Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

The old woman's face suddenly turned red and she was breathing heavily. She waved her cane and rushed towards Anakin, as if in an instant, all the resentment in her heart was condensed into this one rage. However, just as the old woman tried to rush to Anakin, an Auror reacted quickly and grabbed her arm tightly, stopping her impulse.

The old woman's voice was full of deep sorrow and anger, and her eyes were as sharp as knives, staring straight at Anakin, as if she wanted to carve her resentment into his soul. She desperately cried loudly: "You are a bunch of frauds, scum, and a cancer in the wizarding world! How dare you act like this! My son is a heroic resister, a glorious hero of those mysterious people, he is... "

Her voice stopped suddenly, tears blurred her vision, and she could no longer continue. The old woman's shoulders trembled slightly as she struggled between anger and sadness. The two members of the Wizengamot Tribunal waved their hands, and the two Aurors took her out...

Hermione and Ron were frightened by the old woman's actions. This scene also shocked Anakin. He probably had a guess about the old woman's identity, but he still turned his head to look at Dumbledore. Asked.

"Professor, who is she?"

Dumbledore sighed, with a hint of sadness on his face, and then replied slowly: "That is Pettigrew's mother, Mrs. Peter. It should be a huge shock for him to receive this news. I know her, She's usually very sensible and rational. Maybe this was a big shock to him."

Upon hearing the news, Haisa and her friends fell silent. They looked at the old woman, who was finally dragged out by the Aurors, crying and hurling insults. They felt sympathy and they couldn't imagine the pain she was going through.

Anakin shook his head secretly, understanding why the old woman was so agitated and why she was showing such anger. The mothers of the martyrs must have been ecstatic when they learned that their children were still alive. However, what this mother is about to face is the huge reality blow brought by Aurors.

Pettigrew's identity is no longer that of a martyr in the war, a glorious hero who gave his life for his friends. He became a war criminal who was considered to have betrayed his friends, joined the Dark Lord, and murdered a large number of Muggles. This sudden contrast was obviously not something an old witch could accept.

Dumbledore took another deep breath and reminded: "You should pay attention, Mrs. Peter will be Pettigrew's witness, and due to her age, the Wizengamot Tribunal may lower its case for Pettigrew out of sympathy for her. Sentence. She also hired a very influential defender in the legal community called Hubbard Cameron. You should be careful."

"But how can they reduce the sentence of the other party because of sympathy?" Harry asked angrily: "Is this fair? He has done so many evil things and hurt so many people, and he deserves what he deserves Punishment!" Harry's voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he couldn't understand why the old woman's presence would have an impact on Pettigrew's sentence.

Dumbledore turned to Harry, his eyes filled with pity. He understood Harry's emotions, but he tried to explain: "Harry, it's not about forgiveness, it's about law and morality. Mothers will often do anything for their children, right or wrong. Inquisition of the Wizengamot They are very experienced in this area, and they will take Mrs. Peter's situation into consideration. But justice will still be done, and Pettigrew will be punished as he deserves. This time, I will be the defender of Sirius."

......

The trial was about to begin, and Dumbledore led them to the door of the trial room.

"This is it, Minerva, please stay with the students outside for a moment while I go in first." Professor Dumbledore instructed. He turned to Anakin and others: "The court is about to start, don't be too nervous, you are here to wait for the summons, and just tell the truth when you are asked questions!"

Sitting in the waiting area at the door of the courtroom, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Haisa all felt nervous. Their hearts are heavy as Pettigrew's trial will determine his future. They discussed countermeasures in a low voice, and even simulated court questions and answers. Anakin stood quietly aside, seeing their nervousness, he reminded them.

"Actually, the chance of winning this verdict is very high. Don't be too nervous. It will only affect your performance. Didn't Professor Dumbledore just tell us? Just tell the truth. Anyway, the main thing is to stick to your own point of view. . If you have anything to hide, just say you don’t know! I don’t know! Anyway, don’t lie!” His voice was firm. Anakin thought for a moment and cast a magic spell on them, "Soothing Mind." In an instant, a gentle sense of tranquility spread throughout their hearts, and the tension weakened.

"Thank you, Anakin, what kind of spell is this?" Haisa asked curiously.

"Heart Soothing. I saw it in the library. The function of this spell is to soothe people's hearts and relieve their worries and tensions."

Anakin reminded again: "Mrs. Peter may use the Order of Merlin as an issue to try to reduce your credibility. You can use Pettigrew's actual achievements to refute. After all, he did not receive the first-class Knight Merlin at that time. He is just a brave man who died for his friends and has nothing worth bragging about. In addition, there were too many people like Pettigrew who died heroically during the Wizarding War, so you can even propose to withdraw the medal. Or pass it on to Sirius."

Harry and others were chatting when the door to the waiting room was suddenly opened. A solemn Auror stood at the door and said to Anakin: "Mr. Anakin Wilson, Defender Albus Percy Val Wulfric Brian Dumbledore begs your witness!"

Anakin followed immediately. The Auror opened the door and said expressionlessly. "Go in!" Anakin strode in. Noisy discussions continued to reach his ears, and then he realized that there was a closed space inside.

A solemn atmosphere rushed towards me. The walls of the courtroom were made of dark stone, giving off an ancient sense of solemnity. The dim light casts only a faint glow where necessary, while towering magical fires on either side light the way to the central platform.

On the central platform, Sirius and Pettigrew were sitting on two chained seats respectively. Their hands and feet were bound by heavy chains and they could not move freely. The entire courtroom looked solemn and solemn, as if it were a sacred ritual place.
