Guilty of all
"What are the charges?" there must have been at least one "why am I being trialled?" someone might have mentioned it. Not surely, though.
Being in a courtroom by itself is terrifying, especially if one stands on the defendant's chair unbeknownst of one's charges with an indifferent defence… actually with no defence at all.
"I have to know the charges I'm facing!" the accusers spoke amongst them in whispers shooting derisive looks; a middle-aged man with a toothbrush moustache kept staring, almost in a menace, which could be stressing. Overstressing. "I'm in the right to know!" the skin in the arm of the defendant should not be so brutally torn by no reson! And the security people should no pull the defendant away from the hearing without anyone mentioning any sort of charge.
"The sentence is Azkaban" such cold voices are to be kept for criminals not people who are innocent.
"What…?" If the voice happens to fail what can be argued against the unjustified death awaiting you? "You are not to take me to Azkaban with no proper trial and no charges! I am no criminal, why am I being arrested?" the struggle for life has to be endless; even when hope is drained from all bones one should fight still.
"why, you're the dead Lord's sister!" obvious, but one cannot be arrested for being someone's sibling. "rot in Azkaban your lot shall" the killing of people, anyone, as to be thought of, considered and gravely spoken, not announced through toothbrush moustaches so mater-of-factly. That alone is a crime. Murderers!
"Hey!" rage was mentioned to be a powerful feeling "you traitorous scum! I'm on your side, I fought your battles. I fought against him, and never, neither by will nor against it – and believe me I'd be dead before such actions – did I join him in his madness!" perhaps not the best choice of words, but honestly, one his hardly thinking when innocent and sent to death or insanity just as easy.
But the hands of the guards would not stop, they kept dragging and dragging. One is innocent until proved guilty, of the charges presented I cannot be cleared "I FOUGHT YOUR BATTLES!" if shouting can eventually spoil the voice then let this one be destroyed "I saved your lives COUNTLESS TIMES!" even with a certain degree of personal injury "doesn't that mean something?" sometimes it's not your character nor your actions, it's just you alone.
If someone just sopped, just listened.
"what… why--" weakness, dementors. The mind cannot stop, the struggle cannot cease "I am… I'm--" the feared beast come to the courts these days, it is an almost comical thought, was it not because-- "I AM INOCENT!" despite the fact that no one seems to know so, which is no longer a strange thing by now. "Get me off this cell!" the hooded spectres hate rackets, they can't stand having one kicking the door bars so energetically "I NEED FOOD" wait, no… not that! "I'm hungry that's--"
