Pablo gave Sean a cold glance. He showed his victorious face. The others present were also human beings, and they immediately thought of it after noticing Draco's facial expression.
Professor McGonagall glanced at Sean with a complicated expression. Professor Bagman frowned. Of course, he knew Draco, but he didn't expect this kid to do Sean such a favor. He didn't rush into the huge feeling of being cheated, but he took a half step back from Sean.
Grindelwald's expression didn't change. He stretched out his hand lazily, "Mr. Malfoy, your wand."
Draco's face paled even more; he gripped his wand tightly and looked at Sean.
"I have the right to keep my wand unchecked. I'm not breaking any law." Draco is trying to defend himself.
Grindelwald said, "Now we are conducting an investigation. Regardless of whether it is the Ministry of Magic or the International Confederation of Wizards, they have the right to inspect wizards' wands, including the use of Reverse Spell."
"But it's my right to privacy." Draco continued biting the bullet.
Grindelwald glanced at Pablo, touched his chin, and then curled up the corners of his mouth, "If the Reverse Spell showed no problem, then the MacFusty family will compensate you."
"Of course, sir!" Pablo exclaimed.
Grindelwald spreads his hands, "Mr. Malfoy is an accomplice in a series of illegal activities such as the theft of dragons, the accident of domesticating dangerous animals without permission, and so on. I could personally send him to the courtroom."
"I have no problem with that." Pablo immediately agreed.
It's useless to send Draco to prison, but he can use the laws of the Ministry of Magic to hit his father hard. Hearing the discussion between the two, Draco's face turned completely pale, and his lips twitched twice as if he wanted to say a few more words.
However, Grindelwald didn't give him a chance to speak again. He waved his hand lightly, and his wand came out of his hand.
"Well, it's for justice." Grindelwald threw Draco's wand to Pablo.
Pablo's eyes lit up. His biggest worry was that Grindelwald was biased. After all, there were rumors that Sean Wallup was Gellert Grindelwald's student.
"Mr. Chairman, you are still as fair as ever." He flattered and glanced at Sean provocatively.
However, he didn't see any panic or gloom on his face. He even squinted slightly and leaned against the wall to take a nap.
Sean's appearance made him a little uncertain, but he quickly straightened his mind. He is smart; he just wanted to use this posture to show his innocence.
"Prior Incantanto."
The frequency of spells by school students is not much, and few people use magic spells other than in class. After a few small spells, suddenly, a spell stood out.
The scene of the spell can be seen. In everyone's eyes, a piece of thin golden hair appeared, and a thick layer of potion was smeared on it.
"A Hair Thickening Charm combined with Harry's Magic Shampoo..." Sean couldn't help laughing.
Draco's face was flushed. He gave Sean a vicious look and turned his hatred toward Pablo. Pablo ignored them, but a bad feeling rose in his heart.
He held his breath and continued to scroll around. Soon, a person appeared. It was Hugo, and his wand was shaking. Just as Draco shot a curse, Ludo appeared, followed by Sean. Ludo's eyes widened. He saw Sean turning his head slightly to notice the curse. He pushed him away, but the curse unfortunately hit him.
Only Sean's face, half kneeling on the ground, remained in the scene.
Pablo froze in place.
"How, how is it possible?" He murmured absentmindedly.
Ludo immediately said, "Mr. Grindelwald, I just said that he is innocent. He has suffered this curse for me, and this man is completely framed and slandered!"
Grindelwald waved his hand, stopped the spell, and returned the wand to Draco.
He chuckled, "Now the result is out."
Pablo was confused, "This is impossible... He must have secretly used the Protego Charm..."
Professor McGonagall couldn't help it anymore. She yelled angrily, "Do you really think that everyone present is blind? You slandered my students that much, and I must hold you accountable."
Sean, holding back his laughter, was stared at by Draco again. He covered his mouth and patted his shoulder. When he raised his head again, his eyes were slightly red, and his face was full of grief and anger.
