The Master of Death

The Master of Death
Chapter 15: The Court



The next morning, Harry leaves Ron sleeping in


his bed and went to the kitchen, wearing his new clothes and Death in the


his shoulders. Mr and Mrs Weasley, Sirius, Remus, and Tonks were all sitting in


tabletop. Tonks whistled and wriggled his brows. Today she has hair


blondes. "Harry, you look like a pure-blood heir. I hope


you're not trying to act like that right now."


Meanwhile, Remus looked at him with a strange expression on


her face. Apparently Sirius did not think for too long whether he should


share something.


"Well. We've got Sirius, I think it's quite a drama


for all of us" Harry joked.


Sirius flinched dramatically and stuck his nose out


airborne. Remus grinning. "How dare you Harry James


Potter," Sirius said in a false offended voice, "Dignifying


the head of the noble and ancient families of the Black family. This is not gonna help


your future relationship. I know who wouldn't be invited to


my next meeting. "It's time for Harry to look offended.


Tonks laughed out loud. In his best impressions as a young Draco Malfoy,


Harry snorted pretently and rushed past him without a second glance.


After breakfast, everyone prayed for him and then he


following Mr. Weasley. “Harry, why don't you go-“ Mrs Weasley


pointing at Death as if he didn't know what to call it - “Ularmu-”


“Muram,” Harry told him and Sirius raised eyebrows.


“Why don't you leave Grim here. I reckon


it's not a good idea to take her with you. What if she


getting lost? ”


“Yes, sure," Harry turned to Sirius and grinned mischievously.


"Can you take care of him, as long as I'm gone?" he said and stretched out


his arm. Harry felt the tickle of Death reverberate in his mind, as Sirius


leaning his body as far away from Death as possible.


“Ah, know what? I'll just put it on


flooring. He'll find his way. " Death remains on the ground


for a while and then crept into the shadows, only to


appeared beside Harry in his human form. If Harry's not wrong, then,


he looks more different now. Older, more similar to


Harry was in his twenties and he had changed his nose. He too


wearing a different shirt and trousers. Probably the most


strange of all things.


After they used the long and awkward Muggle way


to go preaching, they finally arrived at the atrium. "Well, yeah,


your trial starts at 9am, so we still have a little more than


another hour," said Mr. Weasley, as they walked past the group


the witch looked busy.


Unlike Mr. Weasley, Harry knew that the ministry had


move his hearing to 8 a.m. They just have time


about fifteen minutes to be on time.


How could he do something about it without


cause too much suspicion? Harry watched closely


the witch passed them. When they stopped in front of the elevator,


a few more people joined their group to wait.


“Everything's fine, Arthur?” The voice came from one


a bearded witch carrying a box. Harry held his breath for a moment. This


it was the only gap he needed. He wanted to laugh at the irony of


what he did to do. He used the same trick, which


he did when talking to Mr. Malfoy. He hid his hand


in the folds of his robe and summoned an older magic wand into his hand.


He looked at the man and then threw an imperius.


A dark urge gripped him as the feeling warmed


dripping in his hand. For a moment, the witch's eyes stared inside


voidness. Thank God Mr. Weasley was busy as he checked the box with


the eyes want to know.


What do you got here? Mr. Weasley asked.


“Oh, no faulty experimental charm, except Arthur?”


"Hm, huh?" Said Mr. Weasley raising his head.


“Do you not have to go down?”


“Why is that?”


“Togret's trial with you. I heard some


people talk. Time and place change, right? One hour


early in the old courtroom. "


"What?!" Mr. Weasley saw


his watch. “Harry! If that's true, we'll just have time around


five minutes. ” He pulled Harry out of the elevator. "Thank you


Bob," he yelled from over his shoulder.


"No problem, Arthur," the bearded witch retorted


yells.


They rushed through the room, but fortunately they did not


I have to run this time. They stopped inside a gloomy passageway. Torches


on the wall was the only light that illuminated his path. Slow voice


I could hear it from the room at the end of the hall. Door's open


widths. At least this time he wasn't late.


"I can't go with you" Mr. Weasley


panting and he stopped and leaned against the wall to get


endorsements.


 


 


“You have to go alone. Good luck, Harry, "Mr


Weasley said, "Now go. " Herry smiled at him and


then turn to the door. He raised his chin and straightened his posture


his body as he walked. Death moved beside him, like a shadow


be silent.


Harry hid all his emotions from his face, as soon as he passed the door .


The voices became silent as he entered. Every face looked at him.


