Chapter 19

A moment

"Azazel Bellum, you are here for the investigation on the attack in the Malfoy manor." Said the minister as Azazel sat on the chair, bored. All eyes were on her. In the group of people witnessing she could see Abraxas' father and a few other knights' parents.

"Get to the point" the minister frowned at her behaviour and fixed his half moon glasses. "Did you and your friends fight Grindelwald when he attacked the manor with his troops?"

"Yes."

"You do know that you children are not supposed to use your magic outside of school right?"

"Yes."

"Any explanation for that?"

"It was self defence. And why are you even questioning us, the children?! Where did all the supposed adults go? They ran for their lives while their children fought a monster." Azazel said with blazing eyes as she threw dirty looks to all the people in the court room.

"Where did the aurors go?!"

The minister frowned and ignored her questions.

"Where did you all disappear to after the attack?"

" I don't have to tell you."

"You have to Miss Bellum. All we have on you is that you are an orphan and that Dumbledore brought you to Hogwarts. We don't have information on you or about what you were doing before that. Also, you used dark magic, very dark. All these are enough reasons to take you into custody."

Azazel chuckled and crossed her legs and sat comfortably on the chair. She ran a hand through her hair as she looked around the crowd and just now noticed that her friends were there too. Probably were investigated before her. Tom did not look pleased at all. He was glaring at everyone and Azazel threw him a smile.

"Try. I'll have my lawyer talk to you. You don't have any evidence against me. I didn't commit any crime. You can't even stop me if I walked out now. I know the rules. All you can do is arrest some 15 year olds and question them for saving themselves and the so called adults who were supposed to take care of them." Azazel challanged and the minister sighed. "Aren't you people responsible for this attack? Did you catch anyone who attacked the manor? Grindelwald? Or atleast the lowest ones in his ranks?" She paused and looked at the jury for an answer but all they did was avoid her gaze.

"That's a no then. So what are you doing her arresting children and showing your power that is useless when it comes to actual problems?" Azazel scoffed and pointed at the minister and the jury "You all will deal with my lawyer and the media." Azazel stood up and walked towards the exit, turning her back on everyone.

"I suggest you not leave Miss Bellum!" The minister said in frustration and Azazel only put her middle finger up gaining gasps.

"

Leave me alone!" Azazel screamed at the cameras flashing at her and tried moving past them to reach the Hogwarts express.

"How did you fight Grindelwald single handedly?!" One of the reporters asked and Azazel wanted to punch him in the face for almost pushing her.
