I swung a sword at Hogwarts

"It's helping Harry Potter, am I right?" said Old Barty. "The unknown black."

"I think so." Mrs. Figg nodded.

Judging from the situation at that time, the black thread did not attack Harry, but only took the Dementors away.

Old Barty looked at Harry with a straight face and said, "You cast the Patronus Charm just before you were rescued?"

"No, no, that black makes people uncomfortable." Harry explained.

Old Batty interrupted him and said, "Do you think this will make you more noticeable?"

"Minister Crouch," said Dumbledore quietly, "I do not think it is a coincidence that the Dementors are there."

"I'm sorry, I think what we should discuss now is why Harry Potter still chose to use magic when he was about to escape danger." Old Barty said loudly, "I will ask about the Dementors later."

He turned to look at Harry and snapped, "This wouldn't be the first time, would it."

Dumbledore frowned. Old Barty knew about Voldemort, so why did he have this attitude now?

Staring closely at Harry, old Barty said, "I don't know why the last Minister Fudge would let a little wizard who made a serious mistake go."

"In my opinion, losing control of one's emotions and inflating a Muggle is an extremely dangerous thing. What do you think, defense witness?"

Throwing the topic to Dumbledore, Dumbledore was silent for a while. He had already understood that old Barty was now expressing his dissatisfaction.

"As the Chief Magician of the Wizengamot, I think you should be aware that continuing to use magic when the source of danger has been eliminated is not enough to fulfill Article 7 of the Law on Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards."

As the former Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Old Barty was very familiar with these.

He brought up Dumbledore's identity, which was also a subtle hint about Dumbledore.

Apparently, Dumbledore got the hint.

"Perhaps you have forgotten this identity and forgotten some things."

As Old Batty said this, Amelia beside him turned to look at him in disbelief.

"It is like this," Dumbledore looked up at old Barty and said calmly, "Perhaps I am not suitable to continue in this position."

After getting the answer, Batty Sr. showed a smile, but it disappeared quickly.

He said seriously, "Don't tell anything that is not related to this case."

Harry was amazed to see Dumbledore so humiliated.

In his mind, Dumbledore has always been synonymous with omnipotence.

"With all due respect, Harry Potter is not completely out of danger," said Dumbledore, "and the black one showed no intention of helping Harry after taking away a Dementor."

"That's just your guess, isn't it?" Old Barty looked at Dumbledore and said, "Your witnesses have proved it."

"I have other proof," Dumbledore said, not looking at old Barty, but looking behind him.

"Maybe I can get that person to come out and confirm it in person."

John felt the gaze and he knew that Dumbledore was looking at him.

He remained silent, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly under the mask.

Want to help yourself?

Dumbledore, you may have forgotten what I said.

Or is it your arrogance and prejudice that make you think that I am still that good student?

He looked down at Dumbledore below, with no intention of showing up.

Old Batty said with a dark face, "You mean, you know that person?"

"Yes," said Dumbledore. "I am certain that he had no intention of continuing the attack."

"You infer so much," said old Batty sarcastically, putting down the paper in his hand. "You can even amend certain laws. You once had such power."

"I will believe you for now, but I don't want to dwell on Harry Potter's past behavior outside of school and the mistakes made by the previous Minister."

Old Barty put his hands together and said loudly to the members of the Wizengamot, "Please raise your hands if you agree that the charges are not established."

Hands were raised one after another, and it was unclear whether it was because of Dumbledore or because they were convinced.

Adding all together, it turned out to be half, including Amelia and a series of wizards close to Dumbledore.

This gave Harry hope.

Old Batty continued: "Those who agree that the charges are true, please raise your hands."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and then one hand after another was raised, and it actually reached half of the total.

It was half and half, and everyone turned their eyes to John, who did not raise his hand.

Old Barty's voice was not so harsh, and he said: "Ministry of Magic consultant, you can participate."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think he's qualified," Amelia interrupted. "He's only an advisor, not a member of the Wizengamot."

"But now we are at an impasse, aren't we?" Old Batty said in a cold voice, "Or do you think we need a second trial?"

But Harry didn't want to go through it a second time.

Dumbledore spoke up, "I think it would be fair to involve the Ministry's advisors."

His words blocked Amelia's words.

Turning his gaze to the silver mask, Dumbledore's eyes were filled with emotions as he said calmly, "I didn't expect to meet you here, Sir Johnny Silverhand."

"Principal Dumbledore," John stood up and said calmly, "There are many things you didn't expect. You are not God, and you can't control everything, right?"

He meant something.

