Disclaimer~ The Prologue has the full disclaimer. Also any readers that are lost, read the Authors Note at the beginning of the Prologue; it will help make things clear.

Authors Note~ My plan was to have the whole trial completed in this chapter, but this is when one of the characters decides to assert themselves and had all my carefully laid plans go right down the drain. So I will warn everyone, this does end in a cliff hanger and I can’t tell you when I will be able to update next. So you may want to wait till the next chapter comes out to read this one. Thank you everyone for the reviews, I will not request them, but they do feed my soul. Enjoy :)

Chapter 27

August 25^th the day of the trial and one week till the start of Hogwarts

Harry was hiding out in Sirius’s bedroom with Sirius, completely annoyed by his current situation. It has been a week since he had been at Grimmauld Place and he had yet been unable to talk with Hermione alone, the reason was, Ron would not leave him alone for more than five minutes. So instead of stewing about the situation he was venting to his Godfather.

“Sirius you have to help me…I can’t even shit without Ron peeking in to see what I am doing.”

With a twinkle, Sirius answered, “Well next time he bothers you in that….Ummm…situation, just ask him if he wants to help you wipe as well?” Not being able to keep straight face and Sirius fell off the bed laughing.

“Oh’ real mature…I need help here; anyways’ I tried that last time…It didn’t work. Even getting the twins to prank him again didn’t get him to leave me alone…” Harry said crossing his arms, pouting.

Sirius finally deciding to be serious for once asked, “Why do you need to talk to Hermione alone?”

This was why he hadn’t came for help earlier, he didn’t want to tell Sirius what he needed to tell his best friend, but desperate times called for desperate measures. “I need to tell her everything that happened this summer, I need her advice and input…” Harry looked at his Godfather to challenge him to say anything bad about Hermione. “I know I can trust her, she probably is the only witch or wizard I can trust.”

With a heavy sigh Sirius said, “You are right about Hermione, not all witches or wizards are horrible disgusting creatures that Lucius, Severus, and the Dark Lord would have you believe…” Sirius came putting his arm around Harry. “You have my support in this cub, I’ll think of something for you by tonight.”

Harry looked up to his Godfather giving him a radiant smile “Thanks…I was wondering…Why does everyone call Tom the Dark Lord still… I mean…?”

Sirius was back to his old self, never able to be serious about anything for more than five minutes at a time. “Well you see we all grew up calling him as such…If we were to call him anything else now it would just be…Weird.” Sirius shivered at the thought.

“Harry…I know you’re in there…You know it is sick; that you’re in the bedroom of a man that is old enough to be your father…By yourself at that…” Ron screamed through the door.

“See what I mean; I haven’t even been in here that long and, is already bothering me…” Harry said glaring at the door, hoping that if he ignored the redhead he would go away.

Sirius was even glaring at the door, the thought of what Ron was implying completely sickened him, “Don’t worry cub, I will think of something, you’re right he is very disturbing. Go ahead and get ready…Your trial is in a couple of hours.” Sirius gave him one last hug before sending him out the door.

Harry shot daggers at Ron as he pushed him out of the way, coming close to bashing his head into the wall. If he hadn’t had something to do this afternoon Harry would have given Ron a present to show him how grateful he was for the disturbing thoughts that the redhead had implanted in his head. How in anyone’s mind could think that he would be attracted to his Godfather, an Elf he thought of as his own father? Anyway his hair was the wrong color.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dumbledore was on time to pick Harry up for his trial, and until they reached the Ministry of Magic, he kept his head down answering any questions with one word. It seemed that it was working in his favor, until Dumbledore told him that Harry had nothing to feel guilty over that all young wizards made these types of mistakes all the time.

That peaked his curiosity, why would the Headmaster call what happened a mistake, he was protecting himself and his cousin from a dementor attack. So why would Dumbledore think he would feel guilt? If anything he felt proud at being able to drive away three Dementors. Now that he was ‘in the know’, he could see the inconstancies that Dumbledore embodied. Everything about the wizard contradicted itself.

A shadow of a glimmer, something that shouldn’t be there; caught Harry’s attention. Trying to peer closer to the mystery, Sirius head popped up as if out of nowhere; appearing to be floating. His godfather put his finger across his lips; then vanishing as quickly as it appeared. This must be the reason Sirius rushed him out earlier; needing to get here undetected before they did. It was almost a relief knowing his Godfather was there to protect him; that is if he could trust the fact that Sirius wouldn’t get in trouble. Sneaking into the Ministry; could become too much of a temptation for Sirius to handle.

Harry made his way down the elevator with Dumbledore to courtroom ten, Minister Fudge and the full Wizengamot present to oversee a the trial that Dumbledore said ‘all charges had been dropped’. Why would so many witches and wizards come for a trial as insignificant as the one for him; granted they all viewed him as the boy who lived. But this much was excessive; to the point of being obscene; I wonder if Dumbledore was pulling stings to help me, or is it the complete opposite.

“Harry James Potter please take the seat in the center of the courtroom.” That was Fudge, looking down at Harry from his seat set at the top of all the members of the Wizengamot. “Amelia Bones will oversee the trial, who is Mr. Potter’s representation?”

“I am, Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Order of Merlin first class, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, and the vanquisher of the Dark Lord Gellert Grendelwald.” It seemed with each title that Dumbledore added he stood a little taller and his chest puffed out a little more.

“Mr. Potter I want you to understand the charges that have been brought against you, if you have any questions please feel free to ask.” Amelia Bones said in a calm voice before continuing. “You have been charged with the use of under aged magic in front of a muggle, if found guilty this crime can be punished with expulsion from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and up to one year in Azkaban.” Amelia folded her hands under her chin looking directly at Harry.

