Hogwarts Life Guide

"Looks like the problem is solved!" Lupine climbed upstairs and held up the Daily Prophet in his hand to draw Harry's attention away from his Aunt Petunia's strange behavior. "You must not have read the latest newspaper. .”

He handed the newspaper to Sirius and said, "Look at page two."

"Fudge is going to hold the hearing in public..." Sirius only read the title and Fudge's picture below, then closed the newspaper again and sneered: "He looks like he has a chance to win."

Dumbledore took the newspaper and read it carefully before speaking: "Sirius, you should be more careful. The article mentioned at the end that the start time of the hearing is two hours earlier than we were notified before."

"They shouldn't have thought of notifying us a second time." Lu Ping said with a smile. He discovered this after getting the newspaper.

The interrupted meeting continued. After Dumbledore and Lupine left, Sirius stayed and said a few words.He left Harry's room, and Tangning hesitated for a moment before chasing after him.

"Sirius, wait a minute."

"Tangning, what's wrong?"

"I just heard you say that Harry's aunt is willing to continue raising Harry. Is this because she believes in Harry's innocence, or because she chooses to forgive Harry?"

……

Since Fudge chose to make the hearing public, the address could only be changed to an empty hall at the Ministry of Magic.When Tangning and Cousin Tonks arrived early, they found that the venue also occupied part of the wide walkway at the entrance of the hall.

Mr. and Mrs. Tonks did not come to watch, but cousin Tonks just went to the department to report in and then returned directly.

"Is it already working time?"

"Yes, I'm working to ensure that the growing audience doesn't cause trouble when the hearing begins!" Cousin Tonks said with a proud smile.

Not long after, the judges arrived one after another, and Harry was led by Dumbledore to sit in the dock.Dumbledore will defend Harry.

People who came to watch the hearing were still rushing here, and Tangning saw many Hogwarts classmates.

The person presiding over the hearing was Fudge himself, who was on fire at the beginning of the hearing: "...accusing Harry Potter of maliciously using the blasting curse with the intention of harming his aunt's family who has been raising him..."

"Potter, are you aware that wizards under the age of 17 are not allowed to use magic outside of school?"

"I know, but..."

"Were you sure your wand was still on you after the explosion and until the Ministry of Magic arrived?"

"Yes, but I..."

"Okay, so after the incident, the staff of the Ministry of Magic used the pre-flashback spell to detect the blasting spell from your wand. Is it true?"

"Yes, but..."

"Then it's obvious that Harry Potter has admitted his crime. Lies always have loopholes, and these are the loopholes that Harry Potter can't eliminate!"

Harry was so robbed by Fudge that he had nowhere to reply.

"No one can prove that this blasting curse came from Harry Potter!" Dumbledore finally spoke.

"But no one can prove otherwise! There were no witnesses at the time," Fudge retorted.

"No, I have witnesses."

Seeing the witness, Tangning whispered to her cousin Tonks, "It seems Sirius succeeded. It was my suggestion!"

Harry sat on the large chair, nervous, until he saw Aunt Petunia appear in sight, with a bruise on her face.

'Is she here to accuse me? ' Harry thought so, and then he realized that Aunt Petunia was invited by Dumbledore.

'Why did she come back?What would she say? 'Harry couldn't care less about his nervousness, his mind was full of mixed thoughts, and he really wanted to ask.

Unfortunately, the course of the hearing would not be changed by Harry's will.

"Mrs. Dursley, we will ask you a few questions. Please answer them truthfully." Amelia said. As the director of the Legal Enforcement Department, she has no less power and status in the Wizengamot than Fudge. She has absolute authority. Qualifications of questioning witnesses.

"Before answering the question, please allow me to introduce myself." Petunia's voice trembled, entering the magical world that she had always been afraid of, making her very nervous. "I am Harry's aunt...yes, the explosion destroyed my house. You are different, I am not a wizard."

"In the past, I hated magic and the wizarding world, so I never wanted Harry to go to Hogwarts like his mother and my sister. I admit that in my heart I envied Lily and Harry. Possessing abilities that I don’t have… I still remember when Lily received the Hogwarts notice, I wrote a letter to Dumbledore, and then I knew what a ‘gentle rejection’ was.”

There was faint laughter from the audience, but the initiator quickly discovered that this was not a suitable scene.

"Please say something related to the case!" Fudge, who presided over the hearing, emphasized.

"This is very important!" Penny emphasized that the real situation did not exceed expectations and she was no longer so nervous. "Later, my sister and I gradually became people in two worlds. But... one day, I suddenly received a letter saying that Lily died, and I still don’t know who killed her..."

