The trial was over, and Harry had successfully overcome his current difficulties.
However, his mood did not improve after venting just now. Harry's intuition told him that Cornelius Fudge would continue to cause trouble for him before he lost his position as Minister of Magic.
As for swallowing his anger and pretending that he didn't know that Fudge sent Dementors to attack him? When he forced him to come to the Ministry of Magic for trial, he also used despicable means to frame him
Even if Harry was really willing to swallow all his grievances, Fudge had no intention of letting him go.
Keep giving in will only make things worse and make others think you are weak and can be bullied.
If you fight back, even if you lose, it won't be too tragic, because the other party will also be hurt and afraid. Even Voldemort is afraid of death, let alone others.
"How about it?"
Mr. Weasley looked at Harry nervously and asked.
"It's cleared. All charges are not true." Harry said with a smile, looking at the nervous Mr. Weasley.
"To be honest, I heard that when they officially opened your trial..." Arthur was interrupted by Harry before he could finish his words.
"Don't worry, I knew it a long time ago. Sirius told me last night and arranged everything." Harry comforted.
Last night, Sirius told him that even if he lost the trial, he could hide in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix and slowly settle the matter with Fudge after he stepped down. Besides, there was no way he could lose.
"You know." Mr. Weasley was very surprised.
"Yes, I know." Harry asked calmly, "Shall we go back now?"
"I'll take you back directly." Mr. Weasley looked at Harry and said seriously, "You can tell everyone this good news."
"That's great, I'm getting really uncomfortable being here."
Harry made no secret of his dislike for the Ministry, and he could feel the effects of the Felicis Felicis seeming to be wearing off.
As the two walked towards the elevator, Harry suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.
Lucius Malfoy appeared out of nowhere, stared at Harry, and said coldly, "Well, Patronus Potter, you are really lucky to get away with it again."
"Give Voldemort my regards."
Harry did not respond to Lucius Malfoy's words, but narrowed his eyes and showed a "nuclear-kind" smile, "I heard that he was beaten and fled in Spain."
"Please tell Voldemort to wear underwear before dueling with me next time."
"You..." Lucius Malfoy was stunned by Harry Potter's "vicious remarks".
Are you crazy for making Voldemort wear underwear
"He crawled out of the cauldron last time, hurriedly put on a cloak and duelled with me." Looking at the dazed Lucius Malfoy, Harry added.
Not only Malfoy, but even Mr. Weasley next to Harry was stunned.
"let's go."
"Harry..." Mr. Weasley looked uneasy.
"It doesn't matter. Even if I treat Voldemort politely, he won't change his mind about killing me. So there's no need to be polite to him. We're mortal enemies anyway, so nothing I say is excessive. What's more, it's the fact." Harry's tone was extremely calm, and he didn't take these things to heart at all.
After noticing Mr. Weasley's uneasiness, he changed the subject, "I have a feeling Malfoy is here for something else."
"Maybe he has a financial transaction with Fudge." Mr. Weasley sneered, "Malfoy has always been very generous and has gained a lot of benefits. That guy has a lot of power and great abilities."
"No, my intuition tells me that it's something else. That guy might have some conspiracy." Harry paused and suddenly said, "You'd better tell Dumbledore about this."
"conspiracy?"
"I don't know." Harry shook his head.
Harry remained silent after that until they left the Ministry.
…
"I knew it!"
In the corridor of number 12, Grimmauld Place, Ron put his arms around Harry's neck and waved his fist excitedly, "You'll be fine."
"They have absolutely no reason to convict you, none at all," cried Hermione sharply, and she was shaking all over as she spoke.
"It didn't go well. I almost missed the trial." Harry asked again, "Where's Sirius? He really helped me a lot."
"Sirius and Lupin are out for something." Ginny came down the stairs and asked, "Harry, did the trial go well?"
"It's okay anyway." Harry said without thinking.
"That's great," Ginny said, clutching her chest.
"Tell us about the trial," Fred and George appeared out of nowhere without warning, with smiles on their faces. "I'm sure the stories will be interesting."
