Ch 450-460
Knowing that the Merlin Knights were still considering nomination, Ivan was a little disappointed.
But since there is no rejection, it means that this matter is still very interesting. It is estimated that when the dust on Peter Pettigrew settles, his Merlin Medal will be available.
Just as Ivan was thinking about it, he unexpectedly saw Dumbledore hand over another letter.
Ivan is at a loss. Is there anything else he has been caught out?
Or which **** wrote to complain to himself?
Several possibilities flashed in Ivan's mind. He picked up the envelope and looked at it, only to find that the letter was signed by the letter underneath.
"Nick LeMay?" Ivan read the gilded characters written on the end of the envelope, then raised his head and looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
Of course he understands who Nick Le May is, but because of this, he feels a little bit incredulous. He and this world-renowned alchemist have nothing to do with each other. Why did the other party send a letter to himself?
"Remember the time converter that you broke?" Dumbledore asked.
Ivan nodded, vaguely thought of his previous guess, and said confidently. "Mr. Nick LeMay fixed it?"
"Yes! I specifically found my old friend Nick and asked for his help." Dumbledore nodded, then smiled and continued to speak.
"You can destroy the time converter to this extent, but it surprised him for a while"
Ivan scratched his head awkwardly. The time converter is so badly broken because of the power of the system. However, the existence of the system is still an absolute secret, so this pot is afraid of betrayal.
"So I talked a lot about you with him. After learning that you also have an outstanding talent in alchemy, this old friend of mine has always wanted to see you. If you say that you are willing to see him too. One side!" Dumbledore's blue eyes under his half-moon glasses stared at Ivan, waiting for his reply.
"Of course! I am honored!" Ivan was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.
He is worried that his alchemy has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to grow without anyone teaching him. Now that Nick LeMay wants to meet himself, it is tantamount to dozing off and giving a pillow.
"Then when can we meet my teacher?" Ivan hurriedly asked.
The speed at which Ivan changed his mouth surprised Dumbledore. He hadn't said that Nick planned to accept him as a disciple.
Dumbledore shook his head helplessly.
"Not now, Hals! You still need to complete your studies during this period, so you have to wait for the summer vacation, and we may have to go for a long time. You have to convince your mother and do a good job. Be prepared!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice.
Ivan then calmed down. Although he felt that with his current level of magic, the third-year course was unnecessary for him, but considering the grade point issue, Ivan could only be patient and wait until the summer vacation.
Dumbledore saw Ivan's reaction in his eyes and nodded secretly. He thought Ivan would be more anxious, but he didn't expect the child to be more patient than he expected.
"Anyway, the rest is in the letter Nick wrote to you. If there is nothing else, you can go back first!" Dumbledore waved his hand and said.
"Then I won't bother you, Professor!" Ivan put the old magic wand on the table and took out the time converter after thinking about it.
After all, this time converter is something of the Ministry of Magic, and he doesn't need to force Dumbledore to stay
Now that Nick LeMay can repair this time converter, he probably also knows how time is made.
He deliberately tentatively called Nick Le May a teacher, but Dumbledore did not refute it. It can be seen that Nick Le May wanted to accept himself as his disciple when he met him this time.
While thinking, Ivan walked toward the principal outside.
Dumbledore glanced at what Ivan put on the table and watched Ivan disappear into the principal's room.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the door, the principal's room once again restored tranquility.
Dumbledore was silent for a while, his palm flicked across the desk, and a diary with a few holes in the middle appeared on the table, with a dim crown beside it.
"The third one!" Dumbledore whispered, and stretched out the other hand that had been hidden in his sleeve.
The weird thing is that this palm is scorched black, faintly exuding black air, and a ring inlaid with black gems is also worn on the thumb.
Dumbledore reached out and took the ring off, placed it next to the crown, staring at these three things silently.
Since Ivan destroyed the diary and the crown last school year, he has noticed the mystery of Voldemort's immortality, that is, making Horcruxes!
Since there are two of these things at the same time, there is likely to be a third, fourth, or even more!
When he realized this, Dumbledore couldn't help feeling a bit chilly.
Splitting a complete soul is not an easy task. Therefore, the production of Horcruxes is extremely evil. It is necessary to break and split one's soul through evil means such as murder, and then separate a part of the soul from the body and seal it in the vessel. .
After the split of the complete soul, it becomes extremely unstable. The production of plural Horcruxes not only has to endure the pain of multiple split souls, but also affects the mood of the producer.
It can be said that Voldemort, in order to avoid death~www.mtlnovel.com~, has been almost crazy to do such a thing.
Dumbledore muttered to himself with pity or emotion, but the plural Horcrux also meant that Voldemort was difficult to kill completely.
After all, as long as there is still a Horcrux, Tom can survive no matter what kind of blow he receives!
Fortunately, the two Horcruxes chosen by Voldemort gave him some hints, which made his search for the remaining Horcrux a lot easier!
Ravenclaw's crown is one of the relics left by the founding Big Four, and the diary is the vehicle for recording Tom's life as a student.
Since Tom chose these two things as Horcruxes, it means that other Horcruxes may not be randomly selected, but rather expensive or commemorative items.
Except for the Gryffindor Sword, Dumbledore suspected that several other relics were also made into Horcruxes.
He has not forgotten that Tom once returned to Hogwarts and wanted to apply for the position of professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. He felt a little surprised at the time. Now when he wants to come to Tom, he probably coveted the Sword of Gryffindor. Store the Ravenclaw crown.
"If this is the case, then there will be at least five Horcruxes" Dumbledore muttered to himself after closing his eyes and pondering for a while.
Then Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and opened his eyes suddenly. There was an inexplicable light gleaming in those azure blue eyes, he said tremblingly.
"No, maybe six!"
Thinking of that possibility, Dumbledore's brows frowned, and his slender index finger kept tapping on the desk, making a dull noise.
Although he didn't want to believe it, he told him sensibly that Harry was probably also one of the Horcruxes!
Dumbledore sighed slowly, his face seemed to be getting older for a while, the magic in his body was unconsciously dissipating everywhere, and the surrounding space seemed a bit depressed.
But soon, the melodious singing sounded in the silent office.
Phoenix Fox, standing on his shoulders, had noticed Dumbledore's scorched palm, so he flapped his wings anxiously and quickly flew to the table, leaned his head, and blinked his eyes.
A drop of tears slowly slipped down, dripping onto the scorched skin
The corrosive sound continued one after another, and strange black air escaped from the palm of the hand, and they shrank back as if they had been suppressed, but the scorched black traces showed no signs of disappearing.
Fox became more and more sad, and more tears fell, but to no avail.
"It's okay, Fox!" Dumbledore calmed the golden red phoenix with his intact hand.
This situation had long been his expectation. The magic that Voldemort had set on this Horcrux was extraordinary and could not be removed by conventional means.
"Go and inform Severus, bring him here, Fox!" Dumbledore said suddenly, he could only start with the potion now to see if he could find a solution.
The golden red phoenix nodded, and disappeared into the principal's office as quickly as possible.
It didn't take long for a flame to explode in the open space on the side, and the flame rapidly expanded into a human shape.
Then the flames gradually subsided, and Snape in a black robe appeared in the principal's room.
What made Dumbledore feel a little surprised was that Snape, who had been teleported over, maintained the action of boiling the potion, and there were still a few scratches on his clothes.
"What is it that you are so anxious to let this red bird come to me?" Snape asked with a sullen face, throwing the remnants of the potion in his hand onto the table, and asked in dissatisfaction.
He was brewing a very precious potion in the basement, but the phoenix suddenly appeared in front of him. Without asking, he pulled his clothes and forcibly teleported him over.
Dumbledore didn't reply, just raised the scorched palm
"Are you hurt?" Snape's pupils tightened.
"Yes, as you see!" Dumbledore nodded.
