“You two! Are you trying to rebel?!” Umbridge shouted, turning around. “Open the door now!”
“Let’s go,” McGonagall said to Snape, patting her clothes off.
Immediately afterwards, the two walked into Hogwarts as if the invisible wall didn't exist at all.
“You two! Take another step and I’ll see! The Ministry of Magic is about to hold exams!” Umbridge shouted.
Although not explicitly stated, the implication was clear: do Hogwarts graduates want to pass the Ministry of Magic's entrance exams?! And even if they don't intend to come to the Ministry of Magic, as long as they're in the country's magical community, it's very easy for the Ministry of Magic to cause them trouble.
Fudge remained silent, and his expression suggested he was agreeing.
McGonagall turned around, her eyes filled with rage; Umbridge truly disgusted her.
Many students who heard Umbridge's words looked worried; after all, graduating from school is for the purpose of finding a job.
"Ivy, how many wizards are under this Ministry of Magic?" Robin suddenly asked.
There was a megaphone in front of Robin, clearly indicating that she wanted everyone to hear her voice clearly.
"There seem to be only a few thousand people," Ivy said, tilting her head.
"Oh~ a village-level organization? That gave me quite a shock. With such a grand presence, I thought they must have at least a hundred thousand people under their command," Robin said sarcastically.
"You're overthinking it. With their capabilities, they'd be struggling to manage even a few thousand people, let alone some mysterious figure." Ivy followed up, "An official department can't even handle a terrorist. If it were me, I would have buried my head in the blankets long ago, too ashamed to even leave the house."
"Insolence! Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't stay here! You two worthless bastards!" Umbridge cursed at Robin and Ivy, pointing her finger at them, her feigned girlish voice sounding distorted.
"Such an air of authority," Leona said, stepping out from the side. "Who are you going to make lose their job? You think you can make this old hag pretending to be young?!"
"With your outrageous aesthetic sense? Indeed, seeing you makes me lose all desire to survive and I just want to lie down on the ground. That's quite a powerful weapon."
"Why not just issue a decree that anyone who causes trouble will be married off directly, and the crime rate will drop to zero?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Immediately, the entire school erupted in laughter, and even Cassandra couldn't help but laugh.
Umbridge's face turned red with anger, and she pulled out her wand and collapsed to the ground!
The spell bounced off the air wall, its energy altered by the overwhelming fire power, instantly igniting all of Umbridge's hair.
Ha… Umbridge opened her mouth, and a puff of black smoke billowed out.
"Now, get out of here! Otherwise, next time it won't be your hair that gets burned!" Leona clenched her fist, and the Zenith Blade fell into her hand, pointing it straight at Umbridge as she shouted.
Intimidation was useless, and he couldn't beat her in a fight. Umbridge turned to look at Fudge, only to find that Fudge had somehow distanced himself from her.
As a typical politician, Fudge's skill in betraying his teammates was maxed out. At the same time, he also guessed that Leona, who came out, was the key person he needed to contact, a super expert who could wipe out all the Dementors in one move.
Umbridge seemed to realize something as well, and opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Why?! Why would someone from another world want to meddle in this?!
Chapter 329 Little Star, Accept Your Belated Judgment, Divine Edge Without Shadow!
Even after Umbridge was driven away, things didn't calm down at school. Not being able to take the Ministry of Magic's exams was a huge deal for some students, and no one could ask them for anything in that matter.
However, some things were already planned out before they happened, and Leona's refusal to name Fudge from beginning to end was an important foreshadowing.
Around noon, the passageway opened again, and this time it wasn't a student who came, but Sirius Black.
Sirius's slightly swollen body and dark circles under his eyes couldn't hide his excitement. He had completed some of the Human Alliance's checks on him, and the Human Alliance had also verified some of the things he said through other methods. Now it was time to resolve this matter.
"What do you need me for?" Lupin, who was preparing materials for the next class in his office, was pulled by Leona all the way toward Professor McGonagall's office.
"You'll know when we get there," Leona said mysteriously, refusing to say more.
Lu Ping sighed, said nothing more, and followed steadily behind, even quickening his pace slightly. He had a strange feeling, as if something big was about to happen.
After entering McGonagall's office, Lupin stood frozen in place. Sirius looked at his friend and waved, "Long time no see, Moonface. How have you been lately?"
"Why?! Why! Why did you do that!" Lupin was incredibly agitated, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched. He couldn't understand why, why one of his best friends would betray another friend of everyone else.
