Harry was cuddling with Tom when the Minister and his group filed back in.

“We have reached a verdict.” Fudge said. “The decision was unanimous. Ginevra Weasley, you have been found guilty of using an illegal and dark potion, underage use of a controlled substance, and attempted line theft. You are sentenced to life in Azkaban with limited visitation rights, in a maximum-security cell, and fined for five hundred galleons, which your parents will pay.” He looked at the Aurors that had brought her in. “Take her to the boat. Wait for her brother’s verdict before taking her away.”

The Aurors hauled her out of the chair and dragged her, screaming at first before she was silenced, out of the room, amid Molly’s loud sobs.

Molly glared death at Fred and George. “You two!” She screeched. “You are no longer welcome in my house! You will get your things after this, and you will stay gone! I never want to see your faces again!” She yelled.

Fred and George looked at each other, then back at her. “That’s going to be difficult,” George began.

“Because we intend to be famous. But fine.” Fred added.

“We’ll move out.” They told her together.

“I will get two Aurors to accompany you to her house to get your things.” Severus assured them.

Tom perked up. “I could go.” He said eagerly.

Severus gave him a stern look. “You will not.” He said.

Tom sighed but settled into his seat petulantly, arms crossed over his chest.

Harry poked him in the side. “Don’t pout.” He whispered to the man. “You’ll give yourself a bad name.” He said in amusement.

Tom huffed. “I’ll give Thomas Harding a bad name, but fine.” He relented, sitting the way he always did, straight-backed and proper.

Two more Aurors brought in Ron and sat him in the chair.

“Previous testimony will stand. Is there additional evidence to his other crimes, sexual battery and attempted murder, two counts each?”

Marcus stood. “There is. The prosecution would like Harrison Prince, Lord Selwyn, to return to the stand.”

Harry got up and took the stand again.

“The Veritaserum has worn off, correct?” Marcus asked.

“Yes.” Harry replied.

“Will you consent to take it again?”

Harry nodded. “I will.”

The Auror gave him another three drops, and asked, “What is your name and titles?”

“Harrison Severus Prince, Lord Potter, Lord Selwyn, Heir Prince.” He said.

Marcus came forward after being assured it was working, then asked, “In your words, tell us what happened the two times Ronald Weasley attempted to end your life?”

Harry took a deep breath. “The first time, it was a poison. He covered the handle of my trunk with it, but I have an immunity to certain poisons, and while I could detect it, it did nothing to me, besides alarm me a bit. I learned to start cleaning my items before I touched them. The second time, I was leaving class on Valentine’s day, and he shrunk the necklace I had just received. Draco Malfoy and I took him to Dumbledore for that, and he received a two-week suspension.”

Fudge shot Dumbledore a sharp look. “We should have heard of this sooner. I wonder if we shouldn’t remove him from his position of Headmaster. Clearly, something needs to be done.”

Dumbledore kept his mouth shut and simply watched Harry.

Marcus nodded. “And the sexual battery charges?” He asked.

“Well, when he came back from his suspension, he had brought some of the items the twins were working on, pranks that were still in development, to the school with him. He used them on me without even knowing what they were. The first one turned me into a girl for two weeks. The first day I was a girl, he showered next to me and he kept staring. Later on, he grabbed the boobs I had grown and squeezed them—hard.”

He saw Amelia Bones wince in sympathy and smiled grimly.

“I started showering with the girls after that, and the next day Lavender Brown suggested giving me a make-over. She did my hair and make-up and dressed me in a skirt. Ron took the opportunity later that day to flip up the back of the skirt and grabbed my arse in both hands. Both of those instances are ingrained into my mind forever.” Harry finished.

Marcus nodded. “No further questions.” He said.

William came up to Harry. “Did you tell him to stop after the first instance?” He asked.

Harry scowled. “I shouldn’t have to. He should know to keep his bloody hands to himself! It’s basic human decency!”

Amelia Bones was nodding in agreement.

“Do you know what poison he used on your trunk handle?” William asked.

Harry shook his head. “No. Only that I was immune.”

“No further questions.” William said.

“Harry Prince, you may leave the stand.” Fudge said. “Is there any further testimony from the prosecution?”

“There is not.” Marcus said.

“Very well. All previous testimony will still stand. Does the defence want to call anyone back up?” Fudge asked.

“The defence calls Albus Dumbledore ack to the stand.”

The Auror came forward and gave him more Veritaserum and confirmed one last time that it was working.

William faced his witness. “What is your perception of Ronald Weasley?”

Dumbledore sighed. “He is a very lacklustre student, and gets mediocre marks. He gets by, but he is in no way outstanding at anything.”

“Has he demonstrated any interest in dark arts before?” William asked.

