Chapter 2 Death Eaters On Trial
‘Smack!’
"quiet!"
The person who presided over the trial was Barty Crouch from the British Ministry of Magic.
Not long ago, he gained great prestige for personally sending his son to Azkaban. Although he was not the chief wizard of Wiesengamor, he gained the power to preside over the interrogation of all special Death Eaters.
Voldemort and his gangsters caused trouble to Europe and set off a war of wizards, which was extremely evil.
On Halloween in the 1981st, Voldemort broke out in madness and ran to the Godric Valley, the hiding place of the Porter family. He made trouble without giving candy. As a result, both sides suffered losses in the candy battle and died.
Then, the monkeys fell and scattered, the Death Eaters and the Black Wizard were killed or imprisoned, which was very satisfying.
But this process did not happen overnight. It is now the fourth year after Voldemort's death. The overall situation is decided long ago, and there are very few Death Eaters who have not yet been brought to justice.
The person on trial today is Stanley Shafiq, one of the twenty-eight pure blood families in Great Britain.
Stanley's wife, Katherine Shafik, comes from the Fawley family of the twenty-eight pure blood families.
Their son, Kane Shafik, is six years old this year, born in seventies and nine years, one year older than Harry Potter, who lives in his aunt's cupboard at this time.
Of course, this is just physical age, but there is a big gap in psychological age, because Kane is Zhao Wenrui who is the soul-piercing Zhao.
"His Excellency Justice, I think Stanley should receive a commutation of sentence. He was still willing to believe in the credibility of the Magic Association and took the initiative to lead the way. We should be lenient for criminals who really want to repent."
"I don't agree, Mr. Justice, it's a coincidence that Auror was struck by lightning during law enforcement."
"Hmph, it turns out that Henry Reeves still knows that he is enforcing the law? Who dares to say that what he said is not nonsense?"
"This memory of Stanley may not be true, maybe it was modified by soul-absorbing thoughts."
"Can you be convicted by guessing alone? The Stanley family was chased to the end of their journey. They were discovered by Aurors by robbing a Muggle bakery. In this case, they could still meet the master of soul-sucking thoughts to help them modify their memories. I think this is a lower probability than lightning strikes."
"Stanley has been on the run for four years! He has no repentance and has injured Auror many times..."
"I'm afraid that there is an Auror who refuses to accept surrender and must let his family die, right? How long did Henry Reeves chase Stanley? Did it last from beginning to end?"
"Stanley is burdened with multiple blood debts and confesses..."
"Most of the people he killed were the Muggles armed with protecting the wizards."
"Muggles are also humans, and they oppose discrimination..."
"You use the word Muggle now, which is part of discrimination."
"Stanley is a staunch Death Eater and cannot be forgiven!"
"I think Stanley is at least two points better than ordinary Death Eaters. First of all, he is honest enough, unlike some people who use the excuse of Soul-Snatching Curse and Ecstasy to say that he is manipulated and has no control. Secondly, he loves his family. He is indeed not a good person, but he has a family concept and loves his family and is willing to give his life for him. I think he is not a great evil and has the value of saving."...
The two sides were fighting with each other and blushing. Kane, who was sitting in the defendant's family seat, seemed to be frightened and hid half of his body behind his mother, secretly looking out from the gap between his arms, but in fact he was silently observing these people.
Authority, reputation and strength. These fifty people from Wiesengamor can be said to be ceiling-level figures in the entire wizard world. It is no harm in observing and analyzing it.
Once hatred settles, it is not so easy to dissolve. The wizard war lasted eleven years, and now it is the time to liquidate.
As Kane expected, the intensity of this public trial was the highest among all Death Eaters' trials.
It was not only because of Stanley's special action of surrendering himself, but also because of the wealth of the Fangli family and the Shafik family.
Before Stanley, there was no Death Eater backbone willing to surrender, and no one like Stanley was tried as the patriarch of the ancient pure blood family.
Fang Li and Shafik are two ancient pure blood families with poor population but not yet completely declining.
Now, the male heir of the Fang Li family has died, and even the strongest guardian of combat power has died in the wizard war.
And the Shafik family is only Stanley and Kane's lineage.
The two families have a considerable wealth, such as the secret ancestral house, the secret book of ancestral artifacts, etc.
Many of these items are usually indesirable, and they specifically involve ancient and sacred contracts.
Only by making a breach of the agreement and making clear evidence can these protection treaties be bypassed and sanctioned.
Now, whether it is the International Federation of Magic, the British Ministry of Magic, or other pure blood families, they all want to take this opportunity to get valuables.
For example, share the secret ancestral scriptures of the Fangli family and the Shafik family.
"The banned black magic spells must be identified and eliminated." Crouch could not refuse.
Then, he spoke slowly and said to Shafik and his son: "This is also for your own good. Power can easily breed ambition. Now what you need most is ambition, but a peaceful life. Without these things, there will be less external covetousness!"
What they said seems to make sense, but the Fang Li family and the Shafik family have lasted for nearly a thousand years, and there are many amazing people among them. Who has the final say whether the art they invented is black magic?
For example, the technique like "Shen Feng Wuying" is vague in character, and is left to right, all within the thoughts of the reviewer.
In addition, the process of identification is the process of recording. The wizards are reluctant to destroy knowledge at will. They will write it down, encapsulate it into banned books, and store it in a secret library. As for who can read it, you guess?
The biggest feeling of the wizards who experienced the wizards' war, represented by the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, was that their technical background was not strong and their overall combat power was low.
The wizards on the evil side always produce strange and mature spells from time to time, either reverse the situation or escape from heaven.
This is also the main reason why the Death Eaters are particularly difficult to fight and capture. It is not that they have tenacious fighting will or that they have strong magic power, but that there are always new and novel methods.
Of course, no one thinks that those magic was invented by the Death Eaters themselves, but is attributed to their family's origins. The inheritance is long enough and there will always be accumulation.
Just people learned from their mistakes and deeply felt the importance of guns, and deeply felt that there were a few non-general trump card methods.
However, magic cannot be invented with just a slap in the head. Even if you have that talent, you must have corresponding other conditions. For example, money.
In this context, it is obviously the most efficient to directly use ready-made ones.
So, isn’t it a good opportunity now? The foundation of two ancient pure blood families can be fully extracted. If they are killed, it will be difficult to get all the wizards’ hiding things.
So Crouch's verdict was issued.
"I object!" This time, the one who stood up loudly was Connelly Foggy of the British Ministry of Magic. He is not the Minister of Magic yet, so he needs to perform harder. He said righteously: "This is a trampling on the dignity and glory of the ancient family."
Crouch said: "The problem now is that their own disdain for descendants, under these banners, shame their ancestors. I think the British Ministry of Magic can send people to participate in specific actions to identify which black magic scripts belong to."
Fudge sat down. He won the right to divide the cake for the British Ministry of Magic.
Crouch looked around and said majesticly: "Does anyone have any objections to this?"
Another man stood up, also a member of the Wiesengam Judge. He shouted: "It is understandable that the loser loses everything. But today a very bad precedent was set. The Shafiks family voluntarily surrendered themselves, but in return they were deprivation of bone-knocking and marrow-squeezing!"
Kane gave this person enough attention and saw that he was a middle-aged fat man with a bald face.
This fat man has a rosacea, but he is not capable and handsome enough on the outside. Because of his excitement, the strands of hair covering the bald roof from the side drooped in a mess, giving him a bit of a sloppy feeling of "unty-headed and dirty face".