"Calm down, Professor Lupin, please calm down!" Leona patted Lupin on the back twice, causing him to involuntarily bend over and cough loudly.
“Now that everyone’s here, Sirius, you can speak now.” Leona gestured for Sirius to speak.
Sirius nodded and began to recount his true experiences. The story he told was completely different from the one known to people today, but it seemed quite logical at first glance, except that the despicable person had changed from him to someone else.
After hearing the story, Snape was somewhat taken aback, and everyone in the office looked at Leona speechlessly for a long time.
"This is the certificate issued by the People's Federation certifying this testimony." Leona took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table. Lupin grabbed it immediately. It contained various testing methods that Lupin couldn't understand, but he could understand the final conclusion: the witness did not engage in any subjective deception or concealment during the testimony.
“Don’t rush. This only means that Sirius didn’t lie subjectively, but whether it’s true or not still needs further investigation.” Leona spoke according to Merlin’s instructions. “And this investigation is very simple. We just need to see if that mouse is the so-called Sirius. I’ve already asked Ivy to borrow that mouse from Ron.”
Lupin kept his head down, not daring to look at Sirius. He couldn't imagine how much suffering Sirius had endured and how much grievance he had harbored all this time, if Sirius was right.
"Excuse me, I need to go out for a bit." Lu Ping's voice trembled as he placed the certificate back on the table and turned to leave.
Leona followed him outside, sensing that Lupin's current state was a bit off.
"Did you give him medication?" Lu Ping ran his hand through the creases of his clothes, but his hand trembled like a Parkinson's patient, and the creases not only didn't disappear, but actually multiplied.
“Oh? No, he was conscious the whole time, but when we told him he could come over, he asked the school hospital for a strong sedative,” Leona explained.
Lupin nodded. No wonder. He had thought Sirius's personality had changed drastically due to his long period of torment. Of course, it would be best if it hadn't.
"Teacher Leona, I brought the mouse." Ivy ran over step by step, carrying a cage in her hand, inside which was a mouse that had already fallen asleep.
Lupin stared intently at the mouse, which looked very much like Peter, and the missing limbs matched the reports and Sirius's words.
"Thank you for your help," Leona said, taking the cage.
“It’s no trouble at all.” Ivy smiled. She had thought it would take some explaining, but it went very smoothly. It was just a little strange that Ron kept his head down and his face was red the whole time.
“Let’s go in,” Leona said, patting Lupin on the shoulder.
After Leona placed the mouse on the office desk, everyone's attention immediately focused on it.
Sirius's muscles trembled, and the chair beneath him creaked. He was trying very hard to control himself and prevent himself from bursting out. To be honest, if he hadn't taken a tranquilizer, Sirius would have definitely rushed over the moment Peter appeared.
"It is indeed a Transfiguration Charm, it's Agmannis." Professor McGonagall rubbed her eyes and said. As a top expert in Transfiguration, when she got serious, she couldn't hide Peter Pettigrew's transformation from her.
Snape took a few hairs from the rat, then waved his wand, and nothing happened; the test was successful.
Agmannis, when transformed into an animal, is immune to a large portion of spells; this is a fairly common method of verification.
"Alright, alright, you guys disperse." Leona waved her hand, then took Merlin's badge from her pocket and pointed it at the mouse.
Forced Revealing Technique!
The spell accurately struck the unconscious Peter, who began to transform back into human form, bursting the pet cage. Throughout this process, Peter remained unconscious.
Leona blinked; the sleeping potion seemed to be working really well.
Just then, Sirius jumped up from his chair and punched Peter; he simply couldn't hold back anymore.
Lupin reacted quickly, grabbing Sirius in a tight hug. "Don't do it! Don't kill him! You can't go back to Azkaban! He's been exposed, and he'll get what he deserves!"
Sirius Black's eyes were red, and his fists were waving wildly in the air. He wanted nothing more than to tear Peter to pieces.
Fortunately, Lupin's comforting words and the tranquilizers worked. After venting some of his emotions, Sirius let his hands fall limply to his sides.
"How could I not have noticed! If I had, James and the others wouldn't have..." Sirius cried in his office.
The divine blade is invisible!
Just as Sirius calmed down, Snape drew his wand and cast a spell on Peter. The sharp spell sliced open Peter's body, and blood gushed out.
Snape's chest heaved violently. Lily, Lily died because of this hideous thing in front of him, he deserved to die!
Professor McGonagall quickly sprang into action, snatching the wand from Snape's hand, and the entire office descended into chaos.
