Hogwarts Staff Maker
Chapter 166: Lawsuit and Compensation
Overnight emergency summons are normally only used for criminals who have violated serious laws.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Sen's actions show that he is on the side of justice. Even if he is really guilty, he should be treated with caution. After all, he is just a third-grade underage wizard!
Dumbledore frowned. Cornelius Fudge had changed and didn't even give him face!
He read the notice carefully again and found that there was less than half an hour left before the court session! Under normal circumstances, this would be too late!
"That's outrageous! What are they trying to do?!"
Liu Sen also showed displeasure after hearing this. "Are you trying to prevent me from having a court hearing and just treat me as a non-cooperative person?"
After saying that, Liu Sen quickly took out his mobile phone and asked Xiaoli to notify Lupin and the Galaxy Group's legal department. Are we going to sue? We are really not afraid!
It took Lupin only 3 minutes to rush to the office, and then under the magical power of the Phoenix Fawkes, the three of them disappeared in a flash of fire, and in the blink of an eye they had arrived at the lobby of the British Ministry of Magic!
It is very spacious here, somewhat similar to the airport waiting halls of later generations, but with a somewhat peculiar style.
The walls and beams were covered with neatly laid black tiles, the ground was covered with brown wooden floors, and dozens of fireplaces with gold trims stood on both sides of the long and narrow passage, which were used by the Ministry of Magic staff for commuting to and from get off work.
Going further ahead are several vertical passenger elevators, connected to the telephone booths on the Muggle streets above. If it is not convenient to use Floo powder, you only need to find the correct telephone booth, enter the password and register to enter the Ministry of Magic below. (The password is, which is Magic in the Jiugongge input method)
Near the end you can see a huge fountain with a group of sculptures inside.
At the highest point was a wizard holding up his wand, while the witches, centaurs, goblins and house-elves below him looked up at him with eyes of infinite admiration.
"The idea conveyed by this statue... is very feudal! Very magical!" Liu Sen complained in his heart.
There were many silver Sickles and copper Knuts in the pool under the fountain, and a dirty little sign next to it read: All proceeds from the Magical Brotherhood Fountain are donated to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
Liu Sen wanted to observe it more carefully, but was awakened by Lupin's cough. He and Dumbledore had already walked away.
After following the two people's footsteps, they passed through the golden door at the end of the hall and entered the service hall inside.
There was a "Safety Check" sign next to a table on the left side of the door, and the night shift staff in charge of the check looked a little listless.
Seeing Dumbledore and the other man coming, the man woke up suddenly and got up in a hurry.
"Principal Dumbledore! What are you doing...?"
"Come to the hearing! This is the person involved, Liu Sen, and this is the eyewitness, Remus Lupin!"
The security wizard nodded and held up a long, thin metal rod like a car's antenna.
"Routine inspection!"
He didn't dare to offend Dumbledore, but he swept Lupin and Liu Sen back and forth twice with the metal rod.
"What is this?" he asked, pointing at the armor on Liu Sen.
"Quidditch protective suit! It's normal for a little wizard like me to like playing ball, right?" Liu Sen said with a smile.
The security wizard didn't think much about it and continued with the next check.
"Wand!"
Lupin handed over the wand with ease, and was placed on a strange brass instrument that looked a bit like a scale with only one tray.
The instrument vibrated slightly and then spit out a piece of paper.
The security wizard picked it up and read: "Cypress wood, ten and a quarter inches, the core is unicorn hair, used for 34 years, right?"
"Yes." Lupin nodded.
The security wizard returned the wand to Lupin, stuck the note into a brass nail on the table, and then reached out to Liu Sen.
"…Wand!"
"Give!"
The security wizard was stunned for a second, then said angrily, "Are you kidding me? This is a rolling pin! Do you think I'm stupid? I'm talking about a magic wand!"
Liu Sen blinked for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I'm kidding! Hahaha, wait a moment!"
After pulling out a mass-produced magic wand from the interlayer of the armor and handing it over, the security wizard took it with some displeasure and put it on the instrument for testing.
"Willow wood, eleven inches, unicorn tail hair as the core, used for... 6 months?!" The security wizard asked in confusion, "Your new wand?"
"Uh... that's right!" Liu Sen said truthfully: "I use things a lot! Especially the magic wand!"
