The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 467 There is no one who can fight

No one knows how to confront the Ministry of Magic better than Ada.

The riots at the World Cup have brought disgrace upon the Ministry of Magic and made it impossible for British wizard representatives to hold their heads up at the International Confederation of Wizards.

The Triwizard Tournament, which was also not concluded successfully, made the Ministry of Magic a laughing stock.

At this time, if Ada were to go out and visit each country, even if other countries did not accept her application, the Ministry of Magic would lose face. It would be better to disband the Ministry of Magic right now.

Pushing the millstone with bare bottom is embarrassing.

This time, Ada hit the Ministry of Magic's sore spot, and the Ministry of Magic couldn't do anything to her.

Should she be detained directly for the sake of international reputation? What about the crime? Defamation and false accusation against Minister of Magic Fudge?
Don't forget, Dumbledore is still outside! Detaining Dumbledore's two disciples at once certainly solved the immediate problem, but what happens next?

Do you really think the headmaster of Hogwarts won’t get mad?
What's more, the Ministry of Magic is not a monolithic entity, nor is it Fudge's one-man show. The Minister is just sitting in the Minister's position and recruiting a bunch of profit-seeking people.

Once Fudge's position was unstable and something went wrong, these people would be the first to abandon him. How could they live and die with Fudge? They would only cruelly trample Fudge to death and make him unable to stand up forever.

Everyone present looked at Ada, she just stood there, not moving, not speaking, not smiling.

But everyone realized that the girl's threats were not just words. She could do what she said.

Everyone turned to Fudge and put pressure on the Minister. It was just a squib witness. Just meet him! How much time would it take?
But Fudge never gave in, nor did he want to give in.

Just a student of Dumbledore, yet he was embarrassed like this. The Minister was not convinced! He was the Minister of Magic, he was the leader of the wizarding world!

Just when the two sides were deadlocked and Ada's patience was about to run out, someone finally spoke up. If no one else spoke up, Ada would have thought of an armed prison break, since no one on the scene could fight anyway.

"Let the witness come in." Ms. Bones said, "There are many doubts in the Harry Potter case. Having witnesses appear in court will help us make a correct judgment on the case and avoid miscarriage of justice from happening again."

"Weasley, you go." Fudge said rudely, venting all his anger on Percy Weasley.

Watching Percy run down from the judge's seat and hurried out, Ada felt that Percy now looked like a dog.

Ida didn't understand why Percy would rather be a running dog who was beaten and scolded by others than stand on the side of his family and the truth. Is power really that tempting? Can it make people so desperate...

After a moment Percy returned, followed by Mrs Figg, who looked frightened.

But even though her voice was trembling, Mrs. Figg still testified in court without hesitation. Facing the contemptuous eyes of the crowd and Fudge's rude and rude questioning, she still told the truth and told everything she saw.

Although Mrs. Figg was a Squib who was looked down upon by everyone, Ada felt that she was better than many people present and that she was a respectable person.

With the help of Ms. Bones' so-called "questioning" but actually "guiding", Mrs. Figg completed what she was supposed to do. She used her testimony to prove that Harry Potter did not cast magic for no reason, but for his own safety and to resist the attack of the Dementors.

"I said that the Squib's testimony was unconvincing," Fudge said coldly. Mrs. Figg had just left the courtroom, and the door was not even closed. She could clearly hear the insults from the Minister of Magic.

"Not necessarily," Ms. Bones retorted in her booming voice. "Mrs. Figg was absolutely correct about the Dementors. I can't imagine why she would say that if they weren't there."

"Dementors will not run into Muggle residential areas, let alone attack a wizard without reason." Fudge said contemptuously, "All Dementors obey the Ministry of Magic."

Listening to Fudge's remarks and observing the expression on his face, Ada thought that the Minister was most likely completely unaware of the matter. It was pitiful, sad, and ridiculous.

"The witness has made a statement and has been questioned. It is enough to prove that Harry Potter cast magic when he was attacked by Dementors and his personal safety was threatened." Ada said loudly, "I really can't see which law the defendant has violated."

Fudge looked at Ada and said, "Dementors will not appear in Little Whinging! Harry Potter once cast a hovering spell for no reason and also used magic to inflate a Muggle. I have reason to believe..."

"Excuse me, Mr. Minister." Ada interrupted Fudge loudly, "Those two things have nothing to do with this case."

"That was the house-elf who cast the Hovering Charm, not me!" Harry shouted. "He's in Hogwarts now!"

"Look, you're making up stories again. Why would a house-elf appear in front of a Muggle?" Fudge shouted, "Why would they cast a hovering spell?"

Since we have to settle the matter, let's settle it properly. Ada will not tolerate Fudge's bad habit of digging up the past. Digging up the past, as if everyone is not good at it!
"In 1994, at the World Cup camp, the defendant was attacked by subordinates of the Ministry of Magic. The reason was that they suspected that the defendant had cast the Dark Mark." Ada laughed, full of sarcasm, "Harry Potter, who defeated Voldemort, cast the Dark Mark!"

Just the mention of Voldemort's name made everyone present shudder. This was the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry that led the wizarding world, and just the name made them tremble with fear.

"In 1993, Dementors under the orders of the Ministry of Magic broke into the Hogwarts grounds and attacked the defendant, causing him to fall from a height of dozens of feet. If Professor Dumbledore had not been present, the defendant might have been smashed into a puddle of mud. And the Ministry of Magic couldn't even give a decent reason."

"Do you want me to continue?" Ada sneered and continued, "I have reason to suspect that in 1995, which was the year of this case, someone deliberately assigned Dementors to attack the defendant. I won't tell you the reason... You all know it well."

Ada's words caused a commotion in the courtroom.

Although Ada had previously hinted that it was the Ministry of Magic that wanted to murder Harry Potter, and Ms. Bones had also secretly pointed the finger at Fudge, but those were just hints, and everyone could just pretend not to understand!
Now, Ada's words have made everything clear, and she has only pointed fingers at Fudge and said that he is the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes. How can you expect everyone to continue to play dumb and ignorant?
Crazy, this girl is a lunatic! Only that old lunatic Dumbledore could teach such a little lunatic!

Fudge clenched his fists, and the small wooden hammer was almost crushed by him. His face turned liver-colored, and the muscles on his face trembled with anger. The minister was very angry. He was angry at himself for bringing up the past, and this bringing up of the past almost involved him.

At this point in the trial, the other party was so confident that even if Fudge was stupid, he knew that what the other party said was the truth. The Dementors did attack Harry Potter without the knowledge of him, the Minister!

The Wizengamot and Ministry of Magic officials present were all motionless and silent, waiting for Fudge to make a statement: whether to insist that Harry Potter cast a spell outside the school, or to admit defeat and acquit Harry Potter.

If Dumbledore was standing here, the professor might still consider the overall situation and use reason and law to persuade Fudge. But Ada is different. She has her own way of doing things. She can make a fuss even if she is not right, not to mention that she is right in this matter.

Esmeralda Drizzt, she was a woman who dared to be more sharp-tongued than Snape, dared to debate with Grindelwald, and dared to ignore Dumbledore. Fudge, how many divisions did he have?
Looking at the silent crowd, Ada just wanted to ask: Who else!
At this moment, the witch sitting on Fudge's right, whose face was shrouded in shadow, moved slightly and let out a light cough like a girl.
