Sirius and Lupine, they seemed a little unwilling to accept the current result.

"Professor, is there anything else you can do?"

Snape shifted his gaze and stared at Mo Bai.

"The Dark Lord's old department? Classmate Mo Bai has such a rich imagination."

"Professor, I don't understand what you are saying. This is what the principal told me..."

"Don't you understand?"

Snape sighed, looked at Dumbledore who had his eyes closed, and turned away with a cold snort.

Mo Bai turned around and looked at everyone.

"ended."
