Mistakes

Dear Headmaster Dumbledore,

The Ministry of Magic has received an unconfirmed report the you are keeping a would-be vampire childe named Harry Potter from his sire, Malachi childe of vampire Lord Dominus.

The severity of this reported breach of the Decree for the Free Turning of all Would be Vampires has resulted in a hearing to be held immediately. Please report to the Ministry of Magic now.

Hoping you are well,

Yours Sincerely,

Billie Savage

"Headmaster, what an honor it is to have you join us." Amelia Bones said dryly when Dumbledore finally entered the courtroom three hours after he received the letter. "Have a seat." Gesturing to the chair in the middle of the courtroom.

"Amelia!" Dumbledore called cheerfully as he took the offered seat pretending that the chains didn't bother him. "A pleasure to see you as always."

Several snorts were heard around the room at this.

"Headmaster, you are here to answer to the unconfirmed reports that you are once again trying to keep a would-be vampire childe from his sire. What do you have to say for yourself?" Rufus Scrimgeor asked.

Knowing that there was no way to get out of this Dumbledore told the truth. "Yes. I recently prevented a vampire from turning the young Harry Potter into a vampire, however-"

Dumbledore was cut off as loud comments filled the room.

"I always knew Dumbledore was nothing but a biased-"

"Dumbledore is a great man. I'm sure he has a good reason for this disgraceful act."

"-bigot-"

"-about time someone stood up to those disgusting unnatural monsters."

"SILENCE!" Amelia said using a sonorous charm to amplify her voice.

The courtroom quieted immediately.

"Continue Dumbledore." Dolores Umbridge said with a sickly sweet smile on her toad like face. 'Maybe the old fool has some sense in him after all.'

"As I was saying," Dumbledore said. "I only interfered because I thought that the vampire was going to kill the boy. Not turn him."

The court once again filled with noise.


"As much as this decision displeases me Headmaster, the Wizengamot has decided that you are to give the vampire Malachi custody of Harry Potter and pay their coven 3,000 galleons to compensate for any damage that has been done." Amelia said with a look on her face that clearly stated that she wished for nothing more than to throw Dumbledore into Azkaban. "This hearing is dismissed."


AN: I know it is really short and could have been part of the last chapter but don't worry the next chapter is probably the longest one I have ever written. It should be up within two weeks or so
