Trials and budding Romances; part 2

The Headmistress's face fell as the story unfolded as Ron told her all about Hannah finding the cure and how excited he had been. He quickly asked if they could try to make this potion for Remus. Minerva McGonagall, however excited, was hesitant about letting four students try and make such a complicated potion. In the end Harry had talked her into letting them try, she agreed that they could try as long as Professor Monkeey was present during the brewing process. They agreed and the Headmistress wrote a letter to said Professor explaining why the four students were attempting this potion. Before they left she stopped them with a piece of information they had been waiting for.

"The trials for the Death Eaters will be held over the next four days. I need to know whether or not you will be attending" she said.

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other and nodded.

"We'll be attending Professor, I would like to talk to Snape" Harry said, "Alone!" he said before he left.

They entered the Gryffindor Tower to find Aidan and Holden waiting for them. Hermione walked up to Aidan and kissed him lightly on his lips. He smiled and sat down, pulling Hermione onto his lap. Harry did the same in the chair he regularly occupied. Ron sat down beside Holden on a settee near the two couples. Harry sighed and kissed Ginny's neck. She giggled and Ron rolled his eyes.

"God Mate, get a bloody room"

"Alright, thanks mate" Harry said jokingly

"God, I was pulling your leg. Let's go to Hogsmeade for dinner. Everyone should come, a party of sorts. Then we'll come back here for a party here in the Tower" Ron suggested.

"That sounds like fun Ron, I think its brilliant" Holden said getting up and conjuring a notice. He hung it on the fireplace and smiled when the first years saw it and cheered. The six friends left the Tower and ran into the Defence Professor in the Entrance Hall.

"Where do you all think you're going?" he asked.

"Out for dinner Professor Noloouf, you're not to worry. Even though Tom is gone there is still an Order member following me at all times" Harry explained.

"Ahh yes Mr. Potter, have a nice dinner" the Professor said and walked into the Great Hall. The group of friends walked toward the parking barn. Because it was dark they had decided it was not safe to walk all the way into Hogsmeade. They climbed into the two separate cars. Harry drove Hermione's car with Ron, Holden and Ginny while Aidan drove his and Holden's car with Hermione. In Aidan's car Hermione's hand lay on Aidan's thigh and as he drove behind Hermione's car it inched further up the black clad thigh. By the time they reached the town Hermione had her hand on his zipper and was about to unzip it.

"Can this wait until later Hermione, I'd love to do here and know… you can feel that but my brother will be wondering where we are if we don't show up. Not to mention Harry and Ron. They're like your fucking body guards" Aidan said placing placating kisses down her jaw and neck.

"Alright Aidan… but later I'm having my way with you" she said sexily and kissed him fully on the lips. They exited the car and met up with the rest of the gang. They entered a tiny restaurant Harry had been to once before. They sat down after giving their names to the hostess and quickly ordered from the menu. After dinner they left the restaurant and strolled in Hogsmeade. At ten pm Harry said that he and Ginny were going to return to the castle. Ron and Holden decided that they too would return. Aidan and Hermione told them that they'd be up in a little while for the party. Ron nodded and reminded Harry that they needed to get the alcohol that would be available for seventh years.

"We'll get it from the pub on the way. See you in awhile" Harry said as they walked off towards the car. Hermione smiled and they waited ten minutes for before they too returned to the car. Instead of driving toward the school they got into the backseat of the car and began to kiss. Soon the kissing was turned into a battle between tongues. Hermione had her hand up the front of Aidan's shirt and Aidan was trying to unbutton Hermione's trousers. She lifted her hips and he pulled off the jeans she was wearing. He noticed the red satin thong she was wearing and squeezed he naked ass. She slid his shirt over his head and kissed her way down to his flat nipples. She sucked one of them into her wet mouth and smiled at his gasp. Soon both were naked and Hermione was straddling his lap. Her hand slid down his chest and into his lap. She grasped his hard cock and fondled him, he gasped and took her hand from him and grabbed her hips. She squirmed and then led him into her. As he entered her she sighed and began moving with his thrusts. He took one of her hard nipples in to his mouth and sucked and flicked it with his tongue. She gasped again from the dual pleasure of him inside her and his tongue on her nipple. As she came closer to her release her hips thrust down on him as he thrust up. She came when he thrust up while holding down her hips and his hard cock hit her g-spot. He came seconds later as her vaginal walls gripped his cock and he groaned into her neck. She smiled when he removed himself from her and they sat in the back seat of his car while they caught their breath.

