Chapter 597: Using rules to pressure people, who wouldn't do the same?



Kyle looked at Amelia Bones. Of all the people present, she was the main interrogator, not Umbridge, who was dancing the most happily.

"I have no objection to Mr. Malfoy's proposal, but the prerequisite is that I must receive a formal interrogation letter."

Kyle said word by word, "The pre-flashback spell is my bottom line. It is my explanation to the Ministry of Magic on behalf of the Hogwarts students. But after this, I will not accept any form of inquiry unless you send a formal letter or produce new evidence.

"For now, I demand that this ridiculous interrogation be brought to an immediate end."

"Let's vote by raising our hands," Amelia said in a resonant voice. "Those who agree that the charges are not established, please raise your hands."

After saying that, she was the first to raise her hand.

To be honest, she didn't agree with this interrogation in the first place, but there was nothing she could do, since Fudge was the Minister and there was Umbridge fanning the flames.

Then more people raised their hands, including Scrimgeour.

Like Amelia, Scrimgeour felt that this interrogation was a waste of time.

Kyle's whereabouts were too simple. He had never been to school or home, and nowhere else. He really couldn't imagine how Kyle could have avoided everyone and killed an adult wizard.

There were many people raising their hands. Without counting, I knew that more than half of them raised their hands. However, Amelia continued, "Please raise your hands if you agree that the charges are true."

Umbridge immediately raised her hand, along with five or six other people. Kyle scanned them one by one and memorized their appearance.

Oh, the three Malfoys also raised their hands... Too bad they don't have the right to vote.

"Very good," said Amelia Bones, "Not guilty!"

"A wise choice," said Professor McGonagall, smiling.

"Don't be happy too soon."

Umbridge looked at Kyle with a sullen face. "You wanted to receive the interrogation letter, didn't you? You will receive it soon. I really hope that you can still be so confident when you come to the Ministry of Magic again in seven days."

"I think you are mistaken about one thing. Everything is first come first served, Ms. Umbridge."

Kyle smiled and said, "Before that, you need to explain today's behavior to the Wizengamot, and the Wizengamot Trial Meeting will determine whether your testimony is reliable."

Then, Kyle put away his smile and said seriously, "Ms. Amelia Bones, regarding today's interrogation, as a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Second Class, I formally apply to the Wizengamot for a ruling.

"Including the truth of the testimony, and the improper questioning of me by Madam Dolores Jane Umbridge."

"On behalf of the Wizengamot, I accept your application." Ms. Bones nodded seriously, "In addition, you need to prepare a written application and submit it to the Wizengamot."

"No problem," Kyle said.

Seeing that Kyle only mentioned one name, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, except Umbridge, who was a little flustered.

"You can't agree to that, Amelia." She said, her face pale. "You can certainly see that he is just seeking revenge, and I am the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic. He has no right to interrogate me!"

"In fact, he did." Ms. Bones said calmly, "As an honorary member of the Wizengamot, he has the right to apply for a ruling when the evidence is in doubt.

“In addition, I also reminded you before this interrogation began that this behavior is completely against the rules, and if you make a mistake, the consequences will be serious.

"I thought the Sirius Black incident would make you more sober, but now it seems that it hasn't happened."

After that, she stood up and left the room.

The others left their seats, and several members of the Wizengamot came up to Kyle, first apologizing, then saying they could help.

But Kyle refused them all with a smile.

Kyle glanced at Umbridge once more before leaving the room.

She was sitting there now, repeating something like "I'm the Senior Deputy Minister" over and over again.

Yes, Kyle was indeed seeking revenge, but what could she do? She was just using the rules to pressure others. Everyone would do the same.

After leaving here, Kyle, Professor McGonagall and Chris walked towards the elevator.

Kyle noticed that the corner of Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

"Professor McGonagall, do you want to go back now?" Chris asked.

"No, I have to tell Dumbledore what just happened." Professor McGonagall said, "This kind of thing must not happen again."

"When will Mr. Potter's end?"

“Maybe soon.”

"Go sit at my desk for a while."

"No, I'll just wait here so I don't miss it later."

When the iron gates opened, Dumbledore walked out, along with Harry and Mr. Weasley.

"Oh, Minerva, Kyle." Dumbledore came over. "Great, have you finished your business as well?"

Seeing him, Professor McGonagall's face darkened again, "Come with me Albus, I have something to tell you."

Then the two of them came to another corridor.

"Kyle, I heard from Professor Dumbledore that you received a warning letter?" Harry came over and asked, "What happened?"

He seemed to be in a good mood, so it seemed that the charges against him were not true.

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Nothing, just like you, violating the rules by using spells outside of school."

He did not choose to tell Harry the truth, not because he wanted to hide it from him on purpose. Mainly because Harry was really a bit... well, let's call him honest, and he couldn't hide anything either on his face or in his heart.

And Harry also knew the truth. After all, this was the Ministry of Magic. It would be troublesome if he let anything slip.

Not long after, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall came back, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Leave it to me, Kyle," he said. "If they don't want to give up, I'll fight them."

"Professor," Kyle said calmly, "Actually, I can do this myself. It's not that difficult."

Dumbledore's expression froze. He looked at Kyle, wondering what he was thinking. After a moment, he said meaningfully, "You are still just a student, Kyle. Some things are better handled by adults."

"Okay then." Kyle shrugged and said nothing.

He could see that Dumbledore didn't seem to want him to get too involved in this matter.

But is this possible? Kyle couldn't just let it go.

Nothing happened to him, but what if they came up with a more disgusting trick next... like throwing a black wizard directly into St. Catchpole Village.

The way they do things, it's not impossible, Harry is the best example.

Kyle didn't want to spend all his time and energy dealing with this kind of thing. The Wizengamot was just the first step, preventing them from causing trouble for him in a short period of time, but it didn't mean that the matter was over.

And Voldemort is also a big problem.

Kyle definitely didn't believe that there was no one behind Karkaroff and Malfoy. Otherwise, with their personalities, it would be impossible for them to do such a thing today.

This was most likely Voldemort's request, and he was just being targeted, and had no choice but to enjoy the treatment that only Harry had.

As for the reason, it is nothing more than Nagini.

As one of the Horcruxes, Voldemort must value the snake very much and would naturally try to get it back.

But Dumbledore said that Voldemort was seriously injured that day, just like his hand, it would take time to recover and would not heal quickly. He had been recuperating for the previous month.

Seeing that Kyle was about to start school, he definitely couldn't sit still.

After all, as long as Kyle returned to Hogwarts, he would have no chance of snatching the snake away unless he was willing to lead people to attack the school.

There are still two years before I graduate, and it would be very uncomfortable if Voldemort keeps doing this.

Since there is no way to kill Voldemort directly, the solution to this problem must start from the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle rubbed his chin.

And it's time to take some time to study the snake in the box.

Ever since he snatched Nagini away, he has kept the snake in a box and never taken care of it. He doesn't know whether Nico's potion works on living things.

Kyle remembered that the snake seemed to be a wizard, but it turned into a snake due to some special reasons... It seemed to be a curse called the Blood Curse Orc.

So if possible, he didn't want to kill Nagini directly.

Kyle thought to himself.

Dumbledore seemed to have noticed something. He looked at Kyle deeply and reminded him again: "Remember, Kyle, you are still a student."

"Of course, Professor." Kyle came back to his senses and said, "I've always known that."
