abnormal hogwarts

The ace reporter of the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter, whom Albert caught casually in Shigulin, played her due role.

After receiving Albert's order, she quickly wrote the article and published it in the Daily Prophet that day.

Although the front page was dominated by news about Albert and the mysterious wizard fighting in central London, the article published on the second page also received a lot of attention.

The article details the roles that Sirius and Peter Pettigrew played in the murder of the Potters.

In addition, Rita Skeeter also emphasized that Peter Pettigrew was captured during this battle.

She also included several photos in the article she wrote.

The first photo was taken by Albert's clone hiding in the mirror dimension. Voldemort, Nagini, Barty Jr., and Pettigrew were standing together. However, except for Pettigrew, the other two Half of his face was covered by the hood, so he couldn't see clearly.

The background of the photo is not difficult to identify as No. [-] Privet Drive, where Harry the Savior lives.

The residence of Harry, the savior, cannot be said to be known to everyone in the British wizarding world, but it can be found out with a little inquiry. It is not a secret, so it is nothing if it is exposed.

The second photo shows Albert defeating Barty Crouch Jr., smiling brightly as he steps on the former Death Eater who is believed to have died in Azkaban and is also the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Barty Crouch Jr., the director's son.

In the photo, Barty Crouch Jr.'s face is clearly visible, and even the mark of the Dark Devil on his arm is clearly visible.

As long as you identify carefully, you can connect Barty Crouch Jr. with the lower half of the face of the hooded wizard standing next to Peter Pettigrew in the first photo, confirming that the two in the photo It's the same person.

In this way, it is confirmed that Peter Pettigrew is an associate of Barty Crouch Jr.

In the third photo, in the half-destroyed Shrieking Shack, Peter Pettigrew was tied up, revealing the Dark Mark on his arm that was recently branded by Voldemort.

Now, Peter Pettigrew's identity as a Death Eater was confirmed.

The article caused an uproar in the British wizarding community.

A large number of people wrote to the Ministry of Magic, asking the Ministry to re-examine Sirius' case, release the innocent Sirius, and arrest Peter Pettigrew.

At the same time, they also rebuked the Ministry of Magic for its poor performance.

Why did Barty Crouch Jr. escape from Azkaban?

People have escaped again and again. Is Azkaban reliable?

Fudge only read this article after he led a bunch of lackeys to Hogwarts.

At that time, Fudge's face was so pale that he almost turned into a monster with a green face and fangs.

Dumbledore said leisurely: "Cornelly, admit it, Voldemort has returned and is gathering his followers."

Even if Rita Skeeter's article was there, Fudge refused to admit the truth. His face turned red and veins popped out on his forehead: "The mysterious man has not returned! Making trouble! The Death Eaters are making trouble... …Can this be considered the return of the mysterious man!?”

What followed were words that were difficult to understand, such as "Our situation is very good, and the situation in the magical world is very good", and "There are only a few Death Eaters wandering around at the moment, and they will be reduced to zero in a few days" and other words that were difficult to understand. .

As long as he doesn't admit it, Voldemort's return will not exist!

As long as he doesn't admit it, the fact that Sirius was wrongly accused is just a fabrication!

As long as he doesn't admit it, the Ministry of Magic's credibility will not be affected!

The most important thing is that he, the minister, does not have to take the blame.

Too many big things have happened in the past few years, and Fudge felt that he couldn't bear the torment anymore.

If someone causes trouble again, he really won't be able to be a minister for long.

He is a man who will work diligently as the Minister of Magic for the rest of his life. How can he just stagnate?

Dumbledore sighed, "Are you still unwilling to face reality?"

Facing the stubborn Cornelius Fudge, Dumbledore did not intend to control him anymore.

It is impossible for Fudge alone to withstand the pressure of surging public opinion in the British wizarding community. As long as the matter is allowed to ferment for a while, Sirius will be able to wash away his grievances.

……

The Thestral prison van escorting Albert soon arrived at the Ministry of Magic's underground headquarters in London.

Due to his abnormal physical abilities in battle, Albert also enjoyed the treatment of Grindelwald.

Both hands and feet were imprisoned by magic, and they were carried with a floating spell all the way to the trial room on the tenth floor underground.

The Ministry of Magic is planning to hold a trial overnight.

Although Albert prevented Voldemort's plot to attack Harry, it is an indisputable fact that he wreaked havoc in the center of London and trampled the rules and regulations of the "International Statute of Secrecy" to pieces.

There is such a provision in the laws of the Ministry of Magic: Wizards are allowed to expose magic in front of Muggles if their lives are threatened.

However, this provision did not apply to Albert at all.

His life was not threatened, he took the initiative to chase others and beat them up.

If he just gave up the pursuit after the fight at Privet Drive, Albert might still be pardoned.

But the commotion he made in central London was too great.

If it hadn't been for Sirius's incident, Albert might not have been tried and would have been directly executed. No, he would have been thrown into Azkaban and hunkered down until he died of old age.

……

Four wizards with solemn faces led Albert through the corridor and into the elevator without saying a word.

With only his head still able to twist, Albert looked around curiously.

If the number of wizards around him increased from four to seven, and all were replaced by black wizards, it would really feel like a black man carrying a coffin.

The elevator continued to go down, and finally stopped at the ninth floor underground. The telescopic elevator protective door opened automatically.

The group of people walked forward silently and came to a dark staircase descending. The courtroom on the tenth floor underground of the Ministry of Magic cannot be reached directly through the elevator. The last part of the journey has to be walked.

The corridor leading to the stairs had rough stone walls and torches on brackets.

In the silence of the tenth floor underground, only the slight crackle of burning torches and the sound of footsteps echoed in the air.

Heavy wooden doors leading to the courtroom were arranged in an orderly manner on both sides, with iron door latches and keyholes embedded in them. Numbers from "1" to "10" were written on the door panels.

Albert and the others stopped at the door of the Tenth Courtroom.

A wizard walking in front pulled the iron latch and opened the door.

The walls around the tenth courtroom are made of black stone. The light from the torches is dim and gloomy. There are dense rows of benches on all sides, which are arranged in steps. They can be clearly seen from all seats. That chair with the chains on it, and the person accused of the crime would sit on it.

Albert looked at the throne he was about to ascend, feeling a little dissatisfied.

This chair hurts your butt just by looking at it.

The stepped benches on all sides were already filled with people, all wearing exquisite purple-red robes with a letter "W" embroidered on the chest, which represented the Wizengamot Tribunal.

The wizards and witches of the trial team looked solemnly and looked at Albert who was brought in calmly.

Albert glanced around and saw that Old Deng didn't attend his trial?

He was about to enter Azkaban for further training. On such an important occasion, Old Dengtou and Old Nico, who could be regarded as half of his parents, did not attend. This was really disappointing to Albert.

It’s okay not to have such parents.

His current mood was like that of a freshman who went to the university to report alone. He saw that all the classmates around him were being picked up and dropped off by their parents, and he was the only one...

Fuck!

It would be weird if Dumbledore and Nico would come to such an occasion.

Alas, after all, one person still carried it all.

Albert sighed.
