Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1107 Azkaban life imprisonment

   Albert is not surprised that the Ministry of Magic officially opened a court trial for Umbridge, mainly because of Harry Potter. Under the hint of Albert, the young savior seized the best opportunity to accept the reporter's interview and gave the Ministry of Magic a hard blow, causing the politicians and bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic to abandon Umbridge.

   Yes, throw it away.

  Although Umbridge has done a lot of messy things, she is only an executor. She has been instructed by Fudge and is essentially doing things for the Ministry of Magic. As far as this matter is concerned, she does not need to take full responsibility.

  However, once this kind of thing gets out, it will cause irreparable damage to the credibility of the Ministry of Magic. What's more, in the eyes of most politicians and bureaucrats, abuse of power is actually not a big deal.

Umbridge is an old man in the Ministry of Magic. He has a high position, strong execution ability, and can please others. In the novel, after Scrimgeour took power, in order to better control and stabilize the Ministry of Magic, he would naturally not deal with Umbridge. Ridge, and Scrimgeour also had more pressing matters to deal with than Umbridge.

After Albert's interference, Harry Potter turned the table directly. As the most influential savior at present, there is a vague tendency to guide public opinion against the Ministry of Magic. Out of political interests, Umbridge was naturally Throw it away, or God knows what Harry Potter will say to reporters one day, and maybe something else will happen.

As for the fact that the Ministry of Magic specially puts time on weekends and invites Harry Potter as a witness, it is actually just a formality. While convicting Umbridge, it can also win over Harry Potter, and by the way, show the justice of the Ministry of Magic to the outside world. , to enhance the credibility of the Ministry of Magic.

But these things are ridiculous to Albert. If Harry Potter was an employee of the Ministry of Magic, maybe he would choose to compromise, but Harry Potter is not. One year young.

   That means being susceptible to emotions.

  How could the beautiful fantasy of the Ministry of Magic come true?

   "Good morning, Professor Dumbledore."

   Albert, wearing the Wizengamot costume, appeared at the door of the principal's office. If he hadn't been going to attend Umbridge's trial today, Albert would never have appeared here, let alone attend.

  However, today's trial is undoubtedly an upcoming drama. Albert has been preparing for it for a long time, so naturally he should not miss it easily.

   "Good morning, Anderson, you are always so punctual." Dumbledore glanced at the clock and greeted Albert with a smile.

   "Is Harry Potter here?"

   Albert didn't see Harry, so he asked casually.

   "Not yet, I think Harry will be here soon."

   As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, he saw Harry Potter hurrying towards him.

   "Harry Potter, are you ready?" Albert looked at the panting Harry and asked.

"what to prepare?"

  Harry propped his hands on his knees, panting heavily, obviously not understanding what Albert meant for a moment.

   "You still need a little bit of luck." Albert took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, and poured two Felicians for Harry Potter, "This is my kind sponsorship."

  Dumbledore pretended not to see it, but he also knew why Albert gave Harry the elixir.

  Last time, Harry, who had taken Felicia, showed an astonishing level in the courtroom.

"Oh, thank you. I've already read the document last night. I'm sure I can send her in this time." Harry put away the Felicity Elixir and prepared to eat it later, so as not to waste the effect of the Felicity Elixir .

  God knows when the Ministry of Magic will hold a court session. The time of his court session was brought forward last time, and this time it might be postponed.

   They made their way to the Ministry of Magic through the fireplace in the Headmaster's office.

   As soon as the three of them arrived at the Ministry of Magic, they caused a lot of trouble, especially the group of Aurors, who looked at Albert very complicatedly.

   Of course, there were many wizards who greeted Albert and Dumbledore with a smile, especially Albert's old friend in the Wizengamot, who asked him about Umbridge.

   "I was there at the time, and Umbridge really jumped out of the school like a toad." Albert said with a smile: "Basically, all the teachers and students in the school came to see her off."

   "What a crazy woman."

  Dumbledore pretended not to hear their conversation.

  Everyone went to the courtroom on the tenth floor of the basement, talking and laughing.

   This time, the time for the court session was quite accurate. Harry, who had taken Felicia, looked very excited.

  Last time, the guy who made him sit there for trial needs to sit there for trial today.

  The only thing that disappointed Harry was that Fudge was still acting as interrogator.

   This is not a good sign.

   Just after eight o'clock, Fudge started the court session. He said with a gloomy face, "The trial on June 15th, the case of Umbridge, the Deputy Minister of Magic, abused his power when he was a senior investigator at Hogwarts."

   Sure enough...

  Harry's premonition came true, and Fudge intends to mitigate Umbridge's crimes.

   But he also has a plan.

  Harry first smiled at Umbridge beside him, then raised his hand to interrupt: "Mr. Minister, I think your wording is inappropriate."

  Fudge frowned, he didn't expect Harry Potter to interrupt him directly.

   "Mr. Potter, what's your question?" Burns asked. She felt that this trial might not go well. During the previous trial, Harry Potter's combat prowess had surprised many people.

