Chapter 482 Sirius, Retrial

After promising Fred and George that he would take them to the box after lunch, Kyle finally had some peace and quiet.

In order to prevent Kyle from sneaking away, Fred and George did not go to the Gryffindor table, but sat with him at the Hufflepuff table.

Because they had been here many times before, they naturally sat on both sides of Kyle and greeted the people around them familiarly.

Originally thought that this would be foolproof, but plans could not keep up with changes.

No one expected that just when Kyle finished the last bite of tortilla, Dumbledore suddenly appeared in the hall and walked straight to the Hufflepuff table.

"Kyle, can you come with me...if you are full." He said.

"No problem, professor." Kyle said.

He spread his hands to the stunned Weasley brothers, and then followed Dumbledore to the outside of the hall.

"I just got the news." Dumbledore walked out of the hall door quickly, saying, "The retrial of Sirius will be held at one o'clock. Cornelius invited us to attend together. If you agree to attend, we can go together."

"Of course I agree, but professor, can I go too?" Kyle asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Fudge specifically mentioned your name. He said that as the first person to discover the clues, you are fully qualified to participate in this retrial... He also said that the retrial was scheduled today because Hogwarts is on holiday on the weekend."

Kyle curled his lips.

He didn't believe this at all. Fudge was not the kind of person who would do such unnecessary things. If he really thought so, wouldn't it be more convenient to arrange the retrial on holiday?

"He probably wants a witness," Kyle muttered, "to increase credibility."

"Connelly is very thoughtful." Dumbledore did not deny it, "After all, we all know about this matter through you. Your presence will always make the retrial less controversial.

In addition, as a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Second Class, although you have not graduated yet, you also have some say in the Wizengamot."

"Wizengamot?" Kyle was surprised, "Does that mean I also have the right to vote?"

Dumbledore did not speak, but just smiled politely.

"Okay, I understand." Kyle said.

Obviously, his right to speak is just a literal meaning... He can say hello to others, nothing else.

Dumbledore did not walk to the school gate, but stopped in a field in front of the Black Lake.

He stretched out his arm and said to Kyle, "There are less than ten minutes left before the retrial. I think we'd better go there quickly."

Kyle grabbed his arm.

With a dizzy moment, when Kyle opened his eyes again, he was already in a magnificent hall.

Kyle did not ask why Dumbledore could Apparate in Hogwarts. There was no need for this. For wizards who were strong enough, those restrictive measures would not be so effective.

Besides, Dumbledore was still the principal, so it was not difficult to give him a temporary privilege.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, you are finally here." A tall figure walked over from the other side of the hall.

"I can't believe that Black could be innocent. His case has been settled for twelve years."

"I was as surprised as you when I learned about this, Kingsley." Dumbledore shook hands with him and asked, "How is it now? We are not late, are we?"

"No, the retrial will be held on time at one o'clock. It's completely in time now." Kingsley said,

He glanced at Kyle and did not ask why Dumbledore brought a student here. Obviously, he had received the news in advance.

"Come with me, the retrial will be held in the third courtroom..."

Kingsley walked out, and Kyle followed him.

After leaving the hall, they came to another magnificent hall, which was almost filled with wizards, probably hundreds of them, all of whom were walking forward in a hurry.

"This way." Kingsley said.

They joined the crowd, but with Dumbledore following them, the road was relatively smooth, and other wizards would always politely make way for them when they saw them.

They also passed a table with "Security Check" written on it. This was the place responsible for checking the guests' wands, and there was a long line in front.

But Kingsley did not stop and walked straight over. And the wizard in charge of checking the wands seemed not to see them, and slowly took over the wand of another person.

"Oh... why can't they accept the inspection..." A person in the middle of the team asked with a heavy accent: "That child... is obviously not an employee..."

The originally lifeless team immediately became much more lively. Everyone stretched their necks to look at the person who was speaking, and guessed from which remote corner he came that he would suddenly ask such a stupid question.

Didn't he see who was following the child?

The person in charge of checking the wands also raised his head and said lazily: "If your name is Albus Dumbledore, you can also go now..."

There was a burst of laughter around.

At this time, Kyle and Dumbledore had already walked through the hall and walked into an elevator.

There were quite a few people inside, and they all greeted Dumbledore enthusiastically.

"Long time no see, Albus, I guess you must be here because of the Black incident." said a bald wizard holding a cardboard box.

"Yes, Arcoli," said Dumbledore.

"It's really surprising." The wizard named Akoli said, "Everyone in the ministry who is qualified to participate in the retrial has passed. I dare say that in the next month, this matter will always appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet. above.

If Black can overturn the verdict, it will take even longer. "

At this time, a cold female voice spoke.

"The seventh floor, the Department of Magical Games and Sports, includes the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters, the Official Gobstone Club and the Office of Patents for Funny Products."

The elevator door opened, and there was a messy corridor in front of it, with various Quidditch posters staggered on the walls.

"Oh, I'm here." Akoli walked out of the elevator, "See you next time, Albus."

"See you next time."

The elevator door closed again.

Then they passed the Department of Magical Transportation and the Department of International Magical Cooperation... After arriving at this level, there were only three of them left in the elevator.

Then there are the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and their destination this time...

"The Department of Magical Law Enforcement, including the Office for the Abuse of Magic, Auror Command and the Wizengamot Governing Body."

"We're here," said Dumbledore.

They followed Kingsley out of the elevator and came to a corridor with doors on both sides.

"Come with me, we have to hurry up." Kingsley turned left and walked forward along a corridor. After walking past the Auror headquarters, which was covered with various portraits, he finally stopped in front of a heavy wooden door.

"This is the third courtroom," Kingsley said.

"Someone suggested that the location should be in the Tenth Courtroom... Fortunately, the minister did not agree. That place has been abandoned for a long time, and it is deeper than the elevator.

It's good here now, at least it's not that dark, and there's no unpleasant musty smell... Come on in. "

Kyle stepped forward. Even through the heavy door, he could hear the noise coming from inside.
