Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Eddie's request to speak was granted.

He stared at Algie as if remorseful and remorseful under all eyes.

"Whether you have been hit by the Imperius Curse, and whether you are controlled by doing those things, or whether you want to do it subjectively, you know better than anyone else."

Eddie's voice was cold, and he looked at Algie like a sharp knife, cutting **** flesh from him at any time.

"I don't know how you made this decision in the first place. Frick Burns, the youngest member of my team, has only been an Auror for less than half a year. He hates evil, treats people kindly, and looks up to you the most. A great-grandmother who was Minister for Magic, Wilmina Taft."

"Because I know that you are her descendant, I also highly respect you, thinking that you are of a prominent background and pure blood, and you are the real representative of pure-blooded wizards in the magic world."

"Then, he died. The reason for his death was that the senior he believed to be trustworthy betrayed him and everyone!"

He didn't use the Amplification Charm, but the sound was louder than Minkan and Crouch.

Sherlock could hear that Eddie was venting his emotions.

The person who really paid the most attention to the outcome of this trial was him.

Being falsely accused of being a traitor was the next best thing. What angered Eddie the most was that the four Aurors under his command, who were dedicated to the Ministry of Magic, were about to die so obscurely, while the real murderer could use it. The Imperius pretext to escape punishment.

Algie covered her face and cried.

"I'm sorry for him, I'm being controlled, I'm guilty...I won't deny my guilt..."

Eddie looked at him with contempt to the extreme.

"You are not qualified to say sorry for him. If you want to be worthy of them, the only way you can make up for it is to send yourself to the mouth of the Dementor!"

"I applied for Veritaserum on him, Mr. Minister," Eddie said coldly.

However, before Minkan could speak, the red-robed wizard shook his head and said.

"Barbaric, Veritaserum should be abolished! This potion is as evil as the Unforgivable Curse, and it defies the human rights of wizards!"

Many red-robed wizards in the stands agreed with his words, shaking their heads and rejecting the Veritaserum proposal.

What they are doing, of course, is not the human rights of the **** they say.

If it is really upholding human rights, Azkaban should be the first to be shut down, but every year there are still a lot of high-level Ministry of Magic proposals to increase the number of dementors and increase the management of criminal wizards.

The reason for resisting the use of Veritaserum is just for fear that one day, that bottle of potion will be poured into their mouths.

It's not that how many people sitting here are undercover Death Eaters, but as long as they are famous in the wizarding world, wealthy wizarding families, or politicians in high positions, few **** are clean. .

Veritaserum can be used, but not abused.

This is the consensus of almost all politicians in the Ministry of Magic.

And now Algie's situation has not touched the bottom line of these wizards wanting to use Veritaserum, unless all his charges are established, and important information needs to be obtained from his mouth. The wizards of Wizengamot It is possible to let go.

In the face of such established rules, even Minkan, who was extremely tough against the Death Eaters, was silent at this time.

He became the Minister of Magic by the rules of the Ministry of Magic, so he himself must abide by the rules.

Eddie's face showed a look of extreme disappointment.

At this point, he already knew the result of today's trial in advance.

There is no chance that Algi will die, not even the prospect of Azkaban being sentenced to life in prison.

The final result is exactly the same.

After all the interrogations were over, a vote was held within the Wizengamot.

Those who thought Algie was guilty were all, but those who thought he should be punished differed.

In the end, the result of the punishment adopted the one with the most consent, Azkaban's imprisonment for 10 years.

One is serious, not light, but definitely not worthy of the punishment for what Algie committed.

Not many people could endure the torture of Dementors for ten years in Azkaban, but Sherlock inadvertently saw the relaxation in Algie's eyes.

He must have other plans, even if it is the punishment of Azkaban's imprisonment, he does not want to accept it.

At the end of the trial, Minkan read out the punishment decision for Algi, and Eddie just sat in his seat, his face seemed calm, but no one knew what he was thinking.

At the end of the trial, when everyone left, Sherlock sighed and walked over to Eddie.

"Would you like me to accompany you to a bar for a drink? I know there's a nice bar on the street above the Ministry of Magic."

Eddie sat quietly in the chair, still motionless. Hearing Sherlock's words, he came back to his senses after a long time and shook his head gently.

