Chapter 485: The Fidelius Charm
Fortunately, Diana's gaze did not linger on Kyle. She turned her attention directly to Peter Pettigrew.
"Is that him?" she asked quietly.
"Yes," Dumbledore replied, nodding. "From here, I leave it to you, Diana. I trust you'll reveal the truth, if indeed he is the one who betrayed Lily and James."
"I'll do my best... if he truly is the traitor," Diana said softly. "But I need one more component... Ah, there it is."
She looked toward the doorway, where two more Unspeakables entered, both wearing black robes similar to hers. They were guiding a large, floating tank filled with an ink-green liquid. Although the tank seemed no bigger than a small suitcase, the two Unspeakables handling it were visibly struggling, sweat beading on their foreheads and hands trembling as they held their wands.
A few younger wizards exchanged puzzled glances, wondering why such seasoned Unspeakables appeared exhausted by a task that seemed trivial. If only they understood the weight of the object.
The two men approached Peter Pettigrew and carefully set the tank down with a heavy, echoing thud, revealing the true density of the object within.
"That was tough," one of them panted, wiping sweat from his brow. "You have thirty minutes of use. That should be enough."
"More than enough," Diana assured him. "Thank you, Bode, Croaker."
