The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 399: Trial

Remember in one second【】

The so-called trial will naturally not be conducted in a place like the Department of Mysteries that has nothing to do with the law.

The Linker got out of the elevator under the leadership of the woman, walked through a corridor leading to the real mystery, turned a corner, and entered a downward staircase.

After going down for almost five minutes, the person appeared in another corridor.

The decoration style of this corridor is completely different from the magnificence of other parts of the Ministry of Magic.

It is made of stone as a whole, and there are many dark gates on both sides of the corridor. The overall atmosphere is gloomy and terrible, and the lighting is completely provided by torches inserted on the wall tray.

If you want to describe it, it looks exactly like some of the inaccessible places in Hogwarts.

"Dear guests, we are here."

In the end, the female clerk took the Linker to one of the doors and said respectfully.

Link nodded to the opponent, then turned his gaze to the door.

This is a black wooden door that looks very old. At this moment, the lock on the door has been opened, and the stone door frame above the door is inlaid with a rusty metal number 1.

"The first courtroom."

Link murmured, and Mrs. Foley and Emily nearby were also staring at the metal sign with serious expressions.

These so-called courtrooms are used by the Ministry of Magic to try criminals of the highest standards.

For example, the Death Eaters who followed Voldemort to do a lot of evil.

After Voldemort's fall, these courtrooms have basically been in a semi-abandoned state.

Because ordinary criminals don't need Wizengamo trial here at all, the Magic Law Enforcement Department can handle it directly.

Now that the courtroom is restarted for the case of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, it can also be seen that Fudge attaches great importance to this matter.

Seeing that the Linker stood in front of the door and had been looking at it, the lady on the side also smiled and said respectfully:

"The first courtroom was opened up by Minister Fudge's opposition to the public this time, because the place where Sirius Black was tried was here. Minister Fudge felt that it would be more meaningful if Sirius Black could be rehabilitated in this place! "

Hearing that Emily and Mrs. Foley just nodded slightly, indicating that they knew.

But Link frowned.

The words of the lady just now provided him with a very important message. In this trial, Fudge had already decided that Sirius had won.

"Tsk Tsk"

With some mockery, Link finally walked into the courtroom with Mrs. Foley and Emily.

The courtroom is actually a very large space.

The light here is still dim, but it is much stronger than the corridor outside, and you can see things clearly.

There are two simple iron chairs for trial in the center of the courtroom. There are no handcuffs on them, but loose iron chains are placed on them.

At a distance of about 10 meters around the trial chair, there are rows of empty benches that gradually rise.

This arrangement reminds Link of a lecture theatre in a previous life, or a stadium for sports competitions.

There are already many people sitting on these chairs at the moment.

Most of these people are invited audiences, and they are all well-dressed and noble guys at first sight.

In the seats directly in front of the trial chair, there are about fifty people sitting in them, wearing fuchsia robes, and a delicate silver Wisengammon on their left chest.

As the highest council of the entire Ministry of Magic and even the entire wizarding world, each of them looked very serious.

Fudge, who sits in the most presiding bench in the first row, is naturally no exception.

It seems that he used some magic to make him look thinner and more majestic.

Even when the Link came in, he just nodded slightly, and no longer had the enthusiasm of the past.

But the audience sitting elsewhere is different.

Most of the guys invited to watch the trial are powerful big families and big bosses in the wizarding world of the country. They originally had a shallow or deep relationship with the Foley family. Recently, they have been in Hogwar through themselves The younger generations of Ci's children knew Link's talents, so the Link people were surrounded by countless smiles and flattery almost as soon as they appeared.

Fortunately, these people still hold their own noble status as aristocrats, and they are not too radical. Only then can the Link people successfully sit on their own positions.

Shortly after the Links fell behind, Fudge officially announced the start of the trial.

The audience who were still whispering in pieces, trying to talk to Mrs. Foley and Link instantly quieted down.

Seeing this, Fudge nodded in satisfaction, holding a piece of parchment and saying:

"At the August 15th trial, Sirius Blake was retrial for the mysterious man, and indirectly killed the Potter couple. And Sirius Blake blatantly violated the secrecy law and released the curse in the Muggle neighborhood and killed ten Muggles. case."

"Interrogator: Connelly Fudge, Minister of Magic, Amelia Bones, Director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department... and all members of the Wiesengama Council."

After chanting a long list of interrogator's names, Fudge's expression became more serious, and he changed a piece of parchment and continued:

"First trial: Peter Pettigrew!"

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the courtroom was violently opened, and the two Aurors in uniforms looked down and frightened, looking far more embarrassed than when they met last time.

^0^Remember in one second【】

Peter the little dwarf came in.

The Aurors directly pressed Peter Pettigrew to a trial chair in the courtroom, and the originally loose iron chain was automatically wrapped around Peter Pettigrew and tied it firmly to the chair.

And Peter's appearance also caused a burst of exclamation from the audience in the stands.

Obviously most people didn't expect that the guy who died bravely resisting Black Death Eater and was later posthumously awarded the Merlin First Class Medal did not die!

Also involved in the retrial of the case!

The audience's reaction Fudge was all in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised imperceptibly, and then he continued to say:

"The second trial: Sirius Black, and the witnesses in this case: Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin!"

Sirius Black was also pressed in by the two Aurors.

But compared to Peter Pettigrew, he looks much more energetic.

No, this can hardly be described with spirit.

He is almost like a big star who is walking to the stage to prepare for a performance. He tilted his head slightly, glanced at everyone present with a proud face, and grinned from time to time.

The audience was also very supportive, everyone cheered and shouted the word Black, many even stood up rudely, looking extremely excited.

