[HP] Born Noble
Chapter 74 Battle of Public Opinion
Slytherin Code of Conduct Sixty: Public opinion represents the opinion of the majority, but it doesn't mean it's correct Just as Sirius and Harry were packing their bags, letters arrived in Harry's bedroom one after another: The senior deputy minister who oversees the Law Enforcement Department personally wrote a letter to inquire about the situation-as soon as the deputy minister intervened in this matter, the Ministry of Magic sent another letter, changing the 'interrogation' to 'appointment with the commissioner to investigate the statement' .
Then it was Dean Snape who specially sprayed the venom. In the letter, he seriously warned the green-eyed little snake who often caused troubles that he had better keep his own place, or he would be locked up after school!More importantly, a special warning to that same brainless Gryffindor, don't act like a fried gamecock, under such an unusual attack, just to avoid the stupid charges of the Ministry of Magic, rashly take yourself His godson went out to wander, and pointed out that at this time, "Only Privet Drive protected by blood magic is the safest protection place." '
Draco directly sent a double-sided mirror and asked to talk as soon as possible.
In the end, it was Dumbledore who specifically asked them to stay on Privet Drive for another day. At least to transfer Harry, they had to make proper arrangements for the guards and make sure that there would be no accidents along the way—these arrangements were It takes time.
"Okay!" Harry shrugged, not caring, "Anyway, we have no way to pack this pile of things before today."
Sirius held the letters, scratched his head dejectedly and looked at Harry's messy bedroom - how could the two of them have left the room without a place to stand in just one month?
Early the next morning, Harry was transferred from No. 4 Privet Drive, which was protected by blood magic, to No. 12, Grimmauld Place, which was impregnable. He was escorted by Professor Moody and four people who were said to be Aurors to ensure his safety along the way. Yu.
Then at 12 Grimmauld Place, two staff members of the Ministry of Magic who were in charge of investigating this matter were already waiting in the living room of Black's old house, investigating and recording the situation at that time.
Sirius has testified about the Patronus Charm, and it can indeed be detected from Sirius' wand that he has fired the Patronus Charm, and the last one of Harry Potter's wand is the Transfiguration Charm. A hedgehog turned into a pincushion, so there is no doubt that the innocent accusation of Harry Potter's use of magic on minor holidays was wiped from the record within 36 hours, and of course there was no trial or anything like that. It no longer exists.
But that alone was enough to send Sirius away?
As soon as the two staff members of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic left, the legal adviser he had invited arrived.
"Everything is one thing at a time," Sirius said, sitting in the elegant and gorgeous living room, holding black tea in his hand, showing the rare ancient and noble Black patriarch's money, "revoke Harry's unreasonable accusation of minors using magic outside of school That's what they deserve, and I'm letting them go if I don't make them pay for a wrongful conviction. But the fact that Harry was attacked by dementors in a Muggle-inhabited area for no reason - no end! Alix , help me draft a lawsuit, I want to sue the Ministry of Magic for malfeasance, I want them to give a reasonable explanation why the dementors who should stay in Azkaban come out to the Muggle Quarter and try to attack Harry Potter!"
Sirius's accusation has a very small chance of winning the lawsuit. This is an objective fact. Because Harry is his godson and the victim in the accusation, his testimony can only be used as a reference and nothing else. Witnesses, and just because Sirius released a small Patronus spell, it is not enough to be believed that he was trying to drive away the dementors at the time, nor is it enough to prove that the dementors did leave Azkaban and really went to Privet Drive tries to attack Harry Potter.
But what does it matter?
You can't win a lawsuit, but there's Rita Skeeter!
[The dementor tries to give the Boy Who Lived a kiss—conspiracy, or accident? ] Such a sensational headline was widely publicized by the Daily Prophet after Sirius submitted a lawsuit to the Ministry of Magic.
["The Ministry of Magic is doing its best to ensure public safety. Regarding this matter, it is inconvenient for me to express my opinion on this matter, but I can guarantee that no matter whether this matter has happened or not, we will conduct a thorough and complete inspection of the internal system to ensure prevent any omissions."
