Chapter 178 Pressure
"for you."
Finny smiled and took the Veritaserum. At this time, Puff also pulled Pettigrew out of the box.
The moment he saw Pettigrew, Snape's face became very ugly, Fudge looked panicked, Dumbledore had a trace of amusement on his face, and many reporters smelled big news.
"No, that's impossible."
Fudge said in a panic,
But Finny ignored him, and instead waved his wand, tied Peter Pettigrew to a chair, and drank the Veritaserum.
"Who are you?"
"Peter Pettigrew,"
"How did you betray the Potter family back then?"
Afterwards, Peter Pettigrew told everything about how he betrayed the Potters, framed Sirius, and hid in the Weasley family.
This time, Fudge's face became even more ugly. Just when he was about to forcefully take Peter Pettigrew away to save everything, Feeny spoke again,
It was this time that Feeney spoke that completely shattered all Fudge's illusions.
"Dear journalists, I came here to let you hear the truth about that year. Please report this matter truthfully. I think the Ministry of Magic may communicate with one or two of you to try to get you to cover it up. The truth is to maintain their face and dignity. However, I think the Ministry of Magic is not as rich as the Black family, and there are so many families. If one of you does not report it, I will know it. When the time comes, I will naturally not What about the Ministry of Magic? It's just a newspaper."
Feeney's words were profound, and he had no intention of Fudge, who was livid beside him, and the little wizards below who were in an uproar.
At this time, the reporters also understood why Feeney had called reporters or editors from almost all magazines and newspapers in the wizarding world. This was to put pressure on the Ministry of Magic.
In this way, it would be impossible to suppress this matter, especially with the pressure and interference from the Black family.
After saying that, Feeney looked at Fudge and said,
"Now the evidence is here, and there is no doubt about the Veritaserum refined by Professor Snape. This is the truth of the matter. I ask the Ministry of Magic to release the heir of the Black family, Mr. Sirius Black. Otherwise, I will report it to the international community." The Wizards' Federation, the Wizengamot Council, and even the Council of Elders put forward opinions against you and the Ministry of Magic. Oh, by the way, in order to prevent accidents, I recorded the scene just now with a recording crystal, and there was more than one copy. "
"As for Peter Pettigrew, I suggest that he be sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss, and it will be held the day after tomorrow. During this period, in order to prevent some people in the Ministry of Magic from doing anything, I will put Peter Pettigrew in Hogwarts. , remember, I don’t trust the Ministry of Magic!”
Now that he has decided to offend the Ministry of Magic, Feeney doesn't mind offending him more severely. After all, they were the ones who chose to go against Black in the first place. Last year, they could stand on the side of the Richie family and try to put pressure on Feeney. , Feeney is very vindictive.
Because of Feeney's series of actions and the crowding and distrust in his words, Fudge's face could be said to be unreadable, black and livid,
His hands were shaking constantly, and some sweat was slowly dripping on his forehead.
He was angry and scared now, angry that Finny didn't take the Ministry of Magic seriously,
When Fudge first took office, he was not as greedy for power as he is now. However, he himself was a person with evil thoughts. After serving as a minister for a period of time, he longed for greater power.
Dumbledore, who had been restricting him, had begun to shift from defensive to targeted.
Up to now, he has completely ignored pure-blood families. In his opinion, as the British Minister of Magic, he is the most powerful person in the entire British magical world.
That's why he put pressure on Feeney through the Ministry of Magic last year. It was a pity that Feeney didn't take the Ministry of Magic seriously at that time.
Now they are completely regarded as decorations,
Although Fudge is also a pure-blood wizard, he was not born into a pure-blood family. In other words, his family itself is one of the smallest families in the magic world. Although it is not a single lineage, it has no background and no desire to join the upper class. Chance.
However, after Fudge became the Minister of Magic, he began to rely on his identity to enter the upper class society of pure-blood families, and began to fight for the interests and create conditions for his Fudge family.
It can be said that as long as he continues to work in this position, sooner or later, the Fudge family will become a Parkinson's-level family. Although it is still not as powerful as the Black and Selwyn families, it can be regarded as a pure-blood family. ,
However, now, Feeney's series of actions may very well end his wishful thinking, which makes him not angry.
And this was actually what he was afraid of. Although he was not responsible for what happened to Sirius back then. He was just a small clerk at that time.
However, in the final analysis, Sirius was sentenced to prison without a trial and even served eleven years unjustly. This was ultimately the Ministry of Magic's fault.
Once the Pettigrew incident comes out, the prestige of the Ministry of Magic will take an unprecedented hit, not to mention that Feeney bluntly stated in front of all reporters that he could not trust the Ministry of Magic, and even directly applied for an execution of no less than the death penalty for Peter Pettigrew. The Dementor's Kiss is all about the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic.
You know, once a big change happens in the Ministry of Magic, the first one to step down must be him, the Minister. He hasn't enjoyed the convenience brought to him by the Minister of Magic enough.
Finny's words are not a good thing for Fudge, but for many reporters, it is another matter.
After all, Peter Pettigrew is not dead, and he is still the real murderer. The Ministry of Magic wronged the heir of the Black family, the top family in the magic world, and awarded Peter Pettigrew a first-class medal of the Order of Merlin. This is definitely a big news, and it can even change the current situation of the magic world.
Not to mention that Finny's contempt and rejection of the Ministry of Magic are even more vivid, without any concealment, which is even a big news.
They even thought of the title, "Shock! The secret between Fudge and Black must be told" "The heir of a big family was imprisoned for no reason. Is this the decline of human nature or the distortion of morality" "What did the Ministry of Magic do to make Black publicly express that he no longer trusts it? 》
Thinking this way, the magic cameras in their hands continued to flash, recording the appearance of Peter Pettigrew, Finny, Dumbledore, and Fudge, who looked grim at the moment.
