Harry Potter and the Master of Magic Chapter 51: Hearings
On the morning of January 28th, a hearing on the illegal use of magic by two Hogwarts students outside the school was held in the Judgment Hall on the 10th floor of the Ministry of Magic.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Qiu followed Zhuang Mingge and took the passenger elevator to the tenth floor underground.
Zhuang Mingge was talking about some precautions along the way. He was afraid that the two children would be ignorant and say the wrong thing.
"All members of Wizengamo will participate in this hearing. You will be smarter then." Zhuang Mingge said in a low voice, "This is in someone else's territory after all. Although I communicated with them in advance, but Wizenga Moss is not a monolithic one, and it is inevitable that no one will make things difficult for you. If that happens, you can only rely on yourself."
Wiesengamao is the highest court of the British wizarding world, composed of about fifty members, and its chief officer is called the Chief Mage of Wiesengamao.
This year's Chief Mage of Wisengama happened to be Dumbledore, and almost everyone knew about it.
Because of this, Wisengamao is also the most authoritative wizarding court in the world.
After all, no matter how strict the law is, it requires strong enforcement to take effect.
And Dumbledore, happens to be the most powerful wizard of our time.
Zhang Qiu was nervous at first, and when he heard that he was going to be judged by the entire Wiesengamao, he was immediately scared to death.
She held Zhang Hao's arm, as hard as she could.
"I said, cousin, can you take it easy?" Zhang Hao said bitterly, "I guess your arms are swollen by you!"
"Uh! Are you not nervous at all?" Zhang Qiu widened his eyes and said, "That's Wissengamer, Dumbledore will also participate in the trial? We will see many big people, Mr. Zhuang said it might be. Someone makes things difficult for us. What can we do?"
"Don't worry, just leave everything to Mr. Zhang." Zhuang Mingge said relaxedly: "Miss Zhang, you didn't use magic on the plane. You are not responsible for this matter. I guess they You will use the flashback spell on your wand, and nothing else will have to do with you."
Zhang Qiu nodded, but the application remained the same.
It seems that she didn't hear much about Zhuang Mingge's words. Maybe she can relax completely only if this incident passes.
"Those big guys are so boring!" Zhang Hao said boringly: "I just put on an oblivion spell, and I want to use the whole Wesengama? Isn't this too a fuss?"
"This is also human nature. After all, the British wizarding world is so big, and they may handle many cases in a year." Zhuang Mingge also wanted to laugh, he said with relief: "Just accompany them to solve their boredom!"
After the three people arrived on the tenth floor, they were immediately taken to a waiting room.
Zhuang Mingge was asked to leave, leaving only Zhang Hao and Zhang Qiu in the waiting room.
After a while, another wizard in a fuchsia robe walked into the waiting room. He solemnly said to Zhang Qiu: "Are you Miss Zhang Qiu? Start with you first, please follow me." /
Zhang Qiu gave Zhang Hao a pitifully, but finally followed the wizard helplessly.
Zhang Hao watched Zhang Qiu leave, and then comfortably took out the collection of stories about Poetry Weng and Pidou to read.
When he finished reading "The Story of Three Brothers," Zhang Qiu happened to come out of the trial hall.
"Cousin, it's you!" Zhang Qiu clearly had a smile on her face, she said relaxedly: "Those big people are very kind, not scary at all! However, some of the jurors' questions are very annoying, you You may also encounter it!"
"Really?" Zhang Hao nodded and said with a smile: "I will meet them, you stay here."
In the trial hall, the jurors are sitting on the seats one floor higher than the other floor, and a sign with their name and identity is placed in front of everyone.
Zhang Hao glanced around and saw several familiar faces.
Albus Dumbledore, Cornelius Fudge, Dolores Jan Umbridge, Amelia Susan Burns...
Zhang Hao has already known many Wisengama members through books or newspapers.
They are all wearing fuchsia robes, with a delicate silver W embroidered on their left chest.
Everyone looked at Zhang Hao, their eyes seemed to shine on his soul.
Many people are talking in low voices. They seem to be a little unsuccessful, because the topic they talked about has nothing to do with this hearing.
Dumbledore sitting in the trial seat picked up a small wooden hammer and hammered it three times.
"Quiet!" After everyone stopped talking, he announced the beginning of the hearing: "The disciplinary hearing on January 28th, the suspect Zhang Hao used Muggles on the plane to China. Magic. Questioner: Albus Dumbledore."
"The defendant will face the following charges. He used the Forgetting Curse on several Muggles on the premise that he is sober and aware of the illegal behavior. How does the defendant explain this?"
Dumbledore finished speaking and looked at Zhang Hao blankly~IndoMTL.com~ Of course, Mr. Dumbledore, please listen to my explanation. "Zhang Hao was as expressionless, he described the whole process of the hijacking indifferently, and finally asked, "I would like to ask Mr. Dumbledore, if the wizard's life is threatened, is it a crime to use magic against a vicious Muggle?" ? "
"The International Secrecy Act stipulates that any wizard who is threatened by Muggles has the right to use magic to fight back." Dumbledore nodded and asked again, "But the question is, how can you Prove that you are threatened by Muggles?"
"This is probably not a problem, sir." Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Those robbers killed a passenger with a gun on the plane. If I can't stop them, they may kill more people. Among them , Probably including me. The wizards who can testify for this matter include my cousin Zhang Qiu, and some other exhibits. I think the court should already know about these, right?"
"Of course!" Dumbledore nodded and said after scanning the audience: "Then, who has any questions about this case?"
"Oh! I guess he was trying to satisfy his vanity and release magic in front of Muggles." A fat witch said in a sweet and disgusting voice: "How do you prove yourself Isn’t it the illegal use of magic for this purpose?"
Zhang Hao glanced at the witch and said calmly: "Then Ms. Umbridge, how do you prove that I release magic for this purpose?"
"Of course, of course I can prove it." Umbridge smirked, "As long as you use sensationalism on you, you can show your true shape. If you are not satisfied with this method, I think we can still use it. Veritaserum."
"Umbridge! We have no right to do this. If we want to convict someone, we must show objective evidence."
