Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 968

“Your name.” Bones asked.

“Lucius Malfoy.” Lucius said in a slightly trembling voice, and raised his head intentionally or unintentionally, glancing at Kyle who was sitting at the top.

“At the same time, I am also a Death Eater.”

Like a bomb dropped in the interrogation room, Lucius’s next words were beyond everyone’s expectations,

including Amelia Bones.

“My wife, Narcissa Malfoy and I were bewitched by the Dark Lord and made a big mistake.”

There was another buzz around.

“So you came here to show off that you haven’t been caught?” Bones looked at him sternly.

She really didn’t expect Lucius to say that.

Although everyone knew that the Malfoy family were Death Eaters, the Aurors couldn’t find any evidence to arrest them.

In this Malfoy family, only Draco Malfoy had been wanted for killing Dumbledore.

As for Lucius and Narcissa, since they were taken away by Voldemort at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic last time, they seemed to have completely disappeared.

Even in the previous Hogwarts Final Battle, no one saw them.

They didn’t participate at all, so the Aurors naturally had no reason to arrest them.

Of course, if the Aurors wanted, they could look back to earlier times and they would definitely find a reason – but there were still a lot of Death Eaters who had not been interrogated before, and they were too lazy to add new workload to themselves.

But I didn’t expect that Lucius would take the initiative to jump out before the Ministry of Magic investigated.

Such a stupid behavior..-Is the person in front of them really the Malfoy they know?

But he said it, and others couldn’t pretend not to hear it.

Bones slammed the table hard, and a team of Aurors immediately came out, raised their wands, and could control Lucius at any time.

“No, it’s not, believe me, the Malfoy family will never challenge the Ministry of Magic.” Looking at the Aurors getting closer and closer, Lucius said quickly.

“What do you mean!”

“We regret everything we have done.” Lucius said seriously, “I chose to escape last time, but not this time. I am willing to accept the punishment and atone for everything I have done.”

Lucius’ tone and expression were sincere, but the people around him looked incredible.

If they didn’t know Malfoy, they might believe it.

But they knew Malfoy very well. The whole family was good at adapting to the situation. Would such a person take the initiative to jump out and accept punishment?

Even Amelia Bones, who had seen countless big scenes, was slightly stunned. She even suspected that Lucius was controlled by someone with the Imperius Curse.

Otherwise, how could he say such… Such awe-inspiring words…

Bones subconsciously looked at Kingsley. The incoming Auror Office Director shook his head slightly to indicate that Lucius was normal and there was no sign of being controlled by the Imperius Curse.

But this is strange, how come the Malfoy family, who are always changing their attitudes according to the wind, suddenly has a responsible person—

But this guy was not like this before.

Bones was confused. It was just a simple hearing, how come it became complicated all of a sudden.

“So, you are here to turn yourself in?” Bones calmed down and asked in confusion.

“Of course, Madam Minister.” Lucius put his hand on his chest and said righteously: “I regret what I have done. The honor of the Malfoy family reminds me all the time, so I can’t choose to escape.”

For some reason, many members of the Wizengamot who were listening suddenly felt a toothache.

Honor-does the Malfoy family have such a thing?

They should prefer gold, right!

But they couldn’t refute it, so they could only sit there and look at Lucius with their teeth grinning.

“But before that—” Lucius raised his head and regained his previous serious look, “I can’t sit idly by and watch a truly courageous wizard being slandered as a Death Eater.”

“Are you going to testify for Severus Snape?” Bones finally remembered the business this time.

“Yes, I am willing to testify.” Lucius nodded, “I discovered a long time ago that Severus Snape is not a pure Death Eater, but because he is my son’s godfather, I did not tell Voldemort about this discovery.

“Now it seems that this is probably the most correct decision I have ever made. “

This time, not only the old wizards around, but even Kyle and Professor McGonagall couldn’t help but twitch their lips.

Lucius found out that there was something wrong with Snape’s identity?