Harry looked between Amelia and Dumbledore slightly confused, what Amelia said did not go along with what the Headmaster was saying a week ago. This didn’t sound like he was cleared of all charges, it sounded like the beginning of a trial. “The Headmaster said that all charges were dropped…That this trial was just a formality at this point…”

Amelia Bones gave Dumbledore a hard stare, “Is this true Albus, did you mislead Mr. Potter?”

Dumbledore straightened his robes taking his time before answering Amelia, “I may have said some things to help reassure Harry here…”

“That is not true…You told me specifically that all charges were dropped…why would you tell me something that is untrue Headmaster?...” Harry was pissed, he knew what was happening, but he could play this into his hand. Harry looked at Amelia tears coursing down his cheeks, “Why would he say that if it wasn’t true?” Harry said in a small pleading voice.

Harry watched as Amelia looked between himself and Dumbledore, confusion showing in her face. It is hard to not believe someone who was crying. “Albus, I believe it would be better if you were to leave courtroom ten, apparently there are many untruths between you two.”

Dumbledore looked up quickly a brief flash of fear crossing his face, “I think if I was given a moment with the boy…”

Harry winced at the mention of boy, he truly hated that name. Then a breath of fresh air came through the courtroom when he heard the voice of someone he had learned to trust through the summer.

“I think for everyone involved, it would be better to have impartial representation for Mr. Potter…I am willing to volunteer my services.” Lucius stood up straight, his bearing immaculate, voice so cold everyone in the courtroom started shivering.

“After this last drama displayed I feel that it is the correct solution Mr. Malfoy, I will give you one hour to converse with the accused so you can get the facts straight and be able to represent him properly. Albus Dumbledore your service is no longer needed; you are to leave immediately.” Amelia said with a tired sigh.

Dumbledore looked as if he was going to argue for a second before Lucius spoke, “Headmaster you are wasting precious time I have in being able to defend Mr. Potter properly.” Dumbledore didn’t say anything, only brushed past Lucius slamming the courtroom door as he left.

Lucius looked at Harry giving him one of the warmest smiles that Harry had seen from Draco’s father. “Come Mr. Potter we don’t have much time.” Lucius directed Harry to an antechamber off of the courtroom, while he sighed in relief; knowing he could trust Lucius to see his best interest in this mess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as the door closed Lucius threw up silencing wards, and many others that could tell him if there was someone eavesdropping, or any other types of listening devices that could be in the room. The last spell he casted was to muffle both his and Harry’s voices so it sounded as if they spoke a mumbled language to anyone who might try to overhear. Knowing he was being overly cautious but it was a stroke of luck that allowed him to be able to represent Harry, otherwise who knew what could have happened to his Enrai.

Looking at Harry, he barley recognized him; he had dark circles under his eyes, and looked slightly more defeated than he had when he first came to the Manor. This wouldn’t do, after the episode with Draco last week, it would be impossible to keep his son at home if he knew Harry looked like this. Then a greatest surprise happened; Harry ran right into his arms, burying his face into his chest. At first he stood there, not knowing what to do; then understanding began to leak in and he wrapped his arms around the young Elf.

“Shhhh…It will be all right, I promise…” Lucius rubbed soothing circles on Harry’s back like he had to Draco when he was younger. Slowly Harry disentangled himself, sitting back down in the chair, clearly embarrassed. “Now that you feel a little better there is no need to tell me any details I have already gotten all the information I need from that whale of a boy that was with you.”

Harry nodded his head showing he had heard; going to sit close to Harry, hoping that the closeness would help ease him. “Why don’t I tell you what has been happening at the Manor while we have some time?” Harry perked up after that giving Lucius a small smile to encourage him into talking.

Lucius smiled back not being able to help himself, “well first are the arguments that dev…” Coughing to cover up his blunder, “The Heiress and the Dark Lord are having. Right now every time the Dark Lord shows his face your Grandmother will throw something at him. That has been lasting for the last three days.” Harry chuckled at that, even Lucius couldn’t help but chuckle at watching the Dark Lord run covering his head every time the she devil saw him. Hopefully after saving her grandson she would start to like him more. Truthfully in a couple of years they would be family.

“Next is how Narcissa is moping about without you around, and I don’t even want to explain about the trouble that Draco has been causing.” Lucius was thoughtful for a moment. “At least I finally got to give some payback for the sleep spell he put me under during your politics lesson.”

Harry looked up confused for a minute. “What do you mean? Why would you need to put him under a sleep spell?”

“I guess I should explain, you see after the attack…Draco went a little crazy and was determined to come after you. So I had to cast a sleeping spell to get him to stop.” Lucius rubbed his temples, “I still remember the headache he gave me when he woke up too.”

Harry shook his head for a minute a small smile appearing on his face before laughing at the picture he painted. “Tell Draco and my Grandmother I am doing fine, and after this you should be redeemed in their eyes.” Harry gave Lucius a wry look before blushing, “You know that I am Draco’s mate?”

Lucius chuckled softly to himself, “Well I suspected before, but after Draco’s outburst there isn’t anyone who doubts it now.”

Harry was one of those rare individuals that always seemed to have something up his sleeve, and with the look of pure innocence that he portrayed confirmed it for Lucius. “Well let’s keep it a secret, that I know for now.” Lucius and Harry smiled a conspirators' smile with each other; the games had just begun between those two.

The two talked about nonsense till their hour was up, a knock on the door letting them know that it was time for them to head back into the courtroom. At least this was one political lesson that Lucius knew Harry wouldn’t fall asleep in or his son would secret him away from. A malicious smile crossed Lucius’s face as he mentally prepared himself dropping his cold mask back into place as he and Harry took their place back in front of the Wizengamot.
