Assault and Battery of one Hermione Jean Granger
Five counts of rape of one Hermione Jean Granger
Five counts of sodomy of one Hermione Jean Granger
Five counts of sodomy of one Ginevra Molly Weasley
One count of casting the Unforgiveable Crucio on Heir of House Crabbe
One count of casting the Unforgiveable Crucio on Heir of House Goyle
One count of casting the Unforgiveable Crucio on member of House Weasley
One count of attempting to cast the Unforgiveable Crucio on Heir of House Malfoy
One count of casting the Unforgiveable Killing curse on one Luna Selene Lovegood
The charges of rape against Ginevra Molly Weasley were dropped due to the existing marriage contract and resulting pregnancy.
Sentencing arguments will be heard tomorrow in a special session of the Wizengamot.
