Chapter 314 The Wizengamot Trial

Ministry of Magic Hall.

What! What! What!

The three sheep kept struggling and shouting, causing the surrounding Ministry of Magic members to look sideways.

As if aware of the curious and theatrical gazes of the wizards around them, the three sheep were so ashamed and angry that they wanted to hit the wall directly.

There is an obvious dark red magic rope tied around the necks of the three sheep.

Following the rope, you can clearly see a handsome blond wizard in front of him, holding three long ropes tightly in his hand.

The long rope swayed slightly, but was very stable, as if to prevent the sheep from escaping.

Auror Director Scrimgeour and other Aurors stood on both sides of Lockhart, seeming to be wary of something.

"Professor Lockhart is back!"

"With such a big show, Director Scrimgeour is here too. What happened?"

"What's going on with these three sheep?"

"."

Hearing the whispers of wizards around him, Lockhart smiled.

Soon, Lockhart followed many Aurors into a spacious room.

"Professor Lockhart, just hand these three sheep over to our Aurors. I will give you an explanation."

After entering the room, Scrimgeour said calmly to Lockhart.

"Okay, Scrimgeour." Lockhart did not refuse. He stretched out the rope in his hand and motioned to take it away. At the same time, he continued: "Do you need me to remove the magic on them now?"

"Just give me my wand."

After hearing this, Scrimgeour was silent for a moment and politely declined: "Don't worry, we have a dedicated curse-breaker. I believe you won't be disappointed."

As a senior Auror, the first thing to do when arresting a suspect is to take away the wand.

Although he knew that Lockhart himself had a high chance of being wronged, he still had to put away his wand.

Fortunately, Lockhart himself was very cooperative, which made Scrimgeour breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when faced with Lockhart's request to get his magic back, even if it was just to cast a spell, years of experience still made him choose to refuse.

Besides, he is a professional curse-breaker at the Ministry of Magic. Still quite confident.

Although Lockhart said that he created his own magic, he still didn't take it seriously.

After all, there are only a few good self-created magics, and most of them are very average or even poor.

And looking at this posture, this is just a variation of the transformation spell, so it shouldn't be a problem.

When Lockhart heard Scrimgeour's rejection, he didn't take it seriously, nodded, and reminded: "Okay, if it doesn't work, you can come to me."

After Scrimgeour took the long rope in his hand, he nodded and said there was no problem.

Then he reached out to the table in the middle of the room and said in a deep voice: "Professor Lockhart, given your identity and the issues reported by the whistleblower."

"We need to know some things ahead of time."

"Tomorrow, the Ministry of Magic will arrange for a confrontation between the two of you. Do you think there is no problem?"

"Of course." Lockhart nodded without hesitation: "I am very much looking forward to proving my innocence and finding out who is behind this."

"Okay, Professor Lockhart." Scrimgeour handed the magic rope in his hand to the Auror next to him, pointed to the table and chairs nearby and said in a deep voice.

"Then let's get started!"

Frank family estate, living room.

"This is your plan."

Lil Frank stands up. He asked the pure-blood families in front of him coldly.

"Those who were sent to attack were killed and wounded."

"Now, the wizards who are still alive are all prisoners, and they are all brought back to the Ministry of Magic for guarding."

"Lockhart is staying at the Ministry of Magic, waiting for his face-to-face confrontation tomorrow."

"Lille, don't be angry, don't be angry." Cain Parkinson on the opposite side quickly comforted: "We are just like you. We have lost a lot of people in the East Network."

"My people are dying and being held captive. I feel very heartbroken now."

"But the most urgent thing now is that we should discuss how to reduce the impact rather than getting into trouble."

"Really?" Lille said sarcastically: "If your old Zukdirhan Parkinson is caught."

"I don't believe you can still sit here safely now."

Hearing Leal's cynicism, Cain Parkinson felt angry in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

He also lost a lot of men this time.

However, he also understood Lear's current state.

The ancestor of his family's heritage has been arrested, so everyone has to be anxious.

He is a little lucky now. Fortunately, he did not go to the Presbyterian Church and call his ancestor.

With his thoughts turning, Kain glanced at Lucius who was sitting silently aside. Without saying anything, he continued to comfort him: "Lil, the person is not dead yet."

"With so many of our families working together, we will be able to recover some losses and bring back Mr. Herman."

Hearing this, Lear nodded, the anger on his face lessening.

Of course he knew that others had to take action, after all, 12 pure-blood families were involved in this plan.

Open first, no one can escape.

But he must at least express his attitude clearly.

Lucius was silent at this moment. Lockhart came back smoothly, even with a prisoner, which was far beyond his expectation.

As the proposer and executor of the entire plan, he was under the greatest pressure.

If he wasn't careful, he might be the first one to end up in Azkaban.

"Lucius, is there no problem with Rango Marcos' side?" Lear asked calmly: "Our identities will not be revealed."

Now he just wants to stop his losses and save his ancestor. Even if he pays part of the price, it is not unacceptable.

Upon hearing this, Lucius replied directly: "Don't worry, there is no problem. Even if it is found out, it will only be the work of a dark wizard."

"It can't be traced to us."

Having said that, Lucius still felt a little unstable.

Even if there is no problem on Rango Marcos' side, many wizards and prisoners were captured this time.

If you are not careful, no, I should say it will definitely be leaked this time.

It's just a matter of whether more or less is leaked.

If enough information is leaked, even the identity of his mastermind is revealed, Lucius is sure that he will definitely enter Azkaban.

As his thoughts turned, Lucius felt a surge of cruelty in his heart.

He understands that there is no proof of death!

What's more, his master is still there.

The next day, the Wizengamot courtroom.

In the spacious space, Lockhart sat on a table nearby. Not far away, a middle-aged wizard with messy hair, Rango Marcos, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and looked at Lockhart with an angry face.

It was as if Lockhart had robbed his entire family.

And all around, a large number of Wizengamot members wearing red robes sat down one after another.

At this moment, Lockhart was sitting on a chair, sizing up the female judge Miranda opposite, with a slight smile on her face as she looked at the serious expression on her face.

Eyes met, Miranda looked at the handsome Lockhart, her serious expression unchanged.

But Lockhart could still detect a trace of fluctuation in Miranda's eyes.

Immediately, he looked at Lango opposite, looking at the look on his face that he wanted to eat him.

Helplessly, he turned around and looked at the Wizengamot members around him.

At this moment, suddenly.

Dumbledore pushed the door open and entered. The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then Dumbledore found his seat and sat down.

clang! clang! clang!

As Judge Miranda rang the bell on the left, a solemn voice sounded.

"The trial regarding the case of Rango Marcos accusing Gilderoy Lockhart of stealing research results and casting the Unforgivable Curse has officially begun."
