I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 192 Exchange of Interests (The previous chapter number was wrong)
There is a saying that goes, if a man is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm. Snape is obviously the kind of person who is ruthless but doesn't talk much. After all, when he is ruthless, he can act as a double agent under the noses of the world's strongest devil and the world's strongest white wizard.

This kind of work can only be done by people with great perseverance.

Peter Pettigrew obviously knew how cruel Snape was. He tried to resist the truth serum, but he was simply unable to do so. Snape used some kind of magic, but his throat was like a funnel, and the truth serum dripping from Snape's hand flowed into his stomach.

Uncomfortable, really uncomfortable, this was Peter's first feeling. The second feeling was that he felt better than ever before.

How should I describe it specifically? It's like all my defenses have been removed in an instant, and I want to get everything off my chest right away.

Under Snape's interrogation, Peter Pettigrew spilled the beans, telling everything he had done without holding back, even down to the exact minute and second when he informed Voldemort of the secret.

Snape's hand holding the bottle of truth serum trembled slightly, his eyes burned with a strong fire and extreme disgust. He really couldn't imagine why there would be such a shameless coward...

"You're a disgrace to Gryffindor!" Hermione trembled and whispered to Peter, "I really can't understand how you were sorted into Gryffindor—"

There is something wrong with what you said, it's like saying someone gave Pettigrew a backdoor.

"Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to betray your friends, Hermione." Louis said with a chuckle.

After a long silence, Fudge finally spoke: "Okay, but the Ministry of Magic will not agree with Peter Pettigrew's one-sided statement for the time being, nor will it drop the charges against Black. After all, it happened a long time ago, and a series of procedures such as collecting evidence will take time..."

"Why!" Harry questioned excitedly, "But Peter Pettigrew has confessed under the influence of truth serum, so why can't it prove Sirius' innocence?"

"Harry." Fudge looked at Harry who was a little out of control and said with a smile, "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. After all, the Ministry of Magic is a legitimate institution in the wizarding world. All matters should be handled according to procedures and laws. If everyone pursues special treatment like this, then how can the order of the Ministry of Magic be maintained?"

Louis held back Harry who wanted to continue arguing, stood up and glanced at Dumbledore. After receiving a nod of affirmation, he smiled and said to Fudge, "Minister, may I have a word with you?"

Dumbledore understood that the more he interrupted in this matter, the more Fudge would be alert. It would be better to let Louis do it. At least now Louis would not be suspected by Fudge like he was.

Louis naturally knew this truth. He and Dumbledore had a tacit understanding that would make old Louis jealous.

"Of course." Fudge didn't think that Louis would do anything bad to him. After all, Louis was also a well-known nobleman.

Outside the door, Louis casually set up a soundproof barrier.

"Actually, this matter has no impact on you, Mr. Minister." Louis said straight to the point.

"Your Highness is really a man of few words." Fudge was a little surprised. It was the first time he met an old Londoner who spoke without beating around the bush and got straight to the point.

Generally speaking, a true Englishman is much more slow in speaking and doing things than two or three Seres put together.

But he did not express his opinion at the beginning, and was ready to wait and see what Louis was going to say.

"In fact, let's look at it this way, Your Excellency." Louis said with a smile: "In any case, this wrongful conviction is the fault of the Ministry of Magic—" Seeing Fudge frown, Louis chuckled again and continued to explain: "But it was not the Ministry of Magic under your leadership that made the wrongful conviction, but the former Minister Millicent Barnold."

"So, admitting this unjust case will do you a lot of good. First, it will improve your image in the eyes of ordinary wizards in the wizarding world and increase your support rate. Second, it will also continue to consolidate your position as minister. Sirius is now the only male in the Black family. Even if he is removed because of a misunderstanding, the family is still connected. I believe the Black family will definitely repay you."

Seeing that Fudge was somewhat interested, Louis continued to warm up: "Of course, you know that I also have a small business under my control. I will let the Daily Prophet do its best to report truthfully how the Minister withstood tremendous pressure, defied power, set things right, and redressed the injustice of the real hero... and..."

Louis used his trump card, which was definitely a reason that Fudge could not refuse: "It was through the suspicion and intelligence you provided that Hogwarts successfully captured the real murderer, Peter Pettigrew."

As for Fudge, he won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. He cherishes his body when doing big things, but forgets his life when seeing small profits. This sentence describes him very accurately.

Fudge was stunned, and then a happy smile spread across his face. This was the first time he had truly smiled since he saw Peter. "Well, as the Minister of Magic, this is what I should do. There is no need to write down these details, right?"

That being said, it definitely cannot be understood in that way, as Louis saw through what Fudge was thinking at a glance.

Louis tried his best to hide Dumbledore in this conversation, mainly because he was afraid that Dumbledore would irritate Fudge's fragile nerves. He said with a smile: "Of course I understand that the Minister is not greedy for fame and fortune. Of course, there is a similar story in my mother's hometown. Do you want to listen to it?"

"Of course I would." Fudge knew that the benefits were inevitable, so he was in a good mood and didn't mind listening to Louis's more words.

There won’t be any missing pieces of meat.

"Two thousand years ago, there was a philosopher named Kensius in Seris. He had many disciples, but this story is about two of them, one of whom was named Rhodes and the other was named Tribute.

One day, Rod saw a child drowning on the road, so he jumped in to save the child. In order to thank him, the child's father gave him a cow. When his classmates found out, they expressed dissatisfaction, thinking that he was greedy for money, but his teacher Kensius was very happy, because he felt that such behavior was equivalent to announcing to the society that as long as you do good things, you will be rewarded, which will stimulate others to do more good things.

