"Yes, James and Lily ended up switching to me as the Secret Keeper." Peter Pettigrew made a few gasps and then spoke in a deadpan tone.

There was a slight hum in Courtroom Seven when Peter admitted that he was Peter Petrou. When he said that he was the Potter couple's secret keeper, the entire courtroom immediately "exploded". Still, there is a big difference between an adult wizard and a Hogwarts student.

After a brief din, they all exercised restraint, but a few couldn't help raising their fists and middle fingers at Peter.

Anyone who is concerned about the Sirius case knows that there is a key point in this case, and that is who the Potters chose to keep secret. With the protection of the Fidelity Curse, the mysterious man could not find the Potters, but he finally found it, which means that the secret keeper betrayed them.

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

Everyone thought it was Sirius Black before, but now the case is 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 in as calm a tone as possible: "After the mysterious man lost his power, why didn't you go far and fly, but instead lurked at the Weasleys' house?"

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

boom!

Now the wizards couldn't bear it anymore, and the roof of the entire courtroom was about to be toppled.

"Asshole!"

"The crime is extremely heinous and should be punished with death!"

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

Peter's behavior can be said to have uncovered the reverse scales of the wizards present and awakened their deepest fears. The wizards present were generally between forty and sixty years old. These people had experienced Grindelwald's era, and they didn't know the horror of the first Dark Lord. But they have all fully experienced the era when Voldemort was rampant, and truly felt the suffocating oppression and precariousness brought by Voldemort, and the separation of relatives and friends is the pain of farewell.

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 let go of a guy who tried to revive Voldemort.

They didn't rush down to beat Peter because of Dumbledore's face. But even with the Dumbledore Town venue, the crowd was excited.

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

"No." Peter replied bluntly, "The time has not yet 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 expected that the current wizarding world would be so terrified of Voldemort. It seemed that as long as he came back and raised his arms, the entire Ministry of Magic would immediately fall apart.

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

Now that the devil king is gone, the aftermath is shocking beyond the ordinary.

He regretted it a little now, why he didn't persist and send those guys who pretended not to be Death Eaters to Azkaban.

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

It can be said that I and the Order of the Phoenix were cornered by Riddle and his men back then. Families loyal to the Order of the Phoenix were uprooted one by one, and the elites in the Ministry of Magic also died one after another. The situation in the battle became more and more difficult, and it was normal for those pure-blood families to be shaken.

Dumbledore even felt that if Tom Riddle didn't believe in that prophecy, but developed steadily for a few more years, further weakening the power of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, then he and his servants would probably be able to directly attack Hogwarts .

Dumbledore seemed a little weak during that time, sticking to Hogwarts. Mainly because facing Voldemort, he was not sure of victory. If he loses, then the real event will be over, and everything will be over.

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

He believed that Riddle would definitely return, so why not try to control the progress of his return by himself? In this way, he can still fish, further weakening his power.

The battle with Voldemort was an overall confrontation between the good and the evil. If the Death Eaters could be weakened in advance, then Dumbledore would naturally not be relentless.

Fudge was very happy at this time. No matter what, the Azkaban escape incident has been solved by him—the fugitive is not guilty, so naturally he is not a fugitive, and the prison escape incident can be turned from here. Even better, he got news: the mysterious man has not been resurrected. That's great.

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

Fudge didn't want to ask any more questions. He believed that the current evidence was enough to convict, so he initiated a vote.

The result was not beyond his expectations. Almost all the wizards voted for it, and some who opposed it felt that Fudge's sentence was too light.

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

Seeing Peter Pettigrew gradually going away, Fudge showed a relieved smile. Suddenly there was a burst of loud applause behind him. He turned around and looked at the wizards present, and everyone's applause became more enthusiastic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we want to congratulate us for successfully stopping the plot of the dark wizard!" 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 Bones. She watched Fudge finish Peter's trial, and it seemed as if his popularity would rise to the next level.

It is impossible for my own impeachment to succeed! she thought to herself.
