Innocent-Chapter4

It's now Thursday, Hermione Granger is sitting with Remus Lupin and Albus Dumbledore, waiting for Harry to be brought out.
Aurors dragged Harry into the courtroom. He looked horrible, squinting at the light of the large room, 'After five years of darkness,' Hermione thought. His robes were shreds, much to short. He was now around six feet, skin and bones, with long hair down his back and a beard rivaling Dumbledore's in length. If he hadn't been moving, you would have thought he was dead, his eyes just looked so sad, so devoid of happiness, so dead. Nothing like Hermione remembered.
Next they dragged out Malfoy. 'Jackass, Deatheater,' she thought.
"Court is in session," said the judge, who banged his grovel. "Administer the Verserum to Mr. Malfoy." Malfoy told the court, the same as he had before. Everyone but the small group I mentioned earlier, was in shock, An innocent boy sent to Azkaban! Then they administered the Vereserum to Harry, who told them exactly what he had said those five years earlier.
"This court declares Harry James Potter clear of all charges, and sentences Draco Malfoy to life in Azkaban, and possible Dementor's kiss pending."
Then the minister of magic stood up and said, "Mr. Potter, we will be compensating you for your misfortune, and you are given the privileges of a full wizard." Harry just nodded. 'Now if only Wormtail would be caught,' Hermione thought.
Before Hermione, Hagrid, Remus, and Dumbledore could make there way to Harry, Ron spoke to him, "Harry, I'm sorry, I should have known you'd never do such a thing." "Yes, you should have," Harry spat at him.
With that Harry walked to them. "Professor, did anyone believe my innocence?" "Yes, the three, before you." Harry looked at Remus, Hermione, and Hagrid. Hagrid brought Harry into a hug. "Thank you, Hagrid," Harry said. Then Remus hugged him, "How's Sirius?" Harry whispered. "Ask Hermione, he's at her place, right now," he whispered back. Then Hermione hugged Harry, "Sirius is fine, your stuff is at my house," she said. "Thank you," Harry said. "Harry here is some foo powder, so you can get to Hermione's," Dumbledore said handing Harry a pouch. "Thank you, sir," Harry answered. Then Harry flooed, while Hermione and Remus apparated to Hermione's house.
"Harry your free !"yelled Sirius upon Harry's arrival, moments after Remus and Hermione. Sirius then ran and hugged Harry. "Sirius, I can't breath," Harry coughed.
"Would you like something to eat, Harry?" Hermione asked. "Not at the moment, where's my wand?" "Upstairs, with the rest of your things, this way." They went upstairs to the room at the end of the hall, empty except for a bed, shelf, desk and Harry's things. "So, whatever happened to Hedwig?" Harry asked looking around the room. "We've been using her for mail," Sirius answered. "That's good, at least she's kept busy." He dug through his trunk until he found his wand.
"Do you have a shower, I could use?" Harry asked Hermione. "Yeah, down the hall," she led him there. "Thank you," he said. "Do you need any clothes?" she asked. "No, I'll grab something out of my trunk." He then closed the door to shower. Hermione went downstairs with Remus and Sirius, and the three cooked dinner.
Harry showered, put on his too short, too wide clothes and went downstairs. "I would say you need some food, new clothes and a haircut, Harry," Sirius said upon seeing him. "I would have to agree, what's for eating?" Harry answered, "I don't care what it is, just give me food." "Here," Hermione said handing Harry a bowl of soup, "And let me fix your robes." "Huh," Harry grunted. With a mutter of spells and a wave of her wand, Hermione made Harry's robes fit. "Better?" "Perfect." "Want a haircut?" "Food first.'
After Harry massacred the food, Hermione asked, "Do you want a haircut, now?" "Thank you, yes." Was there life in Harry's eyes again? Yes, food and good company can do that. "Anything specific?" she asked. "No, just chop it off," he answered. "Any suggestions, Sirius, Remus?" "Don't cut it to short, let him have some hair," Sirius suggested. "What about the beard?" she asked. "Cut it off, shave it, whatever," Harry answered. She cut Harry's hair similar to how she remembered it, with her wand, of coarse, then shaved the beard off with a hair removal spell. "Thanks, this feels so odd, surreal almost, I know I'm here, but it's so strange," Harry commented. "I know how you feel, Harry, it's how I felt after I escaped, no more reliving the worst moments of my life." "It is surreal to think Harry is sitting in my living room, when only a week ago, it seemed as if it would never happen," Hermione said, "I'm so glad your free Harry!, now only Sirius is left," and she hugged Harry.
