The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 551 Something Ada Doesn't Know
Yaxley was arrested in the afternoon, and his trial took place overnight in order to be on the front page of the next day's paper.It has been a long time since the Ministry of Magic has seen such a high work efficiency.

In the dark and dark courtroom, members of the Wizengamot sat on the high and stepped benches, as well as invited newspaper and magazine reporters, as well as some commoner wizards.

Shinkenis got his wish and sat at the head of the trial seat, and he finally got such an opportunity.

On his left was the newly appointed Chief of Law Enforcement, Arthur Weasley, and on his right, Lola Fournier, his assistant for the trial.In order to conceal Laura's identity, poor Miss Isabel went home again and fell asleep.

Ada also concealed her identity. She was wearing a fuchsia robe with a delicate silver "W" embroidered on her left chest. She replaced the identity of a Wizengamot and appeared at the scene of the trial. .

Before the trial began, Ada, who was hiding her identity, met Dumbledore. As the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, Dumbledore would naturally attend the trial.

It was just over a month since I saw him, but Ada felt that Dumbledore seemed to be several years old all of a sudden, and one of his hands became dry and black, as if the flesh on it had been burnt dry.

Whenever someone asked about his hand, Dumbledore would laugh and say "it was just a little accident".But Ada didn't think it was a small accident. Although the specific reason for Dumbledore's injury was not clear, the Horcrux must be related.

Seeing Dumbledore again today also confirmed Ada's previous suspicions.The greatest headmaster Hogwarts has ever had, the ceiling of the wizarding world really hurts.

It would be a lie to say that she was not sad, and it would be a lie to say that she was not worried. Ada's mind became a little complicated, so that the trial had begun for a long time, but she didn't listen to a single word.

Maybe that's why Dumbledore and Snape are hiding it.

Cobain Yaxley was chained like snakes in the armchair in the middle of the courtroom, and he was still wearing his expensive wizard robes from the day and his hair was still in place.

There was no trace of fear or panic on Yaxley's face. He looked contemptuously at Thicknesse on the seat, and also dismissed the Wizengamot members around him.

"I'm not a Death Eater, I was framed," Yaxley said, his voice loud and clear to everyone in the courtroom. Proved innocent, and I have worked diligently for the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years, I am innocent. The guilty ones, there!"

Yaxley raised his bound hands and pointed at Thicknesse with difficulty.

When Voldemort fell for the first time, the Ministry of Magic purged his henchmen and captured many Death Eaters.However, some of the arrested Death Eaters insisted that they were innocent and that they were under the Imperius Curse.

This Unforgivable Curse brought great trouble to the work of the Ministry of Magic during that period of time, and led to Lucius Malfoy and other Death Eaters being successfully exonerated and at large.

It was not until the Battle of the Department of Mysteries more than a month ago that Lucius Malfoy was identified as a Death Eater and received the punishment he deserved.It is a pity that Voldemort showed great power and rescued the captured Death Eaters from Azkaban.

"Just now I have cited a lot of evidence, including you leaking the whereabouts of former Director of Legal Enforcement Amelia Burns, Florin Fusco's early transfer plan, and collaborating with Luke Wood to leak internal information from the Department of Mysteries. etc."

Sinkenis said sharply: "There are all personal and material evidence, and you cannot deny it!"

During the time when Ida was distracted, Thickness produced a series of evidence, especially the testimony of Fusco's transfer plan.The people controlled by Yaxley's Imperius Curse were originally arranged in order to prove Yaxley's identity as a traitor.

"Repudiation? You are just clearing out dissidents and trying to secure the position of minister!" Yaxley said loudly, "Esmeralda Drizzt, that devil from France, you and her Do you think everyone doesn't know what's going on in the room!"

There was a murmur in the room.Whether it was members of the Wizengamot or the invited reporters, many people were sizing up Thickness, waiting for his response.

Whether he was poked in the foot and flew into a rage, or he didn't care and continued to judge Yaxley.

Someone Cornelius Fudge and the best of the Ministry of Magic couldn't catch, someone who escaped Rufus Scrimgeour's custody without a wand, how did you Piers Thicknesse catch her, This is the question in many people's mind.

Previously, Scrimgeour also bluntly pointed out that Thicknesse had colluded with Ada, and Thicknesse's rise to power was the result of Ada's support.Although this is true, but no one can find evidence, Thickness's seat is secure.

