Narcissa Malfoy Exonerated! The Boy-Who-Lived Delivers Stunning Testimony in Her Defense
Today, in riveting testimony, Harry Potter rebutted the prosecution’s primary arguments against Narcissa Malfoy, wife of Death Eater Lord Lucius Malfoy and mother of accused Death Eater Draco Malfoy. Potter’s testimony, corroborated by Rubeus Hagrid, turned the court’s opinion when he testified —