Under everyone's gaze, John asked softly, "I'm actually very curious about one thing."

"As a student receiving education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, why can't you even control your own magic power and do things that hurt Muggles?"

John looked at Dumbledore and said pointedly, "The wizarding world has invested a lot of money in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so they naturally don't want young wizards to not receive a good education in school."

"I hope the Ministry of Magic can supervise the education issues of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

After a few months, the Slytherin dragon bares its fangs at the Hogwarts phoenix.

Old Batty's expression changed, and he understood what John meant.

The voice beneath the silver mask seemed so sincere, yet it was also extremely poisonous.

"I personally bear no ill will towards Harry Potter."

Just to you, Dumbledore.

"I am keen to give young wizards a chance to reform. I agree that the charges should not be established, but I hope that supervision by the Ministry of Magic will be implemented as soon as possible, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Dumbledore, it's time for you to step down from your position.

John sat down after he finished speaking, the coldness in his eyes flowing towards Dumbledore.

I said I would settle the score, starting with your school, Dumbledore.

Ultimately Harry was found not guilty, but on relative terms.

Dumbledore suspended his position as headmaster, waiting for the senior investigator to enter Hogwarts to investigate whether there were any educational problems and decide whether to reinstate him.

The position of Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot was abolished, and his position as President of the International Confederation of Magic was also implicated.

Harry couldn't be happy. He felt that he had dragged Dumbledore down and caused him to lose everything.

Dumbledore consoled him, "As long as you don't remove me from the Chocolate Frog picture, I don't care."

Harry was not very happy. His mind kept recalling old Barty's trial and the silver mask.

...

Chapter 279 First and Second

"Harry, please go back with Arthur first."

"But, Dumbledore."

"I still have things to sort out."

As Harry walked out of the courtroom, he looked back at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore winked at him as always.

Mr. Weasley was waiting outside, anxious to know the result.

John saw that Dumbledore had not left. Old Barty nodded slightly to John and left immediately.

"That boy disappoints me a little." Damo Alex shook his head in disappointment. He thought the legendary savior would be very different.

Looking at it now, there is not much difference between him and an ordinary 15-year-old boy.

The two of them walked out the door while talking.

"Sir Johnny Silverhand, can I invite you to talk?"

Dumbledore invited him, and Damo Alex looked at Dumbledore and then at John, and said, "I'm leaving first."

John paused, and the people in the courtroom seemed to know that this was the time for the two of them, and they filed out.

Amelia slowed down her pace as she passed the two of them, then quickened her pace as she walked out.

There were only two people left in the courtroom, with John standing opposite Dumbledore.

"Perhaps this will make you feel better," Dumbledore said with a kind expression, "I am very sorry about that."

John looked at him and said nothing.

Dumbledore continued, "I understand that you are preparing something to deal with the Death Eaters, something overly radical."

"I was hoping we could sit down and have a good chat," he waved his hand, and two soft chairs appeared, "Maybe all we need is a conversation."

He looked at John hopefully and invited him to sit down.

John looked down at the chair beside him and raised his hand to touch it gently.

"You know, Dumbledore," John said softly, running his fingers over the smooth surface of the chair, "I've been thinking about something these days."

"Who exactly is Dumbledore?" he said slowly, looking up. "The headmaster of Hogwarts?"

"No, it's not."

"Dumbledore is a god."

As he spoke, there was an unreadable look in his eyes.

"He is in control of everything, so he should let Dumbledore handle everything."

"He is full of mercy, he is full of compassion, he is like a saint...like God."

Flames ignited where the fingertips touched the chair, and the chair was gradually engulfed in flames.

The flames covered half of the silver mask, and John's voice became emotionless. "We should all do this, listen to Dumbledore and embrace him."

"John." Dumbledore was stunned.

"But God is old."

John's voice became colder, "When God bleeds, the God-killer will appear."

The fire burned fiercely and the chair quickly turned into a charred black.

"You think you're a good headmaster?" John sneered, "It's a fact that internal education is lacking, Dumbledore. This is not my temper. Your education has made it difficult for students to even have the basic ability to protect themselves."

"If you are a god, you should be fair and impartial to all living beings. You have not done that."

"You know what's sad?"

"You have the power of a god, but the heart of a man."

"You try to avoid your shortcomings, but you end up nurturing them."

"You can lead the entire Ministry of Magic to eliminate Voldemort and minimize casualties."

"Yet you chose to lead another team yourself, causing unnecessary tragedy."

“You run away from yourself, but you can’t let go of everything.”

The chair was completely burned, and a pungent smell of burning filled the room.
