Chapter 448 Withdraw all charges, moral kidnapping?

Jing Shen Tian Si
"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 mean let you describe what a dementor looks like."
Mrs. Figg reacted, with a look of embarrassment flashing across her face, "It's very big, and it's wearing a cloak.
Then everything goes cold, and it seems like all the joy in the world is gone at once. "
"Listen well." There was a hint of sarcasm in Fudge's tone, "Dementors don't wander around Muggle residential areas, and it's extremely unlikely that they will bump into a magician again.
Well, you can go, your witness is not very convincing. "
"Hehe!" Aaron laughed disdainfully, "According to what you said, Minister, there are not enough witnesses, because dementors will not appear in Muggle residential areas for no reason."
"Mr. Gaius." Fudge blushed, clenched his fists, and was on the verge of rage.
"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Aaron said disapprovingly.
He really didn't pay attention to Fudge, aside from his status as the Minister of Magic, Fudge is also a magister, the kind that can be suppressed in minutes.
"No problem, but don't forget that you are here to listen."
"But I also have a say, don't I?" Aaron asked rhetorically.
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 Connelly, I deliberately spared my precious time just to witness the trial of the highest court in the magic world, but I have to say that I am a little disappointed.
The defendant and the defendant's defender inexplicably missed the trial time, the defendant had almost no chance to argue, and the defendant's witnesses were... hard to be convincing.
hehe!I can't even think of how to prove Harry Potter's innocence. Should I arrest 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. Ever since he received the letter from the Ministry of Magic, he had been in fear, especially when he was deliberately targeted by the Minister of Magic. The feeling of unspeakable suffering was really sour.
Fudge clenched his molars, and seemed to have made some difficult decision, "Mr. Gaius, I know you and Harry Potter are good friends, and I can understand speaking for him, but..."
"Minister Fudge, please don't get me wrong, my relationship with Harry Potter is average.
The reason why I speak is only because I don't see the so-called fairness in the highest court in the magic world. "
The voice fell, and there was silence on the field.
The expressions of dozens of wizards changed. Some nodded secretly, such as Amelia, and some showed displeasure, such as Umbridge, but most of them were dazed and ashamed.
"I heard from Susan that there is a special student in Slytherin." Amelia said appreciatively, "However, your statement is a bit sharp, whether the Wizengamot is fair or not will not be determined until the trial is over. "
Aaron scratched his head embarrassingly, "I think everyone here is a wizard with a head and a face, and they shouldn't be as knowledgeable as a 15-year-old child like me!"
Crowd:......
"Does the accused witness have anything to add?" Amelia continued to ask.
"No, no more."
"And what about the defender?"
Dumbledore stood in front of the stage and said unhurriedly: "I don't think any of us would believe that it was a coincidence that the Dementors were there, someone sent them there."
puff!
Umbridge, who was sitting on Fudge's right side, let out a sneer, "I hope I misunderstood you Professor, after all, all dementors without exception are under the control of the Ministry of Magic.
In my humble opinion you seem for a moment to imply that the Ministry of Magic ordered the attack on the child. "
"That would be troublesome, Madam Deputy Minister.
So I'm sure the Ministry of Magic will launch a full investigation into why those two dementors stayed away from Azkaban and launched an unauthorized attack. "
"Yes!" Aaron nodded approvingly, "If the dementors are disobedient, it means that there may be problems in Azkaban at any time."
"There's no Dementor out of the Ministry's hands," growled Fudge.
"I just said that casually, Mr. Minister, don't be nervous." Aaron said sarcastically, and then changed the topic, "But we still have to take precautions before they happen. If possible, we should send a group of Aurors over there."
"Mr. Gaius, it's not your turn to dictate matters about the Ministry of Magic."
"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion.
It's up to you to adopt it or not, but...if Azkaban does have an accident because of the dementors, it will be your responsibility too. "
The corner of Fudge's mouth twitched violently, and he felt that his chest was extremely uncomfortable, as if a big rock was blocked.
When Jins wrote him a letter two days ago, he felt something was wrong, but due to the strong influence of the Gaius family, he couldn't refuse it.
It's nothing more than two auditorium seats, so it won't cause much trouble.
But now he really regrets it. If he had known that Aaron's mouth was so bad, he would rather lose the face of the Gaius family than let him enter this courtroom.
Dumbledore walked up to Fudge seriously, "Connelly, I beg you to be sensible, there are signs that the Dark Lord has returned, this is irrefutable."
"He didn't come back at all." Fudge said through gritted teeth.
Dumbledore sighed slightly. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help being disappointed when he heard Fudge say this.
He faced the crowd and said in a calm tone: "In the case of Harry Potter, the law clearly stipulates that when life is threatened, magic can be used in front of Muggles."
"The law can modify Dumbledore when necessary." Fudge said viciously.
"Apparently, I've only been out of the Wizengamot for a few weeks, and a trivial case of underage use of magic is going to a criminal court."
"Dumbledore has been the Wizengamot's chief wizard for a long time, but he was deposed a few weeks ago." Jinns whispered.
Aaron couldn't help but click his tongue secretly, not 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 smear his image and reputation, he is still trying to take back his rights.
"Politics is really dark! No wonder people in the family don't like being an official!"
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of eyes fell on Aaron.
"Uh... I'm expressing my feelings, everyone, don't take it to heart.
I still have a lot of trust in the Ministry of Magic, and abuse of power has absolutely nothing to do with you. "
Dumbledore spread his hands, "As a defender, I have said everything I want to say, and I invite you to conduct a trial."
