The Sisterhood
~Final Justice~
The next morning found Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking behind Ginny and her 'entourage'. The members of the Sisterhood had insisted on seeing her to the Great Hall for breakfast. She had almost refused breakfast at all, but Rei threatened to carry her down, and now here they were. They were all wearing different variations of the same dress. They were sleeveless white silk with different colored embroidery (depending on who it was) along the hem. When they entered the Great Hall, silence ensued. They all took seats at the Gryffindor table and the only people brave enough to sit anywhere near them were Fred and George, and they were noticeably subdued.
"If I may have your attention please," Professor Dumbledore called from the High Table, "I will explain the events of yesterday evening (although I am sure most of you have formulated your own explanations). First and foremost, it is my great honor to announce that the Sisterhood of the Cosmos has taken up residence at Hogwarts for a time, and that our own Virginia Weasley of Gryffindor has joined their ranks. There power, as you may know, is legendary and they are also considered the rulers of their respective planets. I expect you to treat them accordingly. Now then, to the battle yesterday. Lord Voldemort (gasps throughout the room) sent his Death Eaters to challenge the Sisterhood. As you have seen, the ladies were more than a match for them. All of the Death Eaters have been identified, two of which being Lucius Malfoy and Peter Pettigrew who was believed to be dead. His 'alleged' murderer, Sirius Black, has been pardoned by the Minister of Magic and will also be staying at Hogwarts. Pettigrew would normally be off to Azbakan, but he has to stand trial for crimes against the Sisterhood. The trial will be held this afternoon, and all of you will be expected to attend as representatives of Hogwarts. Therefore, all classes have been canceled for the day. After breakfast you will return to your house where prefects will distribute dress robes in the color of your house. You are expected to look and act your best. If you do not, I will be carrying out the unpleasant task of punishing you most severely. Setsuna, do you have anything to add?"
Setsuna stood at this point, and all eyes were directed towards her.
"The trials carried out by the Sisterhood are most solemn. You must remember that Mr. Pettigrew will most likely be sentenced to death or worse. ANY inappropriate or juvenile behavior will NOT be tolerated. You will be escorted from the room and will have to face our most extreme displeasure."
The shocked students looked on as Setsuna calmly sat down.
"Yes. Well, all of you return to your houses. You are not to leave until you are escorted to the trial at one." Professor McGonagal spoke loudly.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione, we'll need you to stand as witness. You don't have to say anything, just agree when we ask you if he has in fact done what he has been charged with. You'll need to stay as you have a special part in the trial."
The teachers set about removing this and that enchantment, making the Great Hall look very dark and menacing. The windows were covered, and black candelabras were set about the hall. The tables were removed and replaced with bleacher-looking seats on either side of the hall. A black carpet was ran from the door to the High Table, and several candelabras were placed on either side of it. The High Table was removed and the Sisters, Harry, Ron, and Hermione we're called to where it used to stand. A platform was transfigured from a wooden block and covered with a black velvet cloth. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were positioned there.
"You will follow us in during the procession and you will stand here. You are not to speak until asked to provide witness that Peter is guilty. You will then give any short comments you have. Setsuna says I should remind you that this is a very solemn occasion and you have to play the part. You will witness last, Harry." Rei told them as Michiru handed them each a long black robe.
"Oh, Ron. That's Hermione's, it's satin and fitted more like a dress." Michiru told him.
Ron and Hermione quickly switched garments. Harry looked to the empty space beside him.
"Who's going to stand there?" He asked.
"Sirius. He's getting himself cleaned up. He'll be here later." Rei answered him before turning to Setsuna who was speaking.
"Alright, line up my sisters. Hotaru, you're on the far right. Michiru, you're next. Haruka, you're beside Michi, of course. I'll go next, and Ginny you're beside me in the middle since you're Lily's predecessor. You'll conduct most of the trial. I expect you know what to do?" Ginny nodded. "Good. Now then, Serenity sits on the other side of Ginny, followed by Rei, Ami, and then Mina." They all lined up according to Setsuna's directions, backs facing the door. Just as Harry was thinking about how funny it looked, Hotaru placed her hands together and a dark violet energy burst out of them. It formed itself into a beam and began to compile a crystal shape in front of her. When she had finished, a jagged amethyst throne stood before her with the symbol of Saturn engraved in the top. Michiru went next, and her energy took the form of water leaving an aquamarine throne for her with her symbol carved in the top. Haruka followed her lover's example and formed a sapphire throne for herself. Setsuna went next, using her staff to make a onyx throne materialize. Ginny placed her hands together and lightening bolted out of them, forming an emerald throne with the Jupiter symbol on it. Serenity concentrated, and as her Moon symbol glowed, a pure white crystal throne appeared for her. Rei used great blast of fire to fashion her ruby seat. Ami formed a throne made of ice with her powers. Finally, Mina used two fingers, forcing energy out of herself, and created a bright yellow throne for her to occupy. Just as Harry was beginning to get over the spectacle, the doors of the Great Hall opened. Standing there was Bill, Charlie, Percy, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Sirius. As Ginny and Ron greeted their family Sirius found his way to Harry. His hair had been cut, he had shaved, and all in all looked like an older, thinner version of the man in Lily and James's wedding photo.
