"Wait!" came a voice and everyone turned around, including Harry, whose eyes widened as he saw who it was.

There standing, panting was Ginny Weasley. Her hair in a mess and she looked weak and her cheeks were flushed as if she had been running. She had a bandaged hand pressed into her stomach as she panted.She was wearing a hospital patient dress. Still, Harry thought she looked so beautiful.

The truth was that Harry had been attracted to the youngest weasley since the start of his second year.He had felt this strange feeling when she had come running down asking her mother where her jumper was.

He had been tempted to talk to her but always held back because of Ron.

"Who are you?"Fudge asked

"Ginevra Weasley" she answered coolly.

Just then Mrs.Weasley came to her and took a hold of her arm in a very tight grip, which caused her to wince. Harry's eyes blazed with anger as he saw this. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Ginevra Weasley,how dare you come here?" she whispered, harshly. Ginny looked at her with anger in her eyes.

"I came here to save an innocent person,mother"she said. She then turned to Harry, who was still looking at her from behind the chair. She gave him a little smile and winced when her mother's grip hardened on her arm. Harry felt something in his chest and he didn't know what it was but he liked it.

Ginny roughly pulled her arm from Mrs. Weasley's grip and turned to Fudge.

"Minister, since I was the only one down in the Chamber and everyone here are saying that Harry possessed me, I think I should get a chance to explain my side of the story" she said. Fudge looked like he was about to protest but Amelia Bones, one of the few people who had raised their hands in defense of Harry,said

"Minister,I think we must hear it. After all you have asked everyone who had no connection to the case. You must take the statement of the main victim." she said and the court nodded. What was the harm.

Fudge sighed and said

"Very well, go ahead, Miss. Weasley"

Ginny came and stood next to Harry,placing a hand on his shoulder and boldly looked up at the court.

"We had all gone to Diagon Alley to get our stuff for Hogwarts.We had a run-in with Mr. Malfoy, who began commenting on something which happened in the book shop. Somehow, his father managed to sneak a diary in between my school books. I was packing my trunk when I saw it. I thought my mother had bought it for me and decided to make it my daily diary. On the first day of Hogwarts, I wrote in it. And imagine my surprise when it wrote back to me. I was uncertain but then it somehow convinced me that whoever was writing to me was good and didn't mean me any harm. I asked him it's name and he said it was Tom Riddle."at this she coughed a bit and Harry looked at her concerned. She shook her head and took a deep breath. "I made it a daily habit to wrote to him until one day it started. I started to forget how landed up in places and corridors or I had these blanks in my memory. It took me a while to realize what was happening but it was too late when I did. I even to tried to tell it to Harry and Ron but I was interrupted by Percy. One day I somehow landed up in Myrtle's bathroom and then everything went black. The next thing I know I am waking up with Harry sitting beside me covered in blood. He was bit by the basilisk as in one of its fangs had sunk in his skin. Then Fawkes came and healed him."she said and sniffed."Harry is innocent. He didn't possess me. So what if he can speak Parcel tongue? I would probably be dead if he didn't know how to. My family, my so-called family, I don't know why they are giving false statements and why they locked me in my St. Mungos' room so that I couldn't come here but I know that harry is innocent. I am willing to give a memory if it helps. And if you still think Harry should go to Azkaban then... "Ginny removed her hand from his shoulder and Harry thought she would go too but then she placed her small hand in his and squeezed it. "then I would go with him." she said and every Weasley gasped. She kept staring ahead as Harry stared at her in awe. She would do such a thing for him?

"Very well then... Another vote of decision is in order, I think" Amelia said and Fudge reluctantly nodded "Those in favor of Mr.Potter being guilty raise their hands"

This time less than half raised their hands

"Those in favor of Mr. Potter being innocent raise their hands"

More than half raised their hands.

"Very well then, we therefore declare Mr. Potter innocent and free of all charges."

As soon as he said this the chains holding Harry opened and he immediately turned and hugged Ginny. Because she was standing he buried his face in her shoulder. He took a deep look, shaky breath.

"Thank you, thank you so much" he whispered into her hair. She hugged him back.

"It was the least I could do" she said back.

Everyone began to leave the court but Harry and Ginny remained in their embrace.

"GINEVRA!!!!" a voice shouted. They broke apart to see Mrs. Weasley coming towards them. "How dare you come here?" she shouted at her causing her to finch back in Harry's chest. He wrapped his arms tighter around her shoulders feeling her tremble. "I cannot believe it. You disobeyed me!!!!" Mrs. Weasley shouted.

"That is enough, Molly!" came a voice and everyone turned to see Amelia coming towards them. She came and stood in front of Harry and ginny "First you blame an innocent boy for doing you knew he didn't do. Then when someone came and helped the ministry from doing a very bad mistake and you threaten and abuse her? Shame on you..." she turned to harry and ginny and said "Come on, we are going" she placed an arm around each of their shoulders and lead them out of the ministry.

"Ginevra!" Molly called out and they turned to see her red with anger "I disown you from this family" she said and they turned and continued on their way. Harry looked at Ginny, who held her head high but somehow he knew she was deeply hurt inside.

They left the ministry and went to Amelia's house.
