Chapter 11:

Draco felt himself shaking as he sat in the court room. He wanted Dumbledore put away for taking his family away from him, and he was sure that Harry felt the same way. He sat comfortably with Harry's arm draped around him for comfort. He couldn't believe that Harry finally knew everything and seemed to be taking it fairly well.

"Alright everyone please settle down and take your seats." Draco looked up and saw the Judge's sitting down along with everyone else that was talking within the small court room.

"We are gathered here today to determine the guilt or innocence of one Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. He is being charged with Kidnapping and Child endangerment of James Potter and Harry Potter. How does he plead." The one judge looked over to Dumbledore and he replied with a not-guilty.

"We call James Potter up to the front to be questioned under Veritaserum." Draco watched as his father walked to the seat in front of the judges. Draco started to wring his hands together, becoming very nervous. He felt Harry place his free hand over his and squeeze gently, reassuring him.

"Please state your name." The judge stated

"James Charles Potter"

"What do you recall happened to you in the events in question?" The judge asked

"On the night I was declared dead I was in face taken prisoner by Albus Dumbledore. I was taken to somewhere dark, like a dungeon, I don't really know where. Harry was taken along with me but later taken away and I never knew where. I was later brought to some cottage in the country, under heavy charms and wards. Food and other things would appear when I needed them. I didn't leave the place all these years until Remus and Severus came and found me." James replied.

"Do you know why Dumbledore would do this?"

"He told me when I was still a student that he found a prophecy stating a son a bore would turn everyone against him. He used to punish me for not doing as I was told in school and even went as far as to try and marry me off with Lily Evans because she could not bare children."

"If she could not bare children then how did Harry come about?" The judge asked.

"First I would like to state that Harry is not my son. He is not a Potter. My son is known as Draco Malfoy. Dumbledore grabbed Harry that night because he was close to me at the time and he did look an awful lot like me, more so than Draco did. I became pregnant with Draco by my lover, Remus Lupin." James held his head high and smiled over to Remus then to Draco.

Draco felt himself smile at his dad and leaned his head over on Harry's shoulder. He hoped this would go by quickly but he knew it wouldn't.

"Who is the parents of Harry Potter if this is true?" Draco could see James trying to fight the truth serum, even going as far as putting his hand over his mouth and shaking his head.

"Why will you not answer the question?" James let his mouth go and breath a sigh of relief.

"It is not my place to say. If the parents or Harry himself would like you to know they can tell you." James smirked.

"Fine. I think that is all we need to hear from you. Will Harry Potter come to the stand now." The judge said looking at Harry s he gave a small kiss to Draco's head before going to the chair.

"Now Harry before we give you the serum, would you like to tell us who your parents are?" Harry looked out over the crowd and Draco saw Severus nod and then Sirius from the other side.

"Severus Snape and Sirius Black are my fathers." Harry stated proudly with a bold smile. There was several gasps and whispers going around the room now. Draco couldn't help but smirk.

"I will ask this question again once you have the serum, here take it." Harry downed the vial and looked the judge right in the eyes, awaiting the question again. "Now who are your parents?"

"Severus Snape and Sirius Black. Do I have to say it again?" Draco covered his mouth, he really wanted to laugh and Harry wasn't helping any.

"Where did Dumbledore place you after taking you away?" The judge finally moved on once the court room settle down for the other news.

"I was sent to who I thought were my Aunt and Unlce. I was told later on that they were my mother, Lily Evans, relative."

"So you grew up thinking that Lily Evans and James Potter were your parents? Who told you this?"

"At first it was my Aunt and Uncle. They would beat me every time I would ask anything about my past. Before I came to school I was picked up at the house by Albus Dumbledore and brought to the Weasely's. He told me that Ron would be an excellent friend to have before I went to school, that they could teach me who I should and shouldn't hang out with."

"When did you find out that Mr. Snape and Mr. Black were your fathers?"

"Just recently. Before that I hated Snape and Sirius I thought was only my God-Father." Harry looked like he was slightly upset about this.

"How do you feel about it all now?"

"I feel like I was torn away from my dad. I have recently seen memories from his past as well as my own. I was a happy child with him and then I was thrown into a very abusive family, beaten and made a slave, among other things. I am grateful that I have two fathers alive and well and who are willing to let me get to know them as such." Harry was beaming by this time, you could tell his life really was changing.

"Who do you see is responsible for all of this wrong doing to yourself?"

"Albus Dumbledore of course." Harry stated with anger in his features.

"Why is that?"

"He tore me away from my loving father just because he thought I was someone else's son. He placed me with people that I wasn't even related to, never coming to check up on my wellbeing, leaving me to be abused. Then when he does come he thrust's me into this world I know nothing about, telling me I have to listen to him and the Weasely's because no one else could be trusted. If it wasn't for him I would have grown up with my dad, and I would have had loving friends to go along with that family."

"You may step down now Mr. Potter. Would Lucius Malfoy please come to the stand."

Draco watched as his "Father" went to the stand with a trademark Malfoy Sneer on his face, making him smile. He would miss being with this man all the time.

"Now Mr. Malfoy all we have to ask you is what happened the night James and Harry were taken from your home?"

" James was in hiding for fear of himself and Draco. He came to us saying that Dumbledore had found him and he needed somewhere else to go. He wanted me to promise that if something were to happen to him that I would take care of Draco as my own. I readily agreed, since he was a very good friend of mine. Moments after Severus showed up with Harry, Dumbledore came bursting threw my floo and grabbed James and Harry. We tried to follow threw the floo but it was blocked from the other side right after."

"Thank you. Severus Snape please come to the stand." Draco felt Harry tighten his hold on him and pull Draco closer to his side.

"What happened after your son was taken?"

"I broke down. I hugged Draco promising him we would find his father and my son."

Severus replied.

"But yes you went though all these years with Harry in your classes and right under your nose without saying one word to him. Why?" Severus glanced over to Harry and Draco could see he was upset about this.

"Like I told my son, it was hard. I wanted to tell him everyday, but I was afraid that Dumbledore would realize that Harry wasn't James' and he would try to do something to Draco. I was protecting more people from getting hurt by him. When we finally found James, that was when we told Harry about being my son." Severus stated, keeping his eyes locked with Harry.

"What did he think of this?"

"He didn't want to believe it. I talk to Sirius and told him and he was the one that told Harry it was true. He finally excepted me when I showed him my memories. He thought I willingly gave him up and kept him from Sirius."

"And who do you blame for your son hating you?"

"I blame Albus for taking him away and putting him somewhere that he was abused. I blame my self for him hating me. I love him and I was protecting him, but I had to behave in a way that would not let Albus suspect anything."

"Alright, everyone may leave for now. We will call everyone back when we are ready to give the verdict." The judges stood up and left, making the court room burst out in commotion.

Draco let Harry wrap his arms around him as the noise became really loud. Everyone throwing questions at both boys, trying to find out everything all at once. Draco felt himself being led around until they were outside and he was in his dad's arms instead of Harry's. He quickly pulled himself away from his dad, looked at him with an apologetic smile and went right back into Harry's arms.

"Everything will be alright Draco. He will be sent away and we will never have to worry about him again." Draco looked up into Harry's eyes and suddenly felt the others lips upon his, making him instantly feel better.
