Chapter 16: Draco's Trial PT. 1
The week that follwed Dragon's break down went by smoothly, the Ravenclaw's happily accepted Dragon into their house. Mat and Dragon started classes together, the professor were very lieniant giving Mat until the end of the school year to make up the work and turn it in. Draco's trial was set for the next day, and Dragon was currently with Mat, Chastity, and Harry in the headmaster's office. "We'll attempt to break the memory charm when Remus and both the attorney's arrive. Until then, I believe Mr. Mcguire and Mr. Malfoy have to discuss something with Harry." Dumbledore said, looking both Dragon and Mat in the eye. "Care for some tea Chastity? I'd love to hear more about Capucius."
"That would be wonderful Albus." Chastity was led off to a side room, leaving Mat, Dragon, and Harry alone.
"Dad, I know we're young, but Mat and I would like to adopt Melissa's child. We've talked it over and I've already got Melissa's approval, and the papers, but becauuse we're still underage, we need a parent's signature."
"You've thought this all through, we're you going to keep the child while you attend Hogwarts, whose going to look after it when you're in classes. Where areyou going to get the money to support the three of you?" Harry asked more then a little bit skeptical.
"We're going to ask Dumbledore for our own suite of rooms so that we don't wake up our house mates. Enroll it in the day care that's here while we're in classes, and I'm going to try to get my music career off the ground while working for Fred and George to get money. Once I graduate, I'll get a teaching job if the music career doesn't get off anywhere, and Mat wants to become an Apparation tester." Harry considered everything for a second, made the calculations of what Dragon would inhert including what Harry and Draco were making as professors, and the inheritance the child would inhert for his future.
"Look, I'll sign as one parent, if one of Mat's parents signs as the other." Harry said smiling at them.
"Thanks dad." Dragon said, hugging Harry, Mat joined in also. With three loud bangs, Remus and the two attorneys Floo'd into the office.
"Let's get on with it then, I don't have all day." One of the lawyers said, brushing off his cloak.
"You must be the Malfoy family lawyer, huh?" Dragon said, looking at him skeptically.
"Of course. Since I am currently working on a settlement with the Black family lawyer, concerning other family matters, I don't have time to dawdle on this meeting."
"We're paying you to show up!" Dragon said, amazed at how pompous the lawyer sounded.
"Let's get started then, I've called you all here to bare witness that nothing has been done to tamper with Mr. Potter-Malfoy's memory, only to remove the memory charm that has been placed upon himm." Dumbledore said, getting up and standing infront of Dragon. "Finite Incantatum." All at once, memories came flooding back to Dragon. Seeing Vincent Crabbe take Polyjuice potion, seeing Oliver come towards him, hand raised ready to slap him, along with Draco kissing his finger after being cut by a thorny rose. Draco picking him up and swung him around in the air after he fell off his toy broom to make him smile and laugh again. There were so many mixed memories of Oliver and Vincet taking Polyjuice potion, beating and raping him, and Draco kissing cuts, making silly faces, and singing to him. Dragon couldn't stand it any more and broke down crying. He almost fell to his knee's but Mat caught him. The longer the images went on, the harder Dragon cried. After twenty minutes, he began to calm down.
"I take that as the proof the memory charm has been removed." Dumbledore handed Dragon a vial of calming draught, while Dragon nodded his head yes.
"Mat, why don't you take him to the Room of Requirement tonight, that way if Dragon needs anything it'll be at hand, and you two won't be disturbed." Chastity suggested, hugging Dragon tightly. Mat wrapped his arm around Dragon's waist and led him to the seventh floor.
"Can we skip the Room of Requirements?" Dragon asked, remembering the last time he was so emotional what had happened in the room. He wanted it to be special with Mat, not some quickie in some unknown room.
"Sure, where do you want to go?" Mat asked, after seeing Dragon's upset face.
"On a mini one day vacation to the one place I've always felt safe, please?We have to use the room to get there, but after that, the door to the R.O.R. will disappear until tomorrow morning. So it looks like we've spent the night there."
"Okay, but only this once since you're upset and all. So, where is this wonderful place that you're talking about?"
