Glad you guys liked the last chapter, especially how I let Pan beat the hell out of the Weasley women and the Lestrange brothers. Here comes the trial chapter and everyone gives a large or small testimony along with a few hardass witnesses for the defense for all four defendants. Hope you enjoy this!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

P.S. sorry if this sounds like a muggle court too much, I couldn't find a lot on the wizard court so I improvised.

Wizengamot Courtroom:

At exactly one o'clock that afternoon, Harry and his new family arrived at the Ministry for the trial of Ginny and Molly Weasley, and Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange. The witnesses besides themselves were the rest of the Weasley family, Lavender, and of course Neville and Luna. They were all seated in the witness stands, Gabriel in Pan's arms and quietly resting over her slightly noticeable pregnant belly. Hermione's had grown a bit too, and she and Ivan found out they were having a boy; if asked they would of course announce the pregnancies in both women.

They had waited for the rest of the court to arrive, and then Kingsley came in sitting atop the main podium between Amelia Bones and someone else Harry didn't recognize.

"Court is now in session, bring in the defendants." He said and on the opposite end of the room several officers escorted the chained four inside towards some chairs seated in front of the entire court. Molly's skin was a dusty tan and her red hair was messy with bags under her eyes; Ginny's skin was pasty compared to the prison robes she wore and her hair was a matted mess along with sever black splotches of dirt and grime covering her face. The Lestrange brothers looked worse, both with matted hair and almost no skin was visible under the dirt.

"Only a week in Azkaban and they're already a mess." Ivan whispered to Harry.

"You should've seen Lucius when he got out, he didn't look nowhere as bad as they do." Harry laughed and received a nudge from Draco and Lucius. Ginny looked up at Harry with pleading eyes, but he gave her a stony stare and she looked away.

"The defendants have been charged with multiple accounts of trespassing and stalking, one account of kidnapping, assault, discordant bonding, attempted rape, and attempted murder. How do the defendants plead?" Amelia said each count with great sternness.

"Not Guilty." All four said at once and as usual there was no surprise. What excuses did they have this time?

"The first witness to come is…" Amelia checked the papers. "Pandora Potter."

"Mrs. Potter will you please take the stand?" Pan passed Gabriel into Harry's arms and kissed him before making her way down to the witness box. "Do you agree to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God?" Pan raised her hand looking straight at Kingsley.

"I do."

"Please sit." She did so and kept her eyes on her observers.

"Now then Mrs. Potter, would you kindly explain to the court what happened after you were abducted?" Harry listened carefully.

"I woke up in a strange dark cellar, my hands and feet were chained to the wall. For most of the time the Lestrange brothers would taunt, hit, and curse at me but never actually went too far, until the last night." She paused. "I overheard them talking about the orders they were given by Molly and Ginny, to take me up to the church for Harry to see me one more time before they forced him into an illegal bonding. After that they came in and as I took the truth from them myself I managed to escape my bonds before they could assault me any further." Some mumbles and gasps were heard, and then Amelia Bones leaned forward.

"Thank you Mrs. Potter."

"One quick question Mrs. Potter, the hospital records indicate that when you were checked in you were covered in blood, but it wasn't yours or the defendants'. Care to explain?" a small, plump woman with thick lips and red hair asked. Harry saw Pan giggle a little and stared at the woman.

"After I escaped and apprehended my first two captors, I found an old pig walking around outside the church. It was old and already dying, so I killed it with the knife I had found in Rabastan's robes; I splattered the blood all over me to make it look as if I had killed the brothers and was coming after Molly and Ginny."

"In other words you were trying to scare them?"

"To buy time yes." The witch laughed a little.

"Thank you Mrs. Potter. Anymore questions?" a couple of hands rose up.

"Mrs. Potter, what happened after you entered the church?"

"I had gotten there just in time, before they began the bonding. Ginny was wearing a wedding dress and Molly was dressed like a Minister, I came in when I heard her bring out the objection part. Ginny was scared instantly, and Molly tried to attack me."

"Sometime later you were stunned and ended up in St. Mungo's?"

"Yes."

"And if I may ask Mrs. Potter for I have your records in my hands….are you pregnant?" there it was. "I'm only asking because the stunner would've only made you unconscious yet it says here that you were in intense pain and clutching your stomach?" Pan looked back at Harry and then to her observers.

"Yes, I'm three months along past my second trimester."

"What? NO!" Ginny stood up from her seat abruptly.

"Sit down and keep quiet Ms. Weasley or you will be removed from this court." Ginny sat down glaring at Pan with her mother and partners.

"That explains why you were in pain, your child was telling you something was wrong and was trying to heal you. According to the records your child has a strong amount of magic already." Harry smiled and watched as Pan rubbed her belly.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome Mrs. Potter, any more questions?" no hands went up. "Thank you Mrs. Potter you may step down." Pan stepped down from the box and made her way over towards Harry; he kissed her cheek and held her hand. "The court now calls Harry Potter to the stand." Harry left his spot and took the witness box's seat.

