Chapter 1105: Azkaban jailed for life
Although Umbridge has done a lot of bad things, she is only an executor herself. She has been instructed by Fudge and is essentially doing things for the Ministry of Magic. As far as this is concerned, she does not need to take full responsibility.
However, once this kind of thing is exposed, it will cause irreparable damage to the credibility of the Ministry of Magic. What\'s more, in the eyes of most politicians and bureaucrats, abuse of power is actually not a big deal.
Umbridge is an old man of the Ministry of Magic. He has a high position in himself, is not weak in execution, and can please people. In the novel, after Scrimgeour took power, in order to better control and stabilize the Ministry of Magic, he would naturally not deal with Um. Richie, and Scrimgeour also had more pressing matters to deal with than Umbridge.
After Albert\'s disturbance, Harry Potter directly overturned the table. As the most influential savior at present, there is a vague tendency to lead public opinion to go against the Ministry of Magic. Out of political interests, Umbridge is naturally chosen. Throw it away, or God knows what Harry Potter will say to reporters someday, and maybe what else will happen.
As for the Ministry of Magic\'s intention to put the time on the weekend and invite Harry Potter as a witness, it is actually just formalism. While convicting Umbridge, it can also win Harry Potter and show the justice of the Ministry to the outside world. , to enhance the credibility of the Ministry of Magic.
But these things seem ridiculous to Albert. If Harry Potter was an employee of the Ministry of Magic, maybe he would choose to compromise, but Harry Potter is not, he is just a wronged person who has just been targeted. One year of young people.
That means being vulnerable to emotions.
How can the wonderful fantasy of the Ministry of Magic be realized?
"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore."
Albert, wearing a Wizengamore costume, appeared at the door of the principal\'s office. If he hadn\'t gone to participate in the Umbridge trial today, Albert would never have appeared here, much less would have attended.
However, today\'s trial is undoubtedly a big drama that is about to be staged. Albert has been preparing for this for a long time, so naturally, it cannot be easily missed.
"Good morning, Anderson, you are always so punctual." Dumbledore glanced at the clock and greeted Albert with a smile.
"Has Harry Potter arrived?"
Albert didn\'t see Harry, so he asked casually.
"Not yet, I think Harry should be there soon."
As soon as Dumbledore\'s voice fell, he saw Harry Potter hurriedly rushing here.
"Harry Potter, are you ready?" Albert asked, looking at the panting Harry.
"what to prepare?"
Harry put his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, apparently not understanding what Albert meant for a moment.
"You still need a little luck." Albert took out the medicine bottle from his pocket and poured two Fluxes for Harry Potter, "This is my friendly sponsorship."
Dumbledore pretended not to see it, but he also knew why Albert gave Harry the elixir.
Last time, Harry, who ate Flux, showed an amazing level in the courtroom.
"Oh, thank you, I\'ve already read the document last night, and I\'ll definitely be able to send her in this time." Harry put away the Flux and prepared to eat it later, so as not to waste the effect of the Flux .
God knows when the Ministry of Magic will start the court session, his last court date was earlier, and this time it might be delayed.
They headed to the Ministry through the fireplace in the headmaster\'s office.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the Ministry of Magic, it caused a great disturbance, especially the group of Aurors, who looked at Albert with extremely complicated eyes.
Of course, there are also many wizards who greeted Albert and Dumbledore with a smile, especially Albert\'s old friend in Wizengamore, who asked him about Umbridge.
"I was there at the time, and Umbridge really jumped out of the school like a toad." Albert said with a smile: "Basically all the teachers and students in the school came to see her away."
"What a crazy woman."
Dumbledore pretended not to hear their conversation.
Everyone chatted and laughed and went to the courtroom on the tenth basement floor.
This time, the time for the trial was quite accurate. Harry, who had taken the Flux, looked very excited.
The guy who made him sit for trial last time needs to sit for trial today.
The only disappointment for Harry was that Fudge was still serving as an interrogator.
This is not a good sign.
Just after eight o\'clock, Fudge was in court, and he said gloomily, "The trial of June 15th, Umbridge, the Deputy Minister of Magic, abused his power when he was a senior investigator at Hogwarts."
really…
Harry\'s foreboding came to pass, and Fudge intended to exonerate Umbridge.
But he also has coping strategies.
Harry first smiled at Umbridge beside him, then raised his hand to interrupt: "Mr. Minister, I think your wording is inappropriate."
Fudge frowned, he hadn\'t thought that Harry Potter would interrupt him directly.
"Mr. Potter, what\'s your problem?" Burns asked. She felt that this trial might not go well. During the last trial, Harry Potter\'s fighting power showed many people by surprise.
