On August 7th, through the Ministry of Magic, Lucius applied for a re-ruling of the incident of his son Draco at Hogwarts. Dumbledore will be there and the witness, Old Crouch, Mad Eye Moody et al.

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 empty for the time being.

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 seemed to be dim. The stone wall absorbed the general.

On both sides of the room, there are rows of empty benches that gradually rise, which should be left for the jury.

In the middle 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 bind the person sitting in the middle firmly. .

Lucius and Narcissa randomly found a seat and sat down and waited quietly. Narcissa looked around anxiously. Now that delicate face looked extremely haggard, Lucius couldn't help but squeeze his wife's tightly. Hand comforting her.

He looked around here, more than ten years ago, he had escaped his guilt here, and in the past ten years, he was invited to appear here many times-of course, as a member of the jury.

Next, the members of the jury entered one after another from the concealed door. They were all dressed in fuchsia robes with a delicate silver "w" embroidered on their left chest. Most of them There was a stern expression on his face.

"Don't worry, Lucius, it will be fine." A middle-aged man sneaked over, patted his shoulder, and comforted him with words.

This is Pansy's father, Hector Parkinson.

"I hope so." Lucius' pale face forced a polite smile.

After that, the jury members 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 Triwizard Award ceremony and used his power to sing wantonly. fact.

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 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 the half-moon glasses on the bridge of his nose, his long silver beard and hair gleamed in the light of torches..

The members of Wisengamao 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 charming old man, both in terms of temperament and objective appearance.

Several people followed the old man, most of whom were teachers at Hogwarts.

He walked to the defendant chair in a shining manner, and then did not sit down, but scanned the surroundings with blue eyes.

"The hearing has officially begun!" A toad-like female voice rang out throughout the room. Many wizards trembled a few times and got a lot of goose bumps.

"Interrogator: Dolores-Jane-Umbridge, temporary acting minister of the Ministry of Magic, Amelia Bones, director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, trial recorder: Percy Ignatius -Weasley--" Percy buried her head, struggling to write.

Mr. Crouch's downfall did not seem to have had any 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.

"Sneezes." She sneezed heavily, then quickly took out a pink towel from her sleeve 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 woman 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 Bones, a universal appraisal from the wizarding world, says she is a fair and honest person

"Ahem." 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 trembled only once, and it became submissive, as if the tremor just now was just an illusion.

"Not long ago, the Ministry of Magic received a complaint clarifying the plaintiff’s demands. The plaintiff Lucius Malfoy believed that the current principal of Hogwarts-Albus Percival Woolfrick- Brian Dumbledore acted arbitrarily and framed his son Draco Malfoy, causing his emotions to be stimulated, and eventually rebelling out of school, which caused a very bad influence on himself and others. Now Draco Malfoy Dumbledore was still at the stage of fleeing outside, life and death uncertain, Dumbledore should bear great responsibility, and carried out proof, and proposed that the defendant may have used illegal potions in violation of regulations, and tried the fugitive privately without the approval of the Ministry of Magic—— Little Batty, Crouch."

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

"Then, may I ask the defendant, is the statement made by the plaintiff true? Dumbledore, are you using public power for private purposes? Because according to Lucius’ testimony, he said that you appear to be quite partial in the school, and to some college students Very tolerant, but very mean to other colleges."

"Furthermore, according to the evidence presented by the plaintiff, you have had private grievances. This may also be a way for you to exclude them." Bones continued.

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