Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts
Chapter 202 Trial
After Anduin and others took their seats, they were already filled with people, mostly Wizengamot MPs, Aurors and reporters.
In the center of the venue stood a two-meter-high metal cage, surrounded by a large number of spikes piercing inwards.
Director Barty Crouch sat in the middle of the courtroom, and Anduin sat next to Dumbledore and Moody.
"Everyone is here, let's get started!" Barty Crouch said after looking around for a week, "The Department of Law Enforcement has interrogated all Death Eaters beforehand, and all Death Eaters have confessed and been sentenced to death.
Taken to Azkaban."
"However, one of the Death Eaters, Igor Karkaroff, expressed his willingness to provide information to the Ministry of Magic in exchange for a reduced sentence or release."
"Today we need to ask you all to jointly judge the intelligence value of the Death Eater's confession and whether it meets the criteria for commutation or release. Each member of the Wizengamot has one vote."
Then Barty Crouch turned his head and looked at Anduin, "This trial is quite special. This is a Death Eater you arrested personally. It involves his freedom. Minister Badno said that Anduin can also enjoy it.
One vote, do you agree with this?"
"agreed, agreed."
The surrounding Wizengamot councilors expressed their opinions one after another, obviously they were not willing to embarrass the newly minted fighting hero on such trivial matters.
"Oh, is this an arrangement because you consider my feelings? Minister Badno is really good at winning people's hearts. Only one vote does not affect the overall situation, but it also shows enough respect." Anduin Ruo
He nodded thoughtfully to Director Crouch.
But I will not vote against it today. The prisoner you are trying is my future younger brother.
"Okay, bring Igor Karkaroff up."
Then there was a sound of gears and chains twisting from the metal cage in the center, and Karkaroff was lifted up along the hole below the cage.
Karkaroff looked at the crowd of onlookers who suddenly appeared around him with some trepidation. Especially after seeing Anduin, he glanced nervously at him from time to time.
But Anduin showed a curious expression as if he were meeting for the first time, which also reminded Karkaroff, and then he stopped looking away and looked seriously at Director Crouch who was directly opposite him.
"Igor Karkarov, at your request, we will give you the opportunity for this trial to provide the council with the intelligence and evidence you know. If the value of your intelligence is judged to be of sufficient value, even
We will consider ordering your release, are you willing to accept this condition?" Director Crouch asked.
"Accept, Lord Secretary." Karkaroff couldn't help but glance at Anduin again, and then nodded in response.
"What are you willing to offer?"
"Name, Death Eater's name!" Karkaroff swallowed and said according to Anduin's arrangement.
"Continue!" Director Crouch asked with interest.
Karkaroff then reported to the director one by one according to the list of Death Eaters he obtained from Anduin, including August Rookwood, the agent of the Department of Mysteries, the Carlo brothers and sisters, Ever
, Rowley Yaxley's brother Cobain Yaxley, etc., except Snape thought he had confessed everything on the list.
The details of his report surprised everyone present. In addition to the crimes committed by those Death Eaters, they even included their current location.
Such a detailed report aroused a burst of criticism from everyone around, including Director Barty Crouch who was stunned when he heard it.
"Finally, there is..." After Karkaroff said this, he couldn't help but glance at Anduin. After seeing the other person's subtle nod, he gritted his teeth and shouted out the name.
"Barty Crouch Jr.!"
What? Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and exclaimed. They all looked at Barty Crouch in the center of the podium, and then turned to look for his son who was also present.
Barty Crouch Jr. was sitting not far from Anduin. In fact, he noticed something was wrong when Karkaroff first confessed. This guy knew too much, and even his current location
I can tell you clearly, it's like having an internal list of Death Eaters.
After Karkaroff called out his name, Barty finally couldn't bear it any longer. With a ferocious face, he wildly pulled out his wand and pointed at him.
"You bastard, traitor! Die! Avada...ah!"
Just when little Barty stood up and prepared to commit murder on the spot, a silver light flashed.
After everyone saw clearly, it turned out to be a silver metal snake. At this time, the silver snake bit Barty Crouch Jr.'s wrist and continued to entangle his arm, instantly interrupting his spellcasting.
In fact, Anduin was already paying attention to Barty Jr. when Karkaroff was about to say his name. As soon as Barty Jr. took out his wand, Anduin quickly cast the Spirit Binding Serpent.
"Catch him, quickly!"
A group of onlookers hurriedly tackled little Barty, and Anduin also took back his spirit snake.
"Damn it, it's all your fault, you little bastard! Anduin Wilson!" Barty Crouch Jr., who was held by the Aurors, looked ferocious when he was dragged past Anduin.
To Anduin, he wished he could swallow him alive on the spot.
Oh, the howl of a defeated dog. Anduin watched coldly as little Barty was dragged away by the Aurors, without reacting to his curse.
"If it weren't for Karkaroff's innocence, I wouldn't let you go so easily." Anduin thought to himself.
"Good guy, Anduin, you react quickly enough. I thought something was wrong with that kid before, but I didn't expect that he was actually a Death Eater." Moody beside him happily patted Anduin on the shoulder.
"It's just good luck. I couldn't even pull out my wand." Anduin shook his head slightly.
Barty Crouch Jr. was actually a Death Eater. This surprising news still echoed in the venue, even leaving Barty Crouch, who was involved, speechless for a moment.
The scene fell into a commotion for a while, and Minister Crouch did not react until Dumbledore stood up.
"quiet!"
After being shocked by Dumbledore, everyone calmed down.
But the trial will still continue, but Director Barty Crouch seems to have not recovered from this shocking news.
"As the father of Barty Crouch Jr., and as a party involved, I am no longer qualified to preside over this trial." Director Crouch seemed to have come back to his senses and raised his head to look at Dumbledore, "Dumbledore
, I’ll ask you to handle the rest of the interrogation.”
After saying that, Director Crouch staggered down from the rostrum and walked out of the courtroom with a heavy heart.
