Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 281: Trial (Part 2)
"The focus of this trial should only be on whether I slandered my student-Draco Malfoy. Others can be said to be trivial. After the proof, of course it can be possible for me. The evidence of the crime may even have a certain impact on sentencing, but if the slander is said to be unfounded, it can be said to be nonsense." Dumbledore first defended himself.
"As for the evidence, I actually showed it quite clearly at the award ceremony at the time. The personal and physical evidence was very clear and had a strong effect. At the time, we still used a way of exhortation. He turned his head and gave up resistance, but he didn't expect that it was his first attack in exchange." Dumbledore shook his head and said helplessly.
"Of course, this is just my side of the word. There were many faculty, staff and students present at the time. I think everyone with a clear eye is divided between true and false. Today, for this trial, I once again invited the witnesses who appeared last time. With a few additional witnesses, I strengthened the persuasiveness of my testimony." Dumbledore explained his position and opinions in an orderly manner.
"Mr. Crouch first, please allow him to testify for me." He put his fingertips together and said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Dumbledore, please forgive me for interrupting your speech. According to the evidence provided by Mr. Lucius and some previous statements by the defendant himself, Mr. Crouch has been tortured to a certain extent before, which has led to sane Unclear, so the credibility of his testimony is open to question." Burns interrupted Dumbledore's words.
"Oh? Really." Dumbledore glanced at Lucius who was sitting in the dock at this moment, his blue eyes flashed, but he didn't show any more. Things out.
"Then I hope Professor McGonagall will come up to testify for me." Dumbledore nodded and cleared his throat.
"Ok, grant your request."
Then Professor McGonagall wore a simple lady's black robe and walked from a short distance behind Dumbledore to a place parallel to him.
"Dumbledore seldom intervened in student discipline issues when he was in school, saying that his partiality is purely something out of nothing. It is better to say that he is very tolerant to all students and is willing to give them more opportunities if It's a kind of partiality to say this." Professor McGonagall explained the facts unsmilingly. After speaking, he pressed his lips tightly, waiting for the judgment of the others.
The members of the jury began to whisper. Most of the members nodded in approval, seeming to agree with her.
"Next is the potions professor at Hogwarts, Mr. Snape."
Snape walked slowly from behind Dumbledore, wearing a black robe against his greasy black hair, taking the place of Professor McGonagall.
Snape glanced at the fifty or so jury members in front of him with his sullen gaze, and then said in a flat and straightforward tone: "As a potions professor, I don't think I have done anything illegal. The Veritaserum used above are only medicines prepared for identification by the seventh-year-old students. As we all know, the components of the veritaserum potion formula are strictly controlled, and the way I obtain them is also a formal channel. I believe There is also a record in the registration record of the Ministry of Magic. If there is any mistake in the whole incident, maybe it is to use this medicine to "threat" a few disobedient students, so that they know how to respect the teacher."
"Which student is it." The mother toad's voice rang, looking very curious, even if it had nothing to do with the whole trial.
"Harry Potter." Snape showed a malicious smile. It seemed a good choice if Harry Potter, who had already returned to Petunia's house, could be pulled over for a trial.
Of course, he doesn't seem to know, if he does what he wants, the boy might be happy.
The jury began to whisper, the name of the savior is still very influential.
"Everyone, be quiet," Burns said solemnly, and then the noisy courthouse finally calmed down.
She then flipped through the file in front of her, which proved that Snape's statement was true. He bought the medicinal materials from the Slug Giggs store in Diagon Alley, and these are indeed remarks.
"As for the use of Veritaserum, I don't know, maybe you can ask the next witness." Snape said, looking back at Moody.
The old Auror was shaking his prosthetic leg, rubbing it against the floor, making a harsh noise.
"Mr. Alastor Moody, please come forward and give your testimony." Bones nodded.
Just as Moody got up and was about to drag his body and walked to the front to give his testimony, a tall man in a plain wizard robe stumbled into the courtroom, and the dark door was opened. , The light from outside poured into the dark room, and many people squinted their eyes subconsciously.
Except for Moody, his magic eye was unaffected, and it was still spinning vigorously in his eye sockets, looking at his eyes.
The man ran to Dumbledore, who hadn't gotten from the accused position, with a look of horror, and was stopped by several people.
"There are many obstacles!" Several wizards recite the spells one after another.
He tripped heavily.
"Wycliffe? What are you doing? We are in court now!" Burns said with a calm face. It was obvious that she recognized the colleague in front of her.
"Ah, Azkaban was broken by...by that person!" The man struggled to stand up and said tremblingly.
Dumbledore's eyebrows twitched sharply, then he calmed down instantly, and immediately looked at Lucius above the accuser's seat.
Lucius in the dock tried his best not to show any abnormality, and calmly looked ahead~IndoMTL.com~ and Dumbledore’s penetrating blue eyes once again did not shy away. Looked at each other.
The jury seemed to explode at once, and most of them showed a frightened expression, mixed with a little dazed and at a loss.
"What's the situation now?" Dumbledore gave up looking at Lucius and hurriedly asked the man.
And the man suddenly became incoherent, became stuttered, and seemed to be confused about how to start.
"Everyone, please forgive me, this old man, for taking the first step. I will accept the outcome of the trial no matter what." Dumbledore got up when the inquiry was ineffective, and bowed slightly to the more than fifty jury members. .
Then the old man's body gradually disappeared under the faint candlelight, and finally disappeared.
The old man's every move appears to be resolute.
Apparition!
The restrictions on movement magic within the Ministry of Magic seemed completely ineffective to him.
