Chapter 179 Conversation
You know, Finney just said that the matter of Peter Pettigrew will be reported tomorrow, and there are so many reporters, and the Ministry of Magic has no way to intervene. If any one of them does not report it, it means openly opposing the Black family.
Under such threats and inducements, how could many reporters not take notes seriously?
For this, Mr. Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler", who has a certain friendship with Finney, was very excited. His magazine itself has many articles targeting the Ministry of Magic. He was still thinking about how to edit it next. Today, Finney gave him such a big gift.
Unlike other newspapers that describe the matter itself, Lovegood prefers to dig deep into the deeper meaning of the matter, and he does not mind putting the blame on Fudge, the Minister of Magic. For example, his view that the minister used the excuse of sending the Black family heir to Azkaban in exchange for the support of other families will definitely be very attractive.
Of course, as always, "The Quibbler" may still be seen as a joke by others. After all, eleven years ago, Fudge was just a small clerk in the Ministry of Magic who could not even speak.
The news about Peter Pettigrew directly suppressed the news of the savior Harry Potter's return to the wizarding world. After all, compared to a child, everyone is more willing to see the various conspiracies and secrets of the wizarding world.
Dumbledore saw that Finny had almost dealt with the matter, so he waved his hand to signal Professor McGonagall to take the little wizards from various colleges back to their respective college common rooms, and he looked at Fudge and Finny and said with a smile,
"Now that everything is handled, why don't we go to my office for a cup of tea? I have some newly arrived cockroaches there, maybe you will like them..."
What Fudge heard was that Dumbledore was going to put pressure on him for Finny, and he snorted coldly,
"The Ministry of Magic still has a lot of things to deal with tonight, so I won't stay in Hogwarts any longer, goodbye."
After saying that, he turned and left. He didn't want to deal with Peter Pettigrew and Sirius right now, but he had to deal with it.
Finny pushed the Ministry of Magic to this point just to make them release Sirius, and at the fastest speed.
So, he was anxious to return to the Ministry of Magic because of this matter.
In fact, Lovegood's guess was not completely wrong. Furchi did have some deals with other pure-blood families, such as locking Sirius Black in Azkaban forever, and even looking for an opportunity to kill him there, in exchange for the support of other families.
If Finny knew about this, he would definitely shout that the enemy's heart to destroy us is not dead.
In fact, the purpose of those pure-blood families can be easily guessed.
Since Finny and his team can't move for the time being, they will first deal with Sirius, who has been kept and prepared for the final disposal, and then free up their hands to slowly deal with this little Phineas Black.
Unfortunately, Finney's current actions have made their plans come to nothing. Fudge went back anxiously to discuss with them what to do next.
The release of Sirius was inevitable, and the Ministry of Magic even needed to release him tomorrow. Otherwise, when all kinds of guarantees were issued, the Ministry of Magic would become the target of everyone in the magic world tomorrow.
Looking at Fudge who was leaving quickly, Dumbledore looked at Finney and asked with a smile,
"Then let's talk?"
Finney nodded and said,
"It just so happens that I have something to tell you, Professor."
The two left the auditorium and went to the principal's office. As for the reporters, after getting the news, they couldn't wait to leave and go back to type.
After Professor McGonagall sent all the Gryffindor students back to the common room, she let out a long sigh and reached out to wipe the cold sweat off her head. She had to thank Finny for his actions. Otherwise, Dumbledore would have asked everyone to sing the school song as in previous years.
That chorus without a tune, where everyone randomly chose a tune, was definitely not pleasant to listen to, and it was not even unpleasant to listen to. It was already a disaster and torture.
And all professors had the same view on this point, except Dumbledore. He liked this part very much.
But fortunately, Finny's actions this year made him forget about it. Fortunately, otherwise he would lose his hair again. Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall decided to go back to his office to eat a can of canned fish.
The sight returned to Finny again.
At this time, he and Dumbledore were sitting opposite each other in the principal's office, each holding a cup of black tea in one hand and a piece of cake in the other, enjoying it beautifully.
When it comes to sweets, Finny and Dumbledore have similar preferences. After all, this guy bought the production company of Dumbledore's favorite candy.
"Okay, tell me, where did you find Peter Pettigrew?"
Dumbledore ate a large piece of cake, drank a sip of black tea, and asked,
Finny smiled and said,
"Actually, he has always been in Hogwarts,"
Dumbledore was stunned. The control center of Hogwarts was above his room. How come he didn't find any trace of Peter Pettigrew?
Finny saw Dumbledore's doubts and said with a smile,
"It's not that you didn't notice it, professor, but you forgot one thing. The thing on your room is indeed very powerful, but it only shows our current form in the castle, not our names. Coincidentally, the map I made with that thing can't show our form and appearance, but it can show our names."
Dumbledore was stunned, and then he reacted. Yes, although the control center has the ability to recognize names, it usually shows the current appearance in the castle. In other words, if you don't go to investigate specifically, what you see is the normal state, and you can't see Animagus or compound potion.
"So he is an Animagus?"
Finny nodded and said,
"Well, the notebook that Sirius left at home recorded that they all practiced this magic, and also recorded some practice experience of this magic, as well as some secret methods of the Potter family, which can quickly practice this magic."
Dumbledore nodded. He had heard about this matter. The Potter family left behind a lot of good things.
"Then you gave Peter Pettigrew to me instead of the Ministry of Magic. Is it not just because the Ministry of Magic trusts you?"
Finny nodded and replied,
"It must be because you don't trust Fudge. There are many ways to get people out of Azkaban. At least I can do a few things."
