Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 391
Scott was also curious at the moment.

He was very curious about how the Carlos and the others would put the title of "hidden drug wizard" on his head.

After all, to the fifty members of the Wizengamot who were in charge of the trial, and the wizards who were watching, Scott was just an insignificant Hogwarts student.

A "hidden poison wizard" who once caused people to panic and an underage wizard, these two identities cannot be easily equated.

Scott thought that everything he had done was very concealed, leaving no hidden dangers.

Even if someone suspects him, as long as the other party cannot produce conclusive evidence, such suspicion will sound ridiculous.

Just look at the reactions of everyone in the courtroom at this moment.

Although Carlo vowed to clamor, most of the people present thought that he was just biting indiscriminately.

On this point, Scott can draw conclusions from the discussions he has heard.

The members of the Wizengamot sitting in front of the courtroom were also looking at Carlo and the two defendant witnesses with suspicion.

While all three volunteered that they could stand the test of Veritaserum, no one would really believe anything they said.

Scott guessed that even the wizards who were on the Carlo family's side would at best only pay lip service to what they said.

In short, after seeing everyone's reactions, Scott has completely calmed down.

He looked at Carlo below coldly, waiting to hear how he would respond to the question from Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, Burns.

After staring at Scott with weird eyes for a while, Carlo, who twisted his neck in a very awkward posture, finally twisted his neck back.

"I don't know!" He answered Burns very confidently, "He is also a wizard, and he has many ways to do this!"

Such an answer is cheating.

"Evidence!" Fudge stared at Carlo below, and yelled loudly, "Anything you say needs evidence, and it is impossible for us to believe your random identification!"

At this time, Dumbledore also spoke.

"I can testify for my students."

He looked at Scott, who was sitting in the corner of the courtroom, as he spoke.

"I can guarantee that during this semester, my student Scott Trollope has never left Hogwarts before today. Moreover, he is only a fifth-year student and has not learned the Apparation Charm."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, some wizards present smiled kindly at Scott.

Of course, most people were watching with cold eyes, and even a few wizards looked at him with malicious eyes.

Scott ignored these people.

He just seriously played the role of an ordinary underage wizard, looking at Dumbledore with grateful eyes.

"This doesn't require any evidence." Carlo suddenly sneered, "You just need to search Trollope's belongings, maybe you can find the same poison on him."

Scott frowned.

He couldn't understand the opponent's operation.

Search belongings?

He wasn't afraid to search his belongings.

He had already put all the things he didn't want to be seen in the oak tree house, which was protected by the Fidelity Charm.

What's more, there was no way the Wizengamot would agree to a search for him.

It is illegal to search a wizard without any reason, let alone a minor wizard.

Just as Scott thought, Burns decisively refuted Caro's statement, "This is impossible! We will not search a wizard who is not suspected of breaking the law without reason."

"Now, what needs to be verified is your suspicion of killing Miss Rolle, Elijah Dencarrow!" Fudge said sternly.

"Principal Karkaroff and Miss Friedrich have confirmed that I am not the murderer," Karo said. "We are willing to accept the test for Veritaserum."

Karkaroff also said: "Mr. Carlo is right. As for the reason why he didn't tell the Roller family the truth in advance, it was because he was afraid that the real murderer would become vigilant."

As he spoke, he turned around and bowed apologetically to Mr. Roll and Mrs. Roll in the gallery.

His actions made the two bereaved wizards and wizards tremble with rage.

When Carlo mentioned Veritaserum, the expression on Fudge's face became very ugly, and this time the trial seemed to be at an impasse.

Scott's frown never relaxed.

The threat in Mr. B's letter came one after another with Carlo's sudden bite. If Mr. B had nothing to do with the accident during the trial, he would not believe it.

He was thinking about the identity of Mr. B.

Did the other party choose to help Carlo because he had something to do with the Death Eaters, or did he just use this incident to threaten him?
Scott intuited that the second hypothesis was more likely.

Thinking of this, the [Book of Prometheus] in his hand shook slightly again.

Pretending to look around inadvertently, Scott found that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his head and opened the [Book of Prometheus] again.

[Son, are you thinking that they have no evidence to identify you as a hidden poison wizard?]

You're right, they really don't have proof.

I do not have either.

But this does not prevent them from accusing you of poisoning several wizards (including Caitlin Rolle).

Would you like to try it on?
BB]

Scott watched another threat from the other side motionless, and it took a long time before he let out a breath slowly.

He closed the [Book of Prometheus] again, and even turned the book into a card and put it in the pocket of the robe lining.

Of course he would not compromise just because of a few threats from the other party.

I'd like to see how these guys will accuse me.

Thinking this way, Scott raised his head and silently observed everyone in the courtroom.

He always believed that there was a high possibility that Mr. B was on the scene.

At this moment, Fudge, as the presiding judge, spoke again.

"After discussion, the use of veritaserum testing was not in order at this trial."

He said very seriously to Karkaroff and Miss Friedrich.

"Because you cannot present conclusive evidence, your testimony will not have legal force."

"I protest!" Carlo yelled loudly, "We voluntarily passed the Veritaserum test, which is in accordance with the procedure!"

"Protest is useless!" said Fudge, in a louder, blunt voice.

In the public gallery, the burly and ugly witch Alektocaro stood up again, "Judge, now you cannot prove that Elijah really killed Caitlin."

"Of course we can prove it." Mr. Roll also stood up. "Judge, we have another witness, the therapist Meriam Straw of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness."

When Alectocarlo heard this, a surprised expression appeared on that ugly face.