"If it\'s an abuse of power to say that Umbridge sent the Dementors to attack me, is it also an abuse of her power to use Veritaserum and Cruciatus on a large number of students at Hogwarts?" Harry said at Umbridge. Under the stunned eyes, he smiled and turned his eyes to Fudge, "Or is it that Umbridge\'s Veritaserum and Cruciatus are also the authority granted by the Ministry of Magic?"
All right!
Harry, who used the Fuling agent, was really strong in combat, and he hit the key point directly with one blow?
Abuse of power?
This kind of thing can be big or small, and it\'s natural that Harry can\'t let Fudge just take it easy.
As soon as Harry finished speaking, the courtroom was in a frying pan, and there was a whisper among the members of the Wizengamot.
They didn\'t forget that about a year ago, they also attended Harry Potter\'s trial here, and now the truth about the Dementor attack has been completely revealed.
Umbridge sent Dementors to attack Harry Potter?
What shocked everyone even more was that Umbridge actually used Veritaserum and Cruciatus on the students.
It\'s like a newspaper, the news in it can only be trusted by three points, but Harry Potter dared to say this here, obviously it really happened.
You know, even the Ministry of Magic is quite strict with the use of Veritaserum to interrogate prisoners, not to mention the massive use of Veritaserum on Hogwarts students.
Is Umbridge crazy?
However, Harry Potter also accused Umbridge of using the Cruciatus Curse on Hogwarts students.
According to Ministry of Magic law, the Unforgivable Charm can be sent directly to Azkaban without trial.
Umbridge looked at Harry resentfully, and Fudge also blushed, because Harry Potter\'s words meant that Umbridge did everything on his Fudge\'s orders.
However, before Fudge and the rest of the jury recovered from their shock, Harry continued to say, "Mr. Minister, your face doesn\'t seem very good, is this really your order."
"Presumptuous!" Fudge angrily roared filial piety.
The whole Wizengamore was completely fried, and Harry Potter directly and publicly questioned the Minister of Magic, which was undoubtedly provoking the justice of the Ministry of Magic.
Even Burns felt that things were going to be bad, but before she could speak, Harry Potter spoke again.
"I remember this is a courtroom, not a pub." Harry raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "Next, I take legal responsibility for everything I say."
"I don\'t think our Mr. Connelly Fudge is fit to sit there and participate in this trial. That will affect the justice and fairness of the trial." Harry ignored Fudge\'s murderous gaze and continued, "Because there are indications that , this whole thing has to do with him, and if what I said was all about defaming the Minister of Magic, I could go to Azkaban for defaming the Minister of Magic."
Savior in Azkaban Prison?
That is naturally impossible. If this kind of thing happens, the entire magical world will not be completely exploded, but Harry said it at this moment, leaving no way out for Fudge.
"According to Umbridge\'s own disclosures, Cornelius Fudge herself knew about her sending Dementors to attack me. Can I think this was done by the Minister of Magic and tacitly?"
"Nonsense, I don\'t know about it at all." Fudge\'s face turned an ugly sauce purple, and filial piety angrily roared at Harry below. He regretted not interfering in the matter and had Harry Potter come to the trial.
There was a terrifying silence in the courtroom, and everyone looked at Fudge, even Burns frowned at Fudge.
In fact, any member of the Wizengamot who experienced the last Dementor attack remembers Fudge\'s ugliness.
"Raise your hands now, if you think Cornelius Fudge is no longer fit to stay and preside over the court, please raise your hand," said Amelia Burns suddenly.
"Bones..."
Fudge looked in disbelief at Amelia Burns, head of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement.
"Please leave for now."
Burns motioned for Fudge to look at the Wizengamore members who raised their hands, and shook his head slightly.
Fudge left his seat with a sullen face. Even worse than Fudge was Umbridge, who was sitting below.
Fudge\'s departure means that she is completely finished, otherwise she cannot be charged with too serious a crime on the basis of a charge of abuse of power.
However, the appearance of Harry Potter brutally overturned all this.
"Okay, let\'s reopen the court now."
Amelia Burns cast her eyes on the Undersecretary and said softly: "Dolores Jane Umbridge. You are accused of abusing your authority during your tenure at Hogwarts to have the Dementors attack Harry. Mr. Potter, and using Veritaserum and Cruciatus on Hogwarts students, do you have any objection to that?"
"No, I didn\'t." Umbridge retorted excitedly: "All of this is Harry Potter\'s slander and revenge."
"During his tenure at Hogwarts, Umbridge issued a total of 123 educational orders, 123 in one year." Harry admired the excited Umbridge with interest, and moved to the side, away from the other party. , to prevent Umbridge from jumping on him.
"Section 67, students in possession of candy purchased from unauthorized vendors will be expelled. Section 93, empowers Umbridge to confiscate unauthorized books from students, and Section 101, encourages Students report upcoming suspicious or illegal activities." Albert took out a dozen parchments from his robe pocket, flipped through them, and listed three of them. "There are 123 similar ordinances in total."
