The trials of both Severus and Sirius were sealed to the Wizengamot early in the day, thanks to some elegant manipulation, and Dumbledore had been caught off guard. Locked outside the chamber while they, and other agents deemed too sensitive to expose, were dealt with, he could clearly be heard raging in a manner most unlike his usual benevolent self-image. Sadly the Press were also kept far away from the Courtroom, and so was missed a wonderful opportunity to tarnish his image, but some things were more important. These cases needed to be heard and sealed under Goblin Fidelius before the majority of the Members could be allowed in.
In the cases of Magic v Snape and Magic v Black, the Letters of Authorisation were enough to vacate all charges of Belonging To and Working For a Terrorist Organisation and of Treason To Her Majesty's Wizarding Nation. For their roles undercover the two men found themselves the recipient each of an Order Of Merlin, First Class; however these were also recorded under Fidelius. The generous stipend, however went straight into their vaults, leaving Severus, at least, financially secure for the first time in his life. Letters of Commendation were lastly entered into their Service record, and Severus wept in gratitude as the final layers of the Dark Mark were dissolved from his skin by Breaker Gracklewrat. The blood he now shared with his bond mates, blood that circulated through Harry's veins and Sirius' Mark, would maintain and augment the child's protection, while any werewolf blood linked to Remus would similarly be unable to physically harm him. While Lily's sacrifice had undoubtedly protected Harry from harm, only those involved in the adoption knew that the ritual had already ensured any direct physical attack Voldemort attempted on him could not kill him. The inadvertent Horcrux would not do so either, although potentially it could still cause horrendous mental and emotional harm if left alone.
Sirius, of course, had opted to retain his Mark both for this reason and to enable reinsertion should Voldemort be restored, but Griselda Marchbanks, the Chief Witch of the Wizengamot, saw fit to award him permanent use of an elf stone, planted under his skin, to anchor a deeper glamour. By 7:30 am the files were sealed and in Goblin hands, and the two wizards flooed out of the Chamber.
The Moot Doors were ceremoniously opened, and a coldly furious Dumbledore stalked in, robes swirling, to gaze in suspicion at the empty Hall. By 8:15am the seats in the Chamber were unusually filled, and the mood was grim. All wands had been Limited in recognition of the high tempers in the room, and Dark Detectors were active throughout the room and outside all outer walls.
At the central podium, the Ministry's Senior Interrogator Bartemious Crouch paced back and forth, his face like thunder. A hard man, Crouch was evidence to all that 'Light' was not synonymous with 'likeable'; he had refused to be recused when his son was brought in with the LeStrange brothers, though his wife was reportedly in St Mungo's under sedation. No-one envied him his role.
The Chief Witch of the Wizengamot filed in, accompanied by the Goblin Recorder and the two Elders of the Wizengamot. Below their seats the Interrogators took their places, and the Moot Doors were sealed.
The Accusation Chair rose from the floor, a chained Lucius Malfoy imprisoned firmly within. A murmur rippled through the room at the sight of the usually impeccable Malfoy, clearly wearing the clothes he was taken captive in, and there were a couple of quickly suppressed cries of 'shame' from the back of the room. Behind the chair, and out of his eyeline, sat Narcissa Malfoy, her back held as rigid as his. The Wizangamot Pensieve shimmered into place, and the first Interrogator stepped forward.
"This document submitted under Oath contends that Lucius Malfoy has been held under the Imperius Curse for two years, covering the period he claims to have been falsely inducted into the Order of Death Eaters, a banned Terrorist Organisation. As such Lord Malfoy requests of the Wizengamot that all charges pertaining to his activities while controlled by persons unknown should be discharged, and that in recognition of his stain-free honour, he be allowed to resume his affairs in perfect Liberty. Lord Malfoy also wishes to make reparations in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Galleons to redress any ills done without his knowledge or consent."
The file was entered into the record, and passed to the Elders and Chief Witch Marchbanks for their inspection. Dumbledore signalled to be heard.
"Chief Marchbanks, Elders, Members; I would like to propose that, given the gravity of the offences to be heard in these trials, that the use of Veritaserum be mandated for all accused and Witnesses."
There was consternation in the Chamber.
"Objection!", snapped Interrogator Parkinson. "The chair is spelled to compel truth!"
"But not", replied Dumbledore, "infallibly so. A skilled Occlumens such as myself could well evade a Compulsion charm of considerable strength, as I proved before Elders Ogden and Doge yesterday evening. They have agreed to make Pensieve records of the event available to the Wizengamot today in furtherance of this discussion."