"A small island grandfather bought for me when he found out he was having a grandson. Before everything happened that is. Only grandfather and I know about it, he said if there was ever another fight like the last one, he'd send me there so I'd be safe." Dragon paced infront of the door of the room before opening it to reveal a living room with a picturesque view of the ocean. The sun lit the room in a warm yellow color, which hit a crystal sitting on the ledge of a window casting colors that danced around the room. The living room itself was done in different pastel colors. "I believe grandfather said that grandmother decorated the house just before her death. The bedrooms are upstairs, the kitchen is down the hallway there, the is a bathroom directly up the stairs and across the hall, as is there one rounding the corner off of the kitchen. Outside is the patio with hot tub and grill, and then there is also stairs that lead down to the beach."
"It's beautiful Dragon." Mat turned all around the living room, there were two couches and a love seat, over in the far corner was a coat rack, that had a pair of rain boots sitting beside it, the far left corner held a beautiful black baby grand piano. Through the front window you could see the wrap around porch and porch swing.
"Go ahead, look around I'll go get a house elf to get us some clothes and food for tomorrow." Dragon went off to the kitchen to see if he could track one of the house elves down. Mat shut the door, which turned into a fire place, on the mantel were pictures of Dragon's family, and beside it against the wall there was a huge T.V. and a bookshelf with a few books on it, but mostly beautiful sea shells and cups and jars of sea glass. Mat went outside for a minute to look around and when he came back, Dragon was sitting at the piano, a piece of parchment in front of him, a blank one next to him. Dragon started to play the piano, the keys appearing on the blank sheet of paper. Mat pulled a chair from the porch to prop open the door so Dragon wouldn't know he was there, he sat down and listened to Dragon singing.
"I open my eyes, I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light. I can't remember how, I can't remember why, I'm lying here tonight. And I can't stand the pain... And I can't make it go away. No I can't stand the pain... How could this happen to me? I've made my mistakes, got no where to run, the night goes on as I'm fading away. I'm sick of this life, I just wanna scream...How could this happen to me?" Dragon stopped singing for a minute to change the page and continued playing.
"Everybody's screaming, I try to make a sound but no one hears me. I'm slipping off the edge, I'm hanging by a thread, I wanna start this over again. So I try to hold, onto a time when nothing mattered, and I can't explain what happened, and I can't, erase the things that I've done... No I can't."
"How could this happen to me? I've made my mistakes, got no where to run, the night goes on as I'm fading away. I'm sick of this life, I just wanna scream...How could this happen to me?" Dragon played the piano in silence for a few minutes before continuing on, Mat was on the verge of tears hearing Dragon spill his heart out about everything that had happened to him. "I've made my mistakes, got no where to run, the night goes on as I'm fading away. I'm sick of this life, I just wanna scream how could this happen to me?" Dragon sat there for a minute, collecting the papers and putting them in a folder. "Come on, come here." Dragon said with out turning around. "I thought you were going to be out for a while." Mat walked up beside Dragon, wiping his eyes on the back of his hand. Dragon wrapped his arms around Mat, pulling him into his lap. "I love you, okay? This song wasn't about you, it has nothing to do with you. All this song is about is what's been going on with my father and me, that's it. Well, I guess it would be Crabbe, Oliver, and me. You pulled me back from the edge, you got through to me when no one else could." Dragon whispered into Mat's ear, kissing Mat's shoulder.
"I just wish I could have stopped what you went through earlier. It's not fair that you had to go through that all." Mat's voice still sounded very teary.
"Shh, come on now. It's okay, I have you now, and once we convince your parents, I'll have a child also."
"That reminds me, what should we name the baby once it's born?" Mat asked, hiccuping between each word.
"Why don't we go lay down on the beach and talk about it huh?" Mat nodded his head before getting up so Dragon could stand.

"Well, why am I finding it very hard to believe that you both spent the night in the Room of Requirement?" Harry asked, waiting in the hallway with Chastity, Severus, and Albus for Dragon and Mat.
"I have no clue why you wouldn't believe it, but obviously we did."
"So what, the room have a tanning bed, or did you happen to require one in the middle of the night?" Harry asked, looking at his newly tanned son and Mat.
"Exactly, what was I suppose to do? Go in looking all pale and lifeless?"
"Fine, keep your secrets. We must be off, you know you don't have to do this if you don't want to."
"It will help me get over it if I do. Are you going to be okay?" Dragon asked, knowing how bad Harry felt the last time he was put in a situation between Draco and Oliver.
"I have you and your siblings, I'll be great okay." Harry said, hugging Dragon.
"Hey in there, you make sure he's happy okay? We can't wait to see you when you come out. We all love you okay, and don't let whatever you hear make you think badly about Draco, he'll take great care of you." Dragon whispered to Harry's growing belly.