Snape ignored the previous episode for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Dumbledore's arm, and looked at it carefully.
"How is the injury?" Dumbledore asked.
"It's difficult to do. This is a very special black magic that can become stronger by corroding your magic power and is difficult to eradicate. I remember that there is a potion that may be useful, but it can only be contained at most!" Snape After probing for a while, he slowly shook his head.
"Enough!" Dumbledore took his hand back, which was better than he had originally expected. "Trouble you anyway, Severus!"
Snape looked at him worriedly and then turned to leave. Fox felt that he was walking too slowly, so he simply gave him a ride.
About half an hour later, when Snape returned again, he had an extra reagent cup in his hand, which was full of rich golden liquid medicine.
"Do I need to drink it?" Dumbledore took the reagent, and after checking with Snape, he drank it.
After the entrance of the rich golden liquid, it turns into a warm stream and spreads all over the body
At the same time, Snape picked up Dumbledore's scorched palm and put his wand on it, chanting and casting the spell, the black air in his palm gradually subsided, and the abnormality on his skin was slowly reduced.
"Thank you, your potion is very useful, Severus! I feel better!" Dumbledore said with appreciation, feeling some physical conditions.
"That's just your illusion." Snape's face was cold, and he didn't mean to comfort the centenarian at all.
"I only temporarily suppressed the effect of this black magic, it will only become stronger day by day, and it will reappear in about a year, and we will have no way to limit it!"
Dumbledore listened to Snape's warning, but did not respond. He was staring at the scorched palm and examining it carefully, as if looking at something interesting.
Dumbledore's indifferent attitude made Snape a little discouraged, he hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking aloud.
"How did you get caught?"
He can't imagine anyone in the magic world today who can hurt Dumbledore, and has the ability to leave such a powerful black magic in his hands.
Dumbledore pointed directly to several items on the table.
Snape looked down, only to find a diary, a crown and a ring on the desk.
The diary and the crown are very familiar to him. Those are the two Horcruxes destroyed by Ivan Hals last semester. The extra rings are easy to guess.
"This ring is the third Horcrux of the Dark Lord? Did it hurt you?" Snape saw it at a glance. The powerful black magic that had been cast on this ring should have been triggered.
"You should also be able to see that it was cursed by someone~www.mtlnovel.com~ Then why touch it?" Snape looked at Dumbledore angrily.
"This Horcrux was hidden by Tom in the old house of Gunter's house. An ancient magic was applied inside it. It can arouse people's obsession. When someone finds this ring, it will be triggered. It's a wonderful arrangement. !" Dumbledore couldn't help sighing, but Tom gave him a big surprise this time.
The more obsessive people are, the easier it is to be recruited
He can't refuse to see Angelina again, let alone pursue the Three Hallows of Death as an agreement with his best friend
So Tom used the power of the resurrection stone to set up traps, and he caught his weakness by accident.
At the same time, Dumbledore was very thankful that Tom did not randomly find a place to bury the Horcrux in the soil, or throw it into a creek to drift with the flow, but choose a specific place just like the carrier of the Horcrux, otherwise If that happens, he will really be caught blind.
Snape looked at Dumbledore, who was still admiring the Dark Lord leisurely, and was anxious and angry. He glanced over the three Horcruxes and said sarcastically.
"A twelve or thirteen-year-old child can destroy two Horcruxes unharmed, but you die with this ring. It seems that the greatest white wizard in the magical world is nothing more than that."
"Don't say that, Severus! You should be more tolerant to an elderly old man. I occasionally make mistakes..." Dumbledore didn't explain the meaning of the Three Sacred Artifacts in detail. Said jokingly.
Snape looked at him with a sneer, but he soon remembered something, his face changed, and he stared suspiciously at the old man in front of him.
"No! Your injury occurred a few days ago, otherwise it won't get worse, but I just saw you two days ago..." Snape squinted and asked.
"I was injured and it was not convenient to meet other people..." Dumbledore explained in a vague tone, stroking the golden ring, staring at the hollow and broken cracks in the ring.
It took him a long time to try countless ways to find a way to destroy the Horcrux-that is, the Fire Curse!
Since he has not used black magic for decades, he almost forgot how to use this magic...
"So the person who met with me two days ago was really not you?" Snape's face was very ugly.
Although Dumbledore didn't clearly say who it was, Snape filtered the possible candidates in his mind, combined with the other party's recent weird behavior, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Is it Ivan Hals? That little devil? He pretended to look like you with the compound soup, under your instruction?" Snape said affirmatively.
I praise myself, and add hundreds of points to Gryffindor Academy, which is like what Ivan Hals would do.
Snape's mouth kept twitching, and he remembered that he ran in front of the opponent two days ago to file a complaint...
But... how did he know that promise?
Snape was puzzled. Only he and Dumbledore should know about this.
But Snape recalled what Ivan had said in reply to him.
The other party seemed to say: Our agreement has always been valid!
Snape's face suddenly turned black. He understood that he was being tricked. The other party seemed to have answered his own question, but he didn't say anything at all...
"What? Did something happen?" Dumbledore noticed that Snape's face was very ugly, and raised his eyebrows and asked in a loud voice.
Snape did not intend to talk about his dark history, but shifted his words, questioning that Dumbledore had let a child who had not graduated take on the duties of the principal's agent. It was like a child's play...
"But he was able to fool the Minister of Magic Fudge and our professors. It seems that the kid is more suitable for the position of principal than you..." Snape said mockingly.
Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Snape's sarcasm. Instead, he looked very happy, he said.
"Do you think so? Severus? This means that I have chosen the right person! When choosing an agent, I originally thought of letting you or Minerva come, but I think the children might be more Looking forward to a unique principal..."
Despite what he said, Dumbledore knew very well that neither McGonagall nor Snape were suitable as agents.
McGonagall is strong and experienced in dealing with things, but her personality is more conservative and rigid. Unlike Ivan, who is not detached and obsessed with the rules, she may be at a disadvantage if she is easily **** with the Minister of Magic Fudge.
And Snape and Sirius had a long history of hatred, and they were not suitable candidates...
So he chose Ivan Hals completely helpless, because he could not find a more suitable person, but fortunately, it seems that he did not choose the wrong person...
Snape couldn't stand Dumbledore's madness. He wanted to ask the other party how to fulfill his agreement with him in his current state.
It's just that Snape finally held back and didn't say anything. He understood that the old man had been seriously injured in order to completely eliminate the Dark Lord, and he had no reason to blame the other party...
After leaving a few words of reminder, Snappleso flung his sleeves and left. In the huge principal's office, there was once again a lonely old man.
Dumbledore meditated alone, but he didn't think about the Horcrux anymore. In his current state, it is not suitable for the time to find the whereabouts of the next Horcrux.
Dumbledore placed his gaze directly on the two Deathly Hallows on the table. He hesitated and picked up the old magic wand. He magically drew a vertical line on the desk and put on the ring again. A circle is added on it...
Finally Dumbledore thought of Harry's invisibility cloak, and added a triangle outside the vertical line and the circle.
The faint magical fluorescence is linked together, forming a weird pattern like triangular eyes, the difference is that the pupil is not an eyeball but a vertical line!
"Old Wand... Resurrection Stone... Invisibility Cloak!" Dumbledore gently muttered the names of the three Deathly Hallows, wondering what mystery they have...
According to legend, the person who owns all the Deathly Hallows will become the master of the **** of death...
Except for the resurrection stone he had just obtained, he had studied the other two Deathly Hallows in his long-term possession.
However, there was no gain~www.mtlnovel.com~ It seemed that these two Deathly Hallows were just more powerful alchemy items, which made him doubt the authenticity of those rumors.
"Having everything means that three pieces are required to assemble?" Dumbledore stared at the pattern, and a thought suddenly emerged. Perhaps the three Deathly Hallows will be put together, what wonderful changes will happen...
