Harry winced as he was thrown roughly into a room. He landed on his stomach. His hand was bleeding as he had tried to stop his fall; He sat up, and looked around.
The room looked exactly like the cell he had been in at Riddle Manor. He shivered. He didn't like this; He didn't like this at all.
He turned to his friends Ginny and Hermione had their arms around eachother, both were shaking. Ron was staring – no – glaring at Harry. He winced at the anger behind Ron's stare. Harry had to look away.
"It's all your fault." He said quietly. Harry stiffened and looked back at Ron in unhidden surprise. Ron was staring at the floor; he clutched his left arm to his chest protectively. He must have broken it. Though, Harry didn't know how. Ginny and Hermione had let go of one another and were also staring at Ron in shock.
"RON! What are you-" Started Hermione, but Harry cut across her. "How is it my fault?" Harry whispered. Ron now looked up; tears were flowing down his face. "You should never have joined him!" Ron nearly shouted, he got shakingly to his feet and looked down at Harry.
"You joined him too! So don't give me that! I joined him first… I know! I know I made a mistake!" Ron snorted in disbelieve.
"A mistake? A MISTAKE? Damn right you made a mistake! A huge one! It's all your fault this happened!" He screamed. Harry was now on his feet; his hands were balled into fists as he snarled at Ron.
"Do you want an apology, Ronald? Is that what you want?"
"An apology? No, I want out of this mess! A mess you created!"
"Too bad, Ron. You can't get out now, you should never have joined. If you can't take the heat, keep away from the flame!" Harry screamed. Ron gave a yell and Harry found himself lying on the ground, the side of his face was stinging. He sat up; a hand touched his cheek tenderly. Had Ron just hit him?
Harry looked up at Ron, His face was red and he looked beyond angry. He stared down at Harry. "I hate you…" He whispered.
Harry felt horrible, he felt as if someone had stabbed him through his heart, he felt tears coming but he held them back. Ginny and Hermione were staring up at Ron with their mouths open.
"Ron…" Said Hermione. But he turned away and walked away from the trio. He went and sat in a corner, alone. Harry began to feel light headed. He shut his eyes, collapsing on the ground.
When Harry awoke again, his head was lying in someone's lap and a small hand was patting his head. He looked up groggily. Ginny stared back at him, she smiled at him softly.
"Ginny?" She gave a sigh and kept patting him. Harry looked around and saw Hermione and Ron in the far corner. Hermione was crying and Ron was sleeping. Hermione wouldn't meet his eye. Harry sat up and turned to face Ginny. She answered his unasked question.
"Hermione has decided to stick with Ron." Harry nodded. He had a feeling something like that would happen.
Ginny scooted over a bit and let him sit beside her. He wrapped an arm around his shoulder and buried his face into her hair. "I'm sorry." He said. Ginny took his hand in hers. "It's alright; it's not your fault! No matter what Ron says. Harry…" He lifted his head to look at her. "You got to understand, Ron's under a lot of pressure, He's scared. He didn't mean any of it." Harry sighed and looked over to the sleeping red head. "Yes, He did, Ginny. And he's right." Ginny gasped.
"What? No! Harry, He's not!" She shook her head and she took both of his hand and held them, she began crying and kissed his knuckles. "It's not your fault! We all joined V-Voldemort! It's as much our fault as it is yours! We made this mess; we got us here, no one else!" She said. "We all make mistakes, Harry! It's what makes us human! Ron's made mistakes too! It is not-your-fault!" He stared at her, blinking rapidly. Then he put his arms around her and hugged her,
"I love you." He said, kissing her head. Ginny began to cry harder, He could barely hear her when she spoke. "I-I lo-love you t-t-too…"
"Trial 55540! Harry James Potter, Ginerva Molly Weasley, Hermione Jane Granger, and Ronald Billius Weasley! Suspected of being Death Eaters!" Harry, along with Hermione, Ginny and Ron, were pushed into a room. The light was dim and Harry could barely see anything but the chairs that he had to sit in.
They were straight backed, stone chairs. Harry was the first to get thrust into a chair. Then he heard a clinking noise and felt a pressure on his wrist. He looked down; his hands had been chained to the chair. He looked to his side and saw the same had happened to Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
"Do to evidence and a fair amount of witnesses, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are guilty!" A hush went over all the people in the courtroom. Harry groaned. They were so screwed.
