Chapter 10
The Trials.
Friday July 25, 2008
Number 12 Grimmauld Place
It was the day of confrontation, the day of fate sealing, the day of avenging maimed lives physically and mentally, and the day of reviving family lives, couples married or not and relationships between friends. It was 7:45 in the morning, and Harry and Ron were getting dressed into their robes for the trial. Ginny and Hermione were getting dressed at the Burrow.
"I just don't see why Ginny and Hermione couldn't dress with us." Ron said.
"Because, We will be on ahead to the courtrooms getting ready. It's somewhat cruel that trials can almost compare to weddings. We can't see them until the opening ceremony."
"Yeah, but I'm just glad."
Just then the phone rang. Harry picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, is this Harry Potter?"
"Yes it is, who's calling?"
"It's me, Dudley Dursley."
"Oh hey, how's everything?"
Everything's going good. Me and my family came back to our house about 5 months ago and I meant to send you a letter about our lives out of England. But anyway I was happy to hear that you got rid of this Vol-de-mort if I said it right. So what's going on?"
"Nothing much just about to head to trial."
"Trial? What for?"
"I'm going to prosecute those that probably was trying to hunt you and your family down, as well as the one who sent those Dementors on us on that day almost 4 years ago."
"Really? You mean you're going to prosecute the one who sent those creatures that almost took my soul?"
"Yeah."
"Wicked, any possible way I can testify?"
"Well of course that's up to your dad."
"Um, Harry?"
"What is it?"
"I'm actually living by myself now. I mean me being grown and all, I got my own place. While living outside of London me and my parents entered raffles, played lotteries, and all that, but I managed to find a job where we stayed and made a ton of money. The job I had there had one back at home so I asked if there was some way I would be transferred to there, and they said yes. However, even though I'm alone, my mom and dad understood and we're still a family. Dad apologizes for being cruel to you the years you stayed. I guess in some way we have to thank this Voldemort, because even though dad felt that you could have left us for worse, you cared enough to tell us to get out of the country for our own sake. My mom really wanted to apologize to you seven days after we parted."
"Okay, well tell your parents I said hi and I forgive them and tell them I said thank you. But yeah you can testify just send me your address and I'll come for you. But in which way you want me to come?"
"The way that giant told you what you were. I have a fireplace."
"Well, all right. And I have to thank you for doing this."
"No it's me who should be thanking you you did save my soul after all."
"Right. Well be ready in a few minutes."
"Okay."
Harry hung up the phone and Ron was able to hear like a bit more than half of Harry's conversation.
"Who was that?"
"That was Dudley."
"Dudley, your barmy cousin?"
"Yes Ron, aparrantly he wants to testify against Umbridge."
"For what?"
"Surely I told you how almost 4 years ago how I almost got expelled, or at least how you overheard the Order talking about the attack that day?"
"Oh yeah, but I wasn't fully detailed on that though Hermione was only concerned about you and not Dudley."
"Oh, well he was there too."
"Well all right I'll see you at the Ministry then." And Ron left by floo to go to the Ministry of Magic. Harry took the floo, but before he said anything he called for Kreacher
And before him Kreacher and Kamira appeared before him.
"You called for me Master Harry?" Kreacher said.
"Yes, could you and Kamira set the kitchen up for us tonight?"
"But of course Master Harry, The kitchen will be set for this evening."
"Good."
Harry took the floo said the address of where Dudley was staying and a brief second later he was in Dudley's house with Dudley already to go. Dudley was more built than before.
"You got everything?"
"Yeah I got lunch and all."
"Well okay then let's go."
And they ended up flooing together towards the Ministry of Magic at first Dudley was surprised at how everything was operating with the memos flying around the pictures moving on news papers even on the huge wizard frame did he see Kingsley along with Harry, Ron, and other wizards.
"Harry, that's you." Dudley said as he pointed at the frame
"Yeah." Harry replied. As soon as they got to the elevators Harry told Dudley to hold on tight and they dropped down to the courtrooms. When the elevator stopped Dudley was excited.
"If only amusement parks was as fun as this. That was certainly a blast."
"So I see."
"How deep was each basement floor?"
"I don't know, really."
They walked down and made a left to the courtroom that was holding all the trials. Ron was close to the door heading inside.
"What's going on?" Harry asked.
"Nothing really. Everybody's inside waiting. Kingsley is still in his chambers."
"What about Hermione and Ginny?"
"They're here as well. Kingsley told Hermione to stay in my room when Umbridge comes down."
"Oh okay. Uh Ron I'm sure you met Dudley." Harry said while introducing him to Ron.
"Hi." Ron said
"Hey." Dudley said. "So Harry, where will I sit?"
"You can sit anywhere you like. However if you feel like sitting next to non-magic people you can sit next to Lio. Where is he? Ah, here he comes.
Lio had came forth from a crowd and greeted Harry.
"Hey there Harry how's everything?"
"Good. How'd you managed to get here?"
"Kingsley. He wanted to know if I was to play witness to the Umbridge trial."
"You're testifying against Umbridge too?" Dudley asked.
"Yes I am. Harry who's this?"
"Oh Lio this is my cousin Dudley Dursley. Dudley this is Detective Lio Walker a non-magic cop." Harry said.
"Harry I'm aware of the word muggle, no need to keep that from me." Dudley said before continuing. "A pleasure to meet you sir."
"I'm certain the pleasure is mine mister." Lio said as they headed to the stands. Harry saw Ginny from the waist up wearing a white dress shirt and a grey jacket. Ginny saw Harry and blew him a kiss before he sat down next to Ron on the prosecution desk. When 8:30 arrived, the Aurors brought in the Death Eater Albert Runcorn he was forced to sit and was on a long term body binding curse after. The witches and wizards of the Wizengamot has settled and soon enough the court Auror was about to speak.
"All rise for the Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt!"
Kingsley came out and sat down looking at everyone.
"Thank you, you may be seated."
Everybody sat down and Harry got up from the desk and approached the court.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, wizards and witches of all types of blood, and magic and non-magic people alike. We are here for the fate of Mr. Albert Runcorn, an accused Death Eater. The crime against him is dark wizard activity against the innocent."
Harry then returned at the desk to get Albert's wand. To show it to him.
"A wand was taken during your arrest Mr. Runcorn, would the wand I'm holding be yours?" Harry asked but Runcorn didn't speak. "I repeat, is the wand I'm holding right now yours?"
Still Runcorn didn't answer all he did was give Harry a wicked smile.
