8.The Hearing（320）

Chapter 8: The Hearing

Harry's hearing takes place in the intimidating courtroom ten, where serious cases are tried. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, leads the prosecution, while Dumbledore arrives to defend Harry. The trial is contentious, with Fudge attempting to discredit Harry and downplay the Dementor attack. Harry's nerves are on edge as he tries to explain his actions. Dumbledore presents a calm and compelling defense, arguing that Harry acted in self-defense and revealing that the Dementors' presence was unauthorized. Witnesses, including Mrs. Figg, testify on Harry's behalf. Despite Fudge’s attempts to manipulate the proceedings, the evidence in Harry’s favor is overwhelming. Harry is ultimately cleared of all charges, but the experience leaves him shaken and more aware of the Ministry’s hostility toward him and Dumbledore. The chapter ends with Harry feeling a mix of relief and anger, knowing that the road ahead will be fraught with challenges.
