The picture reflected by the Pensieve was a little blurry at first, but after being adjusted by the gray robe wizard, it soon became clear.

This is a typical room belonging to an old lady.

There was some faded floral wallpaper on the walls of the room, and there was the gurgling sound of the teapot boiling beside it.

An old cat walks slowly under the picture, and its coat looks a bit strange, which is probably due to the orange-red lights in the room.

In the center of the picture, there is a double-door glass window.

Unlike the slightly greasy wallpaper around it and the scratched wooden floor, the window looked exceptionally clean, apparently having been scrubbed frequently.

Through it, everyone can clearly see the street lit by street lights outside, and every now and then there will be one or two wild cats with green light reflected in their eyes passing by and barking at the room twice, as if asking the cat in the room what to do. Don't go play together.

Suddenly, a chubby boy appeared out of the window chasing Harry Potter, the fat boy obviously enjoyed the 'sports', laughing and throwing mud and pebbles at Harry from time to time , regardless of whether it will hurt the other party.

Harry and the fat boy ran across the frame, but soon they started running back at a faster pace.

Mrs. Figg didn't care at first, she must have seen such a scene many times.

But then, two cloaked, half-floating figures appeared behind Harry and the fat boy.

Looking at the strange creatures chasing Harry and the fat boy, the picture visibly shook twice, and there was Mrs. Figg's terrified moans.

Such moans also appeared in the courtroom.

This is what some MPs said.

Even just through the picture in the Pensieve, they could clearly feel the icy, rotten smell, and the horrible creaking sound they made as they devoured the air around them...

That's the horror of dementors, they always take away all joy.

"Call God Guard!"

Several old congressmen waved their wands, and under the silver light, several physical patron saints began to hover over the crowd, and then the coldness in the courtroom was dispelled.

At the same time, Harry in the picture also used the Patronus Charm.

However, compared to those old councilors, his Patronus Charm is obviously not proficient enough.

In the first two releases, he only produced some silver light and fog, and it was not until the third time that he chanted the spell, a silver-white herding deer rushed out of his wand and slammed out the dementors.

hum-

The picture came to an abrupt end, and the gray-robed wizard took out the silver filament from the Pensieve and put it in a small bottle for preservation.

At this time, Mrs. Figg was already curled up in a chair and shivering. Because this was a relationship she experienced personally, she was affected more severely than others.

The wizard in gray robes finished cleaning up the Pensieve, and then carefully helped Mrs. Figg out - not accidentally, Dumbledore was staring at him all the time.

The entire courtroom was silent, and after a long time Dumbledore said slowly:

"I think things should have been clear. At that time, a Dementor appeared in Little Whinging, and Harry Potter cast the Patronus Charm for self-defense purposes. This is an emergency escape."

Dumbledore's voice was like a signal. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the bench began to whisper.

"This, this is all fake!"

Fudge suddenly shouted, with an angry look on his face, he stood up with his hands on the table and said, "It's you! It's you who did the tricks! How could the Dementors appear in that place! You must have modified that Squib's memory! "

Dumbledore didn't speak, he just stood there quietly, with a smile on his face, as if mocking Fudge's anger.

Similar smiles also appeared on Link and many of the councillors around him.

What Fudge said is actually true. Dumbledore, as the master of Legilimency, does have the ability to modify other people's memories.

But Fudge couldn't prove at all whether Dumbledore had acted in his memory just now, which is why the Link's MPs were sure that they had won the moment they saw Dumbledore appear.

Victory and defeat have already been decided.

"Dumbledore's job is done, now, it's our turn to play."

Link whispered to old Batty with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

The latter smiled and nodded when he heard the words, and said loudly to Fudge:

"Too ugly, Connelly."

"Crouch! You don't have the right to say anything here!"

Fudge's expression was even more ugly, and old Barty continued without caring:

"As a member of the Council of Wizengamore, I feel I have the right to ask you to explain why those two dementors are in that place."

As soon as this remark came out, the councillors around Link and Barty began to agree, and even the councillors from the neutral faction cast a cold look at Fudge.

"As I said, it's all fake, and this witness is unconvincing!" said Fudge, feigning contempt, "The Dementor ran into a Muggle settlement and happened to meet a wizard. ? It's a very small possibility, not even that bloody traitor Bagman would bet!"

"You're absolutely right," old Barty snapped his fingers with a smile, "so we have every reason to think that those two Dementors were there not just by coincidence, but by someone who sent them there on purpose. of."

"Bang!" Fudge angrily smashed the table and said, "This is impossible! Every time the dementors go out, they will be strictly monitored. If there is a dementor in the Little Whingin area that night, we should have a record. of!"

"Then, if these two Dementors have recently received orders from someone outside the Ministry of Magic, that's not necessarily the case," said old Barty. "As far as I know, Headmaster Dumbledore has I reminded you months ago that Dementors can't be trusted and are easily betrayed, right?"

"Yeah, he did say that, but I have absolutely no reason to believe his nonsense!" Fudge said dancing, then turned to the surrounding councillors and explained, "Please believe me, Dementor Still strictly obeying our orders and staying in Azkaban properly."

"In this case, can I interpret your words as the reason why the two dementors appeared in the Little Whinging area on August 2nd was ordered by someone from the Ministry of Magic. And that person was ordering the dementors. After the failed attack on Harry Potter, all records were erased? After all, the Dementors still strictly obey the orders of the Ministry of Magic, that's what you said."

Link said suddenly.

There was no emotion in his voice, as if stating a cold truth.