Fifty people in plum color robes, Percy Weasley in front, Fudge in the middle


next to Umbridge and Amelia Bones. He even saw Lucius Malfoy inside


line, close to the door.


The place he occupied marked him as a visitor. Apparently


he won't be allowed to vote, but Umbridge's blackmail is obvious


benefit him. Lucius looked at Harry calmly, as he


raised eyebrows.


A moment later Harry walked to the seat in the middle


chamber. The chain trembled as he sat down, but he wanted them


stopping, his magic flowing at his fingertips almost froze him in place.


Death loomed over him, a sharp grin on his face


challenge everyone to get close, even if they can't see it.


Fudge did not seem too pleased with Harry's presence


punctually. With her tight lips she flung open some papers on the


before him, he finally nodded. “Alright, let's start, because


the defendant has arrived" Fudge said before he looked down to the left.


"Are you ready?”


“Yes, Sir,” says Percy Weasley.


"The disciplinary session on the twelfth of August, concerning


violations of the Reasonable Restrictions Decree of underage magic, as well as statues


international secrecy-" Fudge begins, while Percy's chicken feathers


scraping parchment .- “By Harry Potter, who lives in Privet Drive No. 4, though,


Little Whinging, Surrey .... Interrogator; Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister


Magic; Amelia Susan Bones, Head of Magical Law Enforcement Department; Dolores


Jane Umbridge, First Deputy Minister; Court Writer, Percy Ignatius


Weasley- “The door behind Harry opens and Dumbledore enters, robes and


beard's steaming.


"Defense Testions-"


Harry stood up and cut off Dumbledore, like the headmaster


cutting Fudge.


"Herself."


Surprised whispers filled the room. A rather expression


appreciating in Mr.'s face. Malfoy's. The man leaned forward, the body,


intrigued by Harry's shocking actions. That was one of those moments


rarely, Harry had seen Dumbledore speechless. But


he immediately calmed down.


"Well, this must be surprising" said Dumbledore, as if


not everything was canceled by Harry. "Mr Malfoy, if


You will," said Dumbledore and walked towards him. Malfoy seems to


replying to him demeaningly, yet he made room for


The Principal.


Fudge smiled happily, due to the change that was not


unforeseen. He excitedly flipped through the paper. Room


it became quiet when he started talking again. "Yes .. allegations.


that's." The muttering words disappeared into the background, temporarily


Harry looked at Dumbledore, who was avoiding to look him in the eye.


"-Potter!"


"I'm sorry, if you can repeat your question,"


harry turned away from Dumbledore. Fudge looked upset.


"You're Harry James Potter, living in Little Whinging


surrey?"


"Indeed," said Harry calmly.


"You received an official warning from the Ministry about


magic that breaks the law, is it true?" Fudge.


"Right," said Harry and leaned back in his chair.


"And even so, you cast the spell Patronus two


last week?"


"Yes," said Harry. And he witnessed Death


who began to lurk through the room.


"Knowing, that you're not allowed to cast a spell on


out of school until you're seventeen?"


"It was wrong" said Harry. Fudge has opened


his mouth to continue, but he stopped being surprised when he realized


harry did not give him the expected answer.


“How is it wrong? You admit it yourself. You've already been


warned in advance, therefore you should know about this law,”


he said it was like Harry was stupid.


"The law explicitly states, that a


witches, who are minors are allowed to use magic in situations


certain. Situations in which their own lives or welfare


others were threatened and I found myself in such a position


that," Harry replied recklessly.


"And what threats make you act like


this is?" Amelia Bones asked.


"Dementor" said Harry and no


look up. A slight smirk on his face, he looked at Fudge when all over


the room became quiet. When Fudges and his eyes met, Harry stared at him


with an expressionless face. This only seems to make the minister more


angrier.


"Dementors?" Madame Bones asked, her eyebrows raised


tall. "What does that mean, son?"


"I'd appreciate it, if you wouldn't use it


the term boy, but yes. Two Dementors attacked me and my cousin that night,"


said Harry.


"Aah!" Fudge sneered. "Yes, yeah,


sure do. Dementors. Very smart, very smart. Let us know


that Dementors are responsible for this, when everyone knows clearly,


that they are not visible to the Muggles. "


"There was another witness, next to Dudley Dursley. But I guess I


it can also show my memories tonight," said Harry casually.


