The leader of HP arrives

The Wizengamot chose to hold court at [-]:[-] pm on Tuesday, which is almost the busiest time of the week, but the huge elders' house on the seventh basement floor of the Ministry of Magic was still full of wizards and reporters who came to hear the news. them.After the news of Sirius Black's escape from prison, the eye-catching news of Peter Perudi's "resurrection" broke out again. It has been a long time since such explosive reports appeared one after another in the dull magic world.

More than a dozen Oro escorted Peter Pedilu slowly to the stand for trial, and the hall was immediately filled with the noisy whispers of the crowd and the pungent smell of the magic camera spotlight burning.This is a short, wretched middle-aged man, with thin and messy hair that makes him look completely different from the hero of the Order of the Phoenix in the Daily Prophet 11 years ago.

Few wizards can use the Animagus form for a long time. It has nothing to do with the wizard's spell skills or magic power. It is just because in the Animagus form, the wizard's sanity as a human being will be suppressed to the minimum and replaced by animals. inborn habit.Such a nature cannot be eliminated. For example, wizards who belong to the cat family in Animagus form will naturally become interested in mice or cattails, and most wizards who maintain Animagus form for a long time cannot resist such an impulse. , finally chose to devour dirty rats that should not be human food.Peter Pedirou has maintained the Animagus form for more than ten years. No wizard in the history of British magic has dared to make such a challenge. Ten years of life as a pet mouse has also left an indelible mark on him. Mark of.Whether it's the eyes turning in fear, the tip of the nose twitching slightly, or the subconscious movement of raising the hand to scratch the cheek, it's reminiscent of that bloated and ugly mouse.

It's hard to imagine what kind of horrible thing happened to make a wizard fall to such a point, even willing to give up the right to be a human being.Dumbledore came in from outside the gate. The waist-length beard and bright blue magic robe made this great white wizard look like a joking old man who was keen on circus.But in fact, this aged old wizard had unparalleled influence and a very lofty reputation in the British wizarding world. With the dull sound of dragon leather boots beating on the marble floor, the hall gradually fell silent.Dumbledore slowly walked up to the defense bench, and nodded to everyone in the elders' bench. Fudge subconsciously loosened his tie, averted his eyes, and looked at the Malfoy patriarch in the auditorium.

The Minister of Magic and the Headmaster of Hogwarts are at odds, which is one of the latest Ministry of Magic news.Shortly after the Death Eaters escaped from prison, the Minister of Magic suddenly changed his old attitude of obeying Dumbledore's words and showed fierce resistance.The first step of this performance completely wiped out Oro's office. Oro has always been the target of Dumbledore's win over. Almost all the Oro of the Order of the Phoenix were fired or seconded out of the office. News from the Sly family.This also made the elders of the Wizengamot have to re-examine the chunky and bald minister of magic in front of them, and carefully consider the forces behind the puppet minister's violent behavior.

Fudge's movement of looking at Lucius was not obvious, but for most wizards who were paying attention, such eyes were enough.Lucius Malfoy was one of the few Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban, and the Malfoy family was one of the few pure-blood nobles who preserved their wealth in the catastrophe for Slytherin. Malfoy himself was acquitted from Azkaban by Dumbledore himself.Some people also speculate that the Malfoy family has hidden a large portion of the property left by the mysterious man. This is almost a miracle of Merlin, but the Malfoy family climbed to the position of the richest man in the British wizarding world due to such incredible luck.But in the magical world that advocates personal force, wealth is not enough to dominate all power decisions.There was silence in the elders' seats, and everyone looked at the man beside Lucius. This man wore a mask on his face, but such a bright red magic robe was enough to make the old wizards who had experienced that period of history Think of too many things.

The You-Know-Who is back, right here in England, right here at Hogwarts, and such groundless rumors suddenly become real.Lucius is certainly not enough to fight Dumbledore, but what if, the You-Know-Who is really back?Fudge was originally a puppet supported by Death Eaters. Of course, that powerful wizard who couldn't even mention his name could order him to fight against the Order of the Phoenix so blatantly.

The bell rang for the third time, and Fudge glanced at Crouch, who was sitting in the very center of the trial seat. Crouch looked a little dazed, as if he hadn't noticed the time at all.He coughed vigorously, stretched out his hand and pushed Crouch's shoulder, and the old Crouch woke up, and announced the start of the trial, "Peter Pediru, can you swear to Merlin that you are here today?" Is everything that was said in court true?"

