Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Harry glanced uneasily at Dumbledore, who gave him a reassuring look.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and began to tell the truth.

It's a long description, and it all starts with Ron being dragged away by the giant black dog that Sirius Black transformed into.

Throughout the process, Umbridge asked Harry almost every detail word for word. Despite Dumbledore's help, Harry was still exhausted when he talked about Sirius Black convincing Lupin and himself and leaving the Shrieking Shack. .

Then Umbridge gave a simple conclusion: "So, everything is an inference, and you didn't give Peter Pettigrew a chance to speak at all."

Harry fell into endless depression.

He originally thought that he still had a chance to lie and directly provide irrefutable evidence, but he failed completely.

Harry finally understood what Lu Ke meant when he told him.

Fortunately, he didn't mention the Dementors until the end. Harry hoped that this would preserve the last glimmer of hope, but he still wasn't sure.

The thought of Sirius Black possibly returning to Azkaban made Harry despair.

Just when Harry thought it was over, Mr. Weasley led the others into the courtroom.

"Our witnesses are here."

Mr. Weasley obviously noticed the expression on Fudge's face, and he looked surprised, because he had completed his work, at least he should not be stared at by the Minister as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Weasley, you're late."

Mr. Weasley looked confused: "It's not even court time yet, I arrived five minutes early!"

Dumbledore raised his right hand: "I think this is not Mr. Weasley's responsibility, and..."

"Now that the witnesses have arrived, let's continue with what we have to do."

Fudge nodded reluctantly.

Then he looked left and right: "Is there anything I need a witness to testify about?"

The witch beside him spoke: "Lupin, the only Hogwarts professor present, a reliable witness."

Fudge nodded, then smiled slightly.

"Lupin."

Lupine walked to the witness stand and stood next to Harry.

"Please explain what happened three nights ago in the Shrieking Shack outside Hogsmeade."

Lupine nodded and began to describe.

What he said was exactly the same as Harry's description, except for the beginning.

Then, like Harry, Lupine enjoyed Umbridge's full set of microscopes.

But compared to Harry, Lupine dealt with it a little more calmly.

till the end.

Umbridge suddenly spoke in a girlish and innocent tone: "Are you a werewolf?"

Lupine felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

But he still forced himself to be calm and nodded slowly: "Yes."

The jury box was filled with people.

This time Fudge had no intention of stopping him, and even he himself had a pretended surprised expression.

Harry turned to look at Lupine with a worried look on his face, but Lupine just smiled and shook his head.

At this time, the Hogwarts professors and Hermione Ron who were waiting behind them both had angry expressions.

But Lu Ke hid behind Snape and Professor McGonagall, leaving only half of his shoulders exposed.

He already knew the key to this trial and had nothing to worry about.

But in fact, contrary to everyone who still held out hope, Lu Ke knew that if this continued, Sirius Black's chance of being redressed would be zero.

The Ministry of Magic still has great power. Even though Dumbledore has great influence in the Wizengamot, the Ministry of Magic is still the Ministry of Magic.

Umbridge didn't ask Lupine any more questions, because everyone could see that no matter what Lupine was going to say next, no one would believe it.

Fudge looked around, "Does anyone else have any questions?"

The wizards he glanced at shook their heads together.

By now, everything is clear.

But just when Fudge was about to announce the result, the witch beside him said: "I also want to ask a witness, Lu Ke."

Everyone looked surprised.

Fudge was stunned for a moment: "I think this is not necessary... Amelia?"

But the witch next to him, Amelia Burns, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, shook her head: "Harry Potter's description is believable, but there is no useful information. Lupine is a werewolf and therefore untrustworthy, then we How to pronounce a verdict? Determine the fate of a wizard based on this vague information?"

"This wizard may be the hero who stands firm against the most dangerous Death Eaters."

Fudge nodded helplessly: "Witness, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke walked to Lu Ping's side.

Fudge glanced at Lu Ke: "Do you have any testimony about the responsibility of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew in the murder of the Potters?"

Lu Ke looked around and nodded.

"I think there's actually a very simple way."

Fudge was stunned for a moment.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should shut up Lu Ke at this time.

But when Fudge hesitated, Lu Ke continued.

"Voldemort's loyalty to the Death Eaters was extremely strict, he was very good at controlling them, and he was very proud."

Lu Ke's eyes casually swept over Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. On the latter's face, Lu Ke saw fear and then confidence.

"Since there is a real Death Eater and a righteous wizard here, let them declare their positions in this serious public place. Whoever dares to loudly say that Voldemort is an ugly, old coward is not a Death Eater. Dead Apostle."

Fudge couldn't help but laugh.

This is a joke.

"Be serious, witness!"

This is the Wizengamot.

But Fudge only thought about this in his heart and didn't have time to say it out.

Then he heard a sharp cry.

"Long live Voldemort!"

"The Dark Lord will return!"

That was Peter Pettigrew, shouting extremely crazily and proudly, with a mocking look on his face.

After a moment of silence, the Auror rushed to the witness box.

They restrained the roaring Peter Pettigrew and turned him into a floating doll.

Lu Ke turned around and glanced casually, then nodded: "I was joking."

This was a very untechnical intimidation, and the only support for its success was Voldemort's deterrent power in the minds of Death Eaters.

Especially for Peter Pettigrew, a Death Eater who knew for sure that the mysterious man would return.

If he had angered Voldemort by explicitly denying that he was not a Death Eater in a situation like the Wizengamot, the consequences would be very tragic.

Of course, Voldemort might not blame him.

It's a pity that Peter Pettigrew didn't dare to gamble.
