Chapter 2 Trial (1)

The Wizengamot.

Draco Malfoy sat quietly on the chair in the middle of the trial court, his iconic platinum-blonde long hair was still combed in an orderly manner, his eyelids were lowered, his face was calm, and he did not see the tension and depression of being judged at all.

Harry, who was sitting in the jury box, looked up and quietly stared at the little bastard who always looked at people with his chin raised, sitting in the dock in a desolate figure.His calmness at the moment was in great contrast to the fanaticism and hatred displayed by the other jury members, but almost no one noticed him. Everyone was whispering and discussing how to throw all those evil Death Eaters into Azkaban .Except——Hermione, the little brown-haired witch sitting in the clerk's seat, saw him look over, and immediately mouthed to him—"Don't be impulsive."Harry could only smile wryly.

At this time, Draco's memories drifted to last night.

"Xiaolong, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. The Dark Lord has fallen, and the control of the Ministry of Magic is not as good as before. In order to improve the credibility, the Malfoy family who openly support the Dark Lord must be their first batch of targets." Thinking of the present The Auror team guarding the entrance of Malfoy Manor all the time, Lucius pulled a touch of sarcasm from the corner of his mouth.

"Draco, push everything to me in the trial tomorrow. Remember, you don't know anything." The nobleman stared at his silent son sternly.

Draco looked up, and his father looked ten years older.His father has been staying in the manor since Voldemort's death, and his body, which was tortured by Voldemort many times, is going from bad to worse. Now, is he going to risk his life?Surely those snobs would have cast father in Azkaban and given him a Dementor's Kiss.Suppressing the throbbing pain in his heart, Draco choked up and said, "Father, I can't do it."

"Malfoy's first rule."

"Everything is for the continuation of the platinum glory. Father, I understand, but..." He struggled to speak out, pushing his father to death with his own hands, he couldn't do it.

"Little Dragon," Lucius' voice became severe, "You have never killed anyone, but I am different. I have killed Muggles and seriously injured members of the Order of the Phoenix. They will not let me go, even if I am Reluctantly, it is difficult to change the mistakes I made."

"Remember my words, otherwise, the entire ancestors of the Malfoy family will not forgive you." After a pause, Lucius slowed down, "Xiaolong, I am not ordering you, but begging you as a father , protect yourself." Gently branding a kiss on his son's forehead, he waved his hand wearily, "Go and rest, Xiaolong."

The emotional expression of the always serious father at this moment made Draco feel even more uncomfortable, "If..." A pair of clear green eyes flashed in front of him, suppressing the strangeness in his heart, "I see, father."

Draco's thoughts snapped back together.

He quietly looked at the ominous trial court at this time.

The walls were of black stone, and the torches cast a dim light.There were empty benches on either side of him, but there were many shadows on the row of tallest benches above him.

He looked up at the people sitting on the bench above him.

[From what he could see, there were about fifty people sitting there, all of them wearing plum-colored robes with a beautifully crafted silver "W" embroidered on the left side of the chest. 】

In the middle of the front row sat Rufus Scrimgeour, Minister for Magic.He looked like an old lion, with wisps of gray in his tawny hair and bushy eyebrows, piercing eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses, and he was a sharp, tough guy.The black-haired and blue-eyed savior was sitting on Scrimgeour's left, his expression could not be seen clearly exuding a lonely aura, as if strangers should not get close to him.

"Very well," Scrimgeour stood up from his seat, "it's all here, let's get started. Are you ready?" he asked everyone present.

"Yes, sir."

"The legal hearing on September 9st," Scrimgeour's voice was smug, "will address the crimes committed by former Death Eaters Lucius and Mr. Draco Malfoy during the Dark Lord's rampage. trial for all kinds of crimes.”

"Interrogators: Rufus Scrimgeour, Minister for Magic; Emira Susan Bowness, Head of the Magic Law Enforcement Division; Dolorsjan Umbridge, Senior Under-Secretary to the Ministry of Magic. Court Recorder: Hermione Granger-"

"Defense counsel--"

There was a buzz in the jury box.

"Who would defend a Death Eater?"

"joke."

"Minister, the evidence is solid, it is better to directly pronounce the sentence."

……

Draco clenched his fingers, closed his eyes, opened them again, and there was nothing but peace. He said hoarsely, "I don't have a defense lawyer."

"No, he has." An equally hoarse voice sounded, causing a commotion.

The author has something to say:

This article assumes that Scrimgeour did not die in the war and is still serving as Minister of Magic at this time.
