Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 111 Trial
If the place had not been controlled by the Order of the Phoenix and cast a counter-curse of disembodiment, Dumbledore would still be able to react even if he was suddenly attacked.
However, nothing happened. The green Death Curse, accompanied by Voldemort’s ear-piercing laughter, crashed directly into Dumbledore’s body.
“Sure enough, I’m still old!” Dumbledore thought of the scene of his remote conversation with Gretel on the day he decided to take action.
“If you are so well prepared, no one will miss.” Gretel said with a smile.
Dumbledore also relieved his heavy burden for the first time in a long time. Indeed, Gretel helped them complete all the preliminary work.
What’s left is the relatively simple finishing step. It’s still dangerous, but compared to the fact that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark, we can fight the Death Eaters with a blind eye.
Now this situation is simpler than ever imagined.
Even with Severus as an internal agent, he never thought that the decisive battle with the Death Eaters led by Voldemort would be so simple.
In fact, Voldemort’s words did not cause too many disturbances to Dumbledore.
He was in a trance because he thought that in the past few decades, when he looked at every little wizard who came from the orphanage to study at Hogwarts, his eyes would always be filled with suspicion.
He really didn’t want another Voldemort to appear under his nose.
Gretel, especially.
After Voldemort complained, Dumbledore suddenly wondered whether Gretel’s separation from him was because he felt his distrust.
Voldemort’s sudden attack not only caught Dumbledore by surprise, but also made everyone present feel their hearts in their throats.
Many people are exclaiming in their hearts, it’s over, the only person who can compete with the Dark Lord is gone, what will happen in the future.
The faint green color representing death reflected clearly in Dumbledore’s eyes.
He could already sense the malice contained in the Death Curse, and the naked and undisguised wish for him to die was so obvious.
A second before the curse was cast, a voice rang in Dumbledore’s ear, “Old man, I just said you can’t raise the flag. You don’t believe it. You are like the old general on the stage…”
Gretel suddenly appeared next to Dumbledore, telling a joke that only he could understand.
Fortunately, Voldemort talked a lot, but if he didn’t talk for a second, even if Gretel transformed into a magic particle, he wouldn’t be able to catch up with the rescue.
Moments before the light of the Death Curse struck, Gretel cast his own protective spell, ‘Utopia’, on Dumbledore. ’
That was the first spell he created after entering the wizarding world. The inspiration was given to him by Voldemort in class.
It was also from that time that he officially stepped into the door of transforming magic and creating magic.
This curse also symbolizes his uneasy heart when he first entered the magical world. He longed for the day when he could use this curse to resist the unsolvable death curse in the magical world.
However, in later research, he discovered that this curse was too perfect, causing its upper limit to be tightly locked. It could only block evil curses targeting the body, but had no possibility of resisting death curses targeting the soul.
The effect of the Death Curse is based on the thoughts flowing out of the wand along with the curse.
Fortunately, this problem was successfully solved after he obtained Voldemort’s memory.
As the person who knows Professor Fu best in the world, Gretel’s revised Utopia really has the ability to resist the death curse that he once longed for.
In other words, Utopia may not be able to block the death curse of anyone else in the world, but it can definitely block Voldemort’s death curse.
Gretel didn’t even need to bring the belief of protection when casting the spell. He only needed to say no to Voldemort’s death thoughts to turn the death curse into a perfect firework.
Of course, it’s the same now. Gretel put a protective curse on Dumbledore in time, and the death curse was about to take Dumbledore to the kingdom of death.
At the last moment, he ran into an ideal land that seemed to be a thin layer, but was actually like a fortress wall.
There were no fireworks, the round spherical shield only had a small ripple, and then calmed down in an instant.
At the same time that Gretel’s true form appeared, Snape, who went to capture Nagini, also came to the scene.
In front of Voldemort, Gretel destroyed the Horcruxes he brought with him, and by the way, Nagini, who had killed Snape in the original world, was crushed to ashes.
All these actions were completed in a flash of lightning.
