Chapter 631 Or I'll Show You A Demonstration
Dumbledore is not in a hurry, this big man always thinks about all aspects, he needs more voices, even if they are against, unlike Gryffindor's insistence on justice, and not like Slytherin's conspiracy.
This is Dumbledore.
Anton was not in a hurry, he happily took out a small notepad from the pocket of his wizard robe, and wrote and drew on it with a four-color ballpoint pen bought from the Muggle world, enjoying himself.
All of a sudden, the presiding judge in the courtroom and the defendant's defenders were fishing for fish, and the whispers gradually became noisy.
"Anthony~~Weasley!" A roar pierced the eerie atmosphere, and everyone looked at the old Barty Crouch who put his wand against his throat and cast the 'loud voice' spell on the judgment stand.
"You haven't answered my question yet! Animagus is not as special as the Oblivion Curse, and cannot be used to escape the subjective motive of the accused Jordan Lee to use magic to cause Muggle harm!"
quiet~
The seat fell silent for an instant, and turned his gaze to Anton next to the seat under trial.
But seeing Anton slowly writing and drawing on the notepad, after finishing the last line, he carefully fastened the leather buckle on the top of the notepad, inserted the ballpoint pen into the gap of the leather buckle, and put it in the pocket of the wizard robe. He stood up and looked around with a smile.
"Of course, Animagus has its particularity, which is very different from casting ordinary spells."
Anton took a few steps towards the judgment stand with ease, "It is the magic that is closest to black magic among the regular spells. When wizards cast Animagus, they can't fully use their own subjective consciousness to control, and more will be affected by it." The influence of black magic."
As soon as the words fell, whether it was the members of the Wizengamot management organization on the trial platform or people from all parties on the platform, they all exploded.
"He is simply crazy, and he even said that the high-end transformation technique of Animagus is black magic!"
"Merlin's beard! This is an April Fool's joke."
"Haha, Mr. Akinbad, you, the vice president of the International Federation of Wizards, the president of the African Wizengamot, the principal of the Waggadu Magic School, and the president of the International Animagus Association, are you actually a black wizard?"
Akinbad wizard's old face was full of astonishment, his thick white eyebrows trembled, and he smiled slightly, "I have to ask Ms. Minerva McGonagall, the vice president of our Animagus Association. But Wes Mr. Lai is the wizard with the most in-depth research in the field of Animagus in the world today, and I would like to hear the reason why he said so."
"..."
Anton ignored the voices on the stage, walked casually, and spoke earnestly and sincerely, "Actually, this case is very common, and it's not worth the effort. Jordan Lee didn't cause too many bad consequences. I I just read the description of the case, and the Muggles were all treated properly, the collapsed building was restored to its original state, and all Muggles who knew about it were cast with the Oblivion Curse."
"According to the usual jurisprudence, we will only ask the person under trial, Jordan Lee, to compensate for all losses, but in fact, we don't need too much money, as we know."
"The big question is whether he is subjectively malicious."
"That's what I want to say..." Anton took a deep breath, looked up at the dark sky above the courtroom, which was so high that he couldn't see the roof, his eyes were blurred, as if he was thinking about something, "I was a I was an Auror trainee at the time, and I have seen many so-called dark wizards in Azkaban."
"They're not inherently bad, and they make some hateful mistakes, not in large part because of their desire to hurt people, but because of the terrible effects of black magic on their minds."
"Essentially, they just learned magic that they couldn't control, and they were backlashed by magic."
"So..." Anton looked at the figures in purple-red wizard robes on the trial seat, "I also suggest that the members of the Wizengamot think about it, and they should be imprisoned when they made such a mistake. Go to Azkaban to be tortured by dementors, making their minds more distorted and more susceptible to the influence of black magic, or take some other means of punishment, such as using the oblivion spell to wash away themselves knowledge of the dark arts..."
Old Barty Crouch's eyes widened suddenly, "Director Weasley, I hope you remember your identity, this is not..."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. I just said it casually. I don't really care about it."
"!!!" Old Batty was stuck in one breath, unable to swallow, blushing.
Anton shrugged, "I care more about Animagus. Among the wizards registered by the Ministry of Magic, many of them are present at the venue. You can obtain evidence from them. Wizards entering the Animagus After the transfiguration, animal nature will erode human nature, and wizards will inevitably do some behaviors that only beasts will have."
"At the same time, I think there are many experts in the field of werewolf research here, who should be able to give you the answer. When a wizard turns into a magical creature like a werewolf, they are full of aggressiveness."
"After Jordan Lee turned into a werewolf, he still chose to attack the pillars instead of the enemies with guns. I think this is enough to prove that he is a kind person in essence."
"What do you think?"
There was silence on the tribunal, and such scenes of discussing the principles of magic rarely appeared in the Wizengamot's trial.
Oh, someone who knows how to tell how poor this Jordan Lee is, how miserable it is in the Muggle world because of being black.
People who are good at the law will quote from the classics, looking for the angle of the Ministry of Magic, which is full of holes and loopholes, to defend themselves.
The powerful will even make a deal in court, and even ask the judge to amend the law on the spot, admitting that the previous sentence was wrong.
In way too many ways.
Only Anton analyzed the problem here from the perspective of magic research, which was almost never encountered before.