Dumbledore and Lupin held back their laughter and said nothing. Liu Sen's wand was extremely useless!
The security wizard was about to say something when a familiar voice interrupted him: "Looks like I'm here at the right time!"
It was Mr. Arthur Weasley.
"I think the check is almost done. Thank you, Eric." Mr. Weasley nodded to the security wizard, then decisively grabbed Liu Sen's shoulder and took him away from the security counter, and led a few people towards the elevator.
"Principal Dumbledore, we are going to the second floor, right? The Department of Magical Law Enforcement?"
"Yes, that's what the summons letter said."
But just as the elevator door was about to close, Liu Sen suddenly received a message on his phone.
He only took a quick look before quickly reaching out to reopen the elevator door.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Liu Sen frowned and said, "Lucius said that the interrogation address has been changed to Courtroom 10, and the time is in minutes!"
Arthur was surprised and said, "What? How is it possible? Why did they change the time and place? Did Lucius make a mistake?"
Liu Sen and Dumbledore both felt that Lucius would not pass on false information at this time, so they immediately decided to rush to the new address.
Courtroom 10 is rarely used. In the past, it was used to try the most heinous Death Eaters.
It is located on the bottom floor of the Ministry of Magic. Even the elevator cannot reach it, and it can only be reached by walking down the stairs.
Several people hurried all the way and finally entered the tenth courtroom in time.
This is a huge circular room without even any magic windows. It looks very depressing and eerie.
The jury box was already full of people, almost all of them were wizards in red clothes, they were members of the Wizengamot.
The farthest row was the gallery, where Lucius and several members of pure-blood families sat.
Seeing that Liu Sen and others arrived safely, Lucius nodded to Liu Sen calmly.
Sitting at the podium in the middle of the courtroom, Cornelius Fudge showed a look of surprise and disappointment. He had never expected that the other party could still show up for trial on time under such a tight schedule.
When everyone saw Dumbledore, they all sat up straight unconsciously. After all, the titles of the greatest wizard of the modern era and Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot were not given for nothing.
The door was opened again, and this time the members of the Galaxy Group's lawyer team came in, which made Liu Sen even more confident. Especially the leader, Rodri Xiang'er, who was a famous gold medal lawyer before joining the Galaxy Group and had almost no defeats in his career!
Fudge was helpless and had to announce the official start of the trial with a sullen face. He first introduced himself and several main jurors, and then began to state the crimes committed by Liu Sen.
"Illegal possession of magical weapons of mass destruction...deliberate killing of 30 Azkaban guards...obstructing the Ministry of Magic from enforcing the law, letting the wanted criminal Sirius Black go..."
After reading out a long list of charges, Fudge asked coldly, "Mr. Liu Sen, do you plead guilty?"
Liu Sen smiled and said fearlessly: "I don't admit it. What you just said is a complete slander against me!"
After looking down at the defense draft Lawyer Luo gave him, he continued, "First, I was on the Hogwarts Express on my way to school when I was suddenly attacked by Dementors. My life and the lives of several classmates were seriously threatened! According to Article 51 of the Underage Wizard Protection Act, underage wizards have the right to take necessary measures to save themselves when they encounter an emergency! Professor Remus Lupin and all the Hogwarts students who were traveling with me can testify for me! The video and photo files are here, please watch, Mr. Presiding Judge and the jury!"
As he spoke, Liu Sen took out his mobile phone and asked Xiaoli to project the sorted videos and photos into the air. The panic and crisis at that time were fully displayed, and the jury immediately began to talk.
After a moment, Liu Sen put away his phone and continued, "At the same time, on behalf of all the teachers and students of Hogwarts, I lodge a solemn protest to the Ministry of Magic: the officials leading the Ministry of Magic enforced the law violently, failed to show a search warrant in accordance with the law enforcement process, failed to identify themselves in advance, ignored the personal safety of underage wizards, and commanded the Dementors to launch a fatal attack on our teachers and students! Please ask the Ministry of Magic to severely punish those who violate the law and discipline! And pay the injured medical expenses, nutrition expenses, mental damages, compensation for damage to personal belongings, maintenance fees for Hogwarts trains, etc., a total of 1185 gold galleons!"
Bang! Fudge was so frightened that he fell off the judgement stand. How much more?! We still have to pay compensation?!
