A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 448 Drop all charges, moral kidnapping?

"Please describe the attack," Amelia said. "What did they look like?"

"Well, one of them is strong and the other one is skinny."

"No, no, I'm asking you to describe what a dementor looks like."

Mrs. Figg reacted, a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face, "It's big, wearing a cloak.

Then everything went cold, as if all the happiness in the world had suddenly disappeared. "

"Listen carefully." There was a hint of sarcasm in Fudge's tone, "Dementors will not wander around in Muggle residential areas, and the possibility of bumping into a magician is extremely slim.

Okay, you can go, you are not very convincing as a witness. "

"Haha!" Aaron laughed disdainfully, "According to what you said, Minister, no matter how many witnesses you bring, it won't be enough, because dementors will not appear in Muggle residential areas for no reason."

"Mr. Gaius." Fudge's face turned red, his fists clenched, and he was on the verge of rage.

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Aaron asked indifferently.

He really didn't take Fudge seriously. Putting aside his status as the Minister of Magic, Fudge was also a magician and could suppress him in a matter of minutes.

"No problem, but don't forget that you are here to listen."

"But I also have a say, don't I?" Aaron asked.

Genes nodded in agreement and said righteously: "The young master is right. The Wizengamot Charter of Rights clearly stipulates that everyone in the courtroom has the right to speak."

"Minister Connelly, I deliberately took out my precious time just to witness the trial of the Supreme Court of Magic, but I have to say that I am a little disappointed.

The defendant and the defendant's defender inexplicably missed the trial time. The defendant had almost no chance to argue, and the defendant's witnesses were... very difficult to convince.

hehe! I can't even think of how to prove Harry Potter's innocence. Should I capture the two dementors who attacked him and question him? "

Hearing this, Harry nodded repeatedly and was so moved that he almost cried.

He was so wronged. He had been on tenterhooks ever since he received the letter from the Ministry of Magic, especially being deliberately targeted by the Minister of Magic. The unspeakable feeling was really unpleasant.

Fudge clenched his back molars, as if he had made a difficult decision, "Mr. Gaius, I know you and Harry Potter are good friends, and I can understand speaking for him, but..."

"Minister Fudge, please don't get me wrong, my relationship with Harry Potter is average.

The reason why I speak is because I have not seen the so-called fairness in the highest court of the magic world. "

After the words fell, there was silence.

The expressions of dozens of wizards changed. Some nodded secretly, like Amelia, and some showed displeasure, like Umbridge, but most of them were confused and ashamed.

"I heard Susan say that there is a special student in Slytherin." Amelia said with appreciation, "But your speech is a bit sharp. Whether the Wizengamot is fair or not cannot be determined until at least the trial is over. "

Aaron scratched his head in embarrassment, "I think all of you here are respectable wizards, so you shouldn't be as familiar with me as a fifteen-year-old kid!"

Everyone:......

"Does the defense witness have anything to add?" Amelia continued.

"No, no more."

"What about the defender?"

Dumbledore stood in front of the stage and said unhurriedly: "I don't think any of us would believe that it was a coincidence that the Dementors appeared there. Someone sent them there."

puff!

Umbridge, who was sitting on Fudge's right, sneered, "I hope I misunderstood you, Professor, after all, all Dementors are under the control of the Ministry of Magic without exception.

In my humble opinion you seemed for a moment to be implying that the Ministry of Magic had ordered the attack on this child. "

“That would be a big problem, Madam Deputy Minister.

So I believe that the Ministry of Magic will launch a comprehensive investigation to find out why those two dementors stayed away from Azkaban and launched an unauthorized attack. "

"Yes!" Aaron nodded with deep understanding, "If the dementors are disobedient, that means there may be problems in Azkaban at any time."

"No Dementor is outside the control of the Ministry of Magic," Fudge growled.

"I just said that casually, Mr. Minister, don't be nervous." Aaron said casually, and then changed the subject, "But we still have to nip it in the bud, and if possible, send a group of Aurors over."

