Harry Potter has always known
Chapter 34
"Yes I am married to Severus Snape and we are very much in love. I have three beautiful children with him, anyone that messes with him - messes with me" said Harry calmly, glaring at Ronald Weasley when he said that bit in particular about messing with his husband.
"Can we get an interview Mr. Potter?!" asked one reporter curiously. This one particular didn't have anger or eagerness just plain curiosity written all over her face.
"I shall grant your wish, as long as you take an oath that everything I say isn't made up into a farce of an interview" said Harry, "But right now I'm here for Dumbledore's trial so I shall speak with you afterwards."
"Of course Mr. Potter is shall provide you with an oath" bowed Jasmine Jenson the reporter.
"Good" said Harry curtly walking away.
"Mr. Potter can we get a picture of you and your husband with your children?" asked another reporter.
"Just the one" said Harry, sighing softly knowing he wouldn't be left alone until he gave them what they wanted. Draco passed Alexis along to Harry; Harry smiled and held onto both his children. Severus moved in beside him and they allowed their picture to be taken. Severus wasn't smiling but he wasn't sneering either so it was a very good thing.
Just then Dumbledore was dragged in by Auror's with children in the room the Auror's had run out and made sure Dementors didn't come any further in.
"You had them then" said Dumbledore with a look of disgust on his face.
Everyone gasped in horror, never in their years had they seen Dumbledore like that. They thought that there had to be something wrong with Dumbledore, some sort of imperious curse.
"He is ill, I think he should be in St. Mungo's!" someone shouted from the Wizengamont.
"He is not ill!" snarled Severus.
Blinking in shock, they watched as the children cried at the voice that came from their father.
Soothing them he glared at Dumbledore but whispered - the voice carried all around the court room.
"He is a manipulative evil SOB! And if you don't believe me, use Veritaserum!" said Severus. "In fact I demand Veritaserum be used!"
"And I second his motion I want the truth today!" said Harry nodding his head curtly.
"And I also! I want an explanation he wanted Harry dead!" said Madam Bones. Her curiosity was killing her, plus her niece demanded it. She had believed Harry, and never went against him.
Harry blinked, before nodding his head curtly.
"Then bring in the Veritaserum" shouted Madam Bones.
One of the jurors used a Patronus spells and someone had an assistant running down with the stuff within minutes.
"It shall be tested first!" said Madam Bones.
Once making sure that it worked, with a very embarrassing question which was answered. They finally got the trial on the go, lots of people defended Dumbledore including Mad Eye Moody.
"Bring the accused forward!" yelled Fudge.
He was brutally magically restrained, as if the magic could sense that he really was guilty. He then was magically moved forward, into the middle, now under everyone's glare and he was aware of it too.
"What is your name?" Madam Bones.
"Albus Brian Percival Wulfic Dumbledore" he responded emotionless.
"Why did you try and kill Harry Potter?"
"Because he was a threat to my power" said Dumbledore.
"Your power?" asked a disbelieving Madam Bones.
"I had worked hard to get my place in the Ministry Fudge couldn't do anything without my help! You all need my help! You wont have me arrested!" said Dumbledore under the truth serum he obviously believed what he was saying.
"You wanted Harry Potter dead? Just because you wanted it?" she asked still unbelieving it. She was repeating herself, as if she couldn't or wouldn't believe it.
"Yes and his brats which I tried my best to keep from being born" said Dumbledore.
"You tried to kill three innocent children?" she asked wide eyed.
"Yes" said Dumbledore.
"You know that trying to kill children is punishable by the Dementors' kiss?"
"I would never be given the Dementor's kiss I am too important in this world, everyone needs me" said Dumbledore.
"This trial is ended! He will be given the Dementor's kiss what's been revealed already is enough!" said Fudge.
"Madam Bones?" asked Harry whispering.
"Yes?" she asked curiously coming over and whispering so no one could hear.
"Ask if he's been doing anything illegal with Fudge, he's too eager to get him killed" asked Harry.
"True" admitted Madam Bones "But I want him dealt with as soon as possible also".
"I know just ask" said Harry sitting back.
Severus smirked his husband was brilliant, he had been thinking the same thing but unsure if his advice would be gladly received.
