The Trial


Lucy and Rashad*****************************************

" Uncle Rashad don't worry it'll be fine". Lucy said trying to comfort her uncle. " A few days ago when I was at Harry and Ron's apartment, I heard Harry said as much as he doesn't like he's going to testify on your behalf because he thinks that he saw Hermione slept with you willingly".

" I don't know why am I'm so worried now. Before I would have swore that I was going to get away with it, but now I think something is going to happen to me". He said now sitting down on the couch

" Nothing is going to happen to you in the morning the police guard will pick you up and escort you to the court house". She said now sitting down next to her uncle. " And even if you do go to jail we'll just appeal". He turned when he heard her say that. " It's not like anything is going to happen to you, you're a Riddle and you know no one can mess with a Riddle". She said with a great sense of pride.

Rashad began to think. He just had a saddened flash back it was off his time in jail. He saw that man raping him. He could still fell he pain he had tried his hardest to hid the bruises and pain. He looked over at his niece she was just sitting there so peacefully. He wondered what was going on he would never tell her what he had experienced.

He then thought about his brother Tom. He then laugh out loud. He saw his nice look at him.

" What's so funny". She said with great interest.

" Nothing I just remembered something that happen when me and her father were growing up". He said still laughing.

" Will you please tell me". She said showing even more interest than she did before.

" Yeah I'll tell you". He said now about to began. At than moment the telephone began to ring.

Lucy rushed to pick up the phone. When she answered it she head the voice of her grandfather. " Hello grandpa it's me Lucy do you want anything"? She said now sounding a little concern.

" Yes you can do something for me. Get the over here as fast as you can it's urgent". He said.

" What is it dad wants"? He said now getting out of his chair.

" He wants me to get over to his house this instant". She said now putting on her coat.

" Well I'll come with you"?

" !No! You know you're on house arrest". She said.

" So", he said shrugging his shoulders " I don't give a fuck what those people said. " I'm getting out of here".

" No you can't you know the police got this place wired. If I didn't put up a silencing spell around this apartment I wouldn't be talking about all that stuff to you". She said now reasoning to him. " Now sit down and stay here till tomorrow. And I'll see you tomorrow in court". She said as she now walked out his front door.

Lucy and her grandfather ten minutes later*****************

Lucy walked into her grandfather's house. When she looked around she saw no one and nothing there. Then out of the bathroom her grandfather came. He looked very furious and determined.

" Hi grandpa it's me Lucy". She said trying to make conversation. " It's time". He said very quickly after she finished talking.

" I beg you're pardon"

"You know what I mean". He said getting very angry. " It's time to attack Harry and his friends. We'll do it tomorrow after you're uncles trial". He said now sitting down.

This put a smile on Lucy's face. She had been waiting for this moment since the start of the school year. She could think of those nights when she thought about what it would be like to kill the people who killed her father. This just made her day. " How long after uncle Rashad trial will we wait to attack and kill them"? She said now putting her feet on top of the table.

He pushed her feet from off the table. She gave him a look. " we attack just ten minutes after". They both put on a smile. They couldn't wait for tomorrow.

Hermione the next morning*********************************

Hermione woke in a cold sweat. The room looked like it had been spinning all through the night. You could hear the curtains knocking hard against the windows. Hermione felt a nasty and bitter taste in her mouth

She got up out of her bed to walk to the bathroom. As she walked in she glanced at a towel. It was Lavender's towel. She must have left it here, Hermione thought to herself. Hermione took her eyes off of it. She couldn't bare to look at it anymore, it brought back feeling of despair that she would do just about anything to let go away.

That wasn't the worst thing, today was Rashad Kelly's trial. She was feeling sort of happy about it. She just wanted it all to be over. She wanted to see him locked behind bars. Away from society, especially from her.

She then thought about Harry as she watched herself in the mirror brushing her teeth in the same pattern, and motion she has always done it. He didn't believe her when she told him she was raped. He thought she was lying, and that she willingly slept with professor Kelly.

She thought about Lavender how could she think that she'd do something like that to her. And Ron where in the world did e hear that she wanted him in bed. She completely stopped thinking about it, it only made her hate him for saying she said such a thing about her.

She just finished brushing her teeth. She got into the shower very slowly. She had to get ready, the trial would be in only four hours.

The Trial**********************************************

It was around noon when the squad cars pulled up in front of the court house. In the first one Rashad Kelly sat awaiting for the trial to start. In the second one Hermione Granger was seated in the back surrounded by officers in which she had requested. Everyone quickly gathered in the court house for the start of the trial.

