My heart will go on
Chapter twelve
Narcissa timidly stood up. The glare her husband had sent her had made memories resurface, memories she wanted to forget.
Harry nodded slightly, a silent reassurance that he wouldn't let anything happen to her once the trial was over.
"I have suspected that my husband has been up to something for a while now." She began. "He has a set routine that is never broken, however recently he has been breaking it a lot. Leaving the house at odd times and locking himself in his office for hours on end."
"Have you never thought to ask what he is doing?"
"Often." She replied. "However I have always been to scared to do so, I used to ask questions, when I was still a Black that is, but I was taught over the years that a Malfoy women do not ask questions or speak at all unless asked."
"What is the point of your presence here today if you know nothing?"
"The point, I decided that I had had enough of not knowing, of being treated like second class because of my gender, I cast a see all, hear all, know all, spell around the room. It is more commonly known as the Undetectable. It is impossible to find and can not be tampered with."
"Yes, yes, I know that particular spell, please continue."
"My evidence in defence for my son is what I found out after I cast that spell on my husband's study."
Narcissa cast the spell and the entire court room watched as Lucius' office came into view before them.
"Could you please skip the parts that are unimportant?"
"Of course."
With another flick of her wand the office became a blur until Lusius himself appeared. Narcissa slowed the image down to normal speed.
The entire court room watched in fascination as Lucius took some flu powder, threw it into the fire and called out someone's name, it sounded like McNair.
"Isn't McNair one of the escaped deatheaters?" Someone in the Wizengamot said into the silence. Quite a few people murmured in agreement.
Harry took a moment to turn to Lucius; he didn't look overly pleased with his new development.
At that moment two of the triplets began to whimper, Harry knew at once it was feeding time.
He whispered the incantation he needed and three full bottles of milk appeared on the bench.
He couldn't feed all three at the one time, however they were all going to start crying in a minute if he didn't do something quickly.
Harry turned in desperation to the person sitting behind him and saw that it was none other than Parvati; she recognized him immediately and smiled, giving a little wave.
"I know this seems really rude and awkward but could you give me a hand?" He asked.
She looked at the triplets and nodded, Harry handed her Halley and a bottle while he fed Hannah and Holly.
"Thank you." He mouthed as Parvati sat Halley back on he bench, just as he finished feeding the other two.
"No problem." Came the reply. When Harry turned back he saw that the Lucius playing in front of him now had an arrangement of items on his desk.
Harry watched confused before he heard the mumblings of a spell. I sounded like a spell to resurrect the dead, this was it, this was the evidence that basically assured Draco's realise.
I promise, when we get out of here I'm going to give you the night of your life, I love you so much, my heart couldn't go on with out you.
Harry said in his mind while concentrating hard on Draco, the blonde looked up from the chair he was seated in and looked contently into Harry's eyes.
Then Draco did something that Harry had missed dreadfully while he had been away, he smiled. It was the smile that had made Harry's heart flutter the first time he had seen it.
It gave him the feeling that in a few hours they would be sat at home, this entire episode of their lives forgotten. Lucius would be in Azkaban instead of Draco and they could be a family.
The image stopped playing and Narcissa sat down, this broke Harry from his musing's. The judge looked worriedly at him as he had a slightly dazed look about him.
Harry smiled, a sign that he was alright and leant close to Narcissa and whispered: "Well done, I have no doubt in my mind that we will win this."
"Would any one like to say any last words?" The judge asked.
Lucius shook his head, so did Narcissa but Harry stood up, this was going to be the icing on the cake.
"I would just like to add a little something, if that is alright." The judge nodded so Harry continued. "You have seen the evidence against my soon to be husband, you have seen the evidence in his defence and we both now what is stronger, however I also know that gold would have properly exchanged hands before the trial, that is why I must say this."
Everyone was silent, all eyes were on him, it thrilled him that everyone present was going to hear this and understand what it meant to send an innocent man to prison.
"You saw with your own eyes that Lucius Malfoy was trying to resurrect Voldermort, if you do not do something about it he will come back. I have defeated him for you once before, I don't have to do it again. I have a family now, I didn't then, I have something to live for now and I don't plan on risking my life for people who sent the one person I have ever loved to an unspeakable place."
Harry knew this was basically blackmail but he didn't care, the witches and wizards present weren't standing up trying to stop him, they were letting him have his say, they knew what Harry said was true.
"Lives were lost in the fight that ridded this world of the most evil wizard ever known, do not let there lives be lost in vain because of your greed."
Harry sat down, he placed his three daughters in his arms or lap. He stared at the one member of the wizengamot who had stood up.
"We have come to a decision."
"What is your verdict?"
"We find the accused..."
OK, how evil am I? Well you're going to have to wait for the next chapter to find out whether or not Draco gets off. Don't you just hate me right now? SS xxxxxxxx