"These have nothing to do with the case!" Fudge hit the hammer hard. Although Voldemort's name did not appear, his heart still beat rapidly.

Penny clutched her chest and was also shocked.

"Connelly, we can at least learn from Mrs. Dursley, who is both a witness and a victim, what kind of person the boy we are trying is like!" Amelia did not show much mercy to Fudge. Turning to Penny, he said, "Witness please continue..."

Petunia took a deep breath and spoke again: "I'm not saying this to prove how scared I am of you. Before the bombing happened, if there was a chance to make Harry a normal person and stay away from those weird magics, then I will make my choice without hesitation. I am afraid that one day, I will receive a letter again, and the content of the letter will become Harry's obituary..."

"Ha ha……"

Petunia's self-narration was interrupted again, and Umbridge attracted a lot of attention.She was very proud of receiving so much attention and raised her chin proudly: "As far as I know, your relationship with Harry is not good."

"You can't understand my fear..." Petunia also raised her chin. She didn't know Umbridge's identity and wasn't afraid of her at all.

"It's a pity that I couldn't stop Harry from enrolling in school. When he was 11 years old, even though we took Harry and tried hard to avoid the owls delivering messages one after another, finally, a tall fat man came to the door... Later, things turned out to be true. The worst has happened. Harry, like Lily, has made some strange friends. When his friends show up at my house, they bring a lot of trouble every time..."

After saying that, Petunia looked at Umbridge as if to say: Look!This is why relationships are bad!

Moreover, doesn't the poor relationship mean that Petunia is less likely to lie for Harry?

"This is exactly why Harry Potter wants to blow up the house, he hates you!" Umbridge made a shrill voice.

"This is no reason! They are relatives," Dumbledore answered on Petunia's behalf. "Many people know that my brother and I don't have a good relationship, but we have never wanted to hurt each other."

The scene was quiet for a while, and Amelia said: "Witnesses, please continue."

"Now, things are different. I know that Harry has discovered something. The murderer of my sister is back! I watched Harry grow up and I know what kind of person he is. He will not be here Lying about it! Just like he couldn't have taken the initiative to blow up our house."

Fudge had been paying attention to the status of the fifty members of the Wizengamot. Seeing that Petunia was getting more and more emotional as she spoke, he couldn't help but interrupt: "With all due respect, according to the records, Harry Potter had been there after his second year. During the summer vacation, she blew up her aunt into a balloon at your house,"

"That's because she insulted Lily! This just shows the status of my sister in Harry's heart, and he is even less likely to lie about the murderer." Petunia was not panicked at all, and she even expected Fudge to say this. Paragraph, "As a wizard, you should know better than I the uncontrollability of young wizards. But I learned that the magic that destroyed the house was different."

Dumbledore added timely: "The biggest question is how an underage wizard can successfully use evil curses that he has never had the opportunity to come into contact with. There must be another conspiracy behind the matter, and we cannot let some doubts remain. The evidence alone convicts Harry Potter, and he cannot be expelled from Hogwarts just because of suspicion!"

After that, Dumbledore walked towards Fudge with his hands on his abdomen and lowered his voice and said, "Connelly, I beg you to see the reality clearly. It is an indisputable fact that the Dark Lord is back!"

Fudge looked down at Dumbledore from top to bottom, leaning half on the podium. He also lowered his voice and responded word for word: "He's not back!"

"I know James and Lily, and their son will never be a clown trying to impress the public!" Someone among the onlookers stood up and shouted loudly, which attracted whispers from the onlookers, and some people whispered in agreement.

But soon, the Ministry of Magic staff who maintained order calmed down the commotion of the crowd.

"Okay, let's start the voting. If you think Harry Potter is guilty, please raise your hands." Amelia promptly proposed the final vote without even asking a question.However, there is really no need to ask questions.

Feeling bad, Fudge could do nothing but raise his hands and give Amelia a vicious look.

About one-third of the Wizengamot members present raised their hands, and Umbridge raised her hands above her head for fear that others would not see her.

After counting, Amelia said again: "If you think Harry Potter is innocent, please raise your hands!"

After saying that, she immediately raised her hand.This time, the number of people was more than half, and even some people in the audience raised their hands.

After counting the results again, Amelia declared Harry Potter not guilty on the spot.

Under the gloomy expressions of Fudge, Umbridge and others, many viewers cheered directly.

Only then did Tangning notice that there were a few familiar faces in the audience that he hadn't noticed, such as Neville. The old woman next to him should be his grandmother.

Lucius Malfoy hid in the corner and watched with cold eyes.
