Even so, Umbridge still hasn't given up, since he has already stood up, it's useless to retract again, he can only try to make Lucius Malfoy and them come up with some compensation, if this can be done, it will be a great achievement for the Ministry of Magic.

If there is no such achievement, it will not only offend Minister Bagno in vain, but it is estimated that Fugi will be pulled out to block the gun, which Umbridge does not want to see.

You know, in order to climb to today's position, Umbridge has worked a lot, and the methods used are not very clean, and she has done some things that violate the law.

She also made some preparations for today's events.

"I have witnesses who can prove that Lucius. Malfoy appeared at the scene of the attack and destroyed a building in the Ministry of Magic with an explosion charm. ”

Thinking of the back hand he had prepared, Umbridge became calm again, and continued to speak in that shrill girlish voice.

As her words landed, the court hall immediately resounded with even more noisy discussions, and the voices of condemnation of Lucius Malfoy were endless.

And Dumbledore also looked at Zhang Jin, the warning in his eyes was extremely obvious, but obviously, he was going to be disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, but that's all I can do."

Zhang Jin could only express his helplessness to Dumbledore, and the Loyalty Charm on his hand also lit up with a faint light, which was enough for Dumbledore to realize the reason.

Of course, Zhang Jin didn't mean it, as long as he thought that if he didn't help Lucius, he would cause a weak reaction to the contract, but Zhang Jin only strengthened his reaction slightly.

"Is this the Loyalty Curse?"

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes to look more closely,

"When?"

"It's been before, and we agreed to help each other when we can."

Zhang Jin replied cautiously, and did not directly say that it was a contract that had just been made not long ago, and Dumbledore's question was obviously suspicious of something.

"Well, it looks like I'm not going to be able to stay out of it anymore as an old man." Dumbledore didn't say anything more, just looked quite emotional, "It's old, I hope there are still people who can believe an old man's nonsense." ”

Obviously, Dumbledore wasn't happy, he didn't like the feeling of things being out of control, and that was a clear warning.

At this time, Barty also finished questioning Umbridge's witness, and Zhang Jin didn't know whether Umbridge's witness was real or fake.

It's not impossible to make a fake with Umbridge's temperament.

However, the good thing is that the witness only said that he heard someone call the leading wizard Lucius at the scene of the attack in the pitch black, and did not see more specific content.

It can be seen that Umbridge's purpose is still to ask for a sum of compensation, or to Lucius Malfoy to provide them with a sum of gold Galleons.

"Mr. Interrogator, don't be so troublesome, I can prove that Lucius Malfoy is under the control of the Imperius Curse."

Despite this, Zhang Jin still stood up, Lucius's funds have already been partially used, and for the sake of future cooperation, it is better to save a little.

And if he doesn't stand up today, there will still be people who will force him to stand up, Karkaroff and the like still know Severus. Snape's.

And these people, after feeling that Voldemort died, wanted to report it to avoid punishment with a high probability.

"Who are you?" Barty Crouch also looked at it immediately, and it was obvious that whether Lucius was controlled or not was the key.

"I'm Hogwarts' new replacement. Severus of Slughorn teaching Potions class. Snape. ”

"I was asked by Professor Dumbledore to go undercover with the Mysteries, and I have seen them cast the Imperius and Heart Curses on Lucius Malfoy."

Zhang Jin said quickly, not worried about whether the wizards would be able to hear clearly.

Moreover, what he said about casting the Mind Drilling Spell was also true, and Lucius's arrogance at the beginning was very displeased with Voldemort.

"Professor Dumbledore, is what the witness said true?" Barty Crouch didn't ask Zhang Jin immediately, but confirmed with Dumbledore first.

"Of course, I hired him last year, and he's now working for Hogwarts." Dumbledore just plainly told the truth.

"So, Severus. Snape, can you be sure that what you're saying is true? ”

"I promise"

"In that case......

The tempo of the inquiry suddenly increased a lot, but it was clear that Umbridge was still not resigned.

"Please wait a minute, Mr. Interrogator, I have every reason to suspect Severus. Snape also joined the Death Eaters, hoping that Professor Dumbledore would not be deceived. ”

"I think I can tell the truth, Ms. Umbridge."

Well, it sounds like Dumbledore is angry, it's still a calm voice, but it always feels hairy.

"But given that your mistake has led to the death of the Savior's parents, namely James Potter and Lily Potter, I think we should be more cautious."

Umbridge probably had his head caught in the door, otherwise he wouldn't have been so Dumbledore.

The current Dumbledore is not the old man who is so preoccupied with Voldemort that he has no time to care about the Ministry of Magic.

In addition, this woman specifically mentioned the Potters, isn't this uncomfortable for herself, this is a topic that Dumbledore and Zhang Jin don't want to mention.

"As President of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Magician of the Wizengamot, I vouch for my trust in Severus. Snape. ”

Dumbledore didn't mean to be aggressive, but it was clear that Umbridge was still scared enough, and the toad-like woman could only say things like "Dark Mark Marks" in a very small voice, trying to save some face for herself.

It can also be seen from here that Dumbledore's prestige is still very strong, although because of the Potters' affairs, people have some doubts about his ability, but the title of "the strongest white wizard" for half a century is not given in vain, and the prestige accumulated for so long is not something that can be dispersed.

And the wizards in the entire hall obviously trusted the judgment of the greatest white wizard in the world.

"I'd better prove it to myself, just in case."

Zhang Jin also spoke up at this time, he didn't quietly appreciate Dumbledore's pretending.

And he himself also has the idea of breaking out, although there are still some Death Eaters on the run, but the danger is much less, and this is the right time to stand up and make trouble.

For the sake of the future, it is still necessary to accumulate some resources as much as possible, and Zhang Jin still has the idea of surpassing Dumbledore.

And carrying the reputation of a Death Eater is too bad for yourself, which means that you can have some face in a pure-blood family, and ordinary wizards will still stay away.

This is obviously not conducive to Zhang Jin's idea of wanting to develop in the magic world, the magic world is still dominated by ordinary wizards, and there are only a few people in the pure-blood family.

Besides, the pure-bloods still have Lucius here.

And maybe he can take over as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the future, instead of taking over as in the original book, which is always a bit unjustifiable.

So when Zhang Jin showed his smooth arms, there was no longer any objection in the hall.

In the end, Barty Crouch was quick to make a decision and passed Lucius without a hitch. The Malfoy trio were not guilty of any punishment decision.
