Chapter 992 Harry realizes it again
The trial has ended, and Harry has successfully overcome the current predicament.
However, his mood did not improve because of his venting. His intuition told Harry that Cornelius Fudge would still cause trouble for him before he lost his position as Minister of Magic.
As for swallowing his anger and pretending that he didn't know that Fudge sent dementors to attack him? When you forced yourself to come to the Ministry of Magic to stand trial, you also used despicable means to frame yourself?
Even if Harry was really willing to swallow all his grievances, Fudge had no intention of letting him go.
Keeping on giving in will only make things worse, and will only make others think you are weak and can be bullied.
Stand up to resist, even if you lose, it won't be too tragic, because the other party will also be injured and scared. Even Voldemort is afraid of death, let alone other people.
"How about it?"
Mr. Weasley looked at Harry nervously and asked.
“It’s clarified, all the accusations are false.” Harry looked at the nervous Mr. Weasley and said with a smile.
“Honestly, I heard that when they formally tried you...” Arthur was interrupted by Harry in the middle of his words.
"Don't worry, I already knew it. Sirius told me last night and arranged everything." Harry comforted.
Last night, Sirius told him that even if he lost the trial, he could hide in the Order of the Phoenix headquarters and slowly settle the matter with Fudge after he stepped down, not to mention that there was no way he would lose.
“You know.” Mr. Weasley was very surprised.
"Yes, I know." Harry asked calmly, "Shall we go back now?"
“I’ll send you back directly.” Mr. Weasley looked at Harry and said seriously, “You can tell everyone the good news.”
“That’s great, I feel uncomfortable being here.”
Harry made no secret of his dislike of the Ministry of Magic, and he could feel the effects of the Felixir seeming to be wearing off.
As the two of them were walking towards the elevator, Harry suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.
Lucius Malfoy appeared out of nowhere, stared at Harry, and said coldly, "Okay, Patronus Potter, you are so lucky to have escaped punishment again."
“Say hello to Voldemort for me.”
Harry did not answer Lucius Malfoy's words, but narrowed his eyes and showed a "good" smile, "I heard that he was beaten and fled in Spain."
"Please help me tell Voldemort to remember to wear underwear before you duel with me next time."
"You..." Lucius Malfoy was stunned by Harry Potter's "vicious speech".
Are you crazy for letting Voldemort wear underwear?
“Last time he crawled out of the cauldron, hurriedly put on a cloak and started a duel with me.” Looking at Lucius Malfoy in a daze, Harry added.
Not only Malfoy, but also Mr. Weasley next to Harry was shocked.
"let's go."
“Harry…” Mr. Weasley looked uneasy.
"It doesn't matter. Even if I treat Voldemort politely, I can't make him change his mind about killing me, so there is no need to be polite to him. We are already mortal enemies anyway. No matter how you say it, it is not an exaggeration, not to mention it is true." Harry's tone was extremely calm, and he didn't take these things to heart at all.
After noticing Mr. Weasley's uneasiness, he changed the subject and said, "I feel like Malfoy has other reasons for coming here."
"Probably there is a financial deal with Fudge." Mr. Weasley sneered. "Malfoy has always been very generous and got a lot of benefits. That guy has a lot of energy and great powers."
"No, my intuition tells me, it's something else. That guy probably has some conspiracy." Harry paused and suddenly said, "You'd better tell Dumbledore about this."
“Conspiracy?”
“I don’t know.” Harry shook his head.
Harry stopped talking until he left the Ministry of Magic.
…
“I knew it a long time ago!”
In the corridor of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Ron put his arms around Harry's neck and waved his fist excitedly, "You will be fine."
"They certainly have no reason to convict you, not at all," Hermione shouted sharply, her whole body shaking as she spoke.
"Things weren't going well. I almost missed the trial." Harry asked again, "Where's Sirius? He really helped me a lot."
"Sirius and Lupine went out on business." Ginny came down from the stairs and asked, "Harry, did the trial go well?"
“It’s okay anyway.” Harry said without thinking.
“That’s great,” Ginny said, clutching her chest.
“Tell us about the trial,” Fred and George appeared out of nowhere without warning, with smiles on their faces. “I dare say those stories are interesting.”
