Chapter 350 (1/2)
Wessengamo's trial of Pettigrew was obviously not satisfactory to the people of the magic world.
Many people expressed great concern about such a bad incident. On the day after the trial results were announced, the prophet daily received a large number of letters from radical people.
They asked wiesengamo to take back the judgment of the first instance and severely punish Peter Pettigrew. The voice of capital punishment was the highest.
In their eyes, the punishment for Peter Pettigrew was too mild.
A murderer who has cheated the magic world for 12 years violates more than one or two laws.
He framed Sirius Black, destroyed the Black family, betrayed the magic world, sold information to Voldemort, and violated the Muggle protection law and cast unforgivable curse.
Each one is enough to keep Peter Pettigrew in Azkaban for the rest of his life.
But even so, the result of wiesengamo's trial was merely that Pettigrew was taken into Azkaban as a felon.
It was thought that it should be killed directly, or that Azkaban's guardians, the Dementors, should take his soul directly.
This is a good decision. At least everyone thinks that death is the best way to deal with such a person who betrays his friends.
However, this is not a very strange thing in wiesengamo.
They have not sentenced a wizard to death for hundreds of years. Compared with Muggles, the existence of every wizard is a scarce resource. Only in tens of thousands of people can there be a wizard with magic talent. Even the verdict of the first generation of the Dark Lord, Greenwood, was only confined. In fact, in the legal literature, the life of a wizard is protected, and everyone knows this.
The reason why people are so radical is that Sirius escaped from prison.
Azkaban has lost its credibility, its strongest cage has been terminated by Sirius, and people no longer believe in the Ministry's methods. If one day, some vicious black wizard escapes from Azkaban, and receives the most serious harm, of course, ordinary civilian witches in the magic world of June and July.
Many wizard's strength is not up to the standard. Now it is not what the witches in the middle ages and peacetime rely on. Apart from the poor protection provided by the Ministry of magic, there is nothing else.
They were afraid that Peter would escape from Azkaban.
For this reason, the Ministry of magic repeatedly promised that it would take strict care of Peter Pettigrew. In fact, they did the same thing. They locked Peter to the deepest place in Azkaban, where there was no light. The only thing Peter could see was Dementors.
But with Sirius's precedent, people in the magic world don't believe fudge and the Ministry of magic. For the incompetence of the Ministry of magic and his ministers, we have to say that many people are disappointed.
In this case, Fudge had to control the prophet's daily, drawing the spearhead to Sirius.
Sirius Black is the only wizard who escapes from Azkaban, and the Ministry of magic would not target Sirius if there was no one to change the subject.
They did an exclusive interview for Sirius for a whole page, from the prison break of Sirius to the endurance of such a long time, until he caught Peter Pettigrew.
However, to van Lin's satisfaction, under the guidance of Dumbledore, the reporting of Sirius incident played down the role of several children, which also made van Lin feel more relaxed.
Of course, Sirius has become a hero in the magic world. Different from ordinary curiosity, Sirius is worshipped by the vast majority of people.
This is different from Harry, Harry is really too small, small, no one at all persuasive.
People's attitude towards Harry is more of a kind of psychological comfort. They just need a reason for Voldemort's disappearance. As for how Voldemort disappeared, no one paid attention to the process.
But Sirius is different. He is an adult wizard with rich experience in fighting against the black magic. Even in the period of fighting Voldemort, Sirius's active activity is also seen by many people. If it wasn't for Peter's frame up, Sirius would live in a heroic manner.
Now, however, it is not too late.
