The fat man with the head of the Mediterranean Sea said something from the heart of an ordinary person would never say on such an occasion.

So much so that the atmosphere in the courtroom was awkward and silent.

Barty Crouch's face turned blue with anger, and he smashed the hammer and shouted: "George Harrison, alarmist, this is the ...... of the Wizengamot trial"

Before Crouch could speak, the fat man took out a dirty handkerchief, blew his rosacea, and interrupted contemptuously: "I know, I know, it hurts your face." ”

Harrison looked around at most of the people present, "I've been wondering who is the most unlucky in the Wizarding War. Eventually I figured out, them!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the wizards in the audience below and said: "When the war starts, no matter which side you stand on, you can only be cannon fodder, and when the war ends, no matter which side you are on, you are the one who is the most injured, but the war dividends will never be their turn." ”

He added: "Some people regard justice as faith, some people regard justice as a gun, and there is a proverb in the East that says, 'The one who starts the work has no aftermath', which is worth pondering." ”

Crouch was on the verge of breaking the mallet.

Harrison grinned at Crouch, "I confessed my mistake, I said a bunch of things that had nothing to do with the trial. I declare my resignation as judge of the Wizengamot and shall never cease to hold office. Are you satisfied, Presiding Judge?"

Barty Crouch gasped for breath, but had nothing to say.

Eventually, he cleared his throat and said, "Alright, please raise your hand to vote on the decision to identify and confiscate the knowledge of the dark arts in the ancestral secret texts of the Fangli family and the Shafiq family." ”......

Harrison spoke up and quit himself, but that didn't change anything

The resolution was passed, and the subsequent series of penalties were also passed.

Kane was not surprised by this, and it was not a curse of truth, but just a few heartfelt words, how could he suppress greed?

Besides, the skin of the dough was torn, and at this time, the flag died down, so that the face of the linzi was lost.

The people represented by Crouch are not stupid in this regard, but are 'sophisticated'.

The verdict of Stanley Shafiq is described in one sentence: the crime is extremely heinous, but the mind is not the first evil, and it is a voluntary surrender, and the crime is reduced to a certain extent, and the atonement and compensation are severe.

So, raid the house!

Kane's maternal line, the Fangley family, went to their ancestral home, in what is now the forests of Exmoor National Park in southern Britain and north of Devon.

Originally, almost all of Exmoor was the domain of the Fangli family, including the wilderness where the Weasley family is now located.

But the family declined, and there were not enough resources to maintain a huge territory, so it could only shrink again and again.

To this day, the Secret Realm is less than a ten-acre area.

Some people may say that four hectares of land is not less.

But this is not a city where every inch of land is valuable, nor is it a densely populated East, and it is even a pure HP world.

These four hectares of land are nothing more than a dirt hill in the national park. Most of the people who contract the forest to plant trees can get similar or larger land. It's nothing more than a place where it's always been shielded, and the ancient trees are verdant and have some of the characteristics of an enchanted forest.

A forest road leads to the top of the mountain, and the bluestone steps are overgrown with weeds and have long been rarely used.

The ancestral home of the Fang Li family is located on the top of the mountain.

At this moment, the two wizards who came to raid the house, finished their work, and were walking around the mansion and chatting.

"See, Rubers, there, and there, isn't the design very elaborate and beautiful?, although the mansion is dilapidated, the foundation is still very good, very classic seventeenth-century Baroque architecture, probably by some Muggle master. ”

"Vincent, your knowledge is really quite extensive, I can't see how good this building is, but this land, it's really good, a good place to escape the summer, it's hidden enough, it's a Muggle national park, the roads are not badly repaired, and it's not dazzling to walk in disguise as a Muggle, if only it could be used as an Auror stronghold." ”

"Isn't there a large secret in Devon?"

"Squeezing together with Muggles, after all, is a lot of inconvenience. Muggle towns, no matter how prosperous they are, don't have much to do with us wizards, and you know, the vaults are a bit crowded. A group of people are tired from a day's work, go there to rest, fart, grind their teeth, snore, plus body odor, tsk......"

"If I were to say, there should be more Muggle items circulating in the wizarding world, and some of them are really useful, such as air conditioners......"

"Vincent, you've been invited to tea twice by Arthur Weasley, who forbade the misuse of Muggle Items, and his Burrow doesn't seem too far from here. ”

"Okay, so let's move on to this secret realm, it's already the smallest secret realm, and it's even a little bit closer, you know, the smallest area of the secret realm is ten acres, and it's a little bit worse here. ”

Vincent added: "By comparison, the secret place of the Shafiq family in the Scottish Highlands is very impressive, the size of a thousand acres, and their ancestral home is a castle built in the fifteenth century. The granite ones, even if no one repairs them, will have no problem standing for a few hundred years......"

Vincent had been there not long ago, and when he spoke of it, Rubes listened with a look of longing.

"I used to think that it would be a bit cruel to the orphans and widows to confiscate all of the Fang Li and Shafiq estates in the city, Diagon Alley. It's funny that I was worried about these rich people before. ”

"Your fears are justified. And then they will be miserable indeed. ”

"Oh?" Rubes was interested, knowing that the International Magical Society had left a thousand gold Galleons for the mother and son, and both he and Vincent knew about it.

In addition, the British Ministry of Magic promised Catherine that she could go to work at the Ministry of Magic.

But Vincent said that the mother and son would be miserable, where is the misery?

Vincent said: "The Nozawa Garden Castle of the Shafiq family is grand and majestic, but the interior is so damaged that I estimated that it would cost at least 50,000 gold galleons to repair it all, even if it was just to be able to live, and it would cost more than 5,000 to repair a small part." ”

"Tsk, it's really expensive, but you can't fix it if you don't have the money. We are not like those Muggles, the castle has to be repaired, but it has to be kept in its original appearance, which is called a cultural heritage. Rubes shook his head as he spoke: "That kind of war facilities used in ancient wars are not suitable for habitation at all. ”

Vincent laughed: "There are indeed no stupid rules in the wizarding world, but don't forget, the maintenance of the secret realm also requires money." ”

"Ahh I know a little bit about this, let me calculate, a secret realm of that scale will cost at least 7,000 gold gallons in five years. ”

It turns out that in the wizarding world, although it is the business of one's own family not to repair the house, but the secret realm is exposed, but it is to be questioned, and its guilt is second only to the use of magic in the Muggle meeting place.

Vincent recognized Rubos's algorithm and continued: "It's been more than four years since the fall of the mystery man, and the Shafiq family has been on the run almost all the time. Do you think the Shafiq family can still come up with this money now?"

Rubos shook his head, "No, we all know that his family has that money, and he doesn't even have a copper nat, if not, there is no need to use part of the family collection to pay the debt, we all know that when those collections are counted, they are at least half discounted." ”

Rubes added: "In this way, doesn't this manor have a similar problem? The time limit is almost up, although the cost is relatively low, but if you replace it once, you don't have two thousand gold galleons, don't even think about it." ”

said and sighed: "It's really not that I don't know, although the secret mansion is good, the cost of living is really not low." In other words, the Shafiq family had to sell a property in order to have money to turnover. ”

Vincent smiled slightly: "Then who do you think has the ability to take over such a big industry, and what would these people do if they happened to know about the plight of the Shafiq family?"

Rubos's eyes slowly widened, and it took a long time before he said, "Those people are so ruthless, they really didn't leave much for the Shafiq family to live." If it were me, I would be angry and angry if I had such a thing. ”
