The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 609: Public Execution

Both Harry and Hermione chose to keep their mouths shut.

Not only that, but they also forced Ron, a big mouth, to swear not to reveal anything about it.

Because they know very well what kind of impact it will cause if this matter is spread.

Although there is no reliable evidence for the French revenge, in many cases, such things as evidence are dispensable.

At that time, the angry students will not care about evidence or not.

Together they would start a boycott of Gabriel.

Even bullying.

This has happened too many times at Hogwarts.

Neville has been the victim of similar incidents before.

After all this is done, the dinner party is almost over.

This time Dumbledore did not speak again, because he had never returned since he left the auditorium with Emily and Newland.

In the end, Professor McGonagall could only get up and perform Dumbledore's work - announcing that everyone can return to the dormitory to rest.

"I dare say that Dumbledore must have gone to support Link. The problem on their side may be very difficult! Maybe they may be besieged by Death Eaters!"

Until lying on their respective beds, Ron was still talking endlessly.

His brows were already knit together, looking extremely anxious.

It was as if he was the one who was really fighting against the Death Eaters and caught in a tight siege.

Honestly, the way he talks is contagious.

At least the rest of the roommates in the dormitory were so excited by him that they were full of sorrow, wishing they could just put on their clothes and go to support Link.

This is their responsibility as D.A. members!

But Harry was very helpless when he saw this.

He knew very well that this was Ron's illness.

He shook his head, and continued to concentrate on writing the letter to be sent to Sirius.

It was an agreement between him and Sirius to contact each other at least every other week.

Originally, this connection could be easily resolved through the double-sided mirror.

But helplessly, with Dumbledore's previous announcement in the auditorium, Dumbledore has now officially entered a state of strict control similar to the Ministry of Magic's war state.

In this state, students are not allowed to use any means of communication other than paper letters.

"call--"

As the last letter was written, Harry let out a long breath.

He put the letter by the bed, ready to send it the next day, and then cast a spell on himself to close his ears, and quickly closed his eyes regardless of Ron and the others who were still making noise around him.

Accompanied by the rolling drowsiness, Harry fell into a deep sleep.

...

Bang——

The next day, as the first ray of sunlight shone into the tower where the Gryffindor lounge was located, Harry and Ron's bedroom door was kicked open.

"Harry! Ron! Get up! Something is wrong!"

Hermione rushed in through the kicked open door, screaming and threw the quilt off Harry and Ron.

This sudden turn of events startled both Harry and Ron.

The two of them looked at everything in front of them sleepily, and when they really realized what happened, they covered their bodies with the only remaining pillow in a panic.

"Damn! Hermione! You should go to Miss Victoria to learn how to be polite. This is a boys' dormitory, and you are a girl! Oh my god! I'll definitely go back to Professor McGonagall to sue! Why can't boys Go into the girls' dormitory, and girls can just barge in? It's not fair!"

Ron muttered, but he didn't notice when he spoke.

Ever since he mentioned Emily, Hermione's eyes on him had become increasingly hostile.

Finally, with Hermione's punch, Ron's thoughts turned into mournful wailing.

At the same time, Harry was nestling in the corner of the bed with his pillow in his arms, with a look of loss and hesitation on his face.

The reason why he went to bed so early last night,

In order to be able to relive the dream of the day before yesterday.

The feeling of being wrapped in warmth, like being in the arms of a mother, is really wonderful.

So much so that Harry felt that he was a little addicted.

However, the reality is disappointing.

Last night, he had no dreams.

It should have been a good night's sleep, but at this moment Harry was extremely disappointed.

"Hey! Harry, it's time for you to wake up, I have a big news to tell you!"

Hermione finished beating Ron, panting and talking to Harry again.

Hearing this, Harry also gradually came out of his depressed mood.

He was still curled up at the corner of the bed, and said in a weak voice:

"what news?"

Hermione shook her head, threw a copy of "Daily Prophet" in front of him and said:

"See for yourself. I hope you can sit still after watching it."

Harry was unimpressed.

He now feels weak all over his body.

He even refused to get up to pick up the "Daily Prophet" which was close at hand, so he stretched his neck and looked at the newspaper.

But the next moment, a trace of surprise flashed across his expressionless face.