"If you don't answer the question Mr. Runcorn I'm holding you in contempt of court. Understand?" Kingsley said but after he spoke, Albert laughed.
"Aurors, Remove this man from the court, and send him back to Azkaban."
The Aurors took Albert out of there, on his way out he started laughing maniacally. Harry put his head down on a bench bar to recover from what has happened as he took the interrogation seriously, when Albert started laughing he almost lost it by almost laughing as well. But Harry was about to laugh at the fact of how quickly Albert gave up.
"Harry are you all right?" Ron asked.
"I just need to calm down for a bit Ron I can't believe this had happened, how he quickly gave up like that."
"I know, I don't know if I were to pull somethng like that Harry."
"From the way he was laughing you would have got the same result."
"Well take some time okay Harry? Next up is Rowle and Dolohov."
The Wizengamot already came to a verdict and found Alfred guilty. Next up was Thorfinn Rowle and Antonin Dolohov. They was forced to do the same and was put in a same long term body binding curse. Ron stood up and got out the the desk to approach the court.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, wizards and witches of all types of blood, and magic and non-magic people alike. We are here for the fates of Thorfinn Rowle and Antonin Dolohov, accused Death Eaters. Their crimes against them are dark wizard activities against the innocent."
Ron went back to the desk and took Rowle and Dolohov's wand from the desk. And showed it to them.
"Wands were taken from you upon your arrest Mr. Rowle and Mr. Dolohov are these your wands?"
"Yes." Rowle and Dolohov said in unison. Ron would have thought that they would give up quickly just like Alfred did but he knew that this trial was going to take a hot half hour or more.
"Before I review to the court which spells were cast from these wands is there anything you want to say?"
"Yes, the war the kidnapping of this prosecutor, it wasn't us." Dolohov said. Then Ron shouted a spell at the wands and the court saw every spell that was cast from their wands it took all of 40 minutes before all the spells that was casted by them were done, all the unforgivable curses were shot from their wands at a combination of 35 times, half of that was the killing curse and it only made contact to 7 people.
"Well Mr. Dolohov, your killing curses killed 3 people while Mr. Rowle has killed 4. What do you have to say?"
"Like I said before it wasn't us, we were forced to join the Death Eaters or end up being killed just like we were forced to kidnap you or Umbridge would have turned us in."
Ron really couldn't believe that they said that. He knew that they knew full well what they was doing.
"Your Honor for my first witness I would like to call Antonin Dolohov to the stand."
The Aurors brought Dolohov to the witness stand while he was still in a body binding curse. The court Auror Read him his oath, he agreed and Ron continued.
"State your name for the record please?"
"Antonin Dolohov."
"Now as you stand, I can distinctly remember Mr. Dolohov. That in your exact words when I was kidnapped, you said and I quote: 'We could kill you you know, but then we figured where's the fun in that?' Do you deny saying the quoted words?"
"No." Dolohov said.
"Well If Miss Umbridge was not around and you had the chance to change your decision would you do it?"
"No."
"So you have, no intention of killing me or anyone else"
"Not at all."
"Well, Mr. Dolohov you sure was certain about killing us during that day in that café on Shaftesbury Avenue."
"We were ordered to kill who was with Harry and bring him to Voldemort alive."
"Mr. Dolohov, you are under oath. You just admitted about killing us when you just said seconds ago that you had no intention of doing it!"
"It's like I said before, I was ordered to kill you, but I had no intention of doing it willingly."
"Well Mr. Dolohov, even so that still doesn't discount the fact that you killed three people."
"In which I regret doing so we still stick to our defense that it wasn't us willingly and mentally."
"I have no further questions for this witness. Aurors, you may bring him back."
The Aurors sent Dolohov back into his chair then Ron was ready to call out his next witness.
"Your Honor at this time I'd like to call Harry Potter to the stand."
Harry was shocked at how Ron called him but he knew what to think about and he knew what Ron was doing. Harry was read his oath then Ron proceeded.
"State you name for the record please."
"Harry James Potter."
"As you stand how do you declare Mr. Rowle and Mr. Dolohov?"
"Guilty."
"You were aware of Mr. Dolohov's testimony, right?"
"Of course I was and I believe he's lying. We know and most definitely he knows that deep down if he was really that sorry, He wouldn't done much of anything. Like killing those people for a start. Or torturing or taking control of."
"Thank you. No further questions."
Harry stepped down and went back to his desk.
"If the prosecution has no more witnesses we can come to an end with this trial." Kingsley said.
"I do have more your Honor." Ron said. "I would now like to call Hermione Granger to the stand."
Dolohov and Rowle was shocked when Hermione came out. Upon being in custody they heard from Umbridge that she killed her if they believed in ghosts, in which case they do exist in the wizarding world. They knew that they were in deep trouble. Hermione sat on the stand and was read her oath.
"State your name for the record please."
"Hermione Jean Granger."
"As you stand how do you declare Mr. Rowle and Mr. Dolohov?"
"Guilty."
"You're also aware of Mr. Dolohov's testimony right?"
"Yes. But I know he's lying. If he was truly sorry he wouldn't have pulled on my hair so hard like he did 3 years ago. I almost felt that my head was bleeding."
"Upon my abduction Mr. Dolohov was well concerned about me not giving you up. If, given the circumstance that he was really sorry, that he came to where you was, do you think he would have brought you there on the account of me being abducted any differently than how he did 3 years ago?"
"Unfortunately I can't really say because I don't know for sure. But I think he wouldn't brought me to you any different than 3 years ago."
"Thank you, I have no further questions, Your honor."
After Hermione, 3 more witnesses came to the stand and all 3 had confessed about what Rowle has done one of them had a wife killed by him. It was time for the verdict.
"Those in favor of the Guilty verdict?" Kingsley shouted. Most of the Wizengamot raised their hands when opposed Only 8 from the rest raised their hands.
"Mr. Rowle, Mr. Dolohov, by split decision the Wizengamot finds you two guilty on all charges. You'll be brought back here for sentencing. take them away."
Rowle and Dolohov was disappointed that their defense didn't work upon leaving they had argued against each other. The crowded courtroom was pleased of the verdict they was given.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. We will take a 30 minute recess and then we will be back to continue with the second half of the trials. Court is adjourned."
Everybody left to head to lunch. After Harry got his food he went to sit at the table where Dudley and Lio sat. As they sat and ate, Dudley was speaking to Harry.
"Harry is it true that even us as muggles could give birth to wizards and witches?"
"Uh, yes Dudley, I mean even if you intended to marry and have kids with the intention of all of them being muggles there's a slight chance that you will have at least one who might end up with magical blood. So the thing is Dudley whether that child will end having magic or not it can't be helped. They are living proof."
