"Oh! God! He admitted he was a Death Eater."
Regulus Black's first words caused a commotion.
"You admit that you are a Death Eater?"
The chief judge was a witch, and his expression was a little nervous at this time.
"Do you need me to repeat what I just said? Madam!"
Regulus Black's words were simply asking, are you an idiot? Didn't I make it clear enough
"I think it's time to sentence him and send him to Azkaban for life."
Fudge couldn't wait to express his opinions at this time. Maybe this will become a political achievement during his tenure.
But in fact, if Fudge hadn't intervened, the judge present might have been so hot-headed that he made the verdict directly.
However, as a group of qualified judges, knowing every detail is the most basic professional quality, so Fudge's voice was ignored by them.
The judge who had reacted at this time thought of Regulus Black's words just now.
"Please explain clearly what you just said, what is 'before death'? What is 'resurrection'?"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and all the wizards were ready to carefully identify whether the Death Eater in the dock was lying.
Minister Fudge was winking at the judge who was close to him, but the other party shook his head slightly in denial.
Regulus Black maintained his usual cold attitude, looking at the clown-like Minister of Magic, ready to teach them a lesson.
"Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you mercifully."
Regulus Black slightly adjusted his black aristocratic suit and straightened the lace on the sleeves and placket.
"More than ten years ago, when Voldemort ruled the entire magical world, many members of pure-blood families were either forced or voluntarily joined the ranks of Death Eaters. I believe that some of you in that trial You should know that this includes many Death Eaters who joined for various reasons. They are not really evil, but just out of helplessness to protect their families."
"And I just graduated from school that year, and I joined the Death Eaters out of family considerations. Unlike my brother, I can betray my family, give up my responsibilities, betray my own honor, and even ignore my brother. The safety of my family is on the front line against Voldemort."
"He was very responsible for my death. He always appeared in Voldemort's sight, so the entire Black family was implicated by him. I'm afraid you don't know how many compromises I made to Voldemort for this stupid brother. , just to save his life."
Regulus Black's voice echoed in the Wizengamot court. The reason why he did not defend himself first, but blindly accused his brother Sirius Black, was for a purpose. The so-called explanation is a cover-up. ', some things cannot be explained clearly by explanation. Others will naturally doubt the answer you give, but they will firmly believe the answer that others are willing to believe.
"You are wrong. Sirius Black is a Death Eater. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing 12 Muggles in a street."
"He also killed Peter Pettigrew, and he betrayed his friends, the Potter family."
Two different voices sounded. It was obvious that these two judges had participated in the trial of Sirius Black.
"I'm sorry for what you said! I didn't know because I was dead before this. And as far as I know, at least before I died, Sirius Black was still a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and you The Peter Pettigrew mentioned was an official member of the Death Eaters. He was the one who told Voldemort the secret. My stupid brother gave him the position of secret keeper, so I died. I couldn't understand why Voldemort wanted to You don’t even know how to kill me, you die unprepared.”
These words immediately caused a commotion, and the members of the Wizengamot started talking privately. Everyone had expressions of doubt and shock.
After a while, one of the female judges finally remembered that she needed to know what happened next.
"I want to know how you were resurrected? Your brother Sirius Black needs to be discussed later."
"Voldemort has a cave that collects dark magic items. He dumped me there after my death. I have been an Inferi for more than ten years until I was resurrected yesterday. The specific reason is unknown. After that, I summoned the house elf to cut it. Lik, returned to Blake’s old house.”
"Inferi! Do you mind if we check your body?"
It was the female judge who said this. She should obviously be from Ravenclaw. She was the first to ask the question just now. After saying this, she left her seat and came to Regulus Black and raised her wand.
"Oh... my God! How is this possible! The body temperature is weak, there is no heartbeat, and the blood flow is almost stagnant. It seems that you have eaten some food, but your digestive system can work normally... "
"You guys, go and bring that house elf over."
Minister of Magic Fudge also showed his authority and waved his hand to ask the Auror to do something.
"My five senses are normal, and I have normal physiological reactions. My strength, endurance, and physical strength are almost unlimited. But if I exceed the normal range, I will hurt my body."
Regulus Black's words were a supplement, but the smile he gave the female judge was meaningful.
Seeing the evil smile on his handsome face, the young female judge felt that her heart was being attracted. She tried hard to stabilize her emotions and replied
Go to your seat and start exchanging opinions with the people around you.
"This court has accepted your statement, but since you have admitted that you are a Death Eater, you cannot escape trial."
The chief judge's attitude was to continue the trial of Regulus Black as a Death Eater. Although his previous words were accepted, he still could not escape the fate of trial.
"I can't agree with your point of view. What you have in front of you is an Inferi. As a human's predecessor, I have already died once. As an Inferi, I have just been resurrected. It's like a newborn. I don't have anything yet. If I did it, are you going to accuse me?"
Regulus Black looked around and found that many judges had different views on such a special situation.
"Do you think such a trial is fair to me as a newborn?"
After a long moment of silence, the chief judge finally spoke again.
"But no matter what, you are still Regulus Black, whether resurrected or not, so since you are a Death Eater, your trial is logical."
"No! You are wrong. Let's not talk about the reasons why I joined the Death Eaters in the first place. I believe you have heard many reasons from other Death Eaters more than ten years ago. And during my time as a Death Eater, I I have always been on the platform and have never done anything sinful. Even now, I am actively cooperating with your investigation because I have a clear conscience. I believe that today, more than ten years after the fall of Voldemort, everyone in the Wizengamot can Look at my situation rationally.”
The Minister of Magic was a little restless, and no one present seemed to take him seriously and were all ignoring him.