"A lot has happened." Harry walked into the kitchen, poured himself a glass of butterbeer, and began to recount what had happened during the trial.
"They actually held a formal trial for you?" Hermione was shocked.
"I think so," Harry said quietly.
"I guess that thing came in handy," George said suddenly.
"That thing? What is that?" Ron and Hermione turned to look at the twin brothers. They found that these two guys were hiding a lot of things.
"The golden pill?" Harry asked doubtfully.
"That's Felicis Felix," George reminded. "Sirius took the Felicis Felix that he gave you from us."
"A Felicis?" Hermione suspected she had misheard.
"What's Felix Felicis? Why do I feel like I've heard of it before?" Ron frowned, wondering where he had heard the name. Ginny next to him obviously also wanted to know what Felix Felicis was.
"A good luck potion," Hermione explained.
"Yes, that's right. The Felicis can bring good luck and make things go smoothly for people." Fred nodded in agreement.
"A magic potion that brings good luck!"
Ron looked shocked, and clearly desperate for his luck to improve.
George next to him reminded, "You can't take too much of the Lucky Spirit within a year, otherwise you will get Lucky Spirit poisoning. Sometimes you just need a short period of luck, so you don't need to take too much."
"That feeling is really great. I feel like I can do anything." Harry nodded in agreement. "Do you still have it? I want to buy some."
"No, there is no market for Felix Felix, and it is very difficult to make." Fred shook his head and reminded, "You have to go find Albert. Maybe he has a special way to get Felix Felix."
Harry felt a little lost and felt that he needed more Felicis.
At the urging of his twin brothers, Harry began to tell everyone what happened during his trial at the Ministry of Magic.
When Harry mentioned that Fudge had switched dates and almost caused him to miss the trial, Hermione's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches, and it was obvious that she found it hard to believe that such a thing could happen.
"I couldn't believe Fudge would do that at first." Harry said to everyone, "To be honest, I didn't expect him to become like that. He seemed like a completely different person. I still remember when I ran away from home in my third year, Fudge was a very gentle man when I met him in the Leaky Cauldron. He even forgave me for my punishment and comforted me, but in the end..."
"But why would Fudge do this?"
"Could it be that Fudge is also under the Imperius Curse?" Ron couldn't help asking.
"Probably not." Harry shook his head.
He did suspect that Fudge was under the control of the Imperius Curse, which was why he targeted him, but this speculation was quickly denied.
"Why not? Wasn't Crouch also under the Imperius Curse?" Ron cited a ready-made case.
"Dumbledore has always been targeted by Fudge. If Fudge is really under the Imperius Curse, he will definitely notice that something is wrong," Harry reminded.
"But, didn't anyone notice that something was wrong with Crouch?" Ron still suspected that Fudge had been cast under the Imperius Curse.
"Voldemort would not do such a stupid thing. It would cause a backlash from the entire Ministry of Magic, unless he could completely control the British wizarding world. But Dumbledore obviously would not let him succeed."
"Don't be silly, as long as Dumbledore is here, the You-Know-Who won't try to control the Minister of Magic." George interrupted Ron's unrealistic speculation.
"Fudge did that just to get Harry expelled." Fred and George patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Fudge was gentle to you before because you were valuable to him. At that time, you were like Galleon. But now that you are standing against Fudge, he will naturally find a way to kill you."
"Isn't that too exaggerated?" Ginny was also surprised by the hostility Fred and George showed towards Fudge.
"No, that's not an exaggeration at all." Harry agreed with the Weasley brothers. "Fudge is like a mad dog right now. He wants me to be expelled."
"But you weren't expelled," Hermione reminded.
"That's because I took the Felicis Potion." Harry talked about what happened last night, when Sirius gave him the parchment and the lucky pill.
The contents of the parchment taught Harry how to deal with the trial, and the tranquilizers and Felicis helped him deal with the trial calmly.
"Believe me, if you were faced with that situation, you would be so panicked that you wouldn't even be able to speak clearly," Harry said firmly.
"I'm sure Sirius asked Albert for help." Fred and George looked at each other, patted Harry on the shoulder and reminded him, "Remember to take the time to thank him."
