Chapter XXXII: Lovegood Ligitimized

The Wizengamot was thoroghly stunned by Luna's sudden appearance, as she entered with Ginny chained up as tightly as ribbon around a present. Draco turned to see them both enter, his own movements constricted by chains of Ministry origin. Kingsley stood imperially at the front of the sea of red clad wizards, motioning Luna forward.

"Members of the Wizengamot, please excuse my late arrival. I have due cause for it being so, and I entreat you to hear my story." Has

A bald headed wizard scoffed, his face resembled raisin bread, blackened and wrinkled. "Simply unprofessional." He stated, before he was silenced by Kingsley.

"You may proceed," Kingsley stated, sitting down slowly, before he motioned for two Aurors to take Ginny off Luna's hands.

"I am greatly appreciative." Luna said, and so began her tale. She wove the story like a master seamstress, words flowing from her mouth like Phoenix Song, empowering the air and making it electrified by her revelations. She told them all of how she came to be imprisoned by Ginny, and how also Ginny confessed to her crimes.

Kingsley nodded once she had finished speaking, and h elooked to Ginny. All around the court room peoples' heads were turning to look at Ginny, the daughter of a pure-blood family, one who had done so wrong. "Ms. Weasley, do you agree that Ms. Lovegoods' tale was a true account of your actions?"

Ginny had lowered her head, her face covered by her red hair, perhaps to cover up the tears that had sprung into being in her eyes. Try though she might, she couldn't hide the tears from her words. "Minister, I attest that the account is true."
There was a smattering of chatter about the room, pointings and grave stares were all the rage.
"Minister, if I may make an addition to the testimony." Luna said, she stepped forwards purposefully.

"As you wish," Kingsley said, he and the others waited for her to speak.

"It is my belief that Ginny has been under a great deal of stress. Notwithstanding that she has committed atrocities that go against the very basic foundations of our society, I believe that she 

too is a victim. She had recently divorced Harry Potter, and on top of all of that, she has been greatly affected by…" Luna was interrputed.

"Do not dare try to pass this off on some obscurely false creature, daughter of Xenophil…" the raisin faced man began again, but he was cut across by Kingsley.

"Dillonsby, speak out of turn again and I will have you removed from this trial." Kingsley shouted, Dillonsby shrank back as though the sun had roasted him into hiding.

"I apologize, Ms. Lovegood, please continue." Kingsley waved her on.

"Thank you sir, as I was stating. Ginny Weasley, has suffered a great deal recently. It is known that while she attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry she was at one point, posessed by the Dark Wizard known as Lord Voldemort," half the Wizengamot cringed, she thought it quite amusing. So this is what Harry feels like.She smiled inwardly. " After her release from said posession, she never received proper treatment. It fell to the Ministry of Magic to provide her with treatment as she was a victim of war, yes- war," she stated, as she noticed Dillonsby giving her a disbelieving stare. "She was a victim of Voldemort, and she had confided in me years ago, as we had been friends at the time, that her father had put in a request to have her treated by Saint Mungo's. However, Cornelius Oswald Fudge denied Mr. Weasleys claim, declaring that it was folly- that Lord Voldemort could not possibly have posessed the girl as he was dead. "

Luna had the fullest attention of all present now, Draco stared at her intently. "Therefore, by reason of this treatment, she had developed a superiorty complex as well as a severe case of selfishness. She wanted everything she saw, everything that she couldn't have she wanted. There was a bit of Lord Voldemort still within her, his deepest desires for control lingered in her subconscious. Had it been dealt with at the time, all of this tragedy might have been avoided. Therefore, I suggest that she not be imprisoned in Azkaban, as many of you are now thinking she should be." She turned, and began to pace faster, intensity building within her, this is almost as good as foreplay! She thought, wondering how long it would be before she got to see Harry again, representation was really trying work.

"Yes, I believe that she should finally have emotional rehabilitation and mental therapy, to be administered until such a time as she is at her fullest competency, at which point she should serve a sentence of public work- to fully make atonement for her grievances. Ladies and gentlemen of the Wizengamot, I leave this at your feet now, rule as you may." Luna took her seat next to Draco, who looked at her as if he had never seen her properly before.

