"Quick wake
up!" Hermione heard someone scream
Hermione jumped out in
bed frightened, "What! Ginny what's the matter?"
"Lucius's
trial starts in 15 minuets come on!"
"Oh shit!" Hermione
ran downstairs transfiguring her clothes and grabbed some toast.
"Come then Ginny" and they apperated to the ministry together
Draco Malfoy had been at the ministry of magic since
4:30 that morning. He was in the men's toilets to calm himself down
and to think away from all the aurors and paparazzi that badgered him
with questioning.
He had grown exceedingly nervous at the
thought of testifying against his own father. The only thing that
kept him on track was the thought of getting revenge for Hermione and
the memory of a love that they had once shared long ago that had
faded away as a cause if him.
"She doesn't understand!"
Draco said to the mirror. "I wanted to keep her safe I loved her
too much."
Then a p.a. blasted through the ministry "case
1485 of Lucius Vladamir Malfoy is to take place in five minuets.
Please may all participants make their way to courtroom one. Thank
you"
Malfoy looked in the mirror one last time "well here
goes nothing."
"Mr. Lucius Vladamir
Malfoy you have been charged with law 10.6 of the misuse of dark
artifacts law. How do you plead?"
"Not guilty" replied
Lucius calmly to the courtroom.
"Court is now into
procession please can Mr. Potter call up his first witness."
"Of
course your honour. I call Mr. Draco Malfoy to the stands"
Everyone
in the court started whispering and the infamous journalist white
haired journalist Rita Skeeter started furiously scribbling down
notes. "Why would young mister Malfoy testify against his own
father?" Draco could hear people whisper in the crowd
"Draco?"
whispered Hermione to Ginny as she looked at the gorgeous figure of
Draco Malfoy as he made his way to the witness box.
"How
could you do this to me Draco? Your own flesh and blood?" shouted
Lucius Lucius looked ready to jump on him and kill him right
there and then.
"Order in the court order in the court"
the judge, shouted as he bashed his hammer down on the table.
Everyone became silent but still looking at Draco in a state of
confused and shock. The only thing that could be heard was the
scribble of the journalists writing notes.
Draco was beginning
to get nervous, he looked round the court he looked up at the highest
stand and there she was next to that fiery red headed Weasley .she
was whispering something to her and turned to look at Draco.
This
was the man she had slapped twice in one day, the man who made her
hide from everyone she cared about and the man who broke her heart
but she looked down at him, smiled and then looked back at
Harry.
Draco felt like he did when he was seventeen so in love
so content he remembered how even the smallest of her smiles would
make him so loved so content.
"Hello! Mr. Malfoy I'll ask
you again!" said Harry who was obviously annoyed, "what sort of
things would your father do to muggles and muggleborns in your
household?"
Draco looked at potter 'for Hermione' "he
would put a muggle and a muggleborn under a unforgivable curse to see
how long they would last."
"Did he do anything else of the
sort?"
"Yes he placed my mother under the imperious curse
so she wouldn't go in to the ministry and tell them the things he
had done. I know she would have. She hated him doing those things as
much as I did"
"And what did he do to you Mr.
Malfoy?"
Draco looked at harry and gave a ghost of a smile,
"he threatened to kill someone close to me." He quickly glanced
at Hermione and carried on. "Also from the age of eight he had been
training me to become a deatheater just like he was. By the time I
was ten I already knew how to the cruticus curse and imperious. He
often made me train on the house elves or even out me under them to
see how long I could last,"
The courtrooms thick tension
broke into shouts of anger and disgust. When everyone had quietened
Harry carried on.
"One last question Mr. Malfoy. Did you
ever become a deatheater?"
Draco rolled up his sleeve and
showed the court his forearm. "No" he replied "and I never
will."
"Thank you Mr. Malfoy you are dismissed"
Draco
walked out the witness stand and to his place in the court behind
potter but next to him father. His father turned to Draco and said so
quietly that only he could hear "blood traitor."
Draco
didn't care. He slid a finger across his throat, smiled and turned
back to potter.
"My next witness is Mrs. Narcissa
black-Malfoy." The courtroom started muttering once more as the
wife on Lucius Malfoy slowly came towards the witness stand
"Children?" Draco whispered to himself. "I'm an only child."
"Before Draco was born I had two supposed miscarriages. They weren't miscarriages at all. They were beautiful baby girls but Lucius wanted a male heir so he lost his temper. The first child should be about thirty now. Lucius drowned her in the lake while putting a paralyse curse on me so I couldn't save her. All I could do was watch as my baby girl died, then second time he threw the baby across the wall and burnt her in our bedroom fire place." Narcissa started crying "she would have been 28 this October."
Aurors at the front of the court had to stop people getting to the front to get at Lucius."Thank you Mrs. Malfoy. You are dismissed"
"ORDER! ORDER! ORDER IN THE COURTROOM!" the crowd calmed down considerably and the judge turned to Harry, "Do you have anymore witnesses Mr. Potter?"
"No your honour."
"Mr. Malfoy please come to the stand," said the judge with a look of disgust on his face. Lucius mearly walked arrogantly to the suspect's box and sat down smiling at everyone.
"Mr. Malfoy will you answer my question or will you need more forced techniques of persuasion?"
