Hermione walked with Ron and Dumbledore to the port key a few days later. She held his hand tightly in hers, still feeling
the occasional shake running through him. It had begun to rain soon after they walked through the door of Hogwarts. Ron shot
Hermione a nervous smile. She smiled back and tightened her hand on his. They were both happy that the trial would only be a
few days longer. Only a few more days and it would all be over.
"I am sorry to say that we are going to have to leave you here, Miss Granger" Dumbledore smiled when they came to the spot
from which they would port key from. One of Hagrid's pumpkins lay on the ground in front of them.
"Ok, Good luck Ron, I will be thinking of you" Hermione whispered as she hugged Ron, holding him close to her.
"This will all be over soon" he replied and she pulled away, Ron moved over to the pumpkin which Dumbledore was now holding.
"We will send you an owl if anything happens" Dumbledore promised her, and then, they were gone.

Wizard London was the complete opposite of muggle London. The shops were all decorated with wands and broomsticks. The newest
line of robes and wizarding hats were in one window and the newest racing broom was in another window. Any other day, Ron
would have had his nose syuck to the window of the quidditch supply shop, but today, he had more important things to worry
about.
He knew that in a few hours, maybe as little as 1 or 2, that he would be sitting in the same room as his enemy, Draco Malfoy.
He would have to sit silently and listen to him talk, the voice that made his blood boil. Ron just hoped that Azkaban had
calmed Malfoy down a little. Ron could not forget the last threat that Draco yelled at him as the guards dragged him away...
'I am going to get you Weasley'
Ron walked silently beside Dumbledore, who seemed to have no idea that Ron was so uneasy about the whole situation.
"Here we are, young Weasley" Dumbledore smiled when they reached to large Magic Court building. Ron looked at the large
building and took a deep breath.
"Well..." Ron began. Dumbledore clapped his hand onto Ron's shoulder.
"It will be ok, lets go inside" Dumbledore assured and walked Ron through the door.
*****
The sunlight shone into Draco's eyes as the metal door to his cell opened. He crouched into the corner, weak and defeated.
Since the visit with his father, he had been to angry to eat or sleep. A dementor stood in the doorway and Draco stood, still
sticking to the back wall of his cell. The dementor took a step inside and reached out his long arm. The decaying flesh
grabbed the dirty robes and Draco was thrown out into the hallway. Another dementor took one of Draco's arms while the first
one took the other and they led him away from the cell. His feet dragged and the dementors pulled him towards two large
wooden doors. Lucius Malfoy stood at the door and waited for his son to arive.
"Well Son, lets go face the music" Lucius said harshly and then slipped into the back of the room.
*****
"By the power of the ministry of magic I wish to begin this hearing. Will the dementor please bring forward Draco. L. Malfoy."
Cornelis Fudge began from the podium at the front of the room that Dumbledore and Ron sat in. The wooden doors on one side
of the room opened and the dementors dragged in a very pale, weak and dirty Draco Malfoy.
"It has been requested by many that this boy be given a truth potion in order to keep the trial simple. Master Malfoy, with
the knowledge that we can force you to take to potion, do you wish to take it volentarily?" Fudge asked, Draco was sitting
in a chair in the center of the room. Chains had been placed around his arms and legs in order to keep him still.
"Yes sir" Draco answered softly and a dementor moved forward and tipped the potion down Draco's throat. He gaged and then
swallowed deeply.
"Now, in order to test the potion...please state your full name" Fudge said. Ron almost smirked, what would that prove? He
knew his name without a truth potion. And everybody knew that Draco's middle name was Lucius after his father.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy" Draco said. This time Ron did smirk. That didn't prove anything, it was really just a waste of time.
"Thank you, now, let us begin shall we...Mr Malfoy, tell us what happened the night of the Hogwarts Yule Ball" Fudge asked.
"I kidnapped Hermione Granger" Draco said
"What else happened?" Fudge prompted
"I attempted to kill Ron Weasley" Draco added. A few people gasped.
"Why did you do that Mr Malfoy?" Fudge asked
"Over the course of the last school year, I had fallen in love with Miss Granger" Draco explained to the court. At the back
of the room, Lucius Malfoy groaned loudly. All of this was over his son loving a mudblood.
"And why did you try to kill Master Weasley?" Fudge asked
"Hermione liked him more than she liked me" Draco informed them. A few people in the room chuckled.
"As I suspected, Master Malfoy, this is an open shut case. You have admitted to the charges of Kidnap and attemptive murder
so I am ready to set my punishment" Fudge said and then glanced around the room. Some of the more influential members of the
wizarding word nodded at him slightly.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy, I find you guilty of using an unforgivable curse on a fellow student while attending Hogwarts
school of witchcraft and wizardry, I therefore sentence you to a life time in Azkaban prision. Sentence is effective
immediatly...dementors, take him away" Fudge told the room. No one, not even Lucius Malfoy seemed outraged at this ruling.
The chains on Malfoys arms and legs were released, he stood and the dementors lead him out of the room.
"Well, come alone Ron, I am sure there are prople back at the school who are earger to here the events of the day." Dumbledore
smiled and Ron stood, ready to go back. He sighed, finally, he felt safe.
