Chapter 482 Sirius, retrial
After promising Fred and George that he would take them to the box after lunch, Kyle finally felt peaceful for a while.
In order to prevent Kyle from sneaking away, Fred and George did not go to the Gryffindor table, but sat with Hufflepuff.
Because they had been here many times, they naturally sat on both sides of Kyle and greeted the people around them familiarly.
I originally thought this would be foolproof, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
No one expected that just when Kyle finished the last bite of corn cake, Dumbledore suddenly appeared in the Great Hall and walked straight to the Hufflepuff table.
"Kyle, can you come with me...if you're full," he said.
"No problem, Professor," Kyle said.
He spread his hands towards the stunned Weasley brothers, and then followed Dumbledore outside the auditorium.
"I just got the news." Dumbledore walked out of the auditorium door quickly and said: "The retrial about Sirius will be held at one o'clock. Connelly invited us to attend. If you agree to attend, we will just be able to go together."
"Of course I agree, but professor, can I go too?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Fudge mentioned your name specifically. He said that as the first person to discover the clues, you are fully qualified to participate in this retrial... He also said that the retrial was scheduled for today. , just because Hogwarts is closed for the weekend."
Kyle pouted.
He didn't believe this. Fudge was not someone who would do such unnecessary things. If he really thought so, wouldn't it be more convenient to arrange the retrial during the holidays?
"He probably wants a witness." Kyle muttered, "To increase credibility."
"Connelly is very thoughtful." Dumbledore did not deny it. "After all, we only found out about this through you. Your presence will always make the retrial less controversial.
In addition, as a recipient of the Second Class Order of Merlin, although you have not graduated yet, you still have some say in the Wizengamot. "
"Wizengamot?" Kyle asked in surprise: "Does it mean that I also have the right to vote?"
Dumbledore said nothing, just smiled politely.
"Okay, I get it," Kyle said.
Obviously, his right to speak is just literal... he can say hello to other people, but nothing else.
Dumbledore did not walk to the school gate, but stopped on a field in front of the Black Lake.
He stretched out his arm and said to Kyle: "There are less than 10 minutes until the retrial. I think we'd better get there quickly."
Kyle grabbed his arm.
With the world spinning for a while, when Kyle opened his eyes again, he was already in a magnificent hall.
Kyle did not ask why Dumbledore could Apparate at Hogwarts. There was no need. For wizards who were powerful enough, those restrictive methods were not that effective.
Besides, Dumbledore was still the headmaster, so it wouldn't be difficult to temporarily grant himself special privileges.
"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, you are finally here." A tall figure walked over from the other side of the hall.
"I just can't believe it's possible that Blake is innocent when it's been 12 years since his case was settled."
"I was as surprised as you were when I learned about this, Kingsley." Dumbledore shook hands with him and asked: "How is it now? We weren't too late."
"No, the retrial will be held on time at one o'clock. It's completely late now." Kingsley said,
He glanced at Kyle and didn't ask Dumbledore why he brought a student here. He had obviously received the news in advance.
"Follow me, the retrial will be held in the third courtroom..."
Kingsley walked out, followed by Kyle.
After walking out of the hall, they came to another splendid hall. This place was almost filled with wizards, there were probably hundreds of them, and everyone was walking forward in a hurry.
<divclass="contentadv">"This way," Kingsley said.
They joined the crowd, but with Dumbledore following them, the journey was relatively smooth, and other wizards would politely make way for them when they saw them.
They also passed by a table marked "Security Check", where guests' wands were checked, and there was a long queue in front of them.
But Kingsley didn't stop and walked straight over.The wizard responsible for checking the wand slowly took the other person's wand as if he didn't see them.
"Oh...why can't they be inspected..." In the middle of the team, a person with a thick accent asked: "That child...can't be a staff member at first glance..."
The originally lifeless team immediately became lively. Everyone craned their necks to look at the person who was speaking, guessing which remote corner he came from and suddenly asked such a stupid question.
Didn't he see who was following the child?
The person responsible for checking the wand also raised his head and said lazily: "If your name is Albus Dumbledore, you can come over now..."
Immediately there was a burst of laughter around.
At this time, Kyle and Dumbledore had already passed through the hall and entered an elevator.
There were many people inside, and they all greeted Dumbledore warmly.
"Long time no see, Albus, I guess you must be here because of the Black incident." said a bald wizard holding a cardboard box.
"Yes, Arcoli," said Dumbledore.
"It's really surprising." said the wizard named Akoli. "Everyone in the ministry who is qualified to participate in the retrial has passed. I dare say that in the next month, this matter will always appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet. above.
If Black can overturn the verdict, it will take even longer. "
At this time, a cold female voice spoke.
"The seventh floor, the Department of Magical Games and Sports, includes the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters, the Official Gobstone Club and the Office of Patents for Funny Products."
The elevator door opened, and there was a messy corridor in front of it, with various Quidditch posters staggered on the walls.
"Oh, I'm here." Akoli walked out of the elevator, "See you next time, Albus."
"See you next time."
The elevator door closed again.
Then they passed the Department of Magical Transportation and the Department of International Magical Cooperation... After arriving at this level, there were only three of them left in the elevator.
Then there are the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and their destination this time...
"The Department of Magical Law Enforcement, including the Office for the Abuse of Magic, Auror Command and the Wizengamot Governing Body."
"We're here," Dumbledore said.
They followed Kingsley out of the elevator and came to a corridor with doors on both sides.
"Come with me, we have to hurry up." Kingsley turned left and walked forward along a corridor.After walking past the Auror headquarters, which was covered with various portraits, he finally stopped in front of a heavy wooden door.
"This is the third courtroom," Kingsley said.
"Someone suggested that the Tenth Courtroom be the location... Fortunately, the minister did not agree. That place has been abandoned for a long time, and it is deeper than the elevator.
It's good here now, at least it's not that dark, and there's no unpleasant musty smell... Come on in. "
Kyle stepped forward. Even through the heavy door, he could hear the noise coming from inside.
After promising Fred and George that he would take them to the box after lunch, Kyle finally felt peaceful for a while.
