I�M A SLAVE FOR
YOU

�� As the public court hearing drew
close, everyone was on their toes on the situation. More and more sensational
news were published and broadcasted throughout the wizarding
world and everyone was debating about them. It was as if the Ministry scandal
was the new pick-up line for �How�s the weather?� for everyone nowadays. As
before, sides were taken and there have been more than once where their debate
led to tongue-lashing and fist-fights even within the families and the entire wizarding world�s atmosphere was rather tense.

�� The Order was, of course, the main
target of all this hype. In fact, ever since they have made their secret group
public, they have been subjected to various mishaps and mysterious occurrence. Albus suffered the worst of the blows because he, Lil and
Beck (who were bunking in at his place for the moment until the public court
hearing) were the ones with the crucial evidence to take down the Ministry.
More than once, they found themselves being ransacked as things were thrown
around, cabinets were opened and messed about, files strewn around, and heck,
even clothes were torn apart as the Ministry have probably sent secret parties
to help them find the crucial evidence in vain. Only Albus
was the one who knew where he kept them and he did not even tell Lil or Beck
for fear of them being targeted to reveal the whereabouts, and knowing the
Ministry, the last thing they wanted was bad publicity and suspicion of sending
people to interrogate an old man. But just for precaution, Minerva had advised
that they should be shadowed by Hagrid to get extra
security, since Hagrid, due to his tremendous�and
perhaps terrifying�size, is least likely to be harmed by the Ministry�s
advances.

�� Sirius, now that he was no longer out of the Ministry�s radar, has been
constantly receiving harassing visits from them to make him confess and tell
where he had hidden Draco and his family. He was forced to remove all his
portraits for fear of them ratting him out and also
send away his hired help back to their homes until the thing blows over so that
they would not accidentally make a slip up if the Ministry pushed any further.
The only person who refused to leave was Paprika, and probably something good came
out of all this harassment because somehow it had forced Sirius to confront his
true feelings for this little Spanish slave girl and finally confessed it
during another one of their heavy bedding.

�� Fleur
and the Delacour family were also harassed occasionally
by the Ministry for betraying the Ministry�s trust and going against them
secretly when they should be working for them to be on the lookout for Voldemort�s whereabouts, but was hailed by their fellow
Frenchmen for their bravery of going against them, although the minority who
took the Ministry�s side gave them quite a bit of trouble along with those who
thought ill of them working for the Ministry in the first place, allowing the
Ministry to relocate Harry�s French relative and have them killed. Both her and Bill who worked in Gringotts
Bank lost their jobs because Gringotts couldn�t
afford to lose customers due to their presence and their involvement in the
Order and were forced to be laid off, but at least they have discovered love
for each other and planned to be wed once this whole thing blew over.

�� Aberforth was equally worse off from the hype
as he was losing income from the lack of customers coming into Hog�s Head.
Costs were too highly spent on damages when fights break out in the bar debating
about the Ministry scandal that he could no longer hold his job as bartender.
He had to temporarily quit his job and he was definitely making his estranged
brother Albus remember that it was his fault this
happened. Mundungus was branded a snitch and a sneaky
spy by his fellow outlaws and beat him into a pulp, and was barely alive when Aberforth found him at the side of the road. Of course, Albus was more than willing to take him in as the hired
help and the prideful Dung accepted it, claiming that he was just accepting
this temporarily just until he could get back on his feet to establish his
ground hold as an outlaw again.

�� The rest of the Weasley
family was also affected by the hype as they were immediately branded as
blood-traitors by those who took the Ministry�s side. It was a no-brainer that
Arthur lost his job in the Ministry, but he did not mind. His wife Molly was
worried that if he had continued his employment there, he would be harmed even
further anyway. The Weasley twins� business was
affected as well from the hype, and it gotten to the point where they had to
close shop because the Ministry supporters were vandalizing it in more ways
than one, even scrawling death threats on their walls and windows. Ron was
getting mixed looks from everyone, both the Ministry�s supporters and
non-supporters, but Hermione was with him every step of the way. The Grangers
did offer them to take refuge for the moment at their place, but they did not
want to be a hassle, and they had to be there just in case something went wrong
with the upcoming public court hearing.

