Chapter 102 Professor McGonagall's Threat
Peter Pettigrew is dead.
This is an unmistakable thing.
The Peter that Rolf killed... was definitely not an impostor who used Polyjuice Potion. Whether it was an Animagus in mouse form or a silver arm, his identity could be proven.
So, who was it that sneaked into the Gryffindor lounge at almost the same time?
"Lies! Absolute lies!!"
After hearing the news of Peter's death, Fudge hurried to the principal's office and said in a decisive tone:
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]
"Those two sons of Arthur must be lying!!"
"Mr. Minister!" Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said seriously: "Mr. George Weiss and Fred Weiss both promised that they did not lie."
"Of course they won't admit it." Minister Fudge sneered:
"But think about it, why did Peter go to their dormitory? There is no intersection between the two parties... If Peter wants to sneak into Hogwarts, he should seek revenge from Rolf..."
Hearing this, Rolf, who was teasing Fox not far away, couldn't help but look up... Minister Fudge, thank you for the advice you gave Peter, and thank you for your eighteenth generation of ancestors.
Fudge didn't notice that Rolf was greeting the women in his family, and he was still talking:
"I just heard Snape say that Arthur's two sons like to play pranks. They must be deliberately attracting attention and want to make big news... I have seen this kind of students too many times!"
"Cornelly, I believe in my students." Dumbledore, sitting on the chair, said solemnly:
"George and Freed may like to do outrageous things on a daily basis, but in this regard, they will never lie."
Fudge was choked. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and muttered:
"That's because the dormitory was too dark at the time, and they misjudged the wrong person! Or, someone used Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Peter... Yes, it might be the accomplice who robbed him!"
Dumbledore didn't say anything, he just pointed the fingertips of his hands and put them on his chin.
Fudge continued to persuade:
"Albus, Peter is dead, and his body is in the school hospital. Do you believe what Arthur's son said, but not Rove?"
Dumbledore glanced at the young man who was minding his own business and said, "Of course I believe Rolf, I just don't suggest that you announce the news of Peter's death so arbitrarily."
"Why? Albus, since you also think Peter is dead, why don't you agree with me announcing this matter?" Fudge said impatiently:
"The people are scared, they all want to know the whereabouts of Peter. If they know that Peter is dead, they will feel at ease, and the pressure on the Ministry of Magic will be much less."
The last point is what Fudge values most.
After Peter Pettigrew was kidnapped, he was unable to return. Many political opponents began to criticize him, and some people accused him of being incompetent.
Fukiji needs to make this known to the public in order to rectify people's opinions and calm down the rumors.
"Of course, Albus, I know you are worried about the wizard who kidnapped him." Fudge softened his attitude and said:
"I assure you, the Ministry of Magic will not give up the pursuit. Now that he has sneaked into Hogwarts, he will definitely come back again. We will catch him."
Fudge picked up the hat and put it on his head. He hurriedly said:
"Okay, now I have to go back to the Ministry of Magic immediately. I have to summon those reporters and hold a press conference... It's been a busy night."
Fudge did not leave the office immediately. Instead, he walked towards Rove, grabbed his hand, and said enthusiastically:
"Well done, Rolf, you caught Peter again, beyond my expectations."
"Mr. Minister, it's not just me alone, but also my two friends." Luo Fe said softly.
"I remember those two girls." Fudge winked: "You lived with them during the summer vacation, no wonder you had to be willing to come to my house."
"Don't worry, I'll have the reward of 10,000 Galleons sent to you tomorrow...and your Merlin Order. Although you shouldn't reveal the information now, it's level one...it's certain."
Fudge took Luo Fei and chatted eagerly, and his name for the boy also changed. In the past, Luo Fei was considered his nephew, but now he is almost called brother.
"Rolf, come with me to the press conference. It was you who caught Peter. I can't do it without you..." Fudge invited.
Rolf shook his head and refused: "Mr. Fudge, I'm a little tired tonight and want to go to bed early."
"Okay then, take care of yourself."
After Fudge left the office with regret, Professor McGonagall followed him out, leaving only Rolf and Dumbledore in the room.
Luofu walked to the desk and sat on the chair. He asked softly:
"Professor Dumbledore, will there be any trouble if Fudge announces the news of Peter's death?"
"Yes...but not much." Dumbledore nodded and said: "The overall situation is still within the acceptable range."
"Who do you think the wizard who sneaked into George and Fred's dormitory would be?" Rolf asked in a low voice:
"Is it true that, as Minister Fudge guessed, it was Peter's companion who used Polyjuice Potion?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Dumbledore said calmly: "By the way, Rolf, I just heard some interesting things told to me by the old principals."
The principal paused for a moment and continued: "They said you brought Shirley and Hermione to my office not long ago?"
Luofu nodded and told him about using the time turner and the sniffing guardian angel.
"That guardian guided you to the Shrieking Shack?" Dumbledore crossed his fingers slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "Interesting... so interesting."
"Rolf, I must remind you, be careful when using Miss Granger's time-turner, and don't use it as your first choice to solve problems."
"I know, Professor." Luofu nodded and continued to ask: "Did you just go to the Forbidden Forest? What happened there?"
"I met Tom and had some conflicts with him." Dumbledore said solemnly:
"Rolf, I have some guesses, but I can't tell you. I'm worried that my thoughts will affect your future choices."
Rolf raised his eyebrows. This was the first time for Dumbledore to be the Riddler.
The young man thought for a moment and asked, "Is the Forbidden Forest dangerous now?"
If it's too dangerous, he won't take Shirley to take risks there anytime soon.
Dumbledore looked at Rolf, blinked his blue eyes, and said with a smile:
“As long as you stop taking several girls to the Forbidden Forest, there shouldn’t be much danger.
By the way, Professor McGonagall is really angry this time. She asked me to tell you that if you take Swinton and Miss Granger out for adventures in the middle of the night in the future, she will break your legs. "
