Chapter 387 A Second Blossom! Sir, please do not give a speech in court!
"Splash, splash!"
The clatter of the chains echoed through the deathly silent courtroom.
In full view of everyone.
Surrounded by Aurors, a black-haired boy was completely bound by chains.
It pressed heavily on him.
With each step, it made a rustling sound.
It was as if they had trapped not a teenager, but a ferocious beast!
The courtroom was completely silent.
Countless eyes watched as the boy walked into the cage with sharp spikes pointing inwards.
This is an iron cage used to imprison the most vicious and heinous criminals. If you're not careful, you could get pricked by the iron spikes.
It was here that Karkaroff, the former Death Eater and now-escaped Principal Durmstrang, confessed Crouch Jr.'s crimes.
They watched as the rusty iron gate, stained with dark red marks, slowly closed.
Then, I don't know who started it.
In the stands, arms were raised high!
Extending his index finger, he pointed at the magnificent golden dome, as if to pierce it, like sharp arrows standing upright!
He glared angrily at the stiff officials in the dock!
The reporters were writing furiously, like hyenas that had caught a whiff of blood, their pens flying off incessantly!
The trial hadn't even started when chaos erupted at the scene!
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Minister Scringer angrily slammed his gavel down, his face grim, and gestured to the side.
Followed by.
The white guardian gradually dissipated, and the Dementors that had been hovering in the sky immediately swooped down!
A chilling aura emanated from the terrifying face beneath the hood!
"How can the Ministry of Magic use Dementors to frighten people?!" Hermione exclaimed in a low voice, shocked. "This is unjust!"
But clearly, the Ministry of Magic, led by Minister Scrimgeour, intends to exert its full force.
Frost and panic spread to the courtroom.
The crowd stirred for a moment, and then, under pressure, the arms were reluctantly lowered.

"...Then, the trial shall now begin."
Minister Scringer began slowly.
His cold, hard gaze looked down at the black-haired boy in the cage.
The document was read aloud: "The attacks on Gringotts and the bombing of Azkaban caused countless property damage and casualties! Furthermore, the use of inflammatory rhetoric to incite the public has created immense chaos in society!"
"Ethan Vincent! Are you pleading guilty?!"
A dignified voice echoed in the courtroom.
The criminals had committed numerous crimes, and they had no intention of hiding them.
Minister Scringer couldn't believe that Ethan had any way of turning the tables!
However, at that moment...
His gaze shifted, and unintentionally, met those diamond-blue eyes!
—Cold and indifferent.
His impassioned words were like a pebble thrown into the ocean.
It didn't cause any ripples.
Despite being viewed from above, at that moment, he felt as if he were being looked down upon!
'
"...Yes, I did all of that."
The boy's clear voice rang out in the courtroom.
This immediately sparked a noisy discussion!
Before Minister Scrimgeour could even manage a smile, the boy suddenly chuckled, "What a familiar question... Years ago, when I first entered school, a judge asked me the same question."
Ethan looked up, but did not look at Minister Scrinje.
Instead, he looked at the crowd in the stands with his sharp, bright diamond-blue eyes!
He opened his mouth and declared loudly and resolutely, "And my answer is just as it was that day."
"If I am guilty, then my crime is that I defended the rights of all the victims in the darkness!"
'
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from Ethan's body!
In the blink of an eye, the cage shattered!
Fragments of black iron flew everywhere, and the shackles binding Ethan also fell to the ground with a clatter.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere.
Amidst the Aurors' panicked cries.
Ethan raised his arm, pointing it directly at the ashen-faced Minister Scrimgeour, and loudly demanded, "Why is a dragon, a rare and magical creature, being illegally imprisoned beneath Gringotts?!"
"Why do those plundered riches still lie quietly beneath Gringotts?"
"I merely exposed this dark veil, and you're arresting me for vandalism? Whose interests are being harmed here?!"
Every word and every question shot straight at Minister Scrinje like sharp arrows!
This caused a huge uproar in the courtroom!
"That's right!"
"Why are you arresting our savior?!"
"Those incorrigible devils should be arrested!"
"Release Ethan!"
"Ethan's words are still as inspiring as ever," Lupin remarked softly.
Ethan, who was clearly a prisoner on trial, seemed to be invited to give a speech.
Even someone as ordinary as myself couldn't help but feel my heart pounding and my blood surging through my veins.
...This child is a natural speaker.
but.
Lupin's expression turned serious.
Minister Scringer is not like Minister Fudge, who is easily swayed by public opinion, and he is unlikely to compromise easily.
This battle cannot be won with words alone!
as predicted.
【hiss--】
The Dementors' chill swept over us.
Like throwing a bucket of ice into a hot pan, the atmosphere quickly fell silent.