The former public attitude of a platinum senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic is still in my ears, but according to the latest news, Mr. Fudge has made it clear on a formal occasion that the dementors are under the control of the Ministry of Magic, "They are still Strictly obey our orders and stay in Azkaban in an orderly manner."
Events have diverged, and if the Ministry is so persistent, we can only suspect Mr. Sirius Black is lying for unknown reasons.I regret to say that the man who was once recognized as "brave and loyal" squatted alone in Azkaban for ten years because he believed in the wrong person and killed his friend, and repented of his negligence. The man, now openly lied that he saw a dementor, and released a profound and powerful Patronus spell on a morning jog...] As soon as this issue of the newspaper came out, the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic was almost followed by one after another. Owls covered up, howling letters exploded everywhere, and the angry screams of all kinds of women filled the second floor of the Ministry of Magic—for the statement of the Ministry of Magic insulted the loyal and honest Black in their hearts—it seemed to be heard from a distance. A carload of Felibard fireworks roared.
trial one
"Mr. Potter, did you see a dementor at that time?"
"I do not have."
"Then before you were 'attacked', did you see or understand what a dementor is from other means?"
"Sorry, I don't know." Harry answered the defense lawyer's question sullenly.He hated himself for the first time, Sirius suffered ten years of nightmares from dementors, but he never thought about going to know what happened to Sirius, damn it, he [should] know what it was!
"So you don't know Dementors?"
"I do not recognize."
"So you have no way of judging whether you have been attacked by a dementor."
"...Yes." Harry was frustrated.
"Your Honor, my question is over."
Lawyer Alix stood up, "Mr. Potter, what state were you in when you were attacked?"
"I— fainted."
"So before you fainted, did you feel anything different?"
"It's very cold. At first, I just felt cold from the outside, but later, I felt cold from the inside, dark, icy, with a rotten stench, which brought back bad, bad memories for me. And then I was in the dark, and I thought the back...me, I passed out." Harry thought that was a shame.
"Your Honor," the defense lawyer stood up, "Dementors don't attack people until they become unconscious, and Mr. Potter didn't witness a dementor, so Mr. Potter's description obviously wasn't attacked by a dementor."
Lawyer Alix ignored the other party's defense lawyer and continued to ask, "Harry, what are those bad, bad memories of yours?"
"I can't say it, it's as if all the happiness has been sucked away, and only the things I don't want to mention are left in my mind. I heard a woman screaming..."
The defense lawyer stood up again, "Your Honor, I want to remind you that dementors don't make women's screams..."
"Mr. Stoke," Alix interrupted the opposing lawyer calmly, "I think you should understand the identity of Mr. Harry Potter standing here, or at least, you should know what he has suffered What an ordeal! Please do not judge Mr. Porter by the past of an ordinary 15-year-old happy, innocent, carefree child, that is an insult to him! One night 14 years ago, Mr. Porter encountered The horror scene that you can't even imagine until now, the woman's scream, of course it's not the scream of a dementor, it's the most tragic and sad scene that exists deep in the memory of Mr Potter's mind..."
"Enough!" Sirius yelled and interrupted Alix, he admitted that Alix's words were sharp, and he admitted that such a statement would win maximum sympathy, but, enough!Sirius looked at his godson distressedly, "Alex, if possible, please don't continue this topic."
Harry froze completely - so, was that his mother's voice?
Dementors can suck away people's happiness and evoke the darkest and most terrifying memories in people's hearts—so, he heard his mother's panic, anger, and pleading for help... Maybe it's also to protect himself... Dying previous struggles.This was the first time he heard his mother's voice, but it was her struggle and fear before she died.
Harry realized for the first time.
The terrified scream, for Voldemort, was also for his protection—Harry's hand was shaking as he clenched the railing, and he grabbed the railing very hard to keep calm, but it didn't work out, and it became more and more difficult for him to suppress the trembling.
Alix didn't ask any further questions, and in fact, the strong Slytherin lawyer, in full view of the journalists, gently broke Harry's clenched fingers (a flash of light); Lead down from the high stand (a flash of light);
Touching Harry's head (a piece of flashing light);
Whisper comforting (in the flash...);
Lead Harry to Sirius with his own hands (during a long flash...)