Harry had just pointed at the Grangers who was walking by.
"Hello Harry, congratulations on your verdicts so far." Mrs. Granger said.
"Thank you but we're not done yet. I assume that Hermione has told you what happened the past week or two?"
"She sure did." Mr Granger said. "And we want to thank you for saving that woman who ended up impersonating our daughter."
"I wasn't the one who saved her. It was him who saved her." Harry said as he pointed to Lio.
"True but for what Kingsley told me you stopped her before she could kill her indefinitely." Lio said.
"Why do I keep forgetting that?" Harry asked and all but Dudley laughed. He just smiled.
"It's okay." Mrs. Granger said.
"So where are you guys heading?"
"To Hermione's new office here she's starting in September."
"Well okay I'll see you guys back at the courtroom then."
"Sure we look forward to coming back." Mr. Granger said as they left to head to Hermione's office.
"Who were they?" Dudley asked.
"They're the parents of my best friend, Hermione."
"Hermione was that her who Ron called to the stand?"
"Yeah. Her parents are muggles, and she's their only daughter."
"Was she born a witch?"
"Yes. Although it was a kind of shock that they found out but then they took Hermione being a witch as a blessing. Before Voldemort took over this wizarding world favored pure-bloods with their laws making it hard upon half-bloods like me and muggle-borns like her."
"Really? Wouldn't that be 'wizardcist'?"
"What would that be?" Lio asked.
"I would call it wizard discrimination." Dudley said. "Let's just say it would be a new 'ism' to the world.
"It's funny how no one would think of that Dudley but you did."
"Yeah and I thought racism's bad. When will everybody learn that were all the same inside?" Dudley has now seen Harry in a new light and let him now notice that even Harry was a wizard he's still human just like him and Lio. "Harry, have I apologized yet to you about everything?"
"If 'I don't think you're a waste of space' was meant as an apology then yes."
"Well let me apologize properly this time by saying I'm sorry for giving you trouble the past years you stayed with us and I apologize for what I said about your mom."
"Forgiven."
"I forgot that she was my aunt. I guess when you think that having magic makes you a freak, the more you put that in perspective. When all this time my entire family has been cruel to you and you mom, you kept your cool on things. But us insulting you about what you were, were just a light hit with a whiffle ball with what you put up with in this wizarding world."
"Well believe me, I didn't let that get to me either. To tell you something I'm half blood and my friends has been called names for wizards."
"Like what?" Lio asked.
"Well for pure-bloods like Ron they called him a blood traitor his entire family was called that by many."
"Well with what I found out and learned. I will assume that blood traitiors would be pure-blooded wizards who believes in equality with half-blood and muggle borns?" Dudley asked.
"Pretty much." Harry said. "But it's also when they decided to marry other people wizards half-blood or less and muggle alike."
"I will assume that's not the worst of the names for wizards." Lio said.
"You were right on that assumption Lio. For muggle borns like Hermione they call people like her a mudblood."
Dudley couldn't believe what was just said it was already bad enough that his aunt was muggle born just like his mom and now having the possibility of her aunt being called such a name had really made him angry at that fact that even if he was a wizard himself he would threat any who would dare insult him with that. Harry could see how angry he was.
"Dudley, It's okay because I'm going to let you and Lio in on a secret or two."
"What is it?" Lio asked.
"Even Hermione herself was proud to be called that. She didn't let this wizardcism get to her and... She will be working within the department of Magical Law Enforcement where soon she will rewrite the laws of our world so that wizards of all blood types with have equality."
"And she's a muggle born. But how will the pure blooded wizards react to the new laws once they are made? Don't you think some will try to protest or make threats to you and them?"
"They could try, but if they ever were to threat us, It be straight to Azkaban with them."
"Kingsley told me about this killing curse being unforgivable." Lio said. "I spoke to Kingsley and he said that the sentence for killing will earn the conjurer a life sentence in that prison, whether the conjurer has remorse or not."
"Yeah that's right."
"However I feel that using the killing curse and being guilty for it they should create a death penalty for it. Especially for those who kill with no remorse."
"Yeah." Dudley said agreeing with Lio. "You should tell the minister that Harry."
"I will soon enough." Harry said. As the 3 continued eating it was only 10 minutes left before the trials continued. Ron , Ginny, and the rest of the Weasleys saw Harry, Dudley and Lio and sat with them. They introduced themselves and had a good chat. Soon later Neville, Dean, and Seamus came to Harry and wanted to talk to him somewhere out of view of everybody.
"What is it guys?" Harry asked.
"Harry, next up is the Carrows and they plan to make you lose it in the courtroom." Seamus said.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"They tortured us 2 years ago of course you know nobody was exempt not even Ginny." Neville said.
"In what manner?"
"Well you'll find out." Dean said. "All we want is to see those Carrows get punished. But in order for that to happen you would need to keep cool."
"One outburst from you and you will have the Wizengamot feel that they are innocent giving the students at Hogwarts from that year grief, disclosure, pain." Neville said.
"If you wont do it for you, Harry, do it for Ginny." Seamus said.
"For the students and staff of and Hogwarts itself." Dean said.
"For Dumbledore and McGonagall." Seamus said.
"But most importantly for us Harry, for Griffindor." Dean said.
"No for Dumbledore's Army." Seamus said.
"No, for Fawkes' Embers." Neville said.
"I will." Harry said. And with that the time was over and the second part of the trial was ready to begin. The court rose before Kingsley who came back to his bench he told them to be seated again and that court was back in session Harry and Ron addressed the Court to Amycus and Alecto Carrow as accused Death Eaters. And after hearing most of Dumbledore's Army. And a few staff members from Hogwarts, Harry was calling out Luna who took the stand and was read her oath.
"State your name for the record please."
"Luna Lovegood. Daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood, writer and editor of Quibbler."
"As you stand how do declare Mr. and Miss Carrow?"
"Guilty."
"During your sixth year at Hogwarts did you ever receive any unreasonable detentions?"
"Yes, I've had about thirteen or fourteen. When Amucus was picking on Ginny I would divert his attention to me, though he said it would be a challenge to break me, seeing as I always seem to be smiling. I was put in a cruciatus curse for 3 times out of it. It did hurt me. But I didn't let pain stand in my way. Whenever I was screaming, I screamed as if I enjoyed it and he found pleasure in that."
"After the thieteenth or fourteen time what happened?"
"Neville had found the Room of Requirement and had led me in there as shelter from them as well as the others who couldn't take it."
