On this day, the Lucius and his wife rushed to the Ministry of Magic early, crossed the gates and a magnificent hall, and finally took the elevator, all the way up to the tenth courtroom.
This is temporarily empty here.
The wall made of black stones exudes a cold and cold atmosphere. The torches hung on it flashed with a faint light, which only achieved the purpose of illuminating. As for the rest of the light, it seems Was absorbed by those dim stone walls.
On both sides of the room, there are rows of empty benches that gradually rise, which should be left for the jury.
In the very center of the room, there is a chair. The armrests of the chair are iron chains on the left and right. The effect is naturally binding. These chains will suddenly jump up and tie up the person sitting in the middle. Sturdy.
Lucius and Narcissa found a seat casually and sat down, waiting quietly. Narcissa looked around anxiously, her delicate face now looked very haggard, Lucius could not help but clenched tightly. His wife's hand comforted her.
He looked around here. More than ten years ago, he escaped his guilt here. In the past ten years, he has been invited to appear here many times—of course, as a jury. One member.
Next, the members of the jury successively entered through the concealed door. They were all dressed in fuchsia robes with a delicate silver "w" embroidered on their left chest. Most people have stern expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry, Lucius, it will be fine." A middle-aged man sneaked over, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him with words.
This is Pansy's father, Hector Parkinson.
"I hope so." Lucius's pale face forced a polite smile.
After that, the people of the jury were seated one after another.
The identity of Lucius here today is the accuser. He wanted to prove that Dumbledore framed his son during the Triwizard Tournament award ceremony and used his own Power arbitrarily misrepresents facts.
And Dumbledore, will appear in the plaintiff's box.
Lucius held his silver snakehead cane a little nervously, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.
He has spent a lot of thoughts so that today's lawsuit can be established.
Even if he knows that the odds of winning are almost slim.
The gloomy door was suddenly pushed open again, revealing a little light.
Dumbledore strode over calmly, wearing a black and blue robe with a very peaceful expression on his face,
Looking at the dock in front of him through half-moon glasses on the bridge of his nose, his long silver beard and hair gleamed in the light of the torch. .
The members of Wiesengamao were whispering to each other. All eyes were on Dumbledore. Some looked very annoyed, some seemed a little scared, and the two elderly witches sitting in the back row actually waved in welcome.
This is a very attractive old man, both in terms of temperament and objective appearance.
A few people followed the old man, most of whom were teachers at Hogwarts.
He walked to the defendant's chair in a graceful manner, then didn't sit down, but scanned the surroundings with blue eyes.
"The hearing has officially started!" A female voice like a toad rang out throughout the room, and many wizards present trembling a few times and got a lot of goose bumps.
"Interrogator: Dolores Jan Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Magic, Amelia Burns, Director of Magic Law Enforcement Division, Trial Recorder: Percy Igg Netius Weasley--" Percy buried her head, struggling to write quickly.
Mr. Crouch's downfall did not seem to have had a huge impact on his career, and he quickly emerged from the shadows.
"Plaintiff: Lucius Malfoy."
"Defendant: Albus-Percival-Wulfrick-Brian-Dumbledore!" The female toad-like voice sounded one after another, and then Umbridge suddenly coughed violently. sound.
"Sneeze." She sneezed heavily, then quickly took out a pink towel from her cuff and wiped her nose.
"Sorry, I caught a cold today. Come and read it." She said, and then passed the parchment in her hand to another lady aside.
This is a middle-aged woman, a witch with a wide body and a square chin, gray hair cut short, wearing a monocle, and a daunting expression on her face.
The director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department-Amelia Burns, a universal appraisal from the wizarding world, says she is a fair and honest person
"Cough cough." The middle-aged woman cleared her throat and asked in a non-emotional tone, "Mr. Dumbledore, can you sit down first?"
"Of course." Dumbledore nodded, then settled down in his chair.
The black chain on the table in front of him quivered only once and became submissive, as if the tremor just now was just an illusion.

Ms. Bones explained the main reason and content of the lawsuit in a loud voice.

Because according to Lucius’s testimony, he said that you were quite partial in the school, and for some The students in the college are very tolerant, but they are very mean to some other colleges."

"Okay, please let me explain in turn." Dumbledore helped his half-moon lens, slowly stood up from his seat, and nodded to the jury.