[I couldn’t stand it anymore. I have to say that at least half of the people in the Wizengamot were in tears on the spot. That kind of trial was too cruel. Yes, I don’t want to repeat our catastrophe here again How good the Undead Boy is, I think this is already known to everyone—a Hogwarts straight-A student, a team member of the Full Score Club, and more importantly, the person he once repelled, making that person disappear for more than ten years !I think everyone may have gotten used to his strength and bravery.But what I want to remind is that he is only 15 years old after all, no matter how good he is, he is still a child!
Dementors have always been horrible creatures that suck away people's happiness for a living. They remind us of the scariest past in our lives. Without my reminding, everyone will guess that scene. Those two dementors made that What did the boy remember!
Even though I'm a reporter, I'm supposed to report this truthfully and neutrally, without personal emotion, but I want to say here - I can't help - oh, I hate these dumb bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic, I Hate this horrible and brutal trial.
——Rita Skeeter reports live for you with tears]
Harry was very sad at first, because he felt the tragedy and greatness of his mother's sacrifice for the first time, but Sirius was more willing to teach him the motto of Gryffindor: a true warrior should learn to dry his tears after experiencing painful sorrow , hold your chest up, and face the future bravely—it has to be said that Sirius has been quite successful in educating his little lion.
So Harry's side quickly turned grief and anger into strength, but Rita Skeeter's report, coupled with the photo of Harry when he appeared in court, that beautiful, pale and sad face was so prominent on the front page. In a flash, the entire wizarding world almost went blind from crying over what happened to this tragic little hero.
After the reports were published, the doorway to 12 Grimmauld Place was almost disastrously overshadowed by piles of condolence cards, flowers, sweets and small gifts - several of whom worked with the Ministry of Magic's Incident Reversal Team and Amnestics Personnel had to be stationed at the gate of Black's old house, to prevent this scene from attracting the attention of Muggles - it seemed that mothers all over the world showed their motherly love to the boy who survived the catastrophe at this moment.
Narcissa immediately sat in the small living room of Black's old house, brought a large bag of candy, and kissed Harry's face, and Harry almost drowned in the embrace of the fat Mrs Weasley in the next second and under tears.
What had been a howling letter disaster from the Department of Law Enforcement had spread to the entire Ministry of Magic and to the private desk of Minister Fudge, a stubby Minister already battered by his own political image.
But a certain platinum senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic is drinking coffee leisurely at Malfoy Manor at this moment, reading the newspaper with a happy smile - because of the initial 'careless remarks' on this incident and the self-criticism of the Ministry of Magic , he was ordered by the Minister of Magic to take annual leave one step earlier, so this scandal that is destined to spread to the entire wizarding world has nothing to do with Lucius Malfoy at all-he was originally the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Law Enforcement The company, including its affiliated Azkaban Prison and Dementors, are all under Lucius' supervision. Deputy Minister Malfoy is to blame for this scandal, but now, His Majesty Lucius has completely resigned. Get out of the scandal, and win a relatively good reputation, commonly known as - whitewashing.
"Let that old idiot Fudge hold the fire!" Lucius put down the newspaper in satisfaction, and took out a list of names from his pocket, "Dosa."
With a bang, Lucius' elf appeared and bowed deeply, "Dosa obeys the master's orders."
"Give this list to Sirius and tell him that the lawyers on this list are all powerful people with a good reputation in civil cases. Please form a team of lawyers and let Mr. Black make good use of it."
"Yes, master!" The elf took the list, and apparated to Black's old house with a snap.
His Majesty Lucius poured himself a glass of wine, and Narcissa saw it. She put down the newspaper, not knowing whether to be angry or helpless, "Lucius, it's only morning!"
Lucius raised his glass, "Don't be such a spoiler, my charming Sissy, you should be celebrating your wise and wise husband's one step closer to the ministerial position!" And it didn't even have to be done.
Draco silently ate his omelet, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and admitted that he had learned another trick from his dear dad.
Trial two
"Mr. Black, you said you saw the dementor after your jog, while Mr. Potter was on his way to buy you a drink?"
"Yes. Two."
"Mr. Black, the average temperature that day was ninety degrees Fahrenheit, and you just finished jogging, so you must be very tired and very thirsty?"