"How did Neville and Ginny feel about your torment?"
"They were sad and angry, but glad that I was able to hold my own and not give in, especially when I was called all types of names by Amycus. But you can say it's well worth it for they're on trial for such crimes. But me and Neville also was proud of ourselves that as much as Ginny was a target we've protected her. Even if it meant for Amycus who was really trying to, how would the muggles phrase it? 'cop a feel'?"
Harry was angry but he didn't show it to the Carrows. Still he kept promise to Neville, Dean, and Seamus, by keeping his cool.
"Thank you, No further questions."
Luna got down and went back to her father. Then Harry signaled for Ron to take over. They were taking turns calling witnesses.
"The next witness I would like to call is Neville Longbottom." Ron said. Neville took the stand and was read his oath.
"State your name for the record please."
"Neville Longbottom."
"As you stand, how do you declare Mr. And Miss Carrow?"
"Guilty 50 times over."
This had brought anger to the Carrows faces.
"During your final year at Hogwarts, did you receive any unreasonable detentions?"
"Out of the entire seventh year students of Hogwarts, I was the one who had the most detentions. After the war was over McGonagall gave the Griffindor house 300 points for outstanding effort in watching over other students." Throughout most of my time there when I received their detentions, I was tortured as well sometimes along with Luna."
"Luna stated that she had received thirteen or fourteen detentions if you said you had the most out of Hogwarts how many did you receive?"
"Seventeen. Some was shared with Luna, two was shared with Ginny, and a couple was shared with Luna and Ginny but most were by myself. During the dungeons when first years and others would cry they would cry for their parents and Alecto would tease them saying that their parents are in Azkaban and that they would never come out. That had really angered me at that point I felt like stunning them both and put them away or fight fire with fire by using the cruciatus curse but then I had to find a safehaven for us so I went into the Room of Requirement and told everybody to go there. When Alecto had Ginny I stunned her and ran with Ginny to the Room of Requirement. Now I apologize on my part of what I did to them but that didn't discount the fact that they've been so mean to everybody. Whenever Amycus would tease Ginny whenever I was around I would threaten to stun him if he ever did something to her. I hated all their detentions, but as I stand here now each and every detention is well worth it and I hope they serve their detention indefinitely for what they've done."
"Thank you. I have no further questions."
Neville stepped down and went back to his seat next to his grandmother. Before the next witness is called, Ron and Harry were discussing something until Kingsley spoke up.
"If the prosecution has no more witnesses we can come to an end with this trial."
"We have one more your honor." Harry said as he looked at Neville, Dean, and Seamus. Realizing the promise he kept to them he took a deep breath, for he was in for what was about to go down."
"Your Honor I'd like to call Ginny Weasley to the stand."
Quickly Ginny stood up and got to the witness stand. She sat down and was read her oath. Then Harry took one good look at her before he proceeded.
"State your name for the record please."
"Ginevra Molly Weaseley."
"Your name sounds so sexy, Ginevra." Amycus said.
"Mr. Carrow, you're out of order." Kingsley said. "Mr. Potter, proceed."
"Thank you. As you stand how do you declare Mr. And Miss Carrow?"
"Guilty."
"During your final year at Hogwarts, did you receive any unreasonable detentions."
"Yes, I only had ten or eleven detentions."
"You had eleven." Amycus mouthed. Ginny saw that, but she kept on paying attention to Harry.
"Like Neville said, two of them was with him. Two more was with Luna. Two was with Neville and Luna and I received the rest with them alone. Amycus was always looking for a reason to tease me. Almost every 2 weeks that he saw me, he would use his wand to either dirty, rip, or take off my skirts. Whenever that would happen, the Slytherins would call me either dirty, filthy, nasty, or naughty."
"Did the Carrows ever touch you?"
"Amycus really wanted to touch me, there were a couple of times where he would attempt to even try to when I was alone the first time he tried, McGonagall stopped him and gave him a piece of her mind, before Alecto and Snape had told her to stop. The second time he tried I told him to bugger off or I would hex him but he didn't listen. So as soon his hands got within an inch of my body. I hexed him good and from that day when the students saw me they went on ahead and cheered. During the second time Neville and Luna saw that and they had hexed them as well. They took my punishment that day but I knew I was going to pay for it after."
"What happened after that day."
"After that day Amycus and Alecto had them in the dungeons for less than half of the year, Neville and Luna would tell me what had happened so when I went to visit them. That's when Amycus and Alecto gave me an ultimatum. Having tortured Luna 3 times already they were going to torture them more. They gave me a choice... They told me that this was my punishment and they were suffering from it, they said the only way to stop it if I take responsibility for what I've done to him or they were going to be tortured for as long as possible. I told them to take me in their place. Every week for the remaining 5 weeks they would torture me and laugh at my pain."
"And believe me Ginevra, I enjoyed every second of your screams." Amycus said. "But I really wished you would call out for your boyfriend."
"Order!" Kingley said while striking his gavel to the bench. "Mr. Carrow one more outburst from you and I'm holding you in contempt of court."
Ginny saw Amycus licking his lips, but Harry only saw half of it. He was getting worked up, but he was able to control it.
"Mr. Potter, you may continue."
"Thank you your honor. As you were saying Miss Weasley?"
"Once Neville found the Room of Requirement I was so relieved all I had to do was wait. And sure enough when Alecto was taking me to the dungeons, Neville stunned her and took me with him inside the Room of Requirement. My best part of the nightmare was over. And as I stand here I have no regrets of what I did to Amycus, save one."
"And what regret was that?" Harry asked.
"The day when he really wanted to touch me in which I think was going to be inappropriately, I shoudn't have hexed him."
This prompt another smile from Amycus as he blew Ginny and air kiss.
"And what made you regret that Miss Weasley?"
"The fact that I should have hexed his bits instead! However short they were."
When Ginny said that, she looked at him on the word 'bits'. Alecto lost it by screaming threats and insults at her, Amycus now got angry at the fact that she said his package was small, he spat at Ginny but missed on all his attempts. The entire Wizengamot gave a verdict and Kingsley was ready to speak again. They didn't even wait for Ginny to get off the witness stand.
"Mr. And Miss Carrow. By an unanimous decision the Wizengamot finds you two guilty on all charges. You'll be brought back here for sentencing. take them away."
