Chapter 2
Harry found himself in the Ministry of Magic, at his unfortunate trial. Glancing around, he noted that he was facing the full Wizengamot, and that a certain Chief Muguwump did not look friendly. Quite frankly, he looked... Gleeful.
"Did you, Mr Harry Potter, kill one Thomas Marvolo Riddle at 6:15 this evening?" Amelia Bones asked him, her monocle bouncing as she spoke.
"N-No? "
