Chapter Twenty One:

A month later Harry was sitting inside the courtroom fiddling with his wand, which was in the wand holster Sirius had bought for him after he was killed. His wand was always inside the holster except for when he was sleeping...well resting since he couldn't sleep, or doing anything in water.

"Are you alright?" Edward asked from his seat beside Harry.

Shrugging, Harry looked around at the other people in the courtroom and was glad that the trial would be ending today. While it hadn't lasted very long, it seemed to go on forever to Harry. Especially when the reporters would gather around outside of his house at all times of the day trying to talk to both Edward and himself.

It had brought up too many memories of before he moved to Forks when the wizarding reporters would bother him at all hours of the day trying to give him a rare interview.

I just want this to be over with." Looking across the room, Harry frowned when he caught sight of Charlie Swan. His face was pale and gaunt and it looked as if he had lost a lot of weight in the past month. There were dark circles under his eyes and his hair seemed to be gaining strands of gray.

Next to Charlie sat his ex wife who looked as if the whole proceedings weren't bothering her at all and looked as if she was simply waiting to get her hair done. All that was missing was a magazine sitting in her hands.

Leaning his head against Edward's shoulder, Harry watched as Bella was led into the room, her hands and feet shackled together, but dressed in a professional looking black skirt and shirt.

As she was placed next to her lawyer, one appointed by the state, the bailiff motioned for everyone to stand and introduced the judge, an elder Hispanic woman who seemed to be in her late forties or early fifties.

As everyone settled back into their seats she started to speak.

"This is probably the first and last case I'll ever try where an attempted murder trial will end in only a months time. The jury has informed me that they have reached a decision. Before the verdict is read is there anything you would like to say, Miss. Swan?"

Turning to sneer at Harry, she said, "No your honor. There isn't anything I'd like to say."

"Very well. Foreman what is the jury's verdict."

"We the jury find the defendant guilty of attempted murder."

As the verdict was read, a slight murmur broke out among the few people that had been allowed in the courtroom.

"Quiet in the court!" The judge shouted. "We will break for lunch and when we reconvene I will announce my sentence." Banging her gavel the officers that had stood silently by the doors moved forwards to take Bella out of the room.

Standing up, Harry allowed Edward to lead him out of the room and towards one of the break rooms, but as soon as they stepped out of the courtroom they were accosted by reporters all shouting questions at him.

"Mr. Potter how does it feel to know that the woman who tried to kill you has been found guilty?" One shouted.

"Mr. Potter what's your reaction to the verdict?" Another called out as Edward started to elbow through the throng.

"Mr. Potter has no comments at the time for you." Edward said with a growl as they stepped into the room. Slamming the door, Edward pulled Harry into his arms and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Overwhelmed, but I'm glad we made the others stay at home for this. I don't think I would have been able to handle their coddling as well as those pests also known as reporters."

"I'm just sorry that you have to go through all this. If I could stop it I would."

"It's annoying, but I'm used to it. It's the way my whole life has been. I'm just glad I don't get headaches anymore or I might not have been so nice right now." Leaning his head against Edward's shoulder, Harry said, "It will be over soon and hopefully we won;;t have to deal with anything like this ever again."

Resting his eyes, Harry thought back to the day he had to testify during the trial.

After being sworn in Harry sat ramrod straight in the chair beside the judge. As the Defense Attorney stood up.

"I only have a few questions for you, Mr. Potter. Is it true that you encountered problems with Miss. Swan when you first moved to town?"

"Almost as soon as I did."

"Can you explain why, please."

"Well her ex, Edward, and I met and became friends. The first time I encountered Miss. Swan was when after I spent some time with Edward at his house. We were talking so Edward was walking me out to my motorcycle and as soon as I stepped outside I was slapped by Miss. Swan."

"Did she say why she struck you?"

"She called me, and I quote, 'the slut that stole her boyfriend'."

"Did you?"

"No. We were just friends at the time."

"Now I recall that your restaurant was set on fire at one point..." The DA started to ask before Bella's lawyer cut him off.

"Objection your honor. Relevance."

"Withdrawn. No more questions at the time." The DA said as he returned to his seat while straightening his tie.

"Does the defense have any questions for the witness."

"Yes your honor." Bella's lawyer said as she stood up brushing her blonde hair out of her eyes.

"Mr. Potter you said that you were 'just friends at the time'. Can we now assume that you and Mr. Cullen are more than friends now?"

"You don't need to assume anything. We started dating about a month ago."

"Do you have proof that you only started dating a month ago and that my client wasn't being cheated on?"

"Objection your honor. The witness isn't the one on trial." The DA called out.

"Sustained. Watch your questions councilor."