He found nothing.

If Voldemort knew what Narcissa and Snape had said, it would be enough to kill them ten times.

With Malfoy’s cautious character, if he really knew Snape’s identity, he would never dare to take this risk.

Professor McGonagall on the other side also tilted her head, hesitating whether to give up Lucius as a witness.

She needed Lucius’s help, but this favor was not necessary. If he continued to say so, it might be a bit counterproductive.

Fortunately, Lucius didn’t keep going like this.

“In addition, I can also prove that the Dark Lord did have a Horcrux.” He vowed: “Because I once kept one.”

“What did you say?” Bones frowned, “You kept a Horcrux?”

“Yes,” said Lucius, “and I am willing to submit to the Veritaserum test.”

Bones’ eyes widened slightly and his breathing became louder.

“What is that?” she asked in a low voice. “A notebook.” Lucius said, “It’s the notebook the Dark Lord used when he was in school. It was later confirmed that

He once killed a witch named Myrtle in school and then made this Horcrux. “

“I can prove it.” Professor McGonagall once again took out a piece of parchment and a worn-out diary.

“This is the detailed process at that time, as well as the Horcrux.

Many people stood up, as if they wanted to take a closer look at the legendary thing that can bring people back to life.

Although the diary is broken, it once contained Voldemort’s soul, and some residual traces of magic can still be seen at this time.

The diary was delivered to Bones, and she subconsciously tilted her head back, as if what Professor McGonagall handed over was a dung egg ten times the size.

The same thing applies to other people. It can be seen that they are very resistant to contact with this darkest and most terrifying creation of black magic – but they can’t help their curiosity and choose to watch it from a distance.

More and more people stood up from their seats, and in order to maintain order in the interrogation room, Bones had to ask the Aurors to take away the diary.

“I have one more question, and the most important one.” She looked at Snape again.

“After the decisive battle, did you rescue Voldemort?”

“? Yes!” Snape said after a long silence.

“Why.” Bones asked, “Since you said you were working for Dumbledore, why did you rescue him?”

“I —- don’t know.” Snape said, “I didn’t know what I was doing at the time. It cannot be ruled out that the Dark Lord discovered my identity and used the Imperius Curse on me.’

Kyle was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Snape, who had always told the truth, to lie here.

What does he want to do?

“Aurors have used Legilimency to check my memory.” Snape continued: “They can prove that I am not lying.”

“That’s right.” Kingsley nodded.

Bones said nothing.

Of course she knew the result, and she also saw the scene of Voldemort being killed from Severus Snape’s memory.

The people in the memory include Kyle, a strange witch, and Dumbledore, who has been killed.

They initially suspected that Snape’s memory had been modified, until the portrait in the minister’s office, and Evra, who was also one of the principals of Hogwarts, told her that Dumbledore was indeed not alive, and this was a clever trick he left behind. , a clever plan against Voldemort.

It was hard for Bones to understand, but the portrait wouldn’t lie to the Minister of Magic – so she just thought it was a special kind of magic, similar to the one Lily Evans used on Harry.

It’s just that this matter needs to be more careful. Before she is sure that Voldemort is really killed, she does not plan to make this matter public for the time being.

Bones raised his head, and the whispers around him gradually died down.

“Now then, let’s begin the first round of voting,” she said in a booming voice: “Anyone who thinks Severus Snape is not a Death Eater, please raise your hands.”

One hand was raised.

But Kyle didn’t move. After all, he was not a true member of the Wizengamot. He only had the right to observe and not vote.

But even without him, there were still many people raising their hands. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them raised their hands, and soon more than two-thirds…

“Raise your hands if you think Severus Snape is a Death Eater.”

Only a few people raised their hands this time, and the contrast was very obvious.

“Very good.” Bones took a deep breath, “I announce the results of the first round of hearings and temporarily revoke Severus Snape’s status as a Death Eater.”

There was a round of applause.

