"Look, Roxanne, I am sorry that I got you pregnant, but there is no way in hell that I am going to let you get rid of my child." James said, getting annoyed. "Hell, I would even use the Consort Clause in mine and Alice's betrothal contract to marry you with."
"No Potter, I want this baby out of me NOW!" Roxanne said.
Watching Roxanne disarm his sister, James left the common room to head to see his Head of House, Remus Lupin, when his mind fogged, all thanks to one word.
"Imperio."
James started to feel the fog possessing him, the Imperius curse taking control of him, making him susceptible to the commands that his controller made.
"Follow me to the Hospital Wing." The voice commanded, hoping that James would not fight the curse. The owner of the voice ensured that the older teen was responding to their commands by casing a monitoring charm on him.
James followed his controller through the corridors of Hogwarts, heading to the Hospital Wing, his mind trying to fight against the Imperius.
The voice that James heard was determined to keep control of him, the abortion was necessary.

"Look, Roxanne, I am sorry that I got you pregnant, but there is no way in hell that I am going to let you get rid of my child." Roxanne heard James Potter say, getting angry with him. "Hell, I would even use the Consort Clause in mine and Alice's betrothal contract to marry you with."
"No Potter, I want this baby out of me NOW!" Roxanne said. She saw the wand that James's younger sister, Rose, had pulled from her robe and, being quick to the draw, Roxanne disarmed the bushy haired girl.
Watching James walk out of the Common Room, Roxanne followed him, intent on making him pay. Handling her wand, Roxanne cast the Imperius Curse on him.
"Follow me to the Hospital Wing." Roxanne commanded, hoping that James would not fight the curse. She could sense his magic was strong so she ensured that the older teen was responding to their commands by casing a monitoring charm on him.
The two of them went into the hospital wing, Roxanne leading the raven haired young man following her, knowing that something was going to happen.

Madam Poppy Pomfrey saw the eldest Potter follow Roxanne Weasley into the Hospital Wing and noticed that something was wrong with the raven haired boy. 'His eyes, along with his entire movements all seem to be off.' She thought, observing the teens.
She headed into her office, ensuring that the two teens were sitting at her desk in the main part of the hospital wing. She pulled the forms from her desk and then suddenly thought about what could be causing James to react like he was.
'It's the Imperius Curse!' Madam Pomfrey thought. 'I need to get Minerva and Remus immediately, they will be able to give me authority to get the Aurors involved.'
Summoning her house elf Petey, she sent him to find the Headmistress and Head of Gryffindor, getting him to send them to her. Petey acknowledged the orders given, disapparating to the Headmistresses Office.
Digging out her Honesty Quill, she left the office carrying it and the parchment, heading into the Hospital Wing to speak to the two students. She just hoped that Petey would get to the two Professors before any damage could be done, especially to the mind of James Potter.

Minerva McGonagall was reading over reports from her staff about the Slytherin Sixth Years and how they were bullying the First Year Gryffindor students. She had tried, on several occasions, to get the Slytherins to stop bullying First Years, no matter what the house, to no avail.
She was about to start writing a letter of expulsion for Scorpius Malfoy, the son of Draco and Pansy Malfoy, when she remembered the words he said to her when she put him in isolation. "When my grandfather hears about this he will get you sacked, you filthy Mudblood lover."
Had the portrait of her predecessor, Severus Snape, a Death Eater who died following the death of Lord Voldemort, killed by his fellow Death Eater, Alecto Carrow, not intervened in the conversation, Minerva knew that she would have ended up turning her wand on the young Malfoy.
She went to start writing the letter when she heard a sound of elf apparition.
"Headmistress McGonny," the elf said, in awe of the Scottish woman. "Madam Poppy has instructed Petey to tell you that you is wanted by Madam Poppy in the Hospital Wing."
"Thank you Petey." Minerva said to the elf, wondering what Poppy Pomfrey wanted of her. "I shall head over to the Hospital Wing immediately." The elf acknowledged her response and disappeared. Grabbing her cloak, she left her office, headed for the Hospital Wing.
Knowing she had a long walk ahead of her, she left her office at speed, transforming into her animagus form of a tabby cat to get there quicker, taking advantage of the cats skills.
Eventually she arrived at the Hospital Wing to see Remus Lupin was standing outside, watching the Healer in her discussion with the oldest Potter child and the teen he had been intimate with.
"Minerva." Professor Lupin said, acknowledging the Headmistress. "Poppy had Petey summon you too?"
"Indeed Remus." McGonagall replied.

