Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 367 Court Trial (Part 1)

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the natural villain of Harry Potter!

After the party was over, Lucius began to run around for his son, and Malfoy stayed in his home and spent a relatively smooth time.

The final trial is scheduled for Friday.

There is no public hearing.

The news was blocked very well. Under Umbridge’s "recommendations" and methods, the trial was limited to a small circle, and the results would be announced to the public after it was over.

Presumably, with the help of the Daily Prophet, public opinion will soon be changed.

The Malfoys rushed to the Ministry of Magic early, and compared to the last time Lucius's inability to lawsuit against Dumbledore, they were more frightened. This time, they felt much lighter.

Especially Lucius, knowing it well.

Narcissa even fought for her son's different privileges to be handcuffed. When being tried, the chains on the armrests of the chair would not maliciously restrain him.

They all came early, and Malfoy sat on the chair in the center of the room, staring at the rows of empty benches that stretched from low to high in front of him.

He is not worried about the outcome of this trial, it is already doomed.

Afterwards, the door was opened, and a faint light illuminates the dim room, and people came in one after another, taking advantage of the dim torch light that is better than nothing, and sat in sequence.

A middle-aged man walked very fast, dragging his robes, walked all the way to the first row, and sat down with Lucius.

"Lucius, I hope that after this trial, I can give my daughter a surprise, and that kid in your family can give me a bit of anger." Hector Parkinson frowned and said, patted Lu Xiu affectionately. The shoulders.

It is equivalent to a disguised cheer.

"Let's wait and see." Lusiusk nodded, leaning his cane on the seat.

Dozens of jury members wearing purple-red robes began to enter the arena one after another. Just after they found their seats and took their seats, there were ten drumming bells above their heads, with a very penetrating sound. Going over the stone walls, came to the courtroom.

Time is up.

"If everyone is here, I think I can start, okay?" Umbridge said while standing and dragging her delicately.

What I have to say is that Umbridge, as a boss who squeezes and controls himself, will look very annoying.

But when she approaches someone to please someone, the convenience she gets is beyond imagination.

For example, now Malfoy sees that most of the jury members in the audience now smile kindly at him and nod his head. Umbridge takes a large part of the credit.

Of course, his father also put a lot of effort into it.

Moving for profit is enough to make many neutral people fall to them.

There are a few exceptions, and the gaze towards Malfoy is full of hostility and doubt.

A man sitting in the front row, his brown hair was like lion's hair, but scattered, his eyebrows were deeply sunken, and he looked terrified.

Rufus Scrimgeour, looking forward with those wide-eyed eyes, was not angry.

As a strong competitor to the previous minister, he was very uncomfortable with Umbridge's strategy of inaction.

Especially now that Dumbledore is dead, the situation is worse, and a radical person is needed to stand up and carry the current situation.

In his eyes, Malfoy was very suspicious and worthy of torture.

But Umbridge stood on the platform for him, and even reached out to the Wiesengama Court, many people were persuaded by her.

The impact of Dumbledore’s death is not limited to Hogwarts, but now, Dumbledore’s speech here not long ago, the testimony of his students, at that time, there were many people who were deeply convinced. , And now it has changed direction.

The position is extremely easy to change.

Percy of the Weasleys stood respectfully behind Umbridge, using a quill pen to record something on the parchment, and then stopped again, waiting for the court to begin.

Malfoy scanned his eyes and even saw Professor McGonagall, who had only seen him not long ago, her eagle-like sharp eyes gleaming in the dark courtroom, staring at him motionlessly.

That is the gaze of pure scrutiny.

Of course she didn't know that Malfoy caused the Hogwarts commotion not long ago.

And nothing more.

Because nothing seemed to be lost and no one was injured.

Of course, Ron's nose injury shouldn't be counted. After Madam Pomfrey's treatment, he healed in one night.

The other anomaly was that Pansy was wandering all day.

But no one will connect this to that riot, will they?Who cares about the psychology of a female student? At this age, emotional changes are quite normal.

The school then took another day off to ease the situation, and classes resumed the day after the funeral.

On the evening before resuming the course, she was preparing to fulfill her duties as the new principal. When she started to work, an owl carried a red envelope and slammed open the glass window and broke into her office.

She tore open the envelope, and with the thin lenses, she read on, and received another request from the Ministry of Magic to listen.

So I came here this morning.

Looking at Malfoy on the podium, she was still inexplicably sad.

Last time, Dumbledore stood in the same position and was being questioned, but now everything is nonsense.

Regarding the performance of this student, she still hopes that he is innocent, hoping that she can be convinced.

This is out of the vision of a teacher. There is no normal teacher who hopes that his students will go astray, especially her kind of staid and obstinate witch.

"Alright." Umbridge cleared his throat and knocked on the small hammer placed on the table in front of him.

With the two beeps of "Boom Boom", everyone's attention was attracted.

"In order to save everyone's time, how about we skip the accusation against Mr. Draco Malfoy? After all, at the last trial, everyone already knew what happened to him."

The members of the jury began to whisper, as if recalling the scene of the previous trial.

Few people raised objections.

Because the position of most people was clear before the hearing.

In the previous trial, Dumbledore was eloquent, and the arguments of several testimonies forced Lucius to a dead end. If he hadn't left because of Azkaban at the last minute, he would be able to conclude the conclusion.

However, with his "death", the situation became reversed.

The victim and witness Barty Crouch did not know that for any reason he did not participate in this new trial.

Now, almost all the unfavorable factors for Malfoy have been reduced, and the favorable factors are in a dominant position.

Coupled with Umbridge's deliberate guidance, everything is developing in a good direction.

Whitewashing, under the coercion of power and the temptation of wealth, does not seem to be as difficult as imagined.
