Hey everyone. Here is the next chapter. Took a little longer than i had expected. I sent this to my beta readers but they haven't gotten back. So there is some mistakes forgive me. I hope you enjoy it. Please, Please, Please review!!
Braton looked around himself. The dementors had gone and in front of him stood Mr. Weasley. The father of the girl he saved. Braton stood up and dusted himself off. The guard opened his cell and Ron motioned for Braton to follow him.
"Where are we going?" Braton asked after a few minutes.
" I thought it would be obvious…. Sorry… We are going to the ministry." Ron said.
"Why? " Braton said.
"Well my boy you might have been sent to Azkaban, but you haven't been sent their permanently. You still get a trial." Ron said.
Braton shook his head in acknowledgement as he followed Mr. Weasley. He didn't know that there would be a trail. He had thought that he was going to be in Azkaban for the rest of his life. He believed that he belonged there. He was a murderer.
"Alright. I am sure you know how to fly a broom?" Ron asked.
"Yes sir." Braton said as he mounted his broom.
The two men took off and headed for London. Where they would immediately go to the ministry. Where Braton assumed he would be questioned. He really didn't want to talk about anything that happened yesterday, but he knew he had to.
"Alright here we are." Ron said while shrinking the brooms and putting them in his pocket.
The two walked through the busy crowed and entered the elevator. Which shot them every which way. Braton almost felt sick to his stomach when the elevator stop .
"This is our stop. You will come with me to my office. We have to discuss what exactly happened." Ron said walking towards his office.
Braton followed the man into his office. He really didn't feel like talking about this now, but he knew he had to. Ron motioned for him to sit across from him by his desk. Ron sat down and looked at the young man who saved his daughter.
"While we are waiting for Harry to join us I want to extend my hand of gratitude." Ron said while extending his hand for Braton to shake.
"For what Sir?" Braton said confused.
"For saving my daughters life. I know the two of you never have gotten along. A few pranks on each other I've heard about." Ron said eyeing the young boy
"Your welcome sir. I know I did some mean things to her but I couldn't let him.." Braton said but stopped.
" Hello Ron, sorry I am late." Harry said while walking in Ron's office. And casting a silencing charm on the office.
"Now we are alone. Braton you have to tell us everything that went on. You have a trail in a few days and we want to make sure that you get off of all charges against you." Ron said in a professional manner.
"I killed my father.. I should be punished." Braton said with his head down.
"Yes you killed your father, but on what terms.. Now I don't know you, but I knew your father. He wasn't a very nice person and I don't think you would kill him just for the sake of killing someone. If that where true you wouldn't be admitting that you killed him. Plus there would be more deaths surrounding your family." Harry said. He knew that Braton's mother had died but Braton was to young to be involved with that.
"We need to know what happened yesterday." Ron said. He was trying to keep his cool. He knew that Draco had done a terrible thing to his daughter. He saw the bruises and the cuts and the torture he had done to his little girl. To hear it would make it even more real.
"Well it was an accident really that I found out she was there. I know that he would never have thought that I would go down there but I did. When I got down there I saw your daughter. It shocked me because I joked in my head that he probably took her. I never would have thought that he actually did. She looked so beaten up and scared and lost of hope. I couldn't let him do this to her any longer. So i helped her and we came up with a plan to get her out. Something went wrong because when we tried to escape my father had found us. He wasn't going to let us go. He said he was going to kill Bonnie and then me. He wanted me to see her die. When he was about to use the curse on her I threw myself at him. He didn't like that he began punching me and trying to kill me. I remembered the dagger I had in my pocket. I killed him will it. I stabbed him in the heart. He was going to kill me and Bonnie. I had to do something!!." Braton said.
"Calm down Braton. This is defiantly a case of self defense. You being so young you can really get off with almost nothing for this. Now we are going to have question Bonnie. That way we can get her story and if it all matches then we have a case. We might have to give you viritiserium and question you before some of the judges. " Harry said.
"Yes sir." Braton said.
"Now about you being in Azkaban." Ron said.
"I know I probably have to go back there." Braton said but was cut off.
"Not necessarily. I talked to the judge and me being an auror and all I have ask permission to keep you at my home until the trial is over." Ron said.