"I will not answer questions from a half blooded bastard such as such as yourself Mr. Potter." He spat.
"Fine. Perliza" when Lucius went as limp and Harry pulled out a bottle of truth serum and forced the potion down Lucius throat and said, "finite incantartem." Lucius fell into a trance
"Mr. Malfoy my first question is did you join lord Voldermort's forces by your own free will or were you forced?"
"By my own free will. I wanted to pureblood domination. None of all this half blood and mudblood filth."
"And Mr. Malfoy I have one more question for you. Is the evidence given against you here today by your wife and son against you true?"
The court held their breaths as they looked at the tranced Lucius Malfoy. "Yes it is true."
The whole court was in uproar."ORDER! ORDER IN THE COURT!" everyone went silent,
"Have the jury come to a decision?" he asked an old man with a luxurious emerald green robe.
"We find the defendant guilty of all charges." People around the court clapped with grim looks on their faces; they all knew what was coming next.
"Guards! Please take Mr. Malfoy to execution chamber 7" the judge told the aurors at the entrance. "This case is dismissed!" while people got up and started to make their way to the chamber.
"Hermione! Ginny! Come with me to get good seats!" he called over the noise of people rushing out. He grabbed their hands and took them to the very back of the courtroom and pushed the ministry of magic badge on the will to reveal a passage completely made from stone. "Come on this way."
They walked for about two minuets when they came to tapestry with a picture of the founders of hogwarts. "Password?"
"One minuet it's ... umm I know it. Oh yes its sadiam." The tapestry rolled up and the wall split into two to let the through." Come on just down the hall on the left. Yep here we are execution chamber 7."
They went in to find they were the first ones there so they sat down staring at the glass room infront of them. Fifteen-minuet later the hall had finally filled up.
"He finally gets what he deserves "whispered Hermione. Ginny and Harry held Hermione's hands tight remembering how he had killed there friend Reamus Lupin by stabbing her through the heart with a silver dagger Harry let a lone tear roll down his face at the memory but quickly wiped it away; he hated showing weakness.
The room was filled with paparazzi and journalists just waiting to spread the news to the rest of the world that pure blood fanatic Lucius Malfoy was finally as good as dead.
Draco sat at the front a few seats away from potter. He looked down and saw Hermione's face and smiled. He grabbed a hold of his mother's hand they were shaking but he knew she was happy. It made Draco a little sad to realise that father had not conceived him because of love but just power.
Narcissa looked at Draco "be brave my boy."
"Don't worry mother I want this to happen."
Narcissa like her son had married only for purity of blood. She was also in love with another. Reamus. They went out when they were at school they were so in love like Draco but was made to marry a pureblood who didn't care for her. Lucius knew that Narcissa loved Reamus and that Reamus loved Narcissa so a year before Voldermort's fall Lucius stabbed Reamus through the heart with a silver dagger.
Narcissa let a tear fall down her face "don't be sad mother we're finally going to be free" and Draco held his mother tighter.
The door banged open and Lucius was gagged and pulled in to the glass room in front of them then magically bound to a chair. After about one minuet a dementor glided in to the glassroom.
Harry grabbed on to Hermione's hand tight she remembered how much Harry was frightened of dementors and smiled then looked back at Lucius.
Tears fell down Lucius's faces as he saw the dementor come in. He tried to get out the seat but soon he stopped struggling and looked out the glass. There she was mudblood granger. He destroyed her and he knew she came to make sure that he was destroyed the same way that she had been. By taking his soul away. He smiled and looked towards the dementor.
It lowered it hood and moved towards the chair 'this is it' thought Lucius 'the end of a life of power, a pureblood life and the last human face I see is that of a mudblood. Ironic' and he gave a small laugh.
Hermione shrieked as she saw the dementor's hands grab Lucius around the face and it clamped its mouth to his chin. Lucius started shaking uncontrollable still bound to his chair his soul being sucked out through his mouth.
Hermione started crying. She felt that seeing Lucius suffer was like seeing Draco suffer as they looked so similar. She had thought that she would enjoy it but she hated every moment. Her eyes were fixed on Lucius.
Finally Lucius stopped moving all together. He no longer had memory, happiness, sadness, anger or fear. There was nothing. He just stared infront of him doing nothing.
Lucius Malfoy was now as good as dead he was soulless, he was something he feared to be most. He was nothing.
After a while the paparazzi left, everyone made their way out leaving just Narcissa and her son Draco to stare at the remains of their miniature dictator. Draco got out of his seat come on mother time to go home."
Narcissa turned to her son "I'll come later dear I've got a few places I want to go to"
"Like where mother?"
"To Reamus's resting place. I'll be home about six ok dear," and she disapperated.
Draco smiled and looked at his watch "shyt I'm late!" but before he went anywhere he looked at his father saying, "I lost something special because of you. Your evil, paranoid, demented and pathetic. All this rubbish about power. Look at you now father your nothing. You're lower than any muggle could ever be" Draco apperated away to his department on the other side of the ministry.
Lucius was left in the hall alone. He was no one anymore. But the damaged that he had once done still remained. He broke away two people who were deeply in love hoping that they would never go back together. But everyone knows that true love sometimes breaks a bit but it always repairs it self even one as damaged as Draco Malfoy's and Hermione granger's
