Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

Naturally, Jerry does not know such advanced magic as the End of All Curses.

He just released some sound and light effects while canceling the petrification spell.

Plus the influence of the passive skill [Butcher Temperament].

As expected, almost everyone present was frightened and did not dare to express their anger.

It wasn't until Jerry sat down again that the group regained their senses.

"Ahem," Fudge cleared his throat, "The suspect is here, let's get started."

The werewolf was still whining on the stool, but because it was now underground for an unknown number of meters, the power of the moonlight was weakened to the extreme. The red hair on the werewolf's body gradually faded, and finally turned into gray. The fluttering look.

Immediately afterwards, someone brought a bottle of potion and poured it into the werewolf.

This appears to be an enhanced version of Wolfsbane potion.

Not long after drinking it, as if waking up from a dream, the werewolf's cloudy pupils became clear again, and he stopped struggling and howling.

After sitting blankly on the chair for a while, the werewolf seemed to finally recall what had just happened.

He let out a mournful wail, covered his face with his hands and curled up on the chair, hot tears flowing freely from the gaps in his big furry hands.

"Remus Lupin, can you hear me?"

Fudge said.

Lupine maintained his original posture and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Remus, please cooperate with our work." Sitting next to Fudge was a chubby, toad-like lady wearing a pink cardigan jacket and said seriously.

"Um..."

Lupine made a vague reply from his throat, his face still buried deep under his arms, as if he was afraid that others would see him like this.

Fudge didn't care much. In fact, even if he took wolfsbane potion and could remain rational on a full moon night, the physical changes would not change. Wanting to talk like a normal person was not a problem for a werewolf. An easy thing.

"The trial on November [-]st," Fudge said in a loud voice, "the trial of Mr. Remus Lupin, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, for attacking multiple students while he was a professor. .”

"Do you have anything to defend?"

Lupine shook his head silently. In fact, he immediately placed his suspicion on the medicine Snape gave him.

However, he did not see Snape at the scene, but only Dumbledore.

Seeing the old man who was as calm and wise as usual, Lu Ping's originally frightened heart suddenly calmed down, just like when he received the letter from Hogwarts when he was 11 years old. As long as he was around, there would be no solution. Nothing can be done.

"Given that the incident was justified and did not result in serious consequences, I recommend that Mr. Remus Lupin be sentenced to three months' imprisonment in Azkaban."

Hearing this, Lupine suddenly raised his head and looked at Fudge in shock.

It's not that the sentence is too harsh, it's that it's too light.

Hagrid stayed in Azkaban for half a year just because of some suspicions. Now, no matter what the reason, he did attack two innocent students.

With Fudge, or the group of bureaucrats represented by Fudge, Lupine would not be surprised at all even if he was locked up in Azkaban for ten years.

They have always looked down upon "half-man, half-beast" like themselves.

In fact, other people in the trial seat had already started whispering, and many people made disapproving sounds, including Umbridge, who was sitting next to Fudge, who looked at Fudge in shock.

"First...Sir, I think this result is a bit too light. According to the "Regulations on the Management of Magical Creatures"..."

"Everyone, please be quiet -" Fudge did not look at Umbridge, but stood up and said loudly, "As we all know, werewolves are irrational when they are transformed, let alone their own. Behave responsibly. We should not be too harsh on these special people in society. This is inhumane and violates the spirit of the law——"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

What Fudge means is that just as it is not illegal for a mentally ill person to kill someone, lycanthropy is a kind of mental illness that occurs at a special time.

This is no small matter. You must know that in the past, the Ministry of Magic's definitions of werewolves and vampires, new species transformed by wizards, have always been vague and divided.

On the surface, their "human" status is recognized. As long as they are not exposed, they can hide in normal human society and enjoy the rights that all normal "humans" should have.

Behind the scenes, they are restricted in various aspects in many laws and regulations, such as the "Measures for the Management of Magical Creatures".

Place werewolves and vampires alongside other magical creatures.

You know, if the same thing is done by a wizard or a magical animal, the results will be completely different.

In the original book, Malfoy was only scratched on the arm by the hippogriff, and the hippogriff was sentenced to death. However, after Harry used the "Shadow's Blade" on Malfoy, even the symbolic There are no suspensions or suspensions of classes.

If a werewolf attacked two young wizards before, even if he failed, the werewolf would probably be imprisoned in Azkaban for the rest of his life.

This time Fudge only gave him a punishment of three months in prison. More importantly, this trial will also form a precedent. In the future, the rights and interests of werewolves will be greatly improved. How can Lupine not be surprised and grateful?

But when Jerry heard this, his eyes narrowed.

It would not be surprising to hear such words from Hermione, but with Fudge's virtue...

He couldn't help but look at Fudge. Fudge met Lupine's grateful gaze and smiled at him, but he was sneering in his heart.

According to his original plan, this guy should have been charged with a lot of crimes - such as colluding with Sirius, etc., and then the dementor would give him a kiss, leaving him with nothing to complain about.

It just so happened that he learned some interesting information from some people - when they were in school, the werewolf and Sirius were good friends and talked about everything, so it was not an injustice to him.

However, Dumbledore's early return broke his plan, forcing him to put Lupine on trial in a serious manner in front of everyone!

With Dumbledore watching, it became extremely difficult for him to kill Lupine. No one died or even was injured. According to the law, the most he could do was to sentence him to stay in Azkaban for a few more years. Nothing can be done.It's better to sell him one...

Thinking of this, Fudge suddenly had a bold idea.

If you can seize this opportunity...

He glanced at Lupine and said: "The second trial will be held below -"

"About Albus Dumbledore's negligence in his duties. He did not fully foresee the possible dangers when hiring Remus Lupin and mismanaged his usual teaching activities, which in turn caused this major teaching accident. I, Con Nellie Fudge hereby formally impeaches Albus Dumbledore."

