Chapter 223 One more bottle?
"You're late!" An indifferent voice sounded, startling Harry who had just entered.
Harry ignored the person who made the sound, and walked straight inside, where he saw acquaintances, Fudge sitting in the center of a row of benches, and Percy sitting on the far end.
"Very well," said Fudge, wearing a square black hat and adjusting his glasses, "the defendant is here, let's begin."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Minister." Percy responded eagerly, took out a quill and parchment, and focused all his energy on the record.
Harry frowned at Percy, how could he be here?Percy didn't even look at me?
"Today's trial, Harry Potter, who lives at No. 4 Privet Drive, Jinhui Community, Surrey, violated the "Act on Reasonable Restraining of Underage Wizards" and the "International Statute of Secrecy."
"Interrogators, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Bones, Senior Undersecretary Dolores Umbridge, Trial Recorder: Percy Way Sly."
"The defendant, Harry Potter, had been warned in writing by the Ministry of Magic for similar allegations, and again, knowingly and knowingly, again, on the premise of knowing that he had violated the law, on the evening of August 8 at 2:6 p.m. Points, casting the Patronus Charm in front of Muggles, this behavior violates the third paragraph of the "Reasonable Restraint of Minors Act" and Article 13 of the "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy."
"Begin the trial! Those who think Harry Potter is guilty, start raising your hands!"
Fudge spoke urgently and quickly. After he finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand. Ms. Bones, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, looked at Fudge in surprise. Shouldn't I be the one who said this?
Harry looked at those members of the Wizengamot Jury, more than half of them had raised their hands, he shook his head, looked at them indifferently.
He now somewhat understands why Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban without interrogation when he was captured here.
"It seems that my crime has been proven. With my defendant saying nothing and no witnesses," Harry stared fiercely at Fudge, "this is how the wizarding world is convicted? I grew up so old, There's only one person targeting me, and that person's name is Voldemort, whom none of you dare mention, and the other person is you, Cornelius Fudge!"
Harry's words were full of air, and the Wizengamot judges present whispered.
"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Fudge widened his eyes and slapped the document in his hand on the table, "This is the Wizengamot Tribunal! You can't let your nonsense speak!"
"The Tribunal of the Wizengamot? Isn't it your Fudge's Yiyantang? Your Ministry of Magic has assigned a group of dementors to attack me. Don't you join forces with Voldemort to kill me?"
"Shut up! What nonsense! I think you are just like Dumbledore..."
"Wait! Your Excellency," Ms. Burns looked at Harry curiously, interrupting Fudge's next words, "Did you just say dementors? In Jinhui Community?"
"A bunch of dementors are attacking me at my door, so can't I cast the Patronus Charm? Just because I'm underage and going to die? I don't like anyone in the Dursleys, but I can't just sit back and watch Let them die before their eyes!" Harry stood up and loudly described what happened that night to the Wizengamot judges around him.
"You mean, your Muggle relatives also found the dementors?" Fudge said sarcastically, "You used the Patronus Charm to save them?"
"Yes! Dudley passed out directly," Harry replied affirmatively, "I could only drag him out of that place."
"Look! Look! I knew you were talking nonsense!" Fudge even laughed out loud, "You don't have to make up lies about dementors, Muggles can't see them at all!"
"They can't see it, but they can sense it! There are too many dementors! No one can stand being surrounded by them!"
"Very clever lie, Harry Potter, don't mention Dementors anymore, that's just an excuse to cover up your use of the Patronus Charm!"
"Who can prove that I used the Patronus Charm?" Harry suddenly changed the subject, if you, Fudge, don't admit that there are dementors, then I, Harry, won't admit that I used the Patronus Charm!
"Who can prove it? Haha, this is simply a joke. Your wand has been collected, and there are more than one Muggle in Jinhui Community who saw you cast the Patronus Charm!" Fudge smiled triumphantly. After finding the means, he began to cheat.
"Oh, my wand has been handed in. You can check to see when I used the Patronus Charm." Harry waved his hand and sat back in his chair.
Fudge turned to look at Percy, beckoning him to inquire, Percy stood up in a panic, and hurried out of the courtroom.
Everyone fell silent and waited quietly. Ms. Burns, the Director of Magical Law, looked at the puffy Harry with great interest.
Percy quickly ran back out of breath, and whispered something into the proud Fudge's ear, his smug expression quickly froze on his face.
"Percy, this is the Inquisition, you shouldn't just tell the Minister of Magic who wears a pair of trousers with Voldemort, you should tell all the members of the Wizengamot!" Harry gave Percy a disgusted look. See through this man.
"He, he hasn't used the Patronus Charm on his wand recently..." Percy noticed that everyone was looking at him in unison, and nervously said the news he had received, and then quickly ran back to his close-by Corner seats.
"That's impossible!" roared Fudge. "We've got witnesses!"
"Witness? Did you pay Muggles to frame me in the Wizengamot trial?" Harry suddenly thought of the scene of Snape feeding little Barty drinking Veritaserum, and he squinted at Fudge, " I remember there is a potion called Veritaserum, you can give it to the witnesses for a try, of course, I can also drink it with you! One bottle is not enough, I can have another bottle!"
"You, you, you dare to slander the Minister of Magic..."
"Enough! Connelly!" A voice came from behind Harry, and the entire trial court fell silent, "He's just a child, you shouldn't send a child to the criminal court!"
Fudge looked at Dumbledore with a gloomy face. This trial is over, and there is no point in making a fuss any longer. Even if those witnesses drank Veritaserum, they would still confess the existence of dementors. As long as they appear, they will bring cold , and fear, and the inability to be happy.
"Those who think Harry Potter is innocent, please raise your hand." After speaking, Ms. Burns, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, raised her right hand...
Dumbledore led Harry out of the Ministry of Magic, seeing Harry's hesitant expression, he stopped in his tracks.
"Professor, I thought you wouldn't come." Harry said brilliantly.
"Harry, I've been here a long time ago, but I just didn't show up." Dumbledore winked at Harry, "The kid who refuted me at the dinner table performed very well in the trial court today."