"That's sweet of you Drag." Chastity said, smiling and holding Cap in her arms."We better get going. Everyone touch the portkey." Chastity held out the portkey to everyone and within an instant they were standing outside the enterance hall to the Ministry of Magic. Once their wands were checked, and everyone had a name tag, they proceeded to the court room on the second floor.
"May I see him before the trial begins? Is that possible?" Dragon asked, looking between all four adults and the court room door.
"I'll see what I can do Dragon, but I can't promise anything." Albus said, walking into the courtroom before being followed by Chastity, Severus, and Harry.
"I have to stay out here, they don't want me to go in there and know what's going on. They're afriad I'll make up some random story about what happened. You can go in if you'd like, you can be my informative on what's going on." Dragon said, staring at the door willing it to be all a dream.
"I'll stay out here with you. You'll probably be the very first witness and you won't miss much anyway, plus I can tell that you need me." Mat squeezed Dragon's hand reassuringly. Both lawyers, Albus, and Draco came through the door a few moments later. Dragon gave a watery grin and ran into his father's open arms, before breaking down in tears. Draco just held his son close, running his hand down the back of Dragon's head, and kissing his forehead.
"You don't have to go through with this okay? If at any point you just want to stop you let someone know, we won't think any less of you. Everyone in there cares for you okay? They will support you." Draco picked his skinny and very light teenage son up and carried him over to the bench Mat was sitting on, placing him in his lap but hugging him just the same. "I love you, no matter what you are my son, you were the first child I had, the first child Harry and I had, and we both love you so much. None of this is your fault, nothing that happened to you is your fault okay? It is your dads and mines responsibility to take care of you and we didn't do that to well. Whatever you hear in that courtroom, don't take to heart." Dragon wrapped his arms around Draco's neck and just let himself cry over everything that happened, once he had himself under control he looked up at his father and kissing him on the cheek.
"I love you too, and I'm sorry about everything. Now go on, we have a trial to start and we can't hold everyone up because I'm being all needy. Others need you too." Dragon slid off of his father's lap and next to Mat.
"Ok then, I'll see you inside. Nice to see you again Mat."
"You too dad." Mat smiled, before continuing to reassure Dragon that everything was going to be alright.
"Everyone rise Honorable Judge Walter Sooy is about to enter the courtroom." The balif said, standing beside the judge's seat. Once Mr. Sooy was seated, along with the rest of the group that decided to show up, the media, family members, students from the local college, and the jury, the judge began to speak.
"The case of Harry James Potter versus Draconis Lucius Malfoy, is now in session, I'll hear opening statements first." The judge said, then noticed the two lawyers whispering hastitly to one another, before their voices began to rise above a whisper.
"Unmitigated liar!" Draco's lawyer, William, yelled, looking at Harry's lawyer, Samuel nastily.
"Lowdown cheat!" Samuel yelled back, neither noticing the judge had entered the courtroom.
"Now that the lawyers have identified themselves, let us proceed." Judge Sooy yelled, looking between the two lawyers. Everyone sitting around started chuckling.
"Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the courtroom,council, my client Draconis Lucius Malfoy is innocent of all charges brought up against him today. He has been nothing more then a loving husband, a caring father, and because of that he has been sent to jail not only once, but twice, each time for the same charge. Now, here's the real question, if my client was guilty, why would he have been allowed out of Azkaban and allowed to go back to teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? A school might I remind you, that holds hundred of teenagers willing and waiting to learn magic. A school where his son, his sons friends, and their other seven children live. If my client was a child abuser and child molestor, don't you think he would have taken advantage of other children beside his son? Dragon Potter-Malfoy, has claimed time and time again that his father has beat him and raped him. You will get a chance to hear from Dragon himself today about what happened when Harry would go visit his friends house, you will also get to heara special witnessesside of the story. The whole time I ask you to ask yourselves that if Dragon was getting abused and raped in that house, how come Mr. Potter himself never took notice of any of those accounts? How come he didn't question his son on various cuts and bruises? I would now like to recongnize Mr. Hausser for any remarks he may have. Thank you." William said, going back to sit next to Draco.
