Hogwarts Homecoming

Veritaserum is a potion that is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. It is not allowed to be used even in the interrogation of ordinary prisoners. Only those criminals who are criminals and dark wizards themselves have serious dangers to the magic world. Through Ami It was only allowed to use after the approval of Leah Burns and Cornelius Fudge.

The reliability of this potion is beyond doubt. When Peter's trembling voice echoed in the trial court fell to the ground, the venue fell into silence, and everyone had no doubts.

Amosta originally thought that this kind of formal trial would end here, but unexpectedly, Barty Crouch said again,

"Peterina Pettigrew, you will also face a second charge from the Ministry of Magic. Last November, for some reason, you left Ron Ignatius Weiss, who is currently studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lay's side, hiding in the school's owl hut, and using the Imperius Curse to control the third-year wizard studying in the school, Draco Malfoy, the process lasted for three months, giving Draco Malfoy Malfoy inflicted serious injury"

Barty Crouch leaned forward, staring at Peter Pettigrew with eagle-like eyes,

"--Currently, Draco Malfoy is still receiving treatment at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries--"

Amosta frowned, he moved his fingers, surrounded the voice around him and Dumbledore,

"Bringing this out is tantamount to telling everyone about our failure, Headmaster Dumbledore—"

Dumbledore's silver-white eyebrows moved, and he said calmly without looking sideways,

"We must admit, Amostar, that Hogwarts did not protect its students well, and if people blame us for this, we must bear it."

Amosta snorted coldly, a ray of light flashed across the eyes staring at Barty Crouch's back,

"Fudge and Burns looked a bit caught off guard, and this probably wasn't a question that was planned to be thrown. Was it Lucius Malfoy? He paid off Barty Crouch to put a few more hats on Peter's head, didn't he?" ?”

Amosta looked indifferent, if this is the case, Lucius Malfoy really did something stupid, since he had already spoken to himself, he turned his head and went to Barty Crouch in private, which is clearly right He doesn't trust.

While Lucius' trust is worthless to him, this behavior is a form of contempt to Amostar.

"Because of Draco, Lucius Malfoy couldn't stand Peter or walk into Azkaban, so-"

"If you knew Batty Sr. like I do, you wouldn't have guessed like that."

Dumbledore interrupted Amostar,

"Sirius' mistakes were a huge stain on Barty Sr., second only to the disgrace his son had brought him. Connelly wanted Barty Sr. to shoulder the mistakes made by the Ministry of Magic, but, like Barty Sr. A wizard like Dee will not be reconciled to his reputation plummeting."

Amosta blinked, understanding.

As a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, it is fatal enough that his son is a Death Eater, and the misjudgment of Sirius' case gave him the reputation of being a "stupid guy", but Barty Crouch Obviously not reconciled, he wanted to do something eye-catching to gain the support of some people.

The fact is just as Amostar expected.

"--Peter Pettigrew, accused of disclosing the whereabouts of the Potters to a mysterious person, leading to the murder of the two, accused of killing multiple Muggles, accused of using the Imperius Curse to control minor wizards, combined punishment for several crimes, it is recommended Sentenced to death!"

When Barty Crouch's cold voice resounded through the courtroom, the huge stone room immediately fell into a long silence, and many people stared at Barty Crouch's tough back with incredible eyes, This also includes Sirius Black below!

During the days of being detained by the Ministry of Magic, Sirius had already figured it out. This guy Peter probably saved his most precious life. So many Death Eaters who committed many crimes back then were sentenced to permanent prison terms in Azkaban There is a high probability that the Wizengamot will not 'open the back door' for this guy Peter.

But now, Barty Crouch, who sent him to Azkaban with his own hands, suggested that the jury should sentence Peter to death. Sirius stared at Barty Crouch in astonishment, not knowing whether to hate him or It's time to thank him.

"Wait, Barty, this is not what we negotiated, I mean, according to the law, it should be imprisonment!"

Fudge finally came back to his senses, his butt got off the stool, he leaned his waist and rolled his lips, and said quickly.

At the same time, the impact of this suggestion finally spread, and the uproar was so loud for the first time since Amostar walked into the courtroom.

Contrary to his expectations, there were not many supporters of the death penalty. Many wizards and people around him were blushing, wondering whether Peter should be sentenced to death or to life imprisonment.

"What is your opinion, Dumbledore?"

Seeing that old Barty didn't care about him at all, Fudge wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking of Dumbledore to express his opinion.

Such a drastic form of punishment as the death penalty has not been seen for many years. Once Pettigrew Peter made the first move, it would only do harm to Fudge, who was then the Minister of Magic. Everywhere!

"Now, let the jury vote!"

Batty had an insight into Connelly's intention to drag Albus into the water, and he didn't give him a chance. He looked up and asked the jury to vote immediately.

Peter's mind finally cleared up now, he covered his face and dared not look at those hands stretched out one after another, and the sound of crying was sharp and harsh.

None of the people sitting in the first row raised their hands, including Amosta, who couldn't afford to reveal his intentions in such a scene.

It was just a show, and Batty the Old didn't even expect the Wizengamot to approve the death penalty for Peter. He just wanted to express his tough attitude towards evil.

"Very well—a show of hands in favor of the life sentence of Peter Pettigrew—"

Barty Crouch said again with a sullen face, and this time, the proposal was proposed by the vast majority of people.

Peter howled, just now because of fear, but this time, because of joy!

He survived in the end, even in a terrible place like Azkaban, as long as he is alive, there is hope!

Peter was dragged away by several Aurors who were detaining him. Now that the trial result has been decided, these Aurors will immediately implement the Wizengamot's resolution. They will escort Peter to the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor underground, where there is a room Stores the Portkey to Azkaban.

Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, the death penalty was stopped, and the Ministry of Magic he led would not be criticized for this. Fudge gave Barty an ugly smile, indicating that he could end the trial, but Barty Crouch did something unexpected again.

Barty Crouch ignored Fudge's hint. He turned his head and looked at Sirius Black, who was regretting endlessly, with a look of disgust. His abrupt voice stunned the jury members who had just relaxed.

"Sirius Black, you will be charged with illegally studying and using the Animagus!"