“He has looked into some darker spells, but would never use them and does not show as much interest as his sister does. He is very dedicated to the Light.” Dumbledore told them.

“No further questions.” William said.

Marcus came up. “If he is so dedicated to the light, why would he try to kill another student?” He asked.

Dumbledore considered the question. “He believed Harry was going Dark, and wanted to spare him the madness Dark Arts invariably cause, I believe.”

“Why would he believe that Harry was going Dark?”

Dumbledore shrugged. “Most likely because of who his father is. Severus is most assuredly a Dark Wizard, and children usually follow in the footsteps of their parents.”

“So it is an assumption. He has no proof.” Marcus said.

Dumbledore nodded. “It is a suspicion, but I believe it is a well-grounded one.” He said.

“No further questions.” Marcus said.

“Lord Dumbledore, you may leave the stand.” Fudge said. “Ronald Weasley will be given the chance to speak for himself.”

Ron was given Veritaserum and William came up. “Why did you believe Harry was going Dark?”

“Look at who his dad is! How could he not?!”

William nodded. “No further questions.” He said, knowing that anything else would only make him look worse.

Marcus came up next. “Why did you try to kill Harry?” He asked.

“He turned all of Gryffindor against me!” Ron spat.

“And why did you give him the potion?”

“I just wanted my friend back.”

Marcus nodded. “By any means necessary?” He asked.

Ron nodded.

“No further questions.”

“There will be another short recess while we deliberate.”

Harry sighed and cuddled into Tom’s side again. “Hopefully he’ll go away, too.”

“If he does not, I am sure your twins will tell me where their family home can be found. He will go away one way or another.” Tom said firmly.

Harry grinned. “Oh, they’re my twins?” He teased.

Tom grimaced. “Severus has told me tales about them. They are all yours.” He said.

Harry laughed. “Are you really scared of a couple of teenagers?” He asked.

“Scared? No. Wary, yes. I’ve been told I should be, for my good health.” Tom told him.

Harry hummed. “Well, it couldn’t hurt.” He conceded before the Minister and his group filed back in.

“We have reached a verdict.” Fudge announced again. “The decision was unanimous. Ronald Weasley, you have been found guilty of using an illegal and dark potion, slander, two counts of sexual battery and two counts of attempted murder. You are sentenced to life in Azkaban with limited visitation rights, in a maximum-security cell, and a fine of five hundred galleons, which your parents will pay.” He looked at the Aurors. “Take him away and take them both to Azkaban.”

The Aurors hauled an unresisting Ron to his feet. Right before he left the room, he looked at Harry and yelled, “You’ll regret ever meeting me!”

Harry shook his head and said sadly, “I already do.”

Tom pulled Harry aside after they left the room and handed him a few pictures. “You’ll need Severus’ help to do it in time, but formulate a fictional memory of my resurrection in this place.” He handed Harry some pictures of the graveyard. “You’ll need it after the Third Task. The Triwizard cup will be a Portkey. Bring Viktor Krum to me. I will offer him a place in my followers then.”

Harry smiled. “I will.”

He looked over and noticed Percy Weasley standing a few feet away. “Hey, Percy.” He said mildly.

Percy cleared his throat and came closer. “I hear you’re turning from Dumbledore from the twins. Is that true?”

Harry flushed. “I’ve actually thrown my lot in entirely with the other side.” He admitted quietly.

Percy nodded slowly. “They say you lead a faction that is halfway between neutral and a full Death Eater?”

“I do.” Harry confirmed. “They’re called the Hopefuls. It stands for Hopeful Future Death Eaters. Tom picks those he wants from the group when they come of age and offers them a place as a full Death Eater.”

Percy shifted uncomfortably. “Can I join and not have to join Him all the way?”

Harry saw Tom nod out of the corner of his eye. “That should be fine. I can let him know you want to stay with me. I have a ring with me now, if you’re really sure?” He offered.

Percy nodded. “Please.”

Harry keyed him to the ring. “I won’t call you while I’m at Hogwarts, but if it warms, you need to concentrate on it and Apparate where it leads. If it’s hot, drop everything and come immediately. And I need to put you under a lip-locker so you can’t tell anyone about us.”

Percy nodded and let Harry cast the spell.

Harry smiled. “Welcome to the group. We’re happy to have you.”

“Happy to be part of it.” Percy said. “Can I contact Bill and Charlie and drop hints? I think they’ll join you, too.”

Harry shifted. “Hints. You won’t be able to do more.” He said.

Percy nodded. “Hints are all I’ll need. See you around.”

“See you, Perce.” Harry said.

They left and headed back to Hogwarts, Fred and George heading with a few Aurors to pick up their things at home before returning.
