On the morning of January 28, a hearing on the illegal use of magic outside of school by two Hogwarts students was held in the Judgment Hall on the tenth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qiu followed Zhuang Mingge and took the passenger elevator to the tenth underground floor.

On the way, Zhuang Mingge was talking about some precautions. He was afraid that the two children were ignorant and said the wrong thing.

"All members of Wizengamot will participate in this hearing, you should be smart then." Zhuang Mingge whispered: "After all, this is in someone else's territory, although I communicated with them in advance, but Wizengamot is not a monolith. , it is inevitable that no one will make things difficult for you. If that happens, you can only rely on yourself."

The Wizengamore is the highest court of wizards in the United Kingdom. It consists of about fifty members, and its highest officer is called the Chief Mage of Wizengamore.

Dumbledore happens to be the chief mage of Wizengamore this year, and almost everyone knows about it.

Because of this, Wizengamore is also the most authoritative wizarding court in the world.

After all, no matter how strict the law is, it needs strong force to be enforced to take effect.

And Dumbledore happens to be the most powerful wizard of our time.

Zhang Qiu was already very nervous, and when he heard that he was about to be judged by the entire Wizengamo, he was so frightened that he was completely helpless.

She grabbed Zhang Hao's arm as hard as she wanted.

"I said cousin, can you be gentle?" Zhang Hao said with a bitter face: "I guess your arm is swollen from your pinch!"

"Uh! Aren't you nervous at all?" Zhang Qiu said with wide eyes: "That's Wizengamot. Dumbledore will also participate in the trial, right? We will meet many big people. Mr. Zhuang said that some people might make things difficult for us. . How can this be done?"

"Don't worry, you can leave everything to Mr. Zhang." Zhuang Mingge said easily: "Miss Zhang, you didn't use magic on the plane, the responsibility for this is not yours. I guess they will treat you 's wand uses the Pre-Flashback Charm, and nothing else has anything to do with you."

Zhang Qiu nodded, but the application still didn't change much.

It seems that she didn't listen to Zhuang Mingge's words at all, maybe she can only relax completely after this incident.

"Those big guys are so boring!" Zhang Hao said boringly: "I just put an oblivion spell, and I have to use the entire Wizengamo? Is this too much of a fuss?"

"This is also human nature. After all, the British wizarding world is so big, and they may handle many cases a year." Zhuang Mingge also wanted to laugh a little, and he relieved: "Just accompany them to relieve their boredom!"

After the three arrived on the tenth floor, they were immediately taken to a waiting room.

Zhuang Mingge was then asked to leave, leaving only Zhang Hao and Zhang Qiu in the waiting room.

After a while, another wizard in a purple robe walked into the waiting room. He said to Zhang Qiu seriously, "Are you Miss Zhang Qiu? Start with you, please come with me."

Zhang Qiu gave Zhang Hao a pitiful look, and finally followed the wizard helplessly.

Zhang Hao watched Zhang Qiu leave, and then comfortably took out the story collection of the poet Bedou to read.

When he finished reading "The Story of Three Brothers", Zhang Qiu happened to come out of the courtroom.

"Cousin, it's your turn!" Zhang Qiu said with a clear smile on her face, she said lightly: "Those big men are very kind, they are not scary at all! However, some of the questions asked by jurors are very annoying, and you may also meet!"

"Really?" Zhang Hao nodded and said with a smile, "I'll go meet them, don't move here."

In the trial hall, the jurors were seated one floor higher than the other, and in front of each of them was a sign with their name and identity.

Zhang Hao glanced and saw several familiar faces.

Albus Dumbledore, Cornelius Fudge, Dolores Jane Umbridge, Amelia Susan Burns...

Zhang Hao, through books or newspapers,

I have already known many Wizengamore members.

They were all dressed in fuchsia robes with a delicate silver W embroidered on their left chest.

Everyone looked at Zhang Hao, and their eyes seemed to shine on his soul.

A lot of people are talking in low voices, and they seem to be doing their jobs because they are talking about topics that have nothing to do with this hearing.

Dumbledore, who was sitting on the judgment seat, picked up a small wooden hammer and knocked it hard three times.

"Quiet!" After everyone stopped talking, he announced the start of the hearing: "In the disciplinary hearing on January 28, the suspect Zhang Hao used magic on Muggles on the plane to Huaxia. By: Albus Dumbledore."

"The defendant will face charges that he used the Oblivion Charm on several Muggles while sober and aware of the violation. How does the defendant explain this?"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Hao expressionlessly.

"Of course, Mr. Dumbledore, please listen to my explanation." Zhang Hao was equally expressionless, he indifferently described the whole process of the hijacking incident, and finally asked back: "I would like to ask Mr. Dumbledore, when the wizard's life is threatened. Under these circumstances, is it a crime to use magic against a vicious Muggle?"

"The International Statute of Secrecy stipulates that any wizard who is threatened by a Muggle has the right to use magic to fight back." Dumbledore nodded, then spread his hands and asked: "But the question is, how can you prove that you have been subjected to Muggle threat?"

"I'm afraid this is not a problem, sir." Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Those robbers killed a passenger with a firearm on the plane. If I can't stop them, they may kill more people. Among them, it is very likely that Including me. The wizards who can testify for this are my cousin Zhang Qiu, and some other evidence. I think the court should already know about this, right?"

"Of course!" Dumbledore nodded, glanced around the room and said, "So, who has questions about this case?"

"Oh! I guess he released magic in front of Muggles to satisfy his own vanity." A fat witch said in a sweet and disgusting voice: "How do you prove yourself, not out of nowhere? What about using magic against discipline for this purpose?"

Zhang Hao glanced at the witch and said indifferently, "Then, Ms. Umbridge, how can you prove that I cast magic for this purpose?"

"Of course, of course I can prove it," Umbridge smirked. "Just use Legilimency on you and you'll be exposed. If you're not happy with this method, I think we can use Veritaserum. ."

"Umbridge! We have no right to do this. If we want to convict anyone, we must show objective evidence."