But the resurrection stone was damaged in the process of destroying the Horcrux. I don't know if it will affect it...
...
At the same time, in the Gryffindor lounge, surrounded by a lot of books, Harry, who looked a little dizzy, finally couldn't help but explode.
"God! Why did I spend so much time understanding the "British International Law" and "Muggle Protection Act", this has nothing to do with this case!" Harry complained loudly.
But his voice was quickly suppressed by Hermione, the little witch stared at him and retorted.
"How can it be okay? Open the book and read it carefully. Peter Pettigrew killed 13 Muggles, just within the jurisdiction of the Muggle Protection Act!
And he used the spell of mass destruction on the street to leak the existence of the magical world, which violated the provisions of "British International Law"! "
"In addition, as a Death Eater, Peter also committed seven crimes related to war crimes... These are also in the "British International Law."
Hermione talked freely, and then looked at Harry in surprise. "I remember you watched it for almost an hour, haven't you memorized these regulations?"
"These law-related books are too cumbersome, how long I have read it, how can I memorize it..." Harry curled his lips, seeing the various terms and conditions make him a little dizzy.
"But you watched it for an entire hour...an hour! I don't even need to memorize these things for half an hour! Ivan only took fifteen minutes!" Hermione's voice grew louder, she felt Harry must have not read the book well, he was wasting time.
"Didn't you read the newspaper? Tomorrow is the day Sirius is in court! You only have one night!" Hermione reminded.
Harry could only cover his face with a book under Hermione's reprimand, shivering, of course he knew his time was limited.
It's just that there are at least 20 laws related to Peter Pettigrew, and the various additional clauses are very complicated. It took him an hour to understand the general meaning of each clause.
"How could someone memorize these terms in fifteen minutes..." Harry muttered softly.
Seeing Harry didn't believe it, Hermione couldn't help turning her head to look at Ivan.
Ivan, who was reading the book, raised his head. Of course he heard the voice of Hermione and Harry talking, so he spoke very quickly and counted all the crimes of Peter Pettigrew.
"The Muggle Protection Act, Article 3, Article 27, stipulates that any wizard should try to avoid performing magic in public places in the Muggle World... Article 9, Article 12... Article 43 Regulations..."
"Look! What I said before is correct!" After Ivan finished speaking, Hermione snorted softly and said to Harry.
Harry completely broke down...
Ivan was there when I was reading those books.
But in Harry's impression, Ivan reads the book very casually, just turning the pages of the book, scanning a few glances, and staying on each page for only half a minute at most.
A momentum of just pretending, but unexpectedly Ivan has already memorized all of them.
Harry suddenly felt that this world was really cruel to his kind of scumbag!
He very much doubted whether Ivan secretly got up to endorse the book last night, otherwise how could he learn so fast!
Ivan didn't know that Harry was slandering himself secretly. Although he often woke up in the middle of the night and sneaked into the library to check the banned books, he still didn't recite some legal provisions to such a degree.
Perhaps because of learning Occlumency and repeatedly using Xueba experience card, Ivan keenly perceives that his memory has greatly improved.
It's not memorable under normal conditions, but ordinary things can be remembered after seeing it a few times, and it can be regarded as a kind of memorizing talent...
Hermione used him as a template to ask Harry, which is indeed difficult for some people...
If you want to be a witness in court, there is no need to recite these legal provisions. Hermione is too truthful.
It's just that Ivan didn't mean to interfere. For a bear kid like Harry, it's okay to learn more.
Maybe I will hesitate a bit next time I die.
...
Early the next morning, when Ivan was still asleep, Harry called him up.
It was Ron who was still yawning for a long time.
"What are we doing when we wake up so early?" Ivan glanced at the lightening sky, and just wanted to get back to bed to get some sleep.
"It's getting late, and the court will be held in three hours!" Harry changed his sighing expression last night when he endorsed, and he looked completely vigorous, but he was more nervous.
"Maybe we have to prepare something and bring something? Also, where is the trial court, have you been there?"
Harry was a little frantic, he found the invisibility cloak from under his bed, thinking about whether to bring it?
In case something goes wrong and Sirius fails to reverse the case, he may be able to escape with this.
"Relax, we don't need to bring anything, and we will be back at the slowest night! In addition, Professor Dumbledore is the chief magician of the Wiesengama Tribunal, so we are set to win this time!" Ivan said comfortingly.
Wiesen Gamo is the name of the Supreme Court of the Wizarding World, composed of approximately fifty members.
Due to the scarcity of wizards in the wizarding world, the court sometimes does not receive litigation cases for several months, so there is no independent court venue. The entire trial process is conducted in the courtroom of the Ministry of Magic.
The trial process is very concise. It is conducted in the form of questions raised by the interrogator, the clerk is responsible for keeping records, and finally the ruling is made by a show of hands.
Ivan walked toward the auditorium while popularizing Harry's knowledge from the book.
It is less than six o'clock, and there is no one in the auditorium. Fortunately, the industrious house elves are on standby at any time to give them a hearty breakfast.
Ivan was enjoying the food leisurely, while Harry did not forget to glance at the "Muggle Protection Act" while eating breakfast. He felt that he still had a few important points that he had not remembered, and it was not too late to grind his guns. ..
An hour later, Dumbledore walked in through the door of the auditorium.
Different from the casual dressing in the past, Dumbledore wore a fuchsia robe today, with a variety of gorgeous patterns engraved on the corners of his clothes, and a delicate silver "W" symbol embroidered on his left chest.
Ivan knew that it was the exclusive costume of the Wizard of Wiesengama, representing the identity of Dumbledore's chief wizard.
"Professor Dumbledore, are you the chief referee in this trial?" Ivan asked curiously.
Since Dumbledore is the nominal supreme officer of Wizengamore, he is likely to preside over this trial.
Harry also looked forward to Dumbledore and waited for his reply~www.mtlnovel.com~No! Unfortunately...I did not receive such notification. Dumbledore shook his head as they watched.
He just came back yesterday, and he didn't have enough time to influence the other members of Wizengamore to make a decision, so the chances of this trial growing up are those from the Ministry of Magic.
Harry's expression became a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, this time we have very conclusive evidence to prove Sirius' innocence..." Dumbledore casually reassured them, and then emphasized some of the rules of the trial court to them, and suggested that Hermione and Ron also do the same. Go with it.
When they learned this, both of them were very surprised.
"But I haven't made any preparations yet?" Hermione suddenly became flustered, which was not in her plan at all.
"You know so much more than we do! What else do you need to prepare?" Ivan vomited, and it was Hermione who read the most books these days as important witnesses instead of himself and Harry!
Ivan even suspects that Miss Know-how may be able to recite the various laws and regulations of the magic world...
Hermione only regained some confidence, then suddenly turned her head to look at Ron, and said. "What about Ron? He still doesn't understand anything?"
Ron wanted to refute angrily, but he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Okay, he really doesn't seem to know anything...
Dumbledore didn't care about Ron in confusion.
The reason why Ron was brought on was only because he was the owner of Scabbers, and Ron only had to admit this when he went to the court.
"Professor Dumbledore, how do we get to the Trial Court? Shall we go in a carriage? It seems to be late..." Harry noticed the clock on the wall of the auditorium and said anxiously.
"No, don't bother...you hold each other's hands, and I will take you there!" Dumbledore stretched out his left hand and held Harry.
Harry nodded and held Ron, then Ivan and Hermione.
The four people formed a circle. Hermione wanted to go to La Dumbledore's other hand to form a closed loop, but the latter did not respond.
"Where's Sirius? Isn't he with us?" Harry didn't find Sirius when he looked around, and he was a little confused.
"He and Peter have already been taken by the Auror to the Ministry of Magic, not with us..." Dumbledore explained, and then looked out the window. A phoenix flew directly over and stayed on his side. Shoulders.