"I think it's time to go back to the party huh Herms?" he said.

"Sure baby, why not" she smiled and pulled on the thong with a little difficulty and then they rest of her clothes soon followed. He dressed and got into the drivers seat. They returned to the Tower ten minutes later and found that most of the first through fifth years had gone to bed. Hermione held Aidan's hand as they walked to where their friends were. Ron sat by himself nursing what looked like a Fire whisky.

"Ron what are you drinking?" Hermione asked in a calm voice. She felt so relaxed and happy.

"Fire whisky Herms, try some" he handed her he bottle.

"No thanks, what else do you have?" she asked.

"Well, there's butter beer over there for the wee ones and in our little stash over here we have some Olav's Vodka, some Rum and something Harry calls coke, muggle something or other" the slightly drunk Ron said. Hermione looked over at the couch where the rest of her friends were sitting. Harry had his head in Ginny's lap where he had either passed out or fallen asleep. Ginny too was asleep with her head on Holden's shoulder. He was sitting staring into space with a look of absolute boredom on his face. Hermione grabbed the bottle of vodka and the bottle of coke along with two glasses and led her new found lover into her common room.

In Gryffindor common room, Ron passed out after drinking another shot of the whisky and soon Dean and Seamus had to drag their friends' lifeless bodies up to their room. Dean picked up Ginny and placed her beside Harry in his large bed. While Dean did this Seamus was routing through the potions cabinet in the common room looking for the right amount of hangover solution for the morning. After doing this he grabbed the empty bottles and the half filled bottles of alcohol and stashed them in a bin specifically hidden from house elves and Professors. Once all that was finished he went up to his room and fell asleep in his bed, once again alone.

The next morning was not only painful for Harry and the gang but they were reminded at breakfast why they did not drink very often. Even Ron, who had the appetite of a wild boar couldn't eat a thing. Once they had gulped down their potions and had had a cuppa the Headmistress reminded Harry, Ron and Hermione that she would be leaving for the trials in half and hour and if they still wanted to go they were to meet her there at that time. Harry nodded and with a swish of his wand looked healthy and refreshed. He was dressed in a nice suit as well as an outer robe. Both Hermione and Ron did the same spell on them and met the Headmistress in the Entrance Hall.

"Well, I see you are all ready. Let's go then" she led them to the apparition point and told them to apparate to the Ministry lobby. They nodded and Hermione and Ron disappeared.

"Harry, we've known each other for a long time and I know you are angry at Severus for doing what he did but please do not be too harsh on him. He must have had his reasons"

"Not too harsh, Professor he murdered Dumbledore… in cold blood. I was there… I saw how that thing killed one of the closest persons I had to a father" Harry said.

"I know Harry but don't go too far, promise me?"

"I promise I won't go too far" Harry said before he too disappeared.

The four met in the lobby and the Headmistress led the three students to the specialized holding cells. Harry entered the one holding the traitor. He clouded the door with a spell and silenced the room. Severus Snape was sitting in the middle of the room silently looking up at Harry.

"Why did you do it?" was the only thing Harry asked.

"He made me an offer I couldn't refuse" Snape said sarcastically.

"That's bullshit, he trusted you beyond the trust of a Professor and his employer. He loved you like a son, treated you like an equal even though he knew about your past. NO matter how much we told him you were a lying sack of shit he said he trusted you and then you went and FUCKING KILLED HIM… in cold blood" Harry screamed.

Snape sat watching the teen in fascination.

"He loved me?" he asked in a small voice.

"Yes" Harry said.

