"It's appalling... appalling... Albus, you didn't tell me this before you came..."

"Believe me, Connelly, I know it not much earlier than you do..."

Kyle stood at the door and listened to the conversation between the two people inside. He raised his hand and knocked on the oak door of the principal's office.

Soon, the door was opened.

In the headmaster's office, Cornelius Fudge sat opposite Dumbledore, looking a little nervous...

Two days before the holiday, Dumbledore and Sirius finally came back. Without Kyle saying anything, Dumbledore wrote a letter to the Ministry of Magic and found an excuse to trick Fudge into coming to Hogwarts.

Kyle originally thought that Dumbledore could handle the rest of the matter himself, but just as he was about to leave, Professor McGonagall came running and said the headmaster wanted to see him.

Looking at Kyle standing at the door, Fudge frowned and said, "Dumbledore, this is..."

"Kyle was the first person to discover that there was something wrong with the rat." Dumbledore said with a smile, "So I asked him to come as well. If there are any details I can't think of, he can help you solve them."

"Oh, that's remarkable..." said Fudge absentmindedly.

Kyle noticed that the Pensieve, which had been kept in the cabinet, was taken out. Apparently, the two had already looked at Peter Pettigrew's memories before he came in.

"Albus, you really gave me a big problem..."

Fudge glanced at Kyle and said hesitantly, “Peter Pettigrew is a member of the Order of Merlin, First Class, for twelve years.

And we've had Sirius Black for a year... If I told everyone at this point that they were mistaken for an identity, I'd be inundated with Howlers."

"It's not easy to be the Minister of Magic. I have to deal with a lot of things every day." Fudge turned his hat and said, "Is it possible that the mouse's memory is false... and you also said that it can't change back. No one can prove that it is an illegal Animagus... right?"

"You are right, Cornelius." Dumbledore sighed and agreed, "It has eaten too many Mandrake leaves. This is indeed a difficult problem to solve. I think you may not be able to solve it.

It's a pity for Sirius. Not only was he imprisoned for twelve years in vain, but he was also constantly hunted by Dementors. "

Fudge looked up, somewhat surprised.

He thought Dumbledore was going to argue with him, and he had even thought of an excuse to shirk responsibility. But he didn't expect things to turn around, and from what he heard, it seemed that he was not going to care anymore.

"Well..." Fudge said calmly, "I thought about it and felt that what you said before was right. Dementors are not suitable to stay so close to Hogwarts... I will take them away when I go back this time."

"Thank you very much, Cornelius," Dumbledore said, rising and winking at Kyle obliquely.

So Kyle also stood up, cleared his throat, and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear: "What a pity, you were not the minister twelve years ago, otherwise... I believe this kind of mistake would not have happened."

The expression on Fudge's face froze.

Kyle's words suddenly reminded him.

Yes, twelve years ago, it was not him who gave the order to arrest Sirius, and he was not even involved in the whole process.

Fudge thought a lot, but his expression didn't change at all.

"You must have discussed this beforehand." He looked at Dumbledore unhappily, "and I suppose this must have been your idea."

"I'm sorry Cornelius, I don't understand what you mean." Dumbledore asked in surprise, "Did we do anything?"

"Don't pretend, you cunning guy." Fudge laughed, "You taught Kyle to say those words. It seems that he is praising me, but in fact, it is to make me agree to re-examine Blake's case."

"You misunderstood, Cornelius." Dumbledore said with a strange expression, "I didn't teach Kyle to say these things..."

"Oh?" Fudge smiled, as if he saw through everything. "Kyle is a good boy, he doesn't have so many tricks."

Kyle seemed not to have heard it, and seemed to agree, "Mr. Minister, that's not what I meant... I really think you are a good minister."

"Well, I have to admit that I was fooled." Fudge sat back in his chair and put his top hat beside him.

"The Black incident was indeed a negligence of the Ministry of Magic. As the current Minister, it is my responsibility to correct this mistake."

"Cornelly, do you agree to a retrial?" Dumbledore asked.

"Isn't this what you want to see?" Fudge said, "But before that, we must find Black first..."

Before he finished speaking, a ragged man walked out from the corner of the principal's office.

It was none other than Sirius Black.

Subconsciously, Fudge jumped up from his chair nervously and opened his mouth to call for help.

But he reacted quickly, and the hand that reached for the wand turned inconspicuously and unbuttoned a button on his collar. At the same time, he looked at Dumbledore with a strange look, as if to say... we've even found the person, and you still say it wasn't your idea?

Dumbledore did not refute, but just said:

"When I found him, he was fighting two Death Eaters..."

"Wait a minute," Fudge interrupted him, "Black stole someone else's wand?"

"It was precisely because he didn't do that..." Dumbledore said, "that the process was very dangerous, but fortunately he did it..."

Blake dragged out two unconscious people from the corner. Their faces were covered with bruises, and it was obvious at a glance that they were knocked unconscious.

Fudge examined it carefully.

There is no Dark Mark on their wrists, so they are probably not important people. However, since Dumbledore is here, it means they must be Death Eaters. When the time comes, we just need to let the Aurors take a look and they will be able to confirm their identities.

"Because Black can't move around right now..." Dumbledore said, "So Connery, can you help take these two people back to the Ministry of Magic when you go back? This is also his idea."

"I take it back?" Fudge's eyes lit up. "Oh, of course, no problem. That's what I should do."

He looked very happy. "He was avoiding the capture of the Dementors, but he still did not forget to fight the Death Eaters. I now believe that he was really wronged."

"Whether he was wrongly accused or not, we need to investigate further." Dumbledore said, "I will take care of him for the time being, okay?"

"That would be great," said Fudge, "but how are we going to investigate..."

He looked at the cage on the table, "The Wizengamot will not trust the memory of a rat, and I cannot change that even if I am the Minister of Magic.

Besides, it would be useless even if Black asked for Veritaserum if he couldn't see Peter Pettigrew himself."

"You can rest assured about that," said Dumbledore. "We have found a way to restore Peter, but it will take some time."

"Of course that's no problem." Fudge glanced at the two Death Eaters who were tied together. "If there's anything you need help from the Ministry of Magic, just ask... Like I said just now, this was a mistake made by the Ministry of Magic after all, and I'm happy to make up for it for them."

Dumbledore raised his head slightly...From what Fudge said, it seemed that he was sure that Black was wrongly accused.
