Big Boss In The Harry Potter World

Chapter 403: Revisiting The Old Place



The forces within the Ministry of Magic are intertwined. Those pure-blood wizards who occupy high positions are not all of the same mind. They had already received news that the famous Harry Potter was going to come to the Ministry of Magic for a hearing, but these big shots with huge influence within the Ministry of Magic had different views on this.

Harry was like the eye of a storm, completely unaware of the confrontations and calculations surrounding him. If you want to know who are friends and who are enemies, Harry's hearing is a good opportunity to expose some people in the Ministry of Magic who have never been clear about their positions.

The standard of the hearing is very high, and it cannot be higher than this - all members of the Wizengamot will be present at this hearing. The senior managers of the Ministry of Magic are basically members of the Wizengamot. In addition, there are some retired wizards and wizards with reputation in the wizarding world who together form the Wizengamot, the highest level court in the wizarding world.

It is very important to distinguish between friends and enemies in a struggle, and this is the same for the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters. The struggle will soon become fierce, and they need to know who needs to be targeted and who can provide help. And Harry Potter's hearing this time is a very good opportunity.

With this goal in mind, both the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters used their influence within the Ministry of Magic to turn a small matter of off-campus spellcasting into something that was easy to handle and completely unnecessary to make a big deal out of. A question of taking sides.

So when Harry came to the hall of the Ministry of Magic with Mr. Weasley as a guest of the Ministry of Magic to undergo the wand test, he could clearly feel the strangeness of the atmosphere: when the wizard named Eric called out his name, Harry could clearly feel He saw the eyes staring at him all around - it was a kind of vigilant and scrutinizing gaze.

Harry was in no mood to think about this. He was extremely nervous now. Although Sirius said that he would not be expelled from Hogwarts, Harry couldn't help but think about the worst: where could he go if he was expelled from Hogwarts? ?Will he return to the Dursley family? If he is expelled, where can he live as an adult? Maybe the Weasley family will be kind enough to take him in, or will he go live with Sirius?

Harry was pushed by the crowd and walked through the door with Mr. Weasley into a smaller hall over there. There are at least twenty elevators there, blocked by elaborate golden gates. Harry and Mr. Weasley walked into the crowd surrounding an elevator. Standing next to him was a tall, unshaven wizard holding a large cardboard box in his arms, which made a harsh friction sound.

"Are you okay, Arthur?" the wizard said, nodding to Mr. Weasley.

"What do you have in there, Bob?" Mr. Weasley asked, looking at the cardboard box.

"Not sure yet." The wizard said seriously, "We thought it was an ordinary chicken, but we didn't expect it to spit out fire. In my opinion, this seems to be a serious violation of the "Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments" law."

"It's like Hagrid's Blast-Ended Skrewt." Harry couldn't help but hear the disgusting slimy stuff that Hagrid had cultivated.

When Harry and Mr. Weasley left the elevator, there was no one in the elevator.

"Second floor, Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Including the Department for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic, Auror Command and the Wizengamot Administration." Harry remembered what the female voice in the elevator had announced.

Just when Mr. Weasley and Kingsley finished chatting and took Harry back to his small, short and shabby office, Mr. Weasley's colleague and his only colleague told them a bad news. news.

"They changed the time and place -" the old man named Perkins gasped, as if he had just run a long way, - changed it to eight o'clock (afab) It's in the old tenth courtroom down there, take him there quickly, he's late!"

Mr. Weasley seemed frightened and jumped out from behind his desk.

"Come on, Harry, we should have been there five minutes ago!"

Perkins leaned against the filing cabinet to get out of the way, and Mr. Weasley sprinted out of the office, Harry following closely behind.

"Why did they change the time?" Harry asked breathlessly. They ran past the Auror cubicles in a hurry, and people poked their heads out and watched in surprise as they rushed past. Harry felt as if he had left his entire innards behind Perkins' desk.

It is not allowed to be late for a hearing attended by all members of the Wizengamot. Being late for five minutes will be treated as a no-show, and the consequences can be big or small. Logically speaking, the change of time and location will be notified in advance, but... mentioning it for even one second is considered to be in advance. As long as Harry is late for his hearing, then some people will have room to maneuver. , although it will not affect the overall situation, "but it can still be done by involving Dumbledore's time and energy.

In the final analysis, all this is just a struggle between the two great wizards Dumbledore and Voldemort. All of them are just flags, with different importance.

Just like Perkins, who ran out of breath just now. Anyone with a brain would know that he must be Dumbledore's man. Otherwise, how would he know that Weasley would take Harry to their office to rest? And why would he run in such a hurry? Come here to deliver a message?

But none of this had anything to do with Harry himself. When he gasped and pushed open the heavy iron door, he was too frightened to notice the things happening around him.

The deep dark room that Harry walked into was so familiar to him, he recognized it. Not only had he seen it before, he had been here before. This was the place he had seen in Dumbledore's Pensieve. It was here that he witnessed the Lestranges being sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, Karkaroff's trial and Barty Jr.'s arrest. . According to Sirius, he was originally prepared to be tried here, but Barty Crouch at the time thought he was too dangerous and threw Sirius directly into Azkaban.

Harry may be slow at times, but even Harry realized something was wrong. He was being tried in the same place where Death Eaters were tried for a case of casting spells outside the school?

The surrounding walls were made of black stone, and the light from the torches was dim and gloomy. On both sides of him were rows of empty benches that were gradually rising, and in front of him, on the highest benches, many dark figures suddenly appeared. They had been whispering, and when the heavy door closed behind Harry, an ominous silence fell.