In fact, no wizard dared to tell some magical principles in front of members of the Wizengamot, the top wizards in the wizarding world. This kind of thing is simply waiting to be slapped in the face. No one is so stupid.
"Ha~~" Old Barty Crouch sneered, "You yourself admit that the 'Werewolf Animagus' you invented is a terrible black magic that will lead wizards to do terrible things, right? A young wizard can destroy a building at will, do you know how terrible the impact your invention has caused?"
Oh huh~
Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong?
Old Heizi, are you waiting for me here?
Anton blinked and looked at him amusedly, "Mr. Crouch, any magic will have dire consequences, even the most common 'dancing spell' has been cast on a volcano and almost caused the destruction of an entire city. Destroying a Muggle building does not require complicated Animagus transfiguration, but only needs to cast the simplest "Tarantella Dancing Charm" in the "Dancing Charm" on the building."
"Nonsense, how could the dancing spell that all first-year wizards know could trigger a volcanic eruption, don't you think it's ridiculous to say such a thing?" Old Batty sneered.
Beside her, Ms. Bornsch turned her head and shook her head, reminding in a low voice, "Mr. Crouch, this is indeed a real case. The wizard Zacaria Inosenti abused Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The dancing spell, causing the volcano to erupt."
"!!!"
Ma Dan! Old Barty Crouch frowned and stared at Anton, who was smiling brightly like a silly child, and suddenly felt particularly tricky.
How does this Anthony Weasley know so much about Ministry of Magic case precedents and possesses such a wealth of magical knowledge?
He didn't actually hate Anton.
Targeting Anton in this way is nothing more than curbing the expansion of Dumbledore's power in the Ministry of Magic.
Yes, in the eyes of people from a traditional pure-blood family like him, Anthony Weasley has a strong brand of Dumbledore's influence on him. He was born in the Weasley family, Arthur's nephew, and Remus Lupine's godson , and Dumbledore's usual performance of blocking all external influences on Anthony Weasley from the school gate is too obvious.
And Dumbledore himself is a traitor to the pure-blood family!
Yes, although everyone didn't say it, since Dumbledore came forward to imprison Grindelwald, he has been a traitor in the pure-blood family in essence.
Back then, when Grindelwald's power was in full swing, the general trend had become established, and Muggles were at their weakest in thousands of years. They were in the midst of a global war. At that time, it was the best opportunity for wizards, or pure-blood families.
To rule the world and enslave Muggles, these pure-blood families will be gods in fairy tales!
However, with Dumbledore imprisoning Grindelwald, everything is gone.
Later, another Voldemort appeared. Although it was terrifying, cruel and vicious, the pure-blood families only cooperated with Voldemort for the sake of profit, but everyone still hoped that maybe Voldemort could complete Grindelwald's unfinished business.
However, it was still gone, and it fell into Dumbledore's hands again.
Since then, the old pure-blood family group has been in an extremely vigilant and repulsive attitude towards Dumbledore.
It is enough to have a Minister of Magic, Fudge. You must know that in the nearly 300 years since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic, appointments within the Ministry of Magic have never been affected by the magic school, not to mention the power of Dumbledore to support Fudge to power. From things like reaching Grindelwald and Voldemort.
Well, the greatest wizard of this century, everyone bears with it, and can only do small tricks to vent their emotions. For example, Arthur Weasley, who was close to Dumbledore, was squeezed into the office and only one old man waited for retirement. Case.
What now?
He actually tried to set up another department in addition to the seven major departments of the Ministry of Magic, and also used the "Animagus" and "Muggle Squibs" to affect the future structure.
This is simply intolerable.
What is even more unbearable is that if Anthony Weasley's "Animagus Research and Training Office" is really established and operated successfully, does it mean that his international voice will become extremely important and will profoundly affect countries around the world? The relationship between the Ministry of Magic?
So, is it necessary for me, the director of the International Magic Cooperation Department, to exist? Are there any rights?
Anton didn't know that old Mr. Barty Crouch had so many inner dramas. In fact, he still had a good impression of this little old man. When he read the original book, he had a good impression of this upright old bureaucrat who loved his family and insisted on justice. of.
Well, a large part of the reason may be the foil of Fudge as a bad minister.
He thought that Mr. Crouch was thinking about what he said, so he gently pulled out his wand from his wizard robe, "How about I show you?"
However, he didn't expect that in just an instant, a magic spell sounded from all corners of the trial room at the same time, "Armor protects you!"
Iron Curse!
Anton looked up in astonishment at the bosses in the trial seat who cast the Iron Armor Curse on himself at the same time, it was really incomprehensible.
The Ms. Bornsch wearing a monocle even kindly cast an Iron Armor Charm on old Barty Crouch beside her.
"Ha~"
Dumbledore, who had been silent all this time, laughed for some reason. He looked at Anton with a strange face, and said narrowly, "Look, your reputation in school has spread outside."
Ms. Boenshi shrugged, "I heard my niece tell your legend, Director Weasley, the Levitation Curse, Tickle Curse and Illumination Curse. I thought it was a misunderstanding, but when I saw McGonagall sitting on the seat When the professor, Professor Snape, and Director Lupine cast the Iron Armor Curse on themselves at the same time, I found that my preparation was correct."
"!!!"
Anton's eyes widened, this is slander, this is pure slander, you slander me!