Cheers started roaring when they were being taken away. When Ginny came down from the stand, Ginny just smiled at the Carrows when they were out of sight Ginny took a bow at the people of the court before heading back to her family where she received kisses and hugs from everyone of her brothers and her mom and dad. She even got a huge hug from Hermione who was in tears, before she went somewhere for a brief second. Harry went back to the prosecution desk waiting for Ron to come back from hugging Ginny. When Ron came back he hugged Harry.
"Well done mate." Ron said.
"Thanks."
"I am very proud of Ginny."
"What to expect Ron? She's a Weasley and your sister."
"But she's also your girlfriend."
Harry couldn't believe that he said the but he just smiled at him. Then he saw Dudley come down he wanted to talk to him.
"Congrats again Harry. But how many more trials before Umbridge?"
"She's next Dudley."
"Brilliant. Just take this home for us."
"Oh I will."
Harry went back to the desk and before long, In come Dolores Umbridge long term body bound cursed after she sat. And Harry came down to address the court one more time.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, wizards and witches of all types of blood, and magic and non-magic people alike. We are here for the fate of Miss Dolores Umbridge, an accused Death Eater. The crimes against her are as follows: Dark wizard activity against the innocent, falsely convicting the innocent, crimes against muggles and muggle borns, numerous counts of assault, and attempted murder."
Harry went to the desk to take the final wand that was there and showed it to her.
"A wand was taken from you upon your arrest, Miss Umbridge is this your wand."
"Yes." Umbridge answered.
"Before I review to the court which spells were cast from these wands is there anything you want to say?"
"I know I'm guilty. And I can't believe they got you and Ronald as prosecutors you have no experience this is grounds for a mistrial."
As Harry cast a spell on Umbridge's wand all her spells she ever said were coming out but she didn't cast a lot over the years it was only 15 minutes before the entire spell list from that wand was over.
"For my first witness Your Honor, I'd like to call Dolores Umbridge."
The entiire room gave a combined dragged gasp and Umbridge gave off one of those giggles which would normally make Harry's skin crawl, but he was focused. Umbridge was on the stand and was read her oath and Harry continued.
"State your name for the record please."
"Dolores Jane Umbridge. Senior Undersecretary of the Wizengamot."
"Don't you mean former Senior Undersecretary?"
"No."
"That is weird because when Voldemort was gone you left your post, wanted for these crimes. But for my last question. Are you happy about what you've done to everybody?"
"I could never be more giddy with what I'm done and I'm glad that mudblood Granger is gone. And yet I'm surprised that Ron didn't get angry with you for losing her. Now who will take her place in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement?"
"I have no further questions for this witness." The Aurors brought Umbridge back to her seat and Harry had spoke again.
"Let the entire courtroom know that she has admitted guilt with what she done."
Harry had turned to Umbridge with a serious look it was time to hit her hard with the truth.
"Miss Umbridge, one of your charges is attempted murder, at this time I would like to let the courtroom know of the person who Umbridge claims she had killed: Hermione Jean Granger.
At that point Hermione came out and surprised Umbridge and she was disgusted at how she was looking at her. Hermione smiled and went to sit next to her parents.
"Your Honor for my first witness against Miss Umbridge I would like to call Cho Chang to the stand."
Cho came out the same way Hermione came out, and sat at the witness stand. She was read her oath and Harry continued.
"State your name for the record please?"
"Cho Chang."
"As you stand, how do you declare Miss Umbridge?"
"Most definitely guilty."
"During your fifth year at Hogwarts how did it go so to speak?"
"Terrible that was the worst year I've ever attended at Hogwarts. Whenever we were supposed to do something fun she cancels it out and yet we were supposed to learn about fifth year and put those in detention for whoever talked about Voldemort returning saying that they were lies. Upon creating Dumbledore's Army, whose main purpose was to defend ourselves from Death Eaters not to go against the Ministry."
Cho took deep breaths before continuing.
"The day Umbridge used me as a tool to flush out the Room of Requirement of Dumbledore's army, Umbridge had her helpers from her inquisitorial squad grab me and held me down while she forced that veritaserum down my throat, for me to give up the location of where we was training. After that, everybody from the Army and Ravenclaw haven't talked to me for almost the rest of the year. Umbridge also threatened to sack my mom from the ministry if I didn't give up the position."
"After the war was over what happened?"
I was reunited with my mom and dad and spent as much time as I could with them.
"Since that day 3 years ago did you ever wanted to get revenge on Miss Umbridge?"
"Yes."
"How did you manage that Miss Chang?"
"One day I was walking past the warehouse and I heard screaming from inside so I went in the front and stayed in the main room the whole time while taking a look inside I saw her and three Death Eaters torturing Ron while making a message to you about her demands. After I heard that message I talked to Luna and asked if she could get A bit of Hermione's hair. She was able to, and was able to get it to me in time. On that day which happened to be Ron's birthday, I've perfected the polyjuice potion and drank it 5 minutes before the demand deadline and entered as Hermione."
"We're you successful?"
"Partially. I manage to help free Ron and help get him to safety then I went back for Umbridge and fought with her. She almost killed me with the killing curse. I was able to dodge it, but I bumped my head on the narrow side of the door hard and was unconscious in which after I slipped into a coma. I was in a coma for 2 1/2 months my left arm and my ribs were broken. Had it not been for Lio I would have been dead."
"Lio as in Lio Walker, detective of the London Police?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, I have no further questions."
Cho stepped down and went back to her parents.
"For my next witness I would like to call Lio Walker to the stand."
Lio came up and went to the stand. After he was read his oath Harry continued.
"State your name for the Record please."
"Detective Lio Walker, of the London Police."
"As you stand how do you declare Miss Umbridge?"
"Guilty."
"Before you knew about the wizarding world What was you doing?"
"I was working with my fellow detectives on cases of murder, theft, assault, etc."
"And when have you known about the wizarding world?"
"It was August 28th, 2006 I was just on my break and I happened to walk by a trash can with a paper called the Daily Prophet, as I was reading an article it had this article about muggles being arrested and I saw a name that was familiar, it was the name of a boy's mother who was abducted during one of my cases in which her husband was killed. The boy couldn't give a description due the the fact that they wore masks."
"Did anything happen to the boy Detective Lio?"
"He was put in foster care until his mother came back for him."
"Well Detective, upon that evidence of the paper you kept it happen to reveal that the boy's mother was a muggle born witch. But, only under the assumption that she only told her husband and nobody else because she didn't want to let everybody know. And the boy is a wizard. Were you aware of that?"
"I may have miscalculated on the whole wizard blood thing as I would only assume, when I didn't know that even muggle couples could produce a witch or wizard at the time, that a magical woman would have to be impregnated by a magical man to produce a magical child. Making me believe that only the mother was the only one capable of doing magic."
