Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? Ash played with her wand, drawing it from her holster and twirling it between her fingers like that younger student had taught her to do. It usually helped her concentrate on the topic at hand, unless of course she dropped it. "The Wizengamot is older than the ministry, but younger than the wizard's council. It's, like, the supreme court for wizards, or something similar to that. Like Noah said, they usually only take cases that are complicated, controversial, or important." She put her wand back in the holster, looking very very deep in thought. Because... Did the court ever take on a meaningless case because of corruption, or because they thought it was important, or... oh, and also, what's the popular opinion of the Wizengamot... do they set precedent for future cases... who decides who's a part of the wizengamot... why...
So... yeah. Ash wasn't lost in thought. She was lot in thoughts. Way too many thoughts.
Ash refocused on the room around her. Were they going to be reenacting a historical trial, or simulating a fake one? She bet on the first one. Had this question been answered already?
Ash got lost again. |