As soon as he said this, almost all the members of the courtroom looked at him.

You must know that as someone who opened the back door and barely got admission, Link essentially had no right to speak.

Just because of his illegal speech just now, any member of the assembly has the right to force him out of the courtroom.

But the actual situation was that no one dared to do this at all, and everyone kept silent, just as they acquiesced to Link entering the courtroom and sat on the jury seat at the beginning.

Fudge was so angry that he was about to collapse.

At this moment, there was a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and his mouth even opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound.

Obviously, he couldn't answer this question at all.

Seeing this, the corners of Link's mouth slowly rose, and the surrounding old Barty and others also showed strange smiles.

Fudge had been successfully brought into the pit by them.

There are really only two options in front of Fudge now.

One is to admit that the two Dementors acted without authorization to attack Harry Potter.

And that's tantamount to acknowledging that the Ministry of Magic has lost control of the Dementors, as well as Fudge's own incompetence.

At the same time, this also proved that Dumbledore had previously mentioned about Voldemort's resurrection and would go to plot to seize control of the Dementors, thereby forcing the Ministry of Magic to take action on the resurrection of Voldemort, while further proving Fudge's incompetence. , and directly hit Fudge on the pillar of shame.

The second is a firm belief that the Ministry of Magic still retains absolute control over the Dementors.

This can well avoid the adverse reactions above, but it also leads to another more terrifying question.

That is, who sent the Dementors to attack Harry Potter?

As long as Fudge dared to choose the second option, Link would dare to lead the topic to the direction that Fudge was dissatisfied with Dumbledore and Harry Potter, so he deliberately used the Dementor attack to retaliate.

Fudge obviously knew this too, so he had been insisting that the witnesses brought by Dumbledore were not credible and that the memory video was fake.

It's a pity, as I said before, that Fudge couldn't prove that Dumbledore had manipulated Mrs Figg's memory at all.

Fudge can be said to be completely finished now!

Thinking of this, the breathing of many members around Link became heavier.

This victory will be a turning point in history, and they should be on the stage from now on!

"enough!"

At this moment, a majestic female voice broke the strange atmosphere of the scene.

"I want to remind you that the behavior of those two dementors is not the topic of this interrogation!" Burns stood up and said, "We are here to interrogate Harry Potter for his violation of the "Protection Against Underage Wizards". The Reasonably Binding Act and the International Wizarding Secrecy Act! Everything else needs to be investigated. Now, raise your hand in favor of the false accusation."

The courtroom suddenly quieted down. Most of the members of the Congress looked at Burns with doubts in their eyes, and there was even a vague anger in the eyes of Link and others.

Burns is clearly helping Fudge in this move.

But Borns had just fought Fudge before, so why did he do it now?

No one knows the answer to that question, just as no one can stop Burns from doing so.

Presiding over the trial is her power as head of the Magical Law Enforcement Division!

"I repeat, please raise your hand if you agree that the accusation is not established!"

Burns raised his voice and spoke again, and this time, one arm was slowly raised.

There is no doubt about the result. After this set of punches from Dumbledore, Link and others, most of the members of the neutral faction raised their hands.

Together with the members of the Link faction, the number of arms raised by these people has already exceeded half of the members of the audience.

"It seems that there is no need for the next round of voting." Burns said with a blank face, "Now, this court has pronounced that the charges against Harry Potter are not established!"

Burns packed his papers and hurried out of the courtroom.

Looking at her appearance, it seemed that she couldn't stay any longer.

"Great!"

Dumbledore said cheerfully, pulling out his wand and making the chintz armchair disappear, "Okay, I have to go. Have a nice day everyone."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Harry, just nodded to Link and hurriedly left the courtroom.

And on the other side.

Fudge sat slumped on the chair, as if he was relieved, but also seemed to be completely desperate.

Fortunately, there are still some people in the Fudge faction who need face. A witch who looks a bit like a toad came in small steps, and with the help of Percy, helped Fudge and left quickly.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, Link, Old Barty and the others sneered again and again.

Although they were not able to kill Fudge on the spot due to Burns' sudden disruption, Fudge's current situation is not much different from being hacked to death.

Fudge's performance today is really ugly, which directly caused his prestige in Wizengamot and even the entire Ministry of Magic to plummet. I'm afraid not many people are willing to follow him sincerely in the future.

What's more, Link and Old Barty had already anticipated a similar situation, and they still have back moves!

"I don't need to say more about the next thing, right?"

Link said with a sneer.

Hearing that, Old Barty also smiled and said:

"Of course, you can just go home and rest. We have convened all the media in the country, including the Daily Prophet and Owl Weekly, to prepare for a press conference. At the meeting, I will definitely give my attention to Our friends in the media describe Minister Fudge's performance today and ask Minister Fudge to answer the questions that he didn't have time to answer today."

After Old Barty finished speaking, the congressmen behind him also showed eager expressions.

Of course, the back-up against Fudge will not be as simple as a press conference.

Next, the councillors who were drawn by the old Batty would exert their energy and begin to besiege Fudge.

If nothing else, Fudge must not last long.

After all, it is normal for people to take tea and cool off, borrow umbrellas on sunny days and collect umbrellas on rainy days.

With Fudge's current state, not many people will continue to support him.

"That's fine, it's up to you."

Link said as he walked off the field. He couldn't leave if he didn't hurry up. Many members of the neutral faction were very interested in him, and they had already started to come over to greet him. High-speed text hand beat the strongest badger at Hogwarts chapter list
