Chapter 457: Ivan: Isn't it just a miserable sale? Who's afraid of whom!

Hearing Sirius's words, Ivan quickly glared at him, now was not the time to be angry.

Sirius pursed his lips, not saying anything...

"You insulted my son like this!" Madame Peter, however, reacted quite aggressively, and excitedly waved the cane in her hand to slap Sirius on the head.

But the crutch was grabbed by a hand in mid-air, and Dumbledore stared intently at the old witch in front of him, a hint of anger on his face.

Lady Peter's anger was as if she had been doused with cold water, and she trembled, trying to pull the cane back from Dumbledore's hand, but she didn't have the courage.

"Silence! Stop, this is the Inquisition, not a place for trouble! The presiding judge slapped the table in annoyance.

Dumbledore let go of his hand, and his cane fell to the ground.

Madame Peter squatted down slightly and picked up her crutches, leaned over, looked at the presiding judge on the stage, and said in a choked voice.

"Your Excellency, I beg your pardon for my faux pas, as a mother, I have been separated from my child for more than ten years, and today I was finally able to see each other again... I... I can't be separated from him anymore..."

In the end, Madame Peter even cried bitterly on the spot, tearfully telling how lonely she was after the "death" of her only child, and how she struggled to survive in the wizarding world...

Combined with Madame Peter's full head of gray hair, old countenance, and a patched robe, it made the listener sad and the listener wept...

Ivan frowned, what Madame Peter said just now was all nonsense that had nothing to do with the case, but the presiding judge did not mean to interrupt, this was a very obvious biased behavior.

Thinking that Dumbledore had told him before that the presiding judge was elected by the Ministry of Magic, Ivan had some understanding.

Obviously, for some people, the truth is far less important than political struggle, and in order to cause trouble for them, Fudge really did everything, and the presiding judge's behavior just now was probably also aimed at Dumbledore.

Noticing that the committee members around him, under the emotional weeping of Madame Peter, were vaguely touched and sympathetic, Ivan knew that he could not wait any longer!

The rules of the court in the wizarding world are completely different from the country where Ivan lived in his previous life.

The votes of the commissioners will greatly affect the outcome of the final verdict, and the presiding judge will generally not go against the decision of the commissioners, not to mention that even the presiding judge is not on Sirius's side now.

Ivan wasn't sure how many of the commissioners present had been bribed and how many remained neutral, but if Madame Peter had continued to say so, the situation would have gotten worse and worse.

Realizing this, Ivan decisively interrupted the old witch's cry and said.

"Madame Peter, you're not right to say that! Your child Peter Pettigrew is a Death Eater! He shamefully revealed the hiding place of the Potters to the mysterious man, betrayed his best friend who was willing to entrust his life to him, and nearly destroyed the hope of the entire wizarding world! ”

Ivan's impassioned tone reminded the committee members, who had been somewhat sympathetic to the old witch, of Peter's ugly deeds.

However, Ivan did not mean to stop, he looked at everyone present and continued in a sharp voice.

"Harry Potter saved the entire wizarding world, saved us all, and saved us from living under the brutal rule of the Mysteries! But such a hero should have had a happy family, loved his parents, and enjoyed the glory he deserved!

But all this is destroyed by Peter, the vile betrayer, the lackey of the mysterious man! You must not know what kind of life our heroes have lived for more than ten years!

He was adopted by his own Muggle relatives! That Muggle family hated wizards and everything that couldn't be understood!

Poor Harry was treated unfairly there because he behaved differently since he was a child! I was forced to live in a storage room of a few square meters, did a lot of housework, wore clothes that others didn't want, was wantonly bullied by my peers, and often even had to go hungry..."

What Ivan said was very bleak, and he did his best to restore Harry's life in the Muggle world, and succeeded in making most of the commissioners feel indignant at Harry's tragic experience.

"How dare those Muggles do that? It's a great honor to be able to adopt Harry Potter! They turned out to.. How dare you treat him like this! ”

"Oh my God, I never knew that Harry had endured so many grievances when he was a child, and I thought the Ministry of Magic would definitely arrange the best place for him to go!"

"What the hell are the people from the Ministry of Magic doing? Why haven't you cared about the current situation of Harry Potter for so many years? ”

......

On the seats on both sides, the committee members were angry one by one, and the insults continued.

They had long forgotten the grievances of Lady Peter's life, which were more notable than Muggles' discrimination against wizards and the injustice of heroes.

And the wizards who can sit here will not have a new generation! Everyone has lived through the last wizarding war, experienced the horrors of the Mystic and the Death Eaters, and has some gratitude for Harry who put an end to the Mysteries.

Some of the infected witches looked at Peter with disdain, disdain, and annoyance, but one of them, who was still sane, stood up and asked.

"Mr. Hals, can you guarantee that what you just said is true?"

"Yes, ma'am! Harry Potter is in the waiting room now, and will testify in court later, so you can ask for questions yourself! Ivan replied politely.

Ivan's words convinced some of the otherwise skeptical commissioners to his words, because no one would tell a lie that would soon be exposed.

Madame Peter watched Ivan destroy the atmosphere she had painstakingly created with just a few words, making the situation reverse in an instant, and she suddenly understood that she had met an opponent today!

For Dumbledore, who was also an apostor, she was in awe but not afraid.

Because a big man like this wants face, he can't wipe his face and sell miserably, he won't play a scoundrel like himself, and more importantly, he is born in a strong position, which helps to construct himself as a weak and helpless, so as to win the sympathy of the committee members present.

It's just that the little wizard in front of her doesn't care about it, and Madame Peter understands that her usual strategy may not work today...

Ivan was also looking at Madame Peter, who still had tears in the corners of her eyes, and her face was full of playfulness.

Isn't it just a miserable sale? Who's afraid of whom! I've got a story here!
