New Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 252: tit for tat

"No," Mr. Weasley said breathlessly, "If I don't go in, why would I enter the courtroom?"

Seeing Harry's worried look, Mr. Weasley comforted him and said, "Don't worry, it's Harry. Dumbledore will be there if Xia Ran is there."

Harry nodded and took a deep breath, his heart still beating wildly.

When he walked to a gloomy black door with a large iron lock, his outstretched right hand trembled slightly.

Xia Ran smiled and said: "Harry, you go in first because you have the protagonist."

Harry wanted to laugh, but he didn't know that he didn't laugh in the end because his muscles were so stiff.

"Harry, I wish you good luck." Mr. Weasley took a few breaths and slowly walked back along the original path.

Harry's heart was beating harder and harder. He swallowed hard, twisted the heavy iron handle on the door, and walked into the courtroom.

He took a breath of air-conditioning. He couldn't control himself. There was a deep dark room. He had seen this dark room in Dumbledore's pensieve. He had witnessed the Lestranges being sentenced to Aziz. Caban was jailed for life.

Of course, now the Lestranges have all escaped from Azkaban Prison.

The surrounding walls were made of black stones. The light from the torches was dim and eerie. On both sides of him were rows of empty benches that were gradually rising. In front of him, on the highest benches, many black figures suddenly appeared. Huge figure.

They had been whispering just now. When the heavy door closed behind Harry, an ominous silence enveloped him. He immediately turned his head and looked around. The moment he saw Professor Frémont, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

A cold man's voice echoed in the courtroom.

"you are late!"

"I'm sorry." Harry said nervously, "I...I didn't know the time had changed."

"It's not the fault of the Wizengamot." The voice said, "I sent an owl to inform you this morning. You need to pay for this. This kind of non-compliance with time..."

"Ahem..." Xia Ran coughed and said softly, "Yaxley is the minister and he hasn't spoken yet. Why are you so anxious?"

"You..." The cold man's voice seemed to be angry and he reprimanded, "Xia Ran, who allowed you to enter the Ministry of Magic? Since there are no more employees of the Ministry of Magic, you should stay away from the Ministry of Magic and don't reveal the secrets of the Ministry of Magic. Important news!"

"I allow it."

In the middle of the row of seats in front was a serious witch wearing a monocle who said in a loud and deep voice: "Yaxley, what do you think?"

A wizard with a sinister face and a fierce look on his face said bluntly: "No, it's because of the minister's order."

Xia Ran chuckled and said: "It seems that Yaxley is dissatisfied with the minister's decision. Amelia, do you want me to teach him a lesson for you? You know that I always have some skills in teaching people." "

"You..." Yaxley's expression became increasingly livid.

Xia Ran smiled.

The atmosphere in the courtroom seemed to have changed subtly. Many wizards were whispering without any concealment and shifted their gaze from Harry to Xia Ran.

Harry gave the professor a grateful look.

He was under so much pressure just now that he almost felt like he couldn't breathe. Only then did he take the time to look at the wizard in this room.

What he could see was about fifty people wearing purple-red robes with a delicate silver "w" embroidered on the left chest. They all lowered their eyes and looked down. Their eyes were on him just now, but at this moment they were focused on Xia Ran. There was an expression of dissatisfaction on his body, and his expression was very serious, with no concealment of his inner curiosity.

In the middle of the row of benches in front sat the new Minister of Magic, Amelia Bones.

Ms. Bones is a very majestic wizard. She has a wide chin, a square figure, short gray hair, and wears a monocle. She is short, but this does not affect her majesty at least. Leigh found the look on Ms. Bones's face intimidating.

He also saw that the wizard Yaxley, who had initially scolded him, was sitting on the right side of Ms. Bones, with a witch in between.

"Well, Xia Ran, there is a Ministry of Magic here, so don't talk nonsense. You used to have Ministry of Magic employees who abide by some rules." Ms. Bones said, but did not say any scolding words.

Yaxley's face was particularly ugly.

Xia Ran smiled and motioned for Harry to sit on the chair in the middle.

Harry lowered his gaze and looked at the chair in the center of the room. There were chains on the left and right on the armrests of the chair.

He had also seen these chains suddenly jump up in Dumbledore's pensieve, tying up the people sitting on them tightly.

His feet echoed loudly across the stone floor.

Harry sat carefully on the edge of the chair as the chains jingled menacingly, but did not bind him. He suddenly felt dizzy and nauseated, so he quickly looked up at the people sitting on the bench above.

"Very good." Yaxley shouted, "The defendant has finally arrived..."

"Yaxley is not here to let the minister speak. It's your place to speak." Xia Ran interrupted him and said without giving him any face.

Because he knew that Yaxley was one of the Death Eaters planted by Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic. The death of Amelia Bones in the original time and space was Yaxley, and he was a major suspect.

Xia Ran was wondering if she should take the time to ambush Yaxley and intercept him halfway.

"I am an employee of the Ministry of Magic, so my qualifications are definitely higher than yours!" Yaxley said gloomily.

Xia Ran smiled nonchalantly and said: "Anyway, since there is no minister, why don't you and I try to see who wins and who has the right to speak?"

He looked at Yaxley Shirao and said interestingly: "Do you dare?"

Yaxley's face became more and more gloomy because he asked himself if his fighting ability was not weak, but Xia Ran showed such confidence that he did not dare to agree easily. After all, the Dark Lord still wanted him to stay in the Ministry of Magic.

Ms. Bones glanced at Yaxley coldly and said, "Okay, let's get started. Are you ready?" she asked loudly across the bench.

"There are ladies," a voice familiar to Harry said urgently.

Ron's third brother, Percy Weasley, sat at the very edge of the front bench.

Harry knows that Percy has severed contact with the Weasley family for his dream of power. He used to follow Cornelius Fudge and is now following Amelia Bones. Will he follow Voldemort in the future?

Harry thought angrily.

Xia Ran nodded slightly and it was Percy's undercover identity. The three of them knew that it was him and Dumbledore. Snape was the one who originally planned to let Percy reveal his identity and intentions after Fudge fell. This was to relieve him and his family. misunderstanding between them.

However, Percy believes that Voldemort has not died for a day because he, as a wizard who "betrayed" the Order of the Phoenix, must be useful for what role it may play in the future, and not necessarily for the opportunity that may arise. He is willing to continue to accept everything. , the strange look in his eyes was just like Professor Snape.

It can only be said that he deserves to be an undercover agent who finally accepted Snape's teachings.