"God, that was effing brilliant, Lovegood. I had always wondered why you were Ravenclaw, now I know for sure!" he whispered in her ear, she smiled.



There was a long period of deliberation on the side of the Wizengamot, Ginny was held at wand point by two Aurors, not daring to take their eyes off of her. Ginny was still sobbing, Luna could see that much. She did hope that she would be treated properly.

Kingsley led the members of his Wizengamot back to their seats, and he remained standing as he motioned for the assembly to stand. "We have ruled in the following manner, and thus it shall be. Ginny Weasley, you are to be administered to by the staff of Saint Mungo's until such a time as we decide that you are mentally healthy. From that point you shall serve two years under the care of emotional rehabiliation, so that you can attain a level of control over your emotions. We deeply apologize for the degradation that you have endured under the fault of Minister Fudge. Mr. Malfoy, we apologize to you as well, offering our completest condolensces as a great deal of the blame falls on us.
"Furthermore, Ms. Weasley, upon completion of your program, any time with your children must be monitored by licensed Aurors until they have all reached the age of seventeen. That is our

ruling. Trial dismissed." So it was that the Wizengamot exited, soon followed by Ginny and her pair of Aurors.

Scorpius met Luna and Draco outside the courtroom doors, and he leapt into his fathers waiting arms, tears rolling down his cheeks as he hugged Draco tightly. "I love you son, Merlin, but I love you so." Draco wept, as he patted his son's blonde hair. Luna smiled, knowing within her that she had reunited a family that might have been ruined, had it not been for her.
Draco turned, and enveloped Luna in a tight hug, his words failing him as he clutched the blonde tightly. "Luna, how can I ever repay you?" Draco breathed heavily, before placing a kiss on Luna's cheek, she laughed a bit.

"You can repay me by your thanks," Luna began, "as well as the chain." She smiled brilliantly, as remaining members of the Wizengamot filed past them.

"Of course," Draco said, sitting his son down and taking his hand." He motioned for her to follow him outside.

"Just a moment, if you please, Draco- I need to send an Owl to Harry first, let him know of my safety."

Luna found her own way up the elevators and into Hermiones' office, which was occupied by Hermione Granger herself, Corbin at her side.

"Hello, 'Mione," Luna said genially. "Might I use your quill?" Luna asked, as she stepped into the office where Corbin was breathing quite heavily, his shirt slightly ruffled. Luna smiled knowingly.

"Luna, Of course you may." Hermione sighed,pulling a stray hair from her robes. She handed her the quill, her cheeks were red.



Luna wrote a quick note to Harry, conveying a quick record of what had transpired, and at the end, signed Luna. She rolled the parchment and placed it around the ankle of Hermione's owl, who took off immediately after receiving Luna's instructions.

"Luna, I heard of your accomplishment, my congratulations. Dillonsby was present as well, he is usually a tough competitor. Well done." Hermione inclined her head, a smile on her face.

"Well, thank you very much. It was quite exhilirating, as I'm sure your affair has been up until this point." Corbin and Hermione looked startled.

"It's not an affair…" Hermione began, undone by Luna's words, she fumbled at her robes.

"You're quite right about that, but it is also not right to engage in activities with a partner unless your husband is around. I completely accept threesome's and the like, orgies as well if one is so lucky. However, without Ronald being here, I must say you really shouldn't be fooling around with your friend here. You do have an example to set you know." Luna said, as she turned to leave, a red faced Corbin stared at her dumbfoundedly.

"Yes, well, thank you for those words. Enjoy fucking Harry tonight, let us know if you ever want to have one of those orgies." Hermione said.

"I sure will. " Luna said, doubting very much that she would ever feel the desire to be with Hermione.

She met up with Draco at the fireplaces in the Atrium of the Ministry, and with a flash of fire they flooed over to Malfoy Manor, a debt to be repaid.