�� The only Weasley
family member that was gaining from this hype would probably be Charlie because
not only dragon trainers live a secluded life, meaning news did not travel fast
to them as regular wizarding citizens do, thus the
lack of being harassed, but also because the Ministry scandal spoke levels to
the Japanese magical creatures who took refuge and worked there, especially
Hiroshi the demon fox, and was heralded by them for fighting against the corrupt
Ministry. Arabella Figg was
perhaps the least of all that was affected by the Ministry since she was a
Squib and spent most of her time with her cats in the Muggle
world, but she did occasionally get some owl infestation of sorts because of
threatening letters sent to her by both the Ministry supporters and those who
hated her for working for the Ministry on the Voldemort
lookout, and also the mixed looks she got whenever she paid a visit to the wizarding world to get her supplies.

�� The DA members were not exempted
from the effects of the hype as well. Coupled with the fact that they were
under constant scrutiny and occasionally interrogated by the Ministry on
information about the Ministry scandal and about the crucial evidence (which,
of course, they honestly have no idea of because it was under the possession of
Albus and the old man hadn�t told anyone about its
whereabouts), the school itself was giving them a hard time trying to cope
before the public court hearing. They were mostly getting it from the Slytherins because most of them had families working under
the Ministry or were pureblood elitist, but no matter how they tried to prove
it, it either backfired on them or was just plain useless.

�� Hannah Abbott almost got herself expelled because someone accused her of
potion abuse or ingesting something illegal to allow her to pass her exams,
though it was partially true that she secretly took some Calming Draught that
was snuck to her by Harry. Katie Bell almost got herself killed when
someone slipped some sleeping potion into her drink that took effect when she
was going down the stairs, and she would�ve been paralyzed, or worse, have her
neck broken, if someone had not quickly cast a Levitation spell to break the
fall. She broke a few ribs and maybe her wrist, but at least she was safe and
sound�and alive.

�� Terry Boot sustained bruises and
lesions from books that mysteriously fell off the shelves once or twice, and
was once thrown into the lake by some unseen force and had to be rescued by the
professors before the mermaids drag him under. Lavender Brown had an argument with someone who was insulting Ron
of being a blood-traitor and their fight got so out of hand that her hair was
caught on fire with the Inferno Curse. Needless to say, she had to get a
haircut that probably rivaled any tomboy haircut you have ever seen because of
the damage it did to her. Surprisingly, just like Fleur and Bill, they somehow
discovered love for each other and how many common things they shared while
they were comparing their injuries and their requited love over Hermione and
Ron respectively that fateful day in the Hospital Wing, and much to the relief
of the Old Married Couple, they were no longer bothered by their pursuits
again.

�� Cho Chang and Cedric Diggory were not
spared by the harassments either. Someone had somehow managed to kidnap Cho and
dragged her into the maze that was used during the Triwizard
Tournament and hid her wand somewhere within the school so that she would not
signal anyone to rescue her. Then they sent a threatening note to Cedric to
make him go into the maze, but had somehow managed to charm the maze so that it
would behave worse than it was when he was taking the Triwizard
Tournament. It took the DA members and Hagrid, with
his tracking skills, almost 3 days before they finally found either of them,
tired and dehydrated�mostly Cho, due to the shock�and another 3 days to help
locate Cho�s wand with the help of the school ghosts.

�� The couples Michael Corner and Ginny Weasley were
also nowhere safe from their wrath, especially Ginny as she was branded a
blood-traitor along with her family. Ginny would have threatening letters and
hate mail stuffed in her bags or in her wardrobe, and even had her pet cat
flayed to death and dumped onto her bed, while Michael would end up seeing
�BLOOD-TRAITOR LOVER� scrawled on the walls of his dormitory and his books torn
to shreds with those words written in bold and with charcoal all over it until
he was forced to buy new books before the cycle repeated itself again. If it
weren�t for Ginny�s famous move of the Bat-Bogey Hex, they would�ve given her
more trouble.

