Chapter 598 Malfoy’s Asylum Request

Old Barty's voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of every senior official of the Ministry of Magic.

Except for Scrimgeour, everyone looked at Old Barty with dumbfounded eyes, as if it was unbelievable that Old Barty would give such a proposal.

You know, both ordinary people in Britain and the magical world have already abolished the so-called death penalty.

As early as 1969, the two Houses of Parliament in the UK reached an agreement to abolish the death penalty. In fact, the last execution of a prisoner in the UK was in 1964, and the use of the death penalty was stopped in 1965.

In the British magical world, wizards tacitly chose to use dementors to guard Azkaban Prison, and replaced the death penalty that should have been with Azkaban Prison with life imprisonment.

In the eyes of wizards at the time, being locked up in Azkaban Prison for a lifetime, with Dementors extracting happy emotions without limit, leaving only sadness and despair, was undoubtedly a more terrifying and depressing punishment than the death penalty. Desperate.

But now, those damn dementors have turned against Voldemort, and Azkaban prison is no longer a deterrent to those dark wizards.

No matter which angle you look at it, it seems inevitable to restart the death penalty in the British wizarding world.

"Let's vote!"

Old Batty looked at everyone calmly and said so.

The addition of the death penalty was the result of discussions between Old Batty and Lynn, and the Rolle family would naturally fully support this decision.

Therefore, immediately after the voting began, nearly half of the wizards raised their hands in favor.

After considering the pros and cons, many of the remaining wizards chose to raise their hands in favor.

Old Batty's sudden proposal to add the death penalty really surprised them.

But after calming down, seriously thinking about the current situation of the British wizarding world, and analyzing Old Barty's words, they had to admit that what Old Barty said was right.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and the laws of the Ministry of Magic must also adapt to the social environment of the magical world.

When the voting ended, more than two-thirds of the wizards raised their hands in favor!

"Very good," Old Batty said calmly, "The vote passes!"

After the vote to add the death penalty was passed, there was no suspense about the restart of the death penalty.

The next thing that these senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and members of the Wizengamot need to discuss is the sentencing of the death penalty and the instruments needed for executions.

These matters cannot be discussed in one meeting. Until the end of the meeting, there are only two points that everyone can agree on.

First, if a Death Eater who has joined the Death Eater camp and has the Dark Mark on his arm shows any resistance during the arrest, the Aurors will be allowed to kill him on the spot.

The captured Death Eater will be directly allowed to use Veritaserum. Once the Death Eater is found to have used the Unforgivable Curse to kill other wizards, he will be directly sentenced to death!

The second is the instrument for execution. The members of the Wizengamot decided to set the place of execution in the Death Hall of the Department of Mysteries, and use the curtains on the steps to execute the criminals.

In this way, the executioners do not need to personally recite incantations to kill criminals, and do not need to bear the psychological shadow caused by killing.

They only need to push the criminal lightly into the curtain and let him die silently.

…

Hogwarts Castle, Great Hall.

Countless owls flew in from outside the foyer, accurately dropping copies of the Daily Prophet into the hands of the little wizards.

These little wizards opened the Daily Prophet in their hands, and after seeing the content above, they all exclaimed.

"The Gringotts Robbery! Dumbledore and Rolle will personally end it!"

"The Horcruxes were destroyed?! The relics of the four giants of Hogwarts actually became the Horcruxes of the mysterious man!"

"The Department of Mysteries is attacked by You-Know-Who and Death Eaters!"

"The second fifteen-year-old devil-level wizard! What is her identity?!"

"Ministry of Magic's response to the attack on the Department of Mysteries!"

Five pieces of breaking news appeared on the pages of the Daily Prophet in succession, and the content of each piece of news made these little wizards feel incredible.

Soon, the Gringotts robbery and the war in the Department of Mysteries became the talk of these young wizards.

Many young wizards gathered together in twos and threes, discussing the reasons why Harry and others appeared in the Department of Mysteries, the conspiracy of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and how powerful Irina was after being promoted to a devil-level wizard. It was so powerful that it could cut Voldemort in half with one blow.

There were even many little lions from Gryffindor House who usually had a good relationship with Irina. They found Irina in person and curiously asked about what happened last night.

This Department of Mysteries battle caused an uproar in the British wizarding world, even compared to last year's Battle of Little Hangleton Village, it was even worse.

Not only Irina, but also Harry and others who participated in this battle also gained many enthusiastic fans, chasing them to learn about the process of the Department of Mysteries battle.

Ron was happy to hear this, and he happily boasted to the young wizards surrounding him about his achievements last night, including knocking down several Death Eaters with magic spells and so on.

But Harry was very bored.

If he hadn't believed the content in the dream and brought his friends to the Department of Mysteries, how could this war have happened? !

Perhaps in the eyes of those young wizards, their participation in the battle of the Department of Mysteries and knocking down many Death Eaters was something cool, great, glorious, and something they could be proud of.

But only those who have personally experienced this war will know how dangerous this war is and how close they are to death.

If members of the D.A. Army were injured or killed in this war, Harry would never forgive himself in his life.

Regardless of what happened in the Gryffindor common room, let us shift our perspective to the Slytherin dormitory at this time.

The Daily Prophet gave a list of those killed in the Department of Mysteries battle, and the names of Old Goyle and Old Crabbe were among them. After learning of their father's death, both Goyle and Crabbe left the Hall in horror. Gwarts Castle.

Now, only Linn and...Draco Malfoy were left in this dormitory.

In order to prevent his roommates from affecting his alchemy, Linn specially used alchemy to create a soundproof and opaque energy wall.

At this time, Draco Malfoy looked very confused. He clenched his hands tightly and stared at the energy wall that isolated Lynn's bed.

After a while, Draco slowly exhaled a breath. He seemed to have made some decision, and there was a certain look of determination in his eyes.

He stepped forward and gently knocked on the opaque energy wall.

He knew that Lin En on the other side of the energy wall could see what was going on here.

As early as five years ago, when Draco first entered school, his relationship with Linn was relatively harmonious, and Linn also allowed him to visit the other side of the energy wall and visit the alchemy equipment.

Therefore, he knew that the opacity of this energy wall was one-way, and Linn on the other side could clearly see everything happening here.

But over the next few years, his father was exposed as a Death Eater and stood against Lynn, and the relationship between them gradually became estranged.

Buzz~

A faint buzzing sound sounded, and the thick wall of energy disappeared.

Linn looked at Draco calmly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Looking at Lin En's dark red eyes, those dark red eyes seemed to always be so calm and unruffled.

Draco hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Lynn, I want to ask for asylum."
