New Professor at Hogwarts

"Director Thicknesse, please maintain a calm attitude." Xia Ran said lazily, "Otherwise we will have to ask you to leave the courtroom, and you will be unable to complete your mission, right?"

Thicknesse's face turned the color of pig liver, and he glared at Xia Ran angrily.

The implication behind his words was that Thicknesse was a Death Eater under Voldemort. This hearing about Harry Potter was also on Voldemort's order, aiming to bring Harry Potter to justice. Expelled from Hogwarts and completely destroyed his wand.

Of course, from a factual point of view, Thicknesse had to say that Xia Ran had indeed guessed correctly. He did obey Voldemort's orders and was also a member of the Death Eater organization.

But you definitely don’t want others to know about this, and you just have to find substantive evidence.

"Slander!" Thicknesse roared, "Charran Fremont, you are slandering purely out of personal resentment. If you do this again, I will have to file a lawsuit with the Wizarding Court."

Xia Ran shrugged her shoulders.

Dumbledore took over and said: "Since Harry and his cousin have indeed suffered life threats, we all agree that the situation when Harry used the Patronus Charm is in compliance with the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act" What is the scope of the special circumstances described in Article 7?”

"That's if a dementor really appears, but I highly doubt it." Yaxley said coldly.

"You have just listened to the account of an eyewitness." Dumbledore said in an unassuming tone. "If you still suspect that she is not telling the truth, you might as well call her in again and ask her questions again. I think she will not object. "

"I...that...isn't..." Yaxley yelled angrily, "This is...I want to end this matter today, Dumbledore!"

"But you will definitely take the trouble to listen to the testimony of a witness, right? Because acting hastily will cause serious miscarriages of justice." Dumbledore said.

"A serious miscarriage of justice? Oh, my God!" Thicknesses said deliberately exaggeratedly, "Dumbledore, what I want to ask is... have you ever paid attention to this student of yours? How many absurdities has this child made up? Ridiculous lie, just to cover up his blatant abuse of magic outside of school! I think you have probably forgotten the hovering spell he used three years ago, right?"

Harry immediately interjected: "That's not me, that's a house elf."

"See, Dumbledore?" Yaxley yelled, gesturing more exaggeratedly in Harry's direction, "A house elf! In a Muggle residence! Is this possible?"

"The house elf is currently employed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Dumbledore said calmly, "If you are willing, I can summon him here right away to testify."

Xia Ran knew that they were talking about Dobby. When Harry was in second grade, he went to Privet Drive to report the news to Harry Potter because of Lucius Malfoy's plan. It turned out to be self-defeating and caused Harry to suffer another death. Illegal record.

"I...it's not...we don't have time to listen to a house elf talking nonsense!" Thicknesse shouted loudly, punching the judge's bench and knocking over a bottle of ink. "And not only In this matter, two years ago, this kid blew his aunt up, my God! It’s so vicious, that’s his aunt!”

Harry looked uneasy, as if he wanted to argue something.

Xia Ran winked at him and signaled Harry not to speak randomly.

This incident was really Harry's fault. Fudge did not hold him accountable at first - mainly because Sirius escaped from prison. At that time, everyone thought that Sirius was a shameful informer who betrayed Harry's parents, so the Ministry of Magic punished Harry Li deliberately opened the Internet - but even if it was brought up at this moment, it would be best to try to fool him.

"The previous Minister Fudge - and, of course, the Minister Ms Bones and the Director Mr Thicknesse - very kindly refrained from pressing charges, and I think you agree that even the best wizards are not always able to Control your emotions." Dumbledore said calmly.

Thicknesse hurriedly wiped the ink off his notebook.

"I haven't even begun to talk about the bad things he did in school." Yaxley said coldly.

"But..." Dumbledore was still modest and polite, but at this moment his words undoubtedly revealed a coldness, "The Ministry of Magic has no right to punish Hogwarts students for their misbehavior in school, so Harry What he did there has nothing to do with this case.”

"Oh," Thicknesse said in a sinister tone, "We don't need to worry about his behavior at school? Well, do you think so, Dumbledore?"

"The Ministry of Magic has no right to expel students from Hogwarts," Dumbledore said, "nor does the Ministry of Magic have the right to confiscate wands unless those accusations are proven to be true. Director Thicknesse, you are eager to ensure that the law is upheld. That's commendable, but you yourself seem to have - through what I believe was a moment of inadvertence - ignored several laws."

"The law can be changed," Thicknesse said viciously.

Ms. Bones coughed heavily and said calmly: "Thickness, okay, your questions should have been perfectly answered by Dumbledore. As for changing the law, that is not your decision."

"Sorry, Minister." Thicknesse apologized immediately.

Xia Ran chuckled and said: "A trivial matter of minors using magic is now being tried in a formal criminal court. This change in the direction of the law is really praising!"

Several wizards were moving uneasily in their seats.

Thicknesse, Yaxley and others stared at Xia Ran with no expression on their faces, or in other words, their murderous eyes had already explained their attitude.

"What Xia Ran said makes sense. We should hold a meeting to discuss the matter later. Dumbledore, I hope you can attend." Ms. Bones nodded.

Dumbledore bowed slightly.

Xia Ran thought to herself, why didn't you invite me?

Still didn't ask, he didn't belong to the Wizengamot wizarding organization after all.

"Then, let's start the voting," Ms. Bones said. "Anyone who agrees that the accusation is unsubstantiated, please raise your hands!"

Harry raised his head suddenly and raised his hands one by one. There were quite a few. He didn't have time to count them clearly, but they must have been more than half!

His breathing suddenly became rapid, and he wanted to count again to avoid being mistaken and happy in vain, but before he could finish counting, Ms. Bones said: "If you agree with the crime, please raise your hands! "

Thickness, Yaxley and others immediately raised their hands, along with six or seven other people, including an unshaven wizard and the curly-haired witch in the second row.

No need to count, there are definitely not as many people raising their hands this time as there were the first time.

Thicknesse, Yaxley and others looked around, their expressions becoming extremely gloomy and livid.
