The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

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

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

Dozens of eyes fell on Barty Crouch.

Barty Sr. has short gray hair, which he usually combs neatly, but today his hair is... messy like his heart.

On the surface, Barty Crouch Jr. is dead.

Died in Azkaban.

But old Batty knew that little Batty didn't really die, it was old Batty's wife who died in prison.

It's a terrible secret.

Because there is a sensational truth hidden in it!

A truth that, if revealed, would be enough to destroy old Batty 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 pronounced his name, Barty Sr. knew he was done.

A blood vessel popped out of Old Batty's forehead, throbbing.

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 went limp, unable to hold on, and fell to the ground!

Even if he fell to the ground, his legs could not be controlled: trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing the old Batty like this, the wizards present had a clue in their hearts.

Fudge swallowed hard, and said softly, "Shall we start?"

"Anytime," Lilith said calmly, gesturing to members of the Justice Law, "bring the defendant to the trial chair."

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

Fudge and Amelia Bones looked at each other and followed.

The wizards in the entire courtroom took action, and they all sat down step by step, performing their duties.

However, the two lawyers encountered difficulties in helping Barty Sr.

Old Batty...has been unable to stand up.

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

No one knows what he is thinking.

A lawyer said: "Please do yourself a favor, sir. We don't want to cast spells on you."

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

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

Justice law never uses magic the way Aurors do when it comes to criminals.

This is one reason why the legacy of Azkaban was successfully resolved.

These old Batty are clear, but he has no reaction.

Another lawyer sighed and said to Leon, "Aurors please do it."

Leon used magic to "send" old Batty to the trial chair without any psychological burden.

Looking at the old Batty who was slumped on the chair like a puddle of mud.

The wizard watching the scene has confirmed the crime of old Batty.

It's really hard to believe old Batty with this self-confessed appearance.

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

People started whispering.

"cough."

Lilith cleared her throat. All eyes were 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 body transformation, she looked a few years older than her original age.

On her pretty face, there was a majesty and sternness that did not match her age.

The look on his face was daunting.

Lilith's eyes meet all eyes, one by one.

The scene quickly quieted down.

"Allegation."

Lilith's cold voice echoed in the courtroom.

"The defendant committed the following crimes..."

coming.

The wizards were shocked.

Old Batty shivered, raised his head and stared blankly at Lilith.

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

"Using Polyjuice Potion to make his wife swap identities with Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr."

"Using the Imperius Curse to control his behavior after saving his son Barty Jr. from Azkaban."

"Knowing that the above actions clearly violate the law, they still continue to carry out—knowing the law and breaking the law."

The courtroom was silent.

Lilith scanned the venue, and continued: "The above actions violated the "Regulations on Offenses by Officials of the Ministry of Magic", the "Reasonable Restraints on Officials of the Ministry of Magic", and the "Regulations on Prohibition of Unforgivable Curses."

After speaking, Lilith looked around the audience again.

Apart from Dumbledore's ability to remain calm, the facial expressions of the others - Lilith swears, were the best she had ever seen in her life.

Fudge looked shocked. As red as a pig.

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

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

Lockhart grumbled.

The judges of the Wizengamot began to murmur, and the voices grew more and more noisy.

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

"Do you have any objections? Mr. Crouch." Burns asked in accordance with the usual practice, although she knew most likely not.

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 actions?"

"have."

Gemma stood up.

A report was submitted.

"This is the identity verification of Barty Jr. who died in Azkaban. After the compound potion expired, the person who pretended to be Barty Jr. naturally revealed his true face. She is Barty Jr.'s wife, Barty Jr. Mother."

The report was circulated.

Fudge was stunned, and said in surprise: "Have you conducted an identity check on the criminals who died in Azkaban?"

"Yes, Minister." Lilith said calmly.

She blinked her beautiful eyelashes, and said to everyone: "Justice and law will not wrong any wizard, and will never miss the trial of any criminal."

Conduct identity checks on criminals.

Also one of the reasons why the Justice Laws quickly resolved the legacy of Azkaban.

By verifying identities, the law of justice rehabilitated many criminals.

The wizards who learned the truth all expressed their praise.

Burns looked at Lilith with appreciation.

This is a manifestation of considerable respect for wizards.

Fudge's face turned livid.

He thought of Sirius Black and Pettigrew.

At this moment, he was glad that what happened to these two people happened in the past, otherwise he would be caught by Lilith.

Lilith's popularity may really be peaking.

"ladies and gentlemen."

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

All eyes were immediately attracted to Gemma.

Gemma said word by word: "Or, a key witness—the house elf of the Crouch family, Winky."

Old Batty heard "Winning", came back with all his strength, and stood up abruptly.

He threw himself out!

"Stop!" Leon, who had been on guard for a long time, raised his wand: "Quickly imprison!"

"Snapped!"

Barty Sr. stood in place like a soldier standing at attention.

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

"Bound his hands and feet."

Lilith ordered calmly.

Everyone has no objection.

There are four chains attached to the judgment chair.

Leon came over and roughly tied Batty's limbs.

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

"Bring witnesses."

Burns shouted.

"According to the Wizengamot Charter of Rights, the plaintiff or the defendant has the right to have witnesses appear in court to testify against him."

She looked at Dumbledore, who nodded yes.

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

After a while, they came back.

"In view of the particularity that house elves are not allowed to betray their masters, I specifically approve the use of Veritaserum."

Lilith made a decisive decision.