The crowd started whispering, and Amelia said after a few minutes: "If you agree with the conviction, please raise your hand."
Fudge was the first to raise his hand, Umbridge the second, but even with the Minister and Under-Secretary leading the way, less than a fifth were in favor of conviction.
"Please raise your hand if you agree to withdraw all charges." Amelia asked again.
One hand was raised up, even Mrs. Figg was no exception, forming a sharp contrast with just now.
Fudge swallowed hard, he was extremely angry, but Dang had no choice but to suppress his anger, "Dismiss all charges."
boom!
With one blow of the hammer, the hearing ended hastily.
"Great." Dumbledore applauded, then waved his wand, and the seats he conjured up disappeared instantly.
"Aaron, are you free?
I think we need to talk. "
"No time." Aaron said without thinking, "I have something to do when I go back!"
Dumbledore pursed his lips, "Okay, I see."
"Professor." Harry walked over impatiently, but was interrupted by Dumbledore before he could speak.
"Harry, we'd better not have too much contact right now.
It's not convenient for me to tell you the reason, but don't think too much about it.
In addition, if you have any troubles that cannot be solved, you can go to Mr. Gaius. I don't think he will refuse to help his friends.
Isn't that right, Mr. Gaius? "
Aaron: …
Nima!You are very bad old man.
what is this?Coercion or temptation or moral kidnapping?
Aaron gave Jins a wink, expecting him to help him out.
And he just looked up at the dark ceiling, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
"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 in relief, and left the courtroom quickly without giving Harry a chance to speak.
"That, I..."
"Needless to say." Aaron interrupted him hastily, "I think as a responsible man, even if there is trouble, he will find a way to solve it by himself, and he won't trouble his friends, right?"
Jins' pupils were slightly dilated, and he silently gave a thumbs up for his young master in his heart.
Drain from the bottom of the pot!
Can't deal with Dumbledore, can't deal with Harry Potter!
The corners of 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 keep his own place, he wouldn't have been so tired in the past few years.
But Voldemort has been resurrected, and his worst enemy is the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Unless he dropped out of school now and honestly hid at home, it would not be so easy to be alone.
But he really couldn't do without Hogwarts at this stage, and even thought about being a teacher at Hogwarts casually after graduation. After all, one day of signing up is ten magic points, so how many years of struggle will be saved!
The members of the Wizengamot were sorting out their documents and official documents, and Harry stood there awkwardly, wondering if they needed their permission to leave.
"What are you doing, let's go!"
"Can I leave?"
"Otherwise? Are you going to stay and clean?"
Harry glanced at the many judges with a guilty conscience, and walked towards the door at a faster pace.
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."
"Let me just say, they can't convict you." Mr. Weasley smiled, and then looked at Aaron unexpectedly, "Perhaps it's not appropriate to ask, but why are you here?"
"Listen." Aaron said casually, "After all, this is a trial against the savior, and I'm quite interested."
Mr. Weasley froze for a moment, but quickly realized, "How do you feel?"
"Not good?" Aaron shook his head in disappointment, "Also, it's best not to stand here."
"What do you mean?"
Before the words were finished, the door of the courtroom opened again, and dozens of wizards in purple robes walked out of it.
Mr. Weasley opened his mouth wide in shock, "My Merlin! Are they officially going to trial you?"
"I think so."
"It's spectacular, isn't it?" Aaron patted Harry on the shoulder, "The people who can be judged by this lineup are all famous people, and you can brag about it for a long time."
Harry smiled wryly, "I don't think this is something to be proud of."
Mr. Weasley was quite famous in the Ministry of Magic, and some wizards greeted him specially.
But Jins is more popular than him. If it wasn't because Aaron was still here, he would probably be dragged to the bar by a group of people.
Percy nodded slightly to Aaron when passing by, but completely ignored Harry and Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Weasley was also silent, showing no father-son relationship at all.
"What happened to them?" Aaron asked curiously.
"Percy prefers to trust the Ministry of Magic." Harry said helplessly. "He thinks we're making trouble out of nothing. Even Dumbledore doesn't trust him anymore."
"That was his own decision." Mr. Weasley pursed his lips, "but I know my son, he will change his mind sooner or later."
Aaron nodded irrefutably. Although the Weasley family is poor, their family education is pretty good.
The last ones to come out of the courtroom were Connelly and Umbridge, but their expressions were obviously not very good-looking.
"Mr. Gaius, are you free?" Fudge forced a smile, "I think we can talk."
"No time." Harry said angrily, "Aaron still has something to do when he goes back!"
"I'm free, of course I'm free." Aaron said immediately.
"But you just now?" Harry blinked blankly.
"What do you know? It would be too short-sighted to refuse the Minister of Magic's personal invitation."
"But Dumbledore..."
"That's not important." Aaron waved his hand. In his opinion, Fudge and Dumbledore are not in the same rank at all.
He could offend the Minister of Magic without any psychological burden, because he knew that no matter how dissatisfied Fudge was with him, he would have nothing to do with him.
But the headmaster of Hogwarts really didn't want to contact him. Dumbledore's more than 100 years of work was definitely not in vain. If he was accidentally sold by him, he had to count the 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 freedom he had not seen for a long time, but it also meant that his family background at Hogwarts would not give him He brings a little help, and everything has to be settled by himself.
"Well, one of them is very strong, and the other is very thin."
"No, no, I mean let you describe what a dementor looks like."
Mrs. Figg reacted, with a look of embarrassment flashing across her face, "It's very big, and it's wearing a cloak.
