HP heard I should be a Death Eater

Mrs. Black is the last witness, and if her testimony doesn't change the jury's mind, Signus can be acquitted.Dumbledore's half-truths have won the sympathy and admiration of most people, and it is impossible for the few remaining diehards to convict Signus.

But the last witness is also the most dangerous, Mrs. Black knows too much, she will mention tasks that the previous witnesses are not sure about, and as a mother, her testimony is itself inflammatory.

Signus already knew from more than one person that his mother would appear in court to testify against him, but it was not until he saw Mrs. Black in court that he realized that he could not face it as calmly as he thought.This woman used to be proud of him and gave him almost all her mother's love. Although later things proved that these loves were not unconditional, it was still impossible for him to be indifferent to her.

Before Snape called out to him, Signus fell into a trance momentarily looking at Mrs. Black's hateful face.He remembered how his mother proudly introduced the gifted eldest son to the wives of other families when he was a child, and even remembered the not-so-warm family letters he had received during the seven years at Hogwarts.All sorts of memories of his mother hit him, making Mrs. Black's silent "traitor" sting.

Snape's voice woke him from his trance.The chairs in the trial seat were fixed, and Signus turned sideways, unable to see the audience behind him, nor could he see Snape, but saw Dumbledore staring at him seriously, with firm eyes Also let him calm down.He took a deep breath and met Mrs. Black's eyes again.

"I did not betray him." Signus said coldly, and his voice was clearly heard by everyone in the quiet courtroom: "I never gave my allegiance to him. He is an out-and-out liar, and you, mother , you clearly know that he is actually a half-breed, but you fanatically worship him as a king and believe in his bloodline theory..."

"Shut up, shut up! You devil!" screamed Mrs. Black.She grasped the railing of the witness stand with both hands, leaning her upper body towards Signus, almost wanting to rush over to fight him. The way she lost her mind surprised the wizards in the courtroom, and they couldn't help doubting her mental state.

The Death Eaters trials had continued to this day, and they had seen many fanatical dark wizards, and Mrs. Black was undoubtedly one of the most lunatics among them.However, compared to the day when she was on trial, today she looked extra crazy, and everyone present was surprised that a mother's hatred for her son could be so profound.

This was not so difficult for Signus to understand. He knew from a very early age that his mother loved the eldest son of a Death Eater with super high talents in black magic and a promising future who would become the head of House Black in the future, not He was the "traitor" who single-handedly pushed the Dark Lord into the abyss.It's just that in the past many years, this woman's concern for him made him unable to maintain his rationality, and he had to invest in her emotionally.This kind of feeling is not as deep as he has for his two younger brothers, but it is still deep.

"The devil!" Mrs. Black was still shouting, her voice was so sharp that it pierced everyone's ears very uncomfortable: "You know what! He killed people when he was in the fifth grade. He slaughtered an ordinary family on Christmas Eve. This also includes children under the age of ten."

Signus watched his mother hysterically yell out his crimes with a blank face, and those missions he participated in before being marked with the Dark Mark were spread out one by one, causing quite a commotion.He had no choice in those things at the time, and there is no way to explain them now, and it is impossible for Dumbledore to say that he was under the Imperius Curse by the Dark Lord in fifth year.

"Signus Black, do you have anything to say?" The judge looked down at him, waiting for his answer.The auditorium behind him also fell silent, expecting him to tell everyone that everything was a lie from Mrs. Black.

However, if this is the case, how can it be argued against?Signus' silence caused even more commotion. Before he was about to say that he had nothing to argue with, Dumbledore spoke first: "Everyone here, I have a question for you to answer."

This seemed to be a topic unrelated to the trial, but the judge did not stop Dumbledore from speaking.

"What would you do if you were faced with the situation when little Mr. Black was 15 years old, only to kill a few strangers and watch family members die because of your choices, and the wizarding world was plunged into a more protracted war because of your choices? ?”

People frowned and discussed in low voices, but they didn't answer for a long time.Dumbledore continued: "I heard some people doubt whether Mr. Black's choice will have such a big impact on the wizarding world. I want to tell you, it is true. Only the identity is close enough to Tom Riddle, the magic is strong enough, and he is willing to take the risk. Only someone whose life is in danger and who will not arouse suspicion can find his Horcruxes and destroy them. I can't find another suitable person except Cygnus Black.

"And what amazed me was that he didn't need anyone to convince or win him over. He had the guts to take the risk of taking someone much stronger than him from the throne."

"But he killed someone after all!" someone shouted.

"He destroyed the Horcrux, that person will never come back again, I am willing to forgive him for this." Someone also retorted.