"Witness Merem Straw!" Fudge said loudly and decisively.

Scott turned his head again to watch a witch in a filigree garland and a green healer skirt hurry into the courtroom.

Although she also wears the costume of a therapist, she is the complete opposite of the transvestite Miss Friedrich, a witch who looks gentle and watery.

She even has a unique magical power that makes people think of the word "mother" when they see her.

When Ms. Slaughter walked into the courtroom, Mr. Rolle said with some grief: "After Caitlin came home, I specially asked Ms. Slaughter to conduct some physical examinations for her. No one else knew about it. .”

Fudge nodded, and said to the standing Slaughter: "Now, please state your conclusion after the inspection, Ms. Slaughter."

Ms. Slaughter nodded and began to speak softly about her testimony.

"Dear presiding judge, I have conducted a detailed inspection of Miss Roll's body, and my conclusion is that the cause of Miss Roll's death was a death curse."

"I also conducted a detailed test on the subtle magic power remaining on Miss Rolle. The source of the death curse is the defendant Elijah Caro."

As she spoke, she took out a document from her pocket and handed it over.

"This is a legally binding document," she said, "with the magical seal of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds on it."

"you are lying!"

This time, it was Alectocarlo's turn to be restless.

"Elijah is underage, he doesn't know how to use the Killing Curse at all!" She said viciously, "Also, Miss Friedrich also checked Caitlin's body, and she found the poison from her mouth !"

"Silence!" Fudge shouted in displeasure, "Get out of this lady who has disrupted the normal progress of the trial many times!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two wizards rushed in from the courtroom.

They wore Auror costumes, and they "invited" Alectocarlo out of the courtroom with a very strong attitude.

During this process, Alectocaro did not resist, she just stared at Fudge and Slaughter with vicious eyes.

After Alectocarlo was "invited" to leave, the courtroom returned to silence.

Fudge reached out and took the document Slaughter handed him, flipping through it casually.

"Judge, there is one more thing." Ms. Slaughter added, "Miss Rolle did have poison in her mouth."

While speaking, she glanced at the small glass bottle that Miss Friedrich was holding in her hand.

"There were poisons in her blood even," she continued, "but the poisons didn't enter her body during her lifetime."

"impossible!"

Carlo, who was chained to the chair, suddenly struggled.

"Impossible!" he growled hysterically, "I didn't kill her! I didn't kill Caitlin! Caitlyn was poisoned to death! The murderer was a hidden poison wizard, it was Trollope! I am willing to accept the Veritaserum test! "

At the same time, Karkaroff and Miss Friedrich looked very ugly, and they both glared at Ms. Slaughter.

Scott watched the scene with cold eyes.

Carlo's struggles and rants are full of sincerity, and the anger of Karkaroff and Miss Friedrich is also true, because the memories in their minds have been modified, and they all think that what they said is the truth.

"Quiet!"

At this time, Fudge was obviously very dissatisfied with yelling at Carlo.

"Hold him!" he said.

The two Aurors came in from the court room just now.

They rushed to Carlo's side and held him by the shoulders while they put a spell on his mouth.

"Yes, this test report from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries is legally binding." Fudge shook the document in his hand, "Ms. Slaughter is telling the truth."

With that said, he handed the document to Burns.

"In addition." Fudge continued, "Although the defendant's accusation against the innocent student cannot be established, in that false accusation, the defendant has personally admitted the fact that he sneaked into Hogwarts and attacked the other party."

He stood up directly and increased the volume of his speech.

"In my view, this trial can be concluded and this court will be convicted of both offenses against Elijah Jayden Caro."

He looked at the other members of the Wizengamot sitting around him, and continued: "The accused, Elijah Jayden Caro, has committed serious violations of several laws, and I propose that he be punished by life imprisonment in Azkaban."

At this time, the document from Ms. Slaughter was circulating among the Wizengamot members.

Scott was very surprised to watch Fudge's series of "cutting the mess quickly".

Although the existence of Ms. Slaughter should be unknown to the other party.

But to be honest, Fudge's use of a test report from St. Mungo's to turn this case into an iron case is really beyond people's expectations.

I don't know if it's because Fudge showed too much determination, but in short, Scott's Scholar's Union identity card didn't vibrate anymore.

When all fifty Wizengamot members had read the test report, Fudge soon began to preside over the show of hands.

As a result, a total of 29 members of the fifty Wizengamot members raised their hands to agree with Fudge's judgment, and Burns and Dumbledore also raised their hands.

According to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, Carlo was punished by life imprisonment in Azkaban.

The trial ended with this anticlimax.

Since Alecto Carlo was "invited" out, the few wizards who were obviously related to Carlo did not blatantly object.

Scott always felt a little unreal.

Just bewildered.

In his opinion, the formal court trials in the wizarding world are too loose, like a farce.

What this trial relied on was not any law at all, but the means of wizards.

He came to testify, but in the end he was spared.

At the end of the trial, some wizards in the gallery had begun to leave.

Scott sat still, watching the two Aurors escort Carlo away.

Although Carlo couldn't speak, he kept staring at Scott with resentful eyes.

Until he left the courtroom, he still twisted his neck and stared at him persistently.

Scott didn't avoid his gaze, and kept staring at him until he disappeared outside the door.

At this time, a wizard who looked a bit like Alecto Caro walked in front of Scott's seat.

With his back to the crowd, he showed a vicious expression at Scott.

"You're lucky this time, poor Mudblood Boy." He said darkly, "If it wasn't for Dumbledore..."

He only spoke half of his words, and then showed a cruel smile at Scott, then turned and left.
