It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all is what school is all about!Īnd how is theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there? Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. Well, what use is that? If we're gonna be attacked, it won't be risk-free. You'll be learning about defensive spells, in a secure risk-free way. Using spells? Why I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom. There's nothing in here about using defensive spells? But you will be pleased to know, from now on you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic. Your previous instruction for this subject has been disturbingly uneven. Those in favor of clearing the accused of all charges?

Laws can be changed if necessary, Dumbledore!Ĭlearly, it has become practice to hold a full criminal trial to deal with a simple matter of under-age magic. In the matter of Harry Potter, the law clearly states that magic may be used before Muggles in life-threatening situations.

The evidence the Dark Lord's return is incontrovertible. Of course, there is someone who might be behind the attack. That would be disturbing indeed, Madame Under-Secretary, which is why I'm sure the Ministry will be mounting a full-scale inquiry into why the two Dementors were so far away from Azkaban and why they mounted an attack without authorization. So silly of me but it sounded, for a moment, as though you were suggesting that the Ministry had ordered the attack on this boy. Dementors are after all under the control of the Ministry of Magic. I'm sure I must have misunderstood you, Professor. I don't think anyone would believe the Dementors were there by coincidence, Minister.Īhem. Now look here, Dementors don't just wander into a Muggle suburb and happen across a wizard, the odds are astronomical. Then everything went cold, as though all the happiness had gone from the world. Well one of them was very large, and the other rather skinny.Īlright, right, well um, big. Pardon me Minister, but as it happens we can.

Enough! I'm sorry to interrupt what I'm sure would have been a very well rehearsed story, but since you can produce no witnesses of the event. I'm not lying, there were two of them and if I hadn't. Muggles can't see Dementors, can they boy? Highly convenient.

I was only doing it because of the Dementors! And you were aware that you were forbidden to use magic outside school while under the age of seventeen? The charges against the accused are as follows that he did knowingly and in full awareness of the illegality of his actions, produced a Patronus charm in the presence of a Muggle. But by a happy mistake I arrived at the Ministry three hours early. You, you got our message that the time and place of the hearing had been changed, did you? Witness for the defense, Albus Percival Wulfric. If Voldemort's raising an army, then I want to fight. No! That's enough! He's just a boy! You tell him much more and you might as well induct him in the Order straight away. We believe Voldemort may be after something else. But gathering followers isn't the only thing he's interested in. He's been recruiting heavily and we've been attempting to do the same. Fourteen years ago he had huge numbers at his command, not only witches and wizards but all sorts of dark creatures. We think Voldemort wants to build up his army again. Now he's returned and I'm afraid the Minister will do almost anything to avoid facing that terrifying truth. The last time Voldemort gained power he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear. Now fear makes people do terrible things, Harry. No one in their right mind could believe that Dumbledore-Įxactly the point. The Minister thinks Dumbledore's after his job.īut that's insane. Fudge is using all his power, including his influence at the Daily Prophet, to smear anyone who claims the Dark Lord has returned. I don't understand, what's the Ministry of Magic got against me? It seems that your hearing at the Minstry is to be before the entire Wizengamot.
