The people around him were whispering to each other in low voices, and the whispers were mixed with the cold invasion of the black stone walls. Jordan Lee shivered while sitting on the chair, and looked around in fear.
Unfortunately, when he sat here and looked at it, everything became dark. He could only vaguely see some wizards wearing purple wizard robes sitting on a high platform.
Feeling the gazes that were either scrutinizing, disgusting or indifferent, Jordan Lee felt his stomach twitching along with him, sending out waves of nauseating tingling sensations.
He felt an ominous silence envelope him, not knowing whether he should face punishment, imprisonment, or death next.
The iron chain on the armrest seemed to be a living thing. It swayed and jingled as he trembled convulsively.
At this moment, a hand gently patted his shoulder.
Jordan Lee looked up and saw that it was Anthony Weasley, the younger brother of George and Fred. Because Anthony didn't seem to be that interested in the Quidditch game, there wasn't much interaction between them.
Anthony just smiled slightly, as if to say - relax.
Oh~
Merlin's beard!
Jordan Lee was sure that he heard this sentence. Although it was incredible, Anton was speaking in his heart like this!
He once listened to George and Fred discussing in the dormitory that Anton had developed a chat tool that used the spells and counter-spells of Legilimency. The two brothers planned to learn this method so that they could be more convenient in class.
time to chat.
It turns out to be true!
Moreover, he also felt a ray of hazy sunshine, which enveloped him warmly in this dark and cold interrogation room. For just a moment, Jordan Lee couldn't help but become quiet.
Dumbledore sat silently in the middle of the trial seat, slowly raised his head, and looked at Anton through the half-moon-shaped glasses with a very strange and relaxed mood, and smiled slightly, "Maybe,
Director Weasley, can you share your thoughts first?"
Anton raised his eyebrows, walked briskly to the high platform on the front right under everyone's gaze, leaned on the high platform on tiptoes, looked at the parchment in the hands of the trial recorder, and then whistled.
"...accused of breaches of the Muggle Protection Act, the Reasonable Restraint of Minors and the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy..."
"... turned into a werewolf and destroyed the load-bearing pillars of the building, causing the building to collapse and injuring hundreds of people. Five people were in danger of life (already rescued)..."
"Oh haha~"
"There are quite a few."
When Anton saw the trial recorder glare at him, he retracted the parchment in his hand. He couldn't help but squinted his eyes and stared at him closely, "What? I can't read it?"
When a trial is held in the Wizengamot Administration of the Ministry of Magic, the person who serves as the trial recorder is usually a person with a small background (such as Percy), who is a kind of mixed seniority.
The trial recorder was a young man with blond hair and freckles. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, his hair was neatly styled, and his face had the arrogance of a successful teenager.
He was about to say something when he suddenly saw Anton's eyes staring at him. He felt as if he heard the roar of a werewolf in his ears, and a pair of green animal eyes stared at him hungrily.
"Ah~" He screamed, took a step back in a panic, and hit the steps behind him.
"Director Weasley, don't scare him." On the high platform, a middle-aged witch wearing a purple wizard robe of a member of the Wizengamot laughed, his monocle was full of ridicule, "Peter Lawrence is
The deputy director of your office is responsible for clerical work."
"Really?" Anton raised his eyebrows and sneered, "He just scolded me from the bottom of his heart. I don't want this kind of person. Don't come to my office in the future."
With that said, he walked leisurely back to the place next to Jordan Lee, looked up at the middle-aged witch with a monocle, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Amelia Susan Bohnsch."
"Susan Bonesch?" Anton was stunned for a moment, "I have a classmate with the same name, from Hufflepuff College."
Ms. Bonsch smiled slightly and said, "Yes, mine is her aunt."
Look, not all the descendants of pure-blood families have gone to Slytherin. Anton finally remembered who this lady was. In the original book, Harry Potter was killed for casting the Patronus Charm to protect Dudley.
Arrested to the Ministry of Magic for trial, this woman was extremely amazed at Harry's talent as a 'physical patronus'.
At that time, Ms. Bonesch was already the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Although the director of this department was a fictitious position, we can still see this woman's potential status in the Ministry of Magic.
"It's not a good idea to fire your deputy director at this time," Ms. Bornsch said with a smile.
"Hmm~" Anton thought for a moment and nodded, "Thank you for your suggestion. In this case, I will wait until this trial is over before I consider formally submitting to Minister of Magic Fudge to remove my deputy director."
Anton narrowed his eyes. He didn't dare to ask for help from the forces behind him, instead of his own deputy.
"I think I have the final say when it comes to my office."
"I think I also have some authority regarding Animagus."
Anton walked slowly beside Jordan Lee with his hands behind his back, "The Muggle Protection Act against Jordan Lee's accusation is not valid."
"After he turned into a werewolf, he stayed in his own home. The other party in the conflict, a Muggle, had a gun, which was self-protection. I think this issue was mentioned in the previous cases on the "Wizards' Self-Protection Ordinance"
.”
"At the same time, he did not attack the Muggle with the gun, but attacked the pillar next to the Muggle, which caused the building to collapse. This is considered 'self-protection', and he can be required to pay for the damage caused as a result of 'self-protection'
He will be compensated for the treatment, but he cannot be held responsible for the matter."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In this regard, I think you can refer to "The Case of Ayooke Crouch's Oblivion Curse". Ministry of Magic personnel used the Oblivion Curse on Muggles, resulting in
He was in a daze and got into a car accident. This is actually a similar case."
"Jordan Lee was attacking the pillars of the building, not the Muggles. That's the most important issue."
"What do you think?"
Anton looked up with a smile.
Someone at the seat whistled and laughed, "Anton, have you memorized all the laws and precedents of the Ministry of Magic?"
It's Ronaldo, the director of the Department of Magical Transportation.
Anton smiled, no wonder he called himself Anton, it turned out to be his teacher, so he waved, "Thank you for your teaching."
Seeing the courtroom gradually becoming chaotic, Dumbledore picked up the gavel and knocked lightly, "Order~Order~O~~~rder (quiet)."
After everyone calmed down, a middle-aged wizard with a short beard and sparse hair in the trial looked at Anton. It was Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, "I don't approve of Director Weasley.
From the point of view, the Forgetting Curse is commonly used in the wizarding world to protect the "Law of Secrecy", which has its own special characteristics. Mr. George Lee's unauthorized use of Animagus to attack Muggles, even if it is for self-protection, should be punished
, to warn against the possibility of using Animagus to break the law in the future."
"In the past, Animagus were all animals, and most of them could not cause much harm, nor would they involve the maintenance of the "Secrecy Act." But now that there are Animagus in the form of magical animals, this is the most important thing
question."
The eyes of the wizards at the table all lit up, and they shouted, "Come on, come on." It seems that the conflict about the "Muggle Squibs" will start with the Animagus, and it will start with Anthony Weasley.
It started with the proposer and the director of the relevant department.
Some wizards even secretly rejoiced that when people still didn't know how this muddy water was going to drag Anthony Weasley into the water, he actually waded in by himself.
When something is tainted with politics, it becomes extremely scary. This is also what worries Professor McGonagall.
She stared at the silent Dumbledore on the trial stage and sighed secretly. As a principal, Dumbledore would of course protect his students, but as a politician, what would Dumbledore do? She
Dumbledore has known this since he was still a professor.
She was originally going to risk everything and use her vice-principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a guarantee to protect the child Jordan Lee.
But now, as she stared at Anton, who was still smiling, she couldn't help but feel some hope in her heart.
She never regarded Anton as an ordinary little wizard.
