Chapter 464 Welcome to the Order of the Phoenix

The trial was over, and the members of the Wizengamot stood up, chatting about something while collecting the documents in front of them.

Harry also stood up, but he did not feel the slightest joy of having overcome the difficulties. Instead, he looked at Dumbledore with worry in his eyes.

He never thought that a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore could be expelled from the Wizengamot simply because everything had been peaceful for the past month.

Are these people crazy? Aren't they afraid that Dumbledore will no longer care about them after You-Know-Who shows up?

Perhaps, they are not afraid, because Dumbledore will never turn a blind eye to the mysterious man.

As expected...people cannot be too kind. Those who are too kind will be bullied.

To be honest, if Harry had known this would be the result, he would rather admit his mistake to Fudge than let Headmaster Dumbledore suffer such an injustice.

"Headmaster..." Harry opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment.

"Let's go, Harry." Dumbledore smiled calmly, as if he was not affected at all. Then he nodded to Sebastian who came over, and walked out of the tenth interrogation room together.

As soon as they went out, they saw Mr. Weasley, who looked pale and anxious.

"Merlin! I never thought they would put Harry on trial for a simple off-campus spell. This world has gone so crazy that I don't recognize it anymore. Tell me what the result is."

"It went very smoothly. All charges against Harry were not established," Dumbledore smiled. "Arthur, you should have seen how Harry silenced the judge."

"That's great!" Mr. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief. "Of course, they shouldn't find you guilty, Harry. You were acting in self-defense anyway, and you have witnesses."

"I need to tell Molly the good news as soon as possible. She has also been concerned about the progress of the matter."

"Mr. Weasley," Harry endured and endured, but in the end he couldn't help but stand up for Dumbledore, "They voted to revoke Headmaster Dumbledore's title as Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot and expelled him from the Wizengamot."

Mr. Weasley was stunned. He looked at Dumbledore with wide eyes and disbelief, trying to verify the truth of the matter.

After seeing Dumbledore nod in confirmation, he shouted in surprise: "This is impossible, how could they do this? This is ridiculous!"

"It's okay, Arthur," Dumbledore said softly, "It's not a big deal. I've been in the Wizengamot for a long time. It's time to make room for the newcomers."

"This way, I can focus more on more important things."

They took the elevator to Mr. Weasley's office, where Harry described in detail the entire process of today's trial, which made Mr. Weasley cheer and get angry at times.

Sebastian watched the three people chatting with a smile, and recalled today's trial process.

To be honest, he was quite surprised that Fudge had waited until now to expel Dumbledore from the Wizengamot. You know, in the original book, this happened at the beginning of the summer vacation.

However, Fudge's plan was indeed effective. After a month of calm and with solid evidence, those who originally supported Dumbledore began to think that Dumbledore was a liar who incited terror. So in the voting session just now, Fudge easily won more than half of the votes in favor.

"Principal," Sebastian began, "the representative of the International Confederation of Wizards in the UK must be a member of the Wizengamot. If you lose this identity, you will definitely lose your position as the president of the International Confederation of Wizards."

Is there such a consequence?

Harry took a deep breath, unable to accept this reality. He felt that the price Dumbledore paid was too high.

"It doesn't matter," Dumbledore waved his hand. "The International Confederation of Wizards is full of talented people. Babajide Akinbade, the headmaster of Uagadou, is very capable as the vice-president. He will not allow any trouble to happen there. After the president is re-elected in March next year, everything will be back on track."

This is indeed the case. In the original book, after Dumbledore was removed from the position of President of the Federation, Akinbade was successfully elected as the next President.

"Principal, it's really not a big deal to remove the president. Anyway, we didn't expect wizards from other countries to provide us with humanitarian assistance in the matter of the You-Know-Who. After all, no one knows the pain until it happens to them."

Sebastian tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat.

"However, Fudge will definitely make a big fuss about this matter, for example, claiming that you are too old and confused. You are no longer able to handle government affairs, so you were dismissed. After all, ordinary people don't know the rules here. This will make your reputation even worse."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care about a little reputation at all. I'm just worried..." Dumbledore paused slightly, a trace of worry on his brow.

"Yaxley is Voldemort's subordinate. All the evidence today shows that the Dementors have completely surrendered to him. Therefore, the giant must succeed..."

Thinking that Harry was not a member of the Order of the Phoenix and was not yet ready to be exposed to such secrets, Dumbledore stopped what he was about to say.

As if he saw Dumbledore's concerns, Sebastian smiled softly: "Principal, how do you think Harry performed today?"

"He was calm, logical, and fluent in his responses. There was nothing to complain about."

"This was prepared by Harry himself. He spent a long time preparing for today's trial. I just watched the whole process and didn't give any guidance." Sebastian's praise made Harry's heart move suddenly.

Could it be that Professor Swann was now preparing to nominate himself into the Order of the Phoenix?

Not to Harry's disappointment, Sebastian's next words completely stirred him up.

"Headmaster, whether it was dealing with the mysterious man or today's trial, Harry's performance has proven that he is a mature warrior, so I formally recommend Harry Potter to join the Order of the Phoenix."

"This..." Mr. Weasley couldn't help but say, "Sebastian, isn't Harry still a little young?"

"Age should not be a reason to limit Harry," Sebastian smiled gently at Mr. Weasley, "Fighting the You-Know-Who is Harry's inevitable fate in this life. His determination to fight is no less than anyone else."

"In addition, Harry's abilities are excellent, and he has mastered Occlumency perfectly, so there is absolutely no problem in having him join the Order of the Phoenix."

Harry was so excited that he said nothing but stared at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked at Harry calmly, as if examining him silently.

The young man's eyes were firm and he didn't flinch at all, which made him very satisfied. His performance had indeed met the requirements for entering the Order of the Phoenix. Thinking of his lack of progress with Slughorn, Dumbledore smiled slightly.

"Harry, welcome to the Order of the Phoenix. Don't rush back to Swann Manor. Come with me to meet someone first. I have a task for you to do."

As he spoke, he looked at Sebastian and took out a few letters from his arms.

"Sebastian, this is a list of books for the children. Minerva asked me to bring it here. Please give it to them for me."