Madam Pomfrey placed the form and Honesty Quill that she had obtained from her office on the desk and pushed it towards Roxanne.
"This form, Miss Weasley, is the form for you to authorise the abortion." The Healer said. "You need to read the form then, once you have finished, sign and date it."
Roxanne took the form, not looking at the Healer and holding her wand in her left hand, and signed the form, declining to read the conditions and risk of the ritual to abort her unborn baby.
Handing the quill back to Madam Pomfrey, she felt a change in her magic, it reacting with the Imperius Curse that she had cast upon James.
The Healer handed the form to James who was compelled, thanks to the Imperius Curse that his magic was fighting, to lift the quill off the desk where Madam Pomfrey had placed it. He went to sign the form when the influence of the curse broke, his magical will forcing him to regain control.
"No!" he shouted, not noticing the Headmistress and his Head of House were walking into the Hospital Wing, coming up behind him. He turned to Roxanne, dropping the quill onto the desk.
"I will not sign any form allowing you to abort my child, even if you put me under the Imperius Curse." James said, "I offered to marry you, allowing the child to be born in wedlock, but you refused."
Roxanne raised her hand, intending to slap him, but felt it being gripped at Professor McGonagall grabbed hold of her. Professor Lupin grabbed the wand from Roxanne's hand, casting the charm which would make a list of what was the last 5 spells.
Looking at the list, the Head of Gryffindor noticed that the Imperius Curse had been used.
"Do you want me to summon the Aurors?" Madam Pomfrey asked, knowing that she would need to a be a witness in the event of Wizengamot taking the case to trial.
"Please Poppy. Also could you get Harry and Hermione here, along with Ronald Weasley please." The Headmistress said.
Madam Pomfrey headed to the fireplace, firstly to call the Aurors, then to call the person she had dubbed 'her favourite patient', then Ron and Lavender Weasley whilst the two professors took James and Roxanne to wait for their parents, James in one room and Roxanne in another. Roxanne would soon find out that as she did the crime, she must find out the punishment.
The Burrow, Ottery-St-Catchpole, Devon, England

Arthur Weasley was sitting in the living room of The Burrow, reflecting on how his life had changed, especially following his divorce to Molly Weasley, a woman who he had loved until she took her defence of her daughter, who had been convicted to Azkaban for failure to pay her fines for Perverting the Course of Justice, during the scandal where Harry Potter was up for trial for a crime that he was, ultimately, found Not Guilty of.
He had disowned Ginevra as she had claimed, falsely, that Harry had sexually assaulted her, raping her while he was on the Horcrux Hunt, a hunt to capture soul containers, carrying parts of Tom Marvolo Riddle, the real name of Lord Voldemort. Eventually she had confessed to lying, but the damage was done, the young saviours reputation in tatters.
Arthur knew that his relationship with his youngest son was on the rocks, Ronald getting his former girlfriend pregnant, being forced to marry her in order to have their daughter, who they named Roxanne, in wedlock.
He was sitting chatting to one of his year mates, Hestia Jones, when his fire turned green, a sign of an incoming Floo connection. He saw, popping out of the fire, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Gawain Robards.
"Minister Weasley, you are needed here at the DMLE." Robards said, forgoing the pleasantries. "It is a member of your family involved. Aurors Susan Fletch-Fletchery and Daphne Boot have arrested your granddaughter for using an Unforgivable."
Arthur acknowledged the call and turned to Hestia.
"I know Arthur; I will come to the Ministry with you." Hestia said, getting the cloaks that belonged to Arthur and herself. Together they travelled by Floo to get to the Ministry, intent on seeing what was happening.