"Mr. Gaius, it's not your turn to dictate matters regarding the Ministry of Magic."

“Of course, this is just my personal suggestion.

It's up to you whether to adopt it or not, but...if something happens to Azkaban because of the dementors, it will also be your responsibility. "

The corners of Fudge's mouth twitched violently, and he felt particularly uncomfortable in his chest, as if a big stone had been blocked.

He felt something was wrong when Jeans wrote to him two days ago, but due to the strong influence of the Gaius family, he could not refuse.

It's just two auditorium seats, so it won't make much of a splash.

But now he really regrets it. If he had known that Aaron's mouth was so bad, he would rather lose the Gaius family's face than let him enter this courtroom.

Dumbledore walked up to Fudge seriously, "Cornelly, I beg you to be rational. There are signs that the Dark Lord has returned, and this is irrefutable."

"He has not returned at all." Fudge gritted his teeth.

Dumbledore sighed slightly. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard Fudge say that.

He faced the crowd and said with full energy: "In cases like Harry Potter, the law clearly stipulates that magic can be used in front of Muggles when life is threatened."

"The law can be amended when necessary, Dumbledore." Fudge said viciously.

"Obviously, I was asked to leave the Wizengamot a few weeks ago, and a trivial matter of a minor using magic has to be tried in a criminal court."

"Dumbledore has been the chief wizard of the Wizengamot for a long time, but he was dismissed a few weeks ago." Jins whispered.

Aaron couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. It wasn't long after the Triwizard Tournament ended a few weeks ago. .

It seems that after Fudge and Dumbledore fell out, in addition to using newspapers to smear his image and reputation, he was also trying to take back his rights.

"Politics is really dark! No wonder people in my family don't like being officials!"

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of eyes fell on Aaron.

"Uh... I was inspired, don't take it to heart.

I still trust the Ministry of Magic, and the abuse of power has absolutely nothing to do with you."

Dumbledore spread his hands, "As a defense lawyer, I have said everything I want to say. Next, please conduct the trial."

Everyone whispered, and after a few minutes Amelia said, "Please raise your hands if you are in favor of conviction."

Fudge was the first to raise his hand, and Umbridge was the second, but even with the minister and deputy minister taking the lead, less than one-fifth of the people were in favor of conviction.

"Please raise your hands if you are in favor of dropping all charges." Amelia asked again.

Hands were raised one after another, even Mrs. Figg was no exception, which formed a very sharp contrast with what happened just now.

Fudge swallowed hard, he was extremely angry, but he had to suppress his anger, "withdraw all charges."

Bang!

The hammer fell, and the hearing ended hastily.

"Great." Dumbledore applauded, then waved his wand, and the chairs he conjured disappeared instantly.

"Aaron, are you free?

I think we need to talk."

"No time." Aaron said without thinking, "I have something to do when I go back!"

Dumbledore pursed his lips, "Okay, I understand."

"Professor." Harry came over impatiently, but was interrupted by Dumbledore before he could speak.

"Harry, we'd better not have too much contact now.

I'm not in a position to tell you the reason, but you must not think too much.

In addition, if there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can find Mr. Gaius. I think he should not refuse to help his friends.

Right, Mr. Gaius?"

Aaron:......

Damn! You are a bad old man.

What is this? Coercion, inducement or moral kidnapping?

Aaron winked at Jins, hoping that he would help him out.

And he just looked up at the dark ceiling, looking like he had nothing to do with it.

"Haha!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then looked at Dumbledore who was waiting for his answer, "Professor, Slytherin never refuses to help friends."

"That's good." Dumbledore nodded with relief, and without giving Harry a chance to speak, he quickly left the courtroom.

"Well, I..."

"No need to say." Aaron interrupted him hurriedly, "I think as a responsible man, even if there is trouble, I will find a way to solve it myself, and I won't trouble my friends, right?"

Jin's pupils dilated slightly, and he silently gave his young master a thumbs up in his heart.

Draining the firewood from the bottom of the pot!

