Chapter 148: Hearing!
Soon, August 12 arrived.
Dumbledore arrives at the hotel in the morning and takes Harry to the Ministry of Magic.
He didn't seem to pay any attention to the hearing, his face was relaxed, and he even smiled.
Harry felt that Dumbledore didn't look as ...... as he used to Sad?
"Professor?" called Harry.
"What's wrong, Harry?"
"Are you old and spring?"
Dumbledore had a question mark on his face, and only realized what he meant when he saw the narrow smile on Harry's face.
He walked faster.
Harry suddenly decided that he had guessed correctly, otherwise he would be so weak-hearted?
Harry followed closely, "Don't go so fast, let's talk, who is the other party? It can't be Mrs. Gray, she is a bit stern, but she is still very popular with her classmates." But how do I remember that her husband has a husband? Could it be Professor Huo Qi? Then you are an old cow eating tender grass. ”
Harry's voice wasn't small at all.
Although it was early in the morning, there were already quite a few people at the entrance of the London Underground.
So, all eyes were on Dumbledore. The disdainful gaze clearly said: Old man, why are you so shameless.
The pressure made Dumbledore feel worse than when he was surrounded by Voldemort and the Ghouls. 👍
Maybe it's a good thing to get Harry Potter out of school of witchcraft and wizardry...... Professor Dumbledore thought hard.
......
Dumbledore skillfully took Harry to squeeze the bus, buy tickets, and take the subway.
Of course, don't be so troublesome, just phantasm.
However, Dumbledore was a strict and rule-abiding man, and he didn't like simple things to add some confusion.
So today it is better to reach the Ministry of Magic in the way of ordinary people.
On the way, he also went to a breakfast shop to buy breakfast.
This was an eye-opener for Harry, because Harry knew that wizards didn't bother to use Muggle things, they didn't know about it, and they certainly wouldn't use it.
They would probably be shocked for a long time by a sensor door, how did the Muggles manage to let the door know that someone was coming in.
Many wizards have never even stepped into a Muggle world.
There are very few wizards like Dumbledore who are willing to embrace Muggle culture.
Walking through a few lively streets, the place they stepped into gradually became deserted and remote. In a pale place where the wall was painted, a red telephone booth stood alone against the wall.
Dumbledore led Harry into the phone booth.
He picked up the microphone and fiddled with it a few times, and an ethereal and indifferent female voice sounded in the phone booth: Guest, please tell us your name and the purpose of your visit.
"Albus Dumbledore, attend the hearing of Harry Potter for using magic in the Muggle world. ”
"Ah......h
Then he suddenly became extremely respectful and even said in a trembling voice: "Sir, please wait." ”
The gap was so big that Harry almost burst out laughing.
A round medal rolls out of the toault machine with the words: Harry Potter, on trial.
"Put it on your chest. Dumbledore said.
The female voice said again, "I hope you have a good day." ”
The inside of the red phone booth began to tremble and rumbled down.
For about a minute, a light appeared from under Harry's feet.
The elevator doors of the telephone booth opened.
This was Harry's first meeting with the Ministry of Magic.
Harry and Dumbledore were now standing at the end of a very large and imposing hall with a very bright black wooden floor. The peacock-blue ceiling is inlaid with glittering gold symbols that are constantly moving and changing, like the guardians of many heavens. The walls on both sides are inlaid with shiny black wood, and there are many gilded fireplaces. Every few seconds, with a slight rapid movement, a wizard or witch emerges from the fireplace on the left. And on the right-hand side, small lines were formed in front of each fireplace waiting to leave.
There is a fountain halfway through the hall. A group of golden statues, slightly larger than the size of the real one, stands in the center of a circular pool. The tallest of these statues is a noble-looking wizard with his wand pointed to the sky. Around this wizard statue is a beautiful witch, a centaur, a leprechaun and a little elf. The three statues in the back all stand in front of the wizard and the witch with a look of reverence. Water was flying out of the glittering nozzle at the tip of their wand, as well as a towrope for a centaur, the tip of a leprechaun's hat, and the two ears of a little elf and a spirit, so the sound of Ding Dong falling water came from the cracks in the statues, and at the feet of these statues were scattered hundreds of wizards and witches, most of them dressed in gray clothes and looking precocious. Looking straight ahead, there is a set of golden doors at the end of the hall.
A large number of staff and wizards who came to handle various things were crowded, and the large hall seemed to be crowded.
But when Dumbledore and Harry came out, everyone who saw them couldn't help but make room for them, creating a blank space.
There were many people who greeted Dumbledore, and Dumbledore seemed to have an extremely wide range of friends and was comfortable with them.
Harry noticed that they were staring at him no more than Dumbledore, but they were all cautious, pretending to sweep over.
They walked towards the row of golden doors, and on the far left was a table with the words "Safe Place" written on it.
Seeing them coming, a bearded man who was reading the Daily Prophet stood up, as if he wanted to act.
