The stage is divided into two scenes. One is the Wizengamot courtroom, where a harassed-looking Fudge, backed by his ministers, is struggling to explain to the wizarding press and the rest of the Ministry about Amelia Bones� death. The other set is of The Leaky Cauldron, where many ordinary witches and wizards are gathered, worriedly discussing the event.