"State your name." Kingsley.

"Harold James Potter."

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"

"I do."

"Please sit." Harry did so. "Mr. Potter, tell us how long it had been when your wife's captors abducted her?"

"Three days approximately sir."

"Tell us, when you first found out your wife was abducted did the kidnappers leave a note?"

"Yes."

"And what did it say?" Harry took a deep breath.

"It was charmed, so I couldn't tell anyone what it said or who sent it. Thankfully though Hermione figured it out but I was forced to go alone."

"The charm is still in effect?" Harry nodded; Kingsley raised his wand over Harry and with a small wave Harry felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off him. "Let's see if this works, can you tell us what the letter said?"

"The letter was from Ginny, she was ordering me to marry her and leave Pan and Gabriel behind or she would let the Lestrange brothers keep her. She mentioned Bellatrix being Rodolphus's wife and he needed a new one, so she was going force me into marriage. It also told me about the charm, so I couldn't say anything or bring anyone with me otherwise Pan may have gotten hurt."

"I see, and after you arrived what happened?"

"I got there on the last day, hoping I would be able to rescue Pan soon and take her home. Ginny wore a wedding dress and Molly minister robes, I asked where Pan was and they said don't forget about our deal. Right when the objection came I would make my move, but then Pan showed up covered in blood with a knife in her hand." He paused for a quick breath. "She was smiling, almost psychotically…and Ginny ran scared behind Molly and me, I asked Pan if she was alright and she said that she was fine. Molly couldn't believe she had escaped, and tried to attack her, but then Pan's little act…reminded me of her mother Bellatrix."

"Did you know she was acting?" Harry shook his head.

"Not at first, but after she disarmed Molly and Ginny threw herself at my legs. Pan tried to show mercy, Ginny wouldn't take it; she pushed Ginny into one of the pews and Molly stunned her. I attacked Molly and went to Pan's side, she mentioned a baby and I disapparated her to St. Mungo's." Kingsley exchanged a few glances and nodded at Harry.

"Mr. Potter, we're all aware of your past relationship with the young Ms. Weasley. Tell us, why would she do something this drastic, and her mother hiring two wanted criminals to kidnap and attempt to rape your wife?" a tall wizard with a thick mustache asked and Harry's eyes hardened; he looked over at the defendants meeting Ginny and Molly's pleading stares.

"I honestly couldn't tell you, you would have to ask them yourselves." Kingsley nodded again.

"Thank you Mr. Potter, you may step down." Harry did so and once he got to his seat he put Gabriel in his lap, while Pan leaned in and whispered in his ear.

"You were great Harry." He smiled and kissed her cheek.

"So were you my love."

"The court now calls Ginevra Weasley to the stand. Guards bring forth the defendant." Two large guards escorted Ginny over to the box and chained her to the chair. "Ginevra Weasley, in the eyes of this court and all its witnesses, you will be subjected to taking a dose of Veritaserum to prevent any false allegations. Do you understand?" Ginny nodded. "Guard." One of the guards pulled out a small vile and held it to Ginny's lips, she drank it down and they left to sit on either side of the minister's podium. Amelia leaned forward looking down at her.

"Ms. Weasley, do you know why you're here under arrest, and on trial for the multiple crimes against you and your family?"

"Yes."

"You understand everything we've been told so far? Is it all true?"

"Yes, from what I can recall." Harry knew she was only being truthful because of the potion, but he could also see she was hesitant.

"We understand this all went down after you and your family found out about the wedding ceremony for Mr. and Mrs. Potter, will you tell us what happened after you got home?" Ginny looked at Molly, who just gave a cold stare. "Keep your eyes on the court Ms. Weasley." She looked back.

"A-After we got home, and Percy was arrested…mum went crazy. She said that Harry had no business marrying that whore Pandora, and that we needed to terminate the marriage as soon as possible."

"Did she tell you that?"

"Yes, dad and my other brothers had gone to try and bail Percy out. I was agreeing with mum, because I still loved Harry. I wanted to be with him, but he wanted her." Now she was snarling.

"So you and your mother concocted the scheme to hire the Lestrange brothers to kidnap Pandora and force Harry to bond with you?"

"Yes." She growled that time.

"And you cared not for her son? Unfortunately Mr. Potter signed a legal adoption agreement, if anything had happened to his wife he would have custody of their son."

"He's not his son!" she shouted.

"Silence Ms. Weasley!" Kingsley shouted hammering his mallet. Ginny went quiet instantly but seethed through her gritted teeth.

"Now, other than your supposed 'love' for Harry Potter, what were your motivations? Why try and go after him when he's happily married and has become a father?" Ginny looked at Harry, then back to the court.

