Chapter 195 Trial

The humble old woman who kept begging the judge was probably in her sixties and was wearing a tattered black robe.

Because of his old age, his body was hunched, and his skinny left hand kept pulling at the judge, while his right hand tightly grasped a shiny medal.

Because Dumbledore and Harry were too famous, when Wright and the others appeared in the lounge area.

The commotion they caused also attracted the attention of the old man who was begging for help.

The old man turned his head and saw Wright and the other two being surrounded.

Deep hatred suddenly emerged in her eyes, but was immediately suppressed.

Then, the old man staggered over, pushed through the crowd, and said to the bewildered Harry in a sad voice:

"Please, I've been separated from my child for more than ten years!"

"It took me so much effort to see him again. I don't want to be separated from him... wuwuwu..."

As he spoke, the old man began to cry softly.

Seeing the old man suddenly appear, Harry looked at Dumbledore and Wright in panic.

Facing the crying old woman, Dumbledore put his hand on Harry's shoulder, sighed, and said with sadness:

"Mrs. Peter, I know this incident is very devastating to you, but I'm sorry!"

"We must all be responsible for what we have done, and we must not let innocent people suffer injustice..."

Hearing Dumbledore's extremely official words, Mrs. Peter paused in her crying and was pushed away by the crowd, trembling all over.

After dealing with the fans who surrounded them, Dumbledore took Wright and Harry and temporarily left the rest area.

As he walked on the road, Harry thought of the elderly man who had suddenly appeared just now, his old face, his tattered robes, and his extremely humble prayer.

At this moment, he felt a little bit reluctant and couldn't help looking at the calm Dumbledore and the cool Wright.

"Professor! Is she Pettigrew's mother?" Harry asked Dumbledore hesitantly.

"Yes, it must be difficult for her to accept the truth that her dead child has returned and is a Death Eater!"

Dumbledore did not hide anything and directly revealed the old man's true identity.

"She looks so pitiful!"

Harry said with a bitter face, thinking of Mrs. Peter's condition just now.

Hearing Harry's sympathetic words, Dumbledore frowned slightly, but said nothing, as if he was considering how to respond.

Looking at the troubled Dumbledore, Wright directly pointed out the problem and asked Harry, who had a bitter face:

"Harry, if someone cried and knelt down to beg you for a gold Galleon, would you give it to him?"

“Maybe I will give it to you…”

Although Harry didn't know why Light suddenly avoided his question, he still answered honestly.

After seeing Harry's answer, Wright continued to ask questions:

"What if someone cornered you with a magic wand and asked you to give him Galleons, and threatened to beat you if you didn't give him Galleons? Would you give him Galleons?"

"Of course I don't..." Hearing this assumption, young Harry spoke his thoughts without thinking.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately looked at Wright with wide eyes.

Seeing Harry's performance, Wright knew that he had understood why Mrs. Peter behaved so humbly.

"That's right! Showing weakness is also a strategy, especially when facing people with good intentions. It is a kind of force..."

"Let's go, no one should be paying attention to us now, let's sneak back!"

Before Wright could finish, Dumbledore interrupted Wright's dark speech and glanced at Harry who was in a trance.

Seeing that Old Deng changed the subject so abruptly, Wright did not continue speaking.

He knew the old man and didn't want his students to be exposed to such sinister human hearts so early.

So, he directly pulled Harry, who had just come out of his brainstorming session, and followed Dumbledore.

The three people quietly returned to the rest area and didn't have to wait long!

Soon a staff member came to inform that the trial of Sirius Black was about to begin.

Led by the staff, Wright and Harry walked to the spectator seats of the trial.

Fudge was wearing a neat black robe and sitting on the high judgement platform, with an extremely serious expression on his fat face.

There was a wizard sitting on each side of the judgment seat, and the stepped viewing platforms on both sides were also filled with wizards.

They all wore the same uniforms with different badges on their chests, indicating their different identities.

In the middle of the venue, Sirius and Peter sat on two chained seats respectively.

Both his hands and feet were tightly bound, unable to move freely.

Old Mrs. Peter was standing next to Pettigrew! Dumbledore was standing next to Sirius.

Sirius looked much cleaner after being dressed up, but he still looked extremely thin.

Pettigrew's condition was very abnormal, his eyes were lifeless and his expression was dull.

"Oh!"

With the bang of Fudge's gavel, the trial officially began!

The review process was quick, and as Dumbledore said, they were just here to take a look.

When facing Dumbledore's questioning, Pettigrew did not hesitate or pause at all, obviously he had drunk the truth serum.

But Mrs. Peter did not dare to point this out, and did not even dare to ask Dumbledore back.

He could only tightly hold a shining golden badge and cry and beg the judges around him.

Wright, who was standing in the audience, looked at the old woman crying with deep eyes and murmured:

"This trial was unfair from the beginning."

"When Dumbledore mobilized his connections and in front of many witnesses, Pettigrew admitted his identity."

"The outcome of this trial is set, and no one can change it."

"This is reality, and it's also...dirty politics!"

Wright looked at Dumbledore with gloomy eyes, and then he reacted with a start:

"Hey! That's not right! How can it make me sound like a villain, using power and connections to oppress other orphans and widows?"

"I am a partner of justice. The protagonist is right next to me."

"Oh!"

Fudge's gavel will wake up the cranky Wright!

When he came to his senses, he saw Fudge holding a parchment and reciting:

"This court hereby declares that after review, Sirius Black is found not guilty and is released on the spot.

"It is time for the verdict. Please start voting, judges."

Without a doubt, all the judges present raised their hands to indicate that the resolution was passed.

Then, amid Mrs. Peter's continued crying, Fudge continued:

"As for Peter Pettigrew! We will strip him of his Order of Merlin, Second Class."

"And because Peter Pettigrew committed serious crimes such as murdering thirteen Muggles and exposing the wizarding world..."

"And he framed it on Sirius Black and caused him to suffer injustice."

"Accordingly, this court orders Peter Pettigrew to be imprisoned in Azkaban for life."

"If you have any objection to this ruling, please raise your hand to object."

There was no other voice of objection except Mrs. Peter's continuous crying.

Seeing this, Fudge stole a glance at Dumbledore, who looked expressionless below. He then raised the gavel and slammed it hard, indicating that the verdict was passed and the trial was over.
