I Recommend Shooting Her on the Spot!

Although Umbridge was unmarried, he was no novice driver and quickly grasped the meaning behind William's words.

Her face flushed red, and she angrily shouted, "You...!"

William didn't even look at her, and said loudly:

"And you, Miss Granger, what were you doing at the Ministry of Magic back then?"

"Missandei Habsburg and I have found Gregorovitch and are preparing to take him out."

William raised his hand and said, "I can testify to this. I was fighting the North Sea Kraken at the time and needed Gregorovitch."

They then dispatched Granger and another Austria witch to the Ministry of Magic to find Gregorovitch.

"Your words cannot be considered evidence because you are the defense attorney," Fudge retorted loudly.

"Of course, but I have other witnesses, such as the Auror from the Ministry of Magic when Granger was extracting Gregorovitch."

For example, that Austria witch...

"What do you want with Gregorovitch?" Scrimgeour asked.

William shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, we can't say..."

"What can't be said? Or is this all just nonsense you're making up?" Fudge shouted.

William helplessly shrugged.

"Minister, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but this matter has been classified as top secret by Dumbledore, the Supreme Mugwump... You have no right to know."

Not high enough level!

I dare to say it, but do you dare to listen? Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the International Confederation of Wizards?

Is it, Madam Umbridge, the United Kingdom representative?

Fudge looked at Umbridge, Umbridge shook his head with a confused expression.

William said "Oh" again, as if he had just remembered, and said in a drawn-out voice, "I forgot... you were in the hospital those few days and couldn't attend the conference, so you didn't know about this."

He mimicked Professor Snape, saying in a sarcastic tone:

"But, really?"

No other representatives informed you afterwards.

"That's a real shame. You don't seem to be very popular."

Umbridge clenched his fists, veins bulging on his face.

She missed a few days of meetings, and when she inquired about the meeting content afterward, everyone gave her vague answers, while the meeting minutes were sealed away.

To find out what the meeting was about, she had to find Chairman Dumbledore... but fearing humiliation, she didn't go.

I never expected to miss such an important event.

William concluded, "In short, Gregorovitch was incredibly important in that North Sea Kraken attack."

Granger's task at the time was to bring Gregorovitch out.

This is why she received the Order of the Double-Headed Eagle... she truly made a great contribution."

William removed a medal from Hermione's clothes and showed it to everyone.

"But then another problem arises: in such an urgent situation, there was no way she would have initiated an attack on the United Kingdom representative."

So, who struck first?

Miss Granger, please answer.

"Umbridge struck first," Hermione said. "She brought three Auror and tried to capture me."

Missandei can be my witness!

Umbridge roared, "You're talking nonsense..."

William interrupted her, looked around, and said:

"Granger was carrying out a very important mission at the time, one that even concerned the safety of Vienna."

Can we conclude that Umbridge intentionally tried to obstruct this operation?

What intriguing relationship does she have with Voldemort, who released the North Sea Kraken?!

Therefore, I will specifically file a complaint with the International Confederation of Wizards and request a full investigation into her!

Upon hearing Voldemort's name, a collective gasp of terror filled the jury.

Umbridge was furious. William's unreasonable and accusatory remarks were clearly an attempt to escalate the situation.

"I didn't intentionally stop it. After Grindelwald disappeared, Granger and you ran away; you are suspects!"

I just want to bring her to justice..."

"So you admit you started it?!" William shouted.

Umbridge bit her lip, and said indignantly, "I said she was a suspect! I just wanted to arrest her and send her back to the United Kingdom for questioning."

"Look..." William said to Scrimgeour, "I have just proven that Umbridge struck first."

I now present physical and witness evidence to prove that Granger was forced to retaliate only when his life was threatened.

Scrimgeour nodded and said, "Of course, according to the Wizengamot Charter of Rights, the defendant has the right to call witnesses to testify on his behalf."

"Very good." William glanced at the time and said, "They should have arrived by now using the Portkey. I wonder..."

"Weasley, you go," Fudge said rudely to Percy.

Percy immediately stood up and ran down the stone steps from the judge's bench.

