Only then did Fudge discover Peter Pettigrew being tied up.

He looked at it doubtfully.

“Is this him?”

“This is Peter Pettigrew. He was the original secret keeper. It was he who betrayed my parents.”

“You wrongly blamed Sirius!” Harry said quickly.

At first, Fudge still harbored a trace of searching for the truth, but when he heard the word “wrong”, his brows frowned unconsciously.

“Wrong? No, no, no, my boy, the Ministry of Magic makes no mistakes.”

“But you just made the mistake of arresting Sirius into Azkaban, and gave Peter, the real criminal, a medal!” Harry said anxiously.

Little did he know that the more he spoke, the more dissatisfied Fudge became.

“Enough!” He let out a roar that surprised everyone.

After realizing his rudeness, he coughed, as if the person just now was not him.

“We will interrogate the specific situation. Delis, bring Black and the person suspected of Peter Pettigrew to…”

“There is a tower in the castle that can hold them.” Malvolio reminded appropriately.

Fudge was confused for a moment. He was still thinking of taking it back to the Ministry of Magic, but it would also work at Hogwarts, where the Dementors happened to be.

“Then just interrogate them in the castle first, and finally tell me the result. As for you,” Fudge turned his head, “Go back and have a good rest, and don’t run around at night.”

“What are you going to do to Sirius?” Harry noticed something was wrong with his attitude and still stopped in front of Black and asked.

Hermione and Ron also stood with him, looking at Fudge firmly.

“This is a necessary procedure, we are just doing a routine interrogation!” Fudge lost his patience and waved his hand, signaling Delis to take action.

Harry wanted to say something else, but Dumbledore stopped him.

“Harry, and Hermione, Ron is injured. Take him to the school hospital. Poppy is already waiting for you there.”

“And you, of course, Severus.”

Seeing the refusal in Dumbledore’s words, Harry nodded reluctantly.

“I prepared the potion myself.” Snape glanced proudly at Black, whose arm was held by Malvolio, shook his head, and strode away from here.

Seeing everyone finally focusing on him, Tver seemed to suddenly think of something.

“I’ll also go to the school hospital to see if there’s anything I can help with.”

After saying that, he looked at Dumbledore and left.

“That……”

“I’ll take you to the tower of the castle.” Looking at Fudge’s hesitant look, Dumbledore chuckled. “Of course, I will go back to the principal’s office for tea afterwards.”

Fudge smiled awkwardly when his little thoughts were seen through.

But Blake felt more and more strange.

Just as Harry felt, he also felt that Fudge seemed to be resisting the truth and unwilling to admit what happened to Wormtail.

This made him feel a little uneasy.

He didn’t mind going back to Azkaban, or being accused again, but he never wanted to see Wormtail escaping from trial in this situation!

What’s more, he didn’t want to see Harry’s good intentions towards him being let down by a politician!

That kid is exactly like James, and he can’t hide his thoughts at all.

When Blake came out of his memories, he discovered that he had been imprisoned at the top of a tower.

Even though he had accumulated rich experience in night tours in the castle for seven years, he couldn’t remember where this place was.

Of course, for such a remote place, just draw a map once, wouldn’t it be a punishment if you come back again?

Feeling the howling cold wind, he couldn’t help but tighten his clothes.

Even in June, the wind at night can still be very biting at high altitudes.

He can’t fall down because of some trivial things now…

And on the other side of the tower.

Fudge stood in front of the iron door where Peter was imprisoned, walking back and forth anxiously. As soon as he saw Malvolio coming out, he asked eagerly: “What was the result of the interrogation?”

Malvolio pursed his lips.

“It is indeed Peter Pettigrew. In order to confuse, um, the mysterious man, he changed the person to be the secret keeper and hid it.”

“Then why did this bastard hide away for twelve years? Can’t a few years be enough?!”

Fudge kicked his foot angrily.

Malvolio almost couldn’t hold back his laughter and bit his lip hard before restraining his movements.

“I guess Blake just escaped from prison last year.”

“I don’t care, I absolutely can’t let this matter get out!”

“But, you were not the minister back then, so what does it have to do with you?”

Fudge immediately smiled bitterly.

.

“Even if I wasn’t the one who first tried Black and awarded Peter the medal, those damn reporters will definitely blame me for this mistake. Do you understand?”

“I can’t let the Ministry of Magic be involved in this kind of scandal, at least not on my watch!”

From an angle that Fudge couldn’t see, the corners of Malvolio’s mouth raised a little.

Not only do I understand, there are people who have even guessed all your moves.

Of course, to this day, even if Tver did not remind him, Malvolio realized that Fudge was a pure politician who was greedy for power.

The so-called truth and facts are not important to him. Only maintaining his own power is the purpose of all his actions.

“So what do we do with Peter Pettigrew, and Black?”

Fudge immediately fell into thinking. After a long time, he turned around. The fierceness shining in his eyes could not be concealed even at night.

“Kill them and let the public know that Peter Pettigrew protected Harry for many years for his friend’s last wish, and finally bravely fought against Black who escaped from prison and tried to take revenge on Harry.”

“He was killed by Black just because of his lack of strength, but Black was also killed by the dementors who came later…”

“No, it’s us instead. We capture him and hand him over to the Dementors!”

Malvolio’s face finally showed a look of surprise. Fudge’s cruel thoughts were, to be honest, beyond his and Tver’s expectations.

“But there are so many people, including Dumbledore, who may know the truth. How do we cover their mouths?”

“Moreover, killing them will make us more likely to be questioned, allowing Black to easily break into the castle and kill the original hero.”

“…”

Fudge was stunned by the question.

He was just depressed for a moment and just wanted to express his inner dissatisfaction.

“What should we do?”

The corners of Malvolio’s mouth finally couldn’t help but turn up. .

“Maybe we can let this case drag on.”

“We just don’t admit the Ministry of Magic’s mistakes. As long as Peter Pettigrew ‘accidentally’ escaped, then we are not wrong until he is brought to justice. It’s just that what we did was not right at the beginning.”

“As for what to do if the escaped Peter is caught, won’t the initiative be in our hands by then?” He said in a bewitching voice.

But Fudge didn’t feel anything strange. On the contrary, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

“That’s right, not only do we want him to run away, we’d better make some noise and clear up our relationship!”

“I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll go find Dumbledore for tea and attract his attention.”

“Remember, you must not have anything to do with us!”

“Don’t worry, I will do it cleanly.” Malvolio watched Fudge leave with deep meaning.
