This Hogwarts is not normal

The two witnesses whose hands and feet were bound with chains turned out to be criminals, and notorious Death Eaters at that.

Peter Pettigrew was noticeably smaller, and Barty the Younger, with his light yellow hair, looked extremely gloomy.

The two witnesses were brought to the witness stand by Dawlish, and a full eight Aurors stood straight behind them.

There were four remaining Aurors in the dock, two of whom were old acquaintances.

Vincent waved hello to Tonks and Wales, and received glares from them in response.

He blinked and continued to watch the show with a bored look on his face.

The Tenth Courtroom was quite lively at the moment. Whether it was the Wizengamot members or the people who came to listen, everyone was wondering why the two heinous criminals were witnesses and whether their confessions were legally binding.

As the host, Fudge did not maintain discipline on the scene at the first time. Instead, he showed a triumphant smile.

He regained control of the pace of the hearing and did not keep anyone waiting for long.

"Everyone please keep quiet."

He looked at the two witnesses with a friendly expression, "Witnesses, tell me your names."

"Peter Pettigrew."

"Barty Crouch."

Peter Pettigrew and Barty answered the questions honestly, which made Sirius and Lupin in the audience feel that something was wrong.

Not to mention little Barty, they were very familiar with Peter Pettigrew's personality and temper, and even though this was not a formal trial, there was no way he could speak fluently.

"Remus, do you feel something familiar?"

"Yes, it's very similar to the day of the execution last year."

Peter Pettigrew that day was pretended to be Rookwood. His performance then cannot be said to be exactly the same as now, but it can be said to be completely consistent.

"Damn it!" Sirius couldn't help but curse.

Fudge in the front row seemed not to hear, "Witnesses, where were you at 6:24 pm on June 9th of this year?"

Peter Pettigrew and Barty answered in unison: "In the cemetery next to the village of Little Hangleton."

Fudge raised an eyebrow and looked down upon the two men, "What are you doing there?"

"Wait someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"The winner of the Triwizard Tournament."

"Why wait for him?"

"Because we have something to announce to the world."

Fudge smiled triumphantly again, "Announce what?"

Peter Pettigrew and Barty answered at the same time: "Announce the return of our master."

The Tenth Courtroom became lively again, and the wizards who were not present also learned the news through the live broadcasts secretly started by reporters and anchors.

Before public opinion began to ferment, Fudge asked: "Witness, who is the master you are talking about?"

"Voldemort."

"Is he really back?"

Countless wizards were waiting nervously and anxiously, and even Vincent straightened his back.

However, what they finally got was a straightforward "no".

Vincent leaned back in his chair again. He had been waiting for so long in vain, so at least there should be something new.

The two bombshells of Peter Pettigrew and Barty Jr. were brought out just to deny the fact that Voldemort had returned. If Fudge's script had been that the two of them were instructed by Dumbledore, he would not have been as disappointed as he is now.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon, and the impact brought by the White Lord Dumbledore is enough to overshadow the return of Voldemort.

"Witness, where is Voldemort now?"

"he died."

"So what was that live broadcast that night about?"

"We forged that in advance."

"Why would you want the winner of the Triwizard Tournament to come here?"

"Because we want to use the live broadcast to announce the return of the master, the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament all wear magic communicators, and this device has a background function that can locate the location."

Fudge couldn't hide his inner ecstasy and grinned slightly, "So, the so-called duel that night didn't exist at all?"

"Yes, we faked the video footage in advance, and then used magic projection to make it look real."

"Witness, what is your purpose in forging the fake video?"

"Remind the wizards of the horror of being dominated by our master."

Fudge's grin widened. "In conclusion, I believe that regardless of whether Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore and Vincent Edward Vane, the two parties involved in the hearing, know the truth, their actions have brought very serious impacts to the British wizarding community and even the wizarding community around the world."

He looked down at Dumbledore and Vincent in the dock like a winner. "By spreading rumors without confirmation from the Ministry of Magic, the two parties involved in the hearing are simply dividing the British wizarding community!"

The members of the Wizengamot were not fools. Even if they could not see that something was wrong with the two witnesses, they could see that these questions and answers were arranged in advance.

First, deny Voldemort's return and prove that it was a carefully designed rumor, and then the charges against the two parties involved in the hearing can be brought up again.

From a wizard's perspective, if even the Death Eaters admit that Voldemort is dead, even an outright lie will soon become a fact.

But from a Muggle's perspective, the answers given by the two witnesses were full of loopholes.

What's more, Fudge made a bad move by making up a lie in front of the inventor of the device.

"I have a question." Amid the uproar, a whisper suddenly sounded as if coming from the ear.

Vincent still remained leaning on his chair. "I want to ask the two witnesses, how did you forge such a realistic scene of Dumbledore fighting Voldemort?"

Peter Pettigrew and Barty remained silent, which made Fudge's face flash with a hint of panic.

Vincent was not in a hurry and waited patiently for the answer.

Dumbledore quietly gave a thumbs up, his deep blue eyes looking directly into Fudge's messy eyes.

"This..." Fudge leaned back as if frightened, attracting all the attention in the Tenth Courtroom.

The discussions gradually died down, and many members of the Wizengamot became confused.

Especially Dorje, Machiban and Ogden.

They had already seen that the two so-called witnesses were actually puppets controlled by Fudge. As the Minister of Magic, they dared to break the law knowingly. If this was a court, they would be charged with false testimony on the spot.

The anger of the three people was evident, as if they would expose Fudge's lies at any time.

Supervisor Amelia Bones, who had been silent the whole time, was also a little angry. "Witness, please answer the questions as soon as possible."

The prosecutor's duty is to supervise the legality of the hearing process and ensure that the hearing process is conducted strictly in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

If she finds any illegality in the hearing procedure, she should promptly raise it and urge correction to ensure the fairness and effectiveness of the hearing results.

It is easy to say that faking video footage is easy, but if you are asked how to do it specifically, it is not something that an outsider can answer.
