Chapter 418 Weissengamo Reserve Member, Peter’s Strikes Back!!
Mr. Weasley’s eyes widened and he looked at the badge on his chest in amazement, “Peter, when did you become a member of Wiesengamo?” You’re only seventeen, Merlin, that’s amazing! ”
Harry was confused, he didn’t even know anything about Wiesengamo.
Peter smiled and waved his hand, “Not yet, Mr. Weasley, I am only a reserve member of Wiesengamo, and whether I can become a full member in the future is still two questions.” ”
“You’re too modest to say that, Peter.”
Mr. Weasley said enviously, “The members of Wiesengamo are only fifty, and to become a reserve member at your current age is beyond everyone else.” ”
Peter shook his head modestly.
Peter actually felt quite abrupt about becoming a reserve member of The wizengam.
The badge was sent to him by Amelia Burns after Peter’s Triwizard Tournament.
The weissengamo reserve members are recommended by senior Wiesengamo members and then voted by more than half of the members before they can be confirmed.
Peter’s referees were Gorsda Marchban, Amelia Burns, and the previous minister, Millison Barnold, all three of whom had frequent correspondence with Peter and were on good terms.
Although Fudge and others strongly opposed it, after Peter won the final of the Tri-Final Cup, most of the members who had been watching, as if they had received some news, voted in favor and became the reserve members of Wiesengamo with a very high number of approvals.
In Ms. Marchiban’s words, those who voted for it seemed to be afraid that Peter would not want to, and wanted to try to win him over.
Peter certainly knew why, and almost all of these members of The Wiesengamo were important people in the wizarding world, and the news was very sensitive.
What happened in the village of Little Hangerton was still a secret to them, and being able to deal with Voldemort and solve a group of Death Eaters in front of him was certainly worthy of their attention.
That’s why I immediately changed my attitude.
“Now that Peter has you with Harry, I can breathe a sigh of relief.”
Arthur Weasley said, “I don’t know how they did it, but suddenly the time and place of the interrogation were changed, and we almost couldn’t catch up.” ”
Of course, Fudge didn’t want Dumbledore to come and convict Harry as soon as possible, and then drive him out of the wizarding world, Peter said to himself.
Peter motioned for Harry to push open the door and followed him inside.
In the courtroom, everyone looked at Harry who had walked in, and Harry was a little confused by these eyes.
“You’re late.”
An indifferent voice sounded in the courtroom.
“I’m sorry,” Harry said nervously, “I didn’t know the time had changed. ”
“That’s not the jury’s fault,” the voice said, “an owl has been sent to your house this morning.” ”
“Why suddenly and temporarily change the trial time? This is obviously in line with the regulations. It is said that this morning suddenly changed, is the Ministry of Magic abusing its power? ”
Peter walked over to Harry and questioned.
“Who are you?”
The voice suddenly asked with some confusion.
“Peter York.”
Peter replied calmly.
When the people present heard him introduce himself, they suddenly whispered and looked at him with curious eyes.
Fudge was very annoyed when he saw Peter appear, “Peter York, get out!” This is the place where the members of Wizengamo will be judged, not where you should come! ”
Peter lit up the badge on his chest and said with a smile, “Minister, I am a reserve member of Wiesengamo, and I also have the right to participate, not to mention that I am now an advocate on the Harry Potter side, and you can still catch me.” ”
“You are only a reserve member, and only a full member can participate in the trial: Auror, throw him out!”
Fudge said angrily that he didn’t want to see Peter at all, this guy was like his nemesis, and it wouldn’t be good to meet him.
“Minister, don’t misinterpret the law, the reserve members are also members of Wiesengamo, and there is no explicit stipulation that only full members can participate.”
that
“Unless you can reformulate a detailed rule, only full members are allowed to enter the trial chamber.” ”
Amelia Burns sat in the judge’s seat in the trial chamber, looked at Peter with a smile, and then said, “Minister, it is true that there is no definition in the regulations that only full members are allowed to enter the trial chamber, so Mr. York is right. ”
“It is also true that the reserve members are also members of the Wiesengamo and cannot refuse the addition of the reserves.”
“It’s true.”
Most of the Members of Wiesengamo nodded in agreement, believing that Peter could attend the trial.
When Fudge saw this, his face was a little bad, and he didn’t know how these members were so active today, and they all spoke for Peter.
This made him feel a little at ease in his heart, but he had done enough for this trial, but he couldn’t just fail like this.
So he gave up continuing to target Peter, turned to Harry, and pretended to be serious, “Very good, now that the defendant has arrived, let’s officially begin.” Mr. Potter, please sit down at your seat at trial and accept the next questioning. ”
Harry heard this and took a hesitant step forward, only to be pulled by Peter.
“Mr. Minister,” peter stepped forward and looked at the crowd, “before Harry was questioned, I wanted to ask one thing, that is, why did he receive a warning letter like the other students, but was brought here to be tried? ”
When the jury heard this, they all looked surprised and immediately became noisy, and one of the very elderly members of Wiesengamo asked directly, “Mr. York, do you mean that Harry Potter is using magic outside of school for the first time?” ”
Peter nodded, “That’s true, and this time he was forced to do so.
“Nonsense!”
Fudge stood up and interrupted, then said, “This is not the first time Harry Potter has used magic outside of school, he used magic in the summer before his second year and received a warning letter from us!” ”
“Yes,” Peter looked at him playfully, “I remember that time I was personally taken to the Ministry of Magic with Harry Potter, and proved that I had been wronged, and withdrew the charges.” Have you forgotten the Minister?
Otherwise, you can ask the pink-clad Lady Umbridge behind you, who was previously the director of the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, but she dropped the charges in person. ”
Peter looked at the bald old man in the jury seat and pointed at him, “Otherwise you can ask Mr. Saxony, who was the same Lady Umbridge whom he had taken us to find.” ”
The old Saxon man in the jury stood up, nodded, and said, “Yes, I testified that I had taken them to quash the charges, and I had also examined Mr. Potter’s wand with a flashback spell, which he had not touched during his summer vacation.” If he hadn’t used magic outside of school afterwards, the accusation wouldn’t have been established. ”
Hearing Saxony’s testimony, the jury became noisy again.
Fudge’s face grew darker, which was different from what he thought.
“Minister, may I ask If what Mr. York said is true?” Was this the first time Harry Potter had used magic outside of school? ”
Burns asked with a serious face, “If the situation is true, there is no need for this trial to go down, you just need to send him a warning letter, you don’t have to use it so much.” ”
Fudge was a little anxious, and he looked behind him at Umbridge, hoping she would give him some help.