"Or are these 123 Education Orders all from the Ministry of Magic, not Umbridge?" Harry asked, narrowing his eyes.
Naturally, the Ministry of Magic could not admit that this was much hated.
Don\'t forget, students have families too.
Amelia Burns looked deeply at the stack of parchment in Harry Potter\'s hand, and then turned to Umbridge.
Before Amelia Burns could ask, Potter continued: "Oh, by the way, she also likes to confiscate students\' wands, hang people up, beat them with whips, and starve the students, very I like to use black magic tools to punish students, and if you need evidence, there are traces left on the back of my hand."
"I can\'t lie," Harry said softly, glancing at the back of his hand. "Thanks to Umbridge, I\'ve always believed in being honest."
"you…"
Umbridge was flushed with anger, she finally figured out that she was being calculated by Harry, and everything was for today.
So, that day Potter stimulated her to use the Cruciatus.
But now I know it\'s too late.
Amelia Burns glanced at the back of Harry\'s raised hand, and although she couldn\'t read the writing on it, there was no doubt that Potter didn\'t need to lie, because this kind of thing could only be known by investigation, and there was no way to hide it. or fake. "
"Dolores Jane Umbridge, is there anything you want to explain?"
"I know how to perform the tasks given by the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge shouted frantically: "I admit that I did cross the line a bit, but at that time the whole Ministry of Magic hoped that Harry Potter would be closed. Mouth, I don\'t want the rumor of the resurrection of the mysterious man to spread, I just fulfill the task, just use my power to drive away Dumbledore and Potter."
The courtroom was dead silent.
Some things can only be done and not said, but Umbridge said it.
Mission given by the Ministry of Magic?
No, it should be said that the task given by Cornelius Fudge is more suitable.
Fudge, who remained on the Wizengamore jury seat, became paler and his lips were trembling, and after a long time he said tremblingly, "I never told her to do that."
This kind of words obviously can\'t deceive other people here. As the highest judicial institution for wizards, the members who can appear here are all famous wizards.
Nobody is a fool.
What Umbridge did was obviously acquiesced by Fudge. As Potter said earlier, Fudge instructed Umbridge to send Dementors to attack Harry Potter.
Amelia Burns took a deep look at her boss. She suspected that Fudge would one day sit there and stand trial. The current situation is indeed not very friendly to Fudge. There are various signs that Fudge may be accused of collusion. Mystery man.
"Mr Potter accuses you of using Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse on Hogwarts students. Do you have anything to refute?"
Unsurprisingly, the charge of abuse of power was convicted, which was originally the charge to be convicted of Umbridge, but now this charge... doesn\'t seem to matter anymore.
"I am a victim of Veritaserum and the Cruciatus," Harry said calmly. "Umbridge used the Cruciatus on me twice not long ago in an attempt to interrogate my so-called secret Order of the Phoenix base."
"As for Veritaserum, a large number of students at Hogwarts have taken Veritaserum drinks, and I remember Mr Anderson being one of the victims."
Everyone looked at Albert.
"Yes, there is indeed such a thing." Albert nodded and said, "As far as I know, at least fifty Hogwarts students have drank Veritaserum drinks, and they can send someone to investigate. Nothing can be faked.”
"Of course, I suggest using Veritaserum directly on Umbridge, which can prove the truth of the whole thing faster, so as to avoid the possibility of Mr. Harry lying, and give Umbridge final justice."
Amelia Burns was silent for a moment, nodding in agreement, they couldn\'t just listen to Harry Potter\'s one-sided words.
Evidence in court!
Fudge glared at Umbridge, motioning her to plead quickly, but his actions made no sense.
The court ultimately gave Umbridge a small amount of Veritaserum as her last chance.
If she really didn\'t do it, would naturally be acquitted. However, Umbridge apparently couldn\'t stand the Veritaserum interrogation and told the truth.
As Harry expected, what Umbridge did was tacitly acknowledged by Fudge, and it didn\'t really matter whether it was authorized or not, because Fudge knew it.
The former Minister of Magic collapsed in his seat as he suspected that he might as well go up there.
"Raise your hand if you agree with the crime," said Amelia Burns, and almost all the Wizengamore jury raised their hands.
"Very well, Dolores Umbridge is convicted," continued Amelia Burns. "Raise your hand if you think these crimes deserve a life sentence in Azkaban."
Amelia Burns looked around at the number of hands raised, tapped the gavel, and delivered her sentence: "Dolores Umbridge...Azkaban for life."
Umbridge collapsed on his chair as if he had lost his soul. When she turned her head to see Harry, she rushed towards Harry like crazy: "It\'s all you, it\'s all you."
"Aurors," Burns yelled.
"No, you should blame Fudge," Harry said softly, looking at the frantic Umbridge. "Fudge sent you to Azkaban, not me."