"We don't have time to listen to your lies,


Son," said Fudge. Harry's eyes narrowed, but then his expression


unaltered. He stood up and grinned at Fudge, whose brows were furrowed


because confusion. It was the first real emotion Harry showed, though,


ever since he entered the courtroom. Malfoy who became bored during that time


the interrogation, now leaning forward, was once again slightly interested


and Dumbledore looked worried. Harry hesitated to claim


his chair. This will be risky and may lead to more


problems than useful.


It makes more sense to claim it after the trial. Him


already playing into Fudges' hands, by distancing himself from Dumbledore and


therefore his supporters, but to Hell with him. Even if he


found guilty, what will they do? Break stick? Minds


that's ludicrous. And is life without a little risk? Harry just wanted to


see their reaction.


"As you know, Minister," said Harry


as he began to move throughout the room, "The accused were allowed to


present as many witnesses as they want to prove that they


not guilty. But I'm not going to play that game you play.


. This whole trial was just a joke, "said Harry, as he sat down


behind his chair, before he placed his hands on the back of the chair.


"The trial for a little underage magic ..." He grunts. Murmurous


approving sounds rang out among the crowd, before Harry continued.


"But well, while I'm already here, I might as well exercise my rights


to get a seat in Wizengamot. "


Fudge stuttered. The voices were raised and people started


whispered until Fudge finally made the others silent. Surprise moment


his first was replaced by a mixture of anger and mocking expressions. Him


think clearly, that this whole situation is ridiculous. "PLEASE"


he said loudly to drown out the other voices - "This is not coming in


wit. With what right?"


"In my right, as Lord," said Harry. Dumbledores


frowning as if he was trying to remember the law and Malfoy sat down


with new found interest. Next to Fudge, Umbridge cleared his throat


familiar "Chrm chrm.


The sound itself managed to attract various feelings to the


surface. Harry has lost his previous hatred


towards him, he had already become extremely annoyed just by knowing what was


he must face it again.


“I may not understand you very well. I'm ridiculous. Is


You just said, that you - a five-year-old boy


twelve years - want to get a seat in Wizengamot? This is your interrogation


on your own, you cannot choose even if you are not underage, you are,


"he said as if he was talking to someone stupid.


“If you notice, Dolores, you don't have to ask two


kali,” Harry said sweetly and held back a laugh, as he looked at the face


offended the woman. Some people in purple robes


sneered. "In addition, the Wizengamot Scripture of 1597


honorable states that a Ruler may claim his seat at


Wizengamot whenever he wants, as long as he is in contact with one of the


the family mentioned," Harry explained, "That means I can


claim my seat during my hearing. "Fudge lift up


her voice was once again, while Amelia Bones swung her staff. Books


drifting towards him. He snatched it from the air and immediately flipped it over.


"This law must be out of date by now,"


said Fudge, trying to calm the people in the room, who were still


speaking in a soft voice.


“Oh no,” said Harry grinning as he glanced at Malfoy.


“It seems impolite to claim a seat in this way or be


nobility in general after the 18th century. People stop doing it


after a while so Wizengamot never bothered to change


the law though cannot be changed without all the Rulers in Wizengamot


currently agreeing to it, "said Harry and then straightened up the posture


his body. “I, Mr. Potter, heir and the head of the Potter noble family


claim my seat at Wizengamot.” As soon as those words were spoken, Harry


felt ancient magic gathered in the room.


"He was right" said Madame Bones and closed the book,


"A Lord can ask for a seat at Wizengamot" he said


staring at Harry intently, "If His Majesty is authorized by the neutral party, that is


recognized by the international confederation of Magicians, such as the Ministry. "


"Well, Mr. Potter, I don't remember ever seeing a letter


with a request like this on my desk," said Fudge satisfied.


"Neutral side ... Well, of course, the Ministry. Hm,


why didn't I think about this?" Harry said cynically, "If there is


the other neutral party was like - I don't know - ah yes, the only magic bank in


the world. Oh well, there's." Harry looked at the people. Everyone looked at him.


He heard them whisper and asked if it was possible. But there are still


sirius and Peverell. With a quick glance at Dumbledore, Harry


decide that it is better to hide some things for now.


Dumbledore may have noticed that the old magic wand had


vanished. He did not need to confirm his suspicions further. Harry


back to the court. "In addition," Harry let out


an envelope from his pocket in his suit. He unsealed and threw


the letter to the air. It stopped, floating a few feet above Harry's head


so that everyone can see it. The whisper gets louder. Harry grinned.


They really underestimated it, even now. "On behalf of father


my baptism, I claim the seat of the ancient family and the Black nobility, speaks


representing the heir and head of this house, Sirius Black."