Afterwards, after splitting Horcruxes many times, Voldemort, whose brain was already in trouble, completely fell into madness.
Gretel may still be in a hurry to deal with Dumbledore, but to deal with Voldemort, Gretel only needs to immerse himself in his memory.
Following his habit, the Dark Lord, who had been running away for most of the night, had no power at all.
No matter what kind of spell he cast, Gretel could always cast the targeted spell one step ahead of him.
In order to prevent something from happening again, Gretel spared no effort to drain Voldemort’s magic power.
With a disarming spell and the finishing touch of falling asleep, Voldemort fell straight to the ground with an unwilling expression.
…
Tenth floor underground of the Ministry of Magic, the First Inquisition.
Voldemort, with his limbs tied tightly, sat in the center of the Inquisition.
He was surrounded by members of the Wizengamot wearing purple robes, serious-looking officials from the Ministry of Magic, and the major families of the Ministry of Magic who had many empty seats.
Dumbledore cleared his throat, his majestic voice echoing throughout the courtroom.
“Voldemort, whose real name is Tom Riddle, has committed murder, war crimes, and attempts to subvert the wizarding world in the past few decades… more than thirty crimes. Do you plead guilty?”
Voldemort was unwilling to reply at all, but glanced around coldly, “My fault was that I didn’t kill all these insects like you. Don’t worry, even if I go to hell, I will crawl back again, one by one. Take you guys down.”
His dark and evil voice seemed to be whispering in everyone’s ears, and everyone who heard his voice shuddered.
It has been too long. If it were more than ten years ago, during the craziest days of the Death Eaters, even if they caught Voldemort, they would not dare to sit in this court so openly and observe the trial against the Dark Lord.
However, when they heard Voldemort’s curse again, everyone present who had experienced that dark time couldn’t help but recall the embarrassment of that period.
However, next, their eyes burst out with the same amount of anger.
Indeed, their fear of Voldemort was almost deep in their bones, and no one was afraid that the Dark Lord would come to their door with his group of crazy dogs.
But so what, now, the once invincible Dark Lord in the wizarding world is just a poor prisoner.
News has spread in the market that all the magic items used by the Dark Lord to resurrect have been destroyed, and he has no chance to come back again.
So what are they afraid of? The fear in their hearts turned into the nourishment of anger, and the serious atmosphere in the trial court gradually became chaotic.
All the people sitting here, in addition to the Wizengamot members and necessary Ministry of Magic officials, are also journalists responsible for writing newspapers and periodicals.
Of all the people left, who didn’t have a deep hatred against Voldemort?
Their friends and family, many of whom didn’t even show up, were just hiding in their homes.
They would all be dragged out and tortured to death by those unscrupulous Death Eaters.
As soon as they recalled those unbearable days, the old and new hatreds in their hearts completely exploded.
“Kill him, kill him!”
Dumbledore raised his wand, and a spell passed through the room, causing silence in the courtroom.
Regarding Voldemort’s punishment, the wizards of the Wizengamot reached a consensus before the trial.
It is true that the magic world rarely uses the death penalty. Even for those who are irreparably guilty, they usually throw the prisoner into Azkaban after sentencing.
But Voldemort is different. Not to mention those well-hidden servants, his magic power cannot be controlled by the group of dementors in Azkaban.
Moreover, according to Gretel’s information, Dumbledore already knew that the Death Eaters had been secretly contacting the Dementors.
Putting Voldemort in Azkaban would be like letting the tiger go home.
Therefore, there was only one punishment they agreed on, and that was the death penalty.
And because Voldemort’s research on the soul was too profound, his soul must be destroyed while destroying his body.
However, all the magic spells in the magic world that can target the souls of the dead have been lost without exception.
Perhaps some clues can be found in the library of a ‘big’ family.
However, in the current orderly environment of the magical world, no one dares to risk taking it out.
Finally, some clever guy came up with his own solution: dementors.
Just a few days before Voldemort’s trial, Harry Potter used the Invocation Guard to drive away the dementors who appeared there inexplicably in order to protect himself and his Muggle cousin on Privet Drive.
