Chapter 448: Drop All Charges, Moral Kidnapping? (1/2)

Chapter 448: Drop all charges, moral kidnapping?

"Please describe the attack." Amelia said, "What do they look like?"

"Well, one of them is very strong, and the other is very thin."

"No, no, I want you to describe the appearance of the Dementor."

Mrs. Figg reacted, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face, "It's very big, wearing a cloak.

Then everything became cold, as if all the joy in the world disappeared at once."

"Listen carefully." Fudge's tone was a little sarcastic, "Dementors will not wander around in Muggle residential areas, and they just happened to run into a wizard, this possibility is extremely small.

Okay, you can go, you are not a very convincing witness."

"Haha!" Aaron laughed disdainfully, "According to what you said, Minister, no matter how many witnesses you bring, it will not be enough, because Dementors will not appear in Muggle residential areas for no reason."

"Mr. Gaius." Fudge's face flushed, his fists clenched, and the whole person was on the verge of rage.

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Aaron said indifferently.

He really didn't take Fudge seriously. Putting aside his identity as the Minister of Magic, Fudge was just a magician who could suppress him in a minute.

"No problem, but don't forget that you are here to listen."

"But I also have the right to speak, don't I?" Aaron asked back.

Jins nodded in agreement and said righteously: "The young master is right. The Wizengamot Charter of Rights clearly stipulates that anyone in the courtroom has the right to speak."

"Minister Cornelius, I deliberately took out my precious time just to see the trial of the Supreme Court of the Magic World, but I have to say that I am a little disappointed.

The defendant and the defendant's defense counsel inexplicably missed the trial time, the defendant had almost no chance to refute, and the defendant's witnesses were...hard to convince.

Haha! I can't think of how to prove Harry Potter's innocence. Do I have to catch the two Dementors who attacked him and ask them?"

Hearing this, Harry nodded repeatedly and was so moved that he almost cried.

He was so wronged. He had been worried since he received the letter from the Ministry of Magic, especially being deliberately targeted by the Minister of Magic. The feeling of being unable to speak out was really sour.

Fudge gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a difficult decision, "Mr. Gaius, I know you and Harry Potter are good friends. I can understand you speaking for him, but..."

"Minister Fudge, please don't get me wrong. Harry Potter and I have an average relationship.

The reason I spoke was because I didn't see the so-called fairness in the highest court of the magic world."

After the words fell, there was silence.

The expressions of dozens of wizards changed. Some nodded secretly, such as Amelia, some looked unhappy, such as Umbridge, but more were at a loss and ashamed.

"I heard from Susan that Slytherin has a special student." Amelia said admiringly, "But your speech is a bit sharp. Whether the Wizengamot is fair or not can only be determined after the trial is over."

Aaron scratched his head embarrassedly, "I think everyone here is a well-known wizard, and you shouldn't be so ignorant as a 15-year-old child like me!"

Everyone:......

"Does the defendant witness have anything to add?" Amelia continued to ask.

"No, no."

"What about the defense attorney?"

Dumbledore stood in front of the stage and said slowly: "I don't think any of us would believe that the appearance of the Dementors there would be a coincidence, and someone sent them there."

Puff!

Umbridge, who was sitting on Fudge's right, sneered, "I hope I misunderstood you, Professor. After all, all Dementors are under the control of the Ministry of Magic without exception.

In my humble opinion, you seemed to imply for a moment that it was the Ministry of Magic that ordered the attack on this child."

"That would be a big trouble, Madam Deputy Minister.

So I believe the Ministry of Magic will launch a full investigation to find out why the two Dementors stayed away from Azkaban and launched an unauthorized attack."

"Yes!" Aaron nodded in agreement, "If the Dementors are disobedient, it means that Azkaban may have problems at any time."

"No Dementor is not under the control of the Ministry of Magic." Fudge shouted gruffly.