As for Ada, the Ministry of Magic's attitude towards Ada is somewhat contradictory and embarrassing at this stage.

On the one hand, Ada did violate the laws formulated by the Ministry of Magic, and even killed many employees of the Ministry of Magic.But on the other hand, Ada was the first person to see Voldemort, and the first person to resist Voldemort, and even helped the Ministry of Magic in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.

In the recent period, Voldemort and the Death Eaters have frequently caused murders. Either wizards died or disappeared, or they created accidents to persecute Muggles, and the methods were extremely cruel.

In contrast, Ada is a good baby, honestly in front of a home girl.Moreover, the conflict between Ida and the Ministry of Magic has never been settled. After Fudge stepped down, she couldn't even see anyone.

Coupled with the continuous whitewashing of some newspapers and magazines, as well as the deliberate guidance of some people, the impression of many people in the ministry on Ada has changed, and it is no longer as bad as before.

Even if Ida is standing upright in front of a group of Aurors now, the Aurors may not choose to arrest them, but most likely they will choose to turn a blind eye and be blind.

You say arrest, she is the backbone of the fight against Voldemort, and her own strength is top-notch, so people like herself are free to go up; if you say not to arrest, she has indeed violated the law.

Just pretend you didn't see it, and if you don't see it, you don't worry about it.

The mysterious man, a dangerous and dangerous dark lord, is the top priority of the Ministry of Magic's work.

It was the Ministry of Magic's last stubbornness to not revoke the arrest and reward for Ada.I, the Ministry of Magic, will arrest people, but when and how to arrest them are our own problems, so don't inquire about them.

"Your slanderous words cannot cover up your shameful crimes, Yaxley," said Thicknesse. "Even if I am not a Minister today, you will not escape punishment and still have to atone for the crimes you committed."

Thinknes looked at Yaxley with pitiful eyes, and said, "In addition, I might as well tell you one thing, I am re-discussing Esmeralda with the Wizengamot and several leaders of the International Federation of Wizards. Drizzt’s case re-characterizes her previous behavior of attacking employees of the Ministry of Magic. The right and wrong are in my mind, and I will go to Azkaban to tell you when the results come out.”

The voice fell to the ground, and the whispers in the room became louder, like boiling water about to boil.

The wizard sitting next to Ada was also asking her if she knew about it.Ada didn't know whether the Wizengamot she was replacing knew about it, anyway, she didn't know about it herself.

Ada never asked Thickness to do anything like this.From Ada's point of view, there are many difficulties in washing her identity. At this stage, she doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing, she can wait.

Obviously, Ada can afford to wait and doesn't care about waiting any longer, but some people don't want to wait any longer, and some people are eager to whiten Ada's face and let her go to the front desk again and stand in a conspicuous position.

Although Thickness is the Minister of Magic, his first rise to the top position did not promote the prestige of this matter.Ada can only think of one person who can raise this issue and promote it.

The knocking sound of the gavel sounded again, suppressing the discussion of everyone present, and the courtroom became quiet again.

Thickness said: "Cobain Yaxley, participated in illegal Death Eater gatherings, tortured and slaughtered Muggles; betrayed the intelligence of the Department of Mysteries, causing the Department of Mysteries to be destroyed by mysterious people; leaked Amelia Born Si's whereabouts, leading to his brutal murder by a mysterious person; leaking the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement department's combat plan, resulting in the death and injury of many staff..."

After reading all Yaxley's crimes aloud, Thicknesse scanned the dim room before continuing: "Now I ask the jury to vote, and I think that these crimes should be sentenced in Ards. Kaban is imprisoned for life, please raise your hand!"

The wizards in the courtroom raised their hands in unison, and the sound of their robes rubbing together became one.

The invited reporters and audience began to applaud. Although they did not have the right to vote, they also believed that Yaxley deserved what he deserved, and their applause was their thoughts.

"Convicted and sentenced Cobain Yaxley to life imprisonment in Azkaban!" Shinkenis struck the gavel again.

As the gavel fell, the Ministry of Magic completed its trial of a Death Eater, effectively proclaiming that the Ministry was trustworthy and that You-Know-Who and his henchmen were not invincible.
