Chapter 86: The Order of Liberty and Fraternity

Fudge pulled out a piece of parchment from the document in front of him and read, "After investigation, the suspect Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater who attacked the Ministry of Magic in a vain attempt to steal the Department of Mysteries collection......"

After reading it, Fudge put down the parchment and stared at Lucius with a resentful look.

"Malfoy, do you admit that you invaded the Ministry of Magic on November 16th?" Amelia asked.

"Yes, but ......" Lucius had not finished speaking, and Amelia made a quick note on the parchment.

"Who instructed you?" She interrupted Lucius' answer.

"Of course it's the Dark Lord, he made me ......"

Most of the members of the Wizengamot took a breath of cold air when they heard the name, and Fudge interrupted Lucius's answer again with a hard hammer.

"Suspect Lucius Malfoy, please note that it is useless to shield and conceal for your accomplices, we all know that the mysterious man is dead. Now I ask you, who was the man who was with you that day? ”

"It's Peter Pedirou, he's ......"

Before Lucius could finish his sentence, Fudge struck the hammer again in anger: "Lucius Malfoy, I must remind you that the mystery man and Peter Pediroux are dead. Your current stubborn resistance will not do you any good in the judgment that follows, and you better tell the truth than cover up and hide it for your accomplices! ”

Lucius was silent, glancing up at Sirius and Scrimgeour sitting in the gallery, as if aware of Fudge's purpose.

His target wasn't me......

Lucius was a little nervous, sweat beaded slightly on his forehead, and he began to think about how he should answer Fudge's question next.

Fudge didn't notice the slight change in Lucius, still smacked the hammer solemnly, and asked, "Malfoy, who exactly instructed you to invade the Department of Mysteries, and what is your purpose?" ”

"Thisβ€”" Lucius swallowed, glanced at Fudge, and quickly lowered his head to look at his toes.

Sirius, who was in the audience, saw Lucius's small movements, and couldn't help but clench his fists, "This waste! He's going to frame Calvin! ”

Scrimgeour reassured, "Don't worry, Mr. Blake. Mr. Capet said there would be no surprises today. ”

Don't look at him still comforting Sirius, in fact, his palms are already full of sweat, and once Calvin Capet is charged, he and Sirius will be the first to be unlucky in the Ministry of Magic.

"He didn't know where he had gone for the past two days! I even wonder if he's ...... Is he really afraid of Voldemort and ran back to France? ”

Fudge noticed Lucius' eyes this time and smiled casually. He knew the Malfoys too well, and if he hinted at it a little, Lucius would fall to himself and betray his old master.

So Fudge changed his tone and said seductively, "Malfoy, your family has a very high status, and there is no need to be responsible for the main culprit at all. You know, if you're sure that a mysterious person is the one who ordered you, you're a potential Death Eater. You've lived through the Wizarding Wars, and you should know the Ministry's attitude toward Death Eaters. ”

Lucius licked his lips and looked at Fudge with a greedy gaze. Fudge was satisfied, and he knew that Lucius was about to give him a satisfactory answer.

But just then, a paper airplane made of parchment flew into the interrogation room and quickly unfolded in the air. A door is drawn on parchment, and then the door is opened. A black-haired red boy and a young wizard in a purple wizard's robe walked out of the door.

"Calvin, he's finally here." Sirius, who was in the audience, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fudge was a little annoyed, he looked at Calvin who suddenly appeared in the interrogation room, and said angrily, "Calvin, you are not qualified to appear here. Your status as Senior Security Advisor to the Minister of Magic has been revoked by me. Aurors, pull him out! ”

Calvin waved his right hand slightly, and the two Aurors who wanted to step forward were tightly confined to their chairs, unable to move.

"Actually, I don't think you're qualified to try Lucius Malfoy." Dressed in a purple robe, Calvin unfolded a document, walked over to Lucius, pulled him up from his chair, and gave him a silence spell.

Fudge, whose face was pale, didn't have the heart to read the documents Calvin had brought. With all his strength, he asked, "Calvin Capet!" What do you mean? Do you know what it is to forcibly break into the Ministry of Magic's interrogation room and take away the suspect who is being interrogated? ”

"Minister Cornelius Fudge, I advise you to take a closer look at the document I have given you. I now represent not just me, but the French Minister of Magic, Charles Rolland, and the French Ministry of Magic as a whole. ”

Calvin turned around and revealed a gleaming gold medallion, which was instantly recognized by Amelia Bones beside Fudge, a French Order of Liberty and Fraternity, with a status equivalent to that of the Order of Merlin, First Class.

Calvin continued, "Lucius Malfoy is a French wizard who deserves to be tried by the French Ministry of Magic, and I am bringing him back to trial today on behalf of the French Ministry of Magic. ”

Even Amelia Bones couldn't help it, and the serious witch said, "What nonsense are you talking about, how can Lucius Malfoy be a French wizard?" Charles Rowland is he crazy? ”

"Actually, the French Ministry of Magic thinks so, with a good reason," Calvin seemed to be prepared, taking out hundreds of thick pages of parchment and flying to Amelia's desk, "The ancestor of the Malfoy family, Armand Malfoy, came to England with William, the conquering king. Armand Malfoy was given a large plot of land in Wiltshire. The descendants of the Malfoy family lived here for the next thousand years. ”

"The Malfoy family of France has confirmed that the Malfoy family of England is a branch of their family, and according to the laws of the French Ministry of Magic, Lucius Malfoy is a French wizard and should be tried by the French Ministry of Magic."

】

Fudge threw the thick pile of papers into the air without dignity and yelled, "What wordplay are you and Roland playing?" Even so, Lucius Malfoy has British citizenship, and we at the British Ministry of Magic can put him on trial! ”

Calvin sneered at the furious Fudge and said in a tone of pity, "Fudge, what Lucius said today is true. Voldemort and Peter, really alive. How long do you think you'll be in your place? ”

With that, Calvin led Lucius through the parchment door and disappeared into the interrogation room. And the interrogation room was thrown into chaos because of Calvin's last words.

Fudge yelled unwillingly at the place where Calvin had finally disappeared, "Calvin, you make this clear to me!" ”