"Because it should've been me all along, I loved Harry from the minute he was in my house in my first year! I was there for him when he needed me, I supported him when others didn't, I was meant to be the next Lady Potter and out of the blue comes this…this girl? The dark daughter? How could he choose her over me, they had only met months ago and I've known him all my life, and she has a child! She's not meant for him I am! I should be married to him, I should be carrying his child, and she should be the one in chains going to Azkaban for her crimes not me!" she was rattling her chains as she spoke. Kingsley hammered his mallet again.

"I think that's enough, take her back to her seat. Bring forth Molly Weasley." The guards did as so and also gave some Veritaserum to Molly as well. She was chained to the chair but she had a nastier glare on her face than her daughter.

"Mrs. Weasley, can you concur that everything your daughter said is true?" they obviously weren't taking too long with the criminals. Just as Harry had hoped, but he would have to ask for leniency on Molly and Ginny's part since Ron asked him.

"Yes."

"Do you also concur that the bond you nearly forced upon Mr. Potter was illegal and wouldn't have worked?" Molly's eyes widened.

"Impossible, I know that girl forced Harry into marrying her! He couldn't have done it willingly! That's why I knew if I could bond Harry with my daughter then he'd be free of whatever spell she has on him." Several groans were heard, including from Harry's side.

"Mrs. Weasley I'm afraid you're incorrect. I was the one who bonded Harry and Pan, if he had been under any spell of sorts then the bonding wouldn't have worked. You know what a soul bond is, then you should know once a witch or wizard finds their true mate they cannot be separated. To prove this I took the liberty of asking Mrs. Tonks to inform those of us who are not familiar with a soul bond. Mrs. Tonks if you will…" Andromeda stood from her seat and put her wand to her neck to put more volume into it.

"A soul bond is exactly what most would think, it's when a wizard or witch feels not only a physical attraction to their mate, but a soul attraction as well. In knowing so the two would feel a certain feeling, like a pull or stretch towards their mate when they meet. It may not always happen on first sights, but it blossoms over time; if another tries to force one of the mates to bond then it will either not work, or it could fatally harm them. If the bond is forcibly removed then the mate will suffer without their other half and anything between them could be strained terribly. Basically stating, the bond cannot be forced or it could end in disaster." Andromeda smiled at Harry and Pan then sat back down.

"And how is it you know so much Mrs. Tonks?" Amelia.

"Because I was the exact same way with my husband Ted, as is my younger sister Narcissa with Lucius." The Malfoys smiled and Harry saw their hands join together.

"Thank you Mrs. Tonks; that proves the point Mrs. Weasley, do you have any more concerns?" Molly looked like she'd been hit by a dragon's tail or worse burned by one. Ginny looked the same if not worse, and the two instantly started shouting.

"It's a lie!" Molly.

"Harry is mine!" Ginny.

"She forced him I know it!" Molly.

"It should be her here not us! It should be her!" Ginny screamed louder than Molly and finally Kingsley had enough. He slammed his hammer and pointed to the guards.

"It's clear that everything we've heard is true, the Lestrange brothers are henceforth sentenced to life in Azkaban. Take them away." Four guards grabbed the brothers and practically dragged them out back to Azkaban. "As for you two, it's at the request of both Mr. Ronald Weasley and Mr. Potter that you both be sentenced to ten years in St. Mungo's criminal ward; a lighter punishment than what you deserve but you will be locked away nonetheless and are forbidden any contact with Mr. Potter or his family once you are released. This court is adjourned." He slammed his mallet down one more time and Molly and Ginny were dragged out of the court room before everyone else filed out.

"That went well don't you think?" Harry asked his wife. Gabriel moved steadily in his arms and he laughed as he tried to grab his glasses. "Whoa little guy that's not a toy." Pan laughed with him.

"Harry, Pan why don't you two come over for dinner tonight?" Ivan asked holding onto Hermione. "It'll be like a celebration of sorts, Ron and Lavender are coming."

"Sure, shall we bring Gabe?" Hermione giggled and kissed the baby's head.

"Of course, he is our nephew. And Pan isn't your and Ivan's birthday coming up?" Pan's eyes widened with her brother and Harry almost did since he nearly forgot.

"It is, in two weeks I'd almost forgot!"

"Well fret not we'll celebrate together. Now come on we're going to have soup and salad tonight."

"Oh can we have cauldron cakes for dessert?" Pan asked. That was her main craving, along with chicken, pickles, and blueberries; Harry had been forced to stock up with it.

"Sure I think I can get some." All four walked out with their families each one happy about getting a huge load off their backs and awaiting what was soon to come.

Sound good? Like the Ginny and Molly tantrums? Next chapter's the birthday party for Ivan and Pan, along with a little drama mixed in though I think I'll bring in another enemy though I'm not sure who yet. Any ideas?

Leave a good review and I'll update as soon as I can!

Later!
