Is forcing him to go to court such a hasty end to this?
dream!
He then revealed a look of utter despair, his face showing no regret, only deep remorse.
"Minister, there's no need to say anything more. I've already decided to confess to this crime."
You can do whatever you want to me, as long as you let me go... as long as you... no, I'll accept anything...
As if he had let something slip, a fleeting look of panic crossed his face.
This made the members of Wisengamo, who already had some suspicions, instantly feel that they understood something.
This guy is too amazing!
This child was already so kind, and yet he still threatened him.
Who else will they not let off the hook?
Many members of Wizengamo showed disdain when they thought about what Fudge had done in the past two days.
They understood Fudge's concerns about Dumbledore.
They would also be worried if there was someone like that above them.
However, in an attempt to damage Dumbledore's reputation, Fudge went so far as to threaten a child.
This is too cruel.
Fudge is practically pinning the blame for the Death Eaters on Darren.
They glanced furtively at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's expression was extremely serious; he seemed to have thought of this as well, and his blue eyes were filled with anger.
They had never seen Dumbledore so angry.
Fudge is in for a world of trouble!
They secretly felt sorry for Fudge.
Did this really anger Dumbledore?
Serves them right, doesn't it?
You dared to bully a child!
Fudge knew nothing about any of this because he had never done anything to threaten Darren.
Although he wanted to cause trouble for Dumbledore, he wouldn't make it so obvious.
So after Darren said those words, he didn't think twice.
He thought Darren was wrong.
It's normal for children to say the wrong thing in a place like this.
What's bothering him now is that Darren refuses to change his tune.
What does this make him do?
He should have handed this trial over to Umbridge!
Fudge wiped the sweat from his face again and suddenly said, "How about we use the truth serum instead?"
"No, Minister, have you forgotten what you promised?"
"That's right, we said back then we wouldn't use truth serum!"
"Verbal emetics have been preliminarily classified as a prohibited substance!"
"Minister, you can't do that..."
As soon as Fudge said that, the other six students immediately became anxious. They wanted to rush up to Fudge and remind him exactly how much money he had taken from their family.
How could he say such a thing?
"Quiet!"
Fudge cursed angrily.
Then he looked at one of the six students.
"Kant!"
This is the person who accused Darren of deliberately letting the Death Eaters go.
"Tell me, were there any untrue parts of your previous accusations against Darren?"
He glared at Conte.
Hopefully, he'll be sensible and say it's a lie or that he told a false story.
This would drop the charge against Darren, and Darren's response would no longer need to be released.
However, Conte completely ignored Fudge's angry glare.
He glanced at the other people around him with a somewhat Confucian and Legalist look.
Each of them brought a charge against Darren in order to make Darren less innocent.
They should try their best to minimize the blame for leading Darren to Black Lake.
In order to prevent one person's words from affecting everyone.
They memorized all the procedures many times.
Even a change in a single sentence will have an impact.
“No, Minister Fudge, I’m not lying… Besides, Darren Porter hasn’t denied it either, so why don’t you believe him?”
Fudge almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He wanted to believe Darren, but even a fool would find something wrong with Darren's testimony.
If these people really want Darren to take the blame, why don't they go and check their statements with that brat Darren Porter first?
At the very least, you should tell him what spell you can use to move all those Death Eaters away.
At least this way it looks more convincing.
Now look what's happened! That little brat Potter doesn't even know what spell he used, and he's making up all sorts of nonsense about Apparition.
No one would believe that he deliberately let the Death Eaters go.
Fudge cursed under his breath.
Then it suddenly occurred to him that he was the one who wouldn't allow anyone to get close to Darren.
As soon as Darren regained consciousness, he captured Darren the next day.
He was so angry that he had a headache.
His body trembled as he looked at the other accusations on the note.
The charges also included Darren committing intentional homicide.
Darren deliberately refused to help.
Darren also cast a spell on them afterwards.
and many more.
Fudge had previously viewed these accusations as jokes.
Because even a fool wouldn't admit to such a crime.
But Darren will.
This guy is so kind he's almost foolish; he might actually do something like that.
“So Darren Porter is clearly out of sorts; the Minister isn’t the type to act unilaterally.”
Therefore, this trial is temporarily adjourned. We will resume the trial tomorrow, and we hope that everyone will be present!
Fudge suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on Dumbledore with a hint of pleading.
Manage your students well, manage the crazy people in your school.
Dumbledore laughed.
He shook hands with Fudge with a big smile.
He clearly agreed with Fudge's idea.
I'm going to go back and give Darren some serious psychological counseling.
If that doesn't work, order Darren to tell the truth; Darren should listen.
That's what he was thinking, and then he prepared to turn around and leave with Darren.
Who knew that a group of reporters and many wizard parents would suddenly appear outside the courtroom after the trial had just ended.
These people completely surrounded the Ministry of Magic.
"Headmaster Dumbledore...I've heard that Darren Potter is a second-year student at Hogwarts."
You were attacked a few days ago and tortured for more than two hours. How do you feel about that?