Accompanied by a melodious song, a golden-red flame ignited from Fox's body, and quickly passed to everyone's body, lighting the four into a torch.
Hermione was taken aback, and she held Ivan's palm tightly, but soon realized that the flame would not hurt people, and it was a little warm when attached to her body.
Fox's singing became louder and louder, and the flames covering his body swelled suddenly.
Hermione felt the sky spin, and when she came back to her senses again, she was already in a deserted street.
"This is London?!" Hermione looked around, looked at the surrounding tall buildings, and said with certainty.
"Yes! Because the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic is located in London! So we are here!" Ron showed off his little knowledge.
His father works at the Ministry of Magic. Although Ron has never been there, he still knows a little about the Ministry.
"Of course I know! The location of the Ministry of Magic is mentioned in many books. They disguised the entrance as a phone booth. Outsiders must come here and apply for it if they want to enter the Ministry..."
Hermione crackled a lot and said that the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic is common sense that everyone in the magical world knows.
Harry looked blank beside him, is this common sense? Why doesn't he know?
Ron was speechless by Hermione, but he still refused to admit defeat and argued from other aspects that he knew the Ministry of Magic better...
"Stop for a while, boys, you know we don't have much time, you'd better walk and talk!" Dumbledore had to interrupt the conversation when it was time for the trial.
While staying on his shoulder, Fox looked a little tired. It closed its eyes and rested in disgust. Obviously it was still very difficult to carry four people across regions at once.
Hermione stopped arguing with Ron, only to realize that she was still holding Ivan's hand, and hurriedly took it back.
Then Hermione looked at Ivan's expression without any margin, and when he saw that he didn't notice the appearance at all, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little angry...
At this time, Ivan is wandering outside the sky, watching the changes in the system taskbar.
[Task: Become the King of Knock Down Alley
Mission objective: Unified Knockdown Alley (Second Ring Road)
Task progress: Thirty-two percent
Quest reward: Courageous Loyalty Curse
Task description:...]
Seeing the 32% task progress prompt, Ivan was at a loss.
He discovered an abnormality in the taskbar two days ago, and keenly noticed that the progress of the King of Knockdown Alley mission seems to have increased a lot. He remembers that it was not so high before...
Is it because the werewolf wizards such as Furen and Walker have soared sincerely with them, or have they dealt with the chain effect caused by Bock?
Ivan is very puzzled. He has been studying at Hogwarts for nearly a year and didn't do anything. How come he suddenly became a third of the King of Knockout Alley?
It is precisely because of this that Ivan agreed to postpone the time to meet with Nick LeMay, because he has to go home first during the summer vacation to see what is going on...
Just thinking about it, Ivan followed Dumbledore into the Ministry of Magic through the phone booth.
I was still arguing about how much I knew Hermione and Ron from the Ministry of Magic, and was immediately attracted by the grand decorations inside.
The huge and magnificent magic fountain, the fireplace inlaid with golden borders, the towering magical fire and the exquisite magical lights echo each other...
This combination of magic and modern beauty fascinates every wizard who steps into it for the first time...
Harry was also pleasantly surprised, his eyes kept scanning around...
"Ivan, have you been here?" Hermione noticed that there was no unexpected expression on Ivan's face, she seemed to be familiar with it.
"More than a year ago, because of something happened once!" Ivan replied briefly.
"It's because of the wolf poison potion, right? You must have come here to register a patent..." Hermione thought for a while, and quickly guessed why Ivan came here.
Ivan nodded, the little witch guessed it was not wrong...
Under the leadership of Dumbledore ~www.mtlnovel.com~ After Ivan and others went to the front desk to register, they sat on the magic elevator and went underground, and finally passed through the corridors before seeing the dark in the courtroom. door.
In the waiting hall next to , there were intermittent crying faintly.
"Please, let him go..."
"He must be innocent, you can't convict him just because of a mark..."
...
Ivan was very strange, glanced inward as he approached.
The internal space of the waiting hall is very large, and there are many people in it. Most of them are Aurors and a small number of wizards wearing the same clothes as Dumbledore. They should be members of the Wizengarmore Tribunal.
It is worth mentioning that Sirius-Black and Pettigrew-Peter are also here.
"Sirius!" Harry was very excited and wanted to get closer, but was blocked by a few Aurors three meters away, and they had to talk at a distance.
I haven't seen it for a few days, Sirius's mental head looks good, compared to Peter Pettigrew, who is not far away, looks much worse.
Peter seemed to have lost a whole circle, his sparse hair **** randomly, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, a pair of small eyes looked around nervously, looking a little nervous...
Ivan was not surprised, because before he left the observatory, he had asked the dementors not to disturb Sirius as much as possible. As for what happened to Peter, he couldn't control it.
After staring at Peter for a while, Ivan's eyes turned to the side. The sound of crying just now came from there.
As far as Ivan's eyes were, stood an old witch, about 60 or 70 years old, wearing a shabby and old robe.
She doesn't look tall, she is squatting, with tears remaining in the corners of her eyes, she is constantly begging a member of the Wisengama Tribunal, and she is still holding a shiny golden thing tightly in her hand.
Perhaps feeling Ivan's gaze, the old witch turned her head, and after seeing Ivan's appearance, she stared at him with a hateful look.
Ivan felt a little strange because he didn't know each other.
However, the old witch blushed and waved the cane angrily, and struck him with a slap in the face.
Fortunately, the Auror who was next to him reacted in time and stopped the other person, but the old witch was indeed reluctant. She tried hard to break free, crying and shouting.
"You liars, scumbags! My son is a glorious Merlin knight, a hero who resists mysterious people..."
The member of the Wisengama Tribunal next to him waved his hand in annoyance, and the two Aurors dragged her out...
Hermione and Ron were scared enough by the old woman's behavior. Ivan had some guesses in his heart, but he turned his head to look at Dumbledore and asked.
"Professor, who is she?"
"That's Pettigrew's mother, Mrs. Peter!" Dumbledore sighed slowly, and replied.
Hearing this, Hermione and the others fell silent, and they looked at the old witch who was dragged out of the waiting room with pity.
Ivan shook his head secretly, no wonder the other party was so excited.
Any mother will be ecstatic when she learns that the child she has already sacrificed is actually still alive.
But the Auror who came to inform will soon break the other's fantasy!
Because of his identity as Pettigrew, he is no longer a hero who sacrificed honorably for his friends, but a thug who betrayed his friends, took refuge in the Dark Lord, and killed a large number of Muggles!
is now facing more than 20 accusations, and it is very likely that he will be executed immediately after this trial...
Such a contrast is obviously not acceptable to a 60-70-year-old witch.
Dumbledore suddenly reminded when he was there. "You need to pay attention. I learned from a friend of Wisengamao that Mrs. Peter will personally be Pettigrew's defender this time."
"But... she's so old! Can still be a defender?" Harry said in a speechless voice.
"Age is not a problem... Harry! Long years will make some people more wise! For example, this time Sirius's defender will be my responsibility." Dumbledore said jokingly.
"I didn't say what you meant, professor..." Harry hurriedly wanted to explain.
Dumbledore smiled and said that he didn't care, but soon he straightened his face and continued to speak.
"In short, you'd better not underestimate her because of her age. Mrs. Peter is not a good role to deal with. You must know that the merits of Pettigrew back then are far from enough for a first-class Merlin Medal!"
Dumbledore said very euphemistically, Harry couldn't understand what the old professor was talking about at all.
Ivan knew what Dumbledore wanted to express.
That is to say, the Merlin Knights originally did not intend to issue the first-class Merlin Medal to Peter Pettigrew. It is likely that Pettigrew's mother just made a fuss about the death of her son and won this honor!
Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help being a little bit stunned.
