Hogwarts: Please graduate soon

Under Wayne's guidance, Fudge finally found the bright spot.

Yes.

All the mistakes were made by his predecessor and Barty Crouch Sr., and had nothing to do with him at the time.

In this case, if Sirius's case is overturned, the biggest blow will not be to him, but to the other two.

It can not only establish a character who hates evil, but also throw dirty water on the predecessor and former competitor, so what reason is there not to do it?

"Fudge...are you serious?"

As the person involved, Sirius was unable to react for a moment, and looked at Fudge with some suspicion:

"You don't want to stabilize Dumbledore, and then put me in Azkaban, do you?"

If he was alone before, as long as Peter Pettigrew was also arrested, he would die with him.

But it's different now. He still has to take care of Harry, and he can't let his godson live a helpless life.

"Mr. Black, you misunderstood me." Fudge said righteously: "Mr. Lawrence is right. People make mistakes, but should officials cover up their mistakes?"

"On the contrary, the mistakes of Ministry of Magic officials should be taken more seriously. Don't worry, I will not let any wizard who participated in your trial go!"

These words were powerful, and immediately made Sirius like Fudge more.

Dumbledore also came to his senses at this time and looked at Wayne strangely.

This guy must have grown up eating politicians, how could he grasp Fudge's pain points so accurately?

Wayne gave Dumbledore a look, and then looked at Fudge in surprise:

"Minister, you are completely different from the officials I remember. You want to do practical things."

"I will talk to Mrs. Greengrass when I go back and ask her to help you promote it... Don't let people misunderstand you."

Fudge was overjoyed to get the promise, "Mr. Lawrence, you are really considerate. With the help of the media, I believe the public will definitely support our work more."

"That's for sure." Wayne said with a smile, and suddenly showed a look of emotion

"This Peter Pettigrew is really hard to catch. I had a thrilling duel with him before I barely subdued him. If it weren't for the courage given to me by the Order of Merlin, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do it..."

"You..."

As soon as the voice came out, Peter Pettigrew found that he couldn't say anything, and even his mouth couldn't move.

Sirius was also confused.

Let’s not talk about whether the word “thrilling” is appropriate here, after all, you have come to the magic virtual.

And after this virtual figure came out, apart from beating up Snape and me, did it touch Peter Pettigrew’s hair?

Dumbledore also looked strange, he seemed to have guessed what Wayne wanted...

In other aspects, you can say that Fudge is a fool.

But when it comes toHe is definitely a shrewd man when it comes to exchanging interests, and what's more, Wayne is not hinting, but making it clear.

"The Ministry of Magic will not treat any meritorious official unfairly." Fudge said with a friendly smile:

"Mr. Lawrence, don't worry, I will apply for the second-level Order of Merlin for you after I go back..."

"Only second-level..." Wayne pouted unsatisfiedly, "Have you forgotten what you said at the Three Broomsticks?"

Fudge blinked and recalled for a long time before he remembered.

Looked a little embarrassed.

"First-level...it's still a little difficult."

"Let me be the recommender." Dumbledore suddenly said.

"Mr. Lawrence already has two second-level medals...I think we can try it. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to change to the second level."

"Okay then."

Fudge didn't refuse and agreed.

With him and Dumbledore as guarantors, there shouldn't be any big problems.

An exchange of interests was completed, no one was hurt, and everyone benefited from it.

Afterwards, several people discussed the details.

Fudge still wanted to take Sirius and Peter back. Before the retrial, the identities of both of them were very special.

But Dumbledore said that both of them were illegal Animagus, which greatly restrained the perception of Dementors.

And with the hatred of Dementors for Sirius, it is very likely that they will not obey orders and give him a kiss directly.

He can be responsible for watching over these two people until the day of the trial.

Fudge hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

It doesn't matter who is watching over them. If someone really runs away at that time, he can still not take responsibility.

Actually, this was a suggestion from Wayne. Dumbledore originally thought that Peter Pettigrew could be handed over to the Ministry of Magic first, but he rejected it.

This mouse is very slippery and has a unique ability to escape. If the Ministry of Magic is negligent, he might escape.

It is most appropriate to hand him over to Snape to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

If he can escape, Snape will be the first to commit suicide.

........

Half an hour later, Wayne and Fudge left the office.

Umbridge and a group of Aurors surrounded them.

Fudge extended his hand and smiled, "Mr. Lawrence, we'll see you on the day of the trial."