"My apologies." She drawled. "Mr. Potter, you're sure that you started dating only a month ago? Maybe Mr. Cullen was courting you before then?"

"That's not possible and if you knew him you'd understand that. He's old fashioned."

"Old fashioned? Please explain."

"You know where when you're with someone you're with them forever. He felt horrible when he broke up with her."

"If he felt like that why wouldn't he get back together especially when he saw how broken up she was?"

"Because he was unhappy when he was with her."

"If he was old fashioned why would he care if he was unhappy? Would he not still stay with her?"

"I don't know. I'm not him so I can't answer that. But I know that even if I was old fashioned, I wouldn't stay with someone if I was unhappy. That just leads to an unhappy home."

Standing there with a slight frown, Bella's attorney slightly tapped her foot as she thought.

After a few minutes the judge raised an eyebrow and asked, "If there are no more questions councilor then I think we should proceed."

"I don't have any more at this time." She said with a frown as she made her way back to her seat beside Bella.

"You can step down now, Mr. Potter. Thank you." The judge said.

Moving away from the booth, Harry made his way back to his seat beside his family and friends.

"Harry it's time to head back in." Edward said while gently nudging Harry.

"Can't we just stay here?" Harry asked.

"We can. We don't have to go back in if you don't want to."

"No. I'm not going to let her win. If I don't go back in there she's going to think she's won."

Nodding, Edward helped Harry up and led him back to the court room while glaring at the reporters as they tried to get Harry to talk.

Slipping into the courtroom, quietly since the judge was already back and talking, Edward pulled Harry down into a seat close to the back.

"Miss. Swan what you did was despicable. To injure a person simply because they are with an ex of yours. But what's done is done and justice is served. Do you have anything to say before I announce your sentence?"

Glancing around the room, Bella stopped to glare at Edward and Harry and snapped out, "No. I have nothing to say."

"Very well then. Stand up beside your lawyer while I read out your sentencing."

Standing up, Bella stared at the judge with a blank look on her face.

"Bella Swan as you have been found guilty on the charge of attempted murder and have been sentenced to ten years in a women's prison, but the first year will be spent in a psychiatric facility to receive help. If at the end of that year, it is decided that you still haven't received the help needed you will have another year there. Court is adjourned." She said, banging her gavel.

As the police gathered up Bella and led her out, Edward stood up with Harry and led him out of the room. Luckily all the reporters were gathering around Charlie and Renee trying to get their reaction on their daughter's sentencing.

"Come on let's slip out of here before anyone notices us." Edward whispered to him. Turning around, Edward led Harry towards the side exit that was guarded by an armed police officer.

Smiling and nodding at him, Edward slipped through the door and led Harry to the car. Helping the teen in Edward went around to the drivers side and climbed in.

Running his fingers through his hair, Harry sighed and said, "If I was still alive I'm sure I'd have gray hairs by now."

"I bet you'd look good with a little bit of gray in your hair." Edward said as they pulled out onto the road.

"Um Edward home's the other way." Harry said turning to look out the back window.

"I know. We aren't going home just yet."

"Edward as much as I love it when we go out, I'm not really in the mood for going on a date right now."

"We're not. We're going on vacation. You need one after all this."

"Edward I have my restaurant. I can't just disappear and hope it runs itself."

"Relax Esme's going to take care of the restaurant. You've taught her how to cook and she can move quick. She could mess up on every dish and still serve the whole restaurant in about a half hour."

Sighing, Harry said, "I guess you're right, but I wish you had told me."

"If I had told you, you would have refused to go. You're too dedicated to your restaurant."

"Oh poor Edward. Do you feel neglected?" Harry said with a teasing smile.

"If I say yes will it get me a kiss?"

Laughing, Harry snuggled against Edward and said, "You can get a kiss from me at any time. So where are we going?"

"Esme and Carlisle were nice enough to allow us to use their private island. That way we can go out in the sun and not worry about sparkling."

Snorting on his laughter, Harry shook his head and said, "I still can't believe that we sparkle in the sun. I may be gay, but sparkling just isn't something that I want to do."

Laughing, Edward gave Harry a squeeze and held him close as he drove towards the airport.

****END CHAPTER****

AN: I know, I know there wasn't much about the trial, but believe it or not right before I started writing this chapter I had a problem with an ex starting to harass me. I tried writing more to it, but I started shaking and sobbing...I couldn't write more. I hope what I did manage to write was good though and maybe I'll be able to come back in a few months and fix it up, but right now it's too fresh in my mind. Anyway more will be up soon. I think the next chapter might actually be the last one, but there might be one more after it.

Thanks to everyone that reviewed.
