Chapter 466 Aggressive

The tenth courtroom was silent except for the sound of high heels hitting the ground.

The voice came from Ada. She did not rush the people who were reviewing the case, but paced slowly in front of Harry. Although she didn't speak, every step she took seemed to step on everyone's hearts.

Dementors, Little Whinging, how is this possible?

The Ministry of Magic officials and members of the Wizengamot present did not believe that dementors would come to Little Whinging, let alone that they would attack Harry Potter.

The dementors did not stay in Azkaban, but ran to the Muggle area, and happened to meet the only wizard in this area! How high are the odds? Not even the bad gambler Ludo Bagman would place a bet.

There's no way this is happening!

Everyone finally stopped keeping silent, and the Wizengamot members on both sides began to whisper and discuss this impossible thing.

Ada stopped pacing, and she carefully observed Fudge's face. On the day she learned that Harry was attacked by dementors, Ada concluded that this incident was the work of Fudge, or at least an insider.

Judging from Fudge's expression today, it seemed that Mr. Minister didn't know anything about it, otherwise he shouldn't have had this expression on his face. Ada would never misread that flash of shock.

The dementors under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic attacked Harry Potter for no reason, but the minister himself had no knowledge of it. Who did the two dementors take orders from?

Is it Voldemort's mole in the Ministry of Magic? However, wasn't Voldemort always obsessed with killing Harry himself, so why did he suddenly do it by pretending to be someone else?

This thing is getting more and more interesting.

"Dementors?" Ms. Bones said, her thick eyebrows raised high and her monocle seemed about to slip off. "What do you mean, kid?"

"I mean, two dementors appeared in the alley and were heading towards my cousin and me!"

Fudge's harsh jeers suddenly sounded in the courtroom, and then some people started laughing too.

Fudge said: "This joke is not funny at all. If you think you can get away with this nonsense, you are dead wrong!"

"How come Dementors are under orders from the Ministry of Magic to appear in Little Whinging?" Ms. Bones said, "I still don't quite understand what you mean, child."

It sounds like Ms. Bones is questioning Harry from the perspective of the Ministry of Magic, thinking he is lying. But in fact, Ms. Bones asked him to be more specific and pointed the finger at Fudge and his cronies.

Without Fudge's orders, who could authorize the Dementors to attack? In other words, who dares to do this?

But Harry did not understand Ms. Bones's hint and regarded her question as a forced question. Of all the people present, Harry only trusted Ada.

"I'm not lying!" Harry shouted, his anger making the words seem even weaker and adding to the jeers from the others.

"There were two of them, blocking each other from both ends of the alley. Everything became so dark and cold. My cousin touched them and tried desperately to escape-"

"That's enough!" Fudge shouted angrily at Harry, "Stop telling lies you made up in advance! It will only insult our ears!"

Fudge stood up from his seat and looked down at Ada and Harry with an arrogant expression, as if he were looking at two weak insects.

"It does sound ridiculous and unbelievable." Ada said, "But in fact, we have a witness. She is not a Muggle. She can prove that everything Harry Potter said happened."

"There is only one registered wizard in Little Whinging, Harry Potter! And Muggles cannot see Dementors." Fudge said, his eyes looking closely at Ada, as if this would let Ada know As if retreating from difficulty.

Hearing this, Ada made a very sad expression and said: "Our witness can see dementors. Unfortunately, this lady did not become a wizard."

Not being a Muggle, and not being a wizard, there was only one possibility.

Fudge said arrogantly: "So the witness is a squib? The testimony of a squib is difficult to convince." He looked at the people on the left and right and asked: "Can a squib see dementors?"

Upon hearing that the witness was a Squib, the Wizengamot present showed disappointment. They also did not trust the Squib's testimony.

There has always been a chain of blood contempt in the magical world, and Squibs are among them. Their status is similar to that of wizards and Muggles born from Muggles. This was true even though the Squib was of noble blood.

Some wizards even regard Squibs as a disgrace to the wizarding world, an existence that deserves to be eliminated even more than Mudbloods and Muggles.

