Chapter 457: Ivan: Isn't it just selling badly? Who is afraid of whom!
Hearing Sirius's remarks, Ivan glared at him quickly, but now is not the time to be stunned.
Sirius curled his lips and said nothing...
"You insulted my son so much!" Mrs. Peter reacted quite enthusiastically, waving the cane in her hand with excitement, trying to get it on Sirius's head.
But this cane was caught by one hand in the air, and Dumbledore stared at the old witch in front of him with a trace of anger on his face.
Mrs. Peter's rage was extinguished by a basin of cold water, shaking all over, trying to withdraw the cane from Dumbledore's hand, but she didn't have the courage.
"Quiet! Stop for me, this is the place where the trial court is not troublesome!" The presiding judge was very annoyed and patted the table.
Dumbledore let go of his hand, and the crutches dropped to the ground.
Mrs. Peter squatted slightly trembling and picked up her crutches. She crouched and looked at the presiding judge on the stage and said with a choked voice.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for my rudeness. As a mother, I and my child have been separated for more than ten years. Today, I have finally seen the last time...I...I can't talk to him again. Separated..."
In the end, Mrs. Peter even burst into tears on the spot, tearfully telling how lonely and helpless she was after the only child "dead" that year, and how a person struggled to survive in the magical world...
Coupled with Mrs. Peter's gray hair, old face and a mending gown, it makes the listener sad and the listener cry...
Ivan frowned. What Mrs. Peter said just now was nonsense that had nothing to do with the case, but the presiding judge didn't mean to interrupt. This was a very obvious bias.
Thinking of Dumbledore talking to him before, this time the presiding judge was elected by the Ministry of Magic, and Ivan had some enlightenment.
Obviously, for some people, the truth is far less important than political struggles. In order to add chaos to them, Fudge really did everything. The presiding judge's behavior just now was probably aimed at Dumbledore.
I noticed that the members of the surrounding committee were faintly touched and sympathetic under Mrs. Peter's howl of affection, and Ivan knew that he couldn't wait any longer!
The rules of court trials in the magical world are completely different from the country where Ivan lived in his previous life.
The votes of the committee members will greatly affect the final judgment. Generally speaking, the presiding judge will not violate the decisions of the committee members, not to mention that even the presiding judge is not on Sirius's side now.
Ivan was not sure how many of the committee members present were bought and how many remained neutral, but if Mrs. Peter continued to say that, the situation would definitely get worse.
Realizing this, Ivan decisively interrupted the old witch's cry and said.
"Mrs. Peter, you are wrong to say that! Your child Pettigrew is a Death Eater! He shamelessly revealed the Potter couple's hiding place to the mysterious man, betraying his willingness to surrender his life to him. My dear friend, almost destroyed the hope of the entire magic world!"
Ivan's impassioned tone made the committee members who had sympathized with the old witch recalled Peter's ugly deeds.
However, Ivan didn't mean to stop. He looked at everyone present and continued with a sharp voice.
"Harry Potter saved the entire magical world, saved all of us, so that we don’t have to live under the brutal rule of mysterious people! But such a hero should have a happy family, love his parents, and enjoy him. Glory!
But all this was destroyed by Peter, a despicable betrayer, a running dog of a mysterious man! You must not know what kind of life our hero has been living for more than ten years!
He was adopted by his Muggle relatives! That Muggle family hates wizards and hates everything incomprehensible!
Poor Harry was treated unfairly there because of his extraordinary behavior since he was a child! Forced to live in a storage room that is a few square meters in size, do a lot of housework, wear clothes that others don’t want, be bullied by peers, and often have to be hungry..."
What Ivan said was very bleak, and tried his best to restore Harry's life in the Muggle world. The success made most of the committee members angry at Harry's tragic experience.
"How dare those Muggles do this? It's a great honor to adopt Harry Potter! They dare to treat him like that!"
"Oh my God, I never knew Harry suffered so much grievances when he was a child, and thought that the Ministry of Magic would definitely arrange the best place for him!"
"What are the people at the Ministry of Magic doing? Why haven't you cared about Harry Potter for so many years?"
......
At the seats on both sides, the committee members were furious, and they continued to swear.
They have long forgotten the grievances of Mrs. Peter's life. In contrast, Muggles discriminate against wizards and heroes suffer injustice. These are more noticeable.
And there is no new generation of wizards who can sit here! Everyone has experienced the last wizarding war, experienced the horror of the mysterious man and the Death Eater army, and had some gratitude for Harry who ended the mysterious man.
Some infected witches looked at Peter with contempt, disdain, and irritation. Only one sane witch stood up and asked.
"Mr. Hals, can you guarantee that what you just said is true?"
"Yes, ma'am! Harry Potter is in the waiting hall now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and will testify in court afterwards. You can ask yourself when that time comes!" Ivan replied politely.
Ivan's words made some of the originally dubious committee members completely believe his statement, because no one would tell a lie that was quickly exposed.
Mrs. Peter witnessed the whole process that Ivan destroyed the atmosphere she had painstakingly created with just a few words and turned the situation around instantly. She immediately understood that she had encountered an opponent today!
For Dumbledore, who was also a defender, she was in awe but not afraid.
Because such a big person wants face, can't wipe away face and sell miserables, and will not play rascals like himself. More importantly, he is born in a strong position, which helps to construct himself as a weak and helpless, so as to win the committee members present. sympathy.
It’s just that the little wizard in front of me didn’t take this into consideration. Mrs. Peter knew that her usual strategy might be invalidated today...
Ivan was also looking at Mrs. Peter, who was still with tears in the corner of her eyes, and her face was full of playfulness.
Isn’t it just selling badly? Who is afraid of whom! What I have here is a story!
