The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]

Before the Wizengamot trial, Daniel did his best to do his homework.

He kept in mind the name, age, background, educational experience, magic skills, careers, and taboo points or lower limits of each member of the jury.

Lucius did not accompany him in this trial.No matter how narcissistic he was, he would not feel that his presence would have any beneficial influence on Black's brother-in-law during this sensitive period of sudden downfall of the mysterious man.

On the contrary, the identity of a foreign wizard has no bias and a completely blank political position, which is more convenient to operate.

Daniel followed a member of the Ministry of Magic down a long, eerie corridor.The walls on both sides of the corridor are made of stone, bare, without windows and doors, and it is impossible to have electric lights, only the bright flames burning on the torches.

According to the member of the Ministry of Magic, this kind of torch is a special magic torch that will not be blown out by the wind.

Even so, but to be honest, if he didn't know that this is the normal state of the British wizarding world, Daniel would think that this is an insult... However, probably the audience in front of the TV would like this medieval old style as if they had traveled through time .He carefully moved the invisible camera in the shape of a pen to ensure a clearer and more comprehensive picture.

The black door with iron chains was opened - Tribunal No. [-] (specially dealing with disputes among nobles in the magic world, and the issue of inheritance was the first) appeared in front of them.

Fifty jury members in purple robes sat on a high place, looking down at Daniel who walked in. Their eyes were either curious, severe, or simply indifferent.

Sitting in the middle is an older woman—Millisan Bagno, the current Minister of Magic.

This Ravenclaw-born lady, with gentle and wise eyes, is more of a scholar than a politician.

However, her courage is not inferior to that of Gryffindor. During her tenure as Minister of Magic, although her courage was slightly lacking, she never gave in even when the mysterious man was the most powerful.

She sits firmly in the position of minister, cooperates with Dumbledore, and protects those innocent Muggle-born wizards.

After the mysterious man was finally defeated and disappeared, she was not happy that she was now in power. Instead, she grieved from the bottom of her heart for those wizard friends who lost their lives in the war, and felt extremely tired.

She even proposed that Dumbledore take over as Minister of Magic and choose to retire on her own initiative.It's a pity that Dumbledore has not given her an accurate reply so far, so she has to continue to support this ministerial position exhaustingly.

On the left and right sides of this lady, there are two other candidates who are most likely to take over as Minister of Magic: Connery Fudge, and his current biggest competitor, Barty Crouch.

Ignore Fudge, Barty Crouch, the current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, is at the peak of his career recently. He is in full swing and in full swing. He combs his hair uncluttered, holds his head high, and has sharp eyes. He stared at everything in front of him.

When he was a mysterious person, he publicly declared that he would fight to the end, thus gaining great prestige among the people.

Moreover, after the downfall of the mysterious man, he led the Aurors to catch the Death Eaters everywhere, using very tough and extreme methods.

Among them, the most typical and the most famous case for him is the case of Sirius.

He personally arrested Sirius Black and threw him into Azkaban Prison without trial. This was the first 'criminal' of noble origin arrested by the Ministry of Magic. Since then, the privileges of nobles have been banned. Completely broken.

Regardless of Muggle or aristocratic origin, as long as he is associated with the mysterious person, Barty Crouch will be like a vulture, hovering in the sky non-stop, seizing any opportunity, and throwing people into Azkaban.

Because of his ruthless style of acting, the nobles in the wizarding world were almost taken aback and panicked all day long.

At this time, even the cunning Lucius Malfoy would subconsciously choose to back away from this guy (of course, I don't know what conspiracy is behind it).

Compared with him, Connelly Fudge, who is always with mud and grass, is really low-key and a bit too much.

This chunky man who 'had some illicit transactions with Lucius in private', although he put on a serious look, did not forget to wink at Daniel inadvertently when he looked at him.

After Daniel responded with a slight nod as if nothing had happened, he raised his eyes and looked around at everyone present at the Wizengamot...

After doing homework for a week, he already knows who is an ally, who can be won over, and who is an enemy.

"Can we start already?" Fuji asked politely around, and after getting everyone's affirmative answer, he cast a spell of 'sound like a bell' on himself, and said loudly: "X month X day The trial of Daniel Blake on the legality of inheriting the Blake family estate...Interrogator...Director of International Law Enforcement...Recorder..."

Daniel sat safely on the bench.

Because it was the first time for the British wizarding community to accept a case about inheritance, everyone seemed very inexperienced in this matter.

The members of the jury looked at the young American wizard curiously, and whispered behind each other.

"...the materials submitted..." Fudge was still there dutifully narrating, and then distributed a stack of parchments to every member of the jury.

However, when everyone looked down at the information, Barty Crouch suddenly began to ask sharply: "Are you the son of Alpha de Black?"

"Yes, sir."

