Hogwarts Shippuden - Chapter 504
“So, what made Albus Dumbledore like you so much?”
Faced with Amelia Burns’ question, Harry was stunned for a few seconds before squeezing an answer out of his throat, “I don’t know, ma’am.”
Although it was a serious trial, the question of the woman in front of him made Harry start to think differently.
Did this Ms. Burns have any previous emotional connection with Professor Dumbledore that led her to ask such a question on such an occasion.
Snape was also confused.
The fact that the Director of Burns did not play cards according to the routine made Dumbledore’s defense that had been prepared in advance, completely useless.
“So…” Kyle folded his fingers and put his hand on the table, “Why did you cast that blasting spell on July 16th?”
Before Harry could answer, Kyle continued, “Oh, that was just an accident, wasn’t it?”
His tone was full of jokes, “Then how do you explain this?”
Kyle picked up the wand that Harry had placed on the table, then connected his wand to Harry’s, and cast a Flashback Charm on it.
A dazzling red light belonging to a Blasting Charm emerged from where the two wands met.
“This is a specially improved and quite clever blasting spell, and it is impossible for a wizard to release such high-level magic in an accidental situation.”
“That’s to fend off enemy attacks,” Harry argued, “otherwise why would I do it on purpose?”
“Treading the Stars”
Kyle shrugged, “Perhaps to intimidate your uncle’s family?”
“As far as I know, your uncle’s family is very unfriendly to you. Maybe you want to get revenge on them?”
Harry exclaimed in exasperation, “I didn’t!”
He had thought secretly in his heart before that when he learned some powerful magic, he would use magic to trick his uncle’s family.
Yes, tease, not revenge or even kill.
For example, like Hagrid at the time, he used a shape-shifting spell to make his cousin Dali grow a pig’s tail.
After all, the Vernons are so nasty, but they don’t deserve to die.
But he just thought about it and never put it into action.
After all, the Vernon family, no matter how nasty, raised him to the age of eleven without receiving any child support.
Kyle’s thick eyebrows were raised high, and the monocle on her face seemed to be about to slide down, “You dare to say that you never had any dark thoughts about your uncle’s family?”
He turned his head and looked to the side, who had been standing there silently since the beginning of the trial, acting as the subordinate of the trial recorder.
“Perhaps we can request a Veritaserum potion from the Ministry for interrogation.”
Harry’s expression was a little frightened, and he couldn’t deny that he had had some dark thoughts about the Vernons.
Once they really used the Veritaserum Potion on themselves, he absolutely couldn’t deny it.
Snape’s face was also a little ugly.
His defender, who was in danger of taking office, had no time to prepare well, and could only defend Harry according to the defense that Dumbledore had prepared earlier.
But now Harry is facing a situation that is completely beyond his ability to solve it.
Looking at the extremely ugly faces of Harry and Snape, Kyle laughed in his heart like a fox who only stole a chicken.
“Maybe we don’t need Veritaserum, the expressions of the two of them have said everything.”
Kyle stood up, “Mr. Potter cast a blasting spell in a Muggle-intensive place knowing that he was not yet seventeen years old and was not allowed to use magic outside of school.”
“Such conduct violates paragraph 3 of the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act 1875 and Article 13 of the International Confederation of Magicians Secrecy Act.”
“I now announce, in the name of the Director of the Division of Enforcement of Magical Laws, that the defendant, Harry James Potter, has been sentenced to death.”
Kyle waved his hand casually, motioning for the other two interrogators in the office to take Harry out.
“Immediately, I will personally inform Minister Fudge.”
Both Harry and Snape were dumbfounded, why were they suddenly executed?
Especially Harry, who suddenly burst into tears because his fragile inner defense was broken by the sentence of death.
He doesn’t want to die yet, he’s not yet an adult, he’s just gotten his wife, he hasn’t had time to get the first drop of blood, he hasn’t had time to enjoy life…
The two interrogators in the office were also a little confused.
“Director Burns, the Ministry of Magic has long abolished the death penalty…”
Kyle’s hand reluctantly covered his forehead. He is not the real Burns, so he doesn’t know anything about the nonsense laws and regulations formulated by the Ministry of Magic.
You know, his last name is Grindelwald.
In the wizarding world, the surname Grindelwald basically represents an outlaw.
As a true Grindelwald, does he still need to take into account the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Magic?
Not at all.
Only those who don’t have big enough fists need to study the laws of the Ministry of Magic and think about how to take advantage of them when they do something out of the ordinary.
Kyle glared at the interrogator who was speaking with sharp eyes.
“Then let the Dementors give him a kiss, whatever it takes to keep the prisoner Harry Potter from seeing the sun the next day.”
This stupid interrogator looks like a newcomer and has limited abilities, so he can’t even handle this trivial matter.
If Kyle is the real Burns, he will definitely wear small shoes for this person in the future work.
The two interrogators seemed to want to rescue Harry Potter, who was known as the savior of the wizarding world, and did not act according to Kyle’s words immediately.
And Snape stood up immediately, and protected Harry, who had been sentenced to death, behind him.
He nearly pulled out his wand and confronted Kyle.
“Ms. Burns, as far as I know, even if Potter violated the two spells above, the most he could do was get his wand broken and be expelled from Hogwarts.”
At this time, Dumbledore’s defense finally came in a little bit.
The two punishments Snape mentioned were what Dumbledore mentioned in his defense.
Kyle narrowed his eyes tightly, the edge of the monocle sinking into the flesh, “Are you teaching me to do things?”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
At this moment, the door of the director’s office was knocked on again.
The urging knock on the door rang three times, and before the interrogator came to open the door, the office door was violently opened.
Fudge, who was wearing a Wizengamore robe, brought a mother toad in the same couple’s outfit, and Percy, a traitor from Wesley’s house, broke in angrily.
“Director Burns, haven’t you been notified that the time and place of the interrogation have changed?”
He didn’t notice the tense atmosphere in the room at all.
“Maybe I didn’t receive it. Who would pay attention to the barking of wild dogs on the roadside, right, Minister Fudge?” Kyle’s tone revealed a strong sarcasm.
Hearing this, Percy immediately blushed behind Fudge, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.
With this sarcastic remark, Borns almost reported his ID number and scolded him directly.
Fudge’s face darkened immediately, “Director Burns, what you said is a bit too much.”
Kyle shrugged his shoulders, looking like a noncommittal hooligan.
It’s just that he is wearing the appearance of Burns now, how strange it looks like.
He glanced around and saw that Harry and Snape, the parties to the case, happened to be in the office.
“It just so happens that both of you, Mr. Potter and Mr. Snape, are here.”
Fudge resisted his anger at Burns, “Now please come with me to the tenth courtroom. Only the final verdict after the trial of the Wizengamore Court will have legal effect.”
In other words, everything that Burns does here is declared null and void.
Hearing Fudge’s words, Harry, who was on trial, and Snape, who was defending him, both looked relieved.
At this moment, they actually regarded Fudge as their savior.