Because on the page of this "Daily Prophet", a huge headline was written in all black bold fonts - "Hogwarts Express and Diagon Alley Encountered Terrorist Attack!" Many Aurors sacrificed! "

Harry rubbed his eyes in disbelief, wondering if he had made a mistake.

But Ron, who was also looking at the newspaper next to him, jumped up and said excitedly:

"I told you a long time ago that the Hogwarts Express was definitely not the only one that was attacked! Look, I was right!"

"Are you happy?"

Hermione said with a cold face, and said with a more serious tone, "Many people died because of this attack!"

"No no... no, I'm not, I don't, I just... just..."

Ron's expression froze, and he waved his hands in fear.

It can be seen that Hermione ignored him, and Harry turned his head and said solemnly:

"Keep reading, Harry, and... be prepared."

What does it mean?

Could it be that the loss was heavy?

Harry frowned and continued to look under the title.

And then what caught his eyes was a small string of fonts that were also enlarged and bold:

At about 16:57 yesterday, the Hogwarts Express train leaving King's Cross Station in central London's King's Cross area encountered a terrorist attack composed of Death Eaters and Dementors and was forced to stop at the northern suburbs of Manchester. Then, the train mechanism was activated, and under the leadership of one of the tripartite committee members of the Ministry of Magic, Commissioner Link Foley, the student group on the train launched self-defense. Death Eaters and Dementors, all destroyed.

At about 18:05 on the same day, a terrorist attack by Death Eaters also occurred in Diagon Alley. The attack was then suppressed by counterattacks by Auror forces and Commissioner Link Foley.

According to statistics, the attack directly or indirectly resulted in the death of 7 Aurors, minor injuries to 19 Aurors, and economic losses as high as 1,400 Galleons.

As of this writing, all those directly involved in the attack have been captured and executed in Diagon Alley Square after being tried by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement!

The following is the execution list:

…………

"Execute..."

Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Harry stammered and murmured.

"Oh, that's exactly what you think."

Hermione sighed, helping Harry turn the page as she spoke.

I saw that the next five pages of the entire newspaper were densely packed with names.

Under each name, there are also two photos, one is the executed person's life, and the other is the death state after the execution.

Harry felt suffocated.

A tingling sensation was spreading crazily on his scalp, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Is this a full hundreds of lives?

Just like that, they were executed centrally?

I'm afraid that in the entire history of wizards, such a large-scale execution announced to the world is extremely rare, right?

"This newspaper was urgently released by the Ministry of Magic through the "Daily Prophet" in the early hours of yesterday, and just now, the "Daily Prophet" published another report on the follow-up situation. And what is written on it is just That's the bad news I want to say!"

Hermione said with a complicated expression, and at the same time put another newspaper in front of Harry.

"latest news! The man behind the attack has been arrested! "

At about 02:41 today, the Tripartite Committee of the Ministry of Magic held an emergency press conference and announced the findings of the attack on the meeting.

A total of eight suspects who planned and instigated the attack have now been arrested.

According to the investigation, the eight people were not Death Eaters, but were all from France, and were employed by a professor named Norton Tittart at the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

One of the suspects revealed that this was a revenge operation specifically aimed at Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic of the United States.

Their employer, Norton Tittart, firmly believed that the previous attack on the Beauxbaton School of Magic had something to do with the Chinese side, so he summoned them and wanted to impose the same punishment on the Chinese magic community.

After joint deliberation, the Tripartite Committee of the Chinese Ministry of Magic and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement have decided to hold the French Ministry of Magic accountable for this matter and lodge a protest with the International Federation of Wizards.

Among the eight people who participated in planning the attack this time, except for one who was temporarily detained as a witness, the remaining seven people will be publicly executed at the central square of Diagon Alley at 07:00 this morning!

...

Seeing this, Harry didn't have time to think about it, and immediately pulled his eyes away from the newspaper, and then turned to the alarm clock on the bedside table.

The pointer on it clearly pointed to half past seven.

"They acted very quickly. The newspaper was published in less than half an hour after the execution, and distributed to the entire Ministry of Magic of the country through the owl post office. Now, there is already a lot of noise outside!"

Hermione spoke with a somewhat depressed expression.

And Harry quickly turned the page of the newspaper again.