"Upon now knowing about this, are you aware that the abduction of the mother was engineered by Voldemort, and that the falsely conviction was done by Miss Unbridge?"
"No I wasn't aware until now."
"Now how did you find out about Cho Chang?"
"During my Investigation. I received intel that there was something going on inside a warehouse. I staked out at the back with a van, until I saw wizards like you infiltrating I didn't want to blow my investigation by revealing myself so I took off and parked about a block away at the front. As I went in There were flashes of lights all over the place explosions, fire. I found Cho a corridor away from where you was leaving out to chase Miss Umbridge Cho was unconscious and was covered waist high with rubble I managed to get her out of there before the room collapsed. And out of the warehouse before it exploded."
"After saving Cho what did you do?"
"I went to my Captain and told him everything that happened although he didn't believe most of it until he saw the news, that's when he then didn't believe parts of it like the spells and the magic people. After 2 1/2 months when Cho woke up I questioned her about what she done and how did you get knocked out and she told me the same story she had just told the entire court."
"Thank you. No further questions."
Lio got down and went back to his seat then Harry was ready to call his next witness.
"Your Honor, for my next witness I would like to call Dudley Dursley to the stand."
Dudley soon got up and went to the stand. Once he sat down he was read his oath and Harry continued.
"State your name for the record please."
"Dudley Dursley."
"As you stand, how do you declare Miss Umbridge?"
"Guilty."
"Mr. Dudley are you aware of Dementors?"
"Not until after I was fifteen when you told me about them."
"Were you aware that it was Miss Umbridge that sent those Dementors that day on us?"
"No, not until you told me."
"Would you like to explain to the court what happened on that day?"
"During that day it was just like any other day you were just sitting on the swing while me and my friends were chatting. Other than the fact that I insulted you, it suddenly turned dark and we were able to make it under a tunnel before it rained. Then it got cold, and suddenly you was lifted into the air by a Dementor. I couldn't see who was attacking you, but you told me to run. I slipped on ice and fell, then I felt sick, I felt like my entire skin was about to come off my body. Had you not saved me my soul would have been gone. And if I were to die, would I still be able to get to Heaven if a Dementor has my soul?"
"And on that day when I got a letter from the ministry what did the letter say?"
"That you was expelled from your school for the crime of producing a patronus charm in the presence of a muggle."
"Of course. It was because of Miss Umbridge sending those Dementors on us that I had to use a patronus charm it was either me getting expelled for saving both our souls, or getting both our souls sucked out of us. Thank you, no more questions." Dudley got down and went back to his seat next to Lio. Harry then faced Kingsley.
"Your Honor, at this time I would need to take a short bathroom break while Co-Prosecutor Ron takes over."
"Your break is granted Mr. Potter. Mr. Weasley if you have witnesses please call them off."
Harry went to the bathroom and came back 25 minutes later. When he got back he found out that Ron already called Mary Cattermole, Hannah Abbott, and his own brother George to the stand. He was now talking to Ginny.
"And Miss Weasley." Ron said. "Were you aware of Miss Umbridge's demands that day stating that if Harry and/or Hermione was successful to save me and escape she would have sent the Carrows to kidnap you?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, No further questions."
Ginny stepped down and rejoined her family. Harry went to Ron and was brought to speed about who he interrogated. Then Harry took it from there.
"Your Honor. At this time I would like to call Hermione Granger to the stand."
Hermione got up from her seat and went to the stand. She was read her oath and Harry continued.
"State your name again for the record please."
"Hermione Jean Granger."
"As you stand, How do you declare Miss Umbridge?"
"Guilty."
"Miss Granger did you ever had any problems with Miss Umbridge?"
"Not physically, I mean I never was in any trouble with her but she really seemed to have problems finding out what's the truth and what isn't."
"Well Hermione were you aware that she was the head of the Muggle-Born Registrations Committee?"
"Yes it was Instructed on the Daily Prophet that day when we talked to Mundungus Fletcher."
"Was you ever aware of Ron abduction Miss Granger?"
"No, I wasn't until Ron told me."
"How come you wasn't aware?"
"On the week before Christmas I heard that my house was vandelized again and invaded by Death Eaters. And last August I had just lifted my spell off my parents who I had to hide in case of a stupid committee Umbridge made, and because of Voldemort who would torture my parents for information on me, Ron and you. During the break and the second half I told my parents not to tell me anymore. They must wanted to tell me that day that Ron sacrificed himself for my parents and I thanked Ron for that."
"Where were you during Ron's abduction?"
"Still in Hogwarts completing my year, I never answered to her demands. However when she looked at me earlier it almost looked like she has seen a ghost."
"Well were you aware that Cho Chang impersonated you."
"Not until a week ago."
"And did you know about Ron being in a coma?"
"No, not until the day I saw Ron again he told me everything that happened."
"Thank you, No more questions."
Hermione got down and went back to sit with her parents then Harry was ready to call his next witness.
"Your honor, I'd like to call Ron Weasley to the stand."
Ron knew that Harry was going to get to him soon enough he was wondering when Harry was going to call him to the stand, and sure enough: it was time. Ron went to the stand and sat then he was read his oath, then Harry continued.
"State your name for the record please."
"Ronald Bilius Weasley."
"As you stand, how do you declare Miss Umbridge?"
"Guilty."
"Did you have problems with Miss Umbridge?"
"The only problem I had with her was when she and those Death Eaters abducted me. They really wanted to kill you and Hermione or kill me If you both didn't show up in a manner of taking me away forever. I tried to tell her what I would do to her If she even tried to cast a killing curse on her but Dolohov tortured me with the cruciatus curse."
"How long were you abducted?"
"2 1/2 months."
"When you were rushed to the hospital, what happened?"
"Due to her and those Death Eaters with their abusive overuse of that curse. I was in a coma for 3 1/2 Months. I couldn't do a thing. Not even dream about anybody or anything.
"Thank you, No further questions."
Ron got down and he walked past Harry and then he stopped.
"If the prosecution has no more witnesses we can come to an end with this trial."
Harry looked at Ron who was still looking at the desk. They were silent until Kingsley spoke again.
"Has the wiz-"
"Your Honor?" Harry asked.
"Yes Mr Potter."
"I do have one more witness."
"Very well then proceed."
"For my final witness..." Harry said while looking at Umbridge. "I call myself to the stand." This was a triumphant moment for Harry even though he was not victorious yet on this trial. All of Fawkes' Embers cheered for Harry who had also stood up for what problems he had with Umbridge. Kingsley was able to silence the court in a moment. Ron smiled and was able to share a tear. He wiped it and looked at Harry who already was read his oath, was ready to testify for what could be his final time against these Death Eaters.
