Chapter 40: The Judgment of the Ministry of Magic
The next morning, the students of Gryffindor and Slytherin were in the greenhouse behind the castle with a lecture by Professor Pomona Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, a sympathetic middle-aged woman who liked to play with flowers and plants.
Professor Sprout was only halfway through his lecture when the door of the greenhouse suddenly opened, and a cold wind swept in, making the little ones shiver in the room.
"Professor Dumbledore?" Professor Sprout looked through the door and was surprised to see that it was Dumbledore.
Dumbledore walked into the greenhouse with a lady in a black lawyer's suit, he nodded at Sprout, and then introduced the lady next to him, "Excuse me, this is Lady Amelia Bones, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, who is here to announce the notice from the Ministry of Magic." ”
Amelia Bones is a woman in her forties, with a slightly wide build, a square chin, a pale face, and a monocle, who looks very serious, rigid, and meticulous.
"Which one is Harry Potter?" Bones' voice was as serious and rigid as her people.
"I am." Harry Potter raised his arm, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.
"According to the decree of the Ministry of Magic, the following decision is announced, and after investigation, Harry Potter has used the Unforgivable Curse on others, violating the regulations of the Dark Arts Administration, and the situation is egregious, and he will be arrested. Mr. Potter, hand over your wand and come with us. Bones said coldly.
Harry Potter was in a mess for a while, with a look of fear and helplessness on his face, looking left and right, subconsciously wanting to ask for help, but only saw indifferent and frightened faces, he couldn't help but be disheartened, and walked towards the door in a daze, when he passed Dumbledore's side, Dumbledore whispered: "Don't worry, I will help you defend yourself, it will be fine." ”
Harry Potter breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully. When she walked outside the door, she found that it was not only Bones who had arrived, but also several Aurors, holding wands in their hands.
"What's going on, how could Harry Potter use dark magic?"
"You didn't attend yesterday's fight club and didn't know what happened at the time, I'll tell you......"
"Harry Potter was finally captured by the Ministry of Magic, and I knew there would be such a day."
"Have you heard? Harry Potter used dark magic to attack Malfoy and was captured by the Aurors! ”
"Harry Potter is secretly learning the dark arts, it's really incredible."
"The boy who didn't die? Savior? I knew for a long time that he was false, and the rumors were not credible at all. ”
"The Unforgivable Curse is the most evil form of black magic in the world, and anyone who uses the Unforgivable Curse on others will be imprisoned for life in Azkaban."
"Harry Potter will never come back!"
After Harry Potter was captured, the students began to talk about it, and soon the news spread, and within a day, all the students in the entire house heard about it.
On the same day, the Daily Prophet added a special evening newspaper to focus on the beginning and end of the Harry Potter arrest.
The next day, Harry Potter's trial took place at the Wellingamot, with Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Arthur Weasley, and Mrs. Figg appearing to defend Harry Potter, and Snape, the Weasleys, and some of James Potter's friends in attendance.
Dumbledore and others defended Harry Potter, first explaining that he was a kind and upright little boy who would never intentionally hurt others, and then persuaded the court to leniently issue Harry Potter on the grounds that he was underage, and finally released Harry Potter on bail with Dumbledore as a guarantor.
After a long day and several lengthy rounds of debate, Harry Potter finally left the Wizengamot and returned to Hogwarts.
The law is for those in power, and the regulations of the Ministry of Magic are for those in power in the wizarding world, which is ruled by noble bloodline families.
Sirius Black was blamed by Peter Pettigrew and became the murderer of thirteen people and the evil Death Eater, but in the end he was not sentenced to death, while many Death Eaters who did not kill were executed on the spot, for a simple and realistic reason, because the Black family is a pure-blood family with noble blood, deep connections in the wizarding world, a huge network, and a rich family fortune, so they saved their lives.
Although Harry Potter is an orphan, he is the heir of the Potter family, which is also one of the most pure-blooded families in the wizarding world, no less than the Black family and the Malfoy family.
Family background and connections played a key role in this moment, coupled with Dumbledore's dredging of relations and power exchange for him, and finally Harry Potter was handled lightly, sentenced to labor reform without pain, and after paying a fine and bail, he walked out of the Wizengamot safely.
This incident proves that the wizarding world is also a very real place, and the so-called magic ban is only written for those low-level wizards who have no power and power.
On the same day, the Daily Prophet followed up on the incident, and the newspaper's sales soared.
The next day, Harry Potter appeared at Hogwarts and attended a Quidditch training match as normal.
"Look, isn't that Harry Potter!?"
"That's right, wasn't he captured by the Ministry of Magic?"
"Didn't you read the newspaper? According to the regulations for the protection of underage wizards, combined with Harry Potter's contributions---- he defeated the Dark Lord and saved the wizarding world---- and this incident did not cause irreparable serious consequences, so the Ministry of Magic punished him lightly and did not imprison him in Azkaban. ”
"I see."
"It's not fair, is it because he's made a contribution that he can ignore the magic ban?"
"Be quiet, and don't be heard by Harry Potter. If you let him know that you are speaking ill of him behind his back, he will kill you directly with black magic. ”
“……”
Everywhere Harry Potter passed, similar whispers could be heard, and everyone looked at him with strange looks, which made his mood worse and worse, and the black air under his eyes became more and more intense.
Fast forward four months, the semester had come to an end, the last Quidditch match had ended, and the Gryffindor House with Harry Potter had won, but it didn't make him happy, because in a few days he was going back to 4 Privet Road, which was a huge annoyance.
"Oh my god, this semester is coming to an end, my spotted hasn't come back yet, it must have been eaten by Hermione's goddamn cat." Ron said bitterly that Spotted had lived in their house for twelve years and had become an official member of their family, and he couldn't imagine what kind of domestic violence his family would have suffered if his family knew that he had lost Spotted.
"No way, Crookshank doesn't eat rats at all." Hermione said loudly.
"Who knows?" Ron said indignantly.
While they are arguing, the protagonist they are talking about quietly returns to Hogwarts.
