Chapter 187: Persuading Fudge
Nick's two friends were left in shock and disbelief after he was done explaining the gist of what had happened so very long ago. He didn't blame them for not being able to process it all at once since it was indeed quite a lot to take in. About five minutes later Harry was the first to break up the silence with a question "How did this happen if Peter was hidden so well?" he asked confused. Nick pointed to himself "That would be entirely my own doing actually." he said honestly.-
"You see after I learned but what truly happened to Harry's family I started digging into their past and found a bunch of things that didn't add up and after some more digging I figured out the truth of the situation. I admit that Peter was well hidden however he forgot one very important detail that gave him away and set all of this in motion , lifespan. The average lifespan for a common rat such as his Animagus form is a mere five years and Ron's family has had him for over a decade despite him being an adult when they first "found" him."-
"I found several coincidences that simply didn't add up until I discovered the truth and knew that I needed to do something about and waited until after the school year was out to act." Nick explained honest to a degree the way it played out. "Why didn't you tell me?" Ron asked looking hurt and angry at the same time. Nick sighed and shook his head "And what good would that have done besides tipping the rat off and having him escape leaving the only family that actually cares about Harry to rot in Azkaban? This was the best option and I did the best I could with what I had." he said honestly.- The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
In the center of the room sat a large dark wooden desk that Nick couldn't recognize from the dense lacquer on it. "Ah Nick it is quite the pleasant surprise to see you please make yourself comfortable!" Fudge said eager to please. Nick sat in the chair on the opposite side of the desk and greeted Fudge politely. "Delores could you give us the room please?" the minister asked and though she didn't show it the woman was clearly displeased being left out of the loop.