People pulled their arms back and stared in fear at the Dementors floating overhead.
As their black cloaks brushed past, everyone couldn't help but shiver.
At this time.
Minister Scringer then slowly said, "Silence. Next time anyone makes a disturbance, 'ask' them to leave the courtroom!"
"Ethan Vincent, what you just said was all sophistry. Even if Gringotts could offer a reason, what about Azkaban?"
"You have breached the most secure prison in the UK, causing extremely serious consequences! From now on, there will be no more guarantees for the detention of criminals."
Before he could finish speaking...
A languid voice drifted from the spectators: "You might have forgotten, but it's not the safest option."
"I escaped from Azkaban."
Everyone turned around.
Sirius Black, the protagonist of a past wrongful conviction, was seen leaning against the fence.
A smug and mocking smile hung on his face.
"6
'
Minister Scrimgeour's lips twitched twice, and he said hoarsely, "As long as the Dementors are there, it's almost foolproof. But Mr. Vincent has completely ruined it."
"It's not foolproof."
His words were interrupted again.
Now, Minister Scrinzer's face turned as black as a pot lid.
He turned his head sharply and glared at Ethan Vincent, who had just opened his mouth.
"I've wanted to ask this for a long time... Wizards, why do you trust a creature you yourself fear so much?"
"Clearly, they are so prone to betrayal."
Ethan raised his arm, a smile playing on his lips, and whispered, "Go, go give our beloved Minister of Magic a 'passionate' kiss."
The words fell.
The Dementors paused, then suddenly turned around!
Abandoning its previous aimless wandering, it flew with a clear purpose toward Minister Scrinzer!
？ ！！
Everyone's eyes widened suddenly, their faces showing a tangible astonishment!
The Dementors really obeyed the command and moved!
The Aurors were startled for a moment, then quickly reacted, raising their wands and shouting in panic, "Hoo-hoo the Godguard!"
"brush!"
Several beams of silvery light shot out, striking the Dementor away like a torrent.
A constantly shifting barrier formed in front of Minister Scrinje.
【hiss.....】
The Dementors lingered outside, howling in frustration, their uninformed faces fixed on the minister, radiating intense malice.

'
The courtroom was completely silent.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, unable to believe their eyes!
—A Dementor, at Ethan's command, actually attacked the Minister of Magic, who was supposed to be "loyal" to him!
"Blood Mother Hell! When did Ethan become able to control Dementors?"
Ron opened his mouth wide, big enough to fit two large chicken legs.
A brief silence followed.
The crowd erupted in cheers!
"Merlin! That boy actually did it!"
"Ha! Doesn't the Ministry of Magic pride itself on being able to control Dementors? How come they've been attacked instead!"
"So, didn't a dark wizard escape from prison a while ago? — It seems the Ministry of Magic forcibly suppressed it."
Amidst the noise and cheers.
Minister Scrinzer's face looked as if he had eaten a pile of dung.
Grip the gavel tightly, straining until your knuckles turn white!
He looked at the Dementors roaring and circling ahead.
Through the barrier of the guardian spell, one can feel the overwhelming chill of death.
"look."
The culprit stood in the center, spreading his hands innocently: "What did I tell you? Your Ministry of Magic simply can't control Dementors!"