"State your name again for the record please."
"Harry James Potter."
"As you stand, How do you declare Miss Umbridge?"
"Guilty."
Ron looked at Harry's left hand.
"That's a nice tattoo there Mr. Potter. Would you mind telling me what that says?"
"It's not a tattoo it's scars of letters on my hands in forms of words which says 'I must not tell lies.'"
"The same words on Mr. George Weasleys hand?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell the court where you got those scars from?"
"They were forcibly written on me by none other than that woman."
"Miss Umbridge?"
"Yes."
"Why did she write that on your hand Mr. Potter."
"For 2 reasons. One was because she thought I told a lie about Voldemort being back, and two was because she believed, and yet she still does, that naughty children deserved to be punished."
"Do you think the testimonies of Mr. Dudley Dursley, Mr. Lio Walker, Mrs. Mary Cattermole, Miss Hannah Abbott Miss Cho Chang, Mr. George Weasley, Miss Hermione Granger and Miss Ginny Weasley are accurately true?"
"Yes I was the eye-witness to most of their testimonies. But especially to your testimony and mine is as well."
"Thank you." Ron said and then he looked at Kingsley. "Your Honor, I have no more questions for this witness and the prosecution rests."
The Wizenagamot was giving a verdict but then Umbridge spoke up.
"Kingsley, If you must know that as a Senior Undersecretary Surely you can convince the Wizengamot That I am not guilty for such heinous crimes Even when Voldemort let Pius took over I still was Senior Undersecretary.
"Kingsley turned to the Wizengamot and looked at them before he looked at Umbridge again.
"Those in favor of the guilty verdict?"
While Kingsley said that, Umbridge was shocked that they found her guilty and was about to go berserk for what Kingsley was going to say next.
"Miss Umbridge, by a unanimous decision, The Wizengamot finds you guilty on all charges you will be brought back here for sentencing. take her away. The court will take a 30 minute recess. We will return for sentencing and the cases will be closed. Prosecution will take a 15 minute break. And join me and the Wizengamot for the decision of sentencing. Court is ajourned." Everybody cheered that Umbridge was guilty on all charges and for Harry who was now officially triumphant. He and Ron shook hands and left out the courtroom together with an arm over each other's soldier.
"Well done, mate." Ron said.
"You too. So where are you headed?"
"I'm going to get Hermione and show her my office. Hey Harry. Are we celebrating at Grimmauld place tonight?"
"Of course we are."
"Good. I'll tell my family then. I'll see you back at the courtroom for the sentencing."
"All right."
"Harry went back to his office and sat down at his desk he had his eyes closed for he could not believe he did it. He along with Ron put away 6 vicious Death Eaters. All that's left was the sentencing. Once he opened them again he looked inside for one of his drawers and pulled out a small velvet plum box, he dropped the box under the desk and went under it to grab the box. As soon as he did get it the room suddenly went dark and the shades were magically blinded so that no one could see through. Harry got from under the desk and found that his windows were magically blinded but as soon as he pulled out his wand he heard a familliar shout.
"Expelliarmus."
Harry's wand flew backwards. He turned around and saw Ginny standing on his desk with her legs spread apart a little wider than normal.
"Harry James Potter, although you may have clean swept a trial of 6 Death Eaters. I find you guilty."
Ginny had a seductively wicked smile on her face.
"Your crimes: Working and being in a relationship in an unchristenized office."
Ginny charmed the door with a silencing charm.
"You are hereby sentenced to make love to me in this room..."
Ginny got down and wrapped her arms around Harry's neck.
"...And obey my every order. Now bring me to the wall."
Harry brought Ginny to the wall as ordered, whereas he lifted her up and pinned her to the wall. She wrapped her legs around him and squeezed a little to tight for Harry to feel pain.
"Ginny love, as much as I love to feel your slender silky legs wrapped around me do you have to squeeze too hard?"
"No. The reason why I'm squeezing too hard is because..."
Ginny squeezed tighter than before.
"Aagh!"
"You may get away with it in the courtroom, but out of there, I never want you to call me 'Miss Weasley' again."
Harry groaned for a bit trying to fix himself between her legs when he was panting when he was able to breathe a bit better.
"You're right, which brings me to my next step."
"Which is..."
Harry got out the box he pulled from out of his desk.
"To ask you this: Should I still call you Ginny Weasley..."
He opened the box and inside was a diamond gold ring. Ginny looked at the ring and was breathless to see it. Then she looked at him.
"...Or should I soon be calling you Ginevra 'Ginny' Molly Potter?"
"Harry..." Ginny's eyes started to well up.
"You said last August that you and Hermione was wondering when will me and Ron ask you two to marry us. And to give you a proper answer to the question at the wedding, no I don't think it's silly. They were completely in love and they knew that what was enduring was part of everyday life."
Harry and Ginny had a silent moment together looking at each other's eyes before Harry continued.
"If you was wondering about this day I couldn't think of a better time than now to do this. I know that I was 1 out of 3 on your wish being one big happy family."
"I know. But at this point I really don't care."
"So, Ginevra Molly Weasley..."
"Potter." Ginny said, trying to correct him.
"Sorry?"
"Yes Harry, I'll marry you! I would love to be your wife!"
Noticing Harry's left hand is still supporting Ginny's weight his right was able to take the ring from the box and with no concern of where the box would land, he threw the box over his shoulder and the box landed on the desk in an upright position. He slid the ring on her finger and gave her a long passionate kiss. Harry could feel her tears on his lips when they broke from it Harry kissed her tears away.
"Should we tell everybody?"
"Not yet, unless you are desperate to tell Hermione so bad that you'll want to pardon my sentence."
"Who says I'm pardoning you? You are still going to make love to me in this room Harry Potter."
"Well then, I only got seven minutes to do that before meeting with Ron for sentencing."
"I'll take whatever time you got."
"And I will assume you're on the potion?"
"Assumption correct. We have until 8:00 in the morning. Now please, take me."
Harry wasted no time. He unzipped his zipper and pulled his member out from his boxers, then he lifted Ginny's skirt up and placed himself inside her tearing through the fabric of her navy blue knickers. He would have taken her knickers off but Ginny wanted to have every second of this, so Harry assumed that there was no way Ginny was unlocking her legs. And he was thrusting into her like there's no tomorrow. Especially since there's no time to admire her body or take off her clothes completely. He kept thrusting faster and faster, groaning out for Ginny.