Chapter 330 Who is it? Ta-da! A little yellow mouse!
Amidst the chaos in the office, Peter rolled off the desk and onto the floor, getting stepped on several times, leaving him covered in footprints.
Gradually, the chaos returned to order. It was a pity that Peter didn't die, but he couldn't die any longer, as he still had other uses.
A few days later, Hogwarts' teaching returned to normal, and Dumbledore remained the headmaster. Neither the Ministry of Magic nor the Hogwarts Board of Trustees mentioned changing the headmaster again.
"Have you read the latest issue of the Daily Prophet?" Fred asked mysteriously, holding up a newspaper.
George watched him from behind, his hands hidden behind his back.
"I've already seen it. Do you really need to tell me about something this big?" the classmate retorted disdainfully, while shaking the Daily Prophet in his hand.
This edition of the Daily Prophet has truly astonished all the wizards. Half of the first page of the Daily Prophet is filled with Fudge's photos, and the headlines are incredibly cheesy.
The most brilliant and capable Minister of Magic in history has solved the long-standing injustice against Sirius Black, Harry Potter's godfather.
According to reports, Fudge has been closely following Sirius Black's imprisonment in Azkaban without trial since the previous Minister of Magic, and has expressed great dissatisfaction with the former minister's actions, considering it a heinous act of disregarding the law and arbitrarily depriving someone of their freedom.
Under the wise leadership of Minister Fudge and with the joint efforts of many professors at Hogwarts, the truth finally came to light. It turned out that Peter Pettigrew was the criminal who betrayed James and Lily, and that he was the one who revealed James's hiding place to the mysterious man.
All honors and material rewards bestowed upon Peter Pettigrew by the previous Minister of Magic are hereby revoked. Peter Pettigrew will be thrown into Azkaban to become food for the few remaining Dementors. At the same time, all charges against Sirius Black are dropped, the arrest warrant for Sirius Black is lifted, and Sirius Black is awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class, as a reward for his indomitable resistance against evil forces.
At the same time, Minister Fudge instructed a second review of all the wrongdoings committed by the former minister's subordinates, to clear the names of every victim. Fudge stated that the Ministry of Magic is an institution that provides protection for all wizards, and although many things have become historical issues, he will still lead all members to work hard to set things right...
The Daily Prophet praised Fudge's responsible behavior throughout the entire article and continuously promoted him, attempting to reverse Fudge's image in the minds of the general public of wizards.
At the same time, all the wrong decisions made by the Ministry of Magic are being blamed on the former Minister of Magic. Anyway, he has already made enough mistakes, so it is reasonable for him to take the blame as well. Besides, it may not even be true that he is really taking the blame.
"That's not what I meant. Look at the next part, the report in the bottom right corner of the third edition, the one the size of a square," Freddy continued.
The classmate glanced at it with a hint of suspicion, then his eyes widened in surprise.
This report, hidden in the corner, is about Umbridge.
Following an internal review organized by Minister Fudge, it was discovered that Umbridge, a member of the Ministry of Magic, had repeatedly violated regulations and even harassed Hogwarts School based on personal relationships. Hogwarts is an important training ground for wizards, a transformative force in educational policy, and the future of the wizarding world. Umbridge's behavior has seriously crossed Minister Fudge's bottom line.
Umbridge is hereby suspended from all positions and will undergo re-education. The education exam will be graded by Professor Minerva McGonagall of Hogwarts. Only after passing the education exam will Umbridge be able to return to the Ministry of Magic as a regular employee. If she fails, the Ministry of Magic will dismiss her completely.
"Really?! That old woman's downfall?!" The student exclaimed in surprise. Their year was about to take the Ministry of Magic exams, and the events of the past few months had left them in a state of panic. Now, everything was over.
"Whoosh! Cheers!" George raised his hands, which had been hidden behind his back, and set off the fireworks. Bang, bang, bang, several fireworks exploded in the classroom.
Before the other students could cheer, Filch, who had been hiding to the side, suddenly jumped out and shouted, "Stop! Stop right there! I'm talking to you two!"
The moment Fred and George saw Filch, they turned and ran, their reaction speed was astonishing.
Meanwhile, in the Gryffindor third-year common room, Ron was somewhat dejected, and also felt a wave of lingering fear. His pet, which he had raised for so long, turned out to be a terrible criminal. Harry and Hermione were comforting him beside him.
"Hermione, is Ron there?" Ivy asked, peeking out from the doorway.
