Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 482 Sirius, retrial

After promising Fred and George to take them to the box after lunch, Kyle finally felt calm for a while.

In order to prevent Kyle from sneaking away, Fred and George did not go to the Gryffindor table, but sat with Hufflepuff.

Since they had been here many times, they naturally sat on both sides of Kyle and greeted the people around them familiarly.

I thought this would be foolproof, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

No one expected that just when Kyle finished the last bite of corn cake, Dumbledore suddenly appeared in the Great Hall and walked straight to the Hufflepuff table.

"Kyle, can you come with me...if you're full," he said.

 “No problem, Professor,” Kyle said.

He spread his hands towards the stunned Weasley brothers, and then followed Dumbledore outside the auditorium.

"I just got the news." Dumbledore walked out of the auditorium door quickly and said: "The retrial about Sirius will be held at one o'clock. Connelly invited us to attend. If you agree to attend, we will just be able to go together."

"Of course I agree, but professor, can I go too?" Kyle asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Fudge mentioned your name specifically. He said that as the first person to discover the clues, you are fully qualified to participate in this retrial... He also said that the reason why the retrial was scheduled for today is, Just because Hogwarts is closed for the weekend."

Kyle curled his lips.

He didn't believe this. Fudge was not someone who would do such unnecessary things. If he really thought so, wouldn't it be more convenient to schedule the retrial during the holidays?

“He probably wanted a witness,” Kyle muttered, “to increase credibility.”

"Cornelly is very thoughtful." Dumbledore did not deny it. "After all, we only found out about this through you. Your presence will always make the retrial less controversial.

In addition, as a recipient of the Second Class Order of Merlin, although you have not graduated yet, you still have some say in the Wizengamot. "

"Wizengamot?" Kyle asked in surprise: "Does it mean that I also have the right to vote?"

Dumbledore said nothing, but gave a polite smile.

 “Okay, I get it,” Kyle said.

 Obviously, his right to speak is just literal... he can say hello to other people, but nothing else.

Dumbledore did not walk to the school gate, but stopped in a field in front of the Black Lake.

He stretched out his arm and said to Kyle: "There are less than ten minutes until the retrial. I think we'd better get there quickly."

Kyle grabbed his arm.

With the world spinning, when Kyle opened his eyes again, he was already in a majestic hall.

Kyle did not ask why Dumbledore could Apparate at Hogwarts. There was no need. For wizards who were powerful enough, those restrictive methods were not that effective.

Besides, Dumbledore is still the headmaster, so it’s not that difficult to grant himself temporary privileges.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, you are finally here." A tall figure came from the other side of the hall.

“I can’t believe it’s possible that Blake is innocent, twelve years after his case was settled.”

"I was as surprised as you were when I learned about this, Kingsley." Dumbledore shook his hand and asked, "What's going on now? We're not too late."

"No, the retrial will be held on time at one o'clock. It's completely late now." Kingsley said,

 He glanced at Kyle and didn't ask why Dumbledore brought a student over. He had obviously received the news in advance.

“Follow me, the retrial will be held in the third courtroom...”

 Kingsley walked out, followed by Kyle.

After walking out of the hall, they came to another splendid hall. This place was almost filled with wizards, probably hundreds of them, and everyone was walking forward in a hurry. “This way,” said Kingsley.

They joined the crowd, but with Dumbledore following them, the journey was relatively smooth. Other wizards would politely make way for them after seeing them.

They also passed by a table marked "Security Check", where guests' wands were checked, and there was a long queue in front of them.

But Kingsley did not stop and walked straight over. The wizard responsible for checking the wand slowly took the other person's wand as if he didn't see them.

"Oh...why can they not be inspected..." In the middle of the queue, a person with a thick accent asked: "That child...can't be a staff member at first glance..."

The originally lifeless team immediately became lively. Everyone craned their necks to look at the speaker, guessing which remote corner he came from and suddenly asked such a stupid question.

Didn’t he see who was following the child?

The person responsible for checking the wand also raised his head and said lazily: "If your name is Albus Dumbledore, you can come over now..."

There was a burst of laughter all around.

At this time, Kyle and Dumbledore had already walked through the hall and entered an elevator.

There were many people inside, and they all greeted Dumbledore warmly.

"Long time no see, Albus, I guess you must be here because of the Black incident." said a bald wizard holding a cardboard box.

 “Yes, Arcoli,” said Dumbledore.

"It's really surprising." The wizard named Akoli said, "Everyone in the ministry who is qualified to participate in the retrial has passed. I dare say that in the next month, this matter will always appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet. above.

If Black can overturn the verdict, it will take even longer. "

 At this moment, a cold female voice spoke.

“Level 7, the Department of Magical Games and Sports, including the Quidditch League Headquarters of Britain and Ireland, the Official Gobstone Club and the Office of Patents for Burlesque Products.”

The elevator door opened, and there was a messy corridor in front of it, with various Quidditch posters staggered on the wall.

"Oh, I'm here." Akoli walked out of the elevator, "See you next time, Albus."

 “See you next time.”

 The elevator door is closed again.

 Then they passed the Department of Magical Transportation and the Department of International Magical Cooperation... After arriving at this level, there were only three of them left in the elevator.

 Then there are the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and their destination this time...

“The Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which includes the Office for the Abuse of Magic, Auror Command and the Wizengamot Governing Body.”

 “Here we are,” said Dumbledore.

They followed Kingsley out of the elevator and came to a corridor with doors on both sides.

"Come with me, we have to hurry up." Kingsley turned to the left and walked forward along a corridor. After walking past the Auror headquarters, which was covered with various portraits, he finally stopped in front of a heavy wooden door.

 “This is the third courtroom,” Kingsley said,

“Someone suggested that the Tenth Courtroom be the location... Fortunately, the minister did not agree. That place has been abandoned for a long time, and it is deeper than the elevator.

It's pretty good here now, at least it's not that dark, and there's no unpleasant musty smell... Come in quickly. "

Kyle stepped forward. Even through the heavy door, he could hear the noise coming from inside.