About twenty minutes later, Percy returned, followed by a wizard and several Auror, with a witch who didn't show much expression at the very end.

Many jurors stood up and stared at the man. Fudge's mouth dropped open.

He really didn't expect... this person would actually travel all the way to the United Kingdom to testify for Granger.

This is outrageous!

William approached Austrian Ministry of Magic Soros, extended his hand, and shook his.

"Thank you so much for coming here to testify."

Minister Soros sighed and said, "Hurry up, things are very busy in Vienna. I specifically set aside half an hour for you."

William winked at Missandei again and smiled, "Long time no see."

Missandei nodded and whistled softly. William felt the Golden Snidget hidden on him immediately run into Missandei's clothes.

These traitors!

Scrimgeour asked, "May I ask the identity of the witness...?"

"My name is Missandei Habsburg, and I am a wizard from Austria."

That day, Granger and I took Gregorovitch with us, but on the way, we were suddenly attacked by Umbridge and his men.

Hermione told me to leave first; she stopped these people.

"You're lying..." Umbridge said angrily. "We didn't even lay a hand on you before you left."

William approached Umbridge and asked, "Excuse me, Madam Secretary, where is your wand?"

"What?"

"I think... you heard me clearly, I'm asking where your wand is."

Umbridge sensed something was amiss and looked at Fudge, saying, "Minister, this is getting off-topic."

"I'll allow him to continue," Scrimgeour said.

"Thank you, Director." William pulled out a letter.

"Here is a letter from Mr. Ollivander. He tells me that Madam Umbridge recently went to him to have a second wand made."

"Excuse me, where is your first wand?"

"Lost on the way to Vienna!"

"Is this the one?" William held up a wand and said, "This is Umbridge's wand."

No one else was casting spells besides her.

We can use the Prior Incantato to check which spells Umbridge used on Miss Granger.

Umbridge stood up in horror. Didn't she know what spells she had used?

The last one is the Unforgivable Curses!

"The wand was lost long ago; you stole it!" Umbridge protested.

"Whatever magic appears inside, it could be you framing me; there's no way to prove I used it."

William said confidently, "I knew you'd say that."

Soros stood up from his chair and explained, "We found this wand at the scene of the battle and it has been sealed away in the Austrian Ministry of Magic ever since."

William had never encountered this before, and I vouch for it as minister; no one else has used it either!

Minister Soros's words can certainly serve as evidence, which is why William invited him here.

"Then, you there, please use the Prior Incantato on this wand." William pointed at Percy and tossed the wand to him.

Percy hesitated for a long time. He looked at Fudge, then at William, before finally raising his wand and saying, "Prior Incantato!"

The Cruciatus Curse emanated from the tip of the wand, its unique light emanating from it.

The jury officials were in an uproar.

Since the Cruciatus Curse is called unforgivable, it must never be used under any circumstances.

Umbridge, a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, knowingly violated the law.

William smiled and said:

Article 7 of the "Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery" states that magic can be used under special circumstances.

Those special circumstances include when the life of the wizard himself, or that of other wizards or Muggle present at the time, is threatened...

He walked to the front of the platform and addressed the wizards:

Hermione Granger was undoubtedly threatened by the Unforgivable Curses, which is why she had no choice but to rebel.

Think about it, if she hadn't resisted, she might be the one lying on the ground.

Thus, the rescue efforts in Vienna were also delayed.

William raised his hand and shouted:

"I hereby formally file this complaint against Umbridge as the representative of the plaintiff, the wizard Hermione Granger:"

First, she deliberately hindered Granger's Vienna rescue efforts, nearly causing incalculable damage.

I suspect she's Death Eaters spy!

Secondly, the Unforgivable Curses was used, and the target was an underage witch, a famous witch who had received numerous honors.

I suggest that Umbridge be shot on the spot!

Umbridge, panting heavily, collapsed in her seat, unable to catch her breath.

I stayed up until midnight yesterday, so I'm really sorry for the late update. I know I'll get scolded for leaving out chapters, so I'll release both chapters together.
