Emof Retrial

Khaat arrived early at the first trial that she would preside over as Chief Warlock. She was dressedin the traditional black robes, and was ready for business. She brought the necessary forms and paperwork with her and a magical quill. She took the appropriate seat and began double checking the rules of order and various forms, more as a preparation for her own mind than anything else.

She knew Ne'Os, but she never did fully know or understand the circumstances that had gotten him into trouble in the past. She knew his agenda was to clear his name. She had been in other Wizengamot trials where she knew things had not been dealt with fairly, but as long as she was Chief Warlock, she was going to do her level best to be sure that didn't happen on her watch. If he proved to be innocent, she would support clearing him. If the evidence did not support that, she would not support clearing him. And since he was requesting the re-hearing, she was hoping he had some sort of new evidence and that he was not simply regurgitating old information.

As she sat, preparing for the trial, she secretly wanted to be able to set a few new traditions--one of the being that they would finally allow coffee in the courtroom. She knew she would be a bit more tolerant of the whole business with a large french roast on her courtroom desk. She smiled slightly thinking of how that would curl some hair at the deviation from tradition.

Jack walked into the coart room and looked around he saw Khaat and walked over to her he knew she was cheif warlock , he tugged and pulled at th robes he wore this was his first offical duty as a wizagmot member and he still was not sure of what he was suposed to do here . He knew it was Ne'os who was on trial and he had to keep his emotions in check of this he knew about the murders he was suposed to have done but jack kept an open mind about it thinking he should hear the man out before making harsh decishions, one reason he was there now.

Gabrielle just finished giving instructions to Richard Morgan when she made her way to the courtroom to wait for members of Wizengamot,her aurors and Ne'Os to arrive.She carried her notebook in case she needed to write down.This was the first time she was on a trial in the role of a jury member,but after all she was the one who asked Khaat to re-open this trial considering there was some new info on it. "Good morning Khaat and ... I am sorry i didn't have a pleasure to meet you yet." she said as she turned to the man that had arrived with Khaat.

Gabrielle took a sit left from Khaat as she was basiclly only a side spectator though she would ask questions and count the votes,but nothing else hoping her aurors would be here on time.

Jack watched a woman walk in his eye caught the note book held in her hands she walked over to Khaat and spoke then looked at him "Jack black heart, Ex Auror " he said looking at her "and your Gabrielle Delacour, Head of Law Enforcers and substitute Minister of Magic " he said hoping she would understand he was not unprepered and knew his business.

Gabrielle looked as the man actually knew everything about her. "Ex,Auror.Oh yeah i remember you know though i never had much talk with you.I am glad i don't need to introduce myself." she replied as she spoke to him across Khaat. "So you are a member of Wizengamot now?You were good auror i hate to have lost you.But Khaat here got you so i'll have to accept it.Anyway Morgan went to bring Emof just for information sake." she said as she hoped others would start coming.

"That's because I'm super speedy at snatching up good help when I see it," Khaat joked, laughing. "Besides, think of it this way, Gabrielle. You're not losing an Auror. You're gaining a really effective Wizengamot member. I think a man of his skills will be priceless on this panel. He will perhaps see things that I won't. That's why I was looking for a variety of talents and expertises in this group. Oh, and if you see anything I should do better or differently, I do look forward to your feedback today, Gabrielle. It can only help us both if this group starts setting a reputation for itself as being effective, fair, and just."

"You really know to make me laugh.But anyway i'll be leaving one of my posts sooner or later if Minsiter comes back.Though i haven't heard a word from him like he dissappeared." Gabrielle replied with a laughter. "And i am only here for more votes.I sent notification to my aurors though Headmaster never really payed much attention to my notifications so.." she said rooling her eyes since it was public that Majere liked to defie Gabrielle.

Jemma walked into the room. She hadn't dressed this formally in a long, long time. She had only joined the Wizengamot a few days ago, and she was already being summoned to court! She hadn't expected this and wasn't prepared at all.

I hope I can just watch, as I'm totally not sure what I'm supposed to be doing. I'll just follow Khaat, I think. Yes, follow Khaat, that seems like it will work.

Jemma took a seat down by the others, smiled and greeted everyone politely. She wasn't very sure on how formal she was supposed to be, so didn't take her chances. She really needed this job. She didn't have anything else.

[[OOC: Mari, shall we assume this is AFTER the thread with Jemma and Gabrielle in Streets of London, as it started first?]]

"Good morning, Jemma," Khaat smiled. "Thank you for coming. I'm glad you could join us, and on such short notice too. Do you know everyone here? I presume you know Gabrielle. Do you know Jack Black Heart?"

[[OOC:Yeah,but make sure you don't mention that you are Wizengamot member there..]]

Gabrielle looked as Jemma walked into the courtroom.Was the side-watching allowed. "Jemma!! Huh what are you doing here i thought this was a closed trial?" she asked as she looked from Jemma to Khaat. "Okay this is becoming weirder all the time.Am i on the right trial?" she thought for herself as she got ink and quil and placed it in front of her in order to take some notes during the trial.
