Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

"You have not filed any notice and we cannot recognize your defense status."

Fudge looked at Dumbledore, who had a calm expression on his face. He was conjuring an armchair and sitting next to Cyrus.

"But Minister Fudge's hasty change of the time and location of the hearing is really distressing. Why should a hearing be held in the trial hall where Death Eaters are tried just for violating the regulations on using spells in front of Muggles? And these handcuffs …”

Dumbledore's tone became deeper, and Cyrus saw Dumbledore's face for the first time. The kind and kind expression disappeared, and every wrinkle on his face seemed to exude coldness.

Fudge was about to defend himself when a female voice came from the Wizengamot jury,

"I also think this hearing was too hasty and inappropriate. It is too cold-blooded to allow a newly graduated child to participate in the hearing alone while wearing the handcuffs used by prisoners. There is no defender. This is not in compliance with the regulations of the Ministry of Magic."

Amelia Susan Burns, Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, was one of the few people who dared to question Fudge directly.

As she finished speaking, she received support from many jury members.

Fudge could only keep his anger in his stomach, and then his eyes lit up and he looked at Cyrus,

"Indeed, if it is a normal little wizard, we don't need to be so cautious. But this "child" who just graduated is the champion of the Triwizard Tournament. She used extremely lethal black magic in the competition. This is not something that just any little wizard can do."

"I think using the word black magic to evaluate may be too one-sided. The magic spell used by Cyrus is a water spell unique to the Fire and Slytherin families. We cannot regard the magic spell as black magic because of its powerful power. .

Many families have the ability to use powerful fire, and there are many wizards with extraordinary talents. So can we call them dark wizards? The waves used by Cyrus are also mainly for protection. She has used these powerful spells to protect the students of Hogwarts more than once. "

Cyrus raised the corner of his mouth, "Regarding this matter, I will also give a legal summons to those who have recently spread rumors that I am a dark wizard. Slytherin will pursue such baseless accusations to the end."

Cyrus and Dumbledore looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that they were not being interrogated, but that they were judging others.

"Then please allow me to call two witnesses."

Dumbledore didn't give Fudge a chance to speak, and Hermione and Harry entered the room. Both of them looked angry when they saw the handcuffs tightly clasping Cyrus's hands. Hermione remained rational and grabbed Harry's hand to signal him to calm down.

"Miss Granger, why did you and Miss Slytherin appear in a Muggle town?"

Dumbledore's tone was calm, and Hermione took a deep breath. She had practiced alone many times just to not hold Cyrus back today.

"Miss Slytherin, Miss Foley, and I agreed to go shopping together in London. All the places we visited had receipts for the items we purchased, and Miss Foley who was traveling with us can also testify. After the day's trip, we decided Go visit your classmate, Harry Potter."

"Due to her novelty to the Muggle world, her actions left a deep impression on many people. I think Minister Fudge sent some of his men to find out, and it will be easy to verify this."

"Then why did Miss Slytherin use the Patronus Charm?"

"We encountered Harry and his cousin being chased by two Dementors. The situation was critical. Miss Slytherin had no choice but to use the Patronus Charm to protect us."

"Are you sure you saw a dementor? Why did you think it was a dementor?"

"When we entered the third year of Hogwarts, because of Sirius Black's case, the Ministry of Magic sent many dementors to wander around the school. We also met the cameramen conducting inspections on the train to Hogwarts. Soul monsters. I can be 100% sure that they are two dementors."

"So Mr. Harry Potter, is what Miss Granger said true?"

"It's all true!"

Dumbledore nodded, looked around the jury, and said in a loud and clear voice, "As two people who have personally seen Dementors, they are convinced that there were indeed two Dementors present at the scene, and Miss Slytherin's actions were all Acting in an emergency to protect others. Any other questions?"

There was a sweet laugh from the jury. The sound was not loud, but the words were very clear, "Children's childish loyalty game."

Cyrus saw a hint of pink in the crowd from a distance, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. This bitch has reached this point and still doesn't forget to impress her boss.

Several people simply ignored her statement. Cyrus looked at Fudge, "I remember that the dementors have always been unilaterally owned by the Ministry of Magic. It's really strange. Why do the dementors who only listen to the Ministry of Magic suddenly appear? Or is there someone on purpose? Take them out..."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Umbridge, who quickly looked away and stopped asking questions.

Fudge looked at Cyrus fiercely, and Dumbledore stood up and adjusted the wizard's robe. "I think I have nothing more to say. Those who agree to withdraw this accusation raise their hands."

