A/N; I don't own Harry Potter or it's characters.
The next morning after revealing herself to the wizarding world, Alex was in Dumbledore's office, to talk about Draco, and Alex was not looking forward to it.
As Alex sat, Dumbledore looked to her. "Alex, there will be a trial this evening, for Draco's sentencing, he is most likely going be sent to Azkaban, for your kidnapping, and joining Voldemort." Dumbledore said sadly. "Will I have to be there?" Alex asked. "I'm afraid so, you need to tell the court what had happened, don't worry I will be there, and will support your claims," Dumbledore assured her, as Alex nodded. "When do we leave?" Alex asked. "Be here by noon, and we will leave then." Dumbledore said, then they went into what had happened to Alex, and once Dumbledore had gotten the full story, he dismissed Alex, after making sure she remembered when to come by.
A couple hours later, Alex was in her room, at Crystal's school, to get ready for her court appearance, when there was knock on the door. "Come in professor Crystal," Alex called out, as she picked up a nice green dress robes, Crystal came in. "Good choice," Crystal said, coming up to Alex. "Thanks, but I wish I didn't need to go, I have this feeling that something is going to happen," Alex said, looking unsure. "Is it a strong feeling?" Crystal asked, as Alex nodded. "Could be another power from your mind element, which means you are a Seer, but not that powerful, since you only can sense the future," Crystal said. "Great a Seer, I never was good in Divination," Alex said in despair. "Alex, it is a natural gift, that no one can teach," Crystal informed her, as Alex nodded in defeat.
For a while no one spoke, then Alex eyes suddenly glazed over for a second, then she closed her eyes, and Crystal knew something had happened. "Alex?" Crystal called to her. "Professor, you need to find any information on the veil of Death in the Department of Mysteries. I'm afraid something will happen there, concerning Laura, Tina and myself." Alex suddenly said. "But they are not going are they?" Crystal asked. "I saw the future Crystal, and they were with me, I need to ask them to come with me, or something bad will happen if they don't. I don't know why, but they must be with me." Alex pleaded, hoping Crystal would OK it. "Alright go ahead and get ready, I will inform them," Crystal said, as she started to leave. "Thanks, and I will be careful," Alex said, as the door closed, Alex got ready.
Five minutes before noon, Dumbledore was surprised to see Alex was not alone. "Alex who are your friends?" Dumbledore asked pleasantly. "This is Tina an Earth Elemental, and Laura an Ice elemental," Alex said, introducing her friends. "Glad to meet you, I take it you both are coming to the hearing?" Dumbledore asked, as they nodded. "Then we better get going," Dumbledore said, then turn to Alex. "You may scan my mind for our destination," he said, as Alex nodded. "I got it, alright let hold hands." Alex said, after a second of silence, and they were gone.
Once they appeared, they were in front of a large fountain, with statues of magical creatures in the center. "Wow, they look so life-like," Tina said. "Yes it is well made, but come, we have some things to do before the hearing," Dumbledore said, and led the girls away from the fountain, and into a busy room, filled with wizards walking about.
Close by the fountain, was a both with an elderly wizard sitting, looked up as Dumbledore came to him. "Yes, may I help you?" He asked. "Yes, we are here for Draco Malfoy's hearing," Dumbledore said, as the wizard nodded. "Can I have your wands please?" The wizard said, and Dumbledore handed his, and gestured the girls to do the same, and once the wizard got all wands. "I will be holding your wands for now, sorry new rules for court appearance." The wizard said, as Dumbledore looked uncertain but nodded. "Come girls, we need to head to the elevators," Dumbledore said, then led the girls to the elevators.
As Alex was heading to the elevator she knew something was going to happen, and before she knew why, she turn to see Fudge heading their way. "Headmaster Dumbledore, good of you to come by." He said pleasantly, beside him was Lucius Malfoy, whom was grinning at Alex. "Minister Fudge, Lucius, good evening to both of you," Dumbledore said, but Alex knew he did not like this encounter. "And who is your students, if I may ask?" Fudge asked. "This is Laura and Tina, they are friends of Alexandra Potter," Dumbledore said introducing the girls. "Ah, yes I was surprised that Harry Potter was a girl, come we better head to the courtroom." Fudge said, as he led them to the elevators.