The judge quickly was seated and ready. " Mr Kelly how do you plead on the charges of the rape of Ms. Granger"?

" Not guilty your honor". He said.

" Well then let's begin. Mr Joe please call your first witness to the stand"? The judge said.

" For my first witness I call Mr. Harry Potter to the stand"? He said pointing his fingers to Harry.

Harry got up from his bench and walked to the witness chair. He looked directly at Hermione in the eye. He then turned to look at his new girlfriend Lucy. He saw that she had a very serious and concerned look on her face he wondered a moment, what it was?

" Mr. Potter may please place your hand on this bible". The bailiff said out in the bible right in front of Harry. Harry pt his hand on the bible. " Do you swear to tell the whole truth nothing but the truth so help you God"?he said.

" I do" Harry said sitting down.

" Now Mr. Potter what is your relationship with ms. Granger and Mr. Kelly"?

" I was a student in professor Kelly's class. And I was Ms. Granger ex boyfriend".

" I have heard numerous people say that you saw what was going on with my client Mr. Kelly and Hermione Granger. Is that true"? He said as he continued to pace around the floor.

" Yes" Harry said nervously.

" And may you please tell the court exactly what you saw please"?

" I saw....." Harry started to get a little pale. This wasn't very easy for him to say. " I.. Saw.. I saw my professor Kelly having sex with Hermione in the butt." He said finally.

" How did this made you feel? In fact forget how did it look did it look like Ms. Granger was enjoying it". He said.

" I object to that". Hermione lawyer said.

" Overrule". The judge said taking a sip of water.

" As I was saying did it look like Ms. Granger was enjoying it"? He said now in a much louder tone.

" She wasn't making noises or anything but based on what I saw she was smiling". Harry said getting very sad as he turned his attention to Hermione. Who through out his whole testimony kept her head down.

" That is all Mr. Potter. I will like the jury to note that Mr. Potter said she looked like she was enjoying it. He said now going back to his seat.

" Mr. Smith do you wish to cross examine the witness"? The judge said.

" Yes I do your honor and in fact I would like to ask Mr. Potter when you saw what you're teacher and my client doing didn't it make you angry inside"? He said now walking in the direction of the witness stand.

" Yes it did". Harry said now beginning to fidget a little. He wasn't lying. He just felt a little nervous. " I wanted to go in there and stop it. I hated seeing Hermione doing that with that man". Harry said now looking out to her.

" I don't think we can do ths all in a day. I think it's best if we reconvene here tomorrow the same time. In that time Rashad Kelly should be escorted back to his house by the authorities but I am removing his house arrest. When Hermione heard those words it stung like a needle.

As everyone started to leave the court room. She payed her attention to Harry. She saw him leaving with Lucy, Ron, and Lavender. She knew that she was raped, and how Harry believes she wasn't. She felt sorry for him she knew that no questioned he loved her, and what he did back at his apartment was just to make her jealous. She wished that he would just comeback.

Harry hugged Lucy as he walked out of the court room. He turned his head a little and saw Hermione. He saw her looking at him, and how sad she looked. He quickly turned his head from her in an instant. Why am I feeling bad he was saying in his head. She was the one who cheated on me. I just told them what I saw.

Lucy on the other hand was happy. Harry's testimony had gone great and she was excited that it would get her uncle off the hook. She then looked at Harry, Lavender, and Ron. " Um you guys I have to go. I'll catch up with you later". She said

" Where are you going"? Harry said now holding onto to her a little tighter.

" I Just have to do something real quick. I'll tell you guys about it later alright". She said with a smile on her face as reached over to give Harry a kiss.

" Alright I'll see you later". He said now giving her a kiss on her forehead. He, Ron, and Lavender just continued to walk.

Those stupid idiots Lucy thought to herself as she walked off. She couldn't wait it would all be starting in just a few hours. When stupid Harry and his friends comes back here tonight they're going to die.

She then glanced at her grandfather giving him a signal. It wasn't a everyday single that everyone would notice. The last thing they wanted to do was have people find out that they're related to lord Voldemort and they're last name was Riddle. She was just waiting, waiting for tonight when the battle will begin.

A/N Yes I have finally finished chapter sixteen. This has been a long a draining chapter. I wrote another version of this chapter but didn't like how it was going, so I wrote it over. I can't believe I've actually made it to chapter sixteen. There are only two more chapters left in this story. I don't think chapter seventeen will be up for a while. The reason is what I'm thinking in my head sounds like it's going to be long. So bye please review and get ready for chapter seventeen coming soon.