At this time, everyone present could no longer care about Lupin, and their eyes were wandering back and forth between Dumbledore and Fudge.

After the initial honeymoon period, are these two finally about to break up?

Everyone is thinking about how they and their families should choose sides in this bloodless political struggle...

This is a major event that will affect the magic world for decades in the future, and it is much more important than a werewolf.

Fudge, on the other hand, looked expressionless, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He finally seized the opportunity to correct Dumbledore's mistakes. Based on his understanding of Dumbledore, even if the impeachment failed, he would not resent himself. Once the impeachment was successful, Hogwarts, an important institution, would belong to the Ministry of Magic. Under his command, he will suddenly become the most powerful man in Europe.

He didn't dare to take a gamble when the benefits and costs were so disparate. Fudge himself almost looked down on himself.

Everyone present was a veteran of many years, and after thinking about it, they understood Fudge’s little thoughts.

But just as Fudge planned, this was an outright conspiracy.

After all, it was Dumbledore who hired the werewolf, and the werewolf did get into trouble at school.

Even if there was no way to oust Dumbledore from the position of principal, his loss of prestige was certain.

The most important thing is that as a decent man, Dumbledore has no way to take revenge!

Thinking of this, Lu Ping's eyes were splitting with anger.

"I...I have...something to say..."

After shouting these words, Lu Ping felt his throat burning, as if it was about to tear.

Fudge gave Lupin a displeased look.

A werewolf who doesn't know how to appreciate praise!He is indeed a ungrateful beast!

Wouldn't it be nice to just go to Azkaban and stay there for a few months?

If you perform well by then, it's not impossible to arrange a position in the Werewolf Office.

He had to jump out to stand up for Dumbledore at this moment!

"Oh?" Fudge said with a smile, "Do you have any objections to the verdict I just made?"

The implication is that three months has already been a period of mercy outside the law. If you don’t recognize the situation, the good days are still to come!

Lupine felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He knew very well what kind of place Azkaban was.

When they were wandering around the black market, those unruly dark wizards and murderers would tremble in their legs and feet when they heard the name Azkaban, even after they were released.

But what he couldn't bear even more was that Dumbledore's prestige was damaged and he was even kicked out from the position of principal because of him.

He could never forget the desperate period after he was bitten by a werewolf - his mother's cry, his father's lament, and the bottomless darkness ahead...

Until the owl carrying the letter from Hogwarts seemed to pierce the darkness with a burst of light.

He spent the happiest time in his life at Hogwarts and made his best friends...

He was absolutely certain that there could be no better headmaster than Dumbledore.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping felt relieved.

At this time, even if he expressed his doubts about Snape, it would be of no use.

Dumbledore never concealed his regard for Snape, and even made him Head of Slytherin.

Even if it was true that Snape had tampered with the medicine, Dumbledore still couldn't escape the crime of being ignorant.

The only solution now is to bear all the sins on his own, and Dumbledore was only deceived by himself...

"Hehe...hehehahahaha..."

A low and hoarse laugh resounded in the interrogation room. The laughter grew louder and louder until it broke, like a night owl, and was extremely terrifying.

Everyone either frowned or looked at the werewolf chained on a chair in the middle of the room with contempt, wondering what serious illness he had committed.

After laughing, Lupine looked at the blurry black figures above: "Stupid...bastards..."

Lupine's voice was hoarse and hoarse, and occasionally he would pause for a while.

From what he said, he had been dissatisfied with Dumbledore for a long time. As for the reason... As the boss of the Order of the Phoenix, he failed to protect the members and identify the traitors, which led to the death of his good friends, the Potter family!

So when Dumbledore came to him and asked him to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he agreed without saying a word, just to make big news!

Before, Dumbledore had been staying at school and keeping an eye on him, preventing him from finding any opportunities. Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic did him a big favor and transferred Dumbledore to Greece, so he took advantage of this opportunity...

"That's enough! Remus!" Jerry pinched his nose.

It seems that transforming into a werewolf will lower your IQ. How could Lupine's obvious intention to help Dumbledore hide it from these people at the scene?

After hearing that Fudge had sentenced Lupine to three months in prison, Jerry felt relieved and was ready to start fishing.

Of course he saw Fudge's bad intentions.

But anyway, the task assigned to him by Dumbledore was to save Lupine's life and prevent Fudge from doing anything wrong.

You can worry about other things when Dumbledore comes back.

Unexpectedly, Lupine became confused when he cared, and actually wanted to take the blame for Dumbledore.

Please, you are a werewolf!

Can you take the blame for the most powerful white wizard in history?

For Dumbledore, it was just a small thing, but for Lupine, it cost his life!

Didn't you see that even Fudge didn't interrupt you, but looked over with a sneer?

If Jerry remained silent and allowed Lupine to take the blame, not only would Lupine's own life be in jeopardy due to the crime of deliberate murder, but Dumbledore would inevitably be seen as cold-blooded and push his subordinates to take the blame.

This was a bigger blow to Dumbledore than the old fool.

"Why stop?" Fudge sneered, "Speak, let him speak, let him explain clearly the cause and effect of this matter in front of all of us!"

"It's all my fault." Jerry sighed. "I knew that Remus and Severus didn't like each other and regarded each other as enemies when they were in school, but they naively thought that after so many years, no matter how great the hatred was, It should dissipate and let Severus prepare the Wolfsbane potion for Remus."

"Of course, I am not saying that Severus would tamper with Remus's potion. In fact, he cares about the students as much as any professor. However, it is inevitable that he would not know what to do when preparing the potion. So careful, and the formula of Wolfsbane potion is quite complicated..."
