Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Even though reason and reality told her this was just a cutscene, her emotions still made her choose to do so.

Maybe she should really let Hermione sit in and look at her, so that she can at least take comfort from her.

"The defendant has the following charges: repeatedly using the unforgivable curse to cause fatal harm to others, attacking the Ministry of Magic and intimidating others to obey, serving as the director of the Muggle-born registration committee..." Kingsley's loud voice echoed in the courtroom, these As long as one of the charges is convicted, Azkaban will be sentenced to life imprisonment.

"Do you admit to all of these crimes? Are there areas that you haven't done or have questions about?"

"I admit it." Zoe nodded. "These are indeed things I have done."

"Very well, then we will start to vote by show of hands-this is the way it should be." Kingsley closed the file. "But ladies and gentlemen of Wiesengamau, we can follow this process for anyone, but we can't. She did this, because under the surface of these facts, there is a deeper truth hidden, and that is the correct comment on the defendant."

"I think you know more or less what this so-called trial means today. Whether it is hearsay or personal experience, you must already know what kind of courage and consciousness the lady standing in front of you bears. Only in order to save more lives will be plunged into darkness, even at the expense of being misunderstood, hurt and hated by the world.

"Someone might say that when others are forced to escape for survival and are overwhelmed by the inability to see the future, this person can enjoy a sumptuous dinner, a comfortable and soft bed, and the awe of others. , Because she is one of them, then she should be guilty... I just want to say that this person is just fighting bravely on his own battlefield, just like any other person who resists Voldemort’s regime. I bet on my own life. According to the collected evidence, we already have enough intelligence to show that without her help, more innocent people will die—a fact."

"She also protected my child during the decisive battle at Hogwarts!" someone said loudly, "I want to say that we should apply for a Merlin first class medal!"

"The Ministry of Magic did have this intention, but the person concerned refused. "I just used some unsatisfactory heritage. I was rewarded for this reason. There is nothing to be proud of." I got this reply in the letter." Kingsley smiled, "But as we all know, Sir Merlin is not affiliated with the Ministry of Magic, even if we maintain a good relationship. The Ministry of Magic does not have the power to decide what the Jazz Group will do."

"Why didn't they ask you to be Minister of Magic earlier?" Zoe asked sarcastically.

"A gem shines everywhere, doesn't it?" He responded with laughter from many people.

"Close to the subject, before we formally show of hands to vote, I want to talk about something that happened yesterday."

After everyone focused on himself, Kingsley continued: "I was about to go home from get off work when Arthur knocked on the door of the office suddenly and he handed me a long roll of parchment. , Told me it was very important. I thought it was an urgent case, so I opened it and found it was a list."

He held a thick-looking parchment paper over his head for everyone to see."Next, I will read the names above. You may hear the names of some familiar people, but more of them are strangers. Some of them should already be... Percy, can you please bring them. Come in?"

Percy stood up and walked quickly towards the door of the courtroom.Until his back disappeared behind the black iron gate.Zoe only felt confused. Kingsley would not joke about trivial things in this situation, but she had no impression of what he was holding.

She looked at the door, and it was quickly pushed open again.The lawless Weasley brothers seemed to never learn to be in awe, even though they were standing in court, the excitement and exaggeration of the two attracted the attention of the Wisengamo members present, and the corners of Zoe’s mouth twitched. After seeing these two people, anxiety has swollen to an unprecedented level.

They actually stretched their thumbs towards her.But Zoe immediately realized that this was not the end. More people rushed into this narrow room, and the chaotic footsteps shattered the cold breath spreading in the courtroom.They looked around curiously and carefully looked at the judges on the steps, and thought they were concealed.

"What are you doing?!" Zoe lowered her voice and yelled at the dazed Luna. She came in like a ghost without a sense of existence. Luna seemed determined to pretend not to hear. , Ignoring her question.

Zoe opened her eyes wide, and she saw many Hogwarts students (whether graduated or not), some officials who worked in the Ministry of Magic (she almost knew them).She actually saw Dumbledore who should be resting!The old man leaned quietly on the recliner, and Madam Pomfrey smiled and used her magic wand to steer the chair floating forward. The two of them noticed her gaze and smiled at her.

"I need an explanation." Zoe held his forehead.Hermione was the last to come in, and Zoe looked at her annoyedly, "They look like a tour group going out for sightseeing! You actually teamed up to see my joke?"

"This is not a joke, Zoe." Hermione said hastily. "I didn't want to hide it from you either. I didn't know it much before Kingsley."