"His privacy is violated like this." He pointed at Draco.
"And so do I, my dignity, my reputation is tainted." Sean shook his fist and raised his head.
"I didn't make excuses and obeyed all the process. Now, the facts are laid out. Your words are insulting."
"Should a person go through this kind of stuff?"
Sean's words were resounding. Only Draco was trying his best not to look at him with contempt.
Ludo put his arm around Sean's shoulder, "Don't worry, Sean. I will definitely help you get justice!"
He felt sorry for his suspicion just now.
Professor McGonagall also sighed, "Sean, the professor didn't protect you well..."
Sean laughed, "It's not your fault. Because some people are relying on their own rights to oppress an ordinary student."
Grindelwald couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand, "Alright, this is the end of it."
"Sean and Mr. Malfoy, you can go back. As for the MacFusty's..."
He glanced at Pablo. Pablo shuddered, instinctively wanting to repent or make more excuses. But Grindelwald's calm made him chill all over.
He lowered his head dejectedly, "I'm sorry...I will notify the head of the family..."
"Go." Grindelwald waved his hand casually.
When the members of the family left in a daze, Sean calmed down.
"Come with me." Grindelwald waved his hand.
"Oh, okay."
They walked slowly, and after a certain distance, Grindelwald sneered and turned to look at him.
"You planned it quite well."
Sean spread his hands. He didn't need to pretend in front of Grindelwald.
"I discussed it really well. Besides, I am not stealing dragons. The Hebridean dragons are not owned by the MacFustys at all. They just happened to live in the dragons' habitat. They consider themselves the managers of the dragons' herd, but in their eyes, they are just a group of humans. They have known each other for a long time, and they occasionally provide food. That's all."
Grindelwald laughed loudly, "That's right. This family has been passed down and always likes to regard themselves as the masters of everything, and they are superior to others. However, did you actually leave some flaws for Pablo to see in your plan?"
Sean blinked innocently: "No."
He said honestly, "Well, I did it on purpose."
Grindelwald laughed happily, "Even though you will know the result later?"
Sean nodded, "My original intention was to have a small conflict with everyone, and I know you must have guessed my thoughts. When I went to discuss it with Draco, I showed some flaws. The MacFusty family has a connection with the Durmstrangs. Draco and I were with a fifth-year student from Durmstrang. They might've snitched it."
"What about the curse?"
Sean stretched out a hand and swung a blue "yo-yo" out of it. "It's true that I was hit by the curse. But if Dave took the bullet, then I guess I didn't get hit much."
Grindelwald waved his hand in disgust, "Put it away. I hate magical animals."
He stroked the short beard on his chin: "I didn't notice this before. Well, now there is a reason for me to visit the MacFusty family."
Putting Dave back into the inner pocket, Sean leaned against the wall, "They won't resist, will they?"
Grindelwald smiled faintly, "I hope they'd better resist."
----
On the same day, the family members left, and Grindelwald also left the school the next day. The news that Sean was wronged spread, and many people came to comfort him.
Of course, Daisy and Hermione wouldn't believe this, especially if he actually had two dragons in his ring.
"I knew it was you when I heard the Hungarian Horntail dragon," Daisy said proudly.
Hermione tapped Daisy's head with a book, "Keep your voice down."
Daisy stuck out her tongue, glanced at the other people at the long table, leaned closer, and whispered, "Can you take me to ride a real dragon next time?"
"No problem." Sean smiled and agreed.
Hermione gave the two of them a blank look, "Sean, you spoil her too much."
"There are two dragons. Wouldn't you want it too?"
"I mean, since you said so."
Professor McGonagall came over from the Hall.
"Okay, everyone," she stood among the students. The Yule Ball is coming, a traditional part of the tournament and a great opportunity for us to mingle with foreign guests. Well, the Ball is only open to students from the fourth year and above, though you can invite a junior if you wish to."
The students were excited, especially the girls and Lavender let out a smirk, and Parvati poked her hard.