"Have you done anything illegal with Minister Fudge?" asked Madam Bones.
"I have bribed him, and know he is being bribed by Lucius Malfoy. I also know he has been seeing other people. I have blackmailed him for years over it," said Dumbledore.
Shocked gasps run the entire courtroom, Harry didn't look all that surprised, he had seen the bribing Lucius and Fudge had been dealing with.
"Arrest that man!" snapped Madam Bones.
"I am the Minister of magic! I demand you release me!" snapped Fudge spluttering going red in the face.
"All in favour of Madam Bones taking over Ministry of magic?" asked one of the elder Wizengamont officers.
"What? But that needs to be voted on by the public!" said one shocked member.
"Correction the votes are cast at a certain time of year until the time of year we can have someone becoming the Minister temporary I vote Madam Bones. She seems to be taking control of this situation fantastically" said the man.
"I agree she has my vote!" said Harry nodding his head.
"And mine also" said Severus becoming more confident in his new role of the husband of Harry Potter - Snape.
"Then we are in agreement! Everyone will go with Harry Snape anyway" said one of the Wizengamont members nodding their head.
"Then it's sorted, now the trial will continue," said Jagar Zabini a Wizengamont member.
"Have you any other illegal dealings?" asked Madam Bones.
"Many, I blackmailed the Dursley's into treating Harry Potter like dirt. I have had many black market dealings. Including slaves, they are very handy especially when things don't go my way" said Dumbledore a ghost of a smirk on his face.
"That's it! Enough I want this man dealt with! He has betrayed us all" snapped the runner up head of the Wizengamont. He couldn't believe it, no one could the Albus Dumbledore they had known didn't exist. In his place stood a manipulative old man who was that desperate for power he would kill people.
"I am to go to St. Mungo's I take it?" sneered Dumbledore, the Veritaserum wearing off.
"St. Mungo's is too good for you" said Madam Bones.
"Indeed" said Severus which was heard in the total silence of the court room.
"Then I am free to go?" asked Dumbledore, he truly believed that they were too weak to send him to Azkaban.
"If he goes free, I will leave the wizarding world and my children will not attend Hogwarts!" snapped Harry standing up.
"I will make sure all future Malfoy's do not attend also, we will leave for Drumstrang and never come back" said Draco.
"Do not fear," said Madam Bones calmly. "I wouldn't let him free to rule Hogwarts once again. My Niece who I've brought up and think of a daughter is still attending after all even though it's not for long" said Madam Bones "I suggest Dementors' kiss those who agree raise their hands and say aye".
"Aye!" said one fearless Wizengamont stepping up.
"Aye" said two people standing up.
"Aye!" said the other members standing up, obviously getting strength from those who had stood up to Dumbledore.
"Then majority rules, those who are weak hearted should step out please!" said Madam Bones.
The Dementors kissed their prey in front of Members or the Wizengamont. It was the old way of things and they didn't change much in the wizarding world.
No one moved.
At the last minute Harry made sure his children couldn't hear or see what was going on. Thanks to a few silencing spells, he didn't want his children remembering this memory.
Then Severus had a better idea, he used a sleeping spell on them, so there was defiantly no way for them to remember this. Harry smiled in thanks and Severus smirked half heartedly back.
The Dementors were already in the room and bearing down on their prize.
"NO! YOU NEED ME!" yelled Dumbledore.
"We don't!" sneered Severus watching Dumbledore.
"WITHOUT ME SNAPE YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE KISS FOR YOUR CRIMES!" SCREAMED DUMBLEDORE.
Severus just smirked.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" screamed Dumbledore, as the Dementors lowered their hood.
Dumbledore's scream lasted five minutes as they sucked his soul out through his mouth.
Before it cut off, abruptly, and Dumbledore just sat there a mindless puppet.
"Now he can go to St. Mungo's" said Madam Bones.
"Take the magic, without that Dumbledore won't last long" said Severus.
"Good idea," said Madam Bones, they wanted Dumbledore dead and gone so they could forget him.
They sent for a potion that would suppress his magic completely only the worst of criminals were given it. Dumbledore fell under the category was the worst of criminals.