Peter's shoulders and fingers were trembling uncontrollably, not from fear at all, but from nervousness about the focus of the lights and the crowd.He shrank his neck and twisted his neck in fear, as if he wanted to curl himself up into a ball, but suddenly an old woman sitting in the crowd flashed across his vision.This is a tired old lady, the family crest of Pediru is shining on her chest, and she is tightly holding the Daily Prophet ten years ago in her hand.For an old man who has lost his only heir, the glory of his grandson has become his only consolation.

Peter stared blankly for a while, and suddenly straightened his shoulders with difficulty. His body had already been deformed in the long-term Animagus form, but he still strained his shoulders with all his strength, and answered hoarsely. ,"I swear."

"Can you explain to everyone what happened 11 years ago?"

"I'm happy to be honest with the court about what happened that year." Peter Pedilu turned his head and looked at the nervous old woman in the auditorium. But still biting each word in a hoarse voice intermittently, "This secret has been hidden in my heart for 11 years. I once deceived the British society, and I paid the due price for it. I gave up 11 years ago. As a wizard, or even as a human being, the right is just to survive. But now, under the testimony of Merlin, I am willing to disclose this terrible secret. I am willing to tell everyone here everything that happened 11 years ago. .”

"11 years ago, I betrayed the Order of the Phoenix." There was an exclamation at the scene, and Peter took a deep breath, "11 years ago, it was Principal Dumbledore who ordered me to disclose the address of the Potter family to Death Eaters. only."

Old Crouch's wrist shook violently, and the gavel hit the table with a loud sound. There was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes focused on Dumbledore's face in shock.Even Dumbledore's face was full of shock. He is the greatest white wizard in history, the principal of Hogwarts, and the leader of the Order of the Phoenix. He is a resourceful decision-maker who executes every step precisely. But he is not a qualified politician.His powerful magic power and great reputation are enough to solve most of the problems, but he himself can't even do anything about the finances of the Order of the Phoenix, and his schemes are more open and aboveboard, rather than such despicable and shameless false accusations.

"Honorable Mr. Judge, honorable jurors, I am willing to provide evidence for Mr. Perudi. Eleven years ago, Mr. Perudi was the secret keeper of the Potter family, and it was he who provided the Death Eaters with the The address hidden in Gowerk Valley." Lucius' voice was smooth and gorgeous, and there was even a sly smile on the corner of his eyes.Old Crouch almost wanted to jump up and announce that Perudi was talking nonsense, and that he had long been in collusion with Lucius. He even loudly ordered Oro to arrest the Death Eater who slipped through the net in front of him immediately, but Fudge coughed heavily again, Remind him that he must respect the Wizengamot's legal process.He could only force his voice out of his throat, "You can sit down now, Mr. Malfoy. Is there anyone else who can prove it?"

Lucius bowed slightly to salute, and sat back on his seat calmly, with an elegant and decent manner, but the fingers covered by the wide sleeves of the robe climbed onto other people's palms not so gracefully.Dongfang Bubai had to look sideways at the daring Malfoy patriarch. Lucius' eyes were still paying attention to the situation in court, but the faint smile on his lips became more charming.The fingers clasping his palm firmly were warm and dry. Dongfang hesitated for a moment, and finally clenched Lucius' fingers tightly, showing a faint smile under the mask.

Severus tightened his lips, which made his expression look more sullen and menacing than usual, and made Harry Potter, who was sitting next to him, tense his neck.Dumbledore arranged for himself to protect the savior to attend the trial. He didn't want to follow Dumbledore's arrangement. He didn't want to see the savior during the time he had to appear in the potions class, and he didn't want to listen to Pettigrew's confession. That painful past.But he still came, maybe that adult will also attend the trial, as long as he can see that person, even if he only takes a look from a distance, I finally sat in the Wizengamot's auditorium with such a cowardly mentality On the road, I saw the blood-red magic robe again with my own eyes.But at this moment, he regretted his cowardice. There was something different in the relationship between Lucius and that lord. He already knew all the feelings Lucius had for that man.He even had to admit that only a handsome and powerful pure-blood wizard like Lucius was enough to stand beside that man, but when he really saw all this with his own eyes, the jealousy and pain were like a poisonous python biting his chest chest.

"Is there any proof for Mr. Perudi?" Crouch repeated.

Severus clenched his fingers tightly, and the yellow and hard nails that had been exposed to potions for a long time pierced deeply into his palms. The pain seemed to bring him new courage.The potions master glanced at Dumbledore, stood up abruptly, "I can prove it!"
