The matter was over. After drinking a bottle of uplifting potion that was a bit harsh on the throat, my sleepy spirit cheered up. Harry did not need to intervene in the follow-up of Peter Pettigrew. It was more appropriate to leave matters dealing with the Ministry of Magic to Dumbledore. .
It's nothing more than a trial and conviction. There is no death penalty clause in the English wizarding world, and life imprisonment in Azkaban is the maximum punishment.
On the days when Harry was taking his final exams, a turbulent whirlpool of public opinion emerged outside Hogwarts. The real murderer of the Potters was found. Peter admitted all the crimes he had committed. Black's trial was naturally invalid, and the man who became Peter's scapegoat and stayed in Azkaban for eleven years was cleared of unfounded charges.
The Ministry of Magic's original and extremely sloppy trial has also been retraced by those who are interested.
The trial of Black helped Fudge's rise to power. At that time, there were two people competing for the position of Minister of Magic. One was the current Minister Cornelius Fudge, and the other was the former Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Barty Crouch is recognized by all as a very talented and capable quasi-minister candidate.
But unfortunately, Fudge tried Black, adding a colorful record to his resume, while the unlucky Barty Crouch was bloodied by his damn bastard son. As a loyal supporter of Voldemort, Barty Crouch Jr., a zealot and fanatical believer, personally destroyed all of his father's political dreams.
If Barty Crouch hadn't shown an absolutely selfless ruthlessness at that time, he personally sentenced his son to life imprisonment in Azkaban. If he hadn't taken such an extreme approach, he would probably have even stayed at the Ministry of Magic. Not going down.
But Fudge, who succeeded in taking office, is not a good person. He is good at making peace, making money and dirty political methods. The Fudge family behind him has made a lot of money during his ten years in power. In order to remain a minister for a long time, position, he secretly suppressed all those who might threaten his position. Nowadays, almost none of the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic in high positions are truly capable, except for Barty Crow who was demoted to the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Surprisingly, in the remaining departments, their top leaders are almost useless.
The Ministry of Magic, which was not doing very well in the first place, has completely turned into a piece of shit due to the efforts of Fudge, a crazy troublemaker. Without threatening his political opponents, Fudge only needs to stabilize the general stability of the magical world. He could sit in the position of minister without moving his butt. Let alone the unjust case ten years ago, even if Voldemort was resurrected, Fudge would dare to suppress this fatal news in order to continue to be minister.
But this time it was a pity. It was not only Dumbledore who sent Peter to the Ministry of Magic. Grindelwald, who had nothing to do, also stopped by. For the sake of the ministerial position under his butt, Fudge dared to have the courage to fight with Dumbledore. Lido was messing around, but when facing Grindelwald, the fat middle-aged man almost knelt down and kowtowed.
Grindelwald had killed eighty to one hundred of the high-ranking dignitaries in the wizarding world. Even if Merlin was resurrected, as long as Grindelwald gave the order, those lunatic fanatical saints of the Wiccan Party would still dare to draw their guns and fire on Merlin. In front of me, it’s not even a fart.
Fudge still cared more about the head on his shoulders than the chair sitting under his butt.
When the matter must be explained, Fudge is in a very sad situation at the moment. If there is only Peter Pettigrew, it will be easier for him to deal with it, but if Black is added,
The Black family was once the oldest member of the wizarding world in England, and the wealth they controlled was simply astronomical. Whether they were the headmaster of Hogwarts or the Minister of Magic, the surname Black appeared in the lists and directories, and their tentacles had already The Black family, which has penetrated into every aspect of England's magical world, can be said to be a master of all things.
The current Malfoy family is indeed rich in financial resources, but if compared with the Black family back then, it is not at the same level.
When this ancient wizard family perished and fell due to Voldemort, the younger brothers who once surrounded him showed their sharp teeth. It only took a moment to transform from obedient dogs to hungry wolves. In the face of interests, these wolves showed their sharp teeth. The greedy and ugly appearance of eating.
They divided up most of the Black family's real estate. Except for the ancestral home that could not find a place, they devoured all the Black family's external properties. Among them, the biggest beneficiary was the Malfoy family, who became a magician in the same year. Fudge, the minister, also bit into a huge piece of cake.
A huge cake that almost killed the Fudge family.
