Chapter 1484 Justice

After meeting Xu Yue, Harry felt a sense of surprise in his heart.

He didn't receive any letters during the summer vacation, and the Daily Prophet's report also left him out, and he never spoke out. For a time, Harry felt a little confused.

Now that I saw his figure appearing at the most critical moment, I suddenly felt a sense of excitement.

So excited.

But just when Harry was about to step forward and say something, Xu Yue coughed.

"Members of the jury should not have a good relationship with the defendant in advance. Everyone should go back to their seats. The defendant is already here."

After hearing Xu Yue's words, the other members of the jury returned to their seats obediently, and Harry also stopped walking forward and came to the defendant at Arthur Weasley's signal. seats.

This time, Dumbledore did not appear on time, and there were no dumb witnesses arranged by Dumbledore in the original book.

Arthur Weasley defended Harry throughout the whole process.

When Arthur Weasley said that Harry was attacked by dementors and acted in legal self-defense, his words were interrupted by a member of the jury.

"Oh, please wait a minute, Arthur, you sound like you are saying that the attack on Harry was arranged by our Ministry of Magic? As we all know, the dementors have always been under the management of the Ministry of Magic, and their attacks need to be protected. Our mandate.”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged, short and fat woman, but she was dressed very girlishly. She was dressed in pink, and she looked indescribably weird and disgusting.

Her expression also seemed a bit artificial. She was one of the few people who had not been around Xu Yue before and had been sitting firmly in her seat.

Dolores Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Magic, Fudge's right-hand assistant, and also very loyal to Fudge.

She admires pure blood, and she has always claimed to be a pure blood. However, her mother is a Muggle, and her brother is a squib. To a certain extent, she is similar to Patsy Weasley, who can climb up at any cost for power.

"I didn't say this was what the Ministry of Magic meant, but it's a fact that two dementors were wandering near Harry's house and attacked him!"

Arthur Weasley said angrily.

"That's what you mean. I suspect this is another deliberate lie by this lying boy, isn't it? The Muggles with him can't see the dementors, and no one can testify for him!"

Dolores Umbridge looked down at Arthur and Harry with a face full of arrogance and disdain, and then continued to propose to Fudge.

"Well, Secretary Fudge, I think it's almost time for sentencing."

Fudge saw the performance of his outstanding assistant, which made Arthur speechless, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, please raise your hands if you agree that the verdict will take effect."

As he finished speaking, he took the lead and raised his hand.

As the Minister of Magic, if you take the lead, others will naturally follow.

Whether it was those who were originally loyal to Fudge or those who raised their hands after seeing the form, it soon caused a chain effect, reaching more than half of the people!

Just when Fudge and Dolores Umbridge both had smiles on their faces, they were about to pronounce the verdict.

Xu Yue, who had been eating melon, coughed.

Although the voice was soft, it attracted everyone's attention.

When many of the jury members who had raised their hands turned around and saw that Xu Yue still hadn't raised his hands after coughing, their expressions changed.

Many people raised their hands to scratch or comb their hair, and then put them down again.

Many even supported Fudge right away.

His allies in the camp also dropped their hands in embarrassment.

The original posture of a cloud of followers suddenly turned into three or two kittens.

In the magic world, Xu Yue has always been rolling around in the form of a chariot of bundled interests.

At least two-thirds of the jury present were on his chariot, and most of the remaining one-third wanted to get on the chariot.

With interests tied up, the words of the Minister of Magic count for nothing!

The reason why I raised my hand before was because I didn't know Xu Yue's attitude, and I didn't know why Xu Yue came here this time.

In the eyes of these 'highly respected' adult wizards, they would not inquire much about things in Hogwarts, and they did not know the relationship between Xu Yue and Harry.

We really have a good relationship, but it’s been talked about like this in the newspapers recently?

As long as he lets something out, the Daily Prophet won't be able to follow suit?

Completely misled!

For a moment, everyone present had their own ideas, even Fudge.

After seeing Xu Yue's intervention, Fudge was also thinking about whether this person thought that he could not support Harry Potter's return of the Dark Lord, but he could not embarrass Harry Potter?

In fact, by now, it was obvious that even if he wanted to embarrass himself, it would be meaningless as long as Master Xu Yue wanted to protect him.

It’s just a slap in the face!

Then, his own action of raising his hand changed to arranging his hat, and then he put it down gracefully.

"The situation has become obvious. Obviously, such a trivial matter does not lead to expulsion."

As he finished speaking, he knocked the hammer

"Then, I hereby announce the withdrawal of all charges..."

…

"Young man, you are young and promising."

"Well, although I don't agree with what you said, I still think you have a lot of potential."

"The boy who survived, take the right path and don't let this opportunity go to waste."

"..."

Originally, Harry was treated like a disgusting person when he came here.

But now that it was over, there were many passing jury members who persuaded and greeted him with sincere words.

At first, they were a little unsure about which one would come over. Many people simply thought that they thought it was a fellow student who was sentencing and came over to have a look. It had no special meaning.

But after that special cough, everyone had a glimmer of understanding.

Those who can appear here are all people who like to think too much. Naturally, many people have followed Fudge's idea.

Yes, he doesn't support Harry's statement, but it doesn't mean there is no friendship between them!

This sudden change in attitude of many people really made Harry feel a little scared and nervous.

On the contrary, Arthur Weasley next to him showed a wry smile.

Today's young people are really incredible...

"Okay, Harry, let's go. School will start soon. Let's go to the station together then."

After Xu Yue got down from his seat, he first nodded to Fudge, who looked embarrassed, and then came to Harry and spoke briefly.

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Harry was a bit merciless.

When he saw so many people raising their hands before, he was really despairing. He felt like he was about to be expelled, have his wand confiscated, and then be kicked out of Hogwarts.

Xu Yue's efforts to turn the tide made him feel a little dazed.

"There are some words that I can't support you openly, but I know that the person who can temporarily trap me is by no means an ordinary person."

Xu Yue smiled at Harry and briefly explained the reason why he had not spoken out in support during this period.

Let Harry say quickly

"I know, Professor Dumbledore said that your status is quite special."

"Well, it is indeed quite special..."
