This was it. Today was the date for another trial. When I brought Lord robes I didn't think they would be used this often till I at least got to second year, if I get to second year at this rate. Oh well, you get proved wrong everyday and today is just my day. How knows who's day it's going to be tomorrow? I open my eyes and escape my completely weird brain. I'm lying on a hospital bed, though nothing is wrong with me, and I have a beautiful girl in my arms, also asleep, I should be the happiest bloke in the world but I'm not. Yesterday hits me in the face. Twenty three girls and god only knows how more.
I gently ease my arms from around Daphne. I need to get dressed and I don't think she targeting me in my underpants anytime soon. Going over to the bedside table I pull out my clothes and spell them on. It's quite early and the infirmary is full. I decide to go offer my help to Madam Pomprey. I leave a small note for Daphne and head for the healers office. Knocking on the door I wait patiently. After a minute I hear a small come in. " Good morning Madam. I was wondering if I could offer my assistance. The infirmary is full and you are only one person. I'm sure you could handle it but I was just wondering." I say as politely as possible. She smiles at me. But she shakes her head. I was going to ask when but she demonstrated. She clicked her fingers and several house elfs carrying trays of breakfast appeared. I wanted to slap myself for forgetting. I nodded and went back to Daphne.
She was awake and she had read my note. She smiled at me when I came through. I went over to the draw and pulled out her clothes. Once they were laid out on the bed a house elf brought breakfast in. I let Daphne eat. My stomach just wouldn't be able to take it. Anticipation.
While she ate I went to see Tracy. Like me Mrs Davis had stayed the night but on a bed that had been conjured, probably Madam Pomprey. Tracy was awake. She was eating. Mrs Davis was sorting out Tracy's clothes. I felt a little sorry for Mrs Davis. Because of a law passed in 1892 muggles were not allowed in the ministry unless they were witnesses, committed a crime against a wizard or had seen magic and needed to be obliviated. Mrs Davis fit into none of these categories and because ofnit she couldn't see the trial of her daughters rapist. I would be taking Tracy to court. I was hoping that once we got to know each other better that I could take her under the protections of one of my houses to keep her safe. I don't know what it is but something about her, just like Daphne, compels me to protect this girl. I smiled at both woman and told them to call me once Tracy was ready then taking Mrs Davis to one side I promised her I would protect her daughter. She smiled warmly at me and thank me. I shook my head and went back to Daphne.
She had finished eating and had gotten herself dressed. She was sitting in an arm chair reading the newspaper. The owl was waiting to be paided. I walked over and slipped it a few knuts and a piece of bacon. It hooted, hopefully in thanks, and flew out the window. I heard my name. Turning around I saw Tracy standing by Daphnes bed. She was ready. She gave her mum a hug and then we all walked over to the floo. Daphne went first, Tracy followed. Once they were both gone I went over to the doors of the infirmary. The fifteen girls had been told to be ready and here by nine o'clock. I opened the doors and meet thirty eyes. Some were watery while others were trying to gather all the courage they had left. I gestured and they all followed me over to he floo. They each went through and once the last girl was gone I followed.
The girls were standing with Amelia. She smiled when she spotted me. They had been waiting. Amelia turned on her heel and moved towards the elevators. courtroom ten here we come.
I took a seat in the witness area. Because I was going to be giving evidence I could not take any of my seats because of biased voting. I understood and didn't try to bribe Fudge like so many before me had done already. In an hour we would have to do this all again for Dumbledores trial. I accepted that. Snape was brought in. He sneered at everyone but his eyes spelt fear when he noticed just how many were going to testify. It was a small victory but he was afraid and he had reason to be. One by one these girl were going to take him to pieces.
The first girl was called to the stand. She was a seventh year pureblood. Her parents had seats on the wizagamot. She explained that Snape had begun targeting her in third year. He would tell her to come to his rooms for a talk and it would happen. The first time she had been in trouble. He told her that if she didn't fight everything would be alright.s she was confused because she was not in trouble for fighting. She found out when he pinned her to the desk. She explained that after that it happened again on twenty different occasions. She didn't speak out because he said he would kill her family. She believed she was the only one.
After four more similar story's Tracy was called. She explained that Dumbledore had sent her a note to come to his rooms. When she got there he was talking to Granger. He asked her to wait in the back room and he would call her when finished. She thought it was strange but didn't argue. She went into the room. It was dark. She was about to cast a lumos when the door shut, the lights went on and a hand was placed over her mouth. She heard a silenco cast on her then she was pushed on to a bed. She saw Snape. He started tugging at her clothes. Pulling them all off. He raped her four times before I found her.
After all the girls were finished I went up. Daphne was not being questioned. she was here for Dumbledores trial and to give Tracy female support. I explained the letter and the photo I had gotten. I then explained going to the slytherin dorms and levitating myself to the top. I heard a few gasps of surprise. A few men were clearly jealous for not thinking of it. I explained freezing the school, More gasps of surprise, Writing the letters and using a dna tracking charm on Daphne. I explained that it had told me that she was in the headmasters office. I told them that I had called Scarlet then told her to take me to the entrance hall and that Amelia appeared with twenty Aurors. I mentioned Mrs Greengrass's comment. After taking a few deep breaths I explained everything that I had seen once I entered the headmasters room.
Fudge was about to give his verdict when the door was pushed opened. A young brunette came in. On her hip was a toddler. This toddler had ink black hair and black eyes. There was gasps of shock from everyone. "I'm here because that man (pointed at snape) ruined my life." She announced. She walked over to Amelia. She quietly asked a question that nobody overheard. Amelia nodded and the girl took the witness box. She set the toddler on her lap.
She explained every thing. From first year till a month after graduating Snape had not left her every two weeks she was called to him. She said that two weeks after he left her alone she started to thrown up. Her parents demand she tell hem but she couldn't. Snape had made her take a oath at wand point. When she wouldn't tell them they kicked her out. The baby, Robert David Knight, was born over two years ago. The oath was now broken and she could come forward.
She took a seat in the witness bit.
Snape was then given vertisirium.
