Rough did not even begin to describe the days before the trial, Harry still barely spoke, and he was not eating or sleeping on his own. They had forced nutrient potions and sleeping potions on him, not wanting to, but he was so shaken. The school had named Minerva to replace Albus, and word had come of support for Harry from the school, and others like Molly and Arthur. The couple wanted to be there for Harry, it was only the younger two kids who took pay, but Harry was not comfortable. The twins, Malfoys, his dads and Andre's family were all he could handle right now, and no one would force the issue with him.

The day of the trial came, three days after the kill, as quick as possible. Murder and that kind of trial usually took more time, but Albus was a risk, they were not certain he did not have allies, and an escape plan if captured. The murder of Andre in front of no fewer than ten witnesses, and the bottled memories from Lucius and Harry's dad, made it a formality. The papers for once were all on one side, though all but the Quibbler had been rushing for an interview.

Severus looked at his son as they were in Moody's office."Harry you don't need to be there. The evidence will be given and he will be kissed."

Narcissa nodded."Molly and I will stay up here with you Harry. You don't need to see."

Harry was still not talking, and they doubted he reliving it would help him, but Harry would not be left behind. He owed it to the man he loved to be there, and Harry just needed them to be with him, and it was Remus who knew it first, and the twins. Harry felt like he had to be there, and not being would be worse for him, and he needed them not to give him an out, but be there for was led by his dads, but in the court room he had the Malfoys and Weasleys, but also his old team mates, Andre's family and Michel whose dad brought him the day before. Their school classes were suspended for now, until the funeral.

Harry showed no reaction as the proof was shown, not even his own memories of when Andre was killed, but to clutch harder to his dads. Harry had always been so strong but they would have given anything for him to cry, or yell.

Albus was allowed to make a final statement."I saved you all, so a few innocents had to be lost along the way. You should be thanking me."

Amelia spoke for the room was soon in an uproar."We are ready to vote."

No shock to anyone in the room, after all the proof, and his words, the man was found to be guilty. There was not one vote in his favour, the killing of an innocent seventeen year old, had seen to that. He may have saw prison for the rest, he had done so much good, but nothing justified his actions since the war, nothing.

Amelia spoke. "Albus Dumbledore you are found guilty of all crimes. You are hereby sentenced to the dementor's kiss."

Albus looked around as he was led off. "You can't do this to me, you owe me. I lead you in the war."

He did not find a friendly face, his staff and the Order there but to see justice done for once, not for him. The only one for him was his brother, but even he had known his brother would receive what he deserved, the kiss. His brother had stood by him when he went to prison, and he was here for his brother's last moments. Made sure the man had no wand, the two brothers were allowed a few moments alone, before the end.

Renee came to Harry. "My husband and son will see it done. I think it is time we take you home."

Harry was not shocked the men would attend. His only response all day came. "Home."

Harry and his dads would be in France for the funeral, but not sure after, not on where to live. They had all been happy in France, but returning to the school would be painful for Harry, more so then Hogwarts, which was now safe at least. Harry would not return to classes for a time, and Draco with him, so there was time. Filius was considering retiring and Harry could apprentice here, but it would be some time before Harry could even think like that.

An hour later Claude came back to the manor."It is over, the man died from the kiss. It is over."

Remus held to Severus as they watched their son."Our son is safe, but at such a cost."

They had plans, they had considered being married in the winter, it Albus was taken care of. They pictured Harry apprenticing, married to the man he loved, and making them grandfathers they hoped. Their hope for their own wedding and trying for kids would be on hold, Harry needed them so much now.

The people who came for the trial had come to Francefor the funeral, those who loved Harry, wanted to honour the boy who died for him. The memorial was held at school, but Andre was buried at homeland Harry went there for a few days. They planned to return to the UK for now, Harry if possible, was worse in France. Severus never thought he'd miss the brash lion who annoyed him for six years before they found out, but he did. Harry would eat a bit, but he was still not talking, and his dad could tell, he was barely sleeping. He had shed his only tears on the day he saw the tombstone, it was so final.

They had hoped back in the UK, surrounded by people who loved him, he would be more at peace, but saw little change in him. A week after the funeral, the twins and Draco went to fetch him for dinner, and found his room empty. They did not panic at first, until they checked with the others, and no one had seen him.

Severus filled with dread. "We need to find him. I knew he should not have been left alone."

Lucius tried to calm him."You know Harry could not take us hovering all of the time."

He knew his brother was right, Harry had made his feelings known on it, without words. Harry was in pain, and he would need them, but they also knew why he pulled away from them, he blamed himself for all of this. Harry would not allow anyone else to die for him, Andre had been the last.

Draco spoke. "He could not have left the manor or the wards would have told us. There are enough of us, we should find him soon."

George tried to cut the tension."It has been too long since I had a good game of hot and cold."

No one laughed, no one able to find a smile, all too worried about Harry. They tried to assure themselves Harry was okay, but they knew they needed to find him, or none of them would rest until they found him. Other then the two in school, all the red heads were there, and it was one of them who found Harry.

He dropped down to his knees as he came to his side. "Merlin, no Harry."
