Hogwarts Card Drawer

Kronos tidied his hair, he didn't dare to stay here. He was afraid that Dumbledore would come out looking for him. .

Fortunately, Dumbledore and they chatted long enough that when Chronos returned, the door to the minister's office was still closed as if they had never come out.

"Where have you been? Chronos." Dumbledore's voice came from behind Chronos.

Chronos was startled, and he turned to see Dumbledore standing behind him, looking at him.

"Hmm...professor. I had a stomachache just now, so I went to the toilet." Kronos said the reason he had thought up on the way.

"Oh. But the bathroom of the Ministry of Magic is hard to find. When I first came here, I went around a lot." Dumbledore said something intentionally or unintentionally.

"Indeed, Professor. I also found it at the left corner of the second basement floor after asking the staff working in the main hall." Kronos counteracted Dumbledore's temptation calmly. Fortunately, he kept an eye out and actually went to the bathroom before returning.

"Dumbledore is a man who controls people too much. He likes to keep everything firmly in his hands. It's as if everything in the wizarding world is his pawn."

Chronos was also unhappy with Dumbledore's inaction on many matters in the wizarding world. (For example, he advocated equality for all in the magic world and opposed the forces of dark wizards, but he did not try to change the privileged status of "pure blood nobles" in a practical sense, nor did he attack the soil where dark forces breed (such as Knockdown Alley, magic Ministry and certain Hogwarts interest groups).)

"We should go, Connelly is already waiting for us in the tenth courtroom." Dumbledore's voice interrupted Chronos' thinking.

The courtroom is located on the tenth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, and there are ten courtrooms in total. It was built to try criminals who violated the regulations of the Ministry of Magic. Harry was also tried for casting the Patronus Charm in front of Dudley.

The Inquisition is a governing body called the Wizengamot. The Wizengamot is an organization that predates the Ministry of Magic and is now a combined court and parliament. Composed of about fifty members, the highest officer is known as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot (Dumbledore has been the chief wizard of the Wizengamot for a long time). Members of the Wizengamot all wear fuchsia robes with a delicate silver "W" embroidered on the left breast.

"Professor, why are you going to the courtroom?" Kronos was a little puzzled.

"I persuaded Connelly to summon all the wizards of the Wizengamot. If the magic circle you created is really recognized, they will witness it sooner or later." Dumbledore did not look back at the front explain. .

"And I consider that your magic circle is too powerful. And the courtroom was originally used to judge those dark wizards, so the walls of the courtroom are all built with forbidden magic stones. It is the carrier of your magic circle, He's a good magic absorber."

Chronos nodded, he admitted that Dumbledore had thought well. And the wizards of the Wizengamot can also be said to be the actual power holders of the Ministry of Magic.

"Here we are." The elevator descended for about five minutes this time, showing its depth.

Dumbledore held Chronos' hand intimately: "Follow me, boy."

The courtroom is not very big, there is a chair in the middle, and directly facing it is the presiding judge's sofa high above, on which a stout little man is sitting. The surrounding walls were painted extremely dark, and the light from the torches was dim and gloomy. On either side of it is a row of rising empty benches, which surround the chair in the middle in a semicircle.

"It seems that Connelly has not told them the purpose of coming." Dumbledore smiled, and then pulled Chronos into it.

Dumbledore's appearance silenced the sound in the room. Everyone turned their attention to Dumbledore and Chronos.

Well, Chronos admits he's a bit overwhelmed. Their gazes seemed to strip Kronos naked, even in his previous life Kronos had never broken the law, let alone entered the courtroom.

Dumbledore took Chronos to the middle chair. Chronos saw the iron chains on the armrest of the chair, one on the left and one on the right. Chronos sat on top, and Dumbledore stood behind Chronos. This made Kronos feel a lot better.

On the sofa in the middle of the row of benches in front of him sat the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. This was the first time Chronos had seen the Minister of Magic. Fudge was a big fat man in a lime green bowler hat and had a smile on his face.

"Very well, all here," said Fudge. Then he got up and looked around. "Dumbledore came to me today and told me about their first year at Hogwarts..."

"Chronos Slughorn, Minister." Dumbledore reminded him from behind.

"Oh, yes. Mr. Chronos Slughorn has created a magic item that is more powerful than a wand. So let us verify it together."

After finishing speaking, Cornelius Fudge sat down with a smile, and this time Chronos saw clearly. What kind of smile is this? It's obviously a contemptuous ridicule.

As soon as Fudge finished speaking, the surrounding wizards started chirping.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Dumbledore cleared his throat, and the hustle and bustle around him stopped immediately. All eyes are down below.

"Guys, I've already brought people here. Why don't you let him try it out for us? Instead, we're just having a verbal dispute there." It can be seen that Dumbledore has the right to speak. after. The wizards present collectively turned their attention to Cornelius Fudge, who was lying on the sofa.

Fudge straightened himself up and stared at Chronos for a moment. "Then listen to Mr. Dumbledore, let Ke..."

"Chronos Slughorn, Minister." Dumbledore seemed to have endless patience.

"Yes, Chronos Slughorn to cover up."

………………………………………………………………………

There was no surprise, no exclamation, only the sound of the walls breaking. When Kronos released the magic circle and summoned the majestic Vulcan to smash at Cornelius Fudge. Our Minister of Magic appeared very calm, sitting motionless on the comfortable sofa. If Dumbledore hadn't apparated him away, Chronos might have seen the wizard who could resist the magic circle of Volcanum tellus.
