Here's the next chapter. Please read and review love Moon x

Quirrel decided to seize the moment as Albus was now gone to the Ministry of Magic and the other staff seemed very busy with something else. He'd not been there when whatever it was had happened to he was delighted to be free to do as he wished. He went to the third floor corridor gasping as the three headed dog was now gone and the floor below it was utterly destroyed. What the fuck had happened here? His master was furious. It was obvious that something had gone wrong somewhere along the line.

"Ah Professor Quirrel how good of you to meet me here! I was going to ask you to come here but it seems given what happened you have heard and come here anyway. I need your help repairing this floor. It would seem amongst other things that Albus had us place tasks or challenges for Voldemort in front of a fake. I have no idea where the real one went. He does swear it was the real one but we all know it's a fake as it holds no power at all. It is much like something expensive a rich muggle might own not a philosophers stone!" Professor McGonagall said to him coming up behind him. She waved her wand hitting him with a cleaning spell as the smell of him was making her feel ill.

"Quite alright Minerva. What happened to the Cereberus here?" he asked casually.

"Oh yes you wouldn't know about that would you. Well suffice it to say Dumbledore tried to force Harry Potter of all people here to get the stone or see if he could. He was trying to get him to kill Voldemort when he came for the stone. Essentially the Cereberus now called Spike changed it's allegiances to Harry Potter as Hagrid had been unknowingly abusing him. The Cereberus is now in a secluded and deeply warded part of the forbidden forest where Harry can visit him daily. The place he is in is warded but he can leave to kill and eat any and all dark creatures there. Thank goodness as some sick bastard has been killing the unicorns and drinking their blood. He or she will always live a cursed life now!" she responded as he raised his wand to help her in cleaning the room up. His master was now deep in thought about how to go on with his plans. I mean Harry Potter at the age of just eleven now essentially owned a hell hound and he was terrified of it. He actually deeply shuddered at the thought. Severus and Filius joined them to repair that floor as it needed much work. Poor Mr Potter had panicked so much his magic had flared out to protect him and destroyed it.

At the ministry the Minister for magic was outraged. "Amelia! I forbid you from having this trial. He defeated Grindelwald and doesn't deserve to be on trial. How will it look if we put him of all people on trial today? How will I look? Everyone will hate me for having the publicly named leader of the light on trial. Can't we just slap a magical restraining order on him and leave it at that?" he implored as she looked furious and summoned him a pensive into which she placed the memories pertaining to his interview and arrest which were allowed to take place at a time and place of the aurors choosing. Either in the Ministry or wherever they had been arrested. He viewed the memories and emerged a little while later pale as a sheet.

"He did this to Harry Potter the boy who lived and our saviour. I didn't know that. This trial is to be made as public as it can after the fact. I want people to know he's going on trial but not what it's for. I want them to be stunned when they eventually find out what it is for. That…that bastard! How can someone so light do this?" he asked looking so very lost. He looked heartbroken. Albus Dumbledore had done some of the best things ever for their world and that he had this side to him was horrendous indeed.

"Minister I think it would be best if you asked the questions in the trial as you are an impartial person who wasn't there in the time of the arrest. We should use truth serum and see what he has to say!" she said as he agreed.

"Yes if you remove yourself for being a conflict of interest in this case it really would be best. No one can accuse me of being biased as I am not although having seen all he had to say I am very much hoping people will choose something sensible to do to him!" he responded as they both walked into the Wizengamot where everyone was seated and waiting for them. Amelia approached the middle podium as they all expected her to.

"Good afternoon everyone. Today we conduct this trial of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore however as I would be a conflict of interest in this case I will recuse myself and appoint minister Fudge in my place to ask the questions using veritas serum for me. Alternatively if people would rather a faster trial process we can all just view my memories of the questions he was asked when we arrested him at Hogwarts!" she announced as she stepped away from the podium and sat down on Minister Fudges chair.

"Get off the ministers' chair you swine! I did not give you permission to use it!" Dolores Umbridge snapped.

"I gave her the permission Dolores. This is a serious case and so there will be silence from all of you unless and until I myself give you permission to do so. Please raise your wands now and light them if you wish me to question Albus Dumbledore!" he said as they all did so.

"Before we bring him here and administer the veritas serum does anyone have any questions?" he asked as Elphias Doge saw this as his moment to protest and took it.

"Yes I do! Why is the leader of the light even going on trial? This is an outrage!" he snapped as Fudge bristled from his comments.

"Earlier today whilst at the school in which he is headmaster, Albus Dumbledore attempted to seriously harm or kill Mr Harry Terrence Potter our own boy who lived Mr Doge. This is why he is being placed on trial so we can figure out what he was doing and why. I can understand how you feel as I myself was shocked and annoyed to be hearing he was even going on trial but when I heard what he'd done I couldn't let it slide. I am a good and fair man and so we all owe it to Mr Potter to investigate this fully" he answered as everyone around him mumbled amongst themselves as he banged his gavel down on the sound block calling for order.

"Order! Order! I say Order! Bring up the prisoner!" he ordered as they left to fetch Albus Dumbledore. This would be an intense trial for sure.
