[Zhongyingmei] My students are not right

Chapter 65 The Witch Trial 01

Love Potion, the most effective and powerful love potion in the wizarding world. People who take this potion will fall in love with the person who takes it.For more than a hundred years, there have been many legends about witches using love potions to confuse Muggle men, and they were once popular among the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But in the final analysis, the love brought by potions is not real after all. Yes, and Clare has never heard of anyone who has obtained real happiness with the love potion.

Claire looked at Quirrell. At this time, Quirrell's eyes were dodging again, as if there were knives in Claire's eyes. As long as he looked at her, he would be stabbed. He stepped forward hesitantly, as if exhausted With all the courage, he said: "The love potion can make that person fall in love with you again unconditionally..."

"Professor Quirrell has misunderstood me." Claire interrupted him, and said with a little doubt in his eyes.

"Ah?" Quirrell was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, no, I, I heard that Professor Lagerfeld's level of potions is also quite good..."

"It's not just pretty good, it's pretty good, okay?" Claire corrected, "But it's only a little worse than Snape."

Quirrell nodded a little unexpectedly: "Oh, oh."

Claire said sternly: "I don't know how to use love potions, Professor Quirrell, I don't know what misunderstanding you have about me."

"But, it's foolproof..."

"There is no magic potion that is foolproof." Claire laughed, "Using potions to plunder other people's love will one day reap the fruits of oneself. I firmly believe in this, so I have never looked at the formula of the love potion. There's no interest in anything at all."

Quirrell was stunned for a while, and even forgot to dodge his eyes when he looked at Claire.

"But Professor Quirrell has been wearing this purple turban..." Claire squinted at him, "Is it to hide something?"

Quirrell's eyebrows trembled violently, he turned his face sideways, and said with a smile: "Why, how could it be, it's just..."

"I know." Claire wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but the smell of garlic was too strong, so she took a small step back calmly, and then said "I understand you very well", "British man Shared sorrow, when I get out of the Magic Council, I will brew an upgraded bottle of hair tonic for you. I think you must have heard of the hair tonic that is very popular among middle-aged male wizards in the UK. That is my invention .If there is ever a foolproof potion in the world, and it's not Love Elixir or Felix Felicity, it must be my hair restorer."

Quirrell: "..."

Claire smiled: "At that time, you will be able to get rid of this purple turban. With all due respect, it looks really silly."

Quirrell: "..."

It was past two o'clock in the afternoon when Claire came to the Wizard's Court. She hadn't been to the Wizard's Court when she visited the Magic Congress last time, so she was a little curious about this place. Compared with the Wizengamot, the Wizard's Court of the Magic Congress It is smaller in size, it is a circular stepped lobby, with portraits of the late Speakers hanging on the walls, the one above the judgment seat is larger, with a gold-plated owl sculpture on the top of the frame, and In the portrait is a rather majestic elderly wizard. Claire has seen a picture of this person in the history of magic. It should be Josiah Jackson, the first president of the Magic Kingdom.

Because this incident of exposing the crisis was a public trial, there were already many people sitting in the auditorium. After Claire stepped into the court, those people also turned their heads to look at her one after another, with different eyes and pure curiosity. There was resentment because she was forced to work overtime, and there were some staff members of the Magic Congress whom she had met once, and there was faint worry in their eyes.

Her face was calm, her steps were firm, without any gesture of fear. Tyron took Snape and Quirrell to sit in the gallery and glanced at her. in the seat of the speaker.

Ms. Elizabeth Aldredge, the current president of the Magic Kingdom, has already stood under the judgment seat. She is tall and wears a wizard robe with a golden vine branch pattern. Her hair is neatly tied behind her head. It's pretty, it's a darker red, and when you look closely, it has a golden blue tone.

Claire nodded silently in her heart, thanking the little angel Taryn for sharing the color number in advance.

The position of the trial seat is higher than that of the person being tried, so Aldredge, standing on the trial seat, looked down at Claire. Her eyes were neither happy nor angry, and she couldn't see any bias. She just watched quietly Claire said in an extremely formulaic tone: "Claire Rita Lagerfeld, because of your good attitude, I will exempt you from the binding spell."

"Thank you, Speaker Aldredge." Claire nodded slightly.

She brushed up the hem of the wizard robe, and sat calmly on the seat of the person being interrogated.

At the same time, the jury members also walked to the seats on both sides of the trial seat one after another, and sat down respectively. Clark, who had already taken off his suit and changed into a wizard robe, stood beside Claire holding a black-shell notebook, coldly Said in a voice: "Claire Rita Lagerfeld, because of using Apparition and several offensive spells on the media of the No-Maj world, exposed the identity of the wizard, violated the law of Rappaport, and brought the wizarding world into a crisis of exposure, Therefore, he was arrested by the Auror on the day of the incident, he had a good attitude during the period, and he confessed to the crime, and today the speaker will make a ruling."

Aldredge, who was standing in the trial seat, looked at him, and asked, "Has the matter been settled?"

"Minister Scarman of the Department of Magical Creatures Protection has requested the assistance of the Association of Magical Creatures, and has used the venom of the Winged Demon to rain all over the world." Clark replied.

