It was time for the trial. Hermione had dressed in her old school uniform. She had gotten some help from Draco though, she had to admit that when it came to things like this he was a master.
" Ok I'm off, are you going to be there in the court ?" Hermione asked.
Draco nodded. " Yeah, so we have to see a lot of Gryffindors" he groaned.
" Not exactly, Harry wanted it to be closed, of course everyone who is going to be there to judge never went to Hogwarts so he will of course have an advantage because everyone believe the golden boy who lived" Hermione said.
" You forgot something" Blaise said as he handed her a popsicle.
" For the nerves, but that was not what I was going to say. What you forgot was that he is the golden boy who bloody hell didn't want to die and is bothering the wizarding world with his shit " he added.
Hermione laughed a bit and went out of the door. She had gotten the help from Draco to apparate as she did not have her wand anymore because of the new rules.
" Well I'm off then" Blaise said and smiled at his friend.
" Will you be back mate ?"
" I hope so Draco I really do, take care of her if I die ok?"
Draco nodded. " Will do"
Blaise apparated to the ministry. He went quickly to the wand department and opened the file cupboard that showed where the wand to each person's was.
" Come on" he hissed as he heard footsteps outside the door. There.
Blaise grabbed the file and ran to the correct spot and grabbed Hermione's wand before shrinking her wand and placing it in a hidden pocket in his coat.
" Freeze" a voice shouted. It was Neville.
" Hey it's only me mate" Blaise said and held his hands up.
" Don't mate me, any last words death eater? "
Blaise wondered for a moment how nuts Neville actually had become during the war, he still believed he was in it for god sake.
" Give my clothes back to Draco Malfoy, you owe me one for letting you see your parents Longbottom."
Neville nodded, " Alright I will send your clothes back to him..., Avada kedavra "
Blaise only stood there, he knew it would come, but he had not thought it would end like this trying to help the one he had started to get feelings for.
" Goodbye Mione, Draco.. Forever" those were the last words that went past Blaise Zabini's lips.
The clothes got sent back to the manor, Draco checked them throughly and soon found Hermione's wand.
" Now it's only you and me " he thought and apparated to the court.
" She was the one who was the brain to the war, she was the one who gave me the clues and helped out, but that was all she was. She wanted to get me out of the way so that she could shine, and the brain of hers could be hailed by everyone just like they hail me today" Harry said as he looked at the court members.
" You're a liar Harry potter" a voice said, it was Draco Malfoy.
" What? Why do you call me a liar ?"
" Well is it not obvious? Do you think she is the brain of all this ? I believe you tried to make it seem like she had tried to kill you because then you could get away with getting divorced from a hooker."
" A hooker, what the hell are you talking about Malfoy ?" Harry thundered.
" Don't you recognize your own wife mate? This was after all the woman you married and how she looked like at Hogwarts, or am I wrong ? Is there something you want to tell the judges ? Like how you tried to kill her ?"
Harry snarled at Draco but did turn his head to the side to see, to be honest he had not bothered to look at Hermione as she would dress exactly like she had when she had gone to Hogwarts, but he was wrong. There she was in a black cardigan, with the Gryffindor crest on, knee high white socks and a skirt so short it could almost have passed as a very thick belt. She had the white blouse unbuttoned and showing her cleavage, the school tie was a bit fat and hung just below the cleavage, and on top of that sucking and licking on a Popsicle.
" Damn" Harry thought, he was trapped. If he said that this was not Hermione then he would be thrown in jail for trying to get someone to portray as her, and if he continued then he was sure the court members would not listen to him because of that damn Popsicle.
" Dear members of the court I thought that food was not allowed to be brought in to this room" Harry said.
" Normally yes, but we... Will let it pass this time" one of the court members said. It was very clear that he and several other of the members was not listening much to what he was trying to say.
" Now Miss Granger, how was Harry at school?"
" He was bad, he punished me if I did not do as he said, so I had to spend hours of time at the library and it was sooo boring" Hermione said and blinked, she leaned forward making her cleavage even more visible.
" Well gentlemen I think we take a small break, it's so very hot in here" one of the court members said, it looked like he was turned on.
Hermione walked to Draco. " Draco there is no way in hell that I want to continue like this I look like I'm a hooker and they look at me like I'm a piece of meat."
" I know, but if you had gone in your regular clothes then the fact that you are a muggleborn will be in mind and they will not care about anything that you say. If you just continue like this then you have an actual chance to win against Harry, but if it had been how you had told Ginny then you would have lost the minute you stepped into this room, it's all an act" he whispered.
" Fine.. But I really don't see why this would benefit me" Hermione hissed.
"It will, if this is successful of course" Draco whispered in her ear, before taking his seat again.
