"In light of this unexpected incident, the trial is temporarily adjourned."
""
Minister Scrinzer's hoarse voice echoed in the hall.
He forced a calm tone, trying to maintain his composure, still trying to stall: "Ethan Vincent will remain at the Ministry of Magic for now, awaiting the next..."
Just then.
A hoarse and stern voice suddenly rang out from the doorway: "Shut up! I won't allow you to make another unjust judgment on that brat!"
Everyone turned to look in astonishment.
An elderly woman, wearing an exaggerated vulture hat and dressed in simple yet elegant clothes, strode confidently through the doorway.
Those who recognized her identity showed a hint of fear, instinctively averting their gaze and avoiding eye contact.
"despair."
The boots slammed heavily in front of Minister Scrinzer.
Seeing the other person's aged appearance but still bright and piercing eyes, Minister Scrinker, who had been keeping a straight face, finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Mrs. Longbottom? What brings you here?" she exclaimed in surprise.
—Augusta Longbottom, an elder whose son and daughter-in-law were both war heroes.
He is very famous in the magical world.
With his indomitable and powerful personality, and strength comparable to that of an Auror, his name is known to all.
Everyone has to treat her with respect.
No one would be foolish enough to go against an old lady with such a full stack of buffs.
Madame Augustus, chin held high, coldly looked down at the minister, her gaze sweeping over Ethan beside her. Her eyes flickered slightly as she spoke, "I'm here to tell you that this trial of this innocent boy is nothing but a complete farce!"
"This only demonstrates your incompetence as minister! You're so muddle-headed, you can't even tell who the real enemy is!"
Minister Scringer:
'
'
I was immediately subjected to a barrage of insults.
He's really "out of his mind" right now.
Even the usually cold and hard-hearted person couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
What did I do?
This kid blew up Gringotts and Azkaban, and is also suspected of being connected to the wizarding world's newest dark lord, "Mr. Lamp".
What's wrong with me judging him?!
Why is it that everyone here acts like I'm the one who's guilty?!
Minister Scrinzer's lips twitched twice, and he looked gloomy and listless.
Seeing this, Madame Augustus snorted coldly, completely unmoved: "Still not coming to your senses? Then let me show you just what kind of miracle that child can accomplish!"
talking.
She looked back, and her sharp gaze softened when it met the front door.
He shouted, "Navie! Bring your parents in and show them what a real miracle is!"
The words fell.
Everyone, including Minister Scringer, was taken aback.
"Neville's parents?" Sirius asked, puzzled. "Weren't they... driven mad by the Death Eaters? Why bring them up here?"
Lupin, who has personally witnessed what "Ethan's miracle" truly means.
Then a possibility occurred to him, and his eyes gradually brightened.
Staring intently at the door, he murmured, "Perhaps what she wants us to see is the Longbottoms, now with their reason and sanity restored..."
In full view of everyone.
Two figures slowly walked out from outside the gate.
When they came into everyone's view, the courtroom was filled with gasps of astonishment.
Ethan's azure eyes watched the two slow-moving figures approach.
A slight smile played at the corners of her lips as she spoke softly:
"
...Here they come.
The withered tree, nourished by the golden cup, has been revitalized!
The Longbottoms!
The two were carefully supported by their son, who had grown tall and strong.
Despite his thin build, he looked as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Yet his posture remained upright and his steps remained firm.
His smiling face shone with the light of rationality and unwavering determination!
It is even more dazzling than this magnificent courtroom!
'
First, it's the Longbottoms!!
"Merlin's stockings! How is this possible?! Aren't they...aren't they insane?!"
"Could they have been cured? But I remember even St. Mungo's was helpless against them!"
The Longbottoms had not yet approached.
A dark shadow swept down from above like a whirlwind!
With a whoosh, he gave them a big hug!
"I can't believe I'll see you all again..."
Sirius hugged them tightly, and when he looked up, his face was flushed and his eyes were glistening with tears of reunion.
"God knows, when I was in prison and heard you were arrested, I...I—!"
""
"Sorry we're late."
The Longbottoms gave each other a gentle smile.
Her eyes were also glistening with tears as she looked at her companion, who had also suffered greatly.
The past was a difficult and dark time.
Fortunately, the light eventually shone in.
"Sirius, let go." Lupin walked down the steps with a smile. "Do you want our friend to go back to St. Mungo's on his very first day out of the hospital?"
"oh oh!"
Sirius quickly let go of her arm.
Neville finally breathed a sigh of relief, quietly shifted his feet, and stood in front of his parents, nervously watching Sirius.
"Merlin, am I dreaming...?"

