It was the day after and the Wizengamot court room was tense. Selected wizards and witches were allowed in only. Mr. and Mrs. Black were both dressed in black, their faces grim. Besides them was Alphard and Cygnus.
"Who is the chair today?" whispered Mrs. Black.
"The minister himself, Corpumpolus" said Cygnus.
"All rise for the Minister of Magic" a voice rang out.
Corpumpolus, a mid-forties man, was more used to popular issues in the wizarding world and was currently enjoying a good term. He was not prepared for such cases, however he took it as a challenge to himself to turn the situation in his favor.
"Will the Lawyer for the Blacks please present himself" he said.
"Present" said Cygnus.
"Will the ministry appointed lawyer for the muggle, Robert Thomas, please present himself"
"Present" said a woman in her forties. It was the known muggle rights campaigner, Mrs. Potter.