"You were born in America?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know that your father, Alpha de Black, has been expelled from the Black family?"

"I know."

"Do you know why he was removed?"

"I know."

"What is it?"

"He funded my cousin who ran away - Sirius Black."

"Then do you know that Sirius Black is a Death Eater, a traitor, and is currently serving his sentence in Azkaban Prison?"

Barty Crouch stared at the foreign wizard on the trial seat with icy eyes, "Sponsoring a criminal, I am very suspicious of your father, Mr. Alpha de Black's position. And you, a foreign wizard, a 'funding criminal,' stand The descendant of an unknown person came to England suddenly and asked to inherit the family that had 'abandoned your father', can you tell me why?"

The jury began to whisper again.

They put down the documents (the documents were not very useful in the first place, the blood relationship of the wizard family can be seen clearly with a spell, and there is almost no need for any documents to prove it, submitting the documents is completely a process), He began to look at the scene in front of him.

Although Barty Crouch's question was a bit extreme and inexplicable, he did put an important question on the surface, that is: the position of this 'heir to the Black family'.

The British wizarding world has only experienced the devastation of the mysterious man, and the power of the pure-blood nobles has just been suppressed. They are still not sure which side the American wizard is on... But today, it is not so much about the inheritance of the Black family, it is better to say It is a political game between two forces.

"This is really against the rules," Daniel thought to himself, "There is no clear regulation and standard, and it all depends on the wishes of the jury members. It's just a mess..."

'Forget it, it was already expected. '

He sighed softly, but finally showed a bright smile, and said in a silly and sweet tone: "Mr. Crouch, the removal of the family is an internal matter of the Black family. What's more, I think that It's pure anger. Brothers and sisters are playing temper with younger brothers, similar to 'you don't do what I say, I will kick you out' or something angry. Who would take a 'family quarrel' seriously? That Isn't there something wrong with your brain?"

He blinked his blue eyes, with an expression full of emotion, and expressed a sigh: "Mr. Crouch, the blood relationship is unbroken!"

Fudge subconsciously turned his head to avoid bursting out laughing.This brother-in-law of Lucius is simply smarter than imagined, pretending to be stupid, probably will drive Batty to death.

"As for funding Sirius, Mr. Crouch, your logic is very problematic. Here, there is also a time period issue, which you haven't noticed."

"When Sirius was kicked out of the house, that is, when my father funded him, he hadn't violated the laws of the wizarding world, and he wasn't a criminal at that time." Daniel plausibly said, "Sponsoring a man who was kicked out by his family because of rebellion Do you still need to think about the poor child in the family and on the street? Should we first ask the prophecy family to predict whether his future is good or bad? Who would be so cold-blooded, cruel, ruthless, and unreasonable?"

Barty Crouch, who was cold-blooded, cruel, ruthless, and unreasonable, stared at him with a cold face, "No matter how you argue, your father, Alpha de Black, has indeed been expelled from the Black family."

"But my father and I were not deprived of the surname 'Black' (that's because all wizarding nobles look down on the laws of the Ministry of Magic and don't think that internal family matters need to be registered with the Ministry of Magic). In the "Wizards of England" revised in 1931 Edition, in article 430, 'everyone who descends from a bloodline with the same surname shall enjoy the property ownership of that bloodline'."

"You're an American wizard."

"I have British domicile."

"The Blacks are Death Eaters..."

"Slander! You can't use a few people to represent a family... okay." Daniel looked at him pitifully, "To be honest, for a single-generation family like yours, it's probably really difficult to understand a big family. The complexity of the family members, and the love-hate relationship between them."

"Full of lies."

"Slander! My words are truer than Jin Gallon."

"Can you stop for a moment." Fudge interrupted their conversation awkwardly, and the jury members began to whisper again, not knowing what they were talking about.

"The internal affairs of the Black family are indeed not our focus."

Fudge said Barty Crouch gave him a sharp look.However, he turned a blind eye and continued to conclude, "According to the information submitted by Daniel Black, namely the blood certificate, and the death certificate of the heir of the Black family, he does have the qualifications to inherit the Black family. However, due to some members of the Black family in recent years, The frequent participation in the Death Eater organization that endangers public safety has caused the wizarding world to suffer heavy losses. We are not sure whether such a family should be inherited..."

"Can you tell me what you think, child?"

The Minister of Magic, Ms. Millicent Bagno, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke her first words since the hearing.

She looked at Daniel gently and firmly: "Mr. Daniel Black, you have come to England from the United States for a long distance, why?"

The author has something to say: I originally imagined a lot of things like interest exchange, but there are many things that are under the table, and I don’t know how to express them in detail. If you don't write it, no matter how ingeniously hinted it will be troublesome.

Therefore, when it was finally written, it was still a bit thin, and the writing power and conception were still somewhat insufficient. Sorry, everyone!However, I will continue to work hard!
