December 5 was fine

Today is the day of the Ministry's trial, and it has been more than a month since Voldemort's downfall.

In the past month, thanks to the efforts of the Aurors, more than thirty dark wizards have been captured, and these dark wizards will be put on trial in the next week.

In addition, there are several dark wizards who were directly killed during the capture process because they resisted or even killed the Aurors.

In general, the Aurors prefer to catch them alive, which may be a common problem among white magic wizards, while dark wizards are more likely to be killed, and it is said that several Aurors have been sacrificed, and almost every Auror has been injured.

The wizarding world has always been sparsely populated, so except for the real dark wizards, everyone has tried to kill as little as possible, and even trials have hardly ever been executed.

The Inquisition Hall is located on the tenth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, and this floor is the Inquisition Hall of the Law Enforcement Division, and there are at least ten of them.

When Zhang Jin and Dumbledore arrived in one of the rooms, it was already full of wizards, and they were sitting in a circle around the judgment table, and most of them were wizards who came to listen except for the judges of the Wizengamot.

When Dumbledore walked in, many people greeted him and shook hands, and Zhang Jin could hear the name of Geselda. Marchiban, Tiberus. Ogden and Amelia. Susan. Burns and so on, the last of which is the current Deputy Director of the Law Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic, who will later succeed Barty Crouch as Director.

When Dumbledore took Zhang Jin to sit down on one of the edges, the current director, Barty Crouch, struck the gavel and shouted: "All silent, now the trial has officially begun, please take the first defendant, Rodolphus. Slytranch brought it up. ”

Now Karkaroff has just been captured and is not ready for trial, and now the people who are going to be tried are Death Eaters who have been arrested for a while and have collected conclusive evidence.

For example, the Lestrange brothers and Bellatrix were arrested on the spot for torturing the Longbottoms with the Diamond Curse until they were permanently disabled, while Barty Crouch Jr. ran faster and was not caught.

There was also the murder of Gidion. Puwitt and Fabian. Antonin of Prowit. Dolokhov.

The Puwit brothers were Mrs. Weasley's older brothers, so Arthur. Weasley also arrived, and sat in the back seat.

These are all famous Death Eaters in the original books, and they can be said to be Voldemort's diehards.

Moreover, the evidence of their crimes was conclusive, so they did not have any intention of defending the verdict of life imprisonment for Azkaban, nor did they shout or beg for mercy.

The Death Eaters had apparently been informed of Voldemort's death as well, and most of the time they remained silent, with a marked sense of decadence and despair.

It is only in the interrogation of Bellatrix that some differences can be discerned.

"Bellatrix. Slaterrant is now sentenced to life in prison for attacking Frankloon Barton and Alice Longbottom on November 5 and casting a Diamond Curse on them until they are permanently disabled. ”

When Barty quickly uttered Bellatrix's verdict, the woman just looked at him, without the despair or fear on her face.

She just calmly announced that the Dark Lord would return, that he would return, and that was it.

Her countenance, which was still good, was only an absolute obsession with Voldemort, and a clear blind trust, and nothing else.

Such a person probably doesn't care about anything other than what she is obsessed with, and these things that she doesn't care about include her husband.

Seeing Bellatrix like this, Zhang Jin believed that as long as Voldemort was willing to ask her, she would definitely climb over desperately, even in front of her husband.

This is a man who is only one step away from being a madman, and Azkaban is clearly that step.

Finally, when today's trial was over, Barty Crouch spoke again.

"Now for the last routine consultation, against Lucius, who is a major suspect. Malfoy, Ebeli. Crabbe and Jogori. Was Goyle found guilty? ”

As soon as Barty finished speaking, the venue was in an uproar, and it seemed that most of the people, except for some of the victims' families, should have come because of this.

You know, ever since Lucius and the others announced that they were under the control of the Imperius Curse and wanted to get away with it, the wizarding world has been arguing endlessly.

Because Lucius and they can't prove that they are controlled, they can only use their power to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Magic and unite to put pressure on the Ministry of Magic.

And the Minister of Magic has obviously been convinced, and now it is obvious that Barty Crouch and his faction do not want to let them go, so there is such a special inquiry, and Zhang Jin is also coming to see it to ensure that there will be no moths.

For other people Zhang Jin can not care, but for Lucius. Malfoy can't do it, the two of them have just signed the Loyalty Curse for a short time, and it is unreasonable not to have this ability.

After all, Zhang Jin doesn't have to worry about his own problems anymore, and being able to help Lucius again will definitely be of great benefit to future cooperation.

At this time, only a male witch was heard shouting, "Mr. Malfoy has confirmed that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse, and Mr. Minister has confirmed that he should be exonerated!" ”

But there are also those who say, "Shit, those guys are diehards of the Mysteries, real Death Eaters, and I don't believe there's a Imperi Curse to control them." ”

All kinds of voices in the whole hall immediately mingled, people were arguing, and even about to start moving, Zhang Jin saw that Arthur Weasley had already raised his fist and was about to make a move.

Seeing this scene, Barty Crouch had to bang the gavel again.

"Silence, silence, the investigation of the incident has been completed, and now if there is any new evidence, please come up with it, otherwise a vote will begin."

It took a while for the venue to begin to fall silent, and it has to be said that Barty Crouch himself seemed to be planning to let it go, perhaps because others disagreed, and such a consultation should be more of an explanation to his supporters.

After looking around and sure enough, no one stood up, Crouch was ready to pronounce the sentence: "Then~"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Crouch," said a shrill girl, and everyone turned to look at the toad-looking woman in a pink sweater.

"I don't think there's a clear fact that they're not under the Imperius Curse, but that doesn't prove that they must have been controlled, so someone needs to prove that they're really controlled in order to be acquitted, and ask the interrogator to accept it."

"If neither side is able to provide new evidence, then the interrogator should also be asked to give a reasonable verdict about the serious harm they made."

"Even if it can't be sentenced to life in prison, at least there should be some punishment, and compensation must be made to show the justice of the Ministry of Magic."

Dolores. Umbridge seemed pleased that so many people were looking at her, and she smirked around as she finished.

Barty Crouch recognized Umbridge at a glance, this person was too recognizable in the Ministry of Magic, and everyone knew that she was the same as the current Deputy Minister of Magic, Connelly. Fudge walked close, but he didn't expect Fudge's faction, which had always been a little transparent to the Ministry of Magic, to stand up.

Is this about supporting yourself? But I don't want it!

Barty Crouch was depressed, originally thought it was just a show and a formality, but he didn't expect to run away as a demon.
