Judgement

As Fudge saw Max standing behind Lucius, he was shocked to the core. He didn't know when or how Max got there.

Lucius saw Fudge who seemed to be shocked and noticed that Fudge was looking behind him, so he slowly turned to see Max there, which shocked even him.

Max who was standing there noticed that they found him said with a smile, "So, you guys are already planning to fuck this up, huh?"

Lucius who heard this got angry and held his wand and said, "Boy, you made a mistake by coming here. But you saved us the trouble of looking for you."

Max looked at Lucius' wand and waved his hand which destroyed the wand and then he said, "Well, I'll just get straight to the point. One of you will die here, so why don't you guys pick which one. And don't try to escape, I've already sealed the area. Oh, Minister Fudge, if you think you can do better magic and attack me, then I'll kill you first and walk away."

Hearing this Fudge was a bit scared. Even when he was in his prime, he wasn't as good as Lucius and now seeing how Lucius got his wand destroyed easily, he knew that this kid was a tough, but he still had good pride as a minister so he said, "Look here, boy. You don't know what you're doing. Do you think that you can just walk around killing people? Especially important people like us. So just surrender yourself."

Lucius who was the smart one knew that Max wasn't going to budge for this, so he decided to do the smart thing, "I think, I'll take up on your offer. If you're to kill Fudge, then I'll help you put some in the Minister's position that'll be in your favor, and by my guess Fudge didn't inform anyone that he's coming here, so it'll be the best if we're to finish him off."

Hearing this Fudge was taken aback. He didn't expect Lucius to say something like this, but thinking about the situation they're in, it seems feasible that Lucius would say this so also decided to do something about it, "Argent, you should know that Lucius is cunning. You could never trust him. If I were to die here, he might use it as a leverage against you in the future. You never know what men like him are capable of. And you being here with no alibi might make you a suspect. So think about it."

Max said in a calm manner, "Well, you don't have to worry about my alibi. My clone is having tea with Ms. Bones in the watchful eyes of pubic."

Hearing this both of them were shocked. But Max knew that Fudge was right. Lucius is a cunning fellow. If he were to threaten him, then he could easily kill Lucius, but he wasn't foolish enough to leave a ticking time bomb.

So before they could react, Max charged a ki-ball an pressed it into Lucius.

Lucius who was about to do wandless magic was totally disintegrated by the ki-ball. Fudge who saw this was shivering. He has never seen such a terrifying magic in his life.

Fudge being a Minister of Magic had seen some dark and twisted spells in his time, but this was the first time seeing something like this. Then he saw Max looking at him an charging another ki-ball, so he said in a hurried manner, "Mr. Argent, I swear to you, I'm not going to speak about this situation to anyone. You and me, both of us were never here. You have nothing to worry from me. So you don't have to kill me. I'll free Sirius and put Pettigrew in prison. We'll have a cooperative relationship in the future."

**Max's point of view**

'Seesh. What a coward. I didn't expect him to be this much of a pussy.' I slowly diffused the ki-ball and told him, "Minister Fudge, I don't plan to kill you, you know? You being the Minister of Magic will benefit me a lot. So see ya soon."

After that I teleported from there to Hogwarts. I will keep him alive for now, but when I'm about to leave this world I think I should finish him off. Rats like him are disgusting to even look at.

Then I soon found Harry who was talking with Lupin. Well, he could be telling Harry about Sirius. let me check. I should train him more, since I can't stick around with him forever.

**Universal point of view**

Harry and Lupin saw Max coming towards them. Lupin stood up and asked, "Thank you, Professor Argent. I mean, I would've forever believed my friend Sirius to be a traitor of it weren't for you."

Max smiled at him and said, "No need to mention that, Professor. I did what's right." He then turned to Harry and said, "So Harry, wanna learn a new spell?"

Harry who wanted to talk to Max from the time of the incident finally for the chance to talk to he nodded heavily and said, "Yes, professor."

After that they both left Lupin standing there and went to practice.

Fudge who just came to Ministry was having the worst day of his life. He couldn't believe that Lucius had died that easily. And he was even more frightened thinking about Max. And now he has to announce in front of all the newspapers that Sirius was innocent and make a public apology to him. This day couldn't get any shittier than this for him.

He looked at the reports who were straining around the ministry and called them.

Rita who was standing in front asked, "Minister Fudge, who do you say to Peter Pettigrew's confession and Sirius being innocent?"

Fudge looked at her and said, "I can only say that we all made a huge mistake 13 years ago. Given the circumstances we had at that time, we didn't have time to look through it and I apologise for that."

Another reporter asked, "So are you saying that Sirius Black is innocent?"

Fudge nodded and said, "Even though I'm sad that he had to suffer in prison for all these years, I'm still happy that the truth can be finally revealed. And, yes, Sirius Black is innocent. It's due to our carelessness that he was in prison and this time."

Rita then asked, "So what do you intend to do for Sirius Black? He suffered all these years in prison, so you must be willing to compensate him, right?"

Fudge sweated bullets hearing this. He knew if he were to continue answering their questions like this, he would be saying goodbye to his career as a Minister, so he said, "Well, we are currently discussing that in the Ministry. So if you'll excuse me,I have to be there."

After saying this he walked inside ignoring all of their questions.
