The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

"Hogwarts' Strongest Badger Novel()" Find the latest chapter!

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

The three of Link got out of the elevator under the guidance of the female clerk, turned another corner on the way to the corridor leading to the Department of Real Mysteries, and entered a downward staircase.

Continuing to walk down for almost five minutes, the three of them appeared in another corridor.

The decor of this hallway is quite different from the splendour of the rest of the Ministry of Magic.

It is constructed of stone as a whole, and there are many dark gates side by side on both sides of the corridor. The overall atmosphere is eerie, and the lighting is completely provided by torches inserted into the wall trays.

If you have to describe it, it is exactly the same as some sparsely populated places in Hogwarts.

"Dear guests, here we are."

In the end, the female clerk brought the three of Link to one of the doors and spoke respectfully.

Link nodded towards the other party, and then turned his attention to the door.

This is a black wooden door that looks very old. At this moment, the door lock on it has been opened, and on the stone door frame above the door, there is a rusted metal mark - 1 inlaid.

"The first courtroom."

Link muttered, while Mrs. Foley and Emily 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 order.

For example, the Death Eaters who followed Voldemort to do evil things back then.

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

Because ordinary criminals don't need to open the Wizengamore trial here at all, the Magic Law Enforcement Division can handle it directly.

Now that the courtroom is reopened for the cases of Sirius Black and Pettigrew Peter, it can also be seen that Fudge is taking this matter seriously.

Seeing the three of them standing in front of the door and looking at them all the time, the female clerk on the side also smiled slightly and said respectfully:

"The first courtroom was opened by Minister Fudge against all the opposition this time.

Because this is where Sirius Black was tried. Minister Fudge thought it would make more sense to rehabilitate Sirius Black in this place! "

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

But Link raised his eyebrows.

The words of the female clerk just now provided him with a very important piece of information. In this trial, that guy Fudge has already decided that Sirius will win.

"Tsk tsk~"

With some mocking slaps, 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 generally you can see things clearly.

In the most central position of the courtroom were two crude trial iron chairs. There were no handcuffs on them, but loose iron chains were placed on them.

About 10 meters away from the trial chair, there are rows of empty benches that gradually rise.

Such an arrangement reminded Link of a lecture hall in a previous life, or a sports venue.

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

Most of these people are invited spectators, and they are all well-dressed and noble at first glance.

On the seats directly in front of the trial chair, there were about fifty Senators from Wizengamot, wearing purple-red robes and a delicate silver w on their left chest.

As the Supreme Council of the entire Ministry of Magic and the entire wizarding world, each of them looks very serious.

Among them, Fudge, who sat in the middle of the first row, was no exception.

He seemed to have used some kind of magic to make him look thinner and more dignified.

Even when the three of Link entered the arena, he only nodded slightly, and no longer had the enthusiasm of the past.

But the audience sitting elsewhere was different.

Most of these guys invited to come to watch the trial are the powerful big families and big bosses in the wizarding world of the country today. They have a shallow or deep relationship with the Foley family. Ci's children and descendants knew about Link's extraordinary talent, so almost as soon as the three of Link appeared, they were surrounded by countless smiles and flattery.

Fortunately, these people still hold their noble status as nobles, and they are not too radical, so the three of Link can sit in their own positions smoothly.

Shortly after Link's three-seater was behind, Fudge also officially announced the start of the trial.

Originally still whispering, the audience who wanted to talk to Mrs. Foley and Link fell silent in an instant.

Seeing this, Fudge nodded with satisfaction, holding a piece of parchment and said:

"August 15th trial, re-trial of Sirius Black's refuge with You-Know-Who and indirectly killing the Potters. And Sirius Black's blatant violation of secrecy law in a Muggle block to release a spell and kill thirteen people The Muggle case."

"Interrogators: Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, Director of Magical Law Enforcement Division Amelia Burns... and the entire Council of Wizengamore."

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

"First trial: Pettigrew Peter!"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the courtroom was slammed open, and the two uniformed Aurors were terrified, and Pettigrew Peter, who looked far more embarrassed than the last time they met, walked in.

The Aurors directly pressed Pettigrew Peter on a trial chair in the middle of the courtroom, and the loose iron chain automatically wrapped around Pettigrew Peter's body and tied it firmly to the chair.

The appearance of Peter also caused a burst of exclamations from the audience in the stands.

Obviously, most people did not expect that the guy who died heroically resisting Death Eater Black and was posthumously awarded the First Class Medal of the Merlin Order for this reason did not die!

He was also involved in the retrial of the case!

The audience's reactions were all in Fudge's eyes. The corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly, and then continued to read:

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

Sirius Black was also pushed in by two Aurors.

But compared to Pettigrew Peter, he looked more energetic.

No, this is simply not a word to describe spiritually.