"Oh, yes, I met him over there," Harry said suddenly. "Anderson was in the courtroom with the old men."
"That's normal. Albert is the substitute for the Wizengamot. It happened a long time ago. Later, one of his titles was taken away by Fudge, and even his substitute position for the Wizengamot was almost taken away." Fred and George looked at each other, then looked at Hermione and said, "The Ministry of Magic now is a pile of shit. If you go in, you have to get used to eating shit. Only idiots like Percy would try their best to get in."
"Mother doesn't know anything about the Ministry of Magic. She always thinks we can live well in the Ministry."
The two paused, as if they sensed something, and turned their heads stiffly to see Mrs. Weasley standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at them.
"We are telling the truth," Fred and George said in unison.
"Fudge really wanted me to be expelled and lose my qualification to be a wizard." Harry noticed Mrs. Weasley's expression and quickly changed the subject: "You were not there at the time, so you can't believe his incompetent rage and desperate attempt to convict me. It was really funny..."
Harry continued to talk about how he solved the levitation spell in his second year and the expansion spell in his third year, taking the lead in avoiding the crisis of being expelled.
"Oh, yes, there are photos. Someone sent Mrs. Figg some photos of me being attacked." Harry suddenly talked about the photos. "Although I haven't seen those photos, I think they must be true because the judge also thinks they are true. This matter is very strange. When I was attacked by the Dementors, someone was hiding at the scene and taking pictures, but I didn't notice it?"
"Harry, you really said that." Hermione didn't care about the photo. She was stunned by Harry's provocation of Fudge in the courtroom.
"There's no chance of detente," Harry shook his head. "Cornelly Fudge wanted to kill me, and I'm sure he had something to do with the Dementors. Either he did it, or he had someone do it, and Fudge did try to cover it up in the end."
This was actually the reason why Harry finally chose to confront Fudge, because the Minister of Magic did have ill will towards him.
"But... you shouldn't..." Hermione felt that Harry shouldn't do that.
"Didn't Anderson say that Fudge will step down next year?" Harry said expressionlessly, "Maybe when he steps down, he will be imprisoned in Azkaban. Well, Sirius seems to have collected a lot of information in this regard. I can personally accept the interview then."
"Hermione, I really don't know why you, as Albert's friend, can still be so naive." Fred and George looked at Hermione with strange eyes.
"Innocent?"
"If Harry is late and is expelled before the trial, do you know what will happen to him?" Fred glanced at Hermione and said to himself, "Harry's wand will be broken and he will completely lose the qualification to be a wizard. Moreover, this matter is not over yet. Fudge will definitely take this opportunity to discredit Harry everywhere, just like he discredited Dumbledore. Harry's reputation will soon be as stinky as a roadside ditch, and Fudge will not let him go. That guy will probably create an opportunity to find a way to send Harry to Azkaban and ruin his life. At that time, you will still be in class at Hogwarts, sighing and complaining about Harry's experience verbally, because you can't do anything."
"I..." Hermione was speechless by the future Fred described.
"Do you understand how ridiculous you are now?" George shook his head and said, "Just like that idiot Percy betrayed everyone and joined Fudge. We actually know very well why he did that. Dad's reputation in the Ministry of Magic is not very good. Percy has no backing and is implicated by his reputation. If he doesn't join some big shot, he will have to roll around at the bottom all his life."
"Percy deserves to be favored by Fudge. I saw him in the courtroom." Harry said with a strange expression, "I think he got what he wanted."
"Reality is so cruel." Fred and George spread their hands towards Hermione and said, "Next, Fudge will send people to teach at Hogwarts and try to drive Dumbledore out and occupy the position of headmaster."
As they spoke, they both turned their heads to look at Harry and reminded him, "Harry, there will definitely be a lot of trouble waiting for you."
"Are you sure?" Ron looked at the stunned Hermione, then turned to look at the twins and asked.
"Just wait and see." The twins smiled maliciously at the same time, "Hogwarts will definitely be extra interesting this semester."
