Courtroom 10-Trials of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew
Jacob Willis with the protective detail for Harry Donovan-Potter-Black and Hermione Cadmus-Snape were sitting in the gallery of the courtroom waiting for the trials to begin. Fudge was not happy when members of Torchwood showed up with a copy of the Paternity/Heritage Potions Results for Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. What he saw was that his powers of office were greatly reduced with a member of the Royal Family found alive even thou the person is not yet 13 years old cannot fully rule. It was the Princess and Crowned Prince that got a real trial for Sirius Black.
Sirius Black was chained to the chair with his lawyer Andrew Lancing at his side to defend him. Minister Fudge, Head of Magical Law Enforcement, and Head of Aurors were the three main judges with the 50 members of the Jury ready to hear the cases today.
Minister Fudge's spoke "Sirius Black is charged with betraying the Potter family to You-Know-Who, being a death eater, and killing 13 muggles. How do your pleas to the charges against you?"
"My client wishes to enter a plea of NOT GUILTY to all charges." Andrew replied.
"Let the record show that Sirius Black's Lawyer has said NOT GUILTY to all charges. We will give the defendant three drops of the truth serum now." Fudge said.
Auror Tonks put three drops onto Sirius Black's tongue and waited for his eyes to glaze over which is the sign that the potion is working. "He is ready for questioning now. "Auror Tonks said.
First questions: "Were you James and Lily Potter's Secret-Keeper?"
Answer: "No, I was not the secret-keeper. The day before Albus Dumbledore was to cast the charm James and I decided that I would be a target because everyone knew that I would most likely be the secret-keeper. Also, I was the blood-adopted father for Harry since his 1st Birthday."
Second Question: "Who was the secret-keeper of James and Lily Potter?"
Answer: "Peter Pettigrew was the secret-keeper and James and Lily bother put it in each of their wills who the real secret-keeper was."
Third Question: "Are you now or ever was a Death Eater?"
Answer: "No, I am not nor do I even have the Dark Mark.
Fourth Question: "Did you fire the spell/curse that killed the 13 muggles after the Potter's Death?
Answer: "No, I did not and if you had checked my wand it would have shown that I did not do it."
"Auror Tonks, would you please get Sirius Black's wand and check it for previous spells." Said Fudge.
Tonks took Black's wand out of the sealed container and put her wand to the other to see the echoes. There was no spell work that showed blowing a street apart and killing anyone.
Madam Bones said, "That they had no more questions for him and that it was time for a vote and verdict. All those in favor of Not Guilty or Innocent raise your hands now." There were 45 hands raised. "All those in favors of guilty raises your hands." There were five hands including the Minister of Magic and his undersecretary Madam Umbridge. She knew that the Crown Prince will be getting rid of Fudge and his stooges soon."
"Sirius Black, you are here by declared innocent of all charges. Your blood-adopted son will be in you custody by the time that you leave her today. Also you will be given compensation of one million galleons for neither improper handling of his trial and not testing the wan nor questioning the person before sending them to prison. We will also like to pay for all medical bills that you will have been regaining your health." Fudge said.
Jacob Willis stood up and gave the sign to the Royal Guards before his announcement. "Fudge, the Crown Prince Harry James Donovan-Potter-Black has ordered that you are here by impeached and be held at a Torchwood facility for trial. Madam Bones, he requested that you act as interim Minister until an emergency election can be held."
The Royal Guards placed the magic reducing manacles on Fudge and ported him to a Torchwood holding cell. The members of the press couldn't believe what had been said. The Boy-Who-Lived are the Crown Prince and the Blood Adopted son of Sirius Black. The story they were told that the Donovan heir had been found but weren't told the identity of the heir. They wanted to know who was the heir before Harry thou.
Sirius Black was cleaned up and brought to the gallery to sit with Jacob, Harry, and Hermione to watch the trial of Peter Pettigrew.
Peter Pettigrew was chained to the chair with his lawyer Robert Jones at his side to defend him.