Someone in the room squeaked in fear as he called out


it's unacceptable" he pressed with gritted teeth. Meanwhile


Madame Bones called out to the document that floated in the air with the swish of her wand.


He read it, his eyes just glued to a piece of parchment.


"What he said was true" said Madame Bones, still


look at the letter. Fudge turned to her with a swollen chest. Obviously he


expect confirmation of his opinion. "Claim Mr. Potter completely


legal." Fudge breathed air. Harry sat in a chair with a chain and


crossing his ankles, satisfaction was written on his face. Even if


he must be found guilty, this is not in vain. Death stands again


behind him, and Harry felt his hand being dragged around his neck. Everybody


it seemed like it was waiting for Fudge to continue. Even after the voices came down,


the minister was still stumbling through his papers while gritting


his teeth. Percy looked torn and nervous. His eyes shifted


from Harry to Fudge and back.


"I call Arabella Figg my witness" he said


Harry finally, when no one moves to continue the examination.


"Arabella-" Fudge stuttered, before he calmed down


selves. "We don't have time to find this guy" he said


starting up, the veins on his forehead throbbed dangerously.


"Ah, alright," Dumbledore came along


interfering. "Maybe a lucky accident, that Mrs Figg accompanied me


come here today. He's waiting outside the room." Fudge.


Dumbledore seemed as calm as before, but Harry knew that thought was inside


heads circling. Dumbledore's bright magic was agitated and his eyes were behind


his glasses looked at him suspiciously without even once meeting with him


his gaze.


"Weasley, go and get him" said Fudge


after he calmed down.


"Of course the Minister" said Percy and he rushed over


exit to immediately follow the Minister's orders. Harry was almost sorry


him, stay like him. He returned after a while, followed by


Mrs Figg's. He looked at the empty chair and chain nervously, as Harry


stand up and step to the side.


"Full name?" Snapped Fudge and his hands frowned


the paper. He was clearly trying to pretend that everything was fine.


“Arabella Doreen Figg,” said she was nervous.


"And you?"


“I am a citizen of Little Whinging and live close to


Harry Potter.”


“We do not have an entry that says there is a Witch


or any other Witch who lives in Little Whinging, aside from Harry


Potter," said Madame Bones immediately. "The area is closely monitored…


remembering events in the past.”


“True,” murmured Harry with a flat expression, but quite loud


to hear.


"I'm a Squib" replied Mrs Figg, "I guess


You won't have an entry about me" he said as he held


bag tight.


"A Squib, huh?" Fudge said and looked at him.


"We'll check this out. You can leave details about the ancestors


You're on my assistant Weasley. Can Squibs see Dementors?"


"Yes, we can" replied Mrs. Figg.


"Alright," said Fudge condescendingly. "What


your story?"


“I went to the cat food store in the corner. It's around


nine o'clock in the second August. Then I heard


the voices came from the alley.. ”Mrs Figg sounded like he had been training.


everything he said. Harry looked at Dumbledore. He asked me


himself whether the Headmaster asked him to lie. Possibly


Squibs really can't see Dementors ...


An amused smile rang on Harry's lips, as Death began


focus on Fudge, who paled, even if he didn't know what


which bothers. He gripped the table until his knuckles


whitened. Harry grinned as Fudges' eyes passed him. Ministerial


gulped, while Madame Bones interrogated the Madame


Figg. Harry's attention only returned to Madame Bones when Mrs Figg was dismissed.


"He's not a convincing witness" Fudge said immediately.


"Oh, I don't know," replies Madame Bones, "She


describe the effects of Dementor attacks very well. I can't


imagine why he lied. "


“But Dementors are walking around in Muggle city and accidentally


meet with witches?” Fudge snorted, “That should be very not


in all probability. Even Bagman wouldn't bet on this- "


"What makes you think they're there


coincidence?" Harry said and he sat back in the chair in the middle of the room


the trial. Umbridge moves uncomfortably.


“I guess if someone would order two Dementors to


go to Little Whinging, we will get a report on this!” Fudges


he nodded and looked at Harry.


"Well, I'm not saying that this Dementor was ordered


get there by the ministry," said Harry casually, but he observed


fudges' reaction with great care. A year later the bastard pleaded


his attention. "I think Dumbledore told you all about his opinion


about this issue. "


“Indeed, he did. But these ideas are more than


just ridiculous. The Dementors are in Azkaban and just do what


was ordered. ”


"Alright, then I should ask myself


alone, why would someone in the ministry want me dead" he said


Harrys. "It looks like people are afraid I'm going to spread my opinion. But


that's ridiculous, right?" Harry finished and leaned back in his chair,


"Anyway, I'm just a little kid," he added


sarcastic tone.