"Holding up there, Harry? I know it's a little strange at first, but you get used to it."
"Yeah." Harry grinned up at his godfather. They would finally be able to live together. He was deliriously happy, and was fighting to get a hold on himself. He almost missed it when Setsuna announced that they all had to go and get ready. He followed Sirius up to Gryffindor tower and into the boys' dorms.
It was Mrs. Weasley who came to get them when it was time for them to go. The students had already left their houses and were being marched into the Great Hall under the supervision of the teachers. All of the men in the dorm room had dressed in black; Sirius, Ron, and Harry looking better than the rest because their robes had been provided. Mrs. Weasley had dressed herself in a dress of maroon and had put her hair up in a bun. She herded them down to the common room where the Sisters were waiting. They were all dressed so magnificently! The first person Harry saw, Rei, was dressed in a snug red dress that pooled to the floor and had a slit that went a few inches above her knee. The dress was low cut with spaghetti straps and Rei used this to her advantage by wearing a low necklace with a ruby that had been fashioned in the shape of a flame. She held by her side a staff made of black iron that had an orb of fire floating above the top that had been molded in the shape of a hand pointing upward. She had left her hair down and she had a tiara of silver set with a ruby. Ami was the next that Harry noticed. She was wearing a strapless blue dress that was long and not quite as snug as Rei's. There was fabric that came out from behind it and was attached somehow to her fingers and billowed behind her when she moved. It looked to be made of ice crystals. She held a staff of ice at her side that was ornately decorated and had a delicate snowflake at the top. She was wearing a silver tiara was well, only it was set with a sapphire. Next was Mina. She had dressed in a long, billowing orange dress with very short sleeves. She wore a locket made of gold with a charm in the shape of a heart. She had left her usual red bow and opted for a tiara of silver, like the others, with a topaz stone. (AN: Is topaz the gold looking stone?) She held a staff of some sort at her side. It was colored red and had an open shell on the top. (AN: Notice the reference to the goddess Venus there.) Michiru and Haruka then stepped forward to greet the company of males. Michiru wore a form fitting aquamarine dress with spaghetti straps. It had no slits, though. Her wavy hair was left down and topped with a silver tiara that had an aquamarine jewel in it. She held a staff at her side made of silver that had an orb that showed the swirling waters of the sea. Haruka did not look at all happy about being in a dress. Her dress was a very simple midnight blue with spaghetti straps. It had no frills or decorations to speak of, and she held a sliver staff at her side that had been topped with the symbol of Uranus. She didn't wear a tiara like the others. She had told Michiru earlier that the symbol on her forehead was enough to identify her as a princess. Serenity was the next to come into view. She wore a frilly, full, white dress with puffs for sleeves and an empire waist. She held a pink staff at her side with a moon on the top and, like Haruka, had decided to go tiara-less. She instead wore a necklace that had a crescent moon on it. Hotaru followed behind Setsuna as she came to talk to Sirius. Setsuna wore her customary black, her hair completely down, with an onyx tiara that was set with a garnet. Her dress was exactly like Michiru's, except the color, of course. She held the normal Time Staff beside her. Little Hotaru wore a dress similar to Setsuna's, except that it dragged the floor. She wore black gloves, and the dress was violet. Her dark hair contrasted strongly with the glittering silver tiara with the amethyst stone in it. She had brought her deadly Glaive along with her. Harry's eyes searched for Ginny and he took a sharp breath when his gaze finally rested on her. She was wearing a emerald satin dress that showed off her every curve. It pooled to the floor around her feet and had long sleeves that belled at the bottom and also dropped to the floor. Her firey hair had been left down and shone brightly against the dark Common Room. She had a silver tiara like the others, and held the staff that she had been given to her at her side. The lightening that spun around the silver staff flashed every once in a while, giving Ginny a deadly look. She looked like a goddess. Harry didn't even notice when Sirius stepped beside him.
"I believe you are drooling, Harry."
Harry looked up with his eyes wide.
"Not to worry. James drooled the first time he saw Lily in her princess form, too. Sets says they're ready for us." Harry nodded and followed the great company as they moved.
