"I call Mr. Sirius Black to the stand."

'Sirius has nothing to do with it,' Harry thought, 'Why is he being called up?' Reginald was a little pissed he wouldn't be able to question the kid, but he could at least ruin the reputation of his father with Mr. Black. Reginald smirked and Draco looked at him suspiciously. Reginald McBitchyPants was planning something, and Draco intended to make sure it didn't go as planned.

"Mr. Black," Reginald said, in a smug voice, "In your knowledge, has Mrs. Granger-Weasley ever used the Dark Arts?"

"No," Sirius replied.

"In your knowledge, has Mr. Potter ever used the Dark Arts?"

"Yes," Sirius said, before Draco could speak.

"Objection!" Draco yelled, "That had no relevance to the case, what so ever."

"Sustained," Amelia said, "The jury will forget the question and answer. Mr. McBitchyPants, may I remind you, that it is Hermione Granger-Weasley on trial here, not Harry Potter. It was proved several years ago that the so-called "Dark Arts" that Mr. Potter used, against Voldemort and his Death Eaters, were well within the law."

"Of course, Judge Bones," Reginald said, before turning back to Sirius, "In your knowledge has Mrs. Granger-Weasley ever been a danger to the students."

"No," Sirius said.

"Is it in your belief that Mrs. Granger-Weasley would cast an Unforgivable?"

"Hermione would never cast any of the Dark Arts on any student," Sirius said. 'Gaara's not a student though,' Harry thought.

"No more questions," Reginald said, smugly. Draco got up.

"Mr. Black, did you see Mrs. Granger-Weasley attempt cast the Cruciatus curse on Gaara Potter?"

"No," Sirius said.

"Were you anywhere near the corridor that Mr. Farbor, and Ms. Ravyn claim Mrs. Granger-Weasley had cast the Cruciatus curse in?"

"No."

"When did you first hear about Mrs. Granger-Weasley being arrested?"

"The morning after it happened."

"So you know nothing of the incident, besides what you were told?"

"Objection!" Reginald called, "Relevance!"

"Overruled," Amelia said, "Answer the question Mr. Black."

"No. I knew nothing of the incident until I was told about it."

"No more questions," Draco said.

"Is that your only witness, Mr. McBitchyPants?" Amelia asked.

"Yes ma'am," Reginald replied.

"Very well," Amelia said, "Then I call a for an extended recess. We will return when the jurors have their verdict."

"It's a real pity they wouldn't let Lupin testify," Harry overheard Reginald say to Hermione, "We could have had the jury against Potter with him." Harry just shook his head. He knew that Remus and Sirius no longer liked him, but he had no idea that they hated him enough to testify against him to keep Hermione of all people out of prison. And she was the one who used the illegal spell, not him.

"Hey mate," Fred came up from behind him, "Sorry about them."

"Don't apologize if it's not your fault," Harry said, "If they wish to be like that, let them be. It's their problem, not mine." Gaara started to wake up.

"Iz'it ovr?" he asked sleepily.

"Almost," Harry said, "The jurors are deciding what happens right now. I'm surprised you managed to sleep through the whole thing."

"Shu was training me," Gaara said, "He said it would be better if I didn't see it."

"I'll have to think him later then," Harry said.

"C'mon gang," George said, "It's time." Everyone filed back into the courtroom and the Aurors brought Hermione back in.

"Has the jury come to a verdict?" Amelia asked, once everyone had settled down. Millicent Bulstrode stood up.

"Yes we have," she said, before opening an envelope and reading from it, "On the charge of 'Use of one of the three Unforgivables' we find Hermione Jane Granger-Weasley…"
