Chapter 458 Ivan: Isn’t It Just a Misfortune? Who Is Afraid of Whom!

Hearing Sirius's remarks, Ivan quickly glared at him. Now was not the time to be angry.

Sirius curled his lips and didn't say anything.

"You actually insulted my son like this!" Mrs. Peter reacted quite violently. She excitedly waved the cane in her hand and wanted to hit Sirius on the head.

But the crutches were caught by a hand in mid-air. Dumbledore stared at the old witch in front of him with a trace of anger on his face.

Mrs. Peter's anger was as if it had been doused by a basin of cold water. She was trembling all over and wanted to withdraw the crutch from Dumbledore's hand, but she did not have the courage.

"Quiet! Stop, this is the trial court, not a place for trouble!" The presiding judge slapped the table in annoyance.

Dumbledore let go of his hand and the crutch fell to the ground.

Mrs. Peter squatted down and picked up her crutches with a slight trembling. She looked at the presiding judge on the stage and choked out.

"Your Excellency, the presiding judge, please forgive me for my rudeness. As a mother, I have been separated from my child for more than ten years. Today, it is not easy to see me again. I can't be separated from him again."

At the end of the story, Mrs. Peter even burst into tears on the spot, telling with tears how lonely she was after her only child "died", and how she struggled to survive alone in the magical world.

Coupled with Mrs. Peter's full head of white hair, old face and patched robe, it makes the listener sad and the listener weeping.

Ivan frowned. What Mrs. Peter just said was all nonsense that had nothing to do with the case, but the presiding judge had no intention of interrupting. This was a very obvious biased behavior.

Thinking that Dumbledore had told him before that the presiding judge this time was elected by the Ministry of Magic, Ivan had some understanding.

It was obvious that for some people, the truth was far less important than the political struggle. In order to cause trouble for them, Fudge would do anything. The behavior the presiding judge just scolded was probably also aimed at Dumbledore.

Noticing that the committee members around him were vaguely touched and sympathized by Mrs. Peter's emotional cry, Ivan knew that he could not wait any longer!

The rules of court trials in the magical world are completely different from those in the country where Ivan lived in his previous life.

The votes of the committee members will greatly affect the final verdict. Generally speaking, the presiding judge will not go against the committee members' decisions, not to mention that even the presiding judge is not on Sirius's side now.

Ivan was not sure how many of the committee members present had been bribed and how many remained neutral, but if Mrs. Peter continued to say so, the situation would definitely get worse.

Realizing this, Ivan decisively interrupted the old witch's cry and said.

"Mrs. Peter, you are wrong to say that! Your child Peter Pettigrew is a Death Eater! He shamefully revealed the hiding place of the Potters to the mysterious man, and failed those who were willing to entrust their lives to him. My dear friend, he almost destroyed the hope of the entire magical world!”

Ivan's impassioned tone made the committee members who were originally somewhat sympathetic to the old witch remember Peter's ugly deeds again.

However, Ivan had no intention of stopping. He looked at everyone present and continued in a sharp voice.

"Harry Potter saved the entire wizarding world and saved us all from having to live under the brutal rule of the mysterious man! But such a hero should have a happy family, parents who love him, and enjoy the life he deserves Glory!

But all of this was completely destroyed by Peter, the despicable betrayer and the lackey of the mysterious man! You must not know what kind of life our hero has lived for more than ten years!

He was adopted by his Muggle relatives! That Muggle family hated wizards and everything they couldn't understand!

Poor Harry was treated unfairly there because he behaved differently since he was a child! "I was forced to live in a storage room of a few square meters, do a lot of housework, wear clothes that others didn't want, and was bullied by my peers. I even often went hungry."

What Ivan said was very desolate, and he tried his best to restore Harry's life in the Muggle world, and successfully made most of the committee members feel indignant about Harry's tragic experience.

"How dare those Muggles do this? Being able to adopt Harry Potter is a great honor! How dare they treat him like this!"

"Oh my god, I never knew Harry had to endure so many grievances when he was a child. I thought the Ministry of Magic would definitely arrange the best place for him to go!"

"What are the people at the Ministry of Magic doing? Why haven't they paid attention to Harry Potter's current situation for so many years?"

On the seats on both sides, the committee members were all extremely angry, and they continued to curse.

They had long forgotten the grievances in Mrs. Peter's life. In comparison, Muggles' discrimination against wizards and the unfair treatment of heroes were more noticeable.

And there is no new generation of wizards who can sit here! Everyone has experienced the last wizarding war, experienced the terror of the mysterious man and the Death Eater army, and all have some gratitude for Harry who ended the mysterious man.

Many of the infected witches looked at Peter with contempt, disdain, and annoyance. Only one reasonably sane witch stood up and asked.

"Mr. Hals, can you guarantee that what you just said is true?"

"Yes, ma'am! Harry Potter is in the waiting hall now, and will also appear in court to testify later. You can ask yourself then!" Ivan replied politely.

Ivan's words made some committee members who were originally hesitant to completely believe his words, because no one would tell a lie that was quickly exposed.

Mrs. Peter witnessed the whole process as Ivan destroyed the atmosphere she had painstakingly created with just a few words, causing the situation to reverse instantly. She immediately understood that she had met her opponent today!

Although she was in awe of Dumbledore, who was also the defender, she was not afraid.

Because a big shot like this needs to be proud of himself, and he will not act like a rogue like himself. More importantly, he is born in a strong position, which helps to construct his own helplessness as a weakling, so as to win over the committee members present. We sympathize.

It's just that the little wizard in front of her didn't take this into consideration. Mrs. Peter knew that her usual strategy might be ineffective today.

Ivan was also looking at Mrs. Peter, whose eyes were still stained with tears, with a look of amusement on her face.

Isn't it just a miserable sale? come! Who is afraid of whom! What I have here are stories!