He knew how difficult it was to obtain a first-class Merlin Medal. He had done so many things that he had to nominate Dumbledore and Minister of Magic Fudge at the same time before the Merlin Knights were willing to consider it.
At that time, Little Dwarf had a good reputation for bravely going to death in order to avenge his friends, and he didn't have any merits.
In the Wizarding War, there are countless victims like Pettigrew, and it is not easy for his mother to win him the highest honor in the magical world.
After all, Peter Pettigrew was not born very well. He was not a pure-blooded family, and he must have no influence in the magical world.
Dumbledore will also recall the events of the year, and feel a headache. Peter Pettigrew's nomination for the Merlin Medal was submitted by him.
Firstly, Peter Pettigrew was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and secondly, it was because Peter's mother was too difficult.
This old woman cried, made troubles, and hanged herself trying to win the glory of the dead child, and she spent a full month for this!
Considering that the other party had just sacrificed his only son, he not only could not speak bad words, but also had to comfort the other party, so in desperation Dumbledore agreed to the nomination.
Originally, he thought it was just a cutscene, but he didn't expect to pass the application...
Dumbledore wondered whether other colleagues had the same experience as himself.
咚咚...
At this moment, the dull bell suddenly rang, and the Aurors in the waiting hall escorted Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew out as if they had received an order.
Dumbledore turned to look at Harry and the others, and finally reminded. "The court will start soon, don't be too nervous, you are here waiting for the summons, and when you are asked questions, just tell the truth!"
After finishing talking ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Dumbledore walked out the door with the Aurors.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione who stayed all looked very nervous. They discussed countermeasures in a low voice, even simulating mutual questions and answers...
"Ivan, aren't you nervous?" Hermione looked at him strangely.
Ivan shook his head. Although he was also the first time he went to the Wizarding Court, he had a great chance of winning this time. It was not him who was on trial. What's the cause of panic.
Harry and Ron didn't think so. They were crazy about the predicament they might encounter in the trial court, and anxiously asked Ivan how to deal with it.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore tell you? Just tell the truth! Just be careful not to be misled... If you have anything to hide, just say you don't know! I don't know! Anyway, don't lie!" Ivan was helpless. Said.
He thinks that the level of lying of Harry and others is so bad that it is easy to be seen through on the spot, so that the truths told before are no longer credible.
This is probably the reason why Dumbledore has always emphasized letting them tell the truth.
Harry and the others were chatting, the door of the waiting hall was suddenly opened, and a solemn Auror stood at the door and said to Ivan.
"Mr. Ivan Hals! Defender Albus Percival Woolfrick Brian Dumbledore asks you to testify in court!"
Ivan nodded, stood up, followed behind the Auror, and walked all the way to the door of the courtroom.
Auror opened the door and said blankly.
"Go in! Also, for the safety of the venue, you cannot bring your magic wand in!"
Hearing this rule, Ivan frowned, not sure if the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him.
But after hesitating for a while, Ivan still handed over the wand, because even if he lost the wand, he could still retain part of his combat power.
Besides, Dumbledore was also in the meeting, the other party should have no guts to mess around.
After the Auror confiscated the wand, he stretched out his hand to show him the way.
Ivan strode in, and noisy discussions continued to reach his ears, only to discover that there was a closed space inside.
The surrounding walls are made of dark stones, and the overall light is very dim. Only the magical fire standing on both sides illuminates the passage...
On the platform deliberately set aside in the center, Sirius and Pettigrew were sitting on two chains with their hands and feet handcuffed.
As defenders Dumbledore and Mrs. Peter accompanied them.
"I think I should have told it very clearly just now, the presiding judge!" Dumbledore's voice was very loud, reverberating in the closed courtroom.
"Ah! Yes!" The chief judge in a white robe stood on the high platform. He stared at Dumbledore for a while, then turned to Ivan who had just walked on the platform and asked.
"Mr. Ivan Hals! Just now Black's defender said that you discovered Peter's true identity, is that true?"
"Yes!" Ivan nodded and nodded.
"Please repeat it again!" The presiding judge stared at Ivan closely, and said in a deep voice.
"It started when I found a name on the map of Huodian a year ago..." Ivan told the story that had been told several times.
Although there are a lot of lies in this, Ivan has been tested for a long time, so his face is not red and heartbeat, and even his expression can fluctuate according to the needs of the situation.
After Ivan finished speaking, several staff members who were proficient in alchemy stepped forward and checked the live spot map in Ivan's mouth, confirming that the magic blessed above could indeed show the names of people in a region.
"Very good!" Hearing the feedback from the staff, the presiding judge no longer stared at Ivan, but turned to the little dwarf star tied to the seat.
"Then Mr. Peter has anything else to say?"
Dwarf star had a blank expression on his face, and his face kept changing.
He naturally understood what Ivan said just now, and there were scattered memories in his mind all the time, but they couldn't connect together anyway, which made him want to refute and don't know what to say.
Fortunately, at this moment, the old witch behind him paused fiercely on the crutch and roared.
"refute!"
Mrs. Peter looked around, glanced at the Wisengamo committee members sitting on both sides, and said tremblingly.
"Gentlemen and ladies... A year ago, a kid who had just entered the second grade was able to see through the transformation of Animagus? Is there a way to get rid of it on his own? This is ridiculous! He is lying, he must be Lying!"
Mrs. Peter looked at Ivan with hatred, as if she wanted to swallow him alive.
The committee members in the seat discussed each other. They felt that Mrs. Peter's words were very reasonable. It is impossible for a second-year student to understand Animagus Transfiguration so much, let alone successfully break it.
"Madam, I have to remind you that Mr. Hals has a very high level of transfiguration, and he was no worse than an average adult wizard in the second grade!"
Dumbledore's high tone overwhelmed the voices of those discussions and successfully attracted the attention of the committee members.
"Really? Please prove this to everyone!" The presiding judge looked at Ivan suspiciously. He didn't trust Dumbledore's words.
"Just give me a magic wand! I can demonstrate it on the spot..." Ivan is not afraid, and Transfiguration is his best magic.
The presiding judge gave the Auror on the side a look, and the latter knowingly returned the wand he had confiscated to Ivan.
For a while, everyone's eyes focused on Ivan, and the committee members whispered among the seats.
Ivan took the wand and lightly tapped a torch next to it.
The faint blue flame slammed up and then disappeared, and the iron base underneath quickly melted, changing its shape like a fluid.
But in a moment, the fluid slowly solidified. Another dwarf star tied to a chair appeared in front of the crowd, with the same confused look on his face as Peter. He opened his mouth to make a sound, but he blurted out some unexplained roars.
Ivan put away his magic wand and looked at such a "little star", but he secretly shook his head in his heart. It was still too difficult to make a living person.
Because everyone has corresponding characteristics, it is easy to distinguish, unlike deformed animals, as long as they are similar. More importantly, the deformed living person's IQ is too low, just like a mental retardation, so this attempt is considered a failure from Ivan's point of view...
However, other people present did not think so, Peter's mother straightened her eyes.
The "petty star" deformed by Ivan is almost indistinguishable from the real little dwarf star Peter. If she does not speak, it will be difficult for her to tell the truth from the false.
The presiding judge and the committee members who had also witnessed all this couldn't hide the shock in their hearts.
"What a wonderful transfiguration...If it weren't right in front of you, I can hardly imagine it was released by a third-grade kid..."
"Yeah, there is no flaw at all! This is beyond the level of most Aurors."
"Don't say it's an Auror, it turns out a living person, even I can't do it!"
...
The discussion became louder and louder~www.mtlnovel.com~ The wizards of Wezengarmo swept away the gazes they had just questioned. Several wizards even stood up with excitement, if it weren't for the Auror to stop them. I plan to go to the platform to take a closer look!