When they got to the Great Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, along with their sons besides Ron, entered quickly to find a place among the onlookers. Hotaru disappeared, supposedly to bring Wormtail back from where ever she had taken him. Mina stationed herself at the head of the line and Ginny settled herself at the end. They began to file in and Harry watched from the projection that had been set up for the Daily Prophet reporters in the entrance hall. They walked slowly in along the black carpet, their faces lit eerily by the candles in the room. The students robed in their house colors watched as Mina, Ami, Rei, Serenity, Setsuna, Michiru, and Haruka all stood where their respective seats were. Ginny waited a moment and then began her walk alone. No sound came as she slowly walked down the path and then found her seat in the center of her sisters. They all sat down at once, holding their staffs at their sides. Sirius nudged Ron, and he entered the room. He walked just a bit quicker than the Sisterhood had, as he was nervous. The rest of the witnesses followed him, and found seats for themselves set up were they had been positioned earlier. They had sat there for only a moment before Ginny rose and spoke in a loud, clear, echoing voice.
"You are here to witness the trial of Peter Pettigrew. Lady Hotaru, bring in the accused."
The doors of the hall opened and Wormtail stumbled in, his hands bound. Hotaru walked behind him, the blade of her glaive at his back. When they got to the front of the room, Hotaru muttered a spell to bind his feet and went to join her Sisters on the platform. Peter was dressed in a very plan, uncomfortable brown robe.
"Peter Pettigrew," Ginny spoke again, "you are charged with the death of our sister the former Lady Lillian of Jupiter and the Sisterhood of the Cosmos. She is my predecessor and so I will officiate over the trial. If you are found guilty, you will answer for these crimes as ~I~ see fit. Do you understand?"
He started to speak, but Hotaru shot him a deadly look and he simply nodded. Setsuna clapped her hands and a large leather bound book appeared in her hands.
"According to the Records of Time, you were friends with James Potter and a member of the Marauders. You became gained an animal transformation in the form of a rat while you were here at Hogwarts. When you got older, it was known that Voldemort was out to destroy Lily and James, who had married. They decided to make Sirius their secret keeper, but he insisted that they use you instead because you would not be suspected. They did not know that you had already become a Death Eater. You betrayed the Potters to Voldemort and he killed Lily and James. You then framed Sirius Black and killed many muggles and wizards. Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban because he was believed to have committed the massacre and you lived as Ronald Weasley's pet rat, waiting for your chance to kill Harry Potter, Lily and James's son, who was the downfall of your master. When cornered two years ago, you managed to escape by transforming and once again left Sirius Black as a wanted man. Now you stand before us."
"Do you deny these records?"
Peter nodded fervently.
"You…you…can't believe that I…I would never…James and Lily were…"
"SILENCE!!!" Ginny cried out. "Witnesses, you are now called to give you testimony. Hermione Granger?"
"He most certainly did all of those things. I was there the night he escaped the second time. He is guilty." She said, coldly.
"Ronald Weasley."
"He lived as my pet rat. I was there the night Sirius and Professor Lupin caught him. He is guilty." Ron said, with hatred in his voice.
"Sirius Black."
"Peter was always weak. That's why he turned to James; why he turned to Voldemort. He was Lily and James's secret keeper. He framed me. I didn't kill those people. He is guilty." Sirius said, with rage.
"Harry Potter." The entire room looked to Harry as he focused hard green eyes on the sniveling figure that stood before them.
"I was there that night and I saw him transform. That rat betrayed my parents and framed my godfather. I was left with a family that didn't want me because of him. That piece of filth is the reason I have no parents." Harry spat, voice full of hatred.
"I have heard the witnesses and I decide that Peter Pettigrew is guilty of all things of which he is accused." At this, Peter stared to wail and Hotaru had her blade at his throat faster than a Firebolt.
"The reason you betrayed the Potters is because you knew that you wouldn't have to answer to them for it. Now you will. I sentence you to eternity feeling the disappointment and hatred of Lily and James Potter. Lady Hotaru, do your duty."
Hotaru grabbed Peter by the back of his collar and dragged him screaming from the Great Hall. The heavy doors shut loudly in the silent hall. Ginny stood and spoke.
"I believe that justice has been done here today. Let it be known that crimes against the Sisterhood and their loved ones will not be tolerated. Azkaban is NOTHING compared to the punishment just given to that wretched man."
As the students filed out, Harry rushed to Ginny who collapsed in his arms.
"She tired herself out. Come on, back to her room." Mrs. Weasley said. Harry carried her all they way to Gryffindor Tower, removed her tiara himself, and kissed her on the forehead before tucking her in. Her brothers witnessed all of this and were glared into submission by Rei and Haruka. Ron planned to ask Harry about all of this over dinner as they left Ginny to her rest. In a dark void, a miserable traitor heard a voice that he had not heard in years.
"Peter? How could you?"