Wayne also extended his hand and shook his hand, "Well, Mr. Minister, when everything is settled, I believe you will definitely change the public's impression of the Ministry of Magic."

Yes, Wayne will also attend the trial of Peter Pettigrew as a witness. Not only that, because of the special nature of the Wizengamot, it is difficult to have a full staff every day, so the trial of Scrimgeour will also be held on the same day.

So Wayne is both the plaintiff and the witness.

The Scrimgeour incident did not actually cause Wayne and Fudge to become enemies.

Although these two people came together, it does not mean that they are from the same faction.

The man was beaten in front of Fudge, the Minister of Magic, which undoubtedly trampled on his dignity.

But... Scrimgeour was gone, and Fudge could finally appoint one of his own to take the position.

So, he chose someone who had been loyal to him since he became the Minister...

Kingsley Shacklebolt!

When Wayne knew Fudge's idea, he felt very subtle.

You are really good at picking people... You picked the backbone of the Order of the Phoenix at once.

He felt that the Ministry of Magic was like a winery now, and Fudge was gin. Except for him, everyone else had ulterior motives.

The only one who was loyal to him was Umbridge, who was as talented as vodka.

How pitiful...

"What are you looking at? Get out of the way." Feeling Umbridge's scrutiny, Wayne said with disgust.

"You!"

"Minister, what Dumbledore said just now makes sense..." Wayne ignored him and said directly to Fudge:

"You should carefully select the confidants you bring with you. If you don't know, you might think you have a hobby of raising toads."

"Pfft!"

I don't know which Auror laughed out loud.

Umbridge's angry face drooped. She looked over fiercely and saw that everyone had a strange look on their faces. She could only stare at them fiercely.

Fudge also felt a little embarrassed.

After Wayne said that, he also felt that he was quite embarrassed.

Other people have secretaries when they have something to do, and secretaries when they have nothing to do...

He... can't do this.

Wayne didn't say too much politeness and went directly to the cafeteria to show off his meal.

It was not until he disappeared around the corner that Umbridge retracted her resentful gaze.

"Headmaster, this Lawrence has no respect for you at all just because he has two medals. He doesn't take the Ministry of Magic seriously at all."

Fudge looked at her with a puzzled look.

"Who told you that Lawrence doesn't take the Ministry of Magic seriously because of the Order of Merlin?"

Umbridge asked in confusion: "Isn't it?"

"That's right, you can't even get close to it at your level." Fudge said something very hurtful, and then continued:

"Lawrence does not take the Ministry of Magic seriously, that's because of his background, and it has nothing to do with the Order of Merlin."

"That thing... I guess it's just a child's interest."

Thinking that Umbridge was usually quite useful, he kindly reminded her: "Remember, don't provoke this person in the future, otherwise even I can't protect you."

"You and he are not people of the same level, so don't humiliate yourself."

After saying that, he looked at the Aurors behind him: "And you, Scrimgeour ended up like this because he provoked him. If you meet someone like Lawrence in the future,Things related to Lance must be handled politely. "

"Don't think you can use your power to oppress others just because you are an Auror."

He said the last few words with great emphasis, and everyone was also shocked.

Scrimgeour's sudden downfall caught many people off guard, thinking that it was just a mistake in a security meeting and would not be punished so severely.

But now... they have discovered that the twists and turns inside are not that simple.

........

Because today is Monday, Wayne has no classes in the afternoon, so he went directly to the kitchen to eat something and then went back to the dormitory to make up for his sleep.

It was not until the others finished their classes in the afternoon that he was dragged out of the common room by Harry.

Hermione also followed, and she was also curious about where Wayne had been all morning.

"Wayne, what's the result?" Harry asked nervously.

"It still takes a retrial to confirm Sirius' innocence, but it doesn't matter if these few days are enough. "Wayne said, "You can go to the principal's office to see him recently, but don't tell anyone else."

"Sirius is still a criminal now. Once it is revealed that he is still in school, there will definitely be a lot of trouble."

"I understand." Harry nodded excitedly, thanked Wayne again, and left in a hurry.

Seeing that the child was so happy, Wayne did not take out the recording to ask for debt.

Let him be happy for a few days.

After Harry left, Hermione finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "You just said Black was innocent? What happened?"

Wayne pinched her cheek, causing the little witch to scold.

"When everyone is together in the evening, I will explain it to you together, otherwise I don't know how many times I have to say it. ”

Faced with such a big gossip, Hermione was also very worried and rushed to find other girls.