"Your honor, ladies and gentlemen,council, my client Harry James Potter believed he had met and married a fine and caring man. Though they had not planned on having children at the young age at which they did, Mr. Potter believed that Mr. Malfoy would be a fine and loving father, just as he did a husband. Unfortunately, those dreams would be shattered into hundred of pieces when his son first confessed to what had been going on in the house. The day of the ninth of August two thousand and five, when Dragon not only confessed to his own dad, but to his grandparents as well. Mr. James Potter and his belated wife Lily, were the first to hear Dragon's confession, and today, you will get to hear just what they hear that faithful day while coming home from a trip to Diagon Alley. Mr. Gaelstrom brought up many great questions, how come my client did not take notice of his sons condition, how come he did not question his son Dragon on the various cuts and brusies, within this courtroom you will hear first hand accounts from Mr. Potter-Malfoy himself, and from their faithful house elf Dobby on just why Mr. Potter was unaware of what was going on in his own house. He might have been away to visit a friend, but how was Mr. Potter to know what his supposedly loving husband was doing to their only child at the time? How is it that Draco has been able to confess to such crimes and then can sit here today, infront of you all, and admit that he did not lay one finger on his son harshly or inappropriately. That is what you, as jurors, are about to find out. thank you your honor." With that, Samuel sat down.
"Whose your first witness Mr. Hausser?" The Judge asked, looking straight ahead at the lawyers.
"Dragon Potter-Malfoy your honor, he's currently sitting outside." The judge waved the baliff off to go get Dragon, he walked down the aisle silently as Mat slipped into one of the seats in the front row behind Harry.
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you Merlin?"
"I do." Dragon said, placing his right hand on the wizarding version of a bible, and his right hand in the air.
"You may sit down." The baliff walked back over to his space as Harry's lawyer stood up infront of Dragon.
"Dragon, will you please tell us in your own words what you told your grandparents and dad about whathappened at Malfoy Manor while Harry was away." The lawyer asked, as kindly as he could. Everyone in the courtroom could see how nervous Dragon was sitting up there, his head bowed, and eyes resting in his lap.
"We were coming back from Diagon Alley, my sister Alyssa and I just had ice cream with my grandparents Lily and James Potter. When they said they were going to take me home, and that my parents were going to get a divorce I was afraid, and asked if I could stay with them, that I didn't want to go back. My grandma asked me what was wrong, why I didn't want to go back, and she asked if Draco had ever hit me, and at first I said no, I didn't want her to know what happened, I didn't want her to worry. Then I asked if I could stay with them until dad came back. That's when my grandpa asked me what was wrong and I told him nothing, but he didn't believe me. That's when I decided that I had to tell them, if it got me out of the house I had to, so I told them about father stabbing me in the back when I was yonger and lieing about it saying I fell down the stairs, how he threatened me. When we got home, my grandparents told father that he was lucky they weren't going to throw him in jail, after he got mad that Harry was leaving and I was going to their house. This grabbed the attention of my dad and he asked what they were talking about, when my grandma said that he abused me, father denied it. I-I told him t-to tell the truth! That he slapped me, that's how I fell down the stairs, that after it happened he told me to get up because I was p-pathetic. How I ended up calling the hospital myself and changing my voice to sound like his, and he told me that if I told anyone he would use the Craticus curse on me. The next day, Deputy Minister of Magic at the time Remus Lupin came over and he questioned me about what happened, that's when I admitted that Draco r-r-raped me." The lawyer handed Dragon a tissue and a glass of water so he could continue. "I didn't want to admit it, and I wasn't going to because I was embarrased, but then O-Oliver W-w-wood c-came in and I felt safe and confessed."
"Thank you Dragon, you're very brave for reliving all that for us. Do you mind if I asked for you to show the cut on your back where Draco stabbed you?" The lawyer asked, taking the cup from Dragon's shaking hands and placing it back on his table while Dragon stood up, turned around towards the jury and pulled his t-shirt up. Using his wand as a laser pointer, the lawyer circled the wound. "As you can see, the cut is exactly where Dragon and the medical reports located in the folders infront of you said the wound appeared. The reports confirm that the cut was made by a steak knife, it also documents the injuries Dragon recieved across his face and torso during his fall down the stairs." The lawyer sat back down while William stood up.
"Please sit Mr. Potter-Malfoy, isn't it true however, that Draco did not have anything to do with what you remember. Is it or is it not correct that your memory was modified, having been filled previously by someone else not in the courtroom today, with false memories of abuse that my client gave you as a child."
"Yes sir, that is true."
"Then how were you so certain a minute ago that Draco was the abuser and rapist?"
"Leading the witness your honor!" Samuel called from his seat.
"Denied councel go on Mr. Malfoy, answer the question."
