v3 Chapter 140： life imprisonment

"Yes, James and Lily ended up switching to me as the Keeper." Peter Pettigrew let out a few grunts, before speaking in a flat, dispassionate tone.

There was a slight hum in the seventh courtroom when Peter admitted that he was Peter Petrou. When he himself said that he was the Potter's secret keeper, the entire courtroom "exploded". But there is a big difference between a grown-up wizard and a Hogwarts student.

After a brief chatter, they all refrained, but a few couldn't help but raise their fists and middle fingers at Peter.

Anyone who cares about the Sirius case knows that there is a key point in this case, and that is who the Potters chose to keep the secret. With the protection of the Brave Loyalty Charm, the mysterious man could not find the Potters, but he finally found them, which means that the secrecy person betrayed them.

So it is not difficult to come to a conclusion that the secret keeper of the Potters is the Death Eater who took refuge in the mysterious man.

Before everyone thought it was Sirius Black, but now the case has been reversed.

Fudge easily got the confession he wanted, but he had a more important question to pry out of Peter's mouth today.

He suppressed his excitement and asked as calmly as possible: "After the mysterious man lost his power, why didn't you fly away, but instead lurked at the Weasleys?"

Peter's eyelids trembled twice, "Because I need to collect information and find the most suitable time to welcome the master's return—or rather, I want the master to make a comeback with my help—"

boom!

The wizards couldn't bear it any longer, and the roof of the entire courtroom was about to be overturned.

"Bastard!"

"The crime is extremely heinous and punishable by capital punishment!"

"Minister, send him to Azkaban, he will never be freed!"

Peter's actions can be said to have uncovered the evil scales of the wizards present and awakened their deepest fears. The wizards present are generally between forty and sixty years old. These people have experienced the Grindelwald era and do not know the horror of the original Dark Lord. But they have all experienced the era when Voldemort was rampant, and truly felt the suffocating sense of oppression and precariousness brought by Voldemort.

For them, whoever wants to resurrect Voldemort is their number one enemy. How could a group of people who couldn't even believe the news of Voldemort's return would let a guy who tried to resurrect Voldemort go.

It was for Dumbledore's sake that they didn't rush off the field and beat Peter. But even with Dumbledore Town, the crowd was excited.

"So have you successfully resurrected the mysterious man?" Following Fudge's question, the entire courtroom was extremely quiet.

"No." Peter replied simply and neatly, "the time has not come."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As for the timing of resurrecting Voldemort, they don't care, as long as it's not now!

Looking at the performance of the wizards around him, Dumbledore sighed. He never imagined that the wizarding world would be so afraid of Voldemort. It was as if the entire Ministry of Magic would fall apart at once if he returned and raised his arms.

Dumbledore found that he underestimated how much other people feared Tom Riddle. But it's normal, they don't even dare to call him by his name, even if he has become a wandering soul!

Since the Demon King is gone, the aftermath is astonishing in the vulgar.

He regrets it a little now, why didn't he insist on sending those guys who pretended to be not Death Eaters into Azkaban.

But I can't blame him for being soft-hearted, because there were too many guys who secretly communicated with Voldemort back then!

It can be said that he and the Order of the Phoenix were forced into a dead end by Riddle and his men. Families loyal to the Order of the Phoenix were uprooted, and the elites of the Ministry of Magic were killed one by one. The battle was getting worse and worse, and it was normal for those pure-blood families to be shaken.

Dumbledore even felt that if Tom Riddle did not believe that prophecy, but continued to develop steadily for a few years, further weakening the power of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, then he and his servants could probably attack Hogwarts directly. .

Dumbledore seemed a little weak during that time, and could not stay at Hogwarts. Mainly because in the face of Voldemort, he also has no certainty of victory. If you lose, that's the real big deal, and everything will be over.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore's eyes were sharp for a moment, and then became calm and deep. He had some support for Tom's idea.

He believed that Riddle would come back, so why not try to keep track of his return if that's the case? In this way, he can still fish and further weaken his power.

The battle with Voldemort is an overall duel between good and evil. If the Death Eaters can be weakened in advance, then Dumbledore will naturally not be soft-hearted.

Fudge was very happy at this point. In any case, the Azkaban escape incident has been solved by him-the fugitive is innocent, so naturally he is not a fugitive, and the prison escape incident can be turned over from this. Even better, he got the news: The mysterious man has not been resurrected. This is really good.

Although he was very happy and happy inside, there was no trace of emotion on his face. He looked at Peter Pettigrew seriously and said, "I don't think it is necessary to continue asking questions. Now I ask the jury to vote," Fudge said. Say out loud, "Raise your hand if you think as I do that Peter Petrou deserves a life sentence in Azkaban!"

Fudge didn't want to ask any further. He thought the evidence was enough to convict him, so he initiated a vote.

The result did not surprise him, and almost all the wizards voted in favor The individual who opposed it only felt that Fudge's sentence was too light.

"Very good, put him in Azkaban!" Two dementors floated in, grabbed Peter's shoulders, and led him out of the courtroom. Together with the Aurors, they will **** Peter Pettigrew to Azkaban.

Looking at Peter Pettigrew who was gradually receding, Fudge showed a relieved smile. There was loud applause from behind him. He turned around and looked at the wizards present, and everyone's applause became more enthusiastic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to celebrate the success of stopping the Dark Wizard's conspiracy!" Fudge couldn't help laughing.

Dumbledore looked at Fudge, who was smiling like a child, and also showed a kind smile. The only depressed person present was probably Amelia Burns. She watched Fudge finish Peter's trial, feeling as if his popularity would rise to the next level.

There is absolutely no chance of your own impeachment being successful! She thought to herself.
