Chapter 629 Trial of Animagus and Muggle Squibs

The people around were whispering to each other, whispering mixed with the cold invasion of the black stone-built walls, Jordan Lee sat on the chair trembling for a while, looking around in fear.

It's a pity that sitting here and looking around, everything has become dark, and he can only vaguely see some wizards wearing purple-red wizard robes sitting on the high platform.

Feeling gazes of scrutiny, disgust, or indifference, Jordan Lee could only feel his stomach twitching, with nauseating tingling sensations.

He felt an ominous silence enveloping him, and he didn't know whether to face punishment, imprisonment, or death next.

The iron chain on the armrest seemed to be a living thing. Following his convulsive shaking, it also shook and jingled.

At this moment, a hand patted his shoulder lightly.

Jordan Lee looked up, it was Anthony Weasley, the younger brother of George and Fred, because Anthony didn't seem to have that much interest in Quidditch, and there wasn't much interaction between them.

Anthony just smiled slightly, as if to say - take it easy.

Oh~

Merlin's beard!

Jordan Lee was sure that he heard this sentence, although it was unbelievable, but Anton spoke in his heart like this!

He once heard George and Fred discuss in the dormitory that Anton had developed a chat tool that used the magic spell and anti-spell of "Instigmatism". Time to chat.

It turned out to be true!

Moreover, he also felt a hazy ray of sunlight covering his body warmly in this dark and cold interrogation room. For just a moment, Jordan Lee involuntarily fell silent.

Dumbledore sat silently in the middle of the trial seat, and slowly raised his head, looking at Anton through the half-moon-shaped glasses with a very strange, relaxed and joyful mood, "Maybe, Director Weasley, can you tell me your thoughts first?"

Anton raised his eyebrows, and walked briskly to the high platform in front of the right under everyone's gaze, leaned on his toes on the high platform, looked at the parchment in the hand of the trial recorder, and then whistled.

"...accused of breaching the Muggle Protection Act, the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizarding Act and the International Act of Wizarding Secrecy..."

"...turned into a werewolf and destroyed the load-bearing pillars of the building, causing the building to collapse and injuring hundreds of people, five of whom were in danger of life (already rescued)..."

"Oh huh~"

"That's quite a lot."

Seeing the interrogation recorder glaring at him, Anton shrank back the parchment in his hand, could not help squinting, and stared at him closely, "Why? I can't read it?"

When the trial of the Wizengamot Management Agency of the Ministry of Magic is in session, the trial recorders are generally people with little background, (such as Percy), and they are of mixed seniority.

The trial recorder was a young man with blond hair and freckles, wearing a suit and leather shoes, his hair was well-groomed, and his face was full of arrogance.

He was about to say something when he suddenly saw Anton's eyes staring at him. He felt as if he heard the roar of a werewolf in his ears, and a pair of green animal eyes were staring at him with hunger and thirst.

"Ah~" he screamed, took a step back in a panic, and hit the steps behind him.

"Director Weasley, don't scare him." On the high platform, a middle-aged witch wearing a purple wizard robe from a member of the Wizengamot laughed, her monocle was full of ridicule, "Peter Lawrence is The deputy director of the Ni office is in charge of clerical work."

"Really?" Anton raised his eyebrows and sneered, "He just scolded me from the bottom of his heart. I don't want this kind of person, so don't come to my office in the future."

As he spoke, he leisurely walked back to the place beside Jordan Lee, looked up at the middle-aged witch with the monocle, "May I ask who you are?"

"Amelia Susan Bornsch."

"Susan Bornsch?" Anton was taken aback for a moment, "I have a classmate with the same name, from Hufflepuff College."

Ms. Boenshi smiled slightly, "Yes, mine is her aunt."

Look, not all the descendants of the pure-blood family went to Slytherin. Anton finally remembered who this lady was. In the original book, Harry Potter was caught and brought to the Ministry of Magic for trial because he cast the Patronus Charm to protect Dudley. It was this lady who was so amazed at Harry's talent of the "Physical Patronus".

At that time, Ms. Bornsch was already the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Although the head of this department was a vacant position, it could also be seen that this lady's potential status in the Ministry of Magic.

"It's not a good idea for you to dismiss your deputy director at this time." Ms. Boenshi said with a smile.

"Hmm~" Anton thought for a while and nodded, "Thank you for your suggestion. In this case, I will wait until this trial is over before considering formally submitting to the Minister of Magic Fudge to dismiss my deputy director."

Anton squinted his eyes. He didn't dare to ask for help from the forces behind him instead of his deputy.

"I guess, when it comes to my office, I have the final say."

"I think I have some authority on the Animagus, too."

Anton walked slowly beside Jordan Lee with his hands behind his back, "The "Muggle Protection Act" against Jordan Lee's accusation does not hold."

"After he became a werewolf, he stayed in his own home. The other Muggle in the conflict was holding a gun, which is self-protection. I think this issue has been mentioned in previous cases on the "Wizard Self-Protection Regulations" .”

"At the same time, he didn't attack the Muggle with the gun, but the pillar next to the Muggle, which caused the building to collapse. This belongs to the 'self-protection', and the damage caused, you can ask him to pay Compensation for treatment, but he cannot be held responsible for this matter."

"In this regard, I think you can refer to the "Ayork Crouch Amnesiac Curse Case". The Ministry of Magic used the Oblivion Curse on Muggles, causing them to be in a trance and have a car accident. This is actually a similar case."

"Jordan Lee attacked the pillars of the building, not the Muggles, and that's the most important issue."

"What do you think?"

Anton looked up with a smile.

At the seat, someone whistled and laughed loudly, "Anton, don't you memorize the laws and precedents of the Ministry of Magic?"

It was old Ronaldo, the head of the Department of Magical Transportation.

Anton chuckled, no wonder he called himself Anton, it turned out to be his teacher, so he beckoned, "Thank you for your teaching."

Seeing the courtroom gradually becoming chaotic, Dumbledore picked up the gavel and tapped lightly, "Order~Order~O~~~rder (silence)."

After everyone quieted down, a middle-aged wizard with a short beard and thinning hair in the trial seat looked at Anton. It was Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, "I don't recognize Director Weasley. From my point of view, the Oblivion Curse is commonly used in the wizarding world to protect the "Secrecy Act", which has its own particularity. And Mr. George Lee used Animagus to attack Muggles without authorization, even if it is attributed to self-protection, he should be punished , to warn against the possibility of daring to use Animagus to break the law in the future."

"In the past, Animagus were all animals, and most of them couldn't cause too much damage, and they didn't involve the maintenance of the "Secrecy Act", but now there are Animagus in the form of magical animals, which is the most important thing. question."

The eyes of the wizards at the seats lit up, and they called out. It seems that the conflict about the "Muggle Squib" will start from the Animagus, and then from Anthony Weasley. It started with the proposer and the head of the relevant department.

Some wizards even secretly rejoiced that when people didn't know how this muddy water would drag Anthony Weasley into the water, he actually wade in by himself.

When something is contaminated with politics, it will become extremely scary, and this is also Professor McGonagall's concern.

She stared at the silent Dumbledore on the trial stage, and sighed secretly. As a headmaster, Dumbledore would certainly protect his students, but if he were a politician, what would Dumbledore do? Dumbledore has known this since he was still a professor.

She was going to go all out and protect the child Jordan Lee with the vice principal of her Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft as a guarantee.

But now, staring at Anton who was still smiling, she couldn't help feeling hopeful in her heart.

She never regarded Anton as an ordinary little wizard.
