Chapter 28:

Draco's Trial

The following morning Hermione woke up early, for the first time she knew her life no longer revolved around Voldermort or Horcrux's. Yet her fight wasn't over. She headed to Narcissa's room. She was still asleep. Hermione showered and changed. She had the Cure of the Souls in her hand as she entered Narcissa's room. She was stirring. Hermione opened the curtains slowly.

Narcissa looked at Hermione wide eyed.

"Where's Draco?" She demanded.

"He's out right now," Hermione lied. "He wanted you to drink this when you wake up." Hermione handed her the potion.

Narcissa examined it. Hermione thought she might throw it against the wall but Narcissa slowly opened the cap and drank it in one go.

Hermione had the antidote in her hand if anything went wrong. Narcissa's body glowed bright white for a minute, then dark smoke left her body.

Narcissa looked at Hermione, "Where am I? What was that?"

"Mrs Malfoy I don't know how much you remember but I just gave you a cure of the souls potion," Hermione said.

"I know I was meant to be at the hospital," Narcissa said slowly. "I know I was on a lot of medication. I know why I was in hospital…where is Draco?"

"He will be on trial today," Hermione replied.

"He was forced to be a death eater because of me," Narcissa said slowly, tears falling down her cheek. "He'll go to Azkaban…my son…"

"He won't be going to Azkaban not if I can help it," Hermione said resiliently.

"How?" Narcissa asked. "And who are you?"

"Hermione Granger," she replied. "I came to visit you once as…"

"As the red head," Narcissa nodded. "I remember you coming but I don't remember why you were there or if we talked or…How are you going to save my son? And why?"

"I love him," Hermione replied, the shock was evident on Narcissa's face. "And I will do what it takes to prove his innocence."

Narcissa got up, "I need to be at the trial…"

"No you need to rest. The potion won't work if you don't rest."

"But Draco…"

"I will free him," Hermione replied. "I won't loose him!"

Narcissa sat back on the bed, "Ok. Bring my son back to me."

Hermione smiled and left the room. Ginny flooed in.

"What you doing here?" Hermione hugged her best friend.

"Well I thought you might need someone to look after Narcissa, while you go to the trial," Ginny replied.

Hermione was in tears again, "Gin…"

"Its ok," Ginny hugged her.

"Thank you," Hermione whispered.

"What are friends for?" Ginny smiled pulling back.

"I better go, I need to get the paperwork prepared and get ready for the trial," Hermione smiled before leaving.

Her mind was all over the place. People today were happier then they were yesterday. She was hugged by people she knew, some of those who saw Draco stand up for her just looked at her. The looks she got were confusing, but she didn't care. She entered her office, bracing herself. The trial was half an hour away. Draco's was to be the first trial of the day and he would take the stand at 3pm. It was 2.30, Hermione knew the Ministry would be doing the talking. She chose to miss that. She entered the courtroom at ten minutes to 3. Harry as the Minister was in the Centre with George Blanks, head of defence on the right and Leela Kambrota, deputy Minister.

Hermione took her seat.

"The first death eater to be triad today is Draco Lucius Malfoy," the speaker of the courtroom Helena Clerata said. "Draco Lucius Malfoy was the most highly ranked death eater. He is being charged with countless murders, tortures and being a known death eater. Life imprisonment."

Draco was led into the courtroom in front of the Minister and the others. He looked pale and tired, still in his death eater robes, except his left hand was not covered. His mark was shown.

"Is there any one who will stand up for Draco Lucius Malfoy?" Helena asked. "Is there anyone who believes he is innocent?"

"I will speak for him," Hermione stood up.

People gasped and looked at her in shock.

"Y…you will?" Helena couldn't hide her own shock.

"Why?" George Blanks asked.

"Because I believe he had no choice but to be a death eater," Hermione replied.

"You believe? Did he tell you?" Blanks questioned.

"Yes," Hermione said.

"He must have lied," Blanks replied.

"Then give him Veritaserum," Hermione challenged. "You cannot send him to Azkaban without a fair trial."

"We can, we believe he has killed too many to be freed," Blanks argued.

Hermione knew she was fighting a losing battle but she wouldn't give up, "Draco Malfoy is more then just a death eater to me. I love him. He would not lie to me. Yes he killed but he had a reason, if you won't let me explain that reason then why have a trial?"

"You are merely an auror and you claim to be in love with him?" Blanks asked. He turned to face her. "Who are you?"

"Hermione Granger," She replied.

Draco's eyes tried to find her but he couldn't see her. There was a spell on him. He could only see the three on the bench.

"Granger?" Blanks was shocked.

"I will speak for him as well," Harry said as he saw Draco's face light up when he heard Hermione's name.