"Yes."
"I have an investigation report from St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic and Magic that says that under the conditions of hunger, thirst, low pressure and high temperature, wizards can have hallucinations to varying degrees..."
[Mr. Black stated that he was just angry to ask the Ministry of Magic for an explanation, because his best friend's orphan and his own godson, Mr. Harry Potter, almost died under the kiss of a dementor.Oh, apparently, according to the Ministry of Magic's defense lawyer, it seems that Mr. Black was wrong, because he was so thirsty and hot that he had hallucinations and mistook the Dementor.We must admit that St. Mungo's medical investigation report is true, valid, and authoritative, but at the same time, let us see the other side of the matter. How does St. Mungo's investigation report explain a person who has lived with dementors day and night for ten years, Mistaking a Dementor?
——Report from Rita Skeeter's trial scene]
The Ministry of Magic had to send a large number of staff to sift through the owl letters, although quite a few of them were numb to the roars and explosions that rang through the Great Hall.
As soon as this statement is over, the members of the Wizengamot will have to vote on a show of hands next Monday when the trial is held again. Whether it is right or wrong, once the court pronounces the verdict, it will become an established fact.Because of this, people began to gather outside the golden hall of the Ministry of Magic all night. Most of them held up slogans and signs in their hands, asking the Ministry of Magic to admit their mistakes for their negligence as soon as possible and apologize to their golden boy.
As for the outcome of the final trial, Lucius had reached an agreement with Sirius.In fact, Sirius didn't have to ask the Ministry of Magic to pay financial compensation or make a public apology for this attack. He had a deep understanding of it himself - for the established facts, an apology or something has no practical meaning at all.
Sirius just wanted to step down on the Ministry of Magic as much as possible, to step on the sore feet of that old bastard Fudge, to discredit Fudge's government, and it would be best for him to step down and leave—because apart from Harry being attacked In addition, there is another important objective factor. According to the news from Principal Dumbledore, that idiot Fudge refuses to believe that Voldemort is back, refuses to use the name of the government to warn everyone to pay attention to social security, and there is a tendency to cover up the facts desperately. It's not going to do them any favors against Voldemort's war fighters!
Therefore, because of the above reasons, Lucius held a small private banquet this weekend before the final verdict. expressed his concerns.Although he is now forced to take a leave of absence, it can't help this matter at all, but even if the government is bad, the image of the public must be taken into account, especially in the current unstable situation, full of scandals, The magic world cannot be divided into a piece of sand because of an incompetent government. Even if they are at fault for this matter and Fudge mishandled it, but under the premise of unity, it is better not to be so decisive. Everything starts from the overall situation... Let's go... …
So, on Monday, the final court hearing——
"Now, a show of hands has begun regarding Mr. Black's claim that the Ministry of Magic's negligence caused Mr. Potter's encounter with a dementor in a Muggle-inhabited area." Amelia Susan Bones, Director of Magical Law Enforcement explain. "If you think the accusation is true, please raise your hand... 46 votes. Then, if you think the accusation is not established, please raise your hand—the rest will be regarded as abstentions."
Ms. Burns nodded, "According to the court's decision of 58 to 46, with seven abstentions, Mr. Black's accusation of the negligence of the Ministry of Magic caused Mr. Potter's encounter with dementors in the Muggle-inhabited area-Ministry of Magic Charges of dereliction of duty - not guilty!"
The judge delivered the final word—the most fatal blow to the credibility of the Fudge administration.
[Really sorry to hear that Mr. Black lost the case in the end, but please hear me be fair before you get angry-since they were able to put the Patronus Charm released by Mr. Black on Harry Potter, even by What could be negligent in deciding to expel our Boy Who Lived from school and break his wand?
Everyone, don’t forget that ten years of unjust imprisonment is vividly before us. A combat hero who is enough to win the Order of Merlin First Class was thrown into Azkaban as a Death Eater, and a despicable traitor, A vile Death Eater awards the Order of Merlin, [-]st Class - do we really need to be this surprised?
——Rita Skeeter, who is extremely sorry for the verdict, reports live for you] The entire wizarding world is about to explode in anger at Fudge's government's incompetence and buck-passing.