Once the elevator stopped, Alex and her friends were startled to see a number of Aurors pointing their wands at Alex. "Minister Fudge what is the meaning of this?!" Dumbledore asked, with no small amount of barely contained rage. "Alexandra Potter is under arrest for the murder of both Cedric Diggory, and of her relatives, conspiracy against the Ministry, the kidnapping of Draco Malfoy and the lies of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named returning," Fudge said, as he looked angrily at Alex. "Men seize her!" he finally said, and before Alex or the others could do anything, a very shocked Alex was grabbed and dragged away. "Her trial will be in an hour, I am sure you wont have time gather anything to defend her with," Fudge said, and left.
After a few seconds, no one spoke till. "We have got to do something!" Laura said. "It would be best if we wait till the trial. Tina, Laura, I know Crystal must have given you both emergency port keys, to return to the school," both girls nodded. "Then get professor Crystal, and tell her what is happening. Go!" they both grabbed their necklaces and were gone.
While Dumbledore was waiting, Alex was taken to a darkened circular courtroom, which resembled the one she saw in Dumbledore's pensive a year ago, accept for one difference. It had an archway in the center, and Alex quickly recognized it from her vision. "Welcome Potter." Lucius Malfoy said, coming up to her. "What do you want with me?" Alex asked, looking frightened, at what she felt from Lucius. "Do you know what that is?" Lucius asked ignoring Alex, while pointing to the archway, as Alex shook her head. "It is called the Veil of Death, we used it to execute our prisoners a long time ago, luckily it has not been use for quite a while, until now." He said then gesture the others to bring Alex closer to the Veil.
As Alex was taken to the Veil, someone else was brought in. "Lucius what is going on?" Fudge asked, as he was dragged in by two Aurors. "Oh nothing much, I'm just helping to over throw the Ministry. You know you really should have listened to Potter here, since everything she said was true," Lucius said, as Fudge's eyes went wide. "No it can't be, you are joking." Fudge said, trying to dismiss it, but Lucius waved his wand. "Finite Incantatum!" He yelled, and all the Aurors robes turned into Death Eater robes. "You see, the Dark Lord will win this time, and all thanks to you," he said, and smiled as he turn to Alex. "Throw her-" he started, but was cut off. "Expelliarmus!" "Stupefy!" said a number of people taking out a small number of Death Eaters.
As the spells were cast, Lucius quickly ducked out of the way, as Alex while still being held turned to see Dumbledore and others coming in. "Alex!" Dumbledore called out, as spells were being cast, but Alex knew they would never make it, as the Death Eaters took her closer to the Veil. "Throw her in, and lets get out of here!!" Lucius said, as the two Death Eaters complied, and threw Alex in, to the horror of Dumbledore and others rushing to try to stop them, but it was too late, as Alex disappeared into the Veil, and the surviving Death Eaters apparated away.
Once the room was clear, Sirius went to the Veil. "NO! NO! NO!" He called out, but Dumbledore grabbed him. "It's too late, she is gone," Dumbledore said sadly. "We couldn't have, she must be alive," Sirius said, as Remus came up to him. "I'm sorry Sirius." Remus said, as they hugged each other knowing the truth.
As Remus and Sirius comforted each other, others while saddened at the lose, were rounding up the Death Eaters, when Crystal came in. "Professor Dumbledore a word please," she said, as Dumbledore left the room with her.
Once alone. "Please Crystal, tell me you save Alex like last time," Dumbledore
said hopefully. "I'm sorry, we can't this time, but there is something you should know. Alex knew something would happen, she may have been prepared for this." Crystal said. "What, but how?" Dumbledore asked. "She spent the last hours with her friends, and she told them not to worry, so I know she must have known what was going to happen." Crystal assured him, but there was a note of worry. "Then, let us hope she will return to us soon, I better inform everyone close to her." Dumbledore said sighing, as he left. "Please come home soon Alex," Crystal said, as she looked to the Veil of Death from the doorway.
