Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

Chapter 45 The trial is over

Mrs. Peter probably knew that there was no hope for this trial. She suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears. "Judge...Presiding judge, please forgive me for my gaffe. I, as a mother, I have been separated from my child for more than ten years. It is not easy to see each other again today...I...I Can't be separated from him anymore..."

Tears rolled down Mrs. Peter's face. She wiped them away with trembling hands and looked hopefully at the presiding judge and everyone present. Her performance is unbelievable, as if she really is a mother who has been forced to be separated from her child for many years and now finally has the chance to meet him.

The atmosphere in the trial hall instantly became solemn. Under Mrs. Peter's performance, some people began to doubt Anakin's accusations. Mrs. Peter's words and emotions began to shake people, and they began to doubt everything before. Coupled with Mrs. Peter's full head of white hair, old face and patched robe, it makes the listener sad and the listener weeping...

The presiding judge frowned, clearly affected by Mrs. Peter's emotional performance, but he tried to remain calm. "Please calm down, Mrs. Peter. We need to ensure that the trial is fair and objective. If you have evidence to support your words, we will seriously consider it."

Mrs. Peter stood up tremblingly. She took out a letter from her sleeve, her voice full of trembling: "This is a letter I just received recently. It is a letter from my son. He wrote it to me. He is here." The letter said he missed me very much and was eager to see me again. He even mentioned his traumatic experience at Hogwarts."

She handed the letter to the presiding judge. The content of the letter showed that Peter Pettigrew indeed longed to be reunited with his mother, but the letter did not explicitly mention the accusation against Anakin. The presiding judge took the letter, read it carefully, then frowned, and had to admit that this was a touching letter home.

Mrs. Peter seized this opportunity and continued to cry and plead: "Please, Judge, I don't ask you to let my son go. I just hope that he can be detained in Azkaban for a few years, so that when he is imprisoned, When I’m released, at least, at least I can see him again.”

You must know that the court system in the wizarding world is very different from that of Muggles. The votes of the committee members can greatly affect the final verdict. Even the presiding judge is not qualified to disagree with their decision. Anakin knew that if Mrs. Peter kept talking like this, the situation would definitely get worse.

"Mrs. Peter, I can understand your grief, but you have to remember one thing. Your child Peter Pettigrew is not a poor person who made a small mistake, he is a hateful Death Eater! He shamelessly killed Poltergeist. The hiding place of the special couple was leaked to the mysterious man, betraying those close friends who were willing to entrust their lives to him, and almost killing the hope of the wizarding world, the savior Harry Potter!" Anakin said loudly, letting the other party know that Pettigrew's crimes were recalled to Mrs. Te's sympathetic committee members.

"Harry Potter is a hero who successfully defeated You-Know-Who! It is because of his existence that we got rid of You-Know-Who's brutal rule. However, this hero has never been able to have a happy family or experience. Parents who love and care for them. You may not know how our hero spent these more than ten years."

"What you may not know is that he was adopted by his Muggle relatives, but suffered a deep hatred towards the wizarding world. Poor Harry was abused since he was a child because he was different! He was forced to live in a small storage room Here, I was burdened with countless housework, wore shabby clothes that others did not want, suffered ruthless bullying from my peers, and even often went to bed hungry..."

"You may not know that Harry has a lightning-shaped scar on his head. It was his only survivor of the attack, and it is also a symbol of the huge price he paid to protect the wizarding world. His parents, for his survival , stood bravely in front of the mysterious man and laid down his life. Harry became the savior of the world, but he also became a child without a family."

"So, Mrs. Peter, although you have the right to defend your son, I hope you can understand that what our hero Harry Potter experienced was a miserable and painful childhood. He did not have the care of his parents, How he spent those lonely years without a warm family, we don’t know, but we should applaud his tenacity and courage and applaud his achievements.”

"However, now when Harry finally has someone who cares about him, someone who truly loves him, someone who feels gratified and proud when Harry gets glory, and who will silently support and encourage Harry when he fails, and when he is in danger, There is no hesitation to go through life and death. Only Sirius's love can save Harry and make him no longer a lonely child. But now, in this sacred place, we are endlessly arguing here about whether the child should be allowed to die. Pettigrew, the sinner who destroyed Harry's family, framed Sirius, who had always loved Harry, and caused him to be wrongly tortured. There is a way to get a reduced sentence. But here we sympathize with this shameless sinner. Compared to Pettigrew For the grievances of Peter and Mrs. Peter, we should sympathize more with our savior Harry Potter and our hero Sirius Black!"

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall became more solemn, everyone fell into silence, the eyes of the audience began to moisten, and the trial court was silent. They were deeply touched by Anakin's words and couldn't help but reflect on Harry Potter's experience and Pettigrew's crimes. It took a long time before anyone could speak.

They have long forgotten the grievances in Mrs. Peter's life. There is no new generation of wizards who can sit here! Everyone has experienced the last Wizarding War, experienced the terror of You-Know-Who and the Death Eater Legion, and all have some gratitude for Harry who ended You-Know-Who.

The infected wizards and witches looked at Peter with contempt, disdain, and annoyance. Finally, the chief judge stood up and asked.

"Mr. Anakin, can you guarantee that what you just said is true? Is Harry Potter's life really...really as miserable as you described?"

"Yes, sir! Harry Potter is in the waiting room now and will testify in court later. You can ask yourself then!" Anakin replied.

As Anakin left the Inquisition, everyone stood and clapped.

As soon as he stepped onto the threshold of the waiting hall, Harry and others who were sitting inside hurriedly came over to greet him, asking questions all over the place.

"Anakin..you're back! How's things going?"

“Did we win the case?”