"Then you can tell me this morning!" Zoe finally connected Hermione's weird attitude to the incident. "Well, now tell me, what do you want to do?"

"In fact, this is a list of guarantors." Kingsley explained, "Each name above represents a valid signature. They are bound by magic and contracts. Only the autographs of the parties have an effect. This It means that fraud is almost impossible unless anyone can use the Imperius Curse on hundreds of witnesses."

"When we made the list of trials public to the public, my office was filled with yelling letters from protesters for a week, and I had to answer the same question repeatedly. After learning that the protest was invalid, your supporters Together, they will testify for you and prove your innocence. This is the final result." He shook the parchment scroll in his hand.

"But the trial is not real!" Zoe frowned, and she suddenly didn't know where to look.

"Yes, but not everyone thinks that way, even if it is only one in ten thousand possible." Kingsley said, he opened the scroll.

"Daisy Longbottom."

Zoe’s surprised gaze seemed to anger Daisy once again. In Zoe’s impression, the atmosphere between her and Daisy has not been friendly since the first meeting. Daisy hates her. Cognition has become a habit instead.

Daisy glared at her fiercely, raised her wand, and the light from the tip of the wand illuminated her profile.

"Cola Gibson."

"Yes, yes!" The little girl's nervous vibrato was exchanged for a kind laugh. Cora's face flushed. She is not usually an introvert and shy girl. She followed Daisy's steps, but almost touched her wand. Lost.

"Luna Lovegood."

"What kind of ritual is this?" Luna tilted her head, but she still took out her wand and lit the tip of her wand.

"Anthony Goldstein."

As the names were read from Kingsley's mouth, the wands were lifted up, and the tiny lights gathered together, dim and dazzling, like a vast star curtain.

After Neville raised his wand (Daisy went to find him last)."Albus Dumbledore."

Dumbledore raised his wand, but no light was lit."It's a pity," he said regretfully.

"Professor Dumbledore, we prepared this for you." Fred squeezed his eyes. He held up his wand and took another one from his arms. He shook the wand and it began to glow.

Dumbledore took the wand happily and stared at it interestingly.

"This is a trial product for Weasley's trick. We improved the fake wand and tried to store a small one-time spell in the wand. It is convenient to conceal, and requires a little skill when using it, but there is no need to worry about being discovered when chanting a spell during a prank. And throw it away when you use it up, no one will find that you made that person's hair grow wild." Fred said proudly.

"Or become a pretending gorilla-of course, they still have some minor problems, such as the explosion of the wand caused by improper use... Don't worry, it has only appeared three times out of the ten. We will continue to improve it and make it practical as soon as possible. Those who are interested, please move to the Weasley Prank and Magic Prop Shop, which is in Diagon Alley—oh!" George's head was knocked on the head by Mrs. Weasley. "Mom! We're talking about business." Yeah!" Then he was knocked again.

But Dumbledore was obviously satisfied, and he observed the wand with novelty like a child.

Kingsley continued the interrupted reading: "Aberforth Dumbledore."

Aberforth looked unhappy that his name was pronounced behind his brother, he snorted softly and raised the wand in his hand.He and Zoe met, although the girl quickly looked away, as if she didn't dare to look at him.

"Severus Snape."

There is no new light this time.As one of the people waiting for trial, Snape is naturally impossible to be present. On this point, Draco is the same. He will be tried with the Malfoys.

"Rufus Scrimgeour."

Scrimgeour, who was pronounced his name, looked downcast and looked upset.He must have thought it was stupid to do this, but in the end he slowly raised his wand.

"Emily Feller and Bob Feller."

We all support you.The witch and wizard with fingers clasped nodded to her.

"Hermione Granger."

Miss Know-it-all seemed to have crossed everything in the world and came to Zoe, gently holding her hand.

"Kingsley Shacklebolt." When he finished speaking, he rolled up the parchment again and placed it solemnly on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us now begin the formal voting-those who approve of the innocence of the defendant Zoe Siegel, please raise their hands." Waiting for a moment, he said loudly, "Agree to the defendant Zoe Siegel Please raise your hands if you are guilty."

Finally he applauded: "This is the most disparate judgment I have seen since I took office. It's like a miracle-unanimously passed. Zoe Siegel was not guilty!" Ruei's applause sounded, and the stars They also danced together, and drew a shining trace in the air, like a silent blessing.

"...I must look bad now." Zoe's voice choked, and the world became blurred. "It's too shameful, I don't want to stay here anymore."

"You can't escape."

Hermione let her bury her face in her chest and patted her on the back.

"Unless you bring me with you, how about it?"