I saw a huge magic photo clearly printed on the back of the newspaper.

There are seven people on it who are being pushed onto a temporary high platform in Diagon Alley Square by a group of solemn-looking executioners wearing hoods, and are hung on ropes.

It is worth mentioning that it is different from the general criminals executed by hanging.

None of the seven people were covered with black cloth bags or other props that could be used to cover their faces.

Therefore, when the winch was pulled up, Harry could clearly see their suffocated and grim and gray faces.

"vomit--"

Harry threw away the newspaper and lay on the edge of the bed retching.

The scene in front of me was too shocking.

Any sane person would instinctively feel physical discomfort watching this scene.

This is the human instinct of empathy at work.

However, Ron stepped forward and snatched the newspaper like a cheetah, standing on the ground in messy pajamas, waving the newspaper and cheering:

"Great! This is really great! Killing is so good!"

Harry's other two roommates also gathered around Ron, scrambling for the newspaper, bursting into cheers from time to time.

Hermione frowned at this scene, and he said tremblingly:

"That's more than a hundred lives!"

Hearing this, Ron turned around in surprise and said:

"Yes, more than a hundred Death Eaters and French spies have been punished by law. Isn't this something that should be celebrated?"

"No, no, those criminals were punished, of course it is worth celebrating." Hermione said tremblingly, "But shouldn't they be executed directly? From the perspective of time, these people have never had a complete trial, which is even more It's like being judged by someone after skipping the trial!"

The corner of Ron's mouth rose slightly, and he sneered:

"Hermione, in your opinion, this group of people should be imprisoned in Azkaban again? But then? Let them escape from prison again? Or, like that time more than ten years ago, wait Their families are going to pay a large bribe so that they will be acquitted and then come out to harm others? How can they do this to the Aurors who died in this conflict?"

Hermione fell silent.

Her mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything in the end.

Because Ron was right.

Judging from past history, if the group of Death Eaters were kept to go through a long trial, many of them would surely escape the trial.

In this way, it will only be the society that will be hurt in the end.

But, that was more than a hundred people, and they were simply executed like this?

And seven of them were publicly hanged!

Harry on the side also had the same idea as Hermione.

Having witnessed his mother being killed by Voldemort since he was a child, he has a clearer understanding of death, and also understands that death is a kind of ultimate despair!

Therefore, although he also felt that the execution of the group of Death Eaters was a great joy, but he couldn't be as excited as Ron and others.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and was ready to be a peacemaker like in the past, and asked to help Ron and Hermione reconcile.

But at this moment Hermione shook her head at him.

Her expression was a bit complicated, and she made a dry voice as her dry and cracked lips squirmed:

"There's no need to say anything more, Harry, almost everyone in Hogwarts is in this state now. The bad news I'm talking about doesn't refer to this, but to Gabriel."

As soon as this remark came out, both Harry and Ron were taken aback.

Yes, it is foreseeable that with the spread of this report, the entire Hogwarts will fall into madness.

Will those guys who are so passionate and unable to vent their anger turn on Gabriel, a former student of Beauxbatons?

"Let's go! Let's protect that little girl!"

Ron sighed, waved his big hand and said excitedly.

This made the expressions of Harry, Hermione and others become weird.

In their view, this should not be something that Ron can say at all.

This guy is a typical representative of the hot-blooded, and it would be great if he didn't join in the fun and denounce Gabriel.

"It's really rare that you still have such a side."

Hermione said in a twisted tone.

Hearing this, Ron blushed a little, and couldn't help complaining:

"What do you think of me? That's an innocent little girl. She has nothing to do with this matter! Stop talking, let's go!"

As he spoke, Ron's face became more and more serious, until finally he couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed out of the bedroom directly.

Seeing this, Harry, Hermione and others also smiled at each other and followed.

...

at the same time.

Diagon Alley.

Along with the publication of the "Daily Prophet", wizards from almost the whole country gathered here.

They walked out of Diagon Alley and the fireplaces of various shops, then gathered on the street, and rushed towards the square.

During the whole process, no matter they were old, young or old, they were all silent, and everyone had an uneasy expression on their faces.

In fact, after the Second Wizarding War officially ended, they no longer had any hope for the Ministry of Magic.

Because they know very well that the high-ranking Ministry of Magic is not their Ministry of Magic.