"In fact, they can see it!" Ada took a step forward and said loudly, "Mr. Minister, what you just said is really disappointing! Even if you can't treat them equally, as the leader of the magic world, You shouldn’t directly insult and discriminate against them.”

The word "squib" itself is an insult. It may not be as vicious as "mudblood", but it is a contemptuous term.

The Minister of Magic almost openly discriminates against and insults such people, which shows how serious the discrimination is in the wizarding world.

Ada's words failed to cause any waves in the courtroom. They felt that the minister was right and the Squib's testimony was unconvincing. As for the discrimination and insults Ada mentioned...

Just discrimination, just insult, what's wrong?

"The time of everyone here is precious, and we don't have time to listen to the nonsense of a squib, Drizzt. If you have nothing else to submit, I think the sentence can be pronounced..." Fudge said maliciously.

Ada started walking back and forth in front of Fudge again, which made Mr. Minister upset.

"No, according to the "Wizengamot Charter of Rights, the defendant has the right to invite witnesses to appear in court to testify." Ada looked at Ms. Bones, "Is that so, Director?"

"Yes," said Ms. Bones, "it is."

"We don't want to listen to a squib's nonsense!" Fudge said viciously, "Harry Potter cast spells in front of Muggles. The evidence is conclusive. Stop trying to quibble!"

Ada took another step forward, and her position was closer to Fudge, close enough that Bang Bang could punch Fudge twice.

She said: "I don't know why Mr. Minister is so eager to convict Harry Potter and even skips the due process. Shouldn't the trial be fair and impartial? In order to ensure fairness, it should follow the normal trial The process goes through. If necessary, part or all of the trial process needs to be disclosed to the public."

"You just opened this courtroom, which is only used to try felons, for a trivial matter of casting spells outside the school, and now you tell me that your time is precious... I don't quite understand your concept of time. Also, You obviously just want to throw Harry Potter directly into Azkaban and let him fend for himself there, just like Sirius Black. In that case, why are you holding a trial?"

Ada no longer looked at Fudge, her eyes swept around the high benches on both sides, and then said: "Now, I file a lawsuit with the Ministry of Magic, the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, and the Wizengamot, accusing Cornelius... Oswald Fudge committed murder. He wasted my precious time and my precious life."

It was so loud that the Ministry of Magic officials and Wizengamot members present fell silent again.

They thought that Dumbledore would come to defend Harry Potter today, but it turned out that it was just one of Dumbledore's students; they thought that the young lady would be so frightened that she wet her pants. It was the old fool Dumbledore who came to defend Harry Potter. It was Li Duo's stupid move; they originally thought that this young lady was only good at fighting, but they didn't expect that not only was she good at fighting, she was also good at speaking, and what she said was well-founded.

From the moment she entered the courtroom, Ada's behavior has been very good. She has not exceeded the rules in the slightest. She has neither despised the Wizengamot nor violated the court. Facing Fudge's aggressiveness, she didn't do anything rude, and she won a lot of favor from the Wizengamot.

After all, who wouldn’t want such an outstanding child to be his own? It would be perfect if it didn't involve Dumbledore...

Just when everyone had a good impression of Ada, she opened her bloody mouth and exposed her fierce fangs.

Suing the Minister of Magic for deliberate murder because Cornelius Fudge wasted her time... This... we heard it wrong!

At this moment, everyone present knew why Dumbledore asked her to defend him. She wasn't here to defend him at all, she was just here to take away Harry Potter and slap the Ministry of Magic in the face.

Dumbledore is so cruel!

"Oops...I forgot, this is England, covering the sky with one hand..." Ada's voice sounded in the courtroom again, and these words made everyone feel cold for no reason.

But Ada had no intention of stopping.

She said to herself in a voice that everyone could hear: "If I am lucky enough to walk out of the Ministry of Magic alive today, I will definitely file a lawsuit with the Ministry of Magic of other countries and the International Federation of Wizards. This matter is not over!"