Blanks turned to him. "You what?"

"Mr Malfoy saved Hermione Granger's life, taking a curse for her. He agreed to be my second. He then got the light back when he realised what the wands were doing. Mr Malfoy is not evil. He fought for Voldermort to protect his mother who Voldermort held hostage," Harry said.

Draco was shocked.

"Your going to free him?" Leela asked.

"Draco Malfoy will be freed on my accord, any one wishes to argue then speak now!" Harry's voice was loud and deadly. He was daring someone to stand up to him.

"Good," Harry replied. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, you are cleared of all charges. You are free to go."

"Fine," Blanks sighed. He looked at the guards, "Take him outside and make him sign the release forms. We are adjourned until the next case?"

Harry nodded as everyone got up to leave.

Hermione was beaming. She ran out of the room and waited outside, Harry was there before Draco.

"Thank you Harry," Hermione hugged him. "But why?"

"I saw the way his face lit up when he heard your name. He loves you, and what I said was true, he did help in the end," Harry smiled.

Hermione grinned as she waited for Draco. It took half an hour before Draco was released. He walked down the hallway with the same arrogance he always had and Hermione loved it. When she saw him, her heart skipped a beat. It was like there was no one else around her as she walked up to him. Draco was smiling, his eyes locked on to the brown eyes of Hermione's. When she was close enough he grabbed her waist and pulled her into him. He kissed her heatedly, with all he had. He didn't care that the guards were watching. He didn't care that the people re-entering the court were watching in shock. He was holding the woman he loved, and that was all that mattered.

She slowly pulled back, still holding him, "Your free," she whispered.

"Thanks to you," he replied in the same low voice she used.

"No, to Harry," Hermione corrected, she held his hand and led him down the hallway. Harry smiled at the couple.

"Thank you Potter," Draco extended his hand.

"Take care of her," Harry said as he shook his hand.

"So your ok with this?" Hermione asked.

"I am but I don't think Ron is, so be careful," Harry smiled. "I better get back in there."

"Thanks again Harry," Hermione kissed his cheek and let him go.

Draco smirked once he was gone, "I'm free."

"Yes you are," Hermione hugged him. "Your free."

"And I'm holding the girl I love. Can this day get any better?" Draco asked.

Hermione blushed, "Yea it can. Your mum…"

Draco looked at her, "Is she ok?"

"I gave her the potion. She's better. She wants her son." Hermione smiled.

Hermione could see Draco fighting to keep his tears back. She had never seen him like this. Her insides felt weak as she saw him so happy. He hugged her tightly wondering why he had never noticed her before. Hermione led him out of the Ministry, there were photographers there taking their photos as Hermione apparated the couple to her living room. She saw Narcissa and Ginny sitting there drinking tea. Narcissa's back was to them. Ginny looked up at them and smiled. Narcissa turned around, she was beaming as she put her mug down and ran to hug Draco.

"Oh Draco," Narcissa was crying and holding onto her son tightly.

"Mum, I can't breathe," Draco said, overwhelmed with the emotion but trying to hide it.

"Sorry," Narcissa pulled back. "This is the first time…first time I can see my son without the medicine, I can't…Draco." She talked incoherently through the tears.

"Mum its ok, I'm here now," Draco smirked the famous smirk. "And I'm not planning to go anywhere."

Narcissa kissed his cheek before turning to Hermione, "Thank you."

"Anytime," Hermione blushed.

Ginny stood up, "Ok, enough emotions! Narcissa I'll pop over again and we can finish our conversation. Draco, glad your out and Hermione," Ginny grabbed her stomach. "I have to go know, the baby wants daddy."

Hermione smiled, "Thank you for staying here."

Ginny smiled.

"Bye Ginny," Narcissa smiled.

Ginny waved as she flooed back to her house.

"Right so we should go home," Draco started.

"Um you can't," Hermione replied. "Sorry but the Ministry has to do a full check tonight, you can go tomorrow. Your staying here tonight."

"Do I not get a choice?" Draco grinned.

"No Draco, you don't," Hermione grinned as he kissed her lightly.

Narcissa smiled at the couple, "I wish I could have been here when your relationship started."

Draco looked at his mother as they all sat down on the sofas, "Mum, can I ask you something?" Narcissa nodded. "Did he mix up your medicine?"

Narcissa sighed, "I don't know. At one point I thought I was getting better, and then the next day my medicine was doubled."

Draco clenched his teeth.

"He's gone know," Narcissa said softly, "I'm normal again."

Draco smiled.

Narcissa used her wand and conjured a bottle of champagne and three glasses, "Here's to a happy future."

Draco and Hermione raised their glasses.