"Ohh! Oh, Harry."
"Ginevra!"
He would thrust faster and faster until he was close to coming.
"Oh, Ginevra I'm almost... there!"
"Oh, me too Harry! Do we have time for one more?"
Harry looked at the time and realize that there was only three minutes left. There would be no time for another round.
"No... But I'm almost there!"
"Well please hurry! I want to feel you spill yourself inside me!"
"Ginevra!"
Harry exploded inside her. Which in return made her explode all around him. Sweaty and halfway exhausted, he looked at her before kissing her deeply and softly.
"I have to get back. we'll finish this after our victory dinner."
"Okay because I was about to say that your sentence has been extended."
"I would love to serve my time with you."
Harry and Ginny cleaned themselves up and left the office Harry went back to the courtroom with Ron and they were talking about sentencing after they came to a decision it was time to bring back the 6 Death Eaters. and everybody came in to hear their sentencing. Only Albert was still laughing out of the 6.
"Albert Runcorn, Alecto and Amycus Carrow, You are hereby senetenced to life without parole at Azkaben where you will spend one day every week with a boggart."
Albert wasn't laughing anymore he started to protest and throw a fit while he along with the Carrows were taken back to Azkaban, Leaving Dolohov, Rowle, and Umbridge left for their sentence.
"Antonin Dolohov, Thorfinn Rowle, you are hereby sentenced to life without parole at Azkaban where your Memories will be modified of every activity that includes Voldemort and Harry Potter."
Rowle and Dolohov's memory was going to be erased of Harry and Voldemort. And last but not least Umbridge was left for her sentence.
"Dolores Umbridge You have been sentence to life without parole in Azkaban in solitary confinement for the rest of your life. We're adjourned."
Cheers were given and everybody was happy with the results Harry was already aware that Ron told everybody about dinner at Grimmauld Place. Back at Grimmauld Place Harry along with Dudley Hermione Angelina and the Weasleys was having a victory dinner During the dinner George had wanted to talk to Harry in private.
"Hey George, what is it?"
"You know what it is."
"What?"
"You can't play coy with me Harry, I saw the ring on Ginny's finger. You proposed to her didn't you?"
"Yes I did. But come on, you know I love her."
"Sure of course."
"But who else knows?"
"Dad, Angelina, and Hermione."
"I kind of figure she would tell Hermione."
"Mom doesn't know though."
"Okay."
"Yeah I just hope this doesn't kill mom though."
"And why is that?"
"Because..."
Back at the dinner, Arthur was making a toast to Harry and Ron.
"To Harry and Ron, on their successful verdicts."
"Harry!" "Ron!" Everybody shouted and they all took a swig of their drinks. Harry and Ginny were trying to find out what to do.
"Well Harry." Ginny said. "Any Idea on what date to set for our wedding?"
"How's about next May?"
"I guess May sounds good it gives us time."
"Yeah and I'm now under a new goal as well to capture the remaining Death Eaters before our wedding."
Ginny leaned her head close to Harry and whispered in his ear.
"If you accomplish that I'll be wet for you on our honeymoon."
"Then that will be my number 1 priority then."
Harry gave Ginny a kiss.
"Should we?" Harry asked.
"Yes. let's."
Harry and Ginny stood up to tell the entire table an announcement.
"Attention everybody! We have an announcement to make!"
They all was silent to hear Harry and Ginny speak.
"First, I want to thank everybody for testifying at the trials first of all. With your help we were able to send six people to Azkaban."
They all cheered at that.
"But that's one of our announcements."
"What's the second?" Dudley asked. And at that point Ginny faced her mom.
"Mom, you know how much I love Harry, and Dad I'm sure Harry told you that he plans to spend the rest of my life with me."
"Yes he did." Arthur said.
"Ginny did Harry..."
Ginny placed her left hand on Harry's chest for the ring to be visible for all to see.
"Oh, Ginny! I'm so happy for you!" Molly said before switching from being happy to being serious. "But you aren't going to marry him right away are you?"
"No. In fact we've already set a date for May 25th of next year." Harry said.
"Yes, Mom that gives us time." Ginny added. Molly calmed down at the fact that their marriage was only 10 months and counting. She went over to Harry and Ginny and hugged them both. Followed by Arthur who gave Ginny a hug and Dudley giving Harry a congratulatory handshake. The engagement celebration stopped when George who was getting up fell over because a leg on a chair broke apart. A box slipped out of his pants and was near his hand when it landed. Everybody looked at George lying on the ground. Angelina was the first to tend to George.
"George are you all right?" Angelina asked.
"Besides that fall being nasty, I'm fine. Could you do me a favor and get that box for me?"
Angelina picked up the box and then gave George a not impressed smile.
"Nice try, George but the whole falling for me proposal isn't going to work even if the falling was an accident."
George took the box from Angelina.
"Just great. Because that box wasn't for you. It was supposed to be for Ron."
"For me?" Ron asked.
"Yes, but I advise you not to open it until you show it to Hermione."
"Nice try George, but I'm not falling for any of your pranks unlike you brother."
"Hey!" Ron exclaimed. George took his wand and waved it behind him.
"However Angelina I did leave something for you."
"And what would that be?"
"Check your wand."
Angelina pulled out her wand and found a gold ring with a ruby, a sapphire, and a amethyst jewel on it. George got to the position to be kneeling. Angelina was surprised that George made another attempt to propose and she was surprised that he tried again. Then she noticed something In George's eyes when she looked at him she saw the confidence of Fred inside him, if he was still alive she figured he would try the same thing. Angelina looked at the ring and smiled again.
Well George what are you doing on the floor still it's Un-gentleman-like to have a lady put on her own engagement ring."
"So are you saying yes?"
"If it would stop the attempts of proposing to me, then yes!"
George put the ring on her finger and gave her a kiss and they all celebrated. Arthur celebrated with another toast to Harry and Ginny & George and Angelina. Once dinner was over Harry brought back Dudley to his house and everybody went back home. Harry came back to Ginny to finish his sentence that Ginny gave to him.
Author's Note: I couldn't choose which gift to give all you readers so I decided to play a game and a decision has been made for me. My gift to you readers is Umbridge's fate in the "Harry Visits Azkaban" Chapter which I will type next out of the extended chapter of this and the honeymoon of George and Angelina. This chapter wasn't the extended version, it was to finish off what I couldn't finish in time. Probably tomorrow or the next day, I'll have the next chap up. Until then, I'm glad you read this chap, please give me a review.