"I was not asked if I believe it true or not, I was asked to recall what happened on the day that I confessed."
"And is it or is it not true that you spent time in Azkaban, sent there by Draco and Harry Malfoy, as a punishment for lieing about the charges brought up against Mr. Malfoy today?"
"It is true."
"Then why should we believe what you have to say about your father right now?"
"Since I'm sweared under oath, I can't lie now can I? You've made sure of that haven't you?" Dragon said, really hating the lawyer standing in front of him.
"If Draco wasn't the abuser or rapist, then you must know who is, unless the whole thing has been a lie and therefore you are starting to waste everyone's time."
"The abusers and rapists are none other then Vincent Crabbe and Oliver Wood, whom were under the effect of the polyjuice potion."
"And you saw them take this polyjuice potion?"
"Yes, many times, and each time I did they would modify my memory to make me forget it was them and make me believe it was my father."
"No further questions your honor." William said, sitting down.
"Mr. Hausser your next witness please." The Judge said, motioning to Dragon to go sit down in the crowd of people.
"I call to the stand, James Augustus Potter." After James was sworn in, the lawyer began his questioning. "How would you describe Dragon's emotional state when he was told the Mr. Potter was leaving the house and he would be in the care of his father?"
"He was shaken, petrified, scared out of his wits. I don't think there was a time where I have seen him as petrified since. "
"After the news of Harry's decision to seperate, and take the children, how did Draco react?"
"He was furious, denied everything and anything having to do with abusing or raping Dragon. He then became inibriated and tried to take Dragon away at various places, a dinner we were having with the Blacks, a Quidditch practice with Oliver, he even tried to convince Harry to let Dragon stay with him. He was very demanding."
"Thank you." Samuel said, sitting down. William stood up, looked James up and down before starting his questioning.
"Mr. Potter, isn't it true that you had tried to kill yourself in a town outside of London back in December?"
"Yes."
"That you are currently in councelling for it?"
"Yes."
"If you knew your grandson was in so much danger, especially with his father out of Azkaban and known as an abusive father, why would you leave your grandson helpless?"
"I didn't, I left him in the care of his dad."
"Yes, but does it not seem odd to you that the abuse went on for so many years, and yet your son never once figured out that Dragon was being abused? Wouldn't you as a grandfather want to look out for both your son and grandson in case something would have happened? Or did you deem Draco safe."
"At the time, I wasn't thinking clearly, I had just killed He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Name's daughter Kelly, whom I found out was my step-daughter, and other information about the past war that had a great effect on me. I was more upset with the fact that my wife sold my son and I out to the Dark Lord for a one night stand, then I was with Dragon and Harry's safety. I trust that my son will do everything in his power to protect my grandson."
"So what you are telling the court is, at the time, and probably a while afterwards, afterwards being the last time Dragon was abused by Draco this summer after coming home from a club with Prince William of Wales, and Mathew Mcguire his fiancee to be, that you were probably not in the right state of mind."
"Yes." James said, noticing how bad his behavoir had effected everything.
"Your honor, this witness' account of events must be thought of as abstract, since he has just admitted that he was not able to focus on what was going on around him, for he was caught up in his own affairs at the time."
"Substained, I'm sorry Mr. Potter for wasting your time today, but we can not go by second guesses, for all we know you could be mixing the reactions of these people with the reactions of people you met while you were under the influence."
"It's okay your honor, I really didn't expect to be called up here. Your next witness Mr. Defilano." William waited for James to get off the stand before calling up Dobby the house elf.
"You expect me to believe this house elf can account for Mr. Malfoy's where abouts?" The judge asked skeptically.
"No, far from it your honor. However, Dobby can tell you other such facts. Dobby, you are the children's nanny are you not?"
"Oh yes, Dobby is the Great Harry Potter's nanny. I watch all the children."
"That's great Dobby, have you ever seen Mr. Malfoy lay a hand on his son?"
"No sir, alls I hear is whats Dobby has hear sirs, from young Master Malfoy himself."
"Has Mr. Malfoy ever acted oddly infront of Dragon?"
"Oh no's sirs never."
"Has Mr. Potter ever been informed of the abuse?"
"No sir, master Draco always threatened master Dragon and me's about saying things."
"Did he ever threaten you personally?"
"Oh no's sir, he was always toos busy."
"Thank you Dobby." William sat down as Samuel stood up. He paced in front of Dobby for a minute before facing the scared little house elf.
"Dobby, was Dragon ever cut or bruised while Harry was at home?"