Afterwards, it was here that they conducted the trial and defense of Harry Potter.
This proposal was agreed by almost everyone. The Dementor’s function is not only to absorb the happy memories of the people around him, but its ‘mouth’ hidden under the hood can also destroy the soul of the prisoner.
Those prisoners who were imprisoned until they collapsed in Azkaban were executed by dementors in this way.
Therefore, even if wizards are extremely tired of dementors, they have to pinch their noses and praise this idea.
It is true that Voldemort did not intend to plead guilty, but this trial was not meant to be a simple trial.
In order to restore order, they must present Voldemort’s trial process in front of all wizards.
This is the real purpose of this trial.
…
In addition to Voldemort, there is another person involved in this trial.
It was Connery Fudge, the former Minister of Magic who was sitting next to Voldemort. After Voldemort was captured, his hair turned gray overnight and his face looked depressed.
In the past month, he had been waving the flag in the wizarding world, saying that Voldemort’s return was alarmist.
He once controlled the public opinion of the entire magical world. If Voldemort had not been arrested, I don’t know how many people would have died in the war in the future.
Just now, everyone was shouting for Voldemort to be executed, which made the fat-bellied former Ministry of Magic nervous and turned pale with fear.
After being the Minister of Magic for many years, he had really forgotten the time when Death Eaters once wreaked havoc on the wizarding world.
In order to keep his ministerial position and the power in his hands, he did not hesitate to go to the trouble himself, just to dispel the ‘rumors’.
Now, after seeing the jury’s hatred of Voldemort in person, Connery Fudge realized how big of a mistake he had made.
——
In early August, the “Daily Prophet” produced by the Ministry of Magic ushered in an additional issue day for the first time. It was reissued more than ten times in one day, becoming the best-selling publication in the wizarding world that month.
There is no way, the Ministry of Magic’s Inquisition only allows reporters directly under the Ministry of Magic to enter.
This kind of exclusive news can only be obtained by the Daily Prophet.
Whether it was Voldemort’s wild words in court, or his gradual exhaustion in front of the dementors, and later, he was torn into pieces by the swarming wizards, leaving no bones left.
Everything was printed exactly as it was.
Former Minister of Magic Connery Fudge, because of his good attitude in pleading guilty, donated all his family property just to make up for all the wizarding families who had been harmed by Death Eaters.
Therefore, the Wizengamot Council, in front of all officials of the Ministry of Magic, announced that he had been abolished as Minister of Magic and replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour, the former Head of the Auror Office.
Rufus Scrimgeour, the new Minister of Magic, opened up an old score on the first day he took office. He was once imprisoned in Azkaban and committed a heinous crime. However, he saved a life, but was sentenced to life imprisonment for eating death. The disciples were all sentenced to death.
Of course, no one knew that the wizards were lamenting that the British magical world had welcomed a iron-blooded minister.
The Death Eaters, who had been declared executed and actually wrapped as mummies, were packed into a Muggle freighter and sailed along the coast to Moldova on the edge of Europe.
There is no way around it. Many of the projects that Grete is currently researching are indispensable for “volunteer” experimental subjects.
However, it is his life principle not to conduct human experiments on people.
In the end, this heavy burden had to fall on the Death Eaters, who were humanoid and heartless.
Scrimgeour believed that these heinous Death Eaters would use their own ‘efforts’ to wash away the sins they had carried in the past.
At least, that’s what Mike Gretel, the leader of Dawn, promised him. He promised that the research results would fall on everyone in the world, whether he is a wizard or a Muggle.
His contact with Dawn began before Dawn was officially launched.
In an ‘accidental’ situation, he came into contact with Seni Dilgo, a senior cadre of Dawn.
That young man, even when he thinks about it now, he feels amazing. Every suggestion he puts forward is in perfect harmony with his heart.
However, in the past, he only knew how to protect Muggles and live in peace with Muggles, but he had no idea how to do it.
Fortunately, he later met Mike Grete, the light of the future in his eyes.
Everything, for the new era.
