Chapter 0269 The action to rescue Sirius (Part )
After Harry used the disarming spell to take away his wand, he actually turned into a mouse. I asked the basilisk for help, and with the help of the snakes, I blocked the mouse and I caught it. "
Having said this, he raised the cage in his hand toward Dumbledore. Dumbledore looked at it carefully, his pupils shrank, and he asked: "This is"
Dana nodded and continued: "Then I went to the Shrieking Shack and retrieved the audio stone I had placed here at the beginning of the school year."
Seeing the confusion on Dumbledore's face, he explained: "I knew that the hole under the Whomping Willow leads to the Shrieking Shack, and I was also curious about the origin of the scream, so I placed an audio stone in it, hoping to reveal it. When I opened the mystery of the scream, I didn’t expect to accidentally record the truth of the matter.”
After finishing speaking, he handed the audio-visual stone to Dumbledore and said quickly: "You can take a closer look when you go back. In short, Sirius did not betray the Potters. The secret keeper was changed to Pettigrew at the last moment. He told Voldemort After the fall of Voldemort, he became a pet rat and has been hiding in the Weasley family to this day.
"The key now is how to deal with this matter. You must also know how difficult it is to get the Ministry of Magic to overturn the previous judgment. Even if it succeeds, it will leave a lot of consequences.
"After the case of Hagrid's Chamber of Secrets was overturned, the Ministry of Magic has been keeping an eye on him, which fully illustrates this point." Hearing this, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh.
"So I am going to let Fudge himself overturn the previous judgment of the Ministry of Magic. This is my bargaining chip and the benefit to him." He raised the cage in his hand to Dumbledore again.
Dumbledore understood what he meant instantly and said, "It would be great if it could be like this."
Dana said: "You have to try to know. If you want to succeed, you need your cooperation. First, you need to pretend to know nothing about these things. Second, it is best to find an opportunity for me to contact him privately. And be undisturbed for a while.”
Dumbledore agreed without hesitation: "Fudge will walk out of the castle in a while. You can seize the opportunity to convince him. I wish you good luck." After saying that, he canceled the barrier, turned around and returned to the castle.
He waited by the road, and sure enough, not long after, he saw Fudge walking out of the castle and walking towards this side. He shouted to Fudge: "Minister, great, I've finally waited for you."
Fudge looked here intently and saw that it was Dana. He was very happy and started talking like a chatterbox: "Did you know that Sirius Black has been captured? I'm going to call a dementor to help him." a kiss.
"Originally, Snape was going to shout, but Dumbledore insisted that the dementors were acting abnormally today, so I could only shout in person. As for making such a fuss, wasn't it just that he attacked Harry, and it didn't succeed?"
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking and asked doubtfully: "It's so late, why are you still staying outside?"
"I've been waiting for you, Minister. I have important information to report to you." Dana said mysteriously.
Now that he had plenty of time, he began to vividly tell Fudge about the whole incident, what he thought, and how unexpected the outcome was, with twists and turns and constant reversals. It was said in such a way that it was full of emotion and soul-stirring.
After hearing this, Fudge was stunned and asked in disbelief: "So it was Peter Pettigrew who took refuge in the mysterious man. It was Peter Pettigrew who blew up an entire street, not Black."
"Look at what you said, how dare I lie to you. There are images to prove it." Dana said while playing the images in the audio stone for Fudge. Fudge looked at the image, gradually recovering from the shock, and the expression on his face became uncertain.
After reading it, he asked: "Who else knows about this?"
Dana knew that he had bad intentions, so he should throw out the bait, otherwise it would be difficult to change his mind once he made up his mind.
He smiled and said: "I just told you, and I will follow your instructions later. However, after Peter turned into a mouse, he had bad luck and escaped into the snake's den, and I caught him."
"I feel like it's a hot potato. I'm afraid that if the dark wizards find out, I'll be retaliated against. So I might as well leave it to you and do whatever you want." After that, he stuffed the audio and video stone into Fudge's hand.
The hesitation on Fudge's face became even stronger, as if he was undecided, so he asked Dana: "What would you do if it were you?"
Dana said without hesitation: "Of course the verdict is overturned."
Fudge blurted out: "Isn't this good? How does this make the public view the Ministry of Magic? Where is the dignity of the Ministry of Magic?"
Dana pretended to be cautious and asked: "Minister, you were the one who decided this case." Fudge shook his head.
He continued to ask: "Then the person who made the decision was close to you and is from the same family."
Fudge said: "There is no closeness and there are conflicts."
Dana secretly laughed in his heart. Crouch was much more vocal about becoming minister than Fudge, but it was only after the incident that his son was a Death Eater came out that Fudge succeeded in becoming minister.
This must have left a knot in Fudge's heart. It is not surprising that there are contradictions.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I was shocked just now, thinking that it had something to do with you. This is even better. Some people cannot represent the Ministry of Magic. Only you can represent the Ministry of Magic.
"As long as you are fair and honest, the Ministry of Magic will be fair and honest. The mistakes in the past are not the Ministry's problem, but the problem of certain people. Besides, aren't you on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to bring things back to order?"
"You peeled off the cocoon, found out the truth, gave Black justice, and single-handedly caught the real criminal. When the people know the truth, I dare say that your prestige will not diminish, and they will love you even more."
Fudge was moved after Dana severed his personal relationship with the Ministry of Magic; and when he heard about the benefits he could gain from reversing the case, the balance in his heart immediately tilted in this direction.
The guy in front of me was pretty good, and I shouldn't have doubted him after the Buckbeak hearing. But fortunately, I didn't do anything. Otherwise, there would be one less person who thinks about himself so much.
The more he looked at the boy in front of him, the more he liked him. Fudge said kindly: "Well, you are right. To avoid retaliation in the future, leave this person to me. You must not mention what happened today to others in the future. .”
Dana looked like she was crying with gratitude, and said with choked sobs: "Minister, it's so kind of you to consider me so much. I will definitely repay you when I have the ability in the future."
Fudge waved his hand and said, "I'm very happy that you think so. You should go back and rest early."
Having achieved his goal, he resigned. Sirius should be satisfied, no longer wanted and can live in the sunshine. Fudge would also be satisfied, as this would bring him greater personal prestige. Dumbledore should also be satisfied, the Order of the Phoenix has returned a trustworthy person.
Dana himself was even more satisfied. Not only did he rescue Sirius, he also took the opportunity to maintain his relationship with Fudge. Kill multiple birds with one stone.