An hour later, the small world in the suitcase.

Garnado prepared a table of sumptuous food, and Wayne took advantage of her cooking to tell the whole story.

After listening, the girls had different reactions.

"Peter Pettigrew is so shameless! He betrayed his friends just because he was afraid of death!" This is Hermione.

"Black is so pitiful... He obviously doesn't have to suffer so much." This is Qiu.

"He and James Potter are too arrogant, but... Who would have thought it." This is Penelope.

"Professor Lupin is actually a werewolf? "This is Astoria.

Seeing her silly and cute look, everyone who was originally sad because of the story just now couldn't help laughing.

"Astoria, Snape has hinted so obviously, haven't you thought of it yet?"

Hermione asked first: "He should have taught you Defense Against the Dark Arts class, right?"

"Yes." Fu Loli nodded obediently.

"Does every class teach knowledge related to werewolves?"

"Yeah. "Fu Loli continued to nod.

"Then you match the time when Professor Lupin disappears every month with some characteristics, and then think about it?"

Astoria tilted her head and thought for a long time, and finally realized: "So that's it!"

She stared at Qiu and Penelope with big eyes in surprise: "Do you all know it?"

Qiu smiled helplessly: "Professor Snape's hint is too obvious, it's hard not to know."

"Not only us, many careful students should have discovered it."

"But this is already the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor we can meet, so everyone tacitly didn't say it out." Qiu sighed.

Apart from Lupin's identity, he is really an excellent professor.

"What a fool. "Wayne smiled and ruffled Astoria's white hair, and the girl threw herself into his arms unwillingly.

Everyone had thought of it, but she hadn't, which really made Fu Loli a little embarrassed.

........

In the next few days, everyone was surprised to find that the Dementors had actually withdrawn from the school. They all speculated whether Sirius had been captured, or whether they had obtained clues about him from other places.

The few people who knew the inside story were also reminded by Dumbledore not to reveal any 513 information.

And Ha Harry has been running to the principal's office very frequently these days.

Before the students go on holiday, Sirius and Dumbledore will stay here, and Harry will come to chat with him every day under the pretext of asking for advice.

Dumbledore is also happy to see this happen, so that the two can cultivate their relationship.

However, he rejected Sirius's request to take Harry away from his aunt's house, which made both of them very depressed.

Compared to their depression, Snape was rarely in high spirits.

Peter Pettigrew was not taken away, and Dumbledore would The man was handed over to him for care.

Even if Peter fought desperately, no one would care about the request of a prisoner.

In order to entertain this old friend for a few more days, Snape rented Wayne's Whip of Kindness until the holiday with all the test scores of the Potions class in the next few years as rent.

It's not that he can't use the Cruciatus Curse, but he is afraid that his Cruciatus Curse is too hateful and he will accidentally torture Peter Pettigrew into an idiot.

Although this is a relief, but... Dumbledore will not let him go.

Snape knew how much hope and tolerance Dumbledore had for Sirius and the dead James.

Lawrence's whip was still good. Although it was as painful as being hit by the Cruciatus Curse, it would not drive people crazy.

The last potions class before the exam.

Snape entered the classroom as usual, dragging his long robe.

With a wave of his hand, an extremely complex potion formula appeared on the blackboard. It was a nutrient solution specially prepared for highly poisonous plants. .

ClassmateThey looked at the long process with their eyes wide open.

Shouldn't we review today?

Why do we have to make such a difficult potion?

Snape didn't mean to explain this. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "No need to divide into groups, each person can practice with one material."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I won't deduct anyone's points in this class. Even if the materials are wasted, I don't care..."

"I just need you to give full play to your wild and unconstrained creativity... Don't follow the process rigidly..."

"Remember, a true potion master is never limited to a fixed formula."

"Let's start now!"

The students looked at each other, wondering what he was crazy about today.

Wayne guessed something, and his expression was a little strange. He was the first to get up and get the materials.

The other students dared to move.

What surprised them even more was that, throughout the entire class, Snape actually did as he promised, and did not reprimand any student for violating regulations. He even encouraged everyone to be bolder and more unrestrained.

So, everyone's potions rushed in an unknown direction...

Looking at the things in Toby and Norman's pots that were completely unrecognizable, Snape smiled with satisfaction.

Things that even he, the potion master, could not distinguish the medicinal properties of were just right for Peter Pettigrew to test.

After all, if you always whip people with a whip, your hands will get tired...
