Chapter 4 Post-war Trial (3)

With a sound of "Dang", the sentencing hammer fell.

Draco sat motionless in the chain-wrapped chair, gripping the armrests with both hands, trying to recover from a sense of shock and relief.The members of the Wizengamot stood up one after another, sorting out the documents while talking, and people came out of the courtroom one after another.

Harry turned his head and was about to leave when Draco tried to stop him, but felt it was wrong.On the contrary, it was Harry who noticed his abnormality. Harry stared at him with great interest until the platinum boy's complexion flushed, and he tentatively asked, "Together?"

The communication between the two was not secret, and the members of the Wizengamot looked at them hesitantly, as if they wanted to see something tricky between them.

Draco was keenly aware of those gazes. He opened his mouth, swallowed what he wanted to say, and said seriously, "Mr. Potter, thank you very much for defending me and my father just now."

Harry looked at his blushing face, "Then what?" He stared at the tips of Draco's red ears, leaned closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "A promise?"

"Ahem——" Draco almost bit off his tongue, "Then, I'm going back to the manor, goodbye." When did Potter become so vicious, damn it, he even blushed!

Looking at Draco who was running away, Harry lowered his head, his expression was covered by his loose long hair, no one could see his expression like a stolen kitten, and when he raised his head again, his expression was completely blurred. Indifferently, he glanced across some members of the jury as if with a knife in his eyes, and those people flinched, pursed their lips in satisfaction, and then turned and left.

However, the subsequent development of events exceeded Harry's expectations.

In the last trial, the exoneration of the Malfoy family seemed to make Scrimgeour even more irritable.But no one questioned Harry.Harry is the savior, and now his reputation in the wizarding world is in full swing. Harry and Malfoy are also hostile. He doesn't need to lie to exonerate the Death Eaters. Scrimgeour has nothing to say about it.But for others, Scrimgeour's methods became more and more drastic.He sent teams of Aurors to patrol the doors of those he suspected day and night, making frequent surprise checks.

Relatively speaking, where there is heavy pressure, there must be a rebound.Most of the Slytherin family are nobles. Although they were suppressed after Voldemort's downfall for the first time, their background has not been shaken. They control most of the wizarding world's economy, and now they are not small people who can be manipulated at will.And Scrimgeour not only targeted Death Eaters, but also eliminated dissidents on a large scale, which caused dissatisfaction among many nobles.No one would sit still, and although they were afraid of the Savior and the Order of the Phoenix, their petty actions in private became more and more frequent.The wizarding world is even more chaotic than it was before.

Harry flipped through the files in his hand, frowning.Originally, except for Draco's affairs, he didn't want to get too involved in the Ministry of Magic. After all, he was the only one involved in the Malfoy family's affairs, and he was not suitable to intervene in other matters, but now...

Finally, Harry made up his mind.

Buckle buckle.

"Come in."

Hermione, in professional attire, put a large stack of documents on Harry's desk.

"Dear Vice Minister, you are now..." Hermione, who originally wanted to tease her friend, stopped talking, glanced at Harry's furrowed brows and pale face, and said dissatisfiedly, "Harry, Your complexion is getting worse and worse, you have to combine work and rest, do you want to die from overwork?"

"It's nothing, Hermione." Harry saw Hermione's worried expression, and decided to tell her his plan. "I need your help with something."

After hearing Harry's thoughts, Hermione was silent for a while, "Harry, I have to admit that you are worthy of being the savior. But others are not as generous as you. You don't know how complicated the situation is now, those who lost their loved ones People here are like crazy, and some people in the Ministry of Magic are helping it, and you will go to the opposite side of everyone."

Harry rubbed his forehead, "Originally, I didn't intend to care about it. Some Slytherins are really guilty and must be tried. But Hermione—" Harry looked up, "Didn't you notice? The development of the situation is completely abnormal now. People seem to be trying to get rid of Slytherin, that's not right, I smell a hint of war starting."

"It's not that serious, is it?!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Look at how far they have pushed those Slytherin-borns! If I were forced into this situation, I would definitely die. I don't want the wizarding world to experience another war. This time the war wizard population has dropped sharply. We I can't stand such a toss anymore." He paused, unable to conceal the anger in his heart, "They are still like this, blinded by the momentary victory. I thought Scrimgeour would know how to judge the situation better than Fudge, no Thinking that he is so eager for quick success. Is it so important to fight for power? Is that how the ancient nobles are easy to get rid of? Is that how Slytherins are easy to deal with? Besides, not all Slytherins are bad people, and those nobles are not all loyal. Most of them were forced to follow Voldemort, and some of them never killed anyone."

"The trial process? If I didn't attend, what kind of sentence would they have given Draco?! I will never allow the Wizengamot to become a trial platform for personal grievances. The current chaotic situation is very suitable for taking down your enemies, isn't it?" Is it?" Harry smiled sarcastically, "Just give him the title of Death Eater."

"Forgive others and forgive others. Killing everyone like this, using the trial of nobles to divert the pain of losing their loved ones, is really not worth the loss. If this continues, a protracted war will soon come. I will never allow it This happens, never.”

Her friend always carried everything on his shoulders, and Hermione put a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "Harry, you're under no obligation... I mean..."

Harry interrupted her roughly, is this the time?

"Hermione, I need your help." Harry stared at his best friend with burning eyes.

Hermione hesitated for a moment, "Harry, I'm on your side. Although the Order of the Phoenix is ​​on your side, I'm afraid... and Ron, he may not understand, you know that, Frey De..."

"It doesn't matter," Harry said with difficulty, "I can...wait for him to change his mind. Believe me, my generosity doesn't include murderers."

Hermione pondered for a while, "Okay, I will find a way." Frowning, she continued, "If you want to help those Slytherins, you can go to Malfoy, after all, what you are going to do now, I will Can't help much. And Draco, even though he is only 17 years old, as the current head of the Malfoy family, although he is suppressed, his energy cannot be underestimated. If he had no means, those greedy vultures would have already Let Garen share the food with him. But look at the speed at which he is integrating the family business now, he is not just like what he showed in school..."

Harry smiled wryly, "Let me think again."

night.

"Hiss, my boy, give yourself to me, and I'll give you everything you want."

"I see your heart, it's mine."

"I have seen your dreams, Harry Potter, and I have seen your fears. Whatever you desire can happen, but what you fear can also happen..."

"Bad taste, terrible and mixed race...your favorite person is always against you...he will never like you..."

Voldemort's voice, the always indifferent Draco Malfoy in his dream and those trembling red pupils, Harry Potter woke up from the nightmare again, dripping with cold sweat.Even though Occlumency is used, why can I still dream?How can this happen? ! !