"NO! We's didn't want to upsets him sir, so we healed them rights up quick we did."
"Thank you Dobby that's all." Dobby jumped down off the bench and left the courtroom.
"Is that all the witnesses?" The judge asked, surveying the courtroom.
"No your honor, I have one more." William said, turning towards the back doors. "The court calls Oliver Wood to the stand." William said smiling, as Oliver was brought into the room by Severus Snape and a few Aurors.
"Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you Merlin?"
"I do." Oliver said, sitting down harshly on the chair. Dragon moved closer towards Mat once Oliver was called into the courtroom, Mat wrapped his arm around Dragon's waist and pulled him tightly against his side.
"Mr. Wood, is it true that you were the one that helped Mr. Potter's lawyer draw up the divorce papers for the Potter-Malfoy's?"
"Yes, I have a minor in law and helped the lawyer get what I thought was best for Harry and his family."
"And this included, but is not limited to, allowing you to chose Draconis' sentence, the classes he was to enroll in, and the amount of visitors he was allowed to see in a day, that had to be approved on a list that was run by you?"
"Yes it did."
"How come you were so controlling of Mr. Potter's life?" Oliver bit his lip knowing that he had to tell the truth, there was no way out of it, Severus had forced a mild truth serum down his throat before he had entered the courtroom.
"I was jealous of what Harry and Draco had and thought that if I could get Draconis out of the way, then I would be able to sway Harry into marrying me. Getting Draco out of the way was the impossible part, I couldn't look suspicious, his son and friends are too keen on that such stuff. I knew that one way would be the divorce papers, Harry doesn't read stuff when he's tired, so I slipped the papers onto his desk, when he went up there after a party I knew he was tired so I didn't need to worry about him reading it. He was up there about two hours before he came back down, said he signed them and sent them to Azkaban for Draco to sign. Well, I visited Draco every day after that, threatening that if he didn't follow along I would kill Harry and his children. So Draco signed the papers, but I still had to keep him quiet, so I came back everyday telling him what a good fuck his husband was for the past four months, before Draco confessed to doing it, and how Harry is now bearing my child, not his. How good it felt to beat and fuck his son for three months before his arrest, and how Vincet got in on the action too."
"Three months? Where was Draco at the time?" The lawyer asked, obviously overjoyed that Oliver was confessing.
"Locked up and unconsious at Crabbe manor. We knew we had to keep him alive for the Polyjuice potion. Once Draco we were able to Imperious Dragon to confess about his father, I knew that Harry would come running to me, so Vince took over as Draco."
"That will be all your honor."
"Mr. Haussen anything you'd like to ask?"
"Yes just one question. How is it then, that Draco ended up pregnant with their youngest son Rupert? If you were impersonating Draco, wouldn't one of you be the ones pregnant?"
"While I was in Azkaban for slipping Harry a pregnancy potion, Vince put Draco under the Imperious curse and sent him home. I guess Vince seduced Harry through Draco and Harry andDraco screwed. How am I suppose to know? I was in Azkaban, all I know is that Harry found a bunch of stuff that was off about him, missing pieces of time and stuff and went to getDraco to confess, well Vince gave Draco the antidote before hand and used the Imperious curse to have him confess."
"The missing time Harry was experiencing, do you know if Draco had anything to do with that?"
"Of course not! Harry is impervious to the Imperious curse. We had to use a mixture of the Oblivation charm and the Imperious curse called the Obperious, it blocks out time and let's you control someone. When you take it off, they go back to normal and don't even know they are cursed, obviously Harry has grown a resistance to this also."
"Thank you, no more questions your honor."Sameul said, sitting back down next to Harry.
"Court is adjourned for a lunch break, everyone should be back here in an hour." Judge Sooy said, banging his javel down on his desk. Oliver was escorted out of the room by the same group that brought him in and put into a small holding cell with two Azkaban guards before everyone was allowed to leave the room.
"Dad, is it okay if Mat and I go and eat lunch with father?" Dragon asked, tapping Harry on the shoulder. Harry looked over at Draco's upset face before turning back to his son.
"That would be a great idea. Maybe you can cheer him up a little he looks a little down." Dragon kissed his dad's cheek before leading Mat over towards Draco.
"That's really nice of you Harry, so wanna come spend lunch with Severus and Cap and me? We can talk things over, figure out where you and the kids will go from here." Harry nodded his head, and went with Cap and Chastity to find Severus.