Satisfied, Harry noticed how Fudge was trying to search


wording. Umbridge even dared to look offended. Subsequent to


harry leaned forward again. “Of course, always


it is possible that these two Dementors are beyond the control of the Ministry.”


“No Dementors out of control!” Fudge immediately replied,


the veins on his forehead were pulsing.


Harry raised his hand. "All right, if you


saying so. I don't want to imply anything. You're correct. The theory that someone


inside the Ministry trying to kill me was much more inbound


wit." Fudge stuttered once more.


Harry glanced at Lucius Malfoy. The man was almost


can't hide the amused taste and some witches too


smilingly. Dumbledore on the other hand looked at Harry strangely.


“We-I-," Fudge stuttered. “We are not here to


discussing Dementor-” behavior


“No,” said Harry. “We are here to hold a conference


because of a simple case of underage magic, which is also normal,” says


Harrys. The witches inside Wizengamot started whispering again, temporarily


Harry watched them.


“May I remind those present that Harry


Potter has broken this law by using three floating spells


last year,” Fudge almost yelled.


"That's the house-elf," Harry casually replied, She


looking amused at how Malfoy shifted in his chair.


"House-god, what a joke. Two years ago


You blew up your aunt - “Malfoy raised his eyebrows. This man is


harry's lifeline in this endless conversation. At least he's kinda


amuses.


“Which ones are removed, by you personally,” says


Harrys. An awkward silence occurred. “Before I wait for your decision,


can I say one more thing?” Harry asked Madame Bones


nodding, when Fudge opens his mouth - of course to disavow


his wish.


Harry stood up and spoke to the whole


Wizengamot. “The Witches and Witches of Wizengamot


honorable. Before you vote, please remember that we


have witnesses who justify my assertion that two Dementors attacked


me and my cousin. The law explicitly states that


underage witches are allowed to use magic in situations where


the life or well-being of yourself or others


imperiled. Dementor attacks will definitely be counted as such situations


that's. " Harry turned to Fudge and bowed with


mocking. "Minister."


The witches started whispering again. Harry sat back down


his chair and wait, until they make a decision.


"Who chose guilt?" Fudge said and


raised his hand, and the others followed his example. Harry stared


Umbridge when she raised her hand, eyes were fixed on her. She's soon


she looked as if there was something in her sight that made her


dreaded. Half the courtroom raised their hands.


"Who shall elect the accused to be declared free from


all charges?" Madame Bones said in a voice


shrill. Arms up. Less than the last time Harry was in


here and not enough. He knows it. Fudge was already grinning fully


triumphs. He had obviously forgotten about the fact that there was someone else who could


reversing verdict. Harry slowly raised his arm. Eye


left Fudges moving. Umbridge leaned forward.


"You can't choose. This is your own court, though,


Son," she said in her feminine voice.


"I can" Harry explained. "If an


Lord claiming the seat, he has an inviolable right to


cast a vote in every trial she wants."


"That's right" said Madame Bones, the book she called


it was still open in front of him. Fudges' eyes looked at the hand


uplifted.


"With your voice, it's still not enough, son," said


Fudge happily and clicked his tongue.


"I also chose on behalf of Sirius Black," Now


it's time for Harry to grin. "The Black family holds claims over two


the seat, which means, my second vote is counted twice as much." Madame


Bones leaned over to Fudge and whispered something, while he did not


he did nothing, but looked at Harry. She's trembling.


"Alright," Fudge began, his voice strained because


restrained anger, "stated free of all charges."


The tension slowly begins to dissipate, but Harry is not done yet.


“Because I am here and allowed to speak on behalf of


Sirius Black, I demand a trial in his case,” said Harry and pulled


the attention of the witches, even those already standing, to go. will know,


if I'm not told about the trial. ”Then Harry turned around and


go, Death followed in his footsteps.


Outside, a pale Mr. Weasley was waiting. "And


how'd it go?"


"Free of all costs" replied Harry.


"That's cool!" Mr. Weasley said and gripped


harry's shoulder. "They can't plead you guilty not to


all the evidence-" The door to the courtroom is open and people enter.


"Merlin's beard, did the entire court gather here to


decide your case?"