Madam Bones, Heads of the Aurors and the temporary Head of the Magical Law Enforcement were the three main judges and the 50 members of the jury to hear this case today.
Madam Bone's spoke "Peter Pettigrew is charged with Betraying the Potter family to You-Know-Who and Dumbledore, being a member of the Order of the Phoenix and Death Eater, being an illegal animagus, killing 13 muggles and fraud from faking your death. How do your pleas to the charges against you?"
"My client, wishes to enter a plea of NOT GUILTY to all of the charges." Robert replies.
"Let the record show that Peter Pettigrew lawyer said not guilty to all of the charges. We will give the defendant three drops of the truth serum now." Madam Bones said.
Auror Tonks put three drops onto Peter Pettigrew's tongue and waited for his eyes to glaze over. "He is ready for questioning now." Auror Tonks said.
First Question: "Were your James and Lily Potter's secret-keeper."
Answer: "Yes, I was. Dumbledore got Sirius Black to get James to reconsider being the secret-keeper. Dumbledore found out about Sirius Black blood adopting Harry on his first birthday. So we were going to set Black up to take the fall because Dumbledore wanted Harry with the magic hating Dursley's when the Potter died.
Second Question: "Are you a death eater and/or a member of the Order of the Phoenix?"
Answer: "Yes, I am a Death Eater and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore had me spying on the Dark Lord to get information for him."
Third Question: "Are you an illegal Animagus? If so what is your form?"
Answer: "Yes, I am and I have a rat form. I along with Black and Potter became animagus in our fifth year because Dumbledore let Remus Lupin into Hogwarts even thou he is a werewolf. It was Dumbledore's idea for the three of us to become Animagus."
Fourth Question: "Were you the one to kill the 13 muggles after the Potter's deaths and saying that Sirius Black betrayed them?"
Answer: "Yes, I did because Dumbledore didn't want Harry with Black. He was already with a fake will that he would use when he had Black and the Longbottoms out of the way. He also didn't want the truth to come out that his family had been the ones to keep the Royal Family from the throne until they had one that they could control. It wasn't Crouch Jr. or the three Lestranges that tortured the Longbottom and put blocks on Neville Longbottom's mind and magic. Dumbledore and several of his inner circles that did it and then placed the memories into the four before the Aurors arrived."
Fifth Question: "How do you know this?"
Answer: "Because I was the one that was there watching it happen since I was a member of the inner circle."
Sixth Question: "Can you name the other inner circle member that Dumbledore has?"
Answer: "Molly Weasley, Hagrid, Petunia Dursley, Fudge, Umbridge, Hitchens, Figgs, Couch Sr., Emma Granger, Watson Granger, Jones, Crocker, and myself."
Seventh Question: "Who were the four to torture the Longbottom and did the charms on Neville?"
Answer: "Couch Sr., Fudge, Emma and Watson Granger. They used the wands of the other person and put their memories into their minds."
Madam Bones, "That they had no more questions for him and that it was time for a vote and verdict. All those in favors of not guilty raises your hands." There was only one hand rose which was Madam Umbridge. "All those in favors of guilty raised your hands." There were 49 hands raised.
"Peter Pettigrew you are found guilty of all the charges. You are here by sentenced to Azkaban for Life and sentence for the KISS after all trials are finished. You will lose your Order of the Merlin, lost of any properties or moneys in your name unless it is in the Pettigrew Family's Main Vault which goes to your heir Ronald formerly Weasley. If you chose to claim him as your son and heir, and if not it Madam Bones said.
Peter looked at the papers his lawyer showed him the results of the Paternity Potion that Arthur Weasley had done on all of Molly's Children to know which ones were his or not. Peter told the lawyer to claim him as his son and heir.
"Madam Bones, he accepts Ronald formerly Weasley as his heir which will make him Ronald Pettigrew. If we could have Gringotts take care of it." A lawyer said.
"Gringotts will be at his holding cell and while you are at it a temporary guardian must be chosen."Madam Bones said.