�� Justin Finch-Fletchley, being that he�s Muggle-born, was constantly given dirty looks by them, and
more than once, he would find himself at the butt end of a bad joke or pranks
that were cast on him, adding him being a Mudblood as
insult to injury. Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas were also equally harassed,
one of them almost being raped if it weren�t for Argus Filch, who thought they
were making out due to his failing eyesight, coming in and interrupting them.
They both had begged each other to go home where they would be safe, but
neither would back down, mainly because they didn�t want to worry their
families any more than they already did, especially their Muggle
side of the family, and that they would not allow either of them to face the
harassments alone.

�� Anthony Goldstein also almost suffered the same fate of being
expelled for cheating in exams, which of course was not true since Harry had no
part in his exams and that he only helped him with his studies, as were the
same case for Ernie Macmillan. Angelina
Johnson and Alicia Spinnet seemed to have
suffered their harassments via Quidditch, sustaining
more injuries than even a pro-Quidditch player would
get and yet those responsible of hurting them not being penalized or anything.
Luna Lovegood
had had her share of being bullied even before the hype, but after the hype,
the bullying seemed to have gotten worse, to the point where it actually forced
the normally nonchalant Luna into actual tears when they took her mother�s wand
she had kept as memento and flushed it down the toilet. Thankfully Moaning
Myrtle was there to help her retrieve it for her or she would�ve cried her eyes
out for the first time in years.

�� The twins Padma and Parvati Patil
also had their share of being harassed, the worst being that the handmade gifts
that were given by Harry being destroyed. They were almost tempted to leave
school but Hermione managed to persuade them to hang on and be strong for
Harry�s sake. Zacharias Smith
almost got himself expelled as well when the bullying drove him to a huge
fist-fight that escalated to the point where he threatened to push the person
off the Astrology Tower, and would�ve almost done it if it weren�t for Ron
badgering him to let the person go or whatever Harry had done to make him a
better person would�ve been in vain. Of course, that didn�t stop him from
almost blowing the person�s teeth off and he was given 3-month�s detention.

�� Susan Bones and Marietta
Edgecombe was probably the most worst off of all the DA members that
have been harassed with, along with Lee Jordan. Because Susan�s aunt and
Marietta�s mother was in the Ministry, they were branded traitors of the
family. They were dragged out of their dormitory in the middle of the night by
their heels and were tied onto the branches of the Whomping
Willows before being left there to suffer its wrath. Hagrid
found them the next day, still in their binds but on the grass below probably
because of the force of being tossed that broke the ropes they were hanging
from, totally bruised and battered and probably fractured in different places
but at least still alive. No one could be named or convicted because they were
attacked in the dark and without warning and they could not make out their
faces, but it was a no-brainer that it had to be someone from the Slytherins, though no one fessed up about it.

�� Lee Jordan, now that the Ministry
scandal went public, did not require using any secret channels or secret
headphones to hear his broadcast and went a little too trigger-happy on the
broadcasting until he got careless in being tracked. He was lucky to be able to
get away before the Ministry managed to locate and arrest him, but he was found
later on with devices that led to him owning a pirate radio channel and was
immediately ratted out by a Slytherin, so while they
cannot convict him with being the person who made the broadcasting without
evidence (since he had used a voice-altering potion), he was convicted with
owning and manhandling pirate radio machinery, making him an accomplice and was
forced to be expelled from school.

�� So far, the only people safe from harm
more or less was the prophesied people themselves. Tonks,
Moody and Kingsley may have lost their positions as Aurors
in the Ministry because of the scandal and their involvement of boycott along
with the Order, but that did not deter them from doing the best they can to
prevent the Ministry from getting their hands on them. Draco and his family
were still in the clear as so far no one suspected Tonks
keeping them in her house, and Harry and Severus were still good as the St. Mungo staff continued to delay his release, adding his
potion-poisoning to the list of excuses to keep him detained, though the Aurors were starting to get a little restless and
suspicious but unable to act without the Ministry�s orders.