Arthur stared blankly, mouth agape, ignoring even the lingering pain in his body.
I stared blankly at the two familiar faces I hadn't seen in so long.
After a while, his nose tingled, and he grinned with a somewhat foolish smile, muttering repeatedly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"7
In a short time.
No one spoke in the courtroom.
The group looked at each other in silence, as if they had crossed time and were meeting their former comrades-in-arms again.
It exuded a unique atmosphere that made those who didn't know the inside story wipe away their tears.
A few minutes later.
Minister Scrinjee finally came to his senses.
Realizing something, his face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
Pointing at the Longbottoms, he asked tremblingly, "You won't say that the reason they regained their senses is..."
"That's right."
Lady Augustus glanced at him sideways and, in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, declared, "It was our hero, Ethan Vincent, who retrieved the Hufflepuff Cup, a sacred relic, from the Gringotts dark wizard's vault!"
"It was only through its selfless and generous gift to my grandson Neville that I was able to utilize its miraculous power to cure my son and daughter-in-law in one fell swoop!"
"All of this is thanks to Ethan Vincent!!!"
This statement came out.
The crowd erupted in uproar!
Connie Rozier stared in shock, muttering, "Ethan broke into Gringotts, and he actually did it all to get the artifact to save someone...!"
'
"It wasn't just because he wanted to blow up Gringotts; it was a long-term plan! It was for his comrades!"
This dramatic reversal, like a sharp arrow, pierced Connie's heart.
Thump! Thump!
She heard her heart pounding violently, like a drumbeat resounding through her chest.
With each bounce, her cheeks grew increasingly hot.
Like spring water poured onto withered roses.
Her mood also blossomed quickly!
Emotionally.
Her red lips parted slightly as she murmured, "I understand... Ethan didn't blow up the building out of a destructive or troublemaking mindset."
"It's to save lives, to heal the war heroes ravaged by the dark wizard!"
Connie's voice trembled.
His eyes lit up, his breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved like a mountain.
She gave Minister Scringer a long look, her former superior whom she had once regarded as a "beacon of justice".
then.
He resolutely moved away, his gaze fixed intently on Ethan.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Ethan was even more intense than before!
It was as if they had already regarded it as their "god".
...If a "bad person" can do things that even a decent person cannot.
She would rather follow this "villain".
Until the depths of hell.
Could the Minister of Magic possibly cure a patient that St. Mungo's had been unable to cure for over a decade?
Connie exclaimed, "I was wrong, Miss Lovegood. Thank you for bringing me here and correcting my enormous mistake."
"Ethan's thoughts are so profound that they are beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals."
"Every seemingly inhuman step he takes is the result of incredibly far-reaching planning!"
All they need to do is steadfastly follow Ethan and become his strength.
Congratulations! You have received an inspirational image: The Heart of the French Rose.
【The Heart of the French Rose: An exotic flower transplanted to England, it protected itself with hard thorns until it met you, at which point it revealed its unique, tender heart hidden behind layers of thorns】
Even if the sun doesn't shine on it alone.
"Hmm? What's with this sudden burst of inspiration?"
Ethan raised an eyebrow, gazing at the vibrant, luscious rose that appeared before him.
My gaze shifted upwards and landed on that fiery figure in the audience not far away.
Connie: Oh, oh my gosh!
I've made eye contact with my idol!
His fiery expression made it seem like he was about to pounce on her and unleash his fury at her.
Ethan:

""
Boys need to take care of themselves when they're out and about.
Fortunately.
Luna, who was standing next to Connie, seemed to have "accidentally" tripped up the overly excited Auror.
He fell heavily to the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented, and didn't get up for a long time.
"call."
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure on him lessen a bit.
Turning his head to look at the sweating Minister Scrimgeour, he smiled and said, "I never imagined that the Hufflepuff Cup, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, would be in Gringotts Vault, belonging to the Death Eaters."
"That's amazing, isn't it, Minister Scrinker?"
Now, guess who's under pressure?
Scrimgeour:
Minister Scrimgeour: "I declare you innocent, will you please let me go?"
Ethan tilted his head: "Innocent? Looks like Minister Scrinker wants to be on tomorrow's front page."
Scrimgeour: "....Eek QAQ"
The man, as cold and resolute as steel, almost burst into tears.
finally.
Amidst reporters who watched like hyenas and a crowd of people who thought, "You'd better think twice before you speak."
Minister Scrimgeour declared: "I hereby announce the withdrawal of all charges against Mr. Ethan Vincent, and commend him for his outstanding contributions to the wizarding world."

"Destroyed Gringotts' evil plans and successfully prevented the mass prison break of Azkaban."
"Ethan Vincent is hereby awarded the Contribution Award of 6,000 Galleons."
"All personal restrictions are lifted, and he is specially appointed as a Senior Investigator of the Ministry of Magic, with the authority to deploy Aurors in order to track down dark wizards and maintain stability in the wizarding world!"