A heated debate followed, after which the Pensieve Memories, in which the two Elders had clearly seen Albus Dumbledore sat in the Accusation Chair, calmly claiming to be a purple chicken named Godfrey, were displayed on the Chamber wall. The vote to use Veritaserum was passed smoothly after this, and Lucius clearly sagged in his chair.
The Veritaserum was administered. Crouch stepped forward, eyes fixed upon the prisoner, clearly prepared to make the most of the opportunity. Lucius' identity was quickly established, and preliminary questions revealed his current address, House status, and, unsurprisingly to Narcissa, his perception of her as a brood-mare come to the end of her usefulness, a statement that garnered her sympathetic looks from many of the Wizengamot members as she held her head up proudly and calmly.
"Are you a follower of the self-styled Lord Voldemort?"
"Yes"
A knock of the gavel quelled the rising murmurs from the Wizengamot.
"Do you have the Dark Mark?"
"Yes."
The clipped answers showed Lucius was fighting the Veritaserum, and two more drops were administered.
"Have you participated in Death Eater activities?"
"Of course, when my Lord asked it of me"
"What activities would you participate in on a typical raid?"
"It would depend on the situation. Generally I would lead a team on a raid, in which we were usually there to murder certain individuals, or torture, maim and rape for intimidation purposes. Other raids were to initiate new recruits by leading them on a muggle hunt."
"Please explain what was involved in a 'muggle hunt' for the Wizengamot"
"Each new recruit had to kidnap, torture, rape and kill a muggle for their initiation ritual. Except Snape, of course. He just had to watch. The hunt was to have each recruit obtain a muggle to their liking. We would apparate into a muggle area and attack random houses or businesses until we got what we needed. We would kill the ones we didn't take and fire the Dark Mark above their heads"
"Were there similar initiations at different levels?"
"There were two different initiations. To celebrate being chosen for the Inner Circle, the honouree could choose a Blood traitor or Mudblood target family. We would not fire the Dark Mark on these occasions in order to cause additional panic amongst our kind. The target would be brought to base and used as practice for Dark curses. We would compete to find new curses for each event."
"How many men, women or children did you, personally, torment or kill?"
"Other than the muggle at my initiation and the Levanwick family for the inner circle, I would estimate between five to ten kills per raid, and estimate that I attended twenty six raids. I would need my journals to recall precise numbers."
The Wizengamot chamber was entirely silent, and even Crouch seemed to be under a silencing spell; opening his mouth and closing it again. Lucius remained still in the chair, looking almost bored, as he had while calmly revealing atrocity after atrocity. The murder of the Levanwick family had taken place three years earlier, and the ferocity that had attended their deaths had lead to the belief that the family had fallen foul of Dark creatures. The deaths had been used to justify anti Were and Vampire legislation, sponsored by the very Wizard who had just confessed to their murder.
Chief Marchbanks rapped her gavel loudly in the stunned silence. "The Bench has heard enough from the witness at this time, and grants permission for the relevant authorities to use Veritaserum to obtain further information, with respect to Wizarding Law, once this session is closed. It is the finding of the Wizengamot Elders that the Accused has confessed to the charges laid before this court, and accordingly as Chief of the Wizengamot I pronounce the Accused guilty of murder, rape, kidnap and torture; of belonging to a terrorist organisation; of treason to his House, Name, and Magic. I hereby strip the Convicted of his House and Name, and order his Magic to be drained and blocked and his wand snapped and burnt."
Her gaze swept the ranks of witches and wizards before her. "We now come to decide his fate. Lady Malfoy, you are unable to participate in this vote by reason of your House, however this Court would like to thank you for your freely given assistance and confirm you as Regent for Lord Draco Malfoy."
There was an inarticulate scream of rage from Lucius at this, and he struggled in a futile attempt to rise from the Chair. Frustrated by the chains wrapping around his body, he sank back, but called out in a surprisingly clear voice "I hereby renounce my marriage to Narcissa Black and the child born of that marriage is declared outcast from the House of Malfoy."
Narcissa paled, but Chief Marchbanks continued as though nothing had been said. "As with all cases involving crimes of this magnitude, the sentence is either Death by the Veil, the Dementors' Kiss, or Life Imprisonment in Azkaban. The decision rests in your hands. If you are voting for Death by the Veil, please cast a red Lumos. For the Dementors' Kiss, please cast a blue Lumos, and for Life Imprisonment please cast a White Lumos. The spell can only be cast once, and the will of the Wizengamot shall be final."
Slowly, the chamber began to glow as, one by one, wands lit throughout the chamber.
"A consensus has been reached."