�� The situation was troubling, but
everyone knew they had to hold on.

�� For the sake of the
wizarding world�s future.

--:--

�� Everyone was gathered in the Wizengamot court as the public court hearing drew near within
the hour. Those who were not authorized to be in the court, especially the
general public, were urged to wait outside and listen to the hearing via
megaphones that were installed outside the court. A few selected people from
the press, including Rita Skeeter, were allowed into
the court while the rest had to stay outside along with the others and listen
to the hearing just like everyone else.

�� Just like during the trial of
Severus against his crimes over impregnating Harry and every other trial, the
atmosphere was tense and grim, with the haunting settings and the works. But this
time, there were no plum-coloured robes worn on
everyone because the ones being on trial were the Ministry members versus Albus and the Order, backed up by ministers of the branch
ministries. The chair with the chains were not needed, and in its place were
two pedestals, one for Cornelius who represented the Ministry and one for Albus who represented the Order and the people. Percy was
still in charge of taking notes of the trial, and to avoid any bias, someone
from the branch ministries was the one to read out the customary preliminary
notes and announced the interrogators in charge of the case, which were the handful
of people of the Ministry that were not corrupted by the Ministry�s system.

�� Now we shall read the charges,� the
announcer concluded the preliminary notes and moved on to another parchment. �The
charges are as follows: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry and Minister of the Ministry of Magic, versus Cornelius Fudge, Head
Minister of the Ministry of Magic, on the charges of conspiracy, which includes
mass genocide via hired assassination, harassment and attempted murder of the
child of Harry James Potter and Severus Snape and the
child of Draco Malfoy and Remus
John Lupin, and massive cover-up prior to a prophecy
of grave importance. What do the parties plea?�

�� I plead them guilty of all charges,�
Albus said, earning a few murmurs of mixed emotions
from everyone.

�� And I plead not guilty of all charges,�
Cornelius retaliated, backed up by agreements by people of the Ministry.

�� For the next one hour and a half,
both parties went into hot debate, measuring and counter-measuring the
evidences displayed before the court, and of course, earning loud protests and
denials from the Ministry�s side. There were a few times where they had to be
kept in line or there would�ve been fist-fights and wand-waving followed. It got
to the point where there were indeed wand-waving and they had to be confiscated
before they ended up hurting anyone in the courtroom.

�� This is outrageous!� Cornelius
shouted. �This is a big stupid carnival act! He has no proof that we have hired
this monster Voldemort to commit such atrocious acts
and all the evidence he had shown so far are circumstantial. Who knows whether
or not those are either fabricated or tampered evidence just so he could take
over my spot!�

�� You know as well as I do that my
age will no longer permit me to have any validity of seat on your spot,� Albus replied. �You are just as paranoid as you are the day
you were given your position. And I will not go as low as fabricate or tamper
evidence, unlike you who will stop at nothing, even kill my future
great-grandchild just to ensure you can maintain your elitist ideology.�

�� This is clearly contempt of the
court! He should be removed from this courtroom and waive this as a mistrial.�

�� Pipe down, both of you,� one of the
interrogators warned them before turning to Albus. �Mr.
Dumbledore, is there any other conclusive evidence you would like to present?�

�� Yes,� Albus
said. �This is the most crucial of evidence that I��

�� Before he could finish what he said,
a sudden loud crash sounded at the entrance as the doors were blasted open into
smithereens. The crowd who were waiting outside listening to the hearing had either been killed, severely wounded or fled the scene,
screaming in horror as they went. Everyone started to cower as well when the
assailant looked up, his snake-like eyes and billowing white hair illuminating
his evil presence.

�� Hello, Ministry. Your prodigal son
has returned.�

A/N:
Oh noes~! Voldemort has
shown up in the middle of a hearing~! What was he doing there?! While you jump
up and down your seat wondering what the hell just went on, reviews plz~!!
