New Hogwarts Professor

There was no expression on Percy's face, but there were eyes hidden behind horn-rimmed glasses that were staring intently at the parchment in front of him and a quill in his hand, ready to record.

Ms. Bones looked at Xia Ran and said, "Do you need a chair?"

"I can do it myself." Xia Ran said briskly, took out her wand and waved it, and a soft seat appeared next to Harry's chair.

Ms. Bones nodded and said: "There will be a hearing on August th..."

Percy hurriedly started taking notes.

"About the case of Harry James Potter, who lives at 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, for violating the Act for the Restraint of Minors and the International Statute of Secrecy." Ms. Bones's voice was loud and clear. He said in a low voice: "Interrogators: Minister of Magic, Amelia Susan Bones; Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Piers Thicknesse; Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Peter Yaxley. Trial Recorder: Percy Ignatius Weasley."

Ms. Bones paused and asked, "Isn't Dumbledore here yet?"

"Perhaps he was delayed by something, but I can also serve as a witness for the defendant." Xia Ran replied.

Ms. Bones nodded with obvious satisfaction.

"Very well, let's start now." Ms. Bones said, pulling out a piece of paper from the pile of documents in front of her and handing it to the side, Pierce Thicknesse, the newly appointed Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, said, "You read it out." "

"I shall obey your will, Lord Bones." Thicknesse said politely, took the piece of paper, and read aloud, "The defendant is charged with the following crimes: The defendant has previously been penalized by the Ministry of Magic for similar charges. The warning is that this time, I was fully aware that I had committed an act that was illegal, deliberately and knowingly, at : pm on July th, in a Muggle residential area, and in front of a Muggle. A patronus charm.”

"This behavior violates Section of the Act for the Restraint of Minor Wizards promulgated in and Article of the International Statute of Secrecy of Wizards."

Thicknesse's voice was very loud and he looked down at Harry coldly from above the parchment and asked: "You are Harry James Potter who lives at 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. ?”

"Yes," Harry replied.

Xia Ran secretly thought on the side that the "International Statute of Secrecy of Wizards" has the original text. He has already gained a full 500 points through contact. The force points are the "Act of Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards" and the parchment document is among them. The force points contained in it are not as high as those in the "International Statute of Secrecy of Wizards", but it's not much different if you think about it.

He suddenly longed for the original text document of the "Act on the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards"...

And Thicknesse became more and more anxious about Harry's questioning.

"You were officially warned by the Ministry of Magic for illegal use of magic three years ago, right?" Thicknesse asked aggressively.

"Yes, yes..." Harry explained in his heart, but Thicknesse didn't give him much chance to speak.

"And you used magic to create a patron saint on the night of July th?" Thicknesse continued to ask.

"Yes," Harry replied, "But..."

"You know that you are not allowed to use magic outside of school when you are under seventeen?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Knowing that you were in a place with a large concentration of Muggles?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Are you fully aware that there was a Muggle next to you?"

"Of course I know he is my cousin." Harry said angrily, "But I only use magic because we..."

"You are fully aware of your situation and have enough understanding of the relevant legal provisions, but you still choose to break the law and use magic? Do you want to show off in front of your cousin who has been bullying you?"

"No! At that time..."

"you……"

Xia Ran interrupted Thicknesse's aggressive questioning and said, "Isn't Thicknessy holding a hearing like this? Now it's time for us, the defendant, to describe the situation in detail." She ignored the change in her face as she spoke. The livid Thicknesse said to Harry: "Harry wants to tell you in detail what happened that night. Don't hide it, and don't add jealousy."

Harry nodded and took a deep breath and said: "Because two dementors appeared in front of us - me and my cousin - he, a Muggle, I must stand up to save the two of us, otherwise we will definitely... Being kissed by a Dementor should be kissed! Everyone knows that being kissed by a Dementor has consequences!"

The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet. It seemed that everyone had lost the ability to speak at this moment. They only stared at Harry blankly.

"Dementors?"

After a while, Ms. Bones repeated these three words. Her thick eyebrows were raised high and her monocle seemed to be about to slip off. She said: "What do you mean, child? You should It is clear that the dementors have escaped from Azkaban Prison and have taken refuge with that person who must not even be named, that is, Voldemort!"

There was a gasp and a sound from behind.

Harry felt a little calmer when he met Ms. Bones's gaze and said, "Yes, I am sure it's because I have seen Dementors - when I was in my third year at Hogwarts, I sometimes had Dementors." Monsters once besieged Hogwarts for half a semester - at that time, two dementors appeared in the alley and headed directly towards my cousin and me!"

"Ah!" Thicknesse spoke again, with an annoying sneer coming from his mouth as he looked around and around. There were basically all wizards attending the hearing, and some members of the Wizengamot wizarding organization seemed to want them to do something about this. The joke can also be understood as "Yeah, yeah, I knew we were going to hear nonsense like that."

"The Dementors are in Little Whinging?" Ms. Bones said with a hint of surprise in her tone. "I don't understand..."

"Don't you understand?" Thicknesse sneered, "Let me explain it kindly. He really took great pains to do it - this famous person has the names of 'The Savior', 'The Boy-Who-Lived' Harry... Potter - when he discovered that dementors can be used as a wonderful excuse, it was indeed brilliant! Muggles, you can't see the dementors, right? It's a child? It's very clever, it's very clever, I have to say, I want to applaud him Cheers! So the only witness is you, Harry Potter, who has one side of the story..."

"I'm not lying." Harry argued loudly and angrily. His voice was drowned out by the murmurings that resounded on the trial bench. "The two of them came from opposite ends of the alley, blocking everything. Everything became so dark. It was so cold because my cousin touched them and tried desperately to escape..."

"That's enough, kid!" Thicknesse said impatiently with a very arrogant look on his face. "I'm sorry for interrupting you when you tell your carefully crafted lies. I can bet you a galleon." Absolutely, Harry Potter has already practiced and said it well! After all, he has a professor next to him, right? Of course, the professor knows about Dementors. "
