Verdict
"Guilty"
Harry looked at his feet. That word had finished his life.
Of course looking at the stands, what did you expect?
Ron, Hermione and Ginny were standing, in the stands, smiling and laughing overjoyed at the verdict. Along with the order and the rest of the DA
He snorted "some friends, eh" of course, they weren't the only ones the entire wizarding world believed him guilty. And they were right.
"You the defendant, Harry James Potter are sentenced to life in Azkaban prison. And it is only by grace of god you do not get the death penalty." smirked Percy Weasley, minister for magic, "Aurors take the scum away."
Harry rose from his seat in front of the wizengamont. "Life in Azkaban instead of death. I am truly thrilled! And it's such an honour as well! I mean honestly what did I do for the honour?!" he said rather sarcastically.
"Ha! You know exactly what you did scum! You-"Yelled a random wizard in the stands.
"Tsk tsk name calling is not nice mister. You should be ashamed." reprimanded Harry with a smile.
"You, you're responsible! For, for, for the deaths of 26 muggles, 14 wizards, 3 dogs, a cat and a rat! Not to mention the devastation caused to local insect populations!" the wizard was now puce in the face.
"Boring!!!"
"Harry, we are all very disappointed in you, what would Sirius and your parents have thought?" said Dumbledore from his seat on Percy's upper right hand side.
"Who knows? Who cares?!" said Harry sadly "But!" he said cheerfully "That's in the past and we'll never know, anyway! What's done is done!"
"Harry I am very disappointed in you. Why did you kill the Dursleys? They were only ever kind? And that exceptionally sweet woman Dolores Umbridge? And the torture of Ms. Bellatrix Lestrange was completely uncalled –"
"Actually the Dursley's locked me in a cupboard for 11 years, so they weren't exactly kind. Dolores made me write in my own blood, the sadist. And well Bella, she totally deserved everything she got. And more, because" here Harry stopped and took a deep breath "SHE KILLED SIRIUS, OLD MAN! SHE RUINED ANY CHANCE I HAD AT A DECENT LIFE AND HOME!"
"Harry, I'm sure tha-" Dumbledore began placatingly but was cut off.
"Don't! They may have deserved it and I don't really care or mourn any of them but that doesn't mean I killed anyone. And do you know what? You bunch of cowards can find someone else to kill Voldie. Because I won't. In fact if I ever see Voldemort again I think, I'll join him! If he'll have the Ex-Golden boy in the death eaters that is!! "
"?????!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"And-"
"Oh great, more" muttered Ron
"And you can all hope that – I heard that Ron – that I stay in Azkaban because if not I'll track down everyone in this courtroom and have revenge on every last one of you. Now I am finished Ron." with that Harry sneered and sat down again.
A rather pale Percy Weasley stood up and nodded to the Aurors, who grabbed Harry and carried him out.
Harry held between the Aurors suddenly through back his head and laughed. A vicious grin spread across his face. Well he knew he was as guilty as sin and they all –except for the idiots who were swayed by his speech- knew it too. Smiling he lost himself in the wonderful memories of torturing the Dursleys.
To an onlooker the look of ecstasy on 16 year old Harry Potters face was just damn terrifying and it didn't help that the Aurors looked scared too. The unholy joy on his face and the echoing cavernous laugh were enough to send many in the opposite direction. For he would get out. He would have revenge. And he would enjoy it. A lot.
