The Druid Master of Hogwarts

Surrounded by a sinking-faced Fudge and a group of Aurors, Fish and Dumbledore walked through an empty corridor with no doors or windows beside it, and came to a simple black door at the end. forward.

However, they did not push the door in, but turned to an inconspicuous gap in the left corner, where there was a staircase leading to the tenth floor, and the only one that could lead to the tenth floor.

They went all the way down the stairs, and when they reached the bottom, they were greeted by another corridor.

It was exactly like the hallways at Hogwarts that led to Snape's crypt: rough stone walls with torches in brackets.

Fish and Dumbledore continued to walk, with Fudge closely behind them. As for those Aurors, most of them were left behind, only Dawlish and two other unknown Aurors followed as bodyguards. Fudge's side.

On either side of the hallway were several old, heavy wooden doors with iron latches and keyholes. Dumbledore stopped until he reached a gloomy black door with a large iron lock.

"The tenth courtroom..." He said with emotion: "I didn't expect that after less than a year, I would come back here again, still as the defendant."

"Don't worry, after we convict you, you won't be able to come here for a long time!" Fudge said viciously behind.

Dumbledore turned his head and gave him a faint glance.

This simple action made Fudge take two quick steps back in fright, and even pulled out his wand.

"Ugh……"

With a sigh of disappointment, Dumbledore withdrew his gaze, then pushed open the black door in front of him, and walked in with Fisch.

"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"

Fudge's face flushed instantly, he looked left and right, Dawlish and the other two Aurors lowered their heads, avoiding his sight while pretending to see nothing.

"Ahem," Fudge quickly recovered from his embarrassment, straightening his collar, and said, "Let's go in too."

Fish followed Dumbledore into the dark courtroom and looked around curiously.

The surrounding walls were made of dark stone, and the light of the torches was dim and gloomy. On both sides are rows of gradually rising empty benches, and in front of him, on the highest benches, there are many dark figures.

Feishu's pupils changed a bit, and he immediately adapted to the dim environment here, and at the same time he could see the figures in front of him clearly...

Those were all wearing fuchsia robes with a delicate silver "W" embroidered on the left front chest. After they saw Fish and Dumbledore come in, more than half of them smiled and waved to the cat.

These people are all acquaintances of Fish. Among them are Professor Tofody and other examiners who came to Hogwarts a while ago to invigilate the examination, some of them were met by Fish in St. Mungo’s, and some of them happened to be in St. Mungo’s at that time. See a doctor, and some are visiting patients in the past.

In addition, there are several old wizards about the same age as Professor Tofody, whom Fish met when he went to some parties with Professor McGonagall during the holiday.

The key is……

Fish shook his ears, sniffed again, and then aimed at a dark corner away from the crowd—there was a beetle lying there quietly.

"You guys are so good!"

(?ΦωΦ?)?

Fish withdrew his gaze, then raised his arm and waved it at those in the judgment seat.

Dumbledore brought Fish to the very center of the courtroom, and he sat casually on the chair with the chains wrapped around the armrests.

The chain jingled, but Dumbledore didn't care, he pulled out his wand and shook it slightly to the side, transforming into an armchair with a thick black velvet cushion beside him.

"Fisch, sit here."

Dumbledore pointed to the chair he transformed,

Then he put away his wand, leaned his body back, rested his elbows on the chains of the armrests, butted his long fingertips together, and looked at the Wizengamore members above in a very relaxed posture.

At this moment, Fudge came around from the back and walked to the front row of the group, and sat a witch with a wide body, a square chin, and short gray hair with a monocle, and a thin, well-groomed witch. Between the wizards with their backs and goatees.

He also changed into the purple-red robe at this time, and held a thick stack of parchment documents in his hand.

"Fine," Fudge said. "The defendant is finally here, let's get started. Are the recorders ready?" he asked loudly across the bench.

At the very edge of the front bench, a young wizard answered, with a quill and parchment in hand, ready to record.

"The trial of June 26," said Fudge in a bell-like, but unconvincing voice, "the trial of the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Percival Wulfrick Brian Dumbledore's violation of the Abuse of Magic Ordinance, the Endangering the Safety of Wizards and the Silence Act."

"Interrogators: Connelly Oswald Fudge, Minister of Magic; Amelia Susan Burns, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement; Pierce Guy Hinckness, Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Trial Recorder: Malcolm Covance Clark. Defence witnesses…”

Fudge glanced at the cat, who was sitting beside Dumbledore, dangling restlessly, with a complicated expression, and continued: "Witness for the defense: Fish Robert McGonagall."

At the far end, McCartney was scrambling to record on parchment.

After a moment's pause, Fudge picked up the parchment on top of the stack of documents in front of him, took a deep breath, and read aloud: "Accus the defendant of the following crimes—"

"The defendant attempted to infiltrate the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic at 11:49 p.m. on June 13, after deliberately using an invisibility spell to hide himself, in violation of the Abuse of Magic Regulations. Section 8 of the Witchcraft Safety Act, Section 2 of the Silence Act, and Sections 1 and 5 of the Silence Act."

He put away the parchment and said sternly to the group of jurors next to him: "All of this was witnessed by me and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. The facts are there and the evidence is conclusive, and there is no reason for the accused to argue!"

"I may not remember exactly," Dumbledore said amiably in the face of Fudge's aggressive attitude, "but I believe that under the Wizengamore Charter of Rights, the defendant has the right to defend himself, right? Is this not the case? Isn't that the policy of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Ms. Burns?" he asked the monocle-wearing witch.

"Yes," Ms. Burns said. "It does."

Dumbledore smiled lightly. He glanced at Fudge with a nervous face and said, "First of all, Minister Fudge may not have a good memory. I explained it to you that night. I came to visit on something... Shouldn't the Ministry of Magic prohibit people from visiting at night?" He turned his gaze to the others.

The jury and the other two presiding judges nodded.

Fudge hurriedly retorted: "Then why did you use the Invisibility Charm to hide your figure?!"

"I remember having explained this issue at the time." Dumbledore was still smiling, "I didn't see any receptionists or guards in the main hall, I suspected that the Ministry of Magic was attacked by the enemy, so I chose to hide."

He asked again the question that had left Cornelius Fudge speechless: "Can you, Minister Fudge, explain to me now why you and the Aurors are at the Ministry of Magic, and why the reception and Are the guards evacuated?"

Fudge would have been questioned at the beginning, just because his ability to react on the spot was not very good. After more than ten days of preparation, he had already thought of a countermeasure—

"Because I received a tip that night, some thieves wanted to break into the Department of Mysteries to steal the secrets of the Ministry of Magic. In order to prevent innocent people from being harmed, I arranged for them to hide first!"

After he finished speaking righteously, he looked at Dumbledore proudly and condescendingly.

"Well," Dumbledore nodded lightly, "this statement is acceptable."

However, before Fudge was happy for a while, he changed the subject and asked, "Then why don't you put up a sign in the main hall after arranging for them to leave, or leave a message in other ways to inform the visiting guests that the Ministry of Magic The staff left temporarily because of something, and let them visit by themselves? This way I won't be misunderstood."

"..."

After a moment of embarrassing silence, Fudge said darkly, "I..."
