Chapter 176: Turning against guests

Cedric looked at Cornelius Fudge with a bit of weirdness, even though he was slow in interpersonal communication.

He had also long understood from his communication with Carl what the other party was thinking, which was to use the rules to bring down the Minister of Magic.

As a result, the person in front of him not only did not feel the coming of danger, but repeatedly reiterated the rationality of the other party's subsequent actions.

It is truly a rare talent.

In order to live up to the other party's kindness, Cedric began his performance, using the speech skills he had practiced hard in the past two days.

He expressed it all at once and spoke it with great emotion.

"On that day, Voldemort and his dark wizards attacked Hogwarts and set the Forbidden Forest on fire."

"It caused the death of countless magical animals. It also killed several centaurs in front of everyone because of its evil black magic."

"I used their vitality to revive my dead teammates. The scene was extremely tense and dangerous."

"My classmates and I are in danger at all times, and we have ample witnesses to prove this."

As soon as Cedric finished speaking, the group of Hogwarts teachers and students, led by Professor McGonagall, immediately stood up and shouted.

First of all, there are George and Fred, who love to join in the fun.

George spoke first.

"Yes, the situation was extremely dangerous at that time. I was holding the weapon that Mr. Hohenzollern gave me."

"Like a fox on the battlefield, he shuttled between various bunkers, continuously pouring bullets at the dark wizards attacking Hogwarts."

"The movements are so clever and the standards are so precise, it's so handsome."

Fred added.

"Of course, with my perfect assistance, you can certainly do that, oh dear George."

"I have to admit that you were very handsome at that time, but you also have to admit that when I lowered my body in an instant."

"When the opponent's magic flew past my scalp, I looked much more handsome than you at that moment."

The two brothers sang in unison, which brought back many memories of the little wizards, and they began to show off to each other.

Their heroic actions on that day, even though these guys kept talking more and more outrageous, like 800 meters away.

The dog heads of the dark wizards who were shot to death by one shot all came out, and Professor McGonagall could only use a sharp look to calm these guys down.

At the same time speaking.

"Dear members of the Wizengamot Council Presidium, although the children's expressions were exaggerated, they did not lie."

"I can vouch for this with my reputation as a Hogwarts professor. The situation at the time was indeed extremely urgent."

"Mr. Hohenzollern himself was also attacked by Voldemort's killing curse if it weren't for his phoenix."

"He may have lost his life at this moment. Although he used the Unforgivable Curse, it is extenuating. I hope the presidium can make a fair judgment."

After Professor McGonagall spoke, Cedric continued.

"Dear members of parliament, as my teachers and students have said, the situation was urgent."

"We are just using appropriate methods to protect our school and personal lives. Life is an inalienable right of every person."

"I think no one can object to this. I have finished my speech. Thank you."

"Life is everyone's inalienable right." After Cedric finished his speech, old Crouch, the Attorney General, also spoke.

"No one will deny this, but at the same time, no one in the British wizarding world can deny this."

"Avada Kedavra is known as the Unforgivable Curse. Any wizard who uses this curse will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban."

“No one can deny this.”

After hearing these words, the Hogwarts teachers and students, who had just spoken actively, and Cedric all fell silent.

After a full minute, Cedric looked up at the three people on the podium and spoke in a strong tone.

"But when a person's life is threatened, he must have the right to protect himself."

"We cannot watch our friends and classmates fall into danger, even my client personally."

"He also has the right to seek emergency shelter, but the means he used were not appropriate."

"The means were not appropriate." Old Crouch's tone became tougher, and he said righteously.

"Use the Unforgivable Curse to burn the ten dark wizards and the resurrected Voldemort you mentioned to ashes."

"Can this kind of black magic be described as 'not quite appropriate'?"

As he spoke, Old Crouch glanced secretly at Cornelius Fudge and saw the delighted expression on the other's face.

I sneered in my heart, and I will make you fall from the top to the bottom in a moment.

So he continued speaking righteously.

"No matter what, the use of the Unforgivable Curses is an indisputable fact, even if the situation is critical."

"Hogwarts should also report to the British Ministry of Magic immediately if everyone is as you say."

"If we use inappropriate magic to deal with the crisis, then why are we standing here today?"

"Rules are above everything, Mr. Karl Hohenzollern. He is just an ordinary student and has no power to enforce the law."

"Using the Killing Curse to kill someone is unforgivable."

As soon as old Crouch finished speaking, the officials of the Ministry of Magic immediately began to applaud and cheer for the other side.

Cornelius Fudge also wanted to applaud at this time, but due to his status, he could only wave his hands to signal the officials to be quiet.

At the same time, he deliberately pretended to be quite regretful and looked at Carl in the audience.

"Mr. Hohenzollern, do you have anything else to say?"

When the sleepy Karl heard this, he turned his neck to relax and slowly looked up at the other person.

His signature smirk appeared on his face.

As soon as Cornelius Fudge saw that smile, he felt something was wrong, and the result was just as he expected.

Carl paused for a second and then started to criticize without any hesitation.

"I have something to say. I want to tell you and the bunch of rubbish behind you that you are just a bunch of idiots. Don't eat the sour radish."

"How dare you!!" Before Cornelius Fudge could react, old Crouch shouted first.

Karl continued to rant angrily, following up on what the other party said.

"How dare I do this? Who gave me the courage? Is that what you want to ask? Then I'll tell you where my courage comes from."

"Where were you when my dear classmates were fighting desperately against Voldemort and his minions?"

"Where were you when Voldemort cast the Killing Curse on me and tried to kill me?"

"Where were you when the entire Hogwarts castle was crumbling?"

Three consecutive questions made Cornelius Fudge speechless, but Carl's output was not over yet.

He continued to rant.

"I just did everything I could to protect everything I held dear, and now I'm locked up here."

"I see you guys are so high up and saying some big bullshit, so very good Mr. Barty Crouch."

"You just said that I have no law enforcement powers, but when danger comes, where are the Aurors who have those law enforcement powers?"

"Don't tell me they were still sleeping at home. You actually admitted that the safety of Hogwarts is under the protection of the British Ministry of Magic."

"Very good then. As one of the directors of Hogwarts, I will now formally sue the British Ministry of Magic on behalf of the Hogwarts Board of Directors."

"If you want to convict me, you must compensate me for my losses first!!"
