Cade knew exactly what Zacharias meant about the Ministry's brand of justice, but he merely shrugged. "It's better now than it used to be. At least you're being released instead of held indefinitely." It was the something public would likely have preferred in this case - it was the beloved Harry Potter who had died after all - but the ministry had actually learned to do a few things right over the years.
Zacharias's question didn't exactly surprise Cade, but he hadn't been expecting it either, so he took just a moment to answer. "No. I simply don't think you're that stupid. At least in this case." It was the honest truth, unvarnished.