Dumbledore was also surprised that Ivan's transfiguration technique had improved in a short period of time, and he was deeply moved. According to this rate of progress, if a few more years passed, he was afraid that he would surpass himself.
"I think this should be enough to answer everyone's doubts!" Ivan didn't care about everyone's praise, waved his wand casually, changed the torch back to its original shape, and then looked at Peter's mother and continued to speak.
"In addition, as far as I know, your child Dwarf completed the Animagus Transfiguration technique before graduation! So I would like to ask Madam to have more trust and less doubt next time..."
Before the old witch could answer, Sirius sneered and said.
"That's because with the help of me and James, or Peter's guts, he will never practice!"
Hearing Sirius's remarks, Ivan glared at him quickly, but now is not the time to be stunned.
Sirius curled his lips and said nothing...
"You insulted my son so much!" Mrs. Peter reacted quite enthusiastically, waving the cane in her hand with excitement, trying to get it on Sirius's head.
But this cane was caught by one hand in the air, and Dumbledore stared at the old witch in front of him with a trace of anger on his face.
Mrs. Peter's rage was extinguished by a basin of cold water, shaking all over, trying to withdraw the cane from Dumbledore's hand, but she didn't have the courage.
"Quiet! Stop for me, this is the place where the trial court is not troublesome!" The presiding judge was very annoyed and patted the table.
Dumbledore let go of his hand, and the crutches dropped to the ground.
Mrs. Peter squatted slightly trembling and picked up her crutches. She crouched and looked at the presiding judge on the stage and said with a choked voice.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for my rudeness. As a mother, I and my child have been separated for more than ten years. Today, I have finally seen the last time...I...I can't talk to him again. Separated..."
In the end, Mrs. Peter even burst into tears on the spot, tearfully telling how lonely and helpless she was after the only child "dead" that year, and how a person struggled to survive in the magical world...
Coupled with Mrs. Peter's gray hair, old face and a mending gown, it makes the listener sad and the listener cry...
Ivan frowned. What Mrs. Peter said just now was nonsense that had nothing to do with the case, but the presiding judge didn't mean to interrupt. This was a very obvious bias.
Thinking of Dumbledore talking to him before, this time the presiding judge was elected by the Ministry of Magic, and Ivan had some enlightenment.
Obviously, for some people, the truth is far less important than political struggles. In order to add chaos to them, Fudge really did everything. The presiding judge's behavior just now was probably aimed at Dumbledore.
I noticed that the members of the surrounding committee were faintly touched and sympathetic under Mrs. Peter's howl of affection, and Ivan knew that he couldn't wait any longer!
The rules of court trials in the magical world are completely different from the country where Ivan lived in his previous life.
The votes of the committee members will greatly affect the final judgment. Generally speaking, the presiding judge will not violate the decisions of the committee members, not to mention that even the presiding judge is not on Sirius's side now.
Ivan was not sure how many of the committee members present were bought and how many remained neutral, but if Mrs. Peter continued to say that, the situation would definitely get worse.
Realizing this, Ivan decisively interrupted the old witch's cry and said.
"Mrs. Peter, you are wrong to say that! Your child Pettigrew is a Death Eater! He shamelessly revealed the Potter couple's hiding place to the mysterious man, betraying his willingness to surrender his life to him. My dear friend, almost destroyed the hope of the entire magic world!"
Ivan's impassioned tone made the committee members who had sympathized with the old witch recalled Peter's ugly deeds.
However, Ivan didn't mean to stop. He looked at everyone present and continued with a sharp voice.
"Harry Potter saved the entire magical world, saved all of us, so that we don't have to live under the brutal rule of mysterious people! But such a hero should have a happy family, love his parents, and enjoy him. Glory!
But all this was destroyed by Peter, a despicable betrayer, a running dog of a mysterious man! You must not know what kind of life our hero has been living for more than ten years!
He was adopted by his Muggle relatives! That Muggle family hates wizards and hates everything incomprehensible!
Poor Harry was treated unfairly there because of his extraordinary behavior since he was a child! Forced to live in a storage room that is a few square meters in size, do a lot of housework, wear clothes that others don't want, be bullied by peers, and often have to be hungry..."
What Ivan said was very bleak, and tried his best to restore Harry's life in the Muggle world. The success made most of the committee members angry at Harry's tragic experience.
"How dare those Muggles do this? It's a great honor to adopt Harry Potter! They dare to treat him like that!"
"Oh my God, I never knew Harry suffered so much grievances when he was a child, and thought that the Ministry of Magic would definitely arrange the best place for him!"
"What are the people at the Ministry of Magic doing? Why haven't you cared about Harry Potter for so many years?"
...
At the seats on both sides, the committee members were furious, and they continued to swear.
They have long forgotten the grievances of Mrs. Peter's life. In contrast, Muggles discriminate against wizards and heroes suffer injustice. These are more noticeable.
And there is no new generation of wizards who can sit here! Everyone has experienced the last wizarding war, experienced the horror of the mysterious man and the Death Eater army, and had some gratitude for Harry who ended the mysterious man.
Some infected witches looked at Peter with contempt, disdain, and irritation. Only one sane witch stood up and asked.
"Mr. Hals, can you guarantee that what you just said is true?"
"Yes, ma'am! Harry Potter is in the waiting hall now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and will testify in court afterwards. You can ask yourself when that time comes!" Ivan replied politely.
Ivan's words made some of the originally dubious committee members completely believe his statement, because no one would tell a lie that was quickly exposed.
Mrs. Peter witnessed the whole process that Ivan destroyed the atmosphere she had painstakingly created with just a few words and turned the situation around instantly. She immediately understood that she had encountered an opponent today!
For Dumbledore, who was also a defender, she was in awe but not afraid.
Because such a big person wants face, can't wipe away face and sell miserables, and will not play rascals like himself. More importantly, he is born in a strong position, which helps to construct himself as a weak and helpless, so as to win the committee members present. sympathy.
It's just that the little wizard in front of me didn't take this into consideration. Mrs. Peter knew that her usual strategy might be invalidated today...
Ivan was also looking at Mrs. Peter, who was still with tears in the corner of her eyes, and her face was full of playfulness.
Isn't it just selling badly? Who is afraid of whom! What I have here is a story!
"Quiet!" Seeing that the conversation became more and more biased, the presiding judge knocked on the table again, warning Ivan and Mrs. Peter not to say anything unrelated to the trial.
However, many committee members ignored him and kept talking in private. No matter how the presiding judge knocked on the table, it was of no avail...
The presiding judge has nothing to do, after all, he can't let the Auror drive all the committee members out...then the trial can't go on.
"Mrs. Peter, do you have any questions? If not, I will invite the next witness to come up and give a statement!" The presiding judge has only an accentuated tone to silence the noisy voices.
"Yes! Of course there is!" Although Ivan felt very tricky, Mrs. Peter didn't mean to admit defeat, but continued to speak loudly.
"At the beginning all of us knew that it was Black who betrayed Harry Potter's parents, not my child Dwarf!"
"Mrs. Peter! I have to interrupt you. I have already explained this to you before. Sirius and Pettigrew have secretly exchanged the identities of the secretaries!" Dumbledore interrupted the other party's words with a deep voice. Said.
"Who can prove this!" Mrs. Peter asked nonchalantly.
"You said about the secret exchange. Only Harry Potter's father James Potter, Black, and my child Dwarf know the situation! The problem is that Mr. Potter is dead, and my child has amnesia. Now I can only let you talk about it, it's not fair!"
"This is not a question of fairness or unfairness, Mrs. Peter! The law is about evidence! We found the Dark Mark on Pettigrew, but Sirius did not. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?" Dumbledore He gave a reply without delay.
While Dumbledore was speaking, an Auror stepped forward to cooperate and opened the sleeves of Peter Pettigrew, revealing the Mark of the Dark Devil and showing it to everyone.