Then it was Dean Snape who specially sprayed the venom. In the letter, he seriously warned the green-eyed little snake who often caused troubles that he had better keep his own place, or he would be locked up after school!More importantly, a special warning to that same brainless Gryffindor, don't act like a fried gamecock, under such an unusual attack, just to avoid the stupid charges of the Ministry of Magic, rashly take yourself His godson went out to wander, and pointed out that at this time, "Only Privet Drive protected by blood magic is the safest protection place." '
Draco directly sent a double-sided mirror and asked to talk as soon as possible.
In the end, it was Dumbledore who specifically asked them to stay on Privet Drive for another day. At least to transfer Harry, they had to make proper arrangements for the guards and make sure that there would be no accidents along the way—these arrangements were It takes time.
"Okay!" Harry shrugged, not caring, "Anyway, we have no way to pack this pile of things before today."

The Ministry of Magic had to send a large number of staff to sift through the owl letters, although quite a few of them were numb to the roars and explosions that rang through the Great Hall.
As soon as this statement is over, the members of the Wizengamot will have to vote on a show of hands next Monday when the trial is held again. Whether it is right or wrong, once the court pronounces the verdict, it will become an established fact.Because of this, people began to gather outside the golden hall of the Ministry of Magic all night. Most of them held up slogans and signs in their hands, asking the Ministry of Magic to admit their mistakes for their negligence as soon as possible and apologize to their golden boy.
As for the outcome of the final trial, Lucius had reached an agreement with Sirius.In fact, Sirius didn't have to ask the Ministry of Magic to pay financial compensation or make a public apology for this attack. He had a deep understanding of it himself - for the established facts, an apology or something has no practical meaning at all.
Sirius just wanted to step down on the Ministry of Magic as much as possible, to step on the sore feet of that old bastard Fudge, to discredit Fudge's government, and it would be best for him to step down and leave—because apart from Harry being attacked In addition, there is another important objective factor. According to the news from Principal Dumbledore, that idiot Fudge refuses to believe that Voldemort is back, refuses to use the name of the government to warn everyone to pay attention to social security, and there is a tendency to cover up the facts desperately. It's not going to do them any favors against Voldemort's war fighters!
Therefore, because of the above reasons, Lucius held a small private banquet this weekend before the final verdict. expressed his concerns.Although he is now forced to take a leave of absence, it can't help this matter at all, but even if the government is bad, the image of the public must be taken into account, especially in the current unstable situation, full of scandals, The magic world cannot be divided into a piece of sand because of an incompetent government. Even if they are at fault for this matter and Fudge mishandled it, but under the premise of unity, it is better not to be so decisive. Everything starts from the overall situation... Let's go... …
So, on Monday, the final court hearing——
"Now, a show of hands has begun regarding Mr. Black's claim that the Ministry of Magic's negligence caused Mr. Potter's encounter with a dementor in a Muggle-inhabited area." Amelia Susan Bones, Director of Magical Law Enforcement explain. "If you think the accusation is true, please raise your hand... 46 votes. Then, if you think the accusation is not established, please raise your hand—the rest will be regarded as abstentions."
Ms. Burns nodded, "According to the court's decision of 58 to 46, with seven abstentions, Mr. Black's accusation of the negligence of the Ministry of Magic caused Mr. Potter's encounter with dementors in the Muggle-inhabited area-Ministry of Magic Charges of dereliction of duty - not guilty!"
The judge delivered the final word—the most fatal blow to the credibility of the Fudge administration.
[Really sorry to hear that Mr. Black lost the case in the end, but please hear me be fair before you get angry-since they were able to put the Patronus Charm released by Mr. Black on Harry Potter, even by What could be negligent in deciding to expel our Boy Who Lived from school and break his wand?
Everyone, don’t forget that ten years of unjust imprisonment is vividly before us. A combat hero who is enough to win the Order of Merlin First Class was thrown into Azkaban as a Death Eater, and a despicable traitor, A vile Death Eater awards the Order of Merlin, [-]st Class - do we really need to be this surprised?
——Rita Skeeter, who is extremely sorry for the verdict, reports live for you] The entire wizarding world is about to explode in anger at Fudge's government's incompetence and buck-passing.