Dumbledore raised his hands first, Hermione and Harry raised their hands, and then nearly half of the jury also raised their hands.

"I hereby declare... withdrawn! The charges against Miss Slytherin..."

Cyrus gave a middle finger to Fudge who was gritting his teeth. Hermione and Harry excitedly stepped forward and hugged Cyrus.

Cyrus was unable to laugh. Dumbledore turned back and winked at Cyrus.

"Father, you shouldn't have come."

"How could I sit idly by when my daughter was wronged?"

"Come on Cyrus, let's go back and celebrate. Sirius is waiting to drink with you!"

The two men who were about to pull Cyrus up were stopped by the guards. Cyrus let go of their hands.

"You have done enough, father. Please help me keep an eye on Gellert and the others."

The sound of a stone hammer hitting the table came, "Then let's move on to the next item, the trial investigation on the emergence of Cyrus Slytherin's prophecy! Since this case involves major events, please leave those who have nothing to do with it!"

"What's going on?! Why is there another trial? Cyrus!" Hermione and Harry tried to ask Cyrus, but were pushed away by the guards. When they were about to knock the guards away, a pair of big hands held them down.

Heavy and powerful hands pressed firmly on their shoulders, and Harry felt as if his bones were being crushed. Dumbledore's deep voice sounded, "Let's go, this is her decision."

Dumbledore sent Hermione and Harry to the Black Mansion and left in a hurry. Kate didn't know where she went.

The two told everyone what happened. Sirius walked back and forth in the house anxiously, Lupine remained silent, and Mrs. Weasley sat with her hands clasped together and praying with a worried look on her face.

The twins joked to lighten the atmosphere, "Cyrus will definitely be fine, she's so powerful, isn't she?"

Witt sat motionless by the fireplace, as if he wanted to throw himself into Cyrus's arms the moment she appeared. This wait is just one night.

It was getting slightly brighter when there was a knock on the door. Sirius ran to open the door regardless of his numb legs.

Moody walked in on crutches. He looked at the people in the room who had not slept all night, threw down a few newspapers and leaned against the wall without saying a word.

Several people sat around and read newspapers. Hermione's eyes turned red. Sirius, who was blocked behind everyone, shouted quickly: "What's going on? Is it the news about the cancellation of Cyrus' charges?!"

Lupine trembled slightly as he held the newspaper, almost crushing it.

"A prophecy about the extreme danger of the Slytherin heir suddenly appeared. The Ministry of Magic will detain Cyrus Slytherin in accordance with the law and investigate until the prophecy is clearly investigated. The suspect will be imprisoned in Azkaban!" 》

"The overachieving heir of Slytherin can't summon the Patronus Charm?" ! Does it mean that she is a dark wizard? 》

"She who masters black magic such as sharp fire will become a disaster in the wizarding world. 》

"Will the Heir of Slytherin become the next Dark Lord?" 》

"Is the greatest wizard too old and confused?" 》

Sirius grabbed the newspaper and read the headlines one by one. He felt as if his brain had been kicked hard. He sat on the ground and read the newspaper over and over again in disbelief.

The more carefully he looked, the more he felt that this was just an illusion made by Cyrus to tease them. As he read along the words, he was struck by a piece of news announced by the Ministry of Magic.

"A new prophecy has appeared in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic: an heir who should not have existed awakens from thousands of years ago with disaster, and thousands of lives will be lost at her hands."

"No... no... this must be a slander from the Ministry of Magic. How could Cyrus do this! Remus, am I right? It must be Cyrus who is teasing us..."

Sirius looked at Lupine, who was silent, and then at Moody, "Is what the Ministry of Magic said true? How do they know that the prophecy is about Cyrus! This prophecy may not be true, right?"

No one answered Sirius anymore, "Damn it! You guys are talking!!"

"The prophecies that appear in the Department of Mysteries were predicted by all certified prophets. The fact that the Ministry of Magic dares to publish such news shows that this prophecy does exist."

Moody crossed his arms and spoke calmly. Sirius grabbed Moody's shoulders and roared angrily. No matter how much Lupine tried to dissuade him, he could not calm down.

"Sirius! Calm down! We believe Cyrus, I believe her! We need to calmly think about what to do now."

"How?! She has been imprisoned in Azkaban! And why can't she cast the Patronus Charm?! How did she save us in the first place?! How did she save Harry!"