"A lot happened." Harry walked into the kitchen, poured himself a glass of butterbeer, and began to tell the story of what happened during the trial.
"They actually put you on trial?" Hermione was shocked.
“I think so,” Harry said softly.
“That thing must have come in handy.” George said suddenly.
"That thing? What is it?" Ron and Hermione turned to look at the twin brothers, and they realized that these two guys were hiding a lot of things.
“That golden pill?” Harry asked doubtfully.
“That’s the elixir,” George reminded. “The elixir Sirius gave you was taken from us.”
"What is Felixir? Why do I feel like I have heard it before?" Ron frowned and thought about where he heard this name. Ginny next to him obviously also wanted to know what Felixir was.
“A potion that brings good luck,” Hermione explained.
"Yes, that's it. Elixir can bring good luck and make everything go smoothly." Fred nodded in agreement.
“A potion that brings good luck!”
Ron looked shocked, obviously eager for his luck to be better.
George next to him reminded, "You cannot take too much Fuling Lingqi within a year, otherwise you will be poisoned by Fuling Lingqi. Sometimes only a short period of luck is enough, and the dosage does not need to be too much."
"That feeling is really great, I feel like I can do anything." Harry nodded and admitted, "Do you still have some over there? I want to buy some."
"No, Felixir is priceless and very difficult to brew." Fred shook his head and reminded, "You have to go to Albert. Maybe he has a special way to get Felixir."
Harry felt a little disappointed and felt that he needed more Felixir.
At the urging of his twin brothers, Harry began to tell everyone what happened during his trial at the Ministry of Magic.
When Harry talked about Fudge changing the time and almost allowing him to miss the trial, Hermione's voice couldn't help but rise a few points, obviously it was hard to believe that such a thing could happen.
"I couldn't believe that Fudge would do that." Harry told everyone. "To be honest, I really didn't expect that he would become like that. It felt like he was a different person. I still remember when I ran away from home in the third grade. , Fudge, whom I met at the Leaky Cauldron, was still a very gentle person, and he even spared me the punishment and comforted me, but..."
“Why would Fudge do this?”
"Is Fudge also controlled by the Imperius Curse?" Ron couldn't help but ask.
"Probably not." Harry shook his head.
It was not that he had ever suspected that Fudge was controlled by the Imperius Curse, so he specifically targeted him, but this suspicion was quickly refuted.
"Why is it impossible? Crouch isn't also controlled by the Imperius Curse?" Ron cited a ready-made case.
"Dumbledore has been targeted by Fudge. If Fudge is really controlled by the Imperius Curse, something will definitely be noticed." Harry reminded.
“However, no one noticed that something was wrong with Crouch.” Ron still suspected that Fudge had been cast by the Imperius Curse.
"Voldemort will not do such a stupid thing, which will cause a backlash from the entire Ministry of Magic, unless he can completely control the British wizarding world, but Dumbledore obviously cannot let the other party succeed."
"Don't be stupid, as long as Dumbledore is around, the mysterious man will not try to control the Minister of Magic." George interrupted Ron's unrealistic speculation.
"Fudge did that just because he wanted Harry to be expelled." Fred and George reached out and patted Harry on the shoulders and said, "Fudge was very gentle to you before because you were valuable to him. At that time, you Like Garen. And now that you are on the opposite side of Fudge, he will naturally find a way to kill you."
“Is it too exaggerated?” Ginny was also surprised by the malice shown by Fred and George towards Fudge.
"No, it's not an exaggeration at all." Harry agreed with the Weasley brothers. "Now Fudge is like a mad dog. He wants me to be expelled."
“But you’re not expelled,” Hermione reminded.
"That's because I took the Lucky Pill." Harry said about what happened last night, when Sirius gave him the parchment and the Lucky Pill.
The contents of the parchment taught Harry how to deal with the trial, and the tranquilizers and felixir helped him cope with the trial calmly.
"Believe me, if you were in that situation, you would be so panicked that you wouldn't even be able to speak properly." Harry said firmly.
"I dare say Sirius must have asked Albert for help." Fred and George looked at each other, patted Harry on the shoulder and reminded: "Remember to take the time to thank him."