When Tribout was traveling abroad, he saw his countrymen enslaved, so he paid out of his own pocket to redeem them, but when he returned home he did not report the cost to the government. People at the time praised him for his noble character, but Kensius disagreed. He believed that such behavior would prevent more people who were enslaved in foreign countries from being redeemed, because Tribout's behavior was the first. If he reported the cost to the government after redeeming the slaves, it would show that his character was not noble enough. In this way, some people would pretend not to see it and stop redeeming their countrymen. "

Fudge nodded with an understanding look on his face. Seeing that what he said was on point, Louis continued with a smile, "So even if you don't care about this little reputation, you still have to consider the social atmosphere of the entire wizarding world, right? After all, as the Minister of Magic, you are a role model for the wizarding world. We hope that everyone will be a moral role model like you, but we can't force everyone to be a moral role model."

Louis' ability to lie with open eyes was something he learned from Arnold when he was a child. At that time, Arnold was the chief secretary of the cabinet. Because Arnold had served on his grandfather's ship, he treated Louis as his own child and taught him by example.

It is not realistic to say that Louis has learned all of Arnold's skills. After all, he is still young and has not had much experience. But it is also false to say that he has learned nothing. He is not a fool. How could he have learned nothing? At least he has learned the moral vacuum thoroughly.

After all, Teacher Arnold is GCMG, the man God calls me God.

"Haha... then I won't refuse this credit." Fudge smiled with satisfaction. He originally thought that the Blake case would be a huge and difficult case, but he didn't expect that with Louis's few words to resolve it, it would develop in a direction that was favorable to him.

I really didn’t expect that.

"I heard that there are still many officials in the Ministry of Magic who handled the case back then." Louis said this indifferently but meaningfully: "It seems that they were all promoted by the former minister?"

"Thank you, Your Highness Louis." Fudge's face suddenly became very serious. Louis' last sentence was like an epiphany. Only now did he realize how big the bargaining chip Louis offered was - to clean up the family legitimately, which was something he had never dared to think about before.

"Don't worry, there will be a reply within three days at most." Fudge promised and returned to the office with him.

He was met with an anxious look from Harry.

"What's up, Louis..." He was really scared. He was afraid that his relatives, who had finally been saved, would never be vindicated because of procedural issues.

Louis didn't say anything. Instead, Fudge smiled and said, "Don't worry, Harry. His Highness Louis has explained your situation to me in detail. The Ministry of Magic also understands your situation very well and will clear Black's grievances as soon as possible."

"After I get back, I will immediately order everyone to act together... Of course, for safety reasons, Black and Peter will stay in Hogwarts first. I believe that nothing will go wrong in Hogwarts."

After saying that, he said hello to Dumbledore and left Hogwarts in a hurry.

"What...what did you say to the Minister? Why did his attitude change so quickly?" Hermione asked hesitantly.

"Don't ask too much about social affairs." Louis smiled in a somewhat mysterious manner.

Peter was eventually imprisoned in the headmaster's office, under the watch of Fawkes, Dumbledore and other Hogwarts headmasters. Black stayed in Hogwarts temporarily, sleeping with Lupin.

Today was just a few days after the full moon night, so Black still had at least twenty days to live in harmony with Lupin.

Harry felt a little reluctant to leave Sirius, and until everyone left the office, he and the three little ones still sat next to Sirius and Lupin, chatting endlessly.

"I say, you guys have had enough...are you still going to sleep?" Louis looked up at the clock. Wow, it was already one in the middle of the night: "Tomorrow... oh yes, tomorrow is Saturday, so you guys have to pay attention too. Minors need to rest..."

"Okay, little deer." Catherine came out of the bedroom at this time, said something to Louis in a reproachful way, and turned to Blake and the others: "This is Uncle Blake, right?"

"Hello." Blake nodded and pointed at Catherine in a daze: "Oh... you should be the daughter of that old... Solanlian!"

You want to talk about old women, right?

"Yes, my mother is Solanlian Volley." Catherine didn't care what Blake said about her mother. After all, that woman was not a good person in her eyes.

Humph, a bad woman who wants to compete with her daughter...

"So she is the eldest daughter of the Wally family. She is as beautiful as the legend says, and a perfect match for Louis." Sirius spoke very sweetly, knowing who had the final say in this office.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words 'a good match for Louis', Catherine no longer hated the fact that Sirius was still here so late at night.

"Thank you for your compliment, Uncle Black." Catherine smiled shyly and went back to the kitchen: "I'll make you some dessert."

Louis sat on the sofa with his arms and legs spread out, showing off to Blake: "How about my girlfriend, isn't she pretty?"

Who knew that Sirius snorted and said something that neither he nor Catherine could refute or give any reason for.

"Not as pretty as your mother."

What? So you and Professor Snape have the same attribute?
"You should pay more attention to yourself and Harry. There are six people in this room, and you and your son are the only single ones." Louis complained with a look of disgust.

Harry's face flushed, but Sirius didn't care. He patted his godson on the shoulder and said with a smile, "See? Louis is making fun of you for being single. So, do you have a girl you like?"

Harry thought about it, and the image of Zhang Qiu appeared in his mind. He nodded, then thought of Cedric and shook his head hurriedly.

"Look, do you have it or not?" Sirius was also annoyed by Harry's nodding and shaking his head. He patted his skinny chest and said proudly, "Back then, your godfather was a playboy at Hogwarts. Many girls had a crush on me..."

Hermione couldn't help but interrupt, "But you still failed to win Aunt Emma's heart, did you?"

Sirius was choked and choked hard.

Louis looked at Hermione who had killed the opponent with one blow, and then looked at Ron. Could it be that a bad mouth was contagious?