"Forget it, I'm fine. Anyway, we didn't expect this result before, didn't we? Ten years in prison is a lot, at least better than the three years."

He breathed a sigh of relief, as if planning to stop thinking about it.

"Go back and take care of Amy for me. After the Ministry of Magic gets paid in two days, I'll treat you to a drink. There is still something to do at the command, so I'll go first."

Eddie got up, waved his back to Sherlock, and left towards the exit of the Inquisition.

Sherlock looked at his back, frowned, and looked thoughtful.

He stood there thinking for a moment, then walked out of the court and returned to the Department of Mysteries.

Before returning to his office immediately, Sherlock first found Mrs. Selwyn who had just returned.

"Are you not very satisfied with the result of the trial just now,"

Mrs. Selwyn hadn't waited for Sherlock to speak, as if she already knew his intentions.

"A traitor who has been convicted and caught on the spot. What he said and did was very natural and completely in line with his own betrayal, but just because of an excuse of the Imperius Curse, the punishment could be reduced."

She shook her head.

"Sounds like a bunch of idiots for the Wizengamore wizards on trial. But that's the default rule in the Ministry, Algie's great-grandmother and grandfather all served as Ministers of Magic, so he's very familiar with these rules, And know how to use them for your own convenience.”

"In the future, when you work at the Ministry of Magic, even if you are in a place like the Department of Mysteries where you rarely deal with others, you should try to understand these rules as much as possible."

Sherlock listened to Mrs. Selwyn's words, with an instructed expression on his face, and then pretended to ask casually.

"Now that Algi has been convicted, when will he be taken to Azkaban for custody?"

Mrs. Selwyn didn't hear the other meanings in Sherlock's words, she just thought he wanted to understand the process and asked casually.

"He could probably spend his last night relaxing tonight before being locked up in Azkaban. Azkaban is not a place for normal people to stay, so even if he was just sent to prison, sent to The detainee's reasonable demands are also being met before he leaves. But he will not be allowed to leave the confines of the Ministry of Magic."

Sherlock blinked.

"So he'll be kept in the Auror Command's holding cell until he's sent off?"

"Usually criminals will be locked in that place before they are transferred away. Tonight he may choose a song he likes, and then spend this time facing a table dinner slowly, and he will be arrested before dawn tomorrow morning. sent away."

Mrs. Selwyn was finally puzzled by this, and she looked up at Sherlock.

"So what do you know about this?"

Sherlock said with a smile.

"Like you said, I need to learn more about some of the hidden rules in the Ministry of Magic."

"There's not much to know about this, John, and hopefully you won't have to use these rules in your life. Also, have you made up your mind where you're going to work? I can't let you drag you on any longer, Sirius. Everyone else has their own work to do, and you can't be idle all the time."

Hearing her urging, Sherlock didn't mean to drag on.

"Just for the time domain, I'm more interested in this aspect."

"The time field is also possible. I will organize a copy of the previous research materials for you tomorrow, and I will explain to you how to do it."

She seemed to be busy with other things, and Sherlock left Mrs. Selwyn's office without further interruption.

He leaned his back against the wall of the black hall, stared at the dark ceiling and thought for a moment, finally shook his head and muttered to himself.

"Rules, I'm afraid some people don't want to follow them..."

Sherlock went back to his office, had lunch with Amy, and spent the afternoon studying the book of Dark Magic, until night fell and he watched Amy fall asleep before he made a sound. out of the Department of Mysteries.

Before coming out, Sherlock used the Disillusionment Charm on himself.

This invisibility spell is not as good as an invisibility cloak~www.NovelMTL.com~, but it can basically achieve the effect of complete invisibility under the cover of night.

He walked into the elevator alone and came to the second floor where the Division of Magical Law Enforcement was located.

In this corridor, he also encountered two Aurors on duty at night, who did not find the invisible Sherlock.

He didn't stop until he reached the office of the Auror Command.

It was now 12 midnight, and the lights in the office had already been turned off. Except for the Aurors who were on night duty, it was rare for Aurors to work overtime even if they were working overtime.

But Sherlock was still waiting here quietly. After about half an hour, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past him.

The Ministry of Magic is closed underground, and there is no possibility of wind blowing here.

Sherlock spoke softly in the direction where the wind was blowing unsurprisingly.

"What a coincidence, you also like to go out for a walk in the middle of the night?"