Now, what Fudge needs to do is not only release Black, he also needs to vomit out the wealth that he has finally digested. Grindelwald only glanced at him with a teasing look, but he still scared Fudge. Cold sweat.
But what he didn't know was that Grindelwald did this because of Dumbledore. Dumbledore, who didn't want to see the wizarding world become a river of blood, used Grindelwald to send some signals and already understood Harry's character. It's like he doesn't want to take any chances at all.
As a guy who is very compatible with Grindelwald, although Dumbledore has been in contact with Harry for a short time and cannot fully understand him, Dumbledore understands Grindelwald very well, regardless of the current Grindelwald. He is a great professor, funny and rigorous and reliable, but all of this is a disguise. He is still 'crazy' in his heart, but his ambition to achieve makes him suppress his unscrupulousness.
Chaotic evil does not mean that this person is a lunatic. Their actions are just to satisfy their inner 'happiness', and this happiness cannot be quantified. Therefore, chaos becomes the outer appearance. But once they want to do something, they will use any means to get this happiness.
Including restraining yourself from crazy chaos that can lead to discomfort.
'For the greater good'
This is not an empty slogan, but a binding oath that Grindelwald has set for himself.
Although Harry didn't say similar words, his actions had already shown everything. Letting Peter Pettigrew live in this world was not what Harry wanted, but he still sent him to the Ministry of Magic. Az Although Caban is sinister, it pales in comparison to the cheerful 'playing' between him and Grindelwald before.
Almost all the tortures recorded in human history have been performed, but even so, the two chaotic and funny characters still had more to say at the end. This madness and perversion in the eyes of others is the true portrayal of chaotic evil.
Dumbledore didn't know why he fell in love with Grindelwald at first sight. He had no idea why he could accept Grindelwald's friendship, even beyond friendship. But this happened, and the two characters were almost inseparable. Two completely opposite people actually seemed very happy when getting along.
The two personalities that were supposed to be polar opposites found a strange harmony and complementarity between them.
Harry cared about Sirius, and for this 'interest', he chose to let Peter stay alive. In Dumbledore's eyes, Black was Harry's 'greater interest' in suppressing the chaotic will in his heart. Dumbledore knew very well that Black was Harry's godfather. In his eyes, Black entered Azkaban 'voluntarily' because of his endless regret and despair. It was his punishment for himself.
It was he and James who chose to change the Secret Keeper at the last moment. It was precisely because of this choice that James, his brother, died in the hands of Voldemort. This unspeakable guilt destroyed his heart. Black, who is afraid to face the world, has only Azkaban.
After Black is released from prison, when he meets Harry, he will definitely give everything he has to Harry as compensation for his guilt. He is Harry's godfather, but he killed his godson's biological parents. Such a mistake He will try his best to make up for it.
His character determines that he will do this. The transformed creature of Animagus can be said to be a reflection of a wizard's heart. The timid Peter is a mouse, the somewhat reckless and aggressive James is a majestic stag, and Black The Animagus is a black dog as strong as a bear. Loyalty and protection are the true portrayal of his hidden heart.
Dumbledore made up all the guesses in his mind. The value of Black's survival was greater than the death of Peter Pettigrew. He thought Harry thought so. Now that this 'interest exchange' has appeared, he hopes that this exchange can be perfect. Advance.
For the sake of profit, Chaos Funny can suppress his nature and pretend to be a member of the Lawful Order. However, if this exchange of interests cannot be completed, Dumbledore has reason to believe that the guy who destroys this exchange will personally taste the benefits from Chaos. Funny's terrible revenge.
By then, there might really be a bloody scene, and if he really waited until then, it would be too late to take action.
After all, when that time comes, he may not be able to attack Harry. Grindelwald likes that kid, and he can't hate what he likes.
When the wizarding world in England is in bad luck, I guess I should take a vacation and go to a far away place to bask in the sun and enjoy the sun and the beach.
'This time it's my turn to save the wizarding world. '
Dumbledore smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head. Once the monster named Chaos Evil had a reason and excuse to be released,
Grindelwald had done this before, Voldemort had done this before, but Dumbledore didn't want to go through this terrible experience a third time.

I'm stuck. I can't write. It's so painful.
The plot in my mind is from the later part. There is a gap in the transition here. It was so uncomfortable to write.
Let's make do with 3K. I'll think about it when I go to work tomorrow and try to sort it out as soon as possible.
