Chapter 1107 Life imprisonment in Azkaban(2/2)
"Okay, now the court will reopen."
Amelia Bones turned her gaze to the Deputy Minister and said softly: "Dolores Jane Umbridge. You have been accused of abusing your power during your tenure at Hogwarts and instigating the dementors to attack Harry.
Mr. Potter, and used Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse on students at Hogwarts, do you have anything to refute?"
"No, I didn't." Umbridge retorted with excitement: "This is all Harry Potter's slander and revenge."
"During Umbridge's tenure at Hogwarts, a total of 123 educational orders were issued, 123 in one year." Harry admired the excited Umbridge with interest, and moved to the side, away from him.
, to prevent Umbridge from jumping on him.
"Article 67, students who possess sweets purchased from unauthorized suppliers will be expelled. Article 93, gives Umbridge the power to confiscate unauthorized books from students, Article 101, encourage
Students report upcoming suspicious or illegal activities." Harry took out a dozen parchments from his robe pocket, flipped through them casually, and listed three of them, "There are 123 similar regulations in total."
"Or are these 123 educational orders all from the Ministry of Magic and have nothing to do with Umbridge?" Harry asked, narrowing his eyes.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to admit this, as this would be very hateful.
Don't forget, students have families too.
Amelia Bones looked deeply at the pile of parchment in Harry Potter's hand, and then moved her gaze to Umbridge.
Before Amelia Bones could ask, Potter said again: "Oh, by the way, she also likes to confiscate students' wands, hang them up, beat them with whips, and starve them.
I like to use black magic props to punish students. If you need evidence, there are still marks on the back of my hands."
"I can't lie." Harry glanced at the back of his hand and said softly, "Thanks to Umbridge, I have always believed that a person should be honest."
"you……"
Umbridge's face turned red with anger. She finally figured out that she had been plotted by Harry, and everything was for today.
That's why Potter stimulated her to use the Cruciatus Curse that day.
But now I know it's too late.
Amelia Bones glanced at the back of Harry's raised hand. Although she couldn't see the writing on it, Potter undoubtedly didn't need to lie, because this kind of thing would be known through investigation and there was no way to hide it.
Or fake."
"Dolores Jane Umbridge, do you have anything to explain?"
"I'm just fulfilling the tasks given by the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge shouted with a face full of madness: "I admit that what I did was indeed a bit over the line, but at that time the entire Ministry of Magic hoped that Harry Potter could be shut down.
Mouth, I don’t want rumors of the mysterious man’s resurrection to spread, I’m just fulfilling my mission and using my authority to drive away Dumbledore and Potter.”
There was dead silence in the courtroom.
There are some things that can only be done but not said, but Umbridge said it.
A mission from the Ministry of Magic?
No, it should be said that the task given by Cornelius Fudge is more suitable.
Fudge, who remained in the Wizengamot jury box, turned paler and paler, and his lips kept trembling. After a long time, he said tremblingly: "I never ordered her to do that."
Such words obviously cannot deceive other people here. As the highest judicial body for wizards, the members who can appear here are all famous wizards.
No one is a fool.
What Umbridge did was obviously approved by Fudge. As Potter said before, Fudge instructed Umbridge to send dementors to attack Harry Potter.
Amelia Bones took a deep look at her boss. She suspected that Fudge would one day sit there and stand trial. The current situation was indeed not very friendly to Fudge. There were various signs that Fudge might be accused of collusion.
Mystery man.
"Mr. Potter accuses you of using Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse on students at Hogwarts. Do you have anything to refute?"
Not surprisingly, the charge of abuse of power was found. This was the charge that Umbridge was originally charged with, but now this charge... seems to be unimportant.
"I am a victim of Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse." Harry said calmly: "Umbridge used the Cruciatus Curse on me twice not long ago in an attempt to interrogate me about the so-called secret base of the Order of the Phoenix."
"As for Veritaserum, a large number of students at Hogwarts have taken drinks laced with Veritaserum. I remember that Mr. Anderson was one of the victims."
Everyone looked at Albert.
"Yes, this is indeed the case." Albert nodded and said, "As far as I know, at least fifty Hogwarts students have drank drinks spiked with Veritaserum. We can send someone to investigate. This
You can’t fake this kind of thing.”
"By the way, Umbridge also used the Cruciatus Curse on me, so I whipped her hard last time."
"Of course, I suggest using Veritaserum directly on Umbridge, so that the authenticity of the whole thing can be confirmed more quickly, so as to avoid the possibility of me or Mr. Harry lying, and to give Umbridge the final justice."
Amelia Bones was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement. They couldn't just listen to Harry Potter's one-sided words.
Evidence in court!
Fudge glared hard at Umbridge, signaling her to confess quickly, but his actions were meaningless.
The court finally gave Umbridge a small amount of Veritaserum as a last chance.
If she really hadn't done it, she would have been acquitted. However, Umbridge obviously couldn't withstand the interrogation of Veritaserum and told the truth.
Just as Harry expected, what Umbridge did had Fudge's acquiescence. As for whether he authorized it or not, it didn't actually matter because Fudge knew it.
The former Minister of Magic slumped down in his seat because he suspected that he might also go up there.
"Please raise your hands if you agree with the conviction of the crime." After Amelia Bones finished speaking, almost all of the Wizengamot jury raised their hands.
"Very well, Dolores Umbridge has been found guilty." Amelia Bones continued, "If you think these crimes should be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, please raise your hands."
Amelia Bones looked around at the hands raised, tapped her gavel, and delivered her sentence: "Dolores Umbridge... life in Azkaban."
Umbridge seemed to have lost her soul and collapsed on the chair. When she turned around and saw Harry, she rushed towards him like crazy: "It's all you, it's all you."
"Auror," Bones shouted.
Chapter completed!
