Chapter 521 Exciting
Looking at Miss Siegfried von Ansbach, Loila's eyes were also filled with shock, because she clearly remembered that she and Miss Ansbach did not have a good relationship.
But why was she willing to help me?
Loila looked at her, puzzled, her blue eyes revealing her confusion.
""
Siegfried simply looked at Loila, then silently pursed his lips—his gaze slightly shifted to the other side, looking at Fudge and the others, whose faces were now grim.
"Miss Ansbach, regarding what you said—I'd like to ask another question." Ms. Borns was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events: "You're a witness for the Ministry of Magic, aren't you?"
"Yes," Siegfried nodded and said, "but I'm here to prove that Professor Hamilton didn't do what they're saying."
"Isn't this a bit against the rules?" Fudge said slowly at this moment, "You're changing your testimony."
"Then why can't Professor Hamilton find witnesses to prove his innocence?" Siegfried asked coldly, glancing around. "Is this how the laws of your British wizarding world are supposed to be?"
"The Ministry of Magic is allowed to sue others, but others are not allowed to resist?"
'
Fudge was taken aback when a student said something like that, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Enough! This is the Wizengamo Council of the Ministry of Magic, do you think this is some playground?" Umbridge spoke up, pointing at Siegfried and saying fiercely, "You're going to associate with criminals, aren't you?!"
"You're Hamilton's spy planted in the Ministry of Magic's witness stand!" she said, looking at Burns. "I don't believe her words and actions can be considered evidence!"
"That's right, it can't be used as proof!" Andrew shouted at this moment.
This somewhat shameless behavior caused the wizards present to raise their eyebrows in varying degrees.
The reporters were even more quick and efficient, scribbling something in their notebooks.
Meanwhile, Roy, who was on the opposing side, was still immersed in the surprise Miss Siegfried had given her—why would she suddenly do this?
Loila looked at her, wanting to ask a question, but the place seemed inappropriate at this moment—
But seemingly sensing Loila's comment, Siegfried looked at Loila and slightly opened his mouth.
"Müller".
This is the name she didn't say aloud, but only gestured to say it.
But it was this name that made everything make sense—yes—she saw Muller that day—
Loila nodded slightly as she thought of this, and silently thanked Miss Zigfey in her heart.
Although Fudge's strong objections meant that what she said couldn't serve as any proof, wasn't that enough?
At least, besides Miss Shiloh, there are still people speaking up for me.
Loila felt a warm feeling in her heart—Miss Siegfried was more reliable than Dumbledore, who hadn't even shown up—
Ah—I guess it's probably not allowed to appear.
And actually, it's not just Dumbledore; even Mr. Lupin and his companions should be barred from appearing.
"It seems your witness isn't very willing to collude with you," Miss Shiloh said slowly. "Would you like to bring out the next witness?"
"————" Andrew took a few steps back, feeling a little guilty, and then turned to look at Fudge, who was sitting on the high platform.
Fudge remained silent for a few seconds with a dark expression before nodding slightly.
"I request the next witness," Andrew said to Borns. "Hamilton is guilty."
"Mr. Andrew—she's only a defendant now, that doesn't mean she's guilty," Burns said slowly. "And—do you have any evidence to present?"
Andrew paused awkwardly for a few seconds before saying, "I request the next witness."
"I understand." Borns coughed, then tapped the table. "Next witness."
"An Auror from the Department of Mysteries, a staff member of the Ministry of Magic."
"Mr. Green Fossoway."
As she spoke, Parkinson nervously pursed his lips. The Mr. Forsove that Ms. Burns mentioned was the silent man in black robes.
He looked so serious—I never imagined he was also a staff member of the Ministry of Magic.
As he slowly walked to the witness stand, Parkinson knew he was no pushover—he was probably the man Fudge had planted among the witnesses.
Parkinson didn't believe that all the witnesses were selected in the same way he was—some of them must have been chosen in advance.
For example, this guy in front of me looks like he has some kind of relationship with Fudge.
Parkinson raised his head slightly and even saw Fudge looking at him with a slight expression of agreement.
How awful!
Just wait, Professor Hamilton, I'll turn the tide.
Parkinson glanced at Loila and was surprised to find that she seemed to be whispering something with her defense attorney, Miss Rozier.
Then—Professor Hamilton looked surprised, her eyes widening as she looked at the witness, and then at Miss Rozier.
What's going on?
Does Professor Hamilton know him? Impossible—as an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, I've never even heard of him.
Professor Hamilton actually—
"Ahem." Mr. Foswell coughed slightly, then nodded to Fudge and Andrew.
"I am here on behalf of the Ministry of Magic—to testify as a witness against Miss Hamilton's crimes."
His opening remarks made Parkinson's face darken—so, he really was from the Ministry of Magic; then he'd better listen carefully to what he had to say—and then find an opportunity to refute him—
"Regarding what Mr. Andrew, Minister Fudge, and the Ministry of Magic have said about the facts of Miss Hamilton's crime—"
"I did witness it."
"Miss Hamilton has conducted unauthorized experiments with magical artifacts."
95
"And indeed, a conflict did occur with the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic."
"So you mean you think Miss Hamilton is guilty?" Borns raised an eyebrow at him.
He paused slightly, looked at Andrew and Fudge again, and then—a slight smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.
"No." He shook his head violently. "I don't believe Miss Hamilton is guilty!"
"These are all necessary actions!"
"Although Miss Hamilton conducts experiments with magical artifacts, she does so in completely safe and enclosed places."
"That's from her magic book."
"And the so-called conflict with the Aurors was initiated by the Aurors—"
"What are you doing, Fossovereign!" Andrew kept slamming his fist on the table to interrupt him, but he was only interrupted by Burns's stern voice.
"Do not interrupt the witness!"
"I'm accusing him!" Andrew couldn't help but shout, "I'm accusing Hamilton of bribing witnesses!"
"Ah—me!" Loila felt a sudden panic when her name was mentioned.
Hero stood boldly in front of her and said, "Miss Hamilton has been illegally detained by the Ministry of Magic. How could she possibly bribe a witness?"
"That's...it's you..."
"Do you have any proof?" Hilo said coldly. "I've only just met Mr. Fossove today."
As she spoke, she looked at Mr. Fossow, and the two exchanged a glance before nodding slightly at the same time.
Loila, who was hiding behind Shiloh, lowered her head somewhat guiltily.
Miss Hilo has already told her.
Miss Hilo had indeed never met him before, but that was because Mr. Forsoway was someone the Hamilton family had placed in the Ministry of Magic.