At that one word Severus Snape, Death Eater and former Potions Master sobbed. Tears were steaming down his face and he rocked back and forth. Harry shook his head in pity and exited the cell. As he left the spells he had cast on the room finished and the rest of the group could see Severus Snape crying like a child. Headmistress McGonagall asked what he had done and Harry replied that he ad enlightened the ex-professor of his heinous deed. She nodded and led the students to a room at the end of the holding room. Inside there was a bench quite similar to what Harry had seen in the pensive many years ago. In front of the bench that stood one solitary chair that had chains attached to it, and beyond that there were chair that looked like they were for observers. The Headmistress sat down and nodded for the other to do so. When Harry had sat down the door behind the bench opened to reveal the Wizardgamot. They all sat and ran a tiny bell beside the Minister of Magic, Amelia Bones. From the door by which Harry and his friends had entered two Aurors brought in a still crying Severus Snape. They bound him to the chair and stood off to the side. Amelia Bones cleared her throat and started to speak.

"You, Severus Snape, have been convicted of treason against our Ministry, consorting with the enemy and murder of an elder. What do you plead?"

Severus looked up and whispered his plea,

"Guilty"

"Well, I see we will have no trouble with you. You're punishment should be death but I wish to consult someone further. Mr. Potter, what is your opinion?"

Harry stood and looked at his ex-professor.

"Minister, I believe that death is too quick for the heinous actions of any of these prisoners. I believe they should be sent to a place where they should never be let out. They should be locked up in a fortress and made to suffer the consequences of their actions. However, this will never happed as there will always be someone to rescue them. Therefore I believe that each and everyone one of these traitors should be sentenced to death, by which ever means the Ministry finds most suitable" he said before sitting down. Hermione looked over at him for a moment before she too nodded along with Ron.

"Thank you Mr. Potter. I believe you are right. Severus Snape you are sentenced to death. You will await your fate in your cell" he was led out and Draco Malfoy was led in. The same proceeding was again repeated but the minister did not call upon Harry. Draco Malfoy looked horrified that he would die and fought as the Aurors led him out. The four sat in the same chairs as the entire inner circle of Death Eaters were marched in and out all day. Each was sentenced to death and led out before another counterpart was led in. By nine in the evening the entire inner circle had been tried. Harry, Ron and Hermione returned to the school while their Headmistress stayed behind. When the trio entered the school they were greeted by Aidan, Holden and Ginny. They were questioned about the proceeding and Hermione explained how the day had gone. Ginny looked upset and relieved that their ex-professor and Order member was to be put to death. Harry hugged her and they went back to the tower with Ron and Holden walking behind them. Aidan went to Hermione and kissed her.

"How are you Herms?"

"I'm aright Aidan, it was just a little hard actually finding out the true identities of the Death Eaters" she explained. Aidan nodded and started to lead her toward her common room.

"Granger" a voice called from the entrance to the Dungeons.

She turned toward the voice to find a group of Slytherins.

"What happened Granger?" Blaise Zambini asked.

"Do you really want to know what happened to your classmates parents?" she asked wearily.

"Yes, we do" Pansy Parkinson said.

"Alright, is there somewhere we can all talk?" she asked. They led her and Aidan down to their common room and Hermione sat on a couch with Aidan. She looked around and realized that a fair few of the older students had parents who would be put to death in the morning.

"I guess you all want to know what happened to your old Head of House and what happened to your parents" she said. She received nods all around.

"Severus Snape will be put to death in the morning, he will be the first" she said.

"What about Draco?" someone asked.

"Him too, actually most of the inner circle will be put to death tomorrow. That included the Lestranges, the Malfoys, Mr. Zambini, both your parent Pansy and an assortment of others"

"You mean all of our parents will be… murdered" Pansy asked in a quiet voice.

"I'm sorry but don't they deserve it? They've murdered thousands of people. They really don't deserve to live" Hermione stood and started to walk toward the door. Aidan nodded to the Slytherins and followed.

"That's not what she meant Miss Granger" Blaise said.

Hermione turned.

"WE were never in cohorts with Draco, it was all an act. When we graduated, we were all going to revolt against Voldermort. We would have followed Harry and the Order. It was all an act" Pansy said.

"We never wanted to be Death Eaters, we hate our parents, well most of us do. Draco was brainwashed, he believed that Voldermort could give him something we couldn't, that no one could give him" Blaise explained. Hermione nodded and told them that tomorrow morning would be the execution on the inner circle.

"I suggest that if you want to see your parents for a final time, you ask permission to go to the Ministry before 11 am" she said and left the grieving students. Aidan led her to her common room and was about to leave when she pulled him to her and asked him to stay with her. He nodded and they curled up together on Hermione's bed.