Another staff member next to him hurriedly held him down.
With that, Harry and Dumbledore walked straight over.
As he passed, Harry turned his head to look at them strangely.
The raunchy man just now was clearly standing up against them.
Safe, this is where the wand is temporarily confiscated, and any non-staff member who wants to enter the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic is to store the wand here.
However, the other man saw Dumbledore and guessed Harry's identity, so he just let them in.
You go and collect the wands of Dumbledore and Harry Potter, you think you're Daddy Fudge.
Unbeknownst to Harry, he had inadvertently enjoyed a privilege.
They passed through several doors and came to a hall with at least twenty golden elevator doors.
An elevator stopped right in front of him, and Harry and Dumbledore walked in.
Inside the elevator, several wizards and wizards looked at Harry's child curiously, wondering why the Ministry of Magic had a child come in.
When they and Harry looked at each other, they were startled and turned their heads in a hurry.
Harry couldn't figure out what his reputation was.
wai wai, I'm the savior, alas, how to see me is like seeing a cannibal king.
The elevator rises slowly, and with each floor it rises, there will be an audible prompt.
Each floor here is where the Ministry of Magic is responsible for a certain place.
"On the seventh floor, the Department of Magical Competitions and Sports, the headquarters of the British and Irish Fast Dis Cooperative Alliance, the Office Billiards Club, and the Magical Toy Patent Office. ”
"On the sixth floor, the Department of Magical Transport, the Floo Powder Teleportation Network Cooperation Center, the Broomstick Adjustment Control Office, the Pochi Office, and the Transmission Test Center. ”
"On the fifth floor, the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the International Office of Magical Goods Barter Standard Cooperation, the International Magical Law Office and the International Magical League UK Branch. ”
"On the fourth floor, the Department of Magical Biology Regulations and Control, the Magical Creatures Cooperation Office, the Body and Soul Separation Office (specifically for those who have been separated from their bodies and souls due to improper use of teleportation magic), the Leprechaun Liaison Office, and the Pet Counseling Center. ”
"The third level, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, includes the Office of Magical Disaster Reversal, the Rescue Command, and the Muggle Protection Committee. ”
"The second level is the Magical Regulations Enforcement Department, which includes the Office of Inappropriate Use of Magic, the Auror Command, and the Office of Magical Item Maintenance Management. ”
Then, Harry and Dumbledore walked out.
Well...... Something seems to be missing......
No matter, it's obsessive-compulsive to death.
"The hearing was held on this floor, in the office of Emion Boras, who was a nice person. She is the head of the Department of Enforcement of the Magical Regulations, and she is generally in charge of violations of magic. ”
She was the Muggle ******** and the head of the national police.
As a result, he now has to try a small case like his own traffic violation.
One is because Harry has a special identity and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, and the other is that the wizard population is too small, and the Ministry of Magic is actually dealing with some trivial things.
There are millions of wizards in the world, and there is less than a city in China.
What's more, wizards are spread all over the world, so there are fewer wizards throughout the UK.
In fact, Britain is the origin of the original wizards, and it is already the country with the largest concentration of wizards in the world, but even so, the number of wizards is less than a million.
......
The hearing process was very simple, and nothing disgusting happened. (In the original book, Harry was questioned in the 10th Trial Court, and was adjudicated by fifty members of William Garmo.) This is a serious criminal court, and it is generally only used to try dark wizards who have committed serious crimes. )
In Amine Boras's office, she was a serious old woman who reminded Harry of Professor McGonagall.
However, she and Dumbledore seemed to have a good relationship.
Because after two more people came in, Harry clearly noticed that the face of the head of the magic department suddenly turned cloudy and cloudy, which was a naked dislike.
It was a man and a woman who came in, the man was the Minister of Magic, Fudge's fat man, and the woman was blocked by his body and couldn't notice.
Fudge looked good but was quite warm, but looking at his weak heart, he didn't even dare to look directly into Dumbledore's bright little eyes, but Dumbledore greeted Fudge with a smile as if nothing had happened.
Tsk, just this cheeky still wants to overthrow the mountain of Dumbledore.
Dream on.
I can't even act.
Harry inexplicably thought of some plots, a prince who wanted to kill the emperor and seek to usurp the throne, so he recruited troops behind his back, but he didn't know that the emperor knew everything. When the emperor summoned him, he bowed his head weakly, but the old fox on the throne had a smile that his father would always love your son. Then, when the prince went out, he clicked.
The conversation began.
"Name"
"Harry Potter"
"Do you admit to using xx magic at x times x ticks"
"Yes"
"Reason"
"Learning makes me happy"
Director, Dumbledore, Fudge: "......"
"Did you realize your mistake?"
"Yes, I was wrong"
"Would you like to promise not to use magic with Muggles in the future?"
"Of course"
"Please pay a 20 Galleon deposit"
"Okay"
A machine on her desk spits out a long strip of invoices, receipts, and receipts all in one.
That's it.
It's that simple.