Most of the committee members on the table have seen relevant reports, so they knew about the Dark Mark in advance, but now they feel a little fidgeting when they see it with their own eyes.
Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that this trial should almost be over, because this dark mark is the biggest evidence, enough to convict Pettigrew!
However, what he didn't expect was that Mrs. Peter didn't mean to give up. Even in the face of such evidence, Mrs. Peter didn't change her face, but instead shouted loudly.
"Enough! How can a real undercover agent engrave the mark of the Dark Devil on his body!
And my child has amnesia, he doesn't know anything...who knows what the Dark Mark is all about! Maybe someone forged a Dark Devil's mark, and then washed away his memory! "
"I heard that it was not the Auror who caught my son first, but you guys?" Mrs. Peter stared at them with hatred, that was obvious.
"Please stop making unreasonable troubles, Mrs. Peter!" Dumbledore said helplessly, and after a pause, he continued.
"After an investigation by the Ministry of Magic, the person who cleansed Peter Pettigrew's memory was a Death Eater who was on the run. If I want to do anything with him, I can probably do it before handing him over to the Ministry!"
"There is one other thing you said wrong. No one can forge the Dark Mark's mark! Because it is Voldemort's unique magic. It is filled with his magic power and is easy to identify! And I don't think anyone would dare to do this, after all. ...He is still there!"
Dumbledore's understatement caused the audience to fall into silence.
The wizard present had wrapped up the presiding judge on the stage, and after hearing Dumbledore's news that Voldemort still existed in the magical world, there was a chill in his heart.
It has been rumored in the magic world that the mysterious man actually did not die that night, but lost his power. Many people have speculated that the mysterious man was hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to plan, and one day he would return again!
But the Ministry of Magic has been denying this rumor over the years, insisting on stating that the mysterious man has been completely defeated, and all Death Eater minions have been imprisoned in Azkaban, and he will never come back again!
"Your Excellency Dumbledore, please don't make similar jokes in court!" The presiding judge's face was a bit ugly, he barely pulled out a smile, and said dryly.
"We all know this is not a joke, I'm just stating some facts!" Dumbledore replied lightly.
Ivan silently watched the scared expressions on everyone's faces, and suddenly felt a little funny.
These people were so afraid of Voldemort who had lost his power, but they dared to rebuke Dumbledore's words loudly...
But it is also true. Normal people dare to speak out against the police with guns, but if they encounter thugs with guns, they will only flee in fear.
It's nothing more than that the former speaks the rules and won't do it easily, while the latter has no scruples and kills when you see it!
There is also Mrs. Peter who has no scruples. She is very old, and there is only a child like Peter who has been lost now and will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope!
Even if Voldemort was resurrected in situ, it would not be able to reverse her will.
Therefore, she loudly threatened that Pettigrew was probably controlled by the Imperius Curse used by the Dark Lord, and was forced to become a Death Eater, or to join the Death Eater just for the purpose of obtaining information, she was actually an undercover.
"I can't understand him anymore. He is so timid and so kind. He can never be a betrayer... He has forgotten everything now. You still don't want to let him go... Please. , He's just a child!" Mrs. Peter choked with the little star on the chair.
No matter how Mrs. Peter cried, Dumbledore didn't show the slightest movement, he retorted.
"Don't deviate from the subject, Mrs. Peter! Even amnesia can't offset a person's fault~www.mtlnovel.com~ If you think your child is innocent, then please show me the corresponding evidence to prove Peter The purpose of sneaking into the Death Eater is to obtain information, otherwise he would be a complete Death Eater!"
Dumbledore's words completely angered Mrs. Peter, her expression suddenly became terrifying, and she stared at Dumbledore fiercely and spoke.
"I asked some Aurors and they told me that a professional wizard had identified them and that my child had forgotten spells many times in a short period of time."
"Maybe my son knew something. You forcibly tampered with his brain and handed him to the Auror. Then you felt that this was not safe enough, so you simply sneaked into the observatory and completely erased his memory!"
Having said this, Mrs. Peter suddenly turned her head to look at the presiding judge on the stage, gritted her teeth and said.
"Your Excellency the presiding judge, I want to test their wands! Use flashback spells!
Mrs. Peter's voice suddenly spread throughout the courtroom.
This is undoubtedly a very rude condition, and no wizard would be willing to be known what magic his wand has released.
However, in accordance with the requirements of the rules of the magic world, under certain circumstances, the Ministry of Magic will have the right to investigate a wizard's wand, including the use of flashback spells!
"Can you? Your Excellency Dumbledore?" the presiding judge asked aloud, narrowing his eyes.
"And that kid! He wants his wand too! He will forget the curse too!" Mrs. Peter's voice was a little hoarse, but very firm.
Dumbledore did not reply, but Ivan said without hesitation.
"No, I refuse!"
"Why?" The presiding judge looked at him suspiciously.
"Unless the one who sneaked into the observatory a few days ago to clean my son's memory was not the Death Eater, it was him!" Mrs. Peter's voice was sharp and thin, even with a hint of excitement.
Ivan ignored the old witch, but looked at the presiding judge and numerous committee members and explained.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the Hals family where I belong has some special magic, which have been passed down for hundreds of years. I clearly remember that the "Wizards' Rights Protection Act" mentioned that inherited magic It is top secret and should be protected!
In addition, I've said that after catching Peter Pettigrew, I used the Forgetting Curse on him several times to keep him secret. If you use the flashback curse to explore, you will surely find traces of the forgetting curse in my wand, so this is meaningless! "
Ivan talked eloquently, very thankful that he had learned a lot of knowledge of the law under the intimidation of Hermione, otherwise he would definitely be very passive now!
The flashback curse is a very special and unpopular investigative curse, and Ivan doesn't know much about it.
However, in the original time and space, it has been shown twice.
For the first time, Cedric Diggory's father used the flashback spell on Harry's wand on the venue of the World Cup and played back the bones to reproduce the magic.
The second time was when Voldemort had just resurrected to fight Harry, because the cores of the two wands were the same, so the flashback curse was accidentally triggered!
The magic wand in Voldemort's hand once again cast the used spells in flashbacks. Because of the deadly spells used, the "images" of those who were mutilated by Voldemort floated out of the magic wand!
So Ivan didn't want his wand to be cast by someone like this!
After all, he had used extremely lethal wands such as Thunderbolt and Shenfeng Wuying. If the black wizards who died in his hands floated out of the wand, it would be over!
Everyone present will immediately know that although they are not very old, they have killed a lot of people!
After Ivan made an explanation, the presiding judge on the stage suddenly fell into hesitation. The magical world does have regulations to protect inherited magic, and the main advocates are those powerful pure-blood families.
"Excuse! I never knew that the Hals family had so-called inherited magic, and as far as I know you are not among the pure-blood families!" Mrs. Peter retorted, and she became more and more convinced that her guess was correct.
During the debate between the two, the presiding judge on the stage and the two judges discussed for a while, and finally gave a compromise answer.
"Why not, we can continue to use the previous flashback curse, just check the magic you have released, and then judge the time for you to release these magic by the interval between the beams. How about four days?"
The presiding judge looked at Ivan, seeming to be asking, but there was unquestionable firmness in his words.
According to the Auror's report, the Pettigrew was attacked at the Hogwarts observatory three days ago, so it is only necessary to check this time period to confirm whether Ivan is the murderer.
In such a short period of time, the probability of using special magic is not high. This is also the biggest compromise he can make...
Dumbledore was also waiting for Ivan's answer. Compared to the others, he was seven to eight points certain that Pettigrew's amnesia was caused by Ivan.
Because the Death Eaters who escaped the trial in the first place are unlikely to take such a big risk to go to Hogwarts to impose the Forgetting Curse on Peter.
In addition, in his mind, only Ivan had this leisurely mind and the ability to avoid the Dementors and Aurors.
