Hello everyone! Here is the next chapter, a bit shorter than the previous but not by much! I do hope you enjoy!
~Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"Pansy this is absolutely ridiculous!" Hermione said glaring at her best friend
"Please Mya; you know you want to go. I'm required and you can't abandon me in England alone!" Pansy pleaded as she continued to pack Hermione's bags.
"Fine," Hermione said and with a flick of her wand everything was packed and ready "Let's get this over with"
"Thanks so much Mya!" Pansy squealed as they apparated to the hotel they would be staying at for the few days they were here. "Get ready quickly we have an hour before the trial starts"
"Alright" Hermione changed into suitable attire for court and met Pansy in the common area between their rooms and they popped over to the ministry.
"Can I help you" A blonde witch drawled out not looking up from her nails.
"We are here for the Malfoy Divorce Trail" Pansy said rolling her eyes.
"Go on in, they're about to start" Pansy nodded and walked into the room her black heels clicking on the floor.
"Alright everyone, we are going to get started. We are here today to over hear the divorce between Daphne Malfoy and Draco Malfoy on grounds of adultery and Veela inheritance" The minister spoke calling everyone's attention to him. "We will start by reading the list of demands from Mrs. Malfoy that were submitted this morning and then proceed onto the expert witnesses"
"Mrs. Malfoy has requested half her dowry, the French villa, all of her things from the manor, an additional 400,000 galleons, and full custody to her son Scorpius Orion Malfoy, with no visitation rights to the father, Draco Lucius Malfoy" The woman off to the side read and the whole court rose furiously.
"Sit down" The minister called silencing everyone "We will determine the fate of the child, after lunch, first we must grant separation. Now we call Mrs. Pansy Parkinson to the stand. She is the head of the Magical Creatures Ward of the Magical Maladies Hospital in Australia. She has been treating Mr. Malfoy and we will hear her testimony"
"Thank you sir" Pansy said smiling pleasantly as she moved up to the stand. She could feel the entire crowd staring at her, in her black pencil skirt that fit nicely across her ass and the bright pink suite jacket that hugged her ample breasts and small stomach.
"Ms. Parkinson, you knew Mr. Malfoy during your childhood yes?" Daphne's lawyer said standing up
"Yes" Pansy answered
"And you dated for a while"
"I don't see the questions relevance to what I'm here to speak about but yes, Draco and I dated for a brief period of time in third year" She answered
"Did Mr. Malfoy ever exhibit Veela qualities around you during the time you were with him." The lawyer asked
"No, he was much too young. Veela's don't come into their inheritance until at least 18 years of age. Some don't until they are at least 25." Pansy said sighing
"No further questions" The lawyer sat down as Draco's stood and smiled at her.
"Ms. Parkinson, how long have you been studying and healing veela?" He asked her
"Since my graduation of Hogwarts" Pansy said politely
"You wrote your dissertation for you healer's license on the nature of veela and their transformations yes?"
"Yes sir"
"Can you please tell us, in as much detail as possible a veela transformation?"
"Veela transformations are tricky to spot. Most are overlooked and many result in death because they realize it too late. When one transforms their body shuts itself down. So they shake and convulse before collapsing. Usually this is the point when people rush them to the hospitals." Pansy said smiling "Afterwards they stay in a feverish state anywhere from a day to three weeks, depending on the person and their body's ability to cope with the changes. Once the change is complete the veela has three years to find and claim their mate."
"What happens if the veela doesn't find their mate in time?"
"It will result in a slow painful death due to the depression that consumes them" Pansy said softly
"Have you witnessed such a death?"
"I have witnessed such a death twice, once because they didn't find their mate and the other because the mate rejected them." Pansy said sadly
"Ms. Parkinson, if Mr. Malfoy isn't granted his divorce, what will happen?"
"He will die. Wizard Marriages such as the one that was used to wed Daphne and Draco are designed to lock the male in the marriage so no bastard children can be born. Due to this Draco can not claim his mate until the marriage is no more" Pansy said softly
"Thank you Ms. Parkinson" The lawyer said sitting next to Draco once more as Daphne's lawyer stood and walked over to her.
"Ms. Parkinson, in your professional opinion, could Mr. Malfoy be faking his veela heritage in order to get the marriage annulled?"
"No, one can not fake a veela heritage. It's in the blood. I have personally ran the tests and submitted them in evidence" She said
"Thank You Ms. Parkinson" the minister said sighing "We will now move to the matter of Mrs. Malfoy adultery. First witness please"
Well there you have it! The first half of the trail! Tune in next time to see the verdict!