"But those wizards who lost their families are also willing to forgive him! Doesn't the law punish murderers!"

Dumbledore glanced at the man: "You're right, he killed people after all. Since he was 15 years old, he has killed 21 wizards. At the same time, his great contribution made us end the food The era of the Dead Apostles, I don't know how many people he saved because of it."

The jury was in dispute, most of them thought that what Signus had done was enough to make up for it, and there was no need to be too harsh on him, but some people hesitated because there were a few wizards covering their faces and crying in the auditorium .Their family members are dead, dying under the wand of Signus, are they really going to watch their murderers leave the courtroom freely?

No matter how many discussions surrounded him, Signus remained calm and sat motionless in the judgment seat.He should have pretended to be repentant, or at least mournful, and seemed to be mourning the death of the 21 wizards, which would have been more likely to win the favor of the jury.

But he won't do this, fate never gave him another choice, so he won't regret everything he has done.

The trial reached a stalemate here, the judges' bench announced an adjournment, and the jury members left one by one to go to the lounge to argue for a result.Signus was again taken by Dumbledore to the small room on the side of the hall.

Before leaving, he glanced back in Snape's direction, the boy was also looking at him, and when he saw him turning his head, he smiled slightly and moved his lips a few times.Signus thought about it carefully, and felt that it probably meant to wait for you to go back to school together.

"You should put on an air, Slytherin is not the best at this." Dumbledore suggested in a low voice.

Signus looked away and replied, "Malfoy is good at this, I'm not good at it."

"Yeah, what you did around Tom is not the best proof." Dumbledore said dryly, his tone full of dissatisfaction with the rebellious child, but he didn't force him to do anything.It is impossible for the jury to throw a squib to Azkaban, and it is impossible for the hero who ended the war and saved millions of wizards in Britain to pay for the 21 poor people who were taken away by the war.

An hour later, the result of the trial also confirmed Dumbledore's idea. Signus was released in court, but the Black family had to pay a huge amount of Galleon for this.

It seemed that no one had any objection to the outcome of the trial. Even those wizards who lost their loved ones because of Signus did not make a fuss, but quietly left the courtroom with many spectators.The only ones who are dissatisfied with this result are probably the Death Eaters who were imprisoned and did not know the "good news".

Snape waited for Signus at the door of the court, taking his hand automatically as he came to him.The reporters around were busy pressing the shutter to capture the picture of this moment.

"Okay, gentlemen, step aside." Dumbledore stepped forward, made a way through the crowd, and left with Signus and Snape.

There was chaos around, with reporters pushing and shoving, trying to get Signus to say something.They asked about the future of the Black family, and about his magical powers, and the questions grew harsher, luring him out of control.

Snape frowned, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Signus, and followed Dumbledore hurriedly back to the Hogwarts headmaster's office through the fireplace.

"Leave them alone." Signus said until he left the Ministry of Magic: "As long as you say a word, these people have the ability to make a long speech."

"You won't be a Squib forever!" Snape gasped and said loudly, "I will become the most powerful potions master, and I will cure you!"

The third year's words sounded like children's bragging, but neither Dumbledore nor Signus laughed. They understood Snape's talent, so they had no doubt that he would be successful in potions.

The boy looked very aggressive when he was angry, but Signus found it cute because of his love for him.He was already free, and now he just wanted to kiss those lips that were tightly pressed because of anger.

He turned to look at Dumbledore and said solemnly, "Thank you today, Mr. Principal."

Dumbledore smiled: "I want to thank you too, Mr. Black."

With that said, the coldness between the young Black and the old headmaster of Gryffindor resumed.Signus took one last look at the stern-looking Phoenix Black between the portraits of the headmasters on the wall, and took Snape with him.

"This is not the direction to go back to the dormitory." Snape obediently being pulled by him, reminded.

Signus just smiled, and pulled him through the corridor that was full of life under the sun, and then hid in an unknown secret passage.

The kiss followed, and Snape was forced to throw his head back, accepting that Signus was no longer suppressing his feelings.In this long kiss, there is the uneasy trembling that has not dissipated, but also the joy of freedom, and nostalgia for a person.

Signus has been suppressed for too long, from birth to now, from meeting to falling in love, so long that suppression has become a part of his life.And now, with the fall of the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters, he is free at last.

The author has something to say:

It's amazing, it was swallowed up as soon as it was written, and it would be miserable to rewrite it from memory.

The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten. I don’t know how many times I have to be swallowed before Xiaosheng can remember it. Don’t write manuscripts in the background! !