And his wand has been in the hands of Ivan these days, so Dumbledore is a little worried whether Ivan has used his wand to release the Forgotten Charm.
Not to mention Mrs. Peter, the more Ivan shied away, the more she felt that her guess was correct.
However, Ivan changed his attitude just now and agreed very quickly.
"Okay, yes, of course no problem! I said that I just don't want to expose the family's inheritance magic. It just so happens that I haven't practiced those spells in the past few days!"
Ivan's casual attitude surprised Mrs. Peter, and the faith in her heart began to faintly shake.
Auror immediately took the wand in Ivan's hand and put it on the table in the middle so that everyone could see it clearly.
"I will come personally!"
The Auror was about to cast the spell, but Mrs. Peter took a few steps illegally, squeezed the Auror away, raised the crutches, and shouted loudly.
"Flashback to the previous curse!"
As the spell was pronounced, almost the next moment, Ivan's wand began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding stone platforms showed signs of transformation.
This is a replay of the transformation spell cast just now!
"Flash back to the previous curse!" Mrs. Peter cast the spell again without waiting for the wand's trembling to stop. One second later, a beam of light flew from the top of the wand and hit the stone pillar, making a hole in the stone pillar.
This shows that Ivan used the Splitting Curse a day ago...
Then Mrs. Peter casts spells continuously~www.mtlnovel.com~ a series of spells flew out from the top of the wand, and the interval became longer and longer...
Mrs. Peter's expression gradually changed from expectation to despair, because all the spells emitted were ordinary spells, and none of them were forgotten spells.
"It's impossible, it's impossible! Flash back to the previous curse...Flash back to the previous curse!" Mrs. Peter couldn't believe the result, even though the interval between flying the magic wand in the wand had become extremely long, more than four days. Time limit, but she is still using the flashback spell continuously.
At this moment, a hand stretched out directly and took away the wand before Mrs. Peter cast the spell again.
"Stop it! My wand can't stand this kind of rough treatment..."
Ivan would not dare to let Mrs. Peter continue, otherwise, he might reveal that he had used the Forgetting Curse dozens of times on Peter Pettigrew...
That will definitely scare everyone...
Although Ivan feels that even if exposed, he can explain it, but Mrs. Peter will definitely be mad!
Ivan thinks it's better not to irritate the other person, lest she faint in court.
But one thing, feeling a little strange, he said. "Your Excellency, I want to ask why she can carry a cane...no, I mean a magic wand comes in?"
"Because Mrs. Peter told us that she can't walk without this crutch!" The chief judge replied somewhat helplessly.
Ivan curled his lips in dissatisfaction, why couldn't he tell? Obviously, when this old witch wanted to smoke Sirius with a cane, her legs and feet were very flexible!
While Ivan was silently complaining, Mrs. Peter asked to see Dumbledore's wand with the last glimmer of hope.
Needless to say, the end result was that neither wand had used the Forgotten Charm in four days.
The only episode in the middle was that the Auror couldn't force the old wand to backtrack the spell, and it was Dumbledore who solved it by himself.
"Your Excellency, I think Mrs. Peter has no other doubts. Now that the evidence is conclusive, can the sentence be pronounced?" After Dumbledore retracted the old wand, he raised his head and stared at the presiding judge on the stage.
On the side of the old witch looked a little lost, she muttered to herself, not knowing what she was talking about.
"Ah! It seems so right..." The presiding judge looked at the old witch with disappointment. As a judge, he was not too partial, so he could only speak out.
"We heard the testimony of Mr. Hals very clearly, but if we want to confirm the charge of Mr. Peter, we still need to listen to the testimony of other people! Mr. Hals, you can go back, now invite the next witness to come up. !"
After the presiding judge's voice fell, an Auror walked to Ivan's side and motioned for him to follow him and leave.
Ivan was happy to see nothing about himself, and then politely nodded to everyone, then turned and left the closed courtroom.
When he had just stepped into the threshold of the waiting hall, Harry and the others who were sitting inside hurriedly greeted him and asked in a frantic manner.
"Ivan... you're back! How is the matter?"
"Have we won the lawsuit?"
...
Ivan didn't mean to conceal it either. He casually talked about what happened on the court, and at the same time glanced at Ron's wand without any margin, feeling very grateful in his heart.
Three days ago, at the observatory, he used Ron's wand to release the Forgotten Curse, so of course Mrs. Peter couldn't find it no matter how.
"Mr. Harry Potter, please come with me!" The Auror behind Ivan quickly interrupted the conversation and said to Harry solemnly.
"Me?" Harry pointed to himself. Although he had expected it, he was a little nervous when he was about to play.
"Go, it's okay, Dumbledore and Sirius are there!" Ivan smiled comfortingly.
It seemed to him that after he had made his statement, the ending of this trial had been set, so Harry and the others just went for a cutscene.
Hearing Ivan's words, Harry immediately felt relieved and followed the Auror to the interrogation room.
Ivan just sat in the waiting hall chatting with Ron and Hermione while waiting for the outcome of the trial.
During the waiting for more than an hour, Ron and Hermione were called out one after another, and Harry returned to the waiting hall after the statement was over.
But Harry's expression looked a little weird, he watched Ivan hesitate to speak, and finally couldn't help asking.
"Ivan, what did you tell them in court before? I always think that many people look at me with weird eyes, and a strange lady asked me if I should move to live with her!"
"It's nothing, just talked a little bit about your life at your uncle's house. They sympathized with you a little bit!" Ivan replied with a smile.
"That's all from the past!" Harry said nonchalantly. "I have discussed with Sirius, and I will move to the big house of the Black family during the summer vacation this year!"
That's hard to say... Ivan opened his mouth to refute, because Dumbledore would never let Harry leave the Dursley house.
But soon Ivan closed his mouth again, anyway, Dumbledore would say at that time, there is no need to be this villain...
The two sat in the waiting hall for a long time.
Just as Ivan was a little impatient and began to complain that the trial process was too slow, Hermione and Ron finally returned to the waiting hall under the leadership of Auror, and brought good news that the result of the trial has come out!
"Really? How is it now?" Harry stood up for the first time and asked excitedly.
"Sirius was acquitted and released in court, and Peter Pettigrew was established in more than twenty accusations of slaying 13 Muggles, exposing the existence of the magical world, and war crimes..." Hermione repeated what the presiding judge had said. .
"Awesome!" Harry was about to jump up with joy when he heard the news.
"Then the presiding judge said how to punish Peter?" Ivan was curious about this instead.
"Of course, Peter will..."
Hermione was about to speak, but someone said it before her.
"Originally, the Ministry of Magic wanted to detain him for the rest of his life, but Peter is an Animagus, and it is not easy to detain him. The Ministry is not easy to send the Auror to stare at him every day, so he decided to give him a dementor kiss in seven days !"
When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads and looked over, but Sirius walked in from outside, and the shackles that had bound his hands had been removed.
Although Sirius looks a little disgusted because of his previous imprisonment~www.mtlnovel.com~, there is a smile on his face...
"Sirius, congratulations, you are finally free!" Ivan said congratulatedly.
"Thank you very much, Hals!" Sirius was very grateful. He learned from Dumbledore, Harry and others about what Ivan had done in the past few months.
Sirius knew very well that most of his success in overturning the case was due to this little wizard.
Otherwise, he might still have to worry about the Ministry of Magic's pursuit every day. At best, he sneaked into Hogwarts to kill Peter with some luck, and the truth could not be revealed at all.
Ivan waved his hand so that Sirius didn't care, he was just fulfilling his previous agreement, and then said jokingly. "Besides, I took you a firebolt, of course I have to do something..."
"Hahaha...If you like it, I will buy a few more and give it to you!" After the charges were cleared, Sirius looked a little complacent, as if he didn't care about the money.