"I just said that casually, Mr. Minister, don't be nervous." Aaron said embarrassedly, and then changed the subject, "But we still have to take precautions. If possible, we should dispatch a group of Aurors."

"Mr. Gaius, it's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Magic."

"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion.

It's up to you whether to adopt it or not, but...if Azkaban really has an accident because of the Dementors, it will be your responsibility."

Fudge's mouth twitched violently, and he felt very uncomfortable in his chest, as if a big stone was blocking him.

He felt something was wrong when Jeans wrote to him two days ago, but due to the strong influence of the Gaius family, he couldn't refuse.

It was just two seats for the audience, which wouldn't make much waves.

But now he really regretted it. If he had known that Aaron was so mean, he would rather lose face for the Gaius family than let him enter this courtroom.

Dumbledore walked up to Fudge seriously, "Cornelly, I beg you to be rational. There are signs that the dark devil has returned, which is irrefutable."

"He didn't come back at all." Fudge gritted his teeth and said.

Dumbledore sighed slightly. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard Fudge say that.

He faced the crowd and said with full energy: "In the case of Harry Potter, the law clearly stipulates that magic can be used in front of Muggles when life is threatened."

"The law can be amended when necessary." Fudge said viciously.

"Apparently, I was just kicked out of the Wizengamot a few weeks ago, and a minor case of using magic by a minor has to be tried in a criminal court."

"Dumbledore has been the chief wizard of the Wizengamot for a long time, but he was dismissed a few weeks ago." Jins whispered.

Aaron couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. It wasn't long after the Triwizard Tournament ended a few weeks ago. .

It seems that after Fudge and Dumbledore broke up, in addition to using newspapers to discredit his image and reputation, he is also trying to take back his rights.

"Politics is really dark! No wonder people in my family don't like being officials!"

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of eyes fell on Aaron.

"Uh... I just said this out of inspiration, don't take it personally.

I still have great trust in the Ministry of Magic, and abuse of power has absolutely nothing to do with you."

Dumbledore spread his hands, "I have said everything I want to say as a defense attorney, and now I invite you to conduct the trial."

Everyone started to whisper, and a few minutes later Amelia said, "Please raise your hands if you are in favor of conviction."

Fudge was the first to raise his hand, and Umbridge was the second, but even with the Minister and Deputy Minister taking the lead, less than one-fifth of the people were in favor of conviction.

"Please raise your hands if you are in favor of dropping all charges," Amelia asked again.

Hands were raised one after another, even Mrs. Figg was no exception, which was in stark contrast to what had just happened.

Fudge swallowed hard, he was extremely angry, but he had to suppress his anger, "Drop all charges."

Bang!

The hammer fell, and the hearing ended hastily.

"Great." Dumbledore applauded, then waved his wand, and the chairs he had conjured disappeared instantly.

"Aaron, are you free?

I think we need to talk."

"No time." Aaron said without hesitation, "I have something to do when I go back!"

Dumbledore pursed his lips, "Okay, I understand."

"Professor." Harry came over impatiently, but was interrupted by Dumbledore before he could speak.

"Harry, it's best not to have too much contact now.

I'm not convenient to tell you the reason, but you must not think too much.

In addition, if there is any trouble that cannot be solved, you can find Mr. Gaius. I think he should not refuse to help his friends.

Right, Mr. Gaius?"

Aaron:......

Damn! You old man are very bad.

What is this? Coercion or moral kidnapping?

Aaron winked at Jins, hoping that he would help him out.

And he just looked up at the dark ceiling, looking like it had nothing to do with him.

"Haha!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, then looked at Dumbledore who was waiting for his answer, "Professor, Slytherin never refuses to help friends."

"That's good." Dumbledore nodded with relief, and without giving Harry a chance to speak, he quickly left the courtroom.

"That, I..."

"No need to say." Aaron interrupted him hurriedly, "I think as a responsible man, even if there is trouble, I will find a way to solve it myself, and I won't trouble my friends, right?"

