Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss
Chapter 95 Justice Lilith
Speaking of which, house elves were used as a breakthrough point.
This trick was inspired by Lilith from Hermione.
Hermione's plan to speak out for the house elves made Lilith discover the flaw in Old Barty.
If the person who died in Azkaban was not Barty Jr., then where exactly is Barty Jr.?
There's only one place to go, and that's his home, the Crouch family.
And as a house elf, Winky couldn't possibly not know.
Leon quickly poured the truth serum into Twinkle.
Twinkle blinked her eyes, her eyes becoming hollow.
Lilith said sharply: "Is Barty Crouch Jr. hiding in the Crouch family?"
This question touched the most secret part of Twinkle's heart, and its face became panicked, trying to stop itself from telling the truth.
But Winky couldn't resist the Veritaserum, and the potion took effect.
"Yes, yes." Twinkle lowered her head.
"Who hid him?"
"My...my master."
"Say his name!"
"Barty Crouch."
"Describe the whole thing without leaving out a single detail."
"yes……"
Twinkle made a trembling, sharp sound.
"Little Barty...in the first few days he was imprisoned in Azkaban, he screamed for his mother in the cell...but later due to the suppression of the dementors, he became quiet..."
"In 1982, his mother's health deteriorated rapidly as her son was in prison, and Barty Jr.'s health also deteriorated due to severe depression caused by prison..."
"K, Mrs. Crouch asked Old Barty to visit her children."
"She convinced her husband to take Polyjuice Potion, take her son's place, and smuggle him out of Azkaban."
"Soon after, she died and was buried outside Azkaban as Barty Jr."
Having said this, many wizards nodded, holding the identity verification reports in their hands and getting conclusive testimony.
Shining's tone became urgent, and what happened next was the biggest secret.
"Little Barty was brought back to the family and recovered to health under my care."
"But Barty Jr. is still devoted to the Dark Lord...and Barty Sr. is trying to subdue his son, protect his son's secrets from the public, and prevent him from finding Voldemort."
"Finally, Old Barty used the Imperius Curse on Little Barty! Forced Little Barty to hide in the invisibility cloak!"
After Shining said this, she suddenly lost all her strength.
Leon immediately controlled it to prevent it from committing suicide after the medicine wore off.
"I've finished asking, do you still have any questions?"
Lilith scanned the area lightly.
What Twinkle said was pretty much what she thought.
It's true that the Crouch family has an invisibility cloak, which Lilith didn't expect.
"No."
"No more, Justice."
"The facts are very clear."
The judges of the Wizengamot shook their heads.
The truth comes out!
"Very good," Lilith nodded slightly and stared at Old Barty sternly, "Defendant, what else do you want to state?"
Old Batty didn't speak for a long time.
Ever since he sat on the judgment chair, he seemed to have lost his soul.
Lilith is not in a hurry, she must make Old Barty confess in person today!
"Mr. Crouch, your life is more exciting than most wizards. Why do you break the law when it comes to your son?"
"You don't understand..."
Old Batty suddenly spoke weakly.
He raised his head and looked at Lilith with complicated eyes.
"Lilith...if you replaced me with your grandfather, he would do the same thing."
Huh, are you playing the emotional card with me?
Lilith was unmoved.
Old Barty smiled miserably: "Your grandfather watched me grow up, your father watched little Barty grow up, and I watched you grow up! The friendship between our two families lasts more than two hundred years!!!"
Having said this, Old Batty seemed to have regained his power and majesty as director.
I was just stunned from shock before.
Only now did he remember that the chief judge who tried him was from the Pilivik family.
This made old Batty even more angry.
"Why are you doing this to me! You're holding on to me and won't let go!"
Old Barty glared at Lilith.
"I know, you want to push me down and then you sit in Bones' seat!"
"But why are you anxious! You are too anxious - you are only 15 years old! That seat will be yours sooner or later!"
"You judged me! Your Uncle Crouch! The public will say you are callous! No one will befriend you! You have ruined two families!"
"Whoosh!"
The chains on his hands and feet shook as Old Batty struggled.
Old Batty was extremely excited.
The crime was revealed, her son was about to be arrested, and she couldn't protect herself, so Lilith took action.
Completely defeated old Batty.
He roared angrily.
"You destroyed the Crouches and the Pilvics!"
"An ancient pure-blood family, a legal family that has been in power for generations!"
"Everything was ruined by you!"
Roaring and roaring, old Batty burst into tears.
Many wizards secretly looked at Lilith.
As Old Barty said, since the Ministry of Magic was founded.
More than 80% of the directors of the Legal Enforcement Department come from the Crouch family and the Pilivic family.
Now Lilith does this...
They thought that Lilith would be slightly moved after hearing Old Barty's last words.
However.
Lilith knocked heavily on the table in front of her.
"Mr. Crouch, your understanding of the law has gone awry."
"Between the law of mercy and the law of mercy, I chose the latter."
"Because I know that the law can be changed. If I don't stand up, maybe in a few years, the law will be changed to a law that is beneficial to you."
"You have too much time to think about these issues in the future, so let us vote."
"The defendant's words are equivalent to a personal admission of guilt. If you agree with the accusation, please raise your hands."
Lilith was the first to raise her hand, but she was not affected at all.
Next, Fudge, Bones.
Then there's Dumbledore, all the judges of the Wizengamot.
"Unanimous vote passed."
Lilith said loudly.
"It appears there is no need for a vote to dismiss the charges."
"I now pronounce the verdict. Barty Crouch - stripped of his position as Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, his wand confiscated, and imprisoned in Azkaban for life imprisonment."
Old Batty gasped for air and fell on the trial chair.
There was no mercy in Lilith's eyes.
"Mr. Percy, have you written all this down?"
"Taken it down! Judge." Percy said excitedly.
"Very good, send it to the Daily Prophet editorial office. If they are quick enough, they can catch up with today's daily newspaper."
"Yes, yes!"
Percy held the parchment recording the meeting like a treasure and ran out happily.
Fudge had an angry look on his face. He must have said these words, right?
Fudge believes that only ministers can mobilize the power of public opinion.
But Lilith wasn't done yet.
She glanced at the head of the Auror Office sitting in the back.
"Director Rufus Scrimgeour, please send someone to the Crouch family immediately to arrest Barty Crouch Jr.!"
"If you are very efficient, we can still get a result on Barty Crouch Jr.'s trial before the sun sets."
"I will lead the team myself."
The head Auror spoke concisely, but you could tell he was angry.
Lockhart volunteered to go with him, but he was ordered to stay.
"Yes, sir." Lockhart agreed readily, his face showing no signs of surprise.
But Leon's face changed slightly, and it could be seen that the director was still afraid of them.
The other wizards didn't pay attention to this. They noticed the time and it was already past lunch time.
This means the trial lasted four hours.
However, the wizards present did not feel the passage of time.
They are all wizards who are skilled in trials and have attended hundreds of trials.
This is the first time they have witnessed a trial like today.
Many Wizengamot judges looked at Lilith with eyes full of praise.
Although it is her first time to serve as a justice, Lilith's control of the trial, the psychology of the criminals, and the rhythm of the trial have already reached a perfect level.
Even Dumbledore, as Lord Chancellor, could not do better than Lilith.
Fudge was the only one who looked unhappy.
What Lilith said to the Auror Director just now made Fudge extremely confused.
Mobilizing Aurors is the minister's power!
The demeanor of these people was completely ignored by Lilith.
She leaned back in the armchair and closed her eyes to relax.
Barty Crouch Jr.…
It's also a tough bone.
But there is no doubt that I will take him down.
What we won together is the glorious future of justice and law!
