In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"He came to find me. The so-called transfer of me from the Department of International Magical Cooperation to the Secretariat of the Minister's Office was for this purpose."

In Dumbledore's office, the old man eating pineapple preserves said with a smile.

Dumbledore rubbed his brow, he had no free time at all during this period.

"How did you answer him?"

The old man licked the remaining frosting on his fingers, then spread his hands and said.

"What else can I say? Since he treats me with such great trust, I naturally have to tell the truth. Although that thing is difficult to practice, there is no way I can be worse than Snape, but its The difficulty is that early refining requires a lot of materials to enhance the feel. To ensure success every time, I need to have at least five production experiences. If I can completely replace Snape, he needs to give me time."

Dumbledore asked calmly.

"Then what?"

"Then of course he made me one of his first preparations. Since he has the ability to make this kind of potion and can also guarantee the loyalty of people, there is no one else but me who is the most suitable. Of course, Snape At the same time, he has also stepped up his efforts and made preparations to capture Snape again. No matter what method he uses, it will naturally be his first choice to make him willingly serve him again."

After saying this, the old man wiped his hands and asked incomprehensibly.

"I actually still can't figure it out. What did you say about Snape? Is it really just his master's abandonment that made him completely heartbroken? I didn't see how loyal he was before?"

Faced with this problem, Dumbledore showed some emotion.

"It's not that he wasn't very loyal before, but he has never been loyal to anyone. In your eyes, he is cunning, evil, and cunning, but in fact all the choices he makes are very simple, and their simplicity is unexpected."

The old man frowned.

"When will you change your bad habit of making people guess riddles?"

"Wait until you don't need me anymore." Dumbledore smiled, winked, and stood up from his seat.

The old man also stood up.

"Now that you have settled down in France, some students can already see my name working in the UK from some information. Do they have any reaction?"

"It hasn't aroused any big suspicion yet, because few photos of you have been leaked, and they just thought it was someone with the same name. After all, you have been dead for almost three years, and no one thinks that your death was fake. "

Slughorn, who didn't know when he appeared in France, couldn't help curling his lips when he heard Dumbledore's words.

"At least my students found it on the spot, didn't they? Thinking about that night now, it really scared me. If you didn't help me get the wand back, you would be really shameless as a teacher."

They walked towards the outside of the office. Not many professors and students passed by in the corridor. Even if there were people, there was no way to tell who Slughorn was from his current appearance.

Dumbledore said softly as he led Slughorn towards the outside of the house.

"Your students have shocked everyone over the years. Let's take a look. We had a lot of internal disputes about how to properly deal with these people brought back from the UK. As a result, Jon on the side asked I made a suggestion that I thought was very good. Some people still had some doubts about this, so they simply used Hogwarts as a pilot first. After all, this time we also brought back many former Hogwarts students."

Slughorn nodded and said.

"Actually, it's not a problem if we just punish these purebloods. Unless someone is deliberately covering up, there won't be any problems as long as they are dealt with strictly. The key point is how to solve this kind of problem caused by the Dark Lord now. The concept of bloodline. Although there were bloodline disputes in the past, they were always kept secretly. Now they have been solidified into policies and implemented in the UK for more than ten years. For French wizards, this kind of thinking is fine. It’s not yet deeply ingrained, but for British wizards, it’s different.”

Dumbledore said in agreement.

"Yes, you are right. This has also been discovered by the students we brought back from Hogwarts Castle. Pure-blood and mixed-blood students are arrogant and arrogant for no reason, and treat hemps according to their blood. Indifferent and cruel. There are also those senior students brought back from the UK. Our people have tried their best to correct their original modified memories these days, but their cowardice and inferiority and their reverence for blood are engraved in their bones. There is no way to make such a simple change. It is for this reason that there have been a lot of discussions within the Wuping Line. This is only a problem we face in France. If Britain is really recaptured in the future, what will happen to the whole country? How do we redirect the wizards in Britain who have been ruled by the blood class for so long to become normal people?”

"Jon made a very interesting proposal at that meeting. He said that it is difficult to change the habits once formed, especially the established concept of superiority and inferiority, but we can use the trial of purebloods to Make a fuss about it and conduct a large-scale public trial. It is similar to a public court. In front of everyone, every pureblood who has been confirmed guilty will be tried one by one, and the once oppressed will be made public as witnesses. Tell everyone about the treatment you have experienced, and in the end, everyone present will decide what kind of punishment the person on trial should receive."

After thinking for a long time, Slughorn clapped his hands with emotion.

"A great idea. This should be an emotional release. As long as the suppressed emotions of the oppressors are stimulated, no one will want to be a groveling slave all the time."

"It's probably about to start now, so let's go take a look first."

Dumbledore led Slughorn to the open space outside the school, which was already crowded with students.

Among them, it is obvious that there are many different groups with clear boundaries. The largest group is naturally the mixed-blood and pure-blood students of the former Hogwarts Castle who are classified separately. Divided into two groups, a small part of them are mixed-race. They are all people who have not done anything evil in the school after careful verification and interviews in the Order of the Phoenix.

But there are still a large number of people who are currently being managed by McGiver and others, lining up in front of a high platform.

Most of these students' faces clearly showed a forced composure, while some younger students couldn't even maintain their "pride of blood" and looked around in panic.

