Hogwarts: I am Voldemort - Chapter 530
c530 a trial
What made Voldemort understand the nature of this world came from a trial.
That was a place “Dumbledore” took him to after they left the commercial street.
The trial took place in the MACUSA building, a place both familiar and unfamiliar to Voldemort.
The person being tried was the leader of a Muggle organization, who was also an acquaintance of Voldemort:
Aerys “The Cutthroat” Targaryen.
In this world, he is also the leader of the Purifiers.
This trial also targets the entire Purifier organization.
“Their organization is very strict, but as my influence on this world gradually deepens, Occlumency is no longer so easy to use, so…”
“Dumbledore” did not explain further, but Voldemort already understood what he meant.
Occlumency no longer works, and of course these Purifiers can no longer hide themselves.
So they’re going to get caught, not just one or two people, but the entire organization.
Aerys Targaryen, who was on trial, was still very arrogant. He loudly scolded the wizards in the court and accused them of their brutal rule.
“Muggles will wake up, wizards. When the fire in their hearts burns, it will be the day when your judgment comes. After all, your number is limited, and the future is still ours.”
He roared angrily, took out a bottle of poison from his arms, and wanted to drink it on the spot.
But the inquisitor used magic to stop him, telling Targaryen that the wizards would not let him die so easily.
Obviously, there will be more serious punishment waiting for him later.
Voldemort frowned slightly and turned to look at “Dumbledore”, but saw that the other person had a calm expression.
“When you want to turn the situation around, you have to use some cruel means. Tom, this world is either left or right. There is never justice or fairness.” Dumbledore curled his lips and said.
“The Albus I know doesn’t think so,” Voldemort retorted.
“Dumbledore” smiled and stopped expressing his opinion.
The trial in front of us did not end here. What followed were some figures in the American political arena who appeared here.
They secretly support the Purifiers, are convicted by the wizards present, and will be punished or executed along with the Purifiers.
And this is not over yet. In addition to the purgers themselves, there are also the politicians who support them, including the financial groups and people who support them secretly.
Even ordinary people who had only helped occasionally and did not know the identity of the other party were also brought up for trial.
This trial lasted for a long time. “Dumbledore” invited Voldemort to visit the British government, but Voldemort refused.
He wanted to watch this trial even more, even though it was full of cruelty, it was of greater reference significance to him.
“This kid just helped deliver a letter to the purgers for a piece of candy, and he is going to be sentenced to death?”
Faced with a child being tried and sentenced to death, Voldemort really couldn’t understand, “He hasn’t grown up yet, he doesn’t know anything, is there any sense in doing this?”
“Of course.”
“Dumbledore” said matter-of-factly, “This will allow more Muggle parents to understand how to educate their children. Tom, as I said, it is not easy to change an idea.”
“Do you want wizards to be slave owners?” Voldemort asked doubtfully.
“No, Tom, just let them get justice.” “Dumbledore” replied.
“But that doesn’t seem fair at all.”
“Overkill, you think?”
“Yes.”
“But if they don’t experience such pain, how can Muggles treat wizards correctly?”
“Dumbledore”‘s words silenced Voldemort.
Knowing human nature, he understood that “Dumbledore” did not lie.
If you want Muggles to truly accept wizards, persuasion and reasoning are very difficult to achieve.
This principle is a bit like educating children. No matter how many principles you preach, it is better to go up and give it a try.
It doesn’t have to be harsh, and it doesn’t have to be beaten to death. As long as he remembers the pain, he will naturally accept the result.
“How to resolve hatred?” Voldemort asked.
“Give it time, Tom, humans are more forgetful than they think.”
“Dumbledore” had a disdainful smile on his lips, “Do you know the shame or glory recorded on the stone tablets?”
Voldemort nodded, there are still some monuments from World War II in Europe.
“By the time those stone monuments collapse, people have already forgotten this. I saw an interview on a program, and someone said that Germany was the one who defeated Japan. Isn’t this funny?”
Voldemort twitched the corners of his mouth to reveal a perfunctory smile, but no words came out of his mouth.
Now on trial is an old man who was sentenced to death for giving a piece of bread to a purger who looked like a beggar out of compassion.
It was a ridiculous trial, but in the face of “Dumbledore’s” theory, he really couldn’t say anything.
Yes, if you want an existence that has been rejected by the world to be accepted by the world again, it is definitely not possible to use peaceful methods.
The more violent the method, the more unfair and cruel it is.
The prisoners on the trial bench rotated around like a spectator, and the camera on the side perfectly recorded the loss, pain and fear on the faces of these people when they faced the injustice of their fate.
According to “Dumbledore”, these images will be rotated on TV 24 hours a day to ensure that all Muggles can see this gift of fear.
The reason why these people are being judged will not be stated clearly. They only need to remember that “the one who purges is guilty.”
Concepts will slowly change because of this, and hatred will still exist, but do they really have the power to resist?
“The guns in this world have been destroyed on a large scale, and technology is regressing, but magical civilization has emerged. Maybe if you look at it in a few hundred years, more magic towers will be built here.”
“Dumbledore” had pride on his face, and pride contained iron-bloodedness and arrogance.
Voldemort didn’t express any opinion on this. The more he saw the end, the more silent he became.
How can we move forward in our own world?
This was a question he pondered after being silent, but no one could give him the answer, including himself.
At the end of the trial, the Ministry of Magic proposed several new bills, most of which were aimed at Muggles and would be promoted through the Muggle government.
The Muggle government in this world has completely become a puppet.
“It’s time to leave, Mr. Dumbledore, thank you for the help you brought me.”
Although he didn’t like this world, Voldemort didn’t dislike “Dumbledore” either.
On the contrary, he was somewhat grateful to the other party.
In any case, he relieved himself of many doubts, although some of these doubts were also caused by him.
But even if the other party doesn’t explain, won’t fate be like this?
Incompetence is one of the original sins, and this was the biggest impact this trial had on Voldemort.
Even though he understood this truth a long time ago, when the entire Muggle community fell into this “original sin”, the impact was still enough to shock him.
With this shock, Voldemort’s memory world broke away from this body and floated to the end of the sky.
“Goodbye to the world of the Dark Witch King.”
Taking one last look at Hogwarts in the morning light, Voldemort left without hesitation.
