Zabini, II - Daphne makes a stand
Her eyes caught Blaise's but she had not been speaking to the Wizengamot member and after giving the most smallest of head nods, her jaw tight, in his direction as if to say she would not be silent her focus turned to the woman sitting so high and mighty. "Ma'am, no disrespect was made to you. I was commenting to this woman here that spoke first against me." Her tone was not respectful even as she kept the words as such.
"We are a gallery of viewers and that woman cannot make a statement against him without knowing him, that knows nothing of him or who he is; or for that matter who Theodore Nott is--as for the Wizengamot, my hope is that you have all done a thorough investigation in this immensely short amount of time and are not merely finding scape goats while real criminals are out on the streets causing true problems, while these two men sit in a cell that will not effect the outcome at all." She was furious and the further she went the more it became obvious that she was.
