Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 193 Death Sentence

The buzzing discussion in the courtroom became louder and louder, as if a bunch of angry bees suddenly appeared in the courtroom.

Ethan even heard crying and yelling in the din.

Barty Crouch lowered his head and stared at the ground without saying a word. The atmosphere in the courtroom became very depressing.

Fudge suddenly felt thirsty. The trial of Barty Crouch was not as pleasant as he originally imagined.

He also noticed that something was not right about the atmosphere at the scene now.

Fudge coughed twice and cleared his throat: "Now take the prisoners down one by one!" Fudge knocked the gavel and said loudly.

Two Aurors standing behind Barty Crouch lifted Barty Crouch up and tried to take him down.

But Barty Crouch broke free from the hands of the two Aurors and walked towards the courtroom with his head held high.

The two Aurors escorting Barty Crouch looked at each other and did not interfere with Barty Crouch again.

Out of respect for Barty Crouch, they allowed this man who had worked for the Ministry of Magic for most of his life to maintain his last bit of dignity.

Let him use his own gesture to say a final farewell to everyone.

Everyone watched Barty Crouch leave. Everyone knew that this was probably the last time they would see Barty Crouch, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After Barty Crouch left, the noisy courtroom gradually became quiet.

Everyone began to wait for the next trial to begin.

Not long after, the door to the courtroom was pushed open again.

Two tall and strong Aurors carried little Barty Crouch, who was as soft as noodles, into the courtroom.

The Aurors placed little Barty Crouch directly on the chair.

Barty Crouch Jr.'s noodle-like body immediately slid down. At this time, the thick chains on both sides of the armrests of the chair began to shake.

Suddenly Barty Crouch Jr. was trapped in the chair.

The iron chains originally used to restrain the prisoners now became protection to prevent Barty Crouch Jr. from sliding off the chair.

Barty Crouch Jr. looked in terrible shape, and the magic-blocking golden spike completely destroyed his health.

His hair was like withered grass, and within a few days it was mixed with a lot of gray hair.

The terrifying energy of the magic-blocking golden nail made Barty Crouch Jr. become as skinny as a stick in just a few days.

His skin was sickly pale and clung tightly to his face, making him look unusually haggard.

Barty Crouch Jr. caused heated discussions among the wizards at the scene.

Everyone is curious about what happened to Barty Crouch Jr.

Fudge was also very curious. He had met Barty Crouch Jr. before.

At that time, Barty Crouch Jr. still had the energy to yell at Fudge, but he didn't expect that he would become like this now.

"Ethan, how did he do it?" Fudge asked Ethan nervously.

"Minister, I told you that I did some small tricks on him to limit his ability to move." Ethan explained to Fudge.

Fudge finally remembered that he had indeed heard Ethan say such words to him.

But Fudge never expected that Ethan's method of restricting Barty Crouch Jr.'s ability to move would be so cruel.

Fudge soon adjusted his mood, and then looked at Barty Crouch Jr. who was slumped in a chair.

"Now we will begin the trial of Azkaban prisoner Barty Crouch Jr.'s escape case." Fudge said seriously, taking off his glasses.

"The original prisoner, Barty Crouch Jr., kidnapped an Auror, Frank Longbottom, and used the Cruciatus Curse, one of the Unforgivable Curses, on him to interrogate him about the whereabouts of the mysterious man."

When he mentioned the mysterious man, Fudge couldn't help but shudder, but he controlled it very well and quickly hid it.

"In the trial for this crime, the prisoner was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, but the prisoner did not repent and actually escaped from the prison with the help of his parents!"

Speaking of this, Fudge's voice became stern.

"Now, we ask the jury to re-sentence. If you think like me that these crimes should be punished with the death penalty, please raise your hands," Fudge said loudly.

The sound of gasps came to mind in the trial hall. The Ministry of Magic had not issued such a serious sentence for a very long time.

So much so that the wizards at the Wizengamot Tribunal forgot to raise their hands for a moment.

"The jury can vote by show of hands." Fudge knocked the gavel and reminded again.

Finally, several wizards sitting in front raised their hands, but not many people raised their hands, and they were still sparse.

But not long after, a few more people raised their hands, and then more and more people raised their hands. Finally, more than half of the wizards raised their hands.

"Very good, the vote has passed. Prisoner Barty Crouch Jr. will be executed in three days!" Fudge continued to speak loudly, and banged the gavel a few more times.

Discussions began again in the courtroom, and many people were sighing. Everyone felt sad for the tragic ending of the father and son.

There are also many people discussing whether the death penalty is too severe. After all, the Ministry of Magic has not issued a death penalty for a long time.

From beginning to end, Barty Crouch Jr. slumped in his chair without making any movement.

Even when Fudge sentenced him to death, he couldn't make Barty Crouch Jr. have any emotional fluctuations.

If Barty Crouch Jr.'s chest wasn't still rising slightly due to his breathing, everyone would have thought he was dead.

The two wizards standing behind Barty Crouch Jr. quickly stepped forward, lifted Barty Crouch Jr. up again, and dragged him outside the courtroom.

It wasn't until Barty Crouch Jr. left the chair that many people discovered that the chair Barty Crouch Jr. had just sat on had a large pool of water stains.

Barty Crouch Jr. is incontinent again.

Seeing water stains, many people wrinkled their noses in dissatisfaction, as if they smelled something unpleasant.

The wizard who just now felt that sentencing Barty Crouch Jr. to death was too cruel has now changed his mind.

After all, this half-dead state is a torture more painful than death for Barty Crouch Jr.

"Okay! The trial is over! Everyone can leave!" Fudge announced loudly.

As soon as Fudge finished speaking, the wizards all stood up. They were talking, sorting out the documents in their hands, and after finishing sorting, they quickly left the courtroom.

The courtroom will soon become empty, and the name Crouch will soon disappear completely from everyone's sight.

Fudge sat in his seat in a daze. The trial of Barty Crouch and Barty Crouch Jr. did not bring him the pleasure he originally expected.

Instead, Fudge felt a little lost and empty. Fudge sat on the chair for a long time.

He finally stood up, and now he was the only one left in the entire trial hall. He looked at the chained chair for a while, and finally turned around and left the trial hall.