"Oh, by the way, I met him there." Harry suddenly said: "Anderson was also in the trial room at the time, mixed in with a group of old people."
"It's normal. Albert is the substitute of the Wizengamot. This happened a long time ago. Later, one of his titles was taken away by Fudge, and even the substitute position of the Wizengamot was almost taken away. ." Fred and George looked at each other, then looked at Hermione and said, "The Ministry of Magic is a **** now. You have to get used to eating **** when you go in there. Only a fool like Percy would fight for it." Drill inside."
“Mom doesn’t know much about the Ministry of Magic at all. She always thought that we could live a good life by entering the Ministry of Magic.”
The two people's voices paused, and they seemed to feel something. They turned back stiffly and saw Mrs. Weasley standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at them.
“We’re telling the truth.” Fred and George said in unison.
"Fudge really wants me to be expelled and lose my qualifications to become a wizard." Harry noticed Mrs. Weasley's expression and quickly changed the subject: "You were not there at the time, and you can't believe that he was incompetent and furious, desperately trying to give me The scene of conviction was really funny..."
Harry continued to talk about how he solved the problem of the levitation curse in the second grade and the expansion curse in the third grade, and preemptively solved the crisis of being expelled.
"Oh, by the way, there are also photos. Someone sent Mrs. Figg some photos of me being attacked." Harry suddenly said about the photos, "Although I haven't seen those photos, I think they should be real. , because the judge also believed it to be true. This thing is weird. When I was attacked by dementors, someone was actually hiding at the scene to take pictures, but I didn't notice it myself? "
"Harry, you really said that." Hermione didn't pay attention to the photo. She was stunned by Harry's provocation of Fudge in the courtroom.
"There is no possibility for us to ease up." Harry shook his head and said, "Cornelly Fudge wants to kill me. I dare say that the dementor thing must be related to him. Either he did it, or he caused it, Fudge did try to cover it up in the end."
This is actually the reason why Harry finally chose to fight Fudge, because the Minister of Magic did have malicious intentions towards him.
"But...you shouldn't..." Hermione felt that Harry shouldn't do that.
"Anderson is not saying that Fudge will step down next year." Harry said expressionlessly: "Maybe when he steps down, it will be when he is imprisoned in Azkaban. Well, Sirius seems to have collected a lot of information in this regard. Information, I can be interviewed in person at that time.”
“Hermione, I really don’t know why you, as Albert’s friend, can be so naive.” Fred and George both looked at Hermione with strange eyes.
"Innocent?"
"If Harry is late and fails to attend the trial and is expelled, do you know what will happen to him?" Fred glanced at Hermione and said to himself: "Harry's wand will be broken and he will completely lose his ability to become a wizard. Qualifications. Moreover, this matter is not over yet. Fudge will definitely take this opportunity to smear Harry everywhere, just like he smeared Dumbledore. Harry's reputation will soon be as smelly as the stinking ditch on the roadside. It's unheard of. Fudge won't let him go just yet. That guy will probably create an opportunity and find a way to get Harry to Azkaban and completely ruin his life, but you will still be in Hogwart by then. Go to class and verbally lament and feel sorry for Harry's experience because you can't do anything."
"I..." Hermione was speechless as Fred described the future.
"Now do you understand how ridiculous you are?" George shook his head and said, "Just like that idiot Percy betrayed everyone and went to Fudge, we actually know why he did it. Dad's reputation in the Ministry of Magic is not very good, no Percy, who has a backer and is burdened by his reputation, if he doesn't take refuge with some big shot, he will have to wallow at the bottom for the rest of his life."
"Percy deserves Fudge's attention. I saw him in the courtroom." Harry said with an odd expression. "I think he got his wish."
"The reality is so cruel." Fred and George waved their hands towards Hermione. "Next, Fudge will send people to teach at Hogwarts, and try to drive away Dumbledore and occupy the position of principal."
As he said that, the two of them turned to look at Harry and reminded, "Harry, there must be a lot of trouble waiting for you."
"Are you sure?" Ron asked, looking at Hermione who was stunned, and then turned to look at the twins.
"We'll see." The twins smiled maliciously, "Hogwarts will definitely be extra interesting this semester."