Braton's eye lite up like it was the best day in his entire life. Azkaban wasn't as bad for him as it was for some people ,but it still was pretty bad.
"Thank you sir." Braton said.

"Bonnie baby it's time to get up." Hermione said shaking her daughter's skinny frame.
Bonnie had slept until three in the afternoon. Hermione decided to wake her daughter up so she could get something to eat. They also had to go down to the ministry. They wanted to question Bonnie and take pictures of all her wounds. Hermione knew this was going to be very tuff for her daughter. She wished it could really wait , but Braton's trial would be soon. They had to get Bonnie questioned before allowing Braton and Bonnie to see each other again. The ministry didn't want Braton telling Bonnie what to say to them.
"Mom I wish I didn't have to go." Bonnie said with a tear stained face.
"I know sweetheart but the sooner we get through this the sooner you can just relax and get your life back." Hermione said while serving Bonnie what seemed to be a feast for two.
Hermione watched as her daughter ate and ate. Hermione looked at how her daughter's body was practically skin and bones. Her skin was paler than a Weasley's skin ever would be. After the ministry they were to go to St. Mungos.
Bonnie finished getting ready and quickly took a Luke warm shower. This was the first shower she had in a long time and the water seemed to be black as it went down the drain. Bonnie's entire body ached. She really wished they could go to St. Mungos. to get her treated before the ministry.
Bonnie took a while to get dressed. Her sores had made her entire body stiff. She eventually had to ask her mother for some help. Hermione tried not to cry when she helped Bonnie's pants on. The word Mudblood carved into her daughters leg was enough for her to want to kill Malfoy all over again.
The two left for the ministry. Bonnie didn't really talk much. The entire time Hermione kept an eye on her daughter. Making sure she wasn't going to faint or some other lunatic steal her away from them. She never wanted that to happen again.
They reached the ministry and used the elevator to go to Ron's office. Ron wanted to hug his daughter but stopped him self midway and just kissed her on the forehead. He almost forgot about her sores.
"Alright Bonnie. This is whats going to happen. We have a mediwitch (another thing I can't remember correct me if I am wrong) and she will be doing the photo graphs. We need you to show ever single wound that well you know hurt you with. This will help Braton's trial. Braton has already been photographed. It seemed as though the young boy has been tortured for years. " Ron told Bonnie. The scares on Braton where enough to scare an old man. How someone could hurt their own child was beyond Ron.
"Okay daddy." Bonnie said following her father to another room. Where she would be photographed.
"Do you want me to go in with you?" Hermione asked.
"Please." Bonnie looked at her mother not wanting to be alone with a stranger quite yet.
Hermione sat in the corner while the mediwitch helped Bonnie with her clothes off. They took picture after picture. Closeups of everything and anything that was scabbed bleeding anything that monster did to Hermione's daughter. After they finished Hermione helped Bonnie get dressed again. Hermione had tears rolling on her face. Her daughter was tortured so harshly. She will never be the same again after this.
The rest of the day consisted of Bonnie being questioned by some random aurors. She told them everything and anything that they wanted to know. For Bonnie it seemed like hours but it was only thirty minutes. After the interrogation Hermione and Bonnie said goodbye to Ron and made their way to saint mugos. Where Bonnie's injuries where treated. Hermione was glad that they weren't life endangering, but wish they never happened.
"Mrs. Weasley." One mediwitch came out to talk to Hermione.
"Yes?" Hermione asked once they were alone in the mediwitches office.
"Your daughter has had some very sever wounds. We did what we could and most of her wounds are gone. The one on her leg suffered some pretty bad infection. The scaring for that we couldn't get ride of. Now it's not as prominent as before but it's still barley their. So we have a scar reducing potion that should eventually take it away. She'll need to rub it on everyday before bedtime. Within a couple months the scar should be gone. The scars on her back.. However won't vanish with this potion. They will get lighter though. She is free to go home. What she needs now is rest and some food. I have also enclosed a nutrition potion. That will help her get healthy again. You are free to leave just sign right here." The mediwitch handed a release form to Hermione.
Hermione and Bonnie made their way back home. When Bonnie walked in the door she saw someone that she didn't expect, Braton.
Well how was that everyone? Let me know won't you.. Yeah by reviewing. Well do it!!
