397. Was that guy Dumbledore or not?
A week passed quickly, and Lucius was able to exonerate Malfoy on the grounds that he was also a victim, as evidenced by the ruined supplies of the famous wine that had been drunk, and the miserable sight of the entire estate being made smoky, and the fact that there was a golden galleon to open the way. The whole process went very smoothly
During this time, the Aurors were not idle, searching around for those Death Eaters who had slipped through the net, but unfortunately they were so well hidden that they didn't catch any of them.
On this day, Fudge changed into a special costume in the office and wore a tall hat on his head.
It was the same suit worn by Scottie Podmore at the previous trial.
He didn't wear it properly that day, but now he wears it very well, Dumbledore stepped down from the position of chief wizard, and Fudge, as Minister of Magic, naturally took over the position of chief inquisitor for the time being.
Unless a chief can be elected immediately, he can continue to serve for the time being.
Fudge smiled and greeted every wizard around him, leading a group of Wizengamot members to the first courtroom.
Today is the day of trial for those Death Eaters who have been re-apprehended.
According to the Ministry of Magic, every convict who is to be placed in a formal prison is subject to trial.
Detention can only be carried out after the trial has been concluded.
The prisons of the Ministry of Magic can only be considered temporary prisons.
"Hello, my dear Deputy Secretary, Ms. Umbridge."
The first thing Fudge saw Umbridge as soon as he entered the courtroom and immediately greeted his confidant.
"Minister Fudge, no, Chief Wizard, hello."
Umbridge said bluntly in her throat, and then let out a series of laughs that she thought she was a girl.
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.
Fudge ate it, and he laughed very happily when he heard Umbridge's words.
Although the Minister of Magic and the Chief Wizard could not appear in the same wizard at the same time, that didn't stop him from listening willingly.
In a short time, many members of the Wizengamot were seated in the courtroom, and every trial did not require all members to be present, as long as the minimum number of judges was reached.
"Bring them all up."
Seeing that the crowd was almost coming, Fudge sat down in the right seat and motioned for the staff to bring the culprit with him.
"Tell me who helped you get out of prison."
Fudge straightened his waist and lowered his voice, trying to make himself appear more majestic, giving people a kind of psychological oppression.
However, the Death Eaters on the other side are not afraid of him at all, they are all vicious criminals, which onion are you Fudge?
Everyone's face was full of anger, but they just glanced at Fudge faintly, and didn't speak at all.
"I ask you who helped you get out of prison!"
Seeing that he had lost face, Fudge cleared his throat and asked again, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to be honest, anyway, spitting out the truth will make you tell the truth." ”
Fudge's threat made many Death Eaters look at him with murderous intent in their eyes.
This time, however, they answered Fudge's words, after all, it didn't taste good to drink the truth potion.
"It's us, we blew up the prison and ran out."
One of the Death Eaters said.
"You're lying!" Before Fudge could speak, Umbridge preemptively said, "Run, what are you going to run?" How could you run from the other side of the sea without even a wand? Someone must have helped you. ”
"Say, is that guy Dumbledore?"
When it comes to hating Dumbledore, if Fudge comes first, then Umbridge comes second.
If it weren't for Dumbledore, she wouldn't have been in prison at all, even if it was a prison for the Ministry of Magic, and even if she hadn't been punished, she would have considered it a great shame.
So she's going to get revenge back.
No one can offend me, Umbridge, and come out of harm's way.
She's going to get revenge on Dumbledore, revenge on Hogwarts, revenge on Malfoy, revenge on Potter.
As soon as the Death Eaters confessed, Umbridge would condemn him to death and send someone to Hogwarts to capture Dumbledore.
Not cooperative? That means that your heart is weak, and you are afraid of sin and abscond.
Cooperate? As long as she gets to the Ministry of Magic, to her territory, she Umbridge has the means and the means.
"Dumbledore?"
The Death Eaters didn't seem to understand what the two were thinking, but they knew that Dumbledore was Voldemort's enemy.
Even if he is an enemy, then he must not be allowed to show off.
"How can Dumbledore be qualified to let us out!"
Maybe they could recognize that this was a frame-up, but now that they have been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, their spirit has long been different from that of normal people.
The Death Eaters thought Fudge was insulting them, insulting their master.
"It can only be one person who can let us out"
The Death Eaters looked at each other and softly spat out three words, the pupils of all the wizards present contracted sharply, and Fudge shivered unconsciously, even Umbridge's eyes showed horror.
"The master will avenge us! He's going to kill you! Hahahaha, kill you! ”
"You're dead!"
Seeing the expressions of the people in the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters let out a wild laugh, each like crazy demons, as if they were killing everyone in front of them in the next second.
"You talk nonsense!"
It was Fudge who interrupted him this time, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he didn't care about his identity, so he jumped up in an instant.
"We all know, we all know that the man is dead."
"You're lying! You deliberately deceived us! ”
Another member of the Wizengamot stood up, and he pointed to the Death Eaters below and shouted.
"That's right, that man is dead!"
As if the louder the voice, the more it proves the words in his mouth.
"That man is dead!"
One by one, the members of the Wizengamot chimed in.
"That person has been"
"Boom!"
With a violent tremor, the door of the first courtroom exploded, scattering countless debris on the ground, startling everyone in the courtroom.
Everyone looked at the gate in unison
Empty.
"What's going on out there?! What about the guards? Guard! ”
One of them stood up and shouted out the door.
Quietly, however, there was no sound at all
Everyone looked at each other.
It stands to reason that there should be a few wizards standing outside the door.
Another member of the Wizengamot shouted tentatively, daringly.
"Anyone?"
There was still a dead silence
Even though the courtroom is located deep underground, it shouldn't be so quiet.
"Haha"
The Death Eaters seemed to have noticed something, laughed maniacally again, and turned to shout at the 'elites' of the Ministry of Magic on the stage.
"You're going to die, you're going to die!"
"No one can save you!"
