What happened next started to go in a good direction.
The next morning, as soon as Elwyn woke up, he saw Ron apologizing to himself, Harry, and Hermione.
He cried bitterly and said that he was a bastard. He told them in detail how he was controlled by Peter and that he shouldn't have doubted them.
Although Elwyn felt that Ron seemed to be hiding something, he eventually forgave him like Harry and Hermione.
After all, not everyone could successfully break free from the control of the Soul Snatch Curse.
Ron's performance at the last moment last night was enough to prove that he was different from Peter. He was a worthy hero.
Ron didn't stay in the school hospital for too long. Following Madam Pomfrey's suggestion, he was sent to St. Mungo's Magic Hospital for a check-up after breakfast at seven in the morning. He would probably spend the rest of the Christmas break there.
Although everyone was worried, Madam Pomfrey repeatedly promised that he would recover without any sequelae.
After saying goodbye to Ron, Cornelius, the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, walked into the ward accompanied by Dumbledore. Behind them, there were three adult wizards, one man and two women, all in their forties or fifties.
Elwyn glanced at the three people one by one. The lady who followed Cornelius was wearing a black robe. She had a square chin, short gray hair, and a monocle.
Elwyn had no impression of this person at all.
However, when he saw the witch next to her, Elwyn's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling. Could this be the legendary Umrich?!
Umrich was wearing a peach red dress, looking like a big, pale toad. She was short and stout, with a broad, flabby face, a large downturned mouth, and large, round, bulging eyes.
Even the little black velvet bow on her short curly hair reminded Elwyn of a big fly that she was about to catch with her long sticky tongue.
Behind Umlich was a stern-looking Magus. His back was straight and his movements were stiff. He wore a spotless black robe and his shoes were polished to a shine. The short, eye-catching moustache on his face seemed to have been trimmed with a ruler. Elwyn had never seen a wizard as strict as he was. If he wasn't wearing a wizard's robe but a suit, he could pass himself off as a manager of the Muggle Bank.
This guy was definitely Percy's idol.
In Elwyn's mind, there was only one person who could be Percy's idol in this aspect, and that was Barty Crouch, the guy who was killed by his Death Eater son, Barty Crouch Jr.
Elwyn looked at the man carefully, wondering if he had hidden Barty Crouch Jr. in his house.
If possible, he wanted to report the man or tell others about it, but no one would believe him.
As the most senior official in the Ministry of Magic, Barty Crouch had a high reputation. If not for the incident with his son, he would have been the minister of the Ministry of Magic.
While Elwyn was looking at the three people in front of him, they were also looking at Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione with serious expressions. Their gazes lingered on Harry the longest.
"Good morning, children!" Foggy looked tired and in poor spirits, as if he hadn't slept the night before. He said in a low voice, "I can't believe this was all done by that dwarf Peter. Blake is actually innocent. Look at what we've done, the Ministry of Magic is going to become a laughingstock. The Daily Prophet will have a chance to laugh at us. If anyone else finds out about this … "
"We've already become a laughingstock, Minister!" Barty Crouch interrupted him, a hint of impatience in his voice. "We actually locked up Sirius Black in Azkaban for twelve years. Who knows how many more innocent people are in there!"
"Yes, you're right!" Foggy seemed to understand the other party's meaning. He hesitated for a moment, then said warily, "This is indeed our oversight, but I remember that you were the director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department back then. You were in charge of all the charges against the Death Eaters."
"Thank you for the reminder, Minister!" Barty Crouch said dryly. "Whether it's for me personally or for Weisengarmo, this matter is a shame that can never be washed away. Fortunately, these children have given us a chance to make up for this mistake."
"Indeed, it's worth celebrating." Foggy didn't look happy at all. He pointed to the three wizards beside him and briefly introduced them to Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione. "Children, this is Barty Crouch, director of the International Magic Cooperation Department. These two ladies are Amelia Bowens, director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department. Dolores Umrich, senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic."
Crouch didn't look at them. He kept staring at Dumbledore. Bowens, on the other hand, gave a faint smile to Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione, looking more amiable.
As for Umrich, she had a fake smile on her face as she greeted the three of them in turn and let out a bell-like giggle. Elwyn felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
Harry and Hermione looked equally pale, especially Hermione. Under Umrich's gaze, her petite body shrank into the blanket as much as possible.
"Alright, children, Weisengarmo has set up a special investigation team for Blake's case, and all five of us are members of the team," Foggy said quickly. "Although we've already heard from Albus, we'd like to hear more about what happened last night."
Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other, and finally, Elwyn recounted what happened last night. Elwyn deliberately concealed Ron, the time converter, and the centaur, and only said that he went to the Forbidden Forest to capture Peter.
"That's shocking. At your age, I couldn't have captured an evil Dark Magus single-handedly." Umrich looked at Elwyn and said in a high-pitched voice like a little girl fussing over nothing.
"I was just lucky, my lady!" Elwyn replied carefully.
"There's nothing to be humble about, Elwyn. You've always been outstanding." Foggy turned the hat in his hand and continued, "Things are not much different from what I imagined. The problem now is, if someone asks you about this matter, it's about how you captured Peter, do you know …"
"I understand, minister!" Elwyn nodded. He knew what Foggy was going to say. "Although I was the one who captured Peter in the end, the Ministry of Magic has put in a lot of effort in this matter, just like last year's snake monster incident. If there's a chance, I'll tell everyone."
"Thank you, Elwyn. You've done us a great favor." Foggy heaved a sigh of relief. To him, as long as it did not affect the reputation of the Ministry of Magic and his career, the biggest obstacle in the matter of Sirius' innocence was no longer there.