If you can't handle Dumbledore, can't you handle Harry Potter!

Harry's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded blankly.

For some reason, he seemed to see the shadow of Dumbledore in Aaron.

"That's good." Aaron reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't have much confidence in Harry Potter's character. If he could really keep his head down, he wouldn't have been so tired in the past few years.

But Voldemort has been resurrected, and his biggest enemy is the principal of Hogwarts.

Unless he drops out of school now and hides at home honestly, it's not so easy to stay out of trouble.

But at this stage, he really couldn't leave Hogwarts. He even thought about being a teacher at Hogwarts after graduation. After all, signing in for one day means ten magic points. How many years of hard work would he have to work for?

The members of the Wizengamot were sorting out their own documents and official documents. Harry stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether he needed their consent to leave.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

"Can we leave now?"

"What else? Are you going to stay and clean up?"

Harry glanced at the judges with a guilty conscience and quickened his pace towards the door.

As soon as he walked out, he bumped into Arthur Weasley who was standing outside.

"Dumbledore left in a hurry just now and didn't tell me..."

"It's over." Harry said happily, "They dropped all charges against me."

"Let me just say, they can't convict you." Mr. Weasley smiled, and then looked at Aaron unexpectedly, "Maybe it's inappropriate to ask, but why are you here?"

"Listen in." Aaron said casually, "After all, this is a trial against the Savior, so I am quite interested."

Mr. Weasley was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded, "How do you feel?"

"Not so good?" Aaron shook his head in disappointment, "Besides, it's best not to stand here."

"What's the meaning?"

Before he finished speaking, the door to the trial room opened again, and dozens of wizards in purple robes walked out.

Mr. Weasley suddenly opened his mouth in shock, "My Merlin! Are they officially opening a trial for you?"

"I think so."

"It's spectacular, isn't it?" Aaron patted Harry on the shoulder, "The people who can be judged by this kind of lineup are all famous people. If word spreads, you can brag about it for a long time."

Harry smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think this is anything to be proud of."

Mr. Weasley is somewhat famous in the Ministry of Magic, and some wizards went out of their way to say hello to him.

But Genes is more popular than him. If it weren't for Aaron still here, he would probably be dragged to the bar by a group of people.

Percy nodded slightly to Aaron as he passed by, but completely ignored Harry and Mr. Weasley. Mr. Weasley was also silent in response, with no trace of the father-son relationship at all.

"What's wrong with them?" Aaron asked curiously.

"Percy prefers to trust the Ministry of Magic." Harry said helplessly. "He thinks we are making trouble out of nothing, and even Dumbledore doesn't trust him anymore."

"That's his own decision." Mr. Weasley pursed his lips, "But I know my son, he will change his mind sooner or later."

Aaron nodded unequivocally. Although the Weasley family was poor, their family education was pretty good.

The last ones to come out of the courtroom were Connelly and Umbridge, but neither of them looked very good-looking.

"Mr. Gaius, are you free?" Fudge forced a smile, "I think we can talk."

"No time." Harry said angrily, "Aaron has something to do when he goes back!"

"I'm free, of course I'm free," Aaron said immediately.

"But you just now?" Harry blinked blankly.

"What do you know? It would be too short-sighted to refuse the invitation personally from the Minister of Magic."

"But Dumbledore..."

"That's not important." Aaron waved his hand. In his opinion, Fudge and Dumbledore were not at the same level.

He could offend the Minister of Magic without any psychological burden, because he knew that no matter how dissatisfied Fudge was with him, there was nothing he could do to him.

But he really didn't want to have contact with the headmaster of Hogwarts. Dumbledore's more than one hundred years of life were definitely not in vain. If he was accidentally sold by him, he would have to count the money for him.

And from the day he decided to go to school, his family had made it clear that his guards would not enter Hogwarts. This made him feel a long-lost freedom, but it also meant that his family background would not give him any protection at Hogwarts. He brings little help, and everything has to be sorted out on his own.
