Chapter 889 Hogwarts Educational Quality

"Ah!" said Fudge, looking completely lost. "Dumbledore, yes, so you, uh, uh, you received our letter and knew that the time and place of the trial had changed?"

"It seems that I didn't receive it." Dumbledore said cheerfully, "However, I made a lucky mistake and came to the Ministry of Magic three hours early, so there was no hindrance."

"Yeah, well, I think we need to get another chair, I... Weasley, can you?"

"Don't bother, don't bother," Dumbledore said mildly.

He drew his wand, gave it a little flick, and a soft, burnished chintz armchair appeared out of nowhere beside Harry.

Dumbledore sat down, butting the tips of his long fingers together.

From there he looked at Fudge, with a polite, interested expression on his face.

The members of the Wizengamot were still whispering and fidgeting.

Fudge was even more terrified. Ivan's previous cross-examination had already made him lose his momentum. Now that he saw Dumbledore appearing, he became even more panicked, not at all what the Minister of Magic should be.

"Yes," said Fudge, shuffling the papers in front of him. "Well, then, it's, uh, allegations, yes."

He pulled out a piece of parchment from a pile of documents, took a deep breath, and read aloud, "The defendant is charged with the following crimes: The defendant has previously received a written warning from the Ministry of Magic for similar charges, and this time he is fully aware of his actions. In the case of illegal, intentionally and knowingly cast an Invocation Charm in front of a Muggle in two Muggle residential areas at 9:23 p.m. on August 2nd, this act Violation of paragraph three and clause thirteen of 1875. So you are Harry James Potter, 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey?"

Fudge asked, glaring at Harry from above the parchment, trying to calm himself down.

"Yes." Harry replied.

"You were formally warned by the Ministry of Magic three years ago for using magic illegally, didn't you?"

"Yes, but..."

"And you magically conjured a Patronus on the night of August 2nd?" said Fudge.

"Yes!" said Harry, "but..."

"You know that you are under seventeen years old, and you are not allowed to use magic outside of school?"

"Yes, but..."

"Knowing that you were in a place full of Muggles?"

"Yes, but..."

"You were fully aware that there was a Muggle nearby?"

"Yes," said Harry annoyed, and Fudge kept holding him back, "but I only use magic because we..."

Ms. Burns interrupted him in a loud, deep voice, "You conjured up a full-fledged Patronus?"

"Yes," said Harry, "because..."

"A physical patron saint?"

"Yes." Harry felt irritable and a little desperate, "Ivan taught me that it was a stag, and it was a stag every time."

"Every time? Have you transformed into a Patronus before?" Ms. Burns asked in a loud voice, and then shifted her gaze to Ivan, "Mr. Mason next to you can also transform into a Patronus in the flesh?"

"Yes, I have been doing this for more than a year." Harry said, "Ivan has mastered it before me, he..."

"Are you fifteen now?" Ms. Burns paused, "Mr. Mason is one year younger than you?"

"Yes, is us……"

"You learned it in school?"

"Yes, I learned it in third year, and practiced it for a long time," said Harry.

Every time he said a sentence, the whispering discussion above became louder.

The members of the Wizengamot were amazed that they were able to summon a complete physical Patronus. This magic is not very high.

"It's remarkable," said Ms. Burns, watching them from above. "It's truly remarkable that you can conjure a real Patronus at your age!"

"In fact, there are already many students in Hogwarts who can summon their own physical patron saints. This is not something to be surprised about." Ivan said, "Speaking of it, it is thanks to Mr. Minister's arrangement of dementors." To protect the school, we can find such a good practice object and have the opportunity to master this spell."

"I remembered, it was indeed mentioned in the incident about you capturing Peter Pettigrew. Many people saw two complete patron saints appear and drive away hundreds of dementors..." Ms. Burns nodded.

The two Patronuses were a stag and a doe, Harry had summoned the stag, but he didn't know who had summoned the doe.

None of this person appeared afterwards, and Harry suspected for a moment that it might be his mother.

"My niece also told me about this. She came back from school and told me that she could summon a physical Patronus." A witch in the back row said, "To be honest, I was really surprised."

The wizard above started whispering again, and it seemed that they discovered that many of their children had learned the Patronus Charm.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, Hogwarts education is better than I thought." Ms. Burns said, "Dumbledore, I must sincerely admire you for enabling so many young wizards to learn the Patronus Curse is not an easy thing?"

"Thank you for your compliment, Amelia!" Dumbledore said gently, "But these are learned by the students spontaneously. As Aiwen said, if I need to thank you, I think Mr. Minister has contributed a lot to this .”

Fudge's face had turned purple, which was a great humiliation and irony to him.

Little wizards learn the Patronus Charm because he sent dementors to serve as guards at Hogwarts.

If the outside world knew this, what would people say?

Because of his incompetence, the little wizards had to protect themselves spontaneously...

As it turned out, his decision to send the Dementors to Hogwarts was stupid.

"I think the education situation at Hogwarts has exceeded expectations, and there are no problems that we were worried about before." Ms. Burns said, "In this case, sending to Hogwarts..."

"That's enough, it's not a question of how great magic is, nor is it a question of teaching reform at Hogwarts." Fudge said in an annoyed voice, "Now it's a trial, and actually I think the more great the worse because the kid did it in front of a Muggle!"

A number of wizards murmured their agreement, and Percy nodded in mock decency.

Instantly exasperated, Harry exclaimed, "I did that because of the dementors!"

No one had time to interrupt him again, he thought that people would whisper to each other again, but he didn't expect that there was no sound in the surroundings, it seemed even more solemn than before.
