The Order of the Phoenix is an organization specially formed to fight against Voldemort. The last time the Dark Lord was wreaking havoc, many members of the Order of the Phoenix died.
When Voldemort said he would kill the whole family, he killed the whole family. The few who escaped were not much better. For example, the Longbottom family, both of their parents were driven mad, while Neville was raised by his grandmother.
"Professor, something must have happened. I haven't received a letter all summer. And why did the dementors appear in Privet Drive?"
Harry felt like his head was in a mess now.
Because Dudley was present when he was attacked, he was still in some trouble.
Xu Yue initially helped him join a white list that allowed the use of magic outside of school, but because he brought the news of Voldemort's resurrection, he was considered to be unstable enough, so he was removed from the list.
Because Dudley couldn't see the relationship between the Dementors, he had no way to justify using the Patronus Charm.
"Of course someone wants to kill you."
This was not said by Dumbledore, but by Moody who was leaning on crutches after they entered the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.
After being trapped by Little Crouch for a semester, he looked a little weak, but his energy seemed to be very high.
"Look, Dumbledore, you shouldn't have brought him here, he's still a child."
Moody then looked at Dumbledore, seemingly dissatisfied with this choice.
As long as Harry stayed in his room, he would not encounter attacks, but the members of the Order of the Phoenix were always in great danger.
I shouldn't drag these children into this before I die.
"But he's been attacked, hasn't he? You can't keep him at home like he's in jail."
Dumbledore's tone was still so calm.
Then Harry discovered that his godfather Sirius, Professor Lupin, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and others were all here, and even Hermione and Ron were here, which made his depressed mood much better for a while.
But soon, Harry also understood why Hermione and Ron hadn't sent any letters during the summer vacation.
Because they don’t want to put themselves under too much pressure during the summer…
Looking at the Daily Prophet handed over by his godfather.
The headlines above are news about yourself.
"The boy who loves to lie to gain attention"
There is no doubt that this is Harry himself.
It said that although Xu Yue and Cedric both claimed to have seen the mysterious man resurrected, that was because they did not know the mysterious man. Everyone present was of an age who had never seen the mysterious man before and did not know what he looked like.
Only Harry was forcing himself to say that it was the mysterious man seeking attention.
He ignored the others lightly and focused all his firepower on Harry.
Moreover, there was more than one article and news about this kind of thing, but they continuously smeared Harry.
The boy who originally survived the disaster was turned into a clownish clown.
But what he said was reasonable and well-founded and could not be refuted.
Harry's eyes were on fire.
"I know it's Voldemort! I know it!"
However, he also knew that such idealistic words could not be regarded as evidence.
"Also, Harry, there is one more thing I must inform you. Because of your use of the Patronus Charm, the Ministry of Magic is ready to expel you and confiscate your wand.
But I got you a chance to defend yourself. "
Dumbledore continued to stab Harry, causing Harry to feel a sense of despair.
I had used the wand illegally before, and even boasted about Aunt Maggie, but that matter was settled lightly.
Combined with what happened in the Daily Prophet, even though Harry was still a student, he knew that he was being targeted.
The lovely and amiable Minister Fudge from before is gone!
Now I am trying every possible means to suppress myself.
"Fu Ji specifically revealed that for the sake of Xu Yue and me, as long as you publicly admit that everything was a joke on you and then apologize, you can treat it as nothing happened, otherwise it will be difficult to predict what will happen. "
Dumbledore's subsequent words made Harry immediately object.
"No way! Voldemort has returned, we must be prepared!"
And his decisive answer immediately received a round of applause.
"I just said he would definitely choose the right one."
"That's right!"
"Welcome to join us, Harry."
"Actually, I think he is still a child, so this is too hasty."
"..."
The buzzing sound made Harry a little confused, and then Dumbledore also smiled.
"These news are all true, but you can also regard it as a small test for you to join the Order of the Phoenix."
After hearing Dumbledore's words, Harry couldn't help but smile.
"There is no doubt that Fudge is exerting such pressure to make you take back your words. Perhaps he also thinks that I, an old man, want to compete with him for the position of the next Minister of Magic."
Dumbledore said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"What kind of abnormal brain does one have to think so?"
Harry's face was filled with disbelief.
"If you're talking about Fudge, I don't think he's normal to begin with."
Sirius also added.
"He was a politician first and a wizard second..."
…
After all, Fudge is the current Minister of Magic, and what he nominally wants to do represents what the Ministry of Magic itself wants to do.
Because it is imperative to move forward with the hearing.
Although almost everyone believed that adopting such a formal sentencing procedure for an underage wizard was a bit overkill.
But still no one can stop him.
Even Death Eaters like Lucius Malfoy who have returned to the mysterious man will continue to secretly add fuel to the fire.
"Don't worry, although the hearing cannot be stopped, with Dumbledore here, no one can make things difficult for you."
Arthur Weasley winked at Harry, and then took Harry to a phone booth in the Muggle world, and the two of them walked in one after another.
"Oh, this is also my first time to enter through the visitor's entrance. Let me see the instructions. Haha, this is how it should be done."
Following his tinkering, the two of them came directly to the underground as if they were taking an elevator.
We have arrived at the headquarters world of the Ministry of Magic!
The flow of people coming and going is far more prosperous than the town of Hogsmeade, and it has a more serious and formal atmosphere than Diagon Alley, as if this is the real magical world!
"You came at the right time. We were just about to issue the notice and the hearing time has been advanced."
Just when Arthur Weasley brought Harry to the Ministry of Magic, Patsy Weasley, dressed in formal clothes and with a meticulous expression, came to the two of them and issued a formal notice to them.
While informing, he kept wiping the nameplate on his chest, which had the words "Assistant to the Minister of Magic - Percy Weasley" written on it. Judging from Percy's attitude, it seemed that the words "assistant" could be removed. Just as arrogant.
As the defendant, Harry needs to arrive at the Ministry of Magic three hours in advance to wait, and this also means that the hearing time is advanced by three hours!
As for the defense, Dumbledore may not be able to catch up, because the notifications from both of them have just arrived, and obviously the notifications from Dumbledore are still on the way.
This made Harry feel angry and helpless.
As for Arthur Weasley, he looked at his originally proud child with disappointed eyes, and then silently led Harry towards the hearing site.
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I have to rely on myself.
But he obviously knew that with the prestige gap between himself and Dumbledore, how could the jury members disobey Fudge for his own sake?
It's really troublesome this time...
However, just as Harry arrived at the hearing with Weasley, he was a little confused and found that the scene inside was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Fudge, who was sitting in the trial seat, still looked the same, but he looked a little older and his expression was a little awkward.
The most important thing is that the jury members, who look like a vegetable market, are all diligently surrounding the almost only person sitting in the jury box, and they are constantly saying some contrived words.
And the juror who raised his teacup to signal himself was Xu Yue...
Well, the people on the jury must be some highly respected and convincing members. There is no doubt that as long as Xu Yue wants to sit here, there are many people who are willing to move his seat...