He was just like a big star who was heading towards the stage to prepare for a performance. He raised his head slightly, glanced at everyone present with a proud look, and grinned from time to time.

And the audience was also very cheering, everyone cheered and shouted the word Black, and many people even stood up rudely, looking very excited.

Suddenly the scene was chaotic.

Fortunately, shortly after Sirius was locked in the chair, Dumbledore brought Lupin and Harry into the courtroom as well.

Dumbledore's reputation is indeed terrifying, and everyone in the audience immediately restrained a lot when they saw this, from the initial noise to a secret whisper.

It's still pretty rude to be honest, but Fudge doesn't care about it at all.

He directly stood up with a grin and asked the Aurors to bring chairs for Dumbledore.

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

Fudge was also very generous in this regard, and instead of arranging them to go to the audience stand, he directly moved three more chairs so that they could sit next to Dumbledore.

"Okay, so now I'm going to read out the charges against Pettigrew Peter. The accused is charged with the following crimes: The accused, in the previous murders of the Potters by the Mysterious Man, deliberately and knowingly committed the Potters. As the price of his safe house information, he took refuge in the mysterious man and became a Death Eater who played tricks on the tiger. And after the follow-up incident was revealed, he fought with Sirius Black openly using magic spells in a Muggle community, killing thirteen people. Muggle. In the end, the defendant also took the opportunity to fake his death, threw all the blame on Sirius Black, and enjoyed the subsequent honor of the Ministry of Magic."

"The defendant's move violated a total of 19 laws, including the International Confederation of Wizards Confidentiality Law, the International Regulations on the Use of Charms, and the Prohibition of Contact with Dark Wizards!"

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

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

"I... I'm afraid!" Pettigrew Peter stammered as he twisted his body, "Because I'm too afraid of Sirius Black and his master! If I don't hide, They must have come out to kill me just like this time!"

"you're lying!"

As soon as Pettigrew Peter finished speaking, Harry screamed in anger.

This rude behavior caused many Wizengamore MPs in the bench to frown.

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

If Harry continued to be rude, they might even throw Harry straight out of the courtroom.

Dumbledore and Hermione naturally realized this.

They quickly persuaded Harry, who wanted to continue talking.

Upon seeing this, Fudge nodded and said expressionlessly:

"Peter Pettigrew, the reasons you give are untenable. There is no doubt about the power of the Ministry of Magic and Azkaban. If it is what you say, then your first thought must be to the Ministry of Magic. Ask for protection, not fake death for more than ten years!"

Pettigrew Peter was speechless, and his brows kept going.

That put a victorious smile on Fudge's face.

However, at this moment, an old but loud voice rang from the Wizengamot jury:

"I object!"

The voice attracted everyone's attention, and the three of Link heard the sound and saw a kind-faced, beardless, gray-haired old man who had raised his hands and stood up.

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

"According to our investigation, Pettigrew Peter was a very timid child from an early age. That's why his Animagos form is a mouse."

Hearing this, the audience burst into laughter.

The old man also cooperated and waited until the laughter faded before continuing:

"Such a timid person, in the face of that kind of danger, is indeed likely to do some absurd things. So Minister Fudge, you must not understand him with common sense."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience nodded unconsciously.

Most of these people had read books at Hogwarts with Pettigrew Peter. In their impression, Pettigrew Peter was indeed timid and different from ordinary people.

For a while, the expressions of Fudge, Harry, and the others were a little unsightly.

This trial was supposed to be a sure thing, but now an unknown old man suddenly appeared to help Pettigrew Peter!

Link also felt a little strange about this.

At this time, Mrs. Foley leaned into Link's ear and explained softly:

"That's old Bartos. He was a close associate of the former Minister of Magic, and he used the opportunity to cleanse the Death Eaters to snatch a large amount of property and pushed himself to the position of the Wizengamore Councillor."

Hearing this, Link suddenly realized.

If that's the case, it makes sense for the old man to stand up now.

Every one of them, the old scumbags of the previous generation, stole 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 misfortune and directly ate most of the Black family's property?

So now the only way they can see is to completely crucify Sirius on the Death Eater Pillar of Shame!

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

The corners of Link's mouth lifted up after he understood.

Things are finally starting to get a little suspenseful.

Link even imagined in his heart what would happen if Sirius hadn't been overturned.

This is... so much fun!

Not only Link, but many audience members in the audience who were originally disinterested in this trial also cheered up at this moment and began to listen intently.

Then the trial became more intense.

One after another of the Wizengamore MPs who were in the same faction as Bartos from the previous generation stood up and began a high-intensity debate with Dumbledore and Sirius and others on the topic of Pettigrew Peter's guilt.

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

Whenever a debate on a small topic hits a dead end, he throws up a new topic so that the debate can continue.

However, Link noticed a more interesting detail.

That is, the question that Fudge is asking is actually not in line with 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!
