Based on this magic wand, please make a fair judgment!
Chapter 92 Based on this magic wand, please make a fair judgment!
Ethan tilted his head slightly.
He met the gazes of those on the judge's bench, looking down at him from all sides.
Those gazes were cold and ruthless, as if they were merely tools of reason, not of human emotion.
Even the bravest child would be intimidated by such a scene.
They might also be at a loss and start crying loudly in fear.
Unfortunately, he was not a child at heart.
"I am guilty."
Ethan spoke slowly.
The words fell.
The judge's bench erupted in uproar!
"Mr. Vincent?"
Professor McGonagall stared wide-eyed at Ethan, puzzled.
"Knock knock knock!"
Umbridge slammed his gavel down, and the commotion gradually subsided.
She narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the calm-looking boy below the stage.
This kid confessed so quickly... I thought he was going to throw a tantrum...
Could it be that you have some other plans?
however.
Looking at Professor McGonagall, who was accompanying them, she also had a shocked expression on her face.
Umbridge dismissed the idea, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.
Rita, the reporter, bit her pen in disappointment and resentment.
This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
I thought there would be some kind of juicy surprise... :::
"Now that the criminal has confessed, we should make a verdict."
Umbridge said in her smug, cloying voice:
"Given that the prisoner is a minor, he will be expelled from Hogwarts and sent to Azkaban for labor reform every day until he reaches adulthood, at which point he will be put on trial."
Upon hearing this...
Some of the wizards in the dock frowned and whispered among themselves to their colleagues.
"This is absolutely absurd!"
Professor McGonagall roared, her face flushed with rage.
"I've never seen anything like this before—no proper review, no explanation of the legal provisions, and such a harsh conviction!"
"How is this any different from vigilante justice?!"
How much did you get from that pure-blooded couple?!
Professor McGonagall almost shouted those words out loud.
She took a deep breath, looked coldly at Umbridge, and said:
"I demand to inspect both of our wands."
"I don't believe my students would attack someone for no reason!"
Ethan is a bit weird, a bit of a sadist at school...: *cough*
But she firmly believed that Ethan had no intention of harming anyone.
He's just a kid who loves drawing, what did he do wrong?
Since the start of the school year, Ethan's actions have consisted of beating up classmates and sending them to the school clinic, injuring teachers and sending them to the school clinic, and even blowing up his competition opponents and sending them to the school clinic...

Professor McGonagall suddenly fell silent.
His lips twitched, and a clear wavering appeared in his eyes.
and many more.
Ethan, you didn't really do something, did you?
Fortunately, Umbridge didn't notice this subtle change in expression.
She shamelessly said:
"Oh, of course we checked Mr. Carlo's wand. The last thing he cast was just a little 'Flicker'."
"Furthermore, the victim's severe injuries alone are sufficient for conviction—but since you have made this request..."
With that, Umbridge snapped his fingers.
With a snap, the chains binding Ethan came loose.
"To uphold justice, let's examine the criminal's wand together."
"Ethan..."
Professor McGonagall looked at Ethan with nervousness and guilt, feeling that her request was unnecessary.
What good would it do to check the wand?
The two sides definitely fought each other.
But Hamburger Caro's wand has been concealed, making it impossible to detect anything...
This, in turn, puts Ethan in a disadvantageous position!
however.
Ethan rubbed his wrist, which was red from being bound.
He looked up and smiled at Professor McGonagall:
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall, this is exactly what I wanted."
Everything is going according to plan.
Ethan took his wand from his pocket and obediently handed it to the Auror.
Professor McGonagall was stunned when she saw the wand.
It was a dusty, broken, dark brown magic wand.
Ethan's wand, she remembered it very clearly, was a light brown wand with horizontal ridges!
That's why it's so memorable.
Not only because Ethan often came to discuss with her methods of wand transformation.
That's also because Ethan takes care of his wand every day.
Unlike other young wizards—especially Gryffindors—who liked to poke around with their wands.
Ethan's wand is still as good as new, without a single scratch.
It sparkles in the sunlight and is very holy.
therefore.
there is only one truth.
The wand that Ethan handed over wasn't his own!
So, Professor McGonagall seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes gradually lit up.
the other side.
In the dock.
The Caro couple were taken aback when the wand appeared.
He leaned forward abruptly, staring intently at that familiar magic wand!
"I think there's no need to check the wand anymore," Mr. Carlo suddenly said.
But clearly, his meaning was not conveyed to Umbridge.
The latter, still lost in her daydream of promotion and wealth, eagerly grabbed the magic wand and screamed:
"Don't worry! Mr. Carlo, I will get justice for your son!"
"Flashback Spell!"
next second.
"Merlin!!"
Amidst gasps of surprise, a burst of green light erupted, and an evil, twisted magic permeated the air.
In a daze, it seemed as if a soul was crying out in a high-pitched lament.
Like a bomb dropped on the water, the judge's bench suddenly erupted in chaos!
"It's the Avada Kedavra curse—'Unforgivable'!"