"If it's an abuse of power for Umbridge to send a dementor to attack me, is it also an abuse of power for her to use Veritaserum and Cruciatus on a large number of students at Hogwarts?" Harry said in Umbridge Under the astonished gaze, he smiled and moved his gaze to Fudge, "Or, Umbridge's Veritaserum and Cruciatus Curse to the students also belong to the authority granted by the Ministry of Magic?"

All right!

  Harry, who used Felicia, was really powerful in combat, hitting the vitals with one blow?

   Abuse of power?

  This kind of thing can be big or small, and it is naturally impossible for Harry to let Fudge fool the past like this.

  As soon as Harry finished speaking, the courtroom exploded, and the members of the Wizengamot discussed in whispers.

   They haven't forgotten that they also participated in Harry Potter's trial here about a year ago, and now the truth about the dementor attack has been fully revealed.

  Umbridge sent dementors to attack Harry Potter?

   What shocked everyone even more was that Umbridge actually used Veritaserum and Cruciatus on the students.

   Newspapers can only be trusted with one-third of the news, but Harry Potter dared to say this here, it is obviously true.

   You know, even the Ministry of Magic is quite strict about the use of Veritaserum to interrogate prisoners, let alone the massive use of Veritaserum on Hogwarts students.

   Is Umbridge crazy?

   However, Harry Potter also accused Umbridge of using the Cruciatus Curse on Hogwarts students.

  According to the laws of the Ministry of Magic, the use of the Unforgivable Curse can be sent directly to Azkaban without a trial.

  Umbridge looked at Harry with resentment, Fudge also blushed, because what Harry Potter said meant that what Umbridge did was ordered by him, Fudge.

  However, before Fudge and the other jury could recover from the shock, Harry continued to say, "Mr. Minister, your complexion doesn't seem very good. Could it be that you really ordered this matter?"

   "Presumptuous!" growled Fudge angrily.

  The entire Wizengamot was completely blown up. Harry Potter directly and openly questioned the Minister of Magic. This was undoubtedly provoking the justice of the Ministry of Magic.

  Even Burns felt that things were going badly, but before she could speak, Harry Potter spoke again.

   "I remember this is a court, not a tavern." Harry raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, "Next, I will be legally responsible for every word I say."

"I don't think our Mr. Cornelius Fudge is fit to sit there and participate in this trial. It will affect the fairness and fairness of the trial." Harry ignored Fudge's murderous gaze and continued, "Because there are indications that , This whole matter is related to him, if what I said is completely slandering the Minister of Magic, I can be charged with slandering the Minister of Magic and put in Azkaban Prison."

  The savior entered the prison of Azkaban?

  That is naturally impossible. If this kind of thing really happens, the entire wizarding world will not be able to completely explode, but Harry said it at this moment, leaving no retreat for Fudge.

   "According to the information disclosed by Umbridge himself, Cornelius Fudge himself knew about the fact that she sent dementors to attack me. Can I think that this matter was ordered and carried out by default by the Minister of Magic?"

   "Nonsense, I don't know about it at all." Fudge's face turned an ugly maroon, and roared angrily towards Harry below. He regretted not interfering in this matter, and had Harry Potter come to this trial.

   The courtroom fell into a terrible dead silence, everyone looked at Fudge in unison, and even Bones frowned at Fudge.

  In fact, as long as the members of the Wizengamot who have experienced the last dementor attack, they still remember Fudge's ugly appearance.

   "Now a show of hands, if you think Cornelius Fudge is no longer suitable to stay and preside over the court, please raise your hand." Amelia Bones said suddenly.

   "Bones..."

  Fudge looked in disbelief at Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

   "Please leave the table temporarily."

  Bones motioned Fudge to look at the members of the Wizengamot who raised their hands, and shook his head slightly.

  Fudge left his seat with a dead face. Umbridge, who was sitting below, had an even uglier face than Fudge.

  Fudge's departure means that she is completely finished, otherwise she cannot be charged with a serious crime based on the charge of abusing her power.

  However, the appearance of Harry Potter brutally overturned all this.

   "Okay, now the court reopens."

Amelia Burns cast her eyes on the Undersecretary and said softly, "Dolores Jane Umbridge. You have been accused of abusing your position during your tenure at Hogwarts by ordering dementors to attack Harry Potter, and using Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse on Hogwarts students, do you have anything to refute?"

   "No, I didn't." Umbridge retorted excitedly, "All this is Harry Potter's slander and revenge."

"During his tenure at Hogwarts, Umbridge issued a total of 123 education orders, 123 within one year." Harry admired Umbridge with great interest, and moved to the side, away from him , to prevent Umbridge from jumping on top of him.

"Section 67, students who possess candy purchased from unauthorized vendors will be expelled. Section 93, gives Umbridge the authority to confiscate unauthorized books from students, and Section 101, encourages Students report upcoming suspicious or illegal activities." Harry took out a dozen parchments from his robe pocket, flipped through them at random, and listed three of them, "There are 123 similar regulations."

