Librarian at Hogwarts

"Very well," said the presiding judge, Amelia, "the defendant Newt is already here, let's get started."

Amelia tilted her head toward the recorder and asked loudly, "Are you ready?"

The recorder nodded. He stared intently at the parchment in front of him, holding a quill in his hand to write.

"The trial on October 10th," Amelia's voice was calm and gentle, and the recorder began to record it, "the trial of Hogwarts student Newt Artemis Fido Scar. Mander, breach of the Magical Convention and the Reasonable Restraint of Minors."

"Interrogators: Amelia Susan Bones, Deputy Director of the Department of Enforcement of Magical Laws at the Ministry of Magic; Fabien Les Avery, Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic. Recorder of the Trial: Quiller Frey Al Jay.”

Amelia paused, then looked at Dumbledore, and said softly, "Defense witness Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore."

When Amelia read Dumbledore's name, Ignat observed the actions of the people around him. Many wizards present cast enthusiastic glances at Dumbledore, and even two young women The wizard waved and greeted him.

It seems that Dumbledore's reputation in the Ministry of Magic is very high.Ignat felt more secure in his heart. With Dumbledore here, Newt's trial would definitely have a better resolution.

Amelia, looking through a monocle, took out a piece of parchment from a pile of documents, and then read aloud: "The defendant Newt, at 13:[-] in the morning on September [-]th, At Hogwarts, a private experiment on marten was carried out and a classmate was injured. This behavior violated the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards" and the "Magic Convention" promulgated in [-]."

"I think you are Newt Artemis Fido Scamander, right?" Amelia looked at Newt and asked, her tone was gentle and her eyes were kind.

This should be an 'old friend' that Dumbledore has already contacted.Ignat guessed.

"Yes." Newt lowered his head, his voice humming.

"Do you admit that you conducted experiments on martens in school?"

"Yes...I did conduct this experiment in private."

"Did this experiment harm any classmates?"

"Actually...yes, I did hurt a classmate..."

Amelia nodded, stopped interrogating Newt, then looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Does the defendant's witness have anything to add or defend?"

Dumbledore walked forward and said gently: "Yes, Judge, I have something to say."

"Please say."

"In fact, Newt did conduct such a dangerous experiment as a marten, but he did not do it privately. On the contrary, he had specialized personnel to guide him. This is equivalent to a teaching accident. .”

"Of course, the injured classmate has recovered and been discharged from the hospital without leaving any scars."

Dumbledore paused here, then looked at the wizards sitting on the seats, and then said: "Actually, I didn't say this to cover up Newt's dangerous behavior in conducting experiments. To be precise, , I know that the outcome of the trial is likely to confiscate his wand and expel him from Hogwarts. But in fact, I think this punishment is too heavy for a young wizard, and he In fact, it’s not out of some evil idea.”

Dumbledore's words made many wizards present nodded subconsciously. If things were really as Dumbledore said, Newt's punishment would indeed be too severe.

Senior Deputy Minister Fabiens coughed a few times. He glared at the members of the Wizengamot who were chatting among each other. They quickly became quiet, and then Fabiens spoke: "Albus, we I’m not sitting here to listen to you exaggerating your emotional drama. This is the trial hall, a serious and just place.”

"Student Newt carried out such evil experiments as martens, whether privately or in teaching, but the damage caused in the end is already a fact, and this cannot be changed!"

"According to what you said, this was a teaching accident, then who was the professor responsible for teaching Newt? I'm afraid he must also bear certain responsibilities in this accident!"

Fabiens was aggressive and every word was like a sharp thorn.

Then he saw Dumbledore's smile and immediately realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly changed his words and said: "This experiment on the Marten must have been conducted privately by the student Newt. What kind of teaching is just an excuse for him." That’s all!”

You know, if it is a teaching accident, the crime will definitely not be as serious as the crime of students conducting dangerous experiments privately.After all, teaching experiments mean that the experiments you conduct are actually conducted with the school’s knowledge and permission.

"In fact, we have witnesses who can testify that Newt conducted the Marten experiment with a teaching license."

Dumbledore said politely.

"According to the Wizengamot Charter of Rights, the defendant has the right to call witnesses to testify, right? Ms. Bones?"

Amelia nodded, "Yes, indeed."

Fabiens said angrily, "Okay, okay. Where is this person? I would like to see what ability he has to guide students to conduct such an experiment."

"Of course, he is Igno, the employee just hired by our school. He is right outside the door right now. I think he should be able to..."

Fabiens said rudely: "No, Albus, just find someone else."

Then he pointed at Neil and said, "Go, James, and bring the witness over."

Not long after, Neil came back, and 'Igno' followed Neil.

Igno is still sitting peacefully now. They have already planned that the 'Igno' that will appear is actually Bascida.

It can be seen that Bascida must have been imitating Igno for a long time, and even the steps are inexplicably similar.

"Name?" Amelia asked Bathida.

"Igno Peverell." Bathida replied calmly.

"Are you a professor at Hogwarts?" Fabiens asked angrily, his eyes fixed on Basilda, as if he had seen 'Igno' somewhere before.

And his move has obviously caused Amelia's dissatisfaction.

Amelia glared at Feibins several times and reminded: "Mr. Feibins, Senior Deputy Minister, I think I am the presiding judge of this trial. You may need to pay attention to the order of your speeches."

Feibins turned his body sideways angrily, and then said angrily: "Yes, presiding judge."
