September 1966

Narcissa couldn't find her older sisters anywhere. Each car she stuck her head in was met by curious and sometimes rude students as she introduced herself and asked if they have seen her sisters. The train journey was far too long in Narcissa's opinion she just wanted to get to Hogwarts and learn all the amazing subjects that Andromeda fondly spoke about.

The blonde first year made her way into the ladies room at the back of the train.

"Please."

Narcissa slowly crept her way into the large room, careful not to make her presence known.

"Please Trixie."

Upon hearing Andromeda's desperate plea she noticed that the only stool occupied was closed, creeping into the cubicle on the left, grimacing as she pulled herself up on the toilet seat, standing on tiptoes to peer over the thin barrier separating the cubicles to see the older girls in a peculiar position.

Andromeda sat naked on the toilet while Bellatrix naked as well was on her knees between her sister's milky thighs.

"Beg me Dromeda" Bellatrix huskily whispered, licking her lips in lust. "Tell me what you want".

Andromeda glared playfully at Bella. "Please Trixie... fuck me".

Bellatrix grinned prying her sister's thighs further open, placing the leg over her shoulder before moving her mouth to the enticing wet lips on display.

Narcissa gasped at Andromeda's wanton cries, slipping off the toilet and landing hard on the floor.

"Looks like we have company again sister" Bellatrix smiled seductively, her long fingers thrusting into the tight channel.

Present day

Hermione shot awake struggling to right herself from her awkward position on the couch. She tried to steady her heart as the erotic dream of the three Black sisters remained clear in her mind. Why on earth am I dreaming of them doing such... no I'm not a perv. The clock on the mantel announced 10pm, she slept for 5 hours straight without a nightmare inside Malfoy manor.

Stretching her aching muscles, Hermione caught glimpse of a note scribbled on Lucius desk.

Didn't want to wake you, you seemed to be sleeping peacefully for a change. May I suggest a room next time. Stay as long as you need. Winky is at your service. L.M.

Nodding her gratitude at the note, Hermione decided to delve straight back into her forgotten memories.

"Trail of Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy nee Black and Draco Malfoy. If the prisoners will rise as I read out the charges." The metal cuffs clanged together as the family stood.

Hermione gritted her teeth at the inhumane treatment of the pureblooded trio.

"Lucius Malfoy you are charged with aiding and abetting a known criminal Tom Marvolo Riddle, bearing the dark mark, breaking out of azkaban, torture and murder of muggles and the capture and torture of Hermione Granger."

Hermione bit her cheek at the last charge, screwing her hands into fists, her nails biting into her palms.

"Narcissa Malfoy you are charged with," Amelia bones raised her brow, "opening your home to a known criminal Tom Marvolo Riddle and Bellatrix Lestrange and the capture and torture of Hermione Granger." H

Hermione went to stand but a firm hand clasped her shoulder keeping her rooted to the bench.

"Draco Malfoy you are charged with bearing the dark mark, attempted murder of Albus Dumbledore and leading death eaters in Hogwarts and the capture and torture of Hermione Granger." Draco turned to look at Hermione the terror evident on his pale bruised face that wasn't there after the battle ended. Her heart went out to her former nenemis.

"How does the accused plea?" Amelia bones called out.

Hermione managed to stand up this time shaking off the offending hand. "This is utter bull." All eyes turned in surprise to her outburst.

"She is right. Throw the scum in azkaban" someone shouted out from the back, completely missing Hermione's point.

"Kill the scum" another yelled

"Death to the Death eaters."

"Burn them."

"Torture them like they did their victims."

Draco was shaking so badly that his chains clattered about, fear drowning him. Narcissa's cold mask slipped as she tried desperately to hold her son and protect him from the devastating cries and Lucius looked ready to faint, his face badly bruised as well. Fury burned in Hermione's veins.

Complete chaos took control of the room, the Aurors jumping in to stop the escalation. "Silence. The next person to speak will be arrested" Amelia bones shouted, slamming her gravel on the wood.

Hermione was the last person standing, refusing to bow down to the Wizengamot and its sham of a trial. Two of the Aurors noticed and went to grab her but Harry pushed her towards the Malfoys and the Wizengamot. "Save them Hermione" he whispered, raising his wand towards the advancing Aurors.

"Miss Granger what is the meaning of this?" Amelia tensed at Hermiones wand. "You will get justice but a trial has to take place".

Hermiones eyes flashed dangerously. "Justice. You call this bloody justice" her voice rising, her wand waving over the beaten blondes. "This is inhumane, they are human beings. This isn't justice this is cold hearted revenge, you are using the Malfoys as scapegoats. The charges are bloody ridiculous. How does one aid and abet Tom Riddle? You either bowed to the fool or died beneath his wand." She turned to the Malfoys, her eyes catching the most stunning blue she had ever seen. "Draco was a minor when he was forced to take the mark as part of his father's punishment and to protect his mother from death. Dumbledore forced Snape to take a unbreakable vow to kill the headmaster so Draco wouldn't corrupt his soul by murder, the old man was dying from a cruel curse inflicted on him by Tom Riddle. Draco was just a boy forced to play a man's game" Hermione couldn't peel her eyes away from the intense blue. "Bellatrix tortured me and she's dead. The Malfoys are not to blame for it and I forgive them." Turning back to the Wizengamot "And so should you".

Screams of fury erupted from the crowd when Hermione passionately finished her defence. Harry stood behind her casting the shield charm over the defenceless Malfoys just as bright colours crashed into his barrier.

Hermione felt her body reacting before her mind could catch up, as the green sickly death curse came straight for Draco, jumping in front of the family she conjured up the most powerful shield she could, hearing her friend scream, she closed her eyes as the killing curse smashed against the barrier.

"Stupefy" Hermione screamed at the fool that tried to kill an unarmed and bound wizard. Spinning angrily on her heel, fury melting through her eyes, glaring at the Wizengamot that didn't do a thing to protect the defenceless prisoners from the curses. Magically enhancing her voice to be heard over the enraged crowd.

"Don't you see, this is what we fought for. We fought for a better world where everyone is treated equally. This is the new world order, stop your petty vendetta. If it wasn't for Narcissa lying to Voldemort about Harry's death we would all be dead. I plead with you all to look into your hearts and forgive them otherwise the next war you will not win".

Silence covered the courtroom. Shame and guilt appeared on the faces closest to her. Amelia bones stared at the remarkable witch in front of her. "Raise your hands for the pardon of the Malfoy family." Looking at her colleagues.

"It takes true courage to stand up for your once enemies. Thank you Miss Granger for making me understand" Amelia spoke to the muggleborn.

Hermione was shocked at every hand of the Wizengamot raised in favour.

Hermione was thrown out the memory, her hand resting on her chest as her heart pounded frantically in her chest. I helped save them why would I want to forget that?.