The next most numerous are of course the students in the Hogwarts carriage. There are many chairs arranged around the high platform. They are sitting on these chairs and watching the castle students who are waiting for the trial and whispering to each other. Saying something softly.

Next to the students on the carriage, there was a small group of restless students. These people were obviously the Mug students who had been oppressed in Hogwarts Castle. They seemed to be very uncomfortable with the current situation of being exposed openly and openly. Especially since they were sitting while the pure-blood and mixed-blood students were standing.

After all the pure-blood and mixed-blood students who had their wands confiscated were handed over to the six or seven-year-old students on the carriage, McGonagall, Flitwick and Lupine walked up to the high platform and sat at the long table on one side of the high platform. , the three of them are the final judges, and they are also a guarantee to prevent the enthusiastic students below from demanding the maximum penalty no matter what kind of guilt they hear.

Dumbledore took Slughorn, who no one could recognize at this time, and sat at the front of the audience. They did not serve as referees, but only as spectators of this large-scale wizarding social experiment.

"Jon told me that he was not the first to use this method." Dumbledore said softly. "He said that as early as decades ago, some Muggles used this method to stimulate and awaken those who were oppressed. People who have become numb.”

Slughorn said nothing because the public trial had already begun.

Mag acted as the chief judge in this special trial court. After maintaining order at the scene, she announced the start of the trial.

At this time, everyone in the audience fell silent, and all looked at the pure-blood student who was first brought to the high platform.

It was a wizard who looked very old, definitely a seventh grader who was about to graduate.

He was brought to the high platform, and no seat was provided. He stood alone facing everyone else, and everyone present looked at him.

This obviously made him feel more nervous and panicked. He still barely maintained a calm expression on his face, but with his white lips and trembling hands, anyone could see the uneasiness in his heart.

"Ganos Flint, former seventh-year pureblood student at Hogwarts Castle."

Mag's voice was very cold as he revealed the identity of the student standing on the high platform, and at the same time read out the crime he was accused of based on the parchment in his hand.

"You are accused of intimidating Asia Connaird, a mixed-blood student, into surrendering to you, and using Hedda Freud and others who were also pure-blooded to threaten death against Miss Connaird. , to further persecute and eventually lead to her death, yes or no?"

After hearing Mag's words, most of the students on the carriage in the audience below were stunned for a moment.

They originally didn't think of this public trial as anything, they just thought it was a special extracurricular activity. Even if the students in the castle were bad, how bad could they be?

In any case, Hogwarts Castle was once a school, and nothing outrageous would happen.

But after hearing the charges against the first pure-blood student to be tried, many people were a little unbelievable. They didn't expect that the first pure-blood student to be tried would be accused of murder!

Flint denied loudly with a trembling voice.

"No! I didn't do any of this! We were originally in love, it was all Freud, and it was all done by that vicious woman!"

There were voices of discussion in the audience, but Mag's expression remained unchanged as she continued.

"Bring the witnesses."

Soon, three people were brought up from under the high platform, and all three of them were girls. After they stood on the high platform, they all felt a little embarrassed, especially the two girls who were brought up from the team that was about to be judged. Even more uneasy.

"Villet Starr, Celia Peck, you are all former seventh-year pure-blood students at Hogwarts Castle. In your confessions, you confessed that you had participated in the attack on Miss Connelly's campus. Violent incident, and the cause of this violence was because your friend, Miss Freud, who was not present, was jealous of Miss Connair, thinking that she had won the favor of Mr. Flint, wasn't it? "

Freud's two pale-faced chicks nodded like pecking at rice.

"Yes!"

"Does Mr. Flint know anything about this?"

The two followers secretly glanced at Flint, who was standing in the middle of the high platform, and found that he was also looking at them imploringly. However, after knowing that they were just accomplices and their guilt could be reduced as long as they confessed honestly, the two of them did not hesitate. The former "Master Flint" was betrayed.

"He is aware!" the follower surnamed Starr yelled, "He knows everything Freud did in the past. At that time, Conrad had been avoiding him and was not interested in him. Show your love and reject it in every possible way!”

The follower named Peck also shouted.

"We heard from Flint's friends that he once boasted to his roommates that he deliberately allowed Floyd to bully Connaird so that he could take advantage of him and create the best opportunities for him."

Their confessions caused a burst of boos from the audience below, which was a disdain for Flint's previous remarks about consensual love.

McGonagall turned her attention to the last witness.

"Misty Mesa, you were Ms. Connair's roommate. Regarding her relationship with Mr. Flint, you testified that she was afraid of Mr. Flint's advances."

"Yes, she was extremely scared!" Mesa seemed to have summoned up all his courage, "Wizards of different bloodlines in the UK are not allowed to intermarry. Even if they just have a relationship, it is a crime for the lower bloodline party! So she has always been afraid of this, but she couldn’t resist!”

After hearing the testimonies of these three people, Flint's face turned extremely pale. He knew that his biggest lie had been exposed. The main reason why Asiya would be reduced to that was because of his coercion!

The noise in the audience below became louder, and many of them were scolding and scorning Flint's behavior.

Slughorn, who was sitting in the audience, noticed the reactions of the innocent mixed-bloods and the former Castle Mock students who were sitting below in fear.

This is not a tragedy between the blooded and the non-blooded, but it is more suitable to be placed as the first scene as a public trial.