Even though the Ministry of Magic showed an extremely strong will during the Second Wizarding War, those Aurors have always been on the front line of the war, helping to fight against the Death Eaters.

But is this really for the people?

I'm afraid it's not to maintain their own dominance, right?

This can be seen from their treatment of war criminals after the war.

Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, Igor Karkaroff...

Too many Death Eaters have escaped trial by being released for a variety of reasons.

Those members of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement sometimes even refuse to find a good reason, and just find a crude reason to let people go.

This is treating the people as fools!

But are the people really stupid?

of course not!

When Lucius Malfoy walked in the sunshine with his wife and children openly, everyone knew what was going on.

When the members of the Wizengamot Council began to embezzle the wealth of ancient families such as Black and Foley, everyone knew what was going on!

Everyone just dared not speak out.

But anger isn't going to go away!

When anger builds up to a certain level, the populace despairs of the Ministry of Magic.

Why is Fudge being cursed as the worst Minister of Magic ever?

Is it just because he loves vanity and issued a series of bad decrees in the later period of his administration?

And why Dumbledore refused to take over as Minister of Magic?

Is it just because of the fear of being a puppet of the Wizengamot Council and being manipulated?

of course not!

Another important reason for the collapse of Fudge's regime and Dumbledore's refusal to take over as the Minister of Magic is that the previous Minister of Magic left them with a mess.

A Ministry of Magic that has exhausted its credibility and is no longer trusted by the people.

Such a Ministry of Magic will collapse sooner or later.

Dumbledore saw the crisis clearly, so he rejected the invitation of the Wizengamot Council.

And Fudge didn't see it clearly, so it was unlucky.

But now, all this has changed.

News of yesterday's attack could not be contained.

The convenience of the means of communication possessed by wizards is far from being blocked by the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, as early as a few hours after the attack, relevant news could be said to have spread throughout most of the country's magic world.

At the same time, this once again set off the anger of the people.

Especially those parents who have children studying at Hogwarts.

How can you let them calm down when you know the virtues of the Ministry of Magic and you can foresee that this incident will probably be messed up again?

In their rage, they even wrote the roaring letter, and they were preparing to mail it to the Ministry of Magic and the headmaster's office at Hogwarts the next day.

However, an accident happened.

A new issue of the Daily Prophet was published in the middle of the night and detailed the location of the attack, casualties and losses.

The most outrageous thing is that those Death Eaters who participated in the attack were all executed?

And the following issue of the "Daily Prophet" even stated that the Ministry of Magic has investigated the cause of the whole incident, captured the black hands who planned this incident, and hanged them in Diagon Alley?

how can that be?

This is not the Ministry of Magic we are familiar with!

How could the Ministry of Magic have such efficiency? According to the normal procedure, shouldn't they have been investigating for a year and a half, and then let it go when the heat subsided.

Or just find a few scapegoats and put all the blame on them.

In the end, they were sentenced to life imprisonment, or directly said that they were controlled by the Imperius Curse when they committed a crime, and they were fined and released without charge?

Why did you directly announce that all the suspects had been arrested and executed this time?

"This must be fake!"

Countless parents and citizens roared like this after reading the two copies of the "Daily Prophet".

But in the end, most of them still put down the sealed and stamped roaring letter in their hands, and rushed to Diagon Alley.

Didn't they say that those people were publicly executed?

So, let's take a look!

boom boom boom—

Accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps, the crowd kept rushing forward.

They are getting closer and closer to the square, and their hearts are beating faster and faster!

"Gah—"

A huge raven was hovering over the crowd, shouting arrogantly, as if it was provocative, and it seemed to be leading the way for the crowd.

Many people's eyes couldn't help but gather on it.

Watching it flying nimbly in the air, watching it gradually go away, finally made a big bend, and landed on a wooden beam.

And under the beam, there were seven corpses hanging.

Dozens of fat ravens are lying on their bodies enjoying a big meal.

Accompanied by their pecking, the corpses kept shaking.

This scene is clearly engraved in everyone's eyes.

In an instant, all the apprehensive expressions on people's faces disappeared.

It was replaced by excitement and joy.

"Long live--"

I don't know who started it.

The crowd began to cheer like a tsunami.