But Kyle heard some interesting things in it.

First round…temporarily withdrawn…

It seemed like the Snape thing wasn’t over yet.

But even so, Kangna was already very happy with the result. She jumped up from her seat and clenched her fists in excitement.

“Congratulations.” Bones stood up, exchanged greetings with Snape, and then hurried out of the interrogation room.

It seemed like I was in a hurry.

“I knew it would be more interesting to attend the hearing than to interrogate Death Eaters.”

“Yes, if possible, I really don’t want to participate in that boring interrogation again.

2

The two old wizards next to Kyle also left their seats and quickly walked out of the room with the others.

As they just said, members of the Wizengamot will not only attend a hearing, they will also participate in the interrogation of Death Eaters.

Now they have to go to other interrogation rooms to gather the number of people.

Soon, there were only a few people left in the room. Professor McGonagall, Snape, Connor and Kyle, needless to say, were definitely there.

And Lucius, when Kyle walked over, he took a few steps back out of instinct, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Fortunately, at this time, Kingsley reached out and grabbed his arm and took him out.

According to what Lucius said just now, he also needs to line up for interrogation—.—of course he can’t stay here.

Now, there was no one else in the interrogation room.

Snape’s face was a little complicated. He first expressed his gratitude to Professor McGonagall, and then glanced at Kyle.

Said: “I will live in Hogwarts from now on. Come to me tomorrow. Before that, don’t talk nonsense.”

Kyle shrugged and agreed.

To be honest, he didn’t care about Snape’s lie in the end. If necessary, he could let Snape take the credit for killing Voldemort.

“It’s finally over.” After Snape left with Connor, Professor McGonagall sat there and breathed a long sigh of relief.

When encountering such things before, Dumbledore, the headmaster, handled it. She only needed to deal with the school.

This time, she really took over Dumbledore’s work and changed her identity from Minerva McGonagall to the headmaster of Hogwarts.

It’s more troublesome than expected.

“Professor.” Kyle looked at her and asked, “Snape’s matter is not over yet, right?”

“Yes.” Professor McGonagall said, “But after this time, Severus’ identity can be basically confirmed.

“As long as he cooperates with the Ministry of Magic to investigate a few small things, he can remove the special traces.

“Traces?” Kyle asked in confusion, “Isn’t this only for underage wizards?”

“That’s why I said it’s a special trace.”

At this time, Mr. Weasley walked in from outside.

“I’ve heard it all.” He smiled, “I knew Dumbledore’s vision must be good.”

“Who said it wasn’t.”

“Want to have dinner together? Minerva, Kyle.” He said, “Molly will be very happy.”

“Next time, Arthur.” Professor McGonagall said, “I still have some things to deal with at school.”

“Okay then.” Mr. Weasley said, “You are welcome to come anytime.”

“Thank you, Arthur, and thank Molly for me.”

“I will.” Weasley opened the door, “I’ll take you to the main hall, and I also need to go to see Bob.”

“Okay.” Professor McGonagall nodded. Just as she was about to walk out the door, she suddenly stopped, and her face became not very good.

“Professor, what’s wrong?” Kyle asked.

“No, nothing.” Professor McGonagall said, but it can be seen that her answer was very reluctant.

And after that, she has been a little absent-minded. Not only did she take the wrong elevator, but she almost split when she Apparated.

When the two appeared in Hogsmeade, a strand of hair also fluttered down.

“Professor————” Kyle caught the hair and frowned, “Are you sure it’s okay?”

Hogwarts Principal, Transfiguration Master Minerva McGonagall actually split when she Apparated. Who would believe this if they told others.

“Okay.” Professor McGonagall sighed, “I suddenly realized that we might have done something wrong.

“No————”

Kyle thought for a while, “Everything went well.”

“It’s a Horcrux.” Professor McGonagall whispered: “The temptation of immortality is too great. We shouldn’t expose this secret to too many people.”