Aldredge nodded and looked at Claire again: "Ms. Lagerfeld, do you admit to this crime?"

"Admit it." Claire said, "Strictly speaking, I did violate the Rappaport law."

"You are not an American wizard, were you aware of this law before the incident?" A wizard on the jury asked.

"I've heard about it," Claire replied.

"So do you have a clearer idea of ​​what you're going to do before you act?" asked another.

"I've known it since I made the decision." Claire replied calmly.

A gray-haired wizard sitting at the front of the jury seat coughed twice and asked, "Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I know." Claire smiled at him, "The No-Majs will report in the morning paper the next day that they have discovered mutants with new abilities."

"You!" the wizard gritted his teeth and said, then stopped under the signal of Aldredge's eyes.

For a moment, both the jury and the audience in the gallery began to discuss Claire's answer just now.

In fact, what Claire said is not wrong. Since the birth of Captain America during World War II, the No-Majs have initially accepted the race of people with superhuman abilities. Later, ordinary people mutated and became mutants. The superhuman abilities of aliens have begun to subvert human cognition. The emergence of superheroes and the missile crisis caused by Magneto in the Gulf have made mankind clearly aware that this world has never lacked the magical works of the Creator.

Claire looked directly at the many suspicious eyes on the jury seats, and said solemnly: "I know that hundreds of years ago, the No-Maj's persecution of underage wizards made the wizarding world have been living a relatively closed life, and the Magic Congress has even introduced laws to The Paport Law restricts contact between wizards and humans. This law has been enacted by Speaker Emily Rappaport since 1790, more than 300 years ago. However, the United States has changed through the Civil War in 1861 The domestic situation has abolished the century-old slavery, and the Rapaport Law in 1790 still exists today. Now aliens can openly destroy cities and destroy the earth, but wizards are still hiding in space magic. The place stood by and watched."

Her words caused a commotion in the courtroom. The old wizard slapped the table and stood up, sternly saying, "You are a young man, why should you doubt the Law of Rapaport!"

Claire smiled and said: "I have no doubts about the Rapaport Law. In fact, in a relatively difficult period, this secrecy decree did preserve the wizarding world that had not yet formed a system at that time, but the times are developing. Yes, during the time of Speaker Rappaport, she didn’t know that after more than 300 years, in addition to wizards, there will be mutants, superheroes flying all over the sky, and even alien robots falling from the sky. Wizards are just like mutants. Same, based on humans, but different from humans."

"Then you should also know about the persecution of young mutants by those No-Majs." A jury wizard said, "After the wizards are exposed, aren't they in the same situation as mutants?"

Claire raised her eyebrows: "So I didn't intend to reveal my identity as a wizard, but I followed the situation at the time and said that I am a mutant. In today's No-Maj world, a person who can teleport or have all kinds of weird abilities people are not uncommon.”

"It's just unreasonable!" Several people shouted angrily.

Claire narrowed her smile and said, "Okay, let's not talk about Rappaport's law, just talk about today, when aliens invade the earth, superheroes stand up, when robots do harm to the earth, superheroes come forward In fact, what if all the superheroes die in battle one day? Wizards are no different from superheroes. Since they are talented, they have to bear more than ordinary people. I just did what I should do."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aldridge, who was standing on the trial seat, hooked his lips and said, "Even if you are a pregnant woman?"

Claire was taken aback, but before she could react, there was another commotion in the courtroom.

"What? Lagerfeld is pregnant?"

"Whose is it? The Magneto?"

"The child of wizards and mutants! My God, what kind of gifts will this child inherit?"

"Since Lagerfeld is pregnant, will the trial be postponed?"

"Actually, I think what she said is very reasonable. The Rappaport law formulated more than 300 years ago is indeed a bit outdated now."

"..."

Aldridge raised his hands and pressed them down, making a quiet gesture. The voices of those discussions gradually subsided, but everyone's eyes were still focused on Claire.

Claire exhaled, looked at Aldridge, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, for everyone, and for my child."

"Brave mother." Aldridge nodded.

At this time, a relatively young wizard stood up from the jury and said loudly: "I believe that after listening to Ms. Lagerfeld's defense of herself just now, you also think it makes sense. In fact, I think so too. Not long ago The evil god Loki attacked New York with the alien Zirita, and the Woolworth Building where the Magic Congress is located was also damaged to some extent, but all of us wizards could only hide in the magic circle, unable to even use the repairing spell. In the final analysis, we are all human just like No-Majs. When foreign enemies invade, why can't we wizards find a legal reason to fight back? Ms. Lagerfeld just did what she should do as a human Thing, there is nothing wrong with that, Speaker, I beg for the pardon of Ms Lagerfeld!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, other members of the jury who were in favor also expressed their views. Aldridge listened to each of them and nodded slightly.

At this time, a sharp female voice suddenly appeared in the jury: "Speaker! Lagerfeld's many attack spells and Magneto's attacks were all ineffective in front of Apocalypse, but in the end Apocalypse still died. I suggest investigating Lagerfeld wand, and see what spell she cast at the end."

Claire's body froze suddenly, and she looked towards the jury, only seeing a woman with a serious face.

This was the Ms. Freeman she had met the day before when she had just arrived at the Magic Congress.
