Chapter 6: The Hogwartians Vote on my Fate, At Their School.

Hey guys! The trial is going to be in this chapter. By no mean will it not be put in there! Don't worry! I will not have that!

By the way, if you're a Leo superfan (like me.), plz, plz, PLZ just go look for my community! It's called...Leo! (It really is called that!) Von Karma just accepted my staff request, so she'll be helping me too! Guess how many subscribers I have? (And the correct answer is...) Zero. Zilch. No hay números. (No numbers.) So, can you awesome people help me out? Pretty please? :D

Harry's P.O.V.

*There's a time lapse, by the way. Sorry, but you guys can get over it. Right?...Guys?*

In 20 minutes, I was going to have to vote. But I had it easy. Here's the plan:

1. Go to trial.

2. Just stand there and wait for directions.

3. Vote for Leo.

I figured it was a lot easier than some of the other plans I had. But...boy, was I wrong.

When I got to the trial, 20 minutes later, I didn't realize that everyone, including the teachers, was going to have to vote. Pandemodium broke out even before I got through the doors. Even before I got close to the doors.

I didn't think I would be able to find Leo in this mess, but he found me.

"Hey! Harry! Over here!" he called.

I made my way through the crowd, and found out that both Hermione and Ron were there, standing next to Leo.

"I don't see how this is...a trial. It looks more like a riot. You know, the ones where everybody is shouting at the same time." he said, over the sound of the crowd.

"I know! I barely got through the door!" I shouted.

"WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Hermione yelled.

"I CAN'T HEAR THEM EITHER, MIONE!" Ron shouted, after Hermione nearly burst my ears drums.

"EVERYONE QUIET DOWN! Now, I know this trial is important, but that doesn't mean all of you students - and teachers - have to talk at the same time! Now, Leo? Would you like to come up here and explain to us why you think you're innocent?" Dumbledore said from the stage.

(A/N Plz guys! Review "Different Dimensions" by Franziska Von Karma! For more info, read the bottom A/N!)

Leo walked up there, while everbody was whispering about him.

"Well, uh..." he started. "First, I would like to ask you a question. What did I do for everyone to start...judging and fearing me like this?"

He pointed to Hermione, who was nicely raising her hand. "I believe you did not do a thing, Leo." she stated.

"CORRECT!" he shouted, like he was the host of one of those game shows. Except nobody was going to win fabulous prizes.

"Now, does anyone else have anything to add?" he asked.

Draco Malfoy shouted out, "You burst into flames, you idiot! I think everyone here knows that that is just not normal. At all."

"You know, Malfoy. There used to be more people like me. One of them started the Great Fire of London." he smiled as he threatened Malfoy.

Suddenly, Malfoy looked scared, but soon he remembered people were watching. So he tried to keep his cool, although he did not hide his fear well.

"Now, just because I'm different, I'm treated differently? How is that fair? I'm sure many people who have been great heroes were different than the average puny little wizard." he looked at Malfoy as he said "puny little wizard."

Malfoy looked thoroughly offended.

"Take Professor Lupin, from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, for instance." he said. "I've heard great things about him from Harry, Ron, and Hermione about him." he looked at us.

"That's because Lupin was a lying, filthy git!" Malfoy shouted.

Leo's eyes shot flames at Malfoy. "Huh...really? 'Cause I thought you were the git." Everyone in the room suddenly went, "Ohhh!" But not many people heard Leo mutter, "Whatever that is..."

"Anyway, I think I've been talking long enough," he sighed. "So, Annabeth, get up here." Leo smiled at the pretty blonde.

"Thank you, Leo!" she said. "Now, here in the Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry, rule book, it clearly states that anyone within good reason is allowed to attend this school. Now, Leo's good reason is that Chi- I mean his summer camp director told him to go to this school. The camp director said that Leo was meant to help you guys with your... problem. Chi- I mean Leo's camp director just happens to be a very good friend of Professor Dumbledore's. If you could find it in your hearts to just... You know what? Scratch that. If you guys have brains I think you'd be able to tell the difference between good and bad. So, if you have one, use your brain! Leo's amazing! He can make anything out of almost everything! So just... use your brain. Okay?" she finally finished. I could tell she was really trying hard to make her point.

"Ahhh... You think I'm that special, Annabeth?" Leo asked.

"Don't push it, Leo." Annabeth replied, glaring at Leo.

"Now, Mr. Malfoy, would you like to tell everyone your case?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, I would, Professor." he told him.

Leo stuck his tongue out and made a face at Draco, as he walked by.

"Now, as you know, Leo is a major danger to mankind." he started.

"Nice opening sentence..." Leo muttered, sarcasticly.

"He can burst into flames at any given moment. Therefore, he should at least be removed from the school." he said.

"Hey, Malfoy! Prove it! Prove that I burst into flames!" Leo shouted out.

"I can't prove something only YOU can do! You'll just have to believe me, okay?" he finished. Not much evidence, I noticed.

"Not much evidence," Leo muttered. What was funny was that we were both thinking the same thing.

"ALRIGHT! I believe everyone has made their statement, now. Here's how to vote. Annabeth...?" Dumbledore said.

"Yes, here is how to vote. It is the Athenian way!" she grinned, and Leo rolled his eyes. "We have one bag, plenty of black and white marbles supplied here. Everyone will pass around a leather bag, and the marbles in seperate bags, and you guys have to put in a white marble if you think he's innocent. If you put in a black marble, you're saying he's guilty. Don't do that. I know you guys think he's innocent!" Annabeth supplied.

She grabbed the three bags, put a white marble in, and passed the bags to the teachers.

After that, the teachers gave the bags to the students. It took a while, but soon everyone had cast their vote. Ron, Hermione, and I all put in white marbles, of course.

"Alright, it seems that everyone has voted. We have counted the black and white marbles, and we have come to a conclusion. Leo is..."
