Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/11782884/16/Reiter stood up. "I object, Madam Chief Witch. My client and I contend that this body - the Wizengamot - has lost, if not outright abrogated, its authority. This body no longer has the right to order a cup of tea, much less order my client to do something."
This was pure gold for the reporters; "order a cup of tea" indeed - Reiter certainly had a way with words!
"The hearing on the 27th of February ended on what can only be termed an utterly shameful note for governance and the rule of law in general, and for the Wizengamot in particular.
A sitting Chief Warlock decided to unilaterally take action that no one else thought he had a right to, without giving us any reason at all. The clear and unambiguous message was that 'might is right', and that the opinion of this body does not count."
He paused and took a breath.
"The dictionary defines 'sedition' at least partly as 'an illegal action inciting resistance to lawful authority'. One could make the argument that Dumbledore merely resisted lawful authority, and did not, in fact, incite anyone to. But because he is the sitting Chief Warlock, his actions are deemed to be exemplary, and therefore this action is sedition.
If this body is to get back its legitimacy, it must first try Dumbledore for sedition. Until then, it has no right to impose its will on any of its citizens."