Jin's pupils dilated slightly, and he silently gave his young master a thumbs up in his heart.

Remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot!

If you can't deal with Dumbledore, can't you deal with Harry Potter!

Harry's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded blankly.

For some reason, he seemed to see the shadow of Dumbledore in Aaron.

"That's good." Aaron reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't have much confidence in Harry Potter's character. If he could really behave himself, he wouldn't have been so tired in the past few years.

But Voldemort has been resurrected, and his biggest enemy is the headmaster of Hogwarts.

Unless he drops out of school now and hides at home honestly, it is not so easy to stay out of trouble.

But he really can't leave Hogwarts at this stage, and even thought about being a teacher in Hogwarts casually after graduation. After all, signing in for one day is ten magic points, how many years of hard work will be saved!

The members of the Wizengamot were sorting out their own files and documents. Harry stood there awkwardly, wondering if he had to get their consent before leaving.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

"Can we leave now?"

"What else? Are you going to stay and clean up?"

Harry glanced at the many judges with a guilty conscience and quickened his pace towards the door.

As soon as he walked out, he bumped into Arthur Weasley who was standing outside.

"Dumbledore left in a hurry just now and didn't tell me..."

"It's over." Harry said happily, "They dropped all the charges against me."

"I told you, they can't find you guilty." Mr. Weasley smiled, then looked at Aaron unexpectedly, "Maybe it's not appropriate to ask this, but why are you here?"

"Listening in." Aaron said casually, "After all, this is a trial for the savior, I'm quite interested."

Mr. Weasley was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted, "How do you feel?"

"Not very good?" Aaron shook his head disappointedly, "Also, it's best not to stand here."

"What do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the courtroom opened again, and dozens of wizards in purple robes walked out.

Mr. Weasley opened his mouth in shock, "My Merlin! Are they trying you?"

"I think so."

"It's spectacular, isn't it?" Aaron patted Harry on the shoulder, "Those who can be tried by such a lineup are all famous figures. If you spread the word, you can brag about it for a long time."

Harry smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think this is anything to be proud of."

Mr. Weasley is still somewhat famous in the Ministry of Magic, and some wizards have specially greeted him.

But Jeans is more popular than him. If Aaron was not still here, he would probably be dragged to the bar by a group of people.

Percy nodded slightly to Aaron when he passed by, but completely ignored Harry and Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Weasley was silent, and there was no father-son relationship at all.

"What's wrong with them?" Aaron asked curiously.

"Percy prefers to believe the Ministry of Magic." Harry said helplessly, "He thinks we are making trouble out of nothing, and he doesn't even trust Dumbledore."

"That's his own decision." Mr. Weasley pursed his lips and said, "But I know my son well, he will change his mind sooner or later."

Aaron nodded undeniably. Although the Weasley family is poor, their family education is still excellent.

The last people to come out of the courtroom were Cornelius and Umbridge, but their faces were obviously not very good.

"Mr. Gaius, are you free?" Fudge forced a smile, "I think we can talk."

"No time." Harry said unhappily, "Aaron has something to do when he goes back!"

"Free, of course free." Aaron said immediately.

"But you just now?" Harry blinked blankly.

"What do you know? It would be too tactless to refuse the invitation personally from the Minister of Magic."

"But Dumbledore..."

"That's not important." Aaron waved his hand. In his opinion, Fudge and Dumbledore were not at the same level.

He could offend the Minister of Magic without any psychological burden, because he knew that no matter how dissatisfied Fudge was with him, he could not do anything to him.

But he really didn't want to contact the headmaster of Hogwarts. Dumbledore definitely didn't live in vain for more than a hundred years. If he was sold by him, he would have to count money for him.

And from the day he decided to go to school, his family made it clear that his guards would not enter Hogwarts, which made him feel the long-lost freedom, but it also meant that his family background would not bring him any help in Hogwarts, and he had to settle everything by himself.
