Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

After Gemma finished speaking, the courtroom fell into a terrible silence, as if everyone here was dead.

Except for Lilith and the members of Justice Law, everyone's face showed a strange look of terror.

Dozens of eyes fell on Barty Crouch.

Old Buddy has short gray hair, which he usually keeps neatly combed. Today, his hair is as messy as his heart.

Apparently, Barty Crouch Jr. is dead.

Died in Azkaban.

But Old Barty knew that Little Barty did not really die. It was Old Barty's wife who died in prison.

This is a terrible secret.

Because there is a shocking truth hidden inside!

A truth that, if revealed, could destroy Barty Sr. and the Crouch family!

Old Batty always thought that only he knew.

But how did Lilith know?

Anyway, it doesn't matter now.

When Gemma said his name, old Barty knew he was finished.

A blood vessel appeared on Old Batty's forehead and throbbed.

His face also turned red, a sign of high blood pressure.

Everyone saw this scene, and gradually, old Batty's eyes were filled with despair.

"Plop!"

Old Batty's legs weakened and he couldn't support himself and fell to the ground!

Even when he fell to the ground, his legs could not stop shaking.

Seeing Old Barty like this, the wizards present were filled with confusion.

Fudge swallowed hard and said softly: "Can we start?"

"You can do it at any time," Lilith said calmly, gesturing to the members of the Justice Law, "bring the defendant to the trial chair."

As she spoke, she strode towards the judgment seat in the middle.

Fudge and Amelia Bones looked at each other and followed.

The wizards in the entire courtroom took action, sitting down step by step, each performing their duties.

But the two lawyers encountered difficulties in helping old Barty.

Old Barty... was no longer able to stand up.

He was lying heavily on the ground like a dead corpse, his eyes were lifeless, and his whole body exuded an aura of despair.

No one knows what he is thinking.

A lawyer said: "Please keep some dignity for yourself, sir. We don't want to curse you."

He just graduated from Hogwarts Ravenclaw Academy this year. He agrees with the concept of just law and devoted himself to the legal career as soon as he graduated.

One of the concepts of just law is to treat criminals as wizards, and criminals also have human rights.

When dealing with criminals, justice and law never use magic like Aurors do.

This is also one of the reasons why the remaining problems in Azkaban can be solved smoothly.

Old Batty knew this, but he didn't react at all.

The other lawyer sighed and said to Leon: "Ask the Auror to take action."

Leon used magic to "send" old Barty to the judgment chair without any psychological burden.

Old Barty looked like a puddle of mud, slumped on the chair.

The wizard watching the scene has already confirmed Old Barty's crime.

It's really hard to believe Old Barty with this self-inflicted appearance.

At the same time, I am even more curious, what on earth did Old Batty do?

People started whispering to each other.

"cough."

Lilith cleared her throat. Everyone's eyes focused on her.

Lilith's dress was very ordinary, she just tied her blond hair into a ponytail, but she didn't know if she had used a body transformation technique to make her look a few years older than her original age.

Her pretty face showed a dignity and severity that was inconsistent with her age.

The expression on his face was intimidating.

Lilith's eyes met all the eyes, and they looked at each other one by one.

The scene quickly became quiet.

"Allegation."

Lilith's cold voice echoed in the courtroom.

"The defendant committed the following crimes..."

Coming.

The wizards were shocked.

Old Barty trembled, raised his head and looked at Lilith blankly.

Lilith pulled out a piece of parchment from a pile of documents and read aloud:

"Using Polyjuice Potion to make his wife switch identities with Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. to die on her behalf."

"After his son Barty Jr. was rescued from Azkaban, he used the Imperius Curse to control his behavior."

“Knowing that the above behavior clearly violates the law, but still continuing to carry out it – knowing the law and breaking the law.”

The courtroom was silent.

Lilith scanned the venue and continued: "The above behavior violates the "Ministry of Magic Officials Violation Regulations", the "Reasonable Restraint of Ministry of Magic Officials Act", and the "Prohibition of Unforgivable Curses Regulations."

After saying that, Lilith looked around the audience again.

Except for Dumbledore who was able to remain calm, the other people's facial expressions - Lilith swore they were the most wonderful she had ever seen in her life.

Fudge looked shocked and turned as red as a pig.

Director Bones' eyebrows were raised high, and his monocle seemed to be about to slip off.

The head Auror seemed shocked and angry, his hair shaking like a lion's mane.

Lockhart looked confused.

The judges of the Wizengamot began to discuss, and their voices gradually became noisy.

The previous emotions of surprise and fear gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere became even weirder.

"Do you have any objection? Mr. Crouch." Bones asked as usual, although she knew that there was probably no objection.

Old Batty didn't make a sound. His eyes were wide open, as if he was recalling what happened at that time.

Fudge came back to his senses and looked at Justice Law: "Does the plaintiff have evidence to prove the defendant's behavior?"

"have."

Gemma stood up.

A report was submitted.

"This is the identity verification of Barty Jr. who died in Azkaban. After the polyjuice potion expired, the person pretending to be Barty Jr. naturally revealed her true face. She is Barty Sr.'s wife and Barty Jr.'s

Mother."

The report begins to circulate.

Fudge was stunned and said in surprise: "You conducted identity checks on the criminals who died in Azkaban?"

"Yes, Minister." Lilith said calmly.

She blinked her beautiful eyelashes and said to everyone: "The just law will not wrongly accuse any wizard, and it will never miss the trial of any criminal."

Conduct identity checks on criminals.

Also a reason for Justice Law to quickly resolve the remaining issues in Azkaban.

Through identity verification, justice and law have rehabilitated many criminals.

The wizards who learned the truth expressed their praise one after another.

Bones looked at Lilith with eyes filled with admiration.

This is a sign of respect for wizards.

Fudge's face turned livid.

He thought of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew.

At this moment, he was glad that the incident between these two people happened in the past, otherwise he would have been caught by Lilith.

Lilith's reputation may really be reaching its peak.

"ladies and gentlemen."

Gemma smiled: "We still have a key piece of evidence."

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted to Gemma.

Gemma said word by word: "In other words, a key witness - Winky, the house elf of the Crouch family."

When old Batty heard "Twinkle", he regained his strength and stood up suddenly.

The body jumped out!

"Stop!" Leon, who was on guard for a long time, raised his wand: "Imprison him quickly!"

"Crack!"

Old Batty stood there like a soldier standing at attention.

Two lawyers came over and dragged Old Barty back to the trial chair.

"Tie his hands and feet."

Lilith ordered calmly.

No one had any objection.

There are four chains on the judgment chair.

Leon came over and roughly tied old Barty's limbs.

There is a big iron ball attached to the end of the chain.

"Bring witnesses."

Bones shouted.

"According to the Wizengamot Charter of Rights, either the plaintiff or the defendant has the right to invite witnesses to appear in court to testify for them."

She looked at Dumbledore, who nodded and said yes.

Lockhart volunteered to bring Winky over, but Winky had already been captured by the wizard of justice and law.

After a while, they came back.

"In view of the special nature of house elves not being able to betray their masters, I have specially approved the use of Veritaserum."

Lilith made a decision.