Suddenly the scene was chaotic.

Fortunately, not long after Sirius was locked in his chair, Dumbledore brought Lupin and Harry into the courtroom.

Dumbledore's fame was indeed terrifying, and everyone in the audience immediately converged upon seeing the situation. The noise at the beginning turned into a whisper in the dark.

To be honest, it was still rude, but Fudge didn't care about it at all.

He just got up with a grin and asked the Aurors to bring chairs for Dumbledore.

The Harry who came with Dumbledore was obviously frightened by the messy but serious atmosphere of the scene, and stood awkwardly beside Dumbledore, at a loss.

Fudge was also very generous about this, and instead of arranging them to go to the audience stand, he directly moved another chair so that they could sit next to Dumbledore.

"Okay, then I will now read the accusation against Peter Pettigrew. The accused was charged with the following crimes: the defendant was killed by a mysterious man in the previous case of the Potters, deliberately and knowingly committed to the safety of the Potters. As the price of the house information, he took refuge in a mysterious man and became a death eater who served as a tiger. After subsequent incidents were revealed, he and Sirius Black blatantly used a spell in a Muggle community to fight, killing ten Muggles. In the end, he killed ten Muggles. , The defendant also used suspended animation to throw all the blame on Sirius Black, and he himself enjoyed the follow-up honorary seal of the Ministry of Magic."

"The defendant's move violated a total of 19 laws, including the ban on the use of international spells under the Confidentiality Law of the International Wizards Federation, which prohibits contact with dark wizards!"

Fudge finished reading all the charges, then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Pettigrew Peter:

"In the principle of fairness and justice, I will now ask you a question! The trial person, Peter Pettigrew, why are you still alive when you should have died?"

"I...I'm scared!" Peter Pettigrew said with a twist of his body, "Because I am so afraid of Sirius Black and his master! If I don't hide, they must be early." Just run out and kill me just like this time!"

"you are lying!"

As soon as Peter Pettigrew finished speaking, Harry yelled furiously.

This disrespectful behavior caused many Wiesengamo members on the trial bench to frown.

They are not ignorant ordinary people, and they have no sense of identity with Harry as the savior.

If Harry continues to be rude, they might even drive Harry out of the courtroom directly.

Dumbledore and Hermione naturally realized this.

They quickly persuaded Harry who wanted to continue.

Upon seeing this, Fudge nodded and said blankly:

"Peter Pettigrew, the reasons you gave are simply untenable. The Ministry of Magic and Azkaban are unquestionable. If it's like what you said, the first thing you think of is to ask the Ministry of Magic. Protect, not feign death for more than ten years!"

Peter Pettigrew was speechless, and kept his forehead there.

This gave Fudge a smile on his face that represented the winner.

However, at this moment, an old but loud voice rang from the Wissengarmo court:

"I object!"

This voice caught everyone's attention, and the Linker heard the reputation, and saw an old man with a kind face, no beard, and gray hair already raised to his feet.

At this time, seeing everyone watching over, the old man said:

"According to our investigation, Peter Pettigrew has been a very timid child since he was a child. This is why his Animagus form is a rat."

I heard a laugh in the audience here.

The old man was also very cooperative and waited until the laughter gradually fell behind before continuing:

"Such a timid person, in the face of that kind of danger, is indeed possible to do some absurd things. So Minister Fudge, you must never understand him with common sense."

As soon as this remark came out, many people in the audience nodded unconsciously.

Most of these people were studying at Hogwarts with Peter Pettigrew.

^0^Remember in one second【】

Those who have read, in their impression, Peter Pettigrew is indeed timid and different from ordinary people.

For a while, the expressions of Fudge, Harry and others looked a little unpleasant.

Originally, this trial was supposed to be a solid matter, but now suddenly an old man who does not know the so-called speaks for Peter Pettigrew!

Link also felt a little strange about this.

At this moment, Mrs. Foley leaned to Link's ear and gently explained:

"That's Old Bartos. He is a close associate of the former Minister of Magic, and he pushed himself to the position of Senator Wizengamore by looting a large amount of property by the Death Eater Cleaning Society."

Upon hearing this, Link suddenly realized.

If this is the case, then it makes sense for the old man to stand up now.

Each of them, the old scum of the last generation, has taken up the property of the Death Eaters.

This naturally also includes the Black family.

And if Sirius Black is overturned, will Sirius go out and hold them accountable for those who took advantage of the Black family’s suffering and directly ate up half of the Black family’s property?

Therefore, the only way they can see now is to completely crucify Sirius on the pillar of shame, the Death Eater!

Only in this way! They can continue to sleep peacefully at night!

The corner of Link's mouth, who had understood it, rose up.

Things finally started to be a little suspenseful.

Link even imagined what the consequences would be if Sirius had not been reversed.

This is really... so much!

Not only Link, but many spectators in the audience who were originally lacking in interest in this trial also cheered up at this moment. UU reading www.uukahnshu.com began to listen intently.

And then the trial became more intense.

One after another Wiesen Gamour, who was in the same faction with Bartos in the previous generation, stood up and started a high-intensity debate with Dumbledore and Sirius on the topic of whether Peter Pettigrew is guilty.

During this process, Fudge, the presiding judge, still has a higher right to speak.

Whenever a detailed topic debate reaches a dead end, he will throw up a new topic so that the debate can continue.

It's just that Link noticed one more detail.

That is, the question raised by Fudge does not conform to the normal rules of trial.

What he is doing now seems to be guiding the two parties to tell the story of the case in as much detail as possible.

So that the audience can read the story more clearly and simply!

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