   "Or are these 123 education orders all from the Ministry of Magic and have nothing to do with Umbridge?" Harry asked with narrowed eyes.

   It is naturally impossible for the Ministry of Magic to admit it, which is so hated.

   Don’t forget, students have families too.

  Amelia Bones looked deeply at the stack of parchment in Harry Potter's hand, and then turned her gaze to Umbridge.

Before Amelia Bones could ask, Potter said again: "Oh, by the way, she also likes to confiscate the students' wands, hang them up, beat them with whips, and make the students hungry. I like to use black magic props to punish students, and if you need evidence, there are still marks left on the back of my hand."

   "I can't lie." Harry glanced at the back of his hand and said softly, "Thanks to Umbridge, I have always upheld the principle of being honest."

"you…"

  Umbridge blushed with anger, she finally figured it out, she was tricked by Harry, and everything was for today.

  That's why Potter prodded her that day to use Cruciatus.

  But now it's too late.

Amelia Bones glanced at the back of Harry's raised hand. Although she couldn't see the writing on it, there was no doubt that Potter didn't need to lie, because this kind of thing can only be known through investigation, and there is no way to hide it or fake. "

   "Dolores Jane Umbridge, do you have anything to explain?"

"I'm just fulfilling the task given by the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge yelled frantically, "I admit that what I did did cross the line, but at that time the entire Ministry of Magic hoped that Harry Potter could close the door." I don’t want the rumor of the mysterious man’s resurrection to spread, I’m just fulfilling my mission and using my authority to drive away Dumbledore and Potter.”

   There was a dead silence in the courtroom.

  Some things can only be done, but not said, but Umbridge said it.

  A task given by the Ministry of Magic?

  No, it should be said that the task given by Cornelius Fudge is more suitable.

  Fudge, who remained on the Wizengamot jury seat, turned paler and his lips trembled. After a long time, he tremblingly said: "I never ordered her to do that."

   Such words obviously cannot fool other people here. As the highest judicial institution for wizards, the members who can appear here are all well-known wizards.

   No one is a fool.

  What Umbridge did obviously got Fudge's acquiescence, as Potter said earlier, it was Fudge who instructed Umbridge to send dementors to attack Harry Potter.

Amelia Bones took a deep look at her boss. She suspected that Fudge would sit there one day to stand trial. The current situation is indeed not friendly to Fudge, and there are all signs that Fudge may be accused of collusion Mystery man.

   "Mr. Potter accuses you of using Veritaserum and Cruciatus on Hogwarts students. Do you have anything to refute?"

   Not surprisingly, the charge of abuse of power was found. This was the charge that Umbridge was supposed to be charged with, but now this charge... seems to be unimportant.

   "I'm a victim of Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse." Harry said calmly, "Umbridge used the Cruciatus Curse on me twice not long ago, trying to press me on the so-called secret base of the Order of the Phoenix."

   "As for Veritaserum, a large number of Hogwarts students have taken drinks mixed with Veritaserum. I remember that Mr. Anderson was one of the victims."

  Everyone looked at Albert in unison.

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing." Albert nodded and said, "As far as I know, at least 50 Hogwarts students have drank the drink with Veritaserum, and we can send someone to investigate. This kind of thing can’t be faked.”

   "By the way, Umbridge used the Cruciatus Curse on me too, so I whipped her hard last time."

   "Of course, I suggest using Veritaserum directly on Umbridge, so that the authenticity of the whole thing can be verified faster, so as to avoid the possibility of me or Mr. Harry lying, and give Umbridge the final justice."

   Amelia Bones was silent for a moment, and nodded in agreement. They couldn't just listen to Harry Potter's one-sided words.

   Evidence in court!

   Fudge glared at Umbridge fiercely, motioning for her to confess quickly, however, his actions were meaningless.

  The court finally gave Umbridge a small amount of Veritaserum as a last chance.

   If she really hadn't done it, she would naturally be acquitted. However, Umbridge apparently couldn't stand the Veritaserum interrogation and told the truth.

  As Harry expected, what Umbridge did was acquiesced by Fudge, and it didn't matter whether it was authorized or not, because Fudge knew about it.

  The former Minister of Magic collapsed directly on the seat, because he suspected that he might also go up for a walk.

   "Hands up if you agree with the crime." After Amelia Bones finished speaking, almost all the Wizengamot jurors raised their hands.

   "Very well, Dolores Umbridge's crimes are established." Amelia Bones continued, "Those who think these crimes should be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, please raise your hand."

  Amelia Bones looked around at the number of raised hands, tapped the gavel, and delivered her sentence: "Dolores Umbridge...Azkaban for life."

  Umbridge collapsed on the chair as if he had lost his soul. When she turned her head and saw Harry, she rushed towards Harry like crazy: "It's all you, it's all you."

   "Auror," Burns yelled.

   "No, you should blame Fudge." Harry looked at the crazy Umbridge and said softly, "It was Fudge who got you into Azkaban Prison, not me."