"But that little wizard was able to use the phrase 'must be severely punished—'"
Rita, the reporter, was ecstatic, her pen flying across the paper as she jotted down line after line of fabricated nonsense.
Merlin's wig!
A first-year wizard at Hogwarts used the Killing Curse, the most terrible of the three unforgivable curses, on his classmates!
Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality? That's when it happened.
Rita suddenly noticed.
On the bench, the Caro couple, who had received this "conclusive evidence," did not shout triumphantly or angrily.
Instead, he sat stiffly in his seat, his face pale.
It's like being petrified by a poison.
.
Rita squinted, sensing something was amiss.
The next second, I gasped sharply!
"Merlin, no way... Oh my god... The most explosive news of the year...!"
"Knock knock knock!!"
Umbridge slammed his gavel down with a wide smile.
It was as if, in that sudden burst of green light, she could see her smooth career path slowly unfolding.
"Thank you so much for your suggestion, Professor McGonagall. You've provided us with yet another crucial piece of evidence!"
She extended her sausage-shaped finger and pointed it directly at Ethan, who remained silent.
"This vicious criminal has cast an unforgivable curse upon the respected, innocent Mr. Hamburger Caro!"
"Therefore, I am revising the judgment again:"
"According to the laws of the Ministry of Magic, any wizard who uses an Unforgivable Charm against a human is committing a serious crime and will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban Prison! All personal property will be confiscated!"
"Effective immediately, Ethan Vincent will be imprisoned in Azkaban!!"
The loud voice echoed throughout the courtroom.
No one spoke.
Whether it's the trial bench, Professor McGonagall, or the convicted Ethan Vincent.
Professor McGonagall pinched her palm hard.
He was afraid he would burst out laughing in court.
Umbridge was oblivious to the eerie atmosphere in the air; she was still absorbed in her impressive performance.
She took a graceful sip of water and said perfunctorily:
"Do you accept this verdict, Mr. Ethan Vincent?"
Ethan paused for two seconds, lowered his head, and said:
"According to relevant laws and regulations, anyone who uses the three unforgivable curses against another person will be sentenced to life imprisonment by Azkaban and deprivation of all personal property..."
8. "Regardless of his identity, right?"
Umbridge nodded impatiently: "Yes. Don't think you can escape punishment by using your underage status."
I accept this verdict.
"Thump!"
Umbridge made the final decision, oblivious to the hesitant expressions on the faces of the Caro couple.
He shouted excitedly:
"Guilty found!"
"Auror! Immediately send this criminal to Azkaban!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an even louder and more authoritative voice!
"I accept—"
Ethan looked up.
His cobalt blue eyes, like two bright and fiery blue flames, pierced Umbridge in the dock!
Under her clear gaze, she called out, word by word, clearly:
"I accept this sentence for the prisoner, Humbert Carroll!"
Ethan swiftly extended his finger.
Like a sharp arrow, it pointed directly at the wand in Umbridge's hand, causing her to instinctively tremble!
"Look closely, whose wand is that?"
"That's Hamburger Caro's wand!"
"The one who finally unleashed the killing curse was none other than your master's precious son, 'Hampshire Caro'!"
"Mine is here!"
In the public eye.
Ethan pulled a second wand from his pocket!
The wand was light brown and extremely smooth.
Under the bright lights of the courtroom, it shone with a dazzling brilliance!
"Flashback Spell!"
Ethan shouted.
? !
Professor McGonagall turned her head in surprise!
Because she was absolutely certain that the first-grader had never learned or come into contact with this uncommon spell!
Did Ethan learn the spell after hearing it only once?!
A golden light rippled out from the wand.
Countless beautiful and holy golden birds flew out with cries, hovering and dancing above the heads of the crowd like streaks of light.
"Wow, what a wonderful spell!"
"Only a wizard with a pure heart can use this kind of magic."
"Moreover, his strength is extraordinary. That young wizard's control over magic and the amount of magical energy stored within him far surpasses that of his peers—"
"Genius—this year's Hogwarts is truly brimming with talent—"
The reporter, Ha-Rita, suddenly opened her mouth wide, so excited that she almost tore the paper apart.
Even if you're not a prophet, you can clearly see one fact: the next issue of the Daily Prophet will definitely be a bestseller.
Amid the discussions.
Umbridge, holding the gavel, was completely dumbfounded, looking like a giant clam.
His facial expressions changed dramatically, like a Muggle's signal light.
then.
Suddenly realizing something, he turned deathly pale in an instant.
He glanced sideways, cautiously looking to the side.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Caro couple, which had turned as black as the bottom of a burnt-out pot, one could see that they were now a mass of blackened charcoal.
It’s over.
Two words popped into Umbridge's mind.
The once smooth and broad road collapsed in the golden light of justice.
Completely outmaneuvered; they were outmaneuvered.
offstage.
Ethan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and listened quietly to the commotion ahead.
A moment later, he opened his eyes.
Raise your hand.
The murmurs gradually subsided, eventually turning into complete silence.
Countless eyes were fixed on this child who was far beyond his age.
Listen attentively.