"Cyrus's Patronus Charm is issued through alchemical products. I saw it last time at Privet Drive... I thought it was just a method used by Cyrus to deal with the accusations from the Ministry of Magic." Hermione wiped her tears and leaned against him. Beside Ron,

Sirius suddenly said excitedly: "Cyrus knows how to escape from Azkaban! She was the one who reminded me in the first place, she must..."

"Cyrus also said during the Triwizard Tournament that she didn't know how to animagus. How could she really learn it in such a short time... Damn it! It's all my fault, otherwise the Ministry of Magic wouldn't be able to do it. Take advantage of this!" Harry punched the table hard.

Lupine looked at Moody, "Is this a foregone conclusion? Why is it so sudden?"

"I heard that the Ministry of Magic transferred her to Azkaban last night."

"hateful!"

Sirius stood up and was about to leave. A spell fell on the ground. Moody picked up the crutch and said, "You can't leave! This is Dumbledore's order!"

A white shadow flashed in the corner, Moody's wand issued a spell, and Witt was immediately hit and flew backwards, "I mean everyone! You can't leave!"

There was a loud sound of a long whip hitting the ground. Witte held the long whip tightly and got into an attack stance, "I'm going to find her."

Moody snorted, "Boy, now is not the time to act like a hero!"

Moody stood up and pointed at a wand pointed at him, "Let's go bring Cyrus back. I don't care about the Ministry of Magic."

Sirius took the lead in raising his wand, and Lupin was also beside him. "If Cyrus really cannot release the Patronus Curse, she will be in more danger from the dementors than us."

Harry looked at the twins and stood up and took out his wand, "Let's go too!"

Hermione frowned and picked up her wand and pointed it at Moody, "Sorry Professor Moody, I need to go find Principal Dumbledore to find out.

Arthur pressed on Moody's shoulder, "Alastor, did Dumbledore really tell us not to do anything?"

There was a loud bang, and Kreacher appeared among the crowd. He held the pendant hanging on his chest tightly, then looked at Arthur, took out a silver snake-shaped earring from his hand and handed it to him,

"Miss Slytherin asked me to give this to you, Mr. Weasley, please take it with you."

Then he walked to Sirius and gave him the other earring, "Whenever you are in danger, they will appear to protect you."

Sirius looked at the earring in his hand. He squatted down anxiously and grabbed Kreacher, "What else did she say?! Why did she give the basilisk to us?!"

Kreacher walked up to Witt and grabbed his wrist, "Miss Slytherin told me that if she didn't come back last night, she would give you the earrings. Mr. Witt, the lady asked me to take you back to Hogwart." Now, Mr. Cool and Slytherin will be there.

By the way, Master, the lady has left a message for you: Please don’t come over and cause trouble to me. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Kreacher disappeared with Witt. Arthur looked blankly at the earring in his hand, and then looked at Sirius questioningly.

Sirius, who thought he would go berserk again, sat down. He held his earrings tightly and suddenly laughed, then suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

"The next time we meet, it won't be just a few bottles of wine..."

Lupine took a deep breath and patted Harry and the others, "Although I'm very reluctant, I think what we can do now is not to cause her any trouble."

In the prison that smelled of rust and putrefaction, cockroaches and rats crawled around in the darkness.

New and heavy chains and shackles bound Cyrus's limbs. She was imprisoned on the highest floor of Azkaban, enduring the shouts of the already crazy Death Eaters around her all day long.

Compared to other prisoners who have no restraints on their bodies, the chains all over her body declare her specialness, even every finger is attached with chains.

She was pale, with no trace of blood on her face, and her eyes were hollow and numb.

She was surprisingly quiet, leaning against the wall motionless all day long. Everyone thought she was dead, even when the dementors sucked the happy emotions out of her without making any sound.

What's strange is that the dementors don't seem to be interested in her. They just take a few symbolic puffs and then leave.

The prisoners on this floor heard the word "Slytherin" in Cyrus's name on the first day she came in. Some were silent, some were excited and regarded her as a Death Eater, and some expressed disdain and dismissed her. He continued to curse and scorn, and the first person to bear the brunt was Bella, Voldemort's craziest subordinate.

A prisoner who had robbed his master of his noble identity was imprisoned on a floor full of Death Eaters. Naturally, this "coincidental" arrangement was Fudge's fault.

"Only my noble master deserves the name of Slytherin! You bitch thief!"

"Hahaha! Die quickly, die quickly!"

"Master, he is coming to pick me up, I can feel it! I believe he will kill you the first thing he sees you!"

However, the only response she received was silence. It seemed that due to mental disorder, Bella still insisted on scolding and ridiculing Cyrus.
