Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs
Chapter 9 Assault on the Wizengamot
Amelia Burns nodded: "Then I must leave."
"Excuse me for being rude."
After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the seat, then walked around behind Harry and walked out of the door.
During this process, all the other wizards present chose to remain silent, including Fudge.
Only Umbridge, who was sitting on Fudge's right hand, flashed an uncontrollable happy smile on her face.
Harry's testimony then continued.
Things began to become more and more troublesome, and people kept talking, as if they were trying to figure out all the irrelevant details.
But in the end, when Harry himself didn't believe himself, it seemed that this statement was believed by the wizards in attendance.
"If this is really the case..."
A witch glanced at Harry, then turned to look at Fudge: "I'm afraid the first one to be tried is the Ministry of Magic."
A flash of anger flashed across Fudge's face.
"I'll ask Amelia..."
But the witch shook her head: "We all know that the Dementors are under the management of the Minister of Magic himself. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has no power to interfere at all. Could it be said that the Minister has handed over such an important matter to Amy?" Leah Burns?"
Fudge was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't thought about it at all.
When Harry told him about the Dementors just now, Fudge's first reaction was that this was absolutely nonsense and no one believed it.
Moreover, Amelia Burns leaving is only a possibility, so that even in the worst case scenario, the responsibility for the incident lies with Amelia Burns, and Fudge can stay out of the matter.
But Fudge didn't expect that not only would he not be able to escape in the end, but he would become the most suspect person.
At this time, it would be suspicious to admit that the Dementors were still under control, and it would be an even more dangerous dereliction of duty to deny it. Even if he was not so clear about all this, Fudge was still in a dilemma.
Umbridge spoke at the right time: "I believe we are now trying Harry Potter for breach of the Statute of Secrecy."
The old witch just glanced at Umbridge and gave up questioning.
Fudge breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the magic of so-called personal relationships.
As a wizard who has been dedicated to serving as Minister of Magic for twenty years, Fudge still pays great attention to cultivating connections, but there are also various kinds of connections, including Dumbledore and Harry Potter. There is also someone like Umbridge who everyone hates.
Being disliked by everyone is a very good attribute, because quite simply, a person who no one likes can only repay all his enthusiasm to the only person who likes him.
And that's exactly what Umbridge was to Fudge.
This is the emperor's employment strategy that Fudge read from a book in the Far East. Of course, the translator of that book thought this was a very bad habit.
But of course Fudge would not listen to that translation. After all, this poor Muggle would never become the Minister of Magic in his lifetime, and Fudge had been working hard for ten more years.
Of course, if Fudge could talk to Lu Ke, he would know where he went wrong.
At any time, the emperor's mentality of using the person who can be pointed out by a thousand people is only suitable for emperors who want to do extraordinary things, such as a single husband who is single-minded, or a wise king who is pioneering and enterprising. However, a person with a character like Fudge who can only maintain a stable upper position will definitely still be A nice and harmonious group.
The ancient wisdom of the far East cannot be understood by wizards with such a small population and such a special history.
Of course Fudge doesn't care, he's just doing what he wants to do, and so far so good.
Until the door suddenly opened.
Then a wizard walked in.
"Dumbledore?"
Fudge was very shocked and angry. He never expected why Dumbledore would come here.
Because according to the previous notice, it was not yet time for the court session, and Dumbledore should still be at Hogwarts.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Dumbledore did not smile. He seemed to be in a bad mood and just started the trial process: As the chief mage of the Wizengamot, Dumbledore knew these things very well.
He called a witness directly.
"Mrs. Figg?"
Harry was a little surprised, but his surprise didn't matter.
Dumbledore was obviously trusted by the wizards here. They listened to Mrs. Figg's testimony and then unanimously declared Harry innocent.
Fudge and Umbridge watched the whole process without comment.
When everything was over, Mrs. Figg had walked out, and Dumbledore seemed to be leaving, Umbridge suddenly said: "Well, Luke, since you didn't have any testimony in the trial of Harry Potter, Why is it here?"
Lu Ke and Dumbledore, who had already turned around, looked at each other.
His eyes were full of mockery.
Although Lu Ke did not fully support this plan when Dumbledore first mentioned it, Lu Ke was indeed very confident in Umbridge's stupidity.
But everything really went well, and Lu Ke could not help but admire Umbridge.
It's really amazing that a person can be so stupid.
"Lu Ke also violated the law of confidentiality, and even more seriously violated the Animagus Code. He should be grounded in Hogwarts and cannot leave. Since he was in Hogwarts, how did he know about Harry Potter? What happened!"
Dumbledore turned and glanced at Umbridge: "About Lu Ke...the reason why he was banned is that the trial that should have started long ago has never started..."
Umbridge spoke quickly: "The reason the trial has not started is because the Ministry of Magic is still collecting evidence. This requires extra caution to ensure that he is not wronged."
Dumbledore nodded: "But is the current Ministry of Magic still capable of finding enough evidence?"
"I heard there were dementors showing up."
Umbridge smiled, she always had a sweet smile that could be easily seen as fake: "That has nothing to do with this."
Dumbledore shook his head: "Isn't the person responsible for managing the dementors the same person responsible for searching for evidence?"
Umbridge fell silent.
She couldn't understand what Dumbledore was saying.
This is an obvious lie. The Minister of Magic is in charge of Dementors, and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the one who searches for evidence.
Fudge was different. He suddenly found that it was difficult to refute this sentence.
If this statement is true, it's all Amelia Burns.
If this sentence is wrong, then after all, at least the dementors are Fudge's own trouble.
But who knows what Dumbledore would say if admitted to be true.