"Yes" said Harry. Some people look at him


strangely. The others did not even notice him, but instead greeted


Arthurian. Dumbledore nodded at Mr. Weasley and walked past them


with furrowed eyebrows. Mr. Fudge and Umbridge were one of those people


the last one to leave the courtroom, next to Malfoy, was speaking


with Fudge. The minister rushed past Harry not giving him a look


second but Malfoy stopped him. "See you later, then,


Minister?" Fudge looked between him and Harry.


"I'll wait in Lucius' office" said Fudge


leaving, the pink frog followed him. Lucius turned to Arthur with


a look of disdain but then his gray eyes were on Harry. Exists


a little curiosity in his eyes. Harry did not back down but responded


stared. Mr. Weasley stiffened. He just saw Percy walking


past them.


"It's amazing how you managed to get out of


the biggest difficulty .. is like a snake" Malfoy said.


Harry tilted his head and smiled dangerously as he looked


Malfoy's. "Four weeks is enough time to change. You just scratch


surface, Mr. Malfoy," whispered Harry as Mr. Weasley stared at Percy.


"I think I'm probably a little more active, politically speaking.


Exchange a few words with some old friends. Maybe even Tom, acquaintance


my old. He's got some interesting ideas, but I think you won't


knew him. He was named after his father, a Muggle, you know. My


don't know if you've ever experienced something like our relationship. It's like


we are soul mates, "said Harry, grinning at the irony


hidden," But I'm perverted. The minister may have been waiting for you,


Mr. Malfoy. I don't want you to look disrespectful by letting it be


waiting too long. "


"Yes Potter, thank you for the insight in life


your love," said Malfoy, his eyes staring momentarily at Harry's neck, where


Death appeared and crept from his collar, black scales swallowing


the light. Then Lucius looked at Mr. Weasley. "Weasley's."


"Malfoy," Ron's father replied with the same expression


disgustedly.


 


 


"What are you doing here, Weasley?" Malfoy


inquiring.


“I work here,” says Arthur.


"But not here, right. I thought you were on the second floor, though,


smuggling Muggle artefacts into the house and mesmerizing them" Malfoy said.


"No," sizzled Mr. Weasley. He gripped his shoulder


Harry was tight until Malfoy disappeared. "Is Malfoy in


your trial?" his tanya still sounded a bit angry. Harry


nods.


"By the way, who's that Muggle boy you mentioned


this is?" Mr. Weasley asked, when they had reached the Atrium,


"Tom, I mean." Harry grinned.


"Oh, it's nobody. I just want Malfoy to know where


I stand in this war. I'm not stupid enough to tell someone


Death Eaters about people I like. Who knows what will


voldemort did, if I tell him about a real person, I don't


wanna hurt? " Herry barely hid his laughter.


"You may be very clever" said Mr. Weasley. Harry


grinning beside Death. None of the two men


totally understand. To Mr. Weasley it sounds, like he has been


telling Malfoy about a close friend - a delusion - which is


a muggle or a muggleborn. Malfoy may have thought, Harry


is a teenager who is intoxicated in love and that she still supports her side


brightest. There is hope, that Malfoy cares enough about this information and


will tell Voldemort about Harry Potter's new 'weak spot. The only


the only one who could tell what he was really talking about was Dumbledore and


Voldemort himself.


When they arrived at Grimmauld Place everyone grinned


wide, when Mr. Weasley announced, that he was declared free of all charges.


"I know it's Harry, it's the only result


maybe," said Hermione, clearly relieved and with trembling hands.


"He's free, he's free, he's free" Fred and George


sing, as they begin to dance around the table.


"... it was clear after Dumbledore came in, they didn't


you can plead guilty" said Ron, overcoming the noise. Harry


raised his eyebrows, but remained silent and resisted the urge to


laughingly. "Maybe he'll even come and party with


we are," said Ron.


"He's free, he's free, he's free ...," the twins


singing, now followed by Ginny.


"I doubt Dumbledore has time for that" Mrs said


Weasley, putting a plate with a giant chicken in front of Harry, Ron and


Hermione. "He's very busy at the moment."


"HE'S FREE, HE'S FREE, HE'S-"


"SILENCE!!!,"


shouted Mrs Weasley. Harry grinned. There is hope, that the plan


succeeds. Voldemort needs people in the Ministry and with


inviting Malfoy to his trial, he gave them a way to attack


Wizengamot with silver plate. Almost every family is pure blood


can claim a seat. Now he just has to wait and


see how it will turn out later.


It will definitely be an interesting change.
