A/N: I did the trial in a very muggle style. I know it isn't like Harry's hearing…but I thought it would be more interesting so I did a version of an actual trial.

"Remus John Lupin you have been brought before the Wizigamot on accusations you have attacked, abused, and harassed Nymphadora Tonks and Hermione Lupin. If Remus Lupin is found guilty of the crimes brought before us today, he will be dismissed from his position at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and may be sentenced to serve time in Azkaban.

Dolores Umbridge will be acting as the Prosecutor's lawyer, and will call forth the witness of Severus Snape, Nymphadora Tonks, and Hermione Lupin. The Defense will be head by Kingsley Shacklebolt. What additional witness do you wish to have called to the stand?"

"Harry Potter, Healer Donald Maketta, and Albus Dumbledore."

All six witness and Remus stood up and took their seats in the center circle on the court.

"Very well. The Prosecution may proceed."

Umbridge stood up and headed over to Tonks.

"Miss Tonks, you met Remus Lupin a few years ago, correct?"

"Yes. I first met him about five years ago and then about two years after we met, we started dating."

"Were you aware of his lycanthropy when you started dating?"

Tonks gave Lupin a scathing look before she continued the question. "I knew Remus was a werewolf, yes. He told me he transformed each full moon but he didn't go into any details. He never mentioned that his condition affected him while he was human though. It was one of the reasons we broke up."

"And when did you break up?"

"About one year after we had started dating. When we started dating he seems so…quiet and gentle. I had heard everyone's warnings about dating a werewolf and things like that but I figured he would be different. I thought I should at least give him a chance."

Tonks' pink hair started to lengthen and turn a darker blue. Her entire speech was obviously rehearsed. The tears slowly leaking from her eyes, but yet Tonks' never stumbled or wavered in her speech. Anyone who knew what happened to Tonks and Lupin knew how much loathing Tonks had for Lupin. Hermione's eyes were flashing dangerously in Tonks' direction, but she kept her composure.

"It was great for the first few months. We were really getting along and he seemed to really care about me. There was a bit of tension around the full moon – so they day before and after the full moon I would leave him alone, per his wishes. I thought he was just concerned about me. Then things started to change. Remus started to get more irritable, days after the full moon."

"Did he ever physically attack you?"

"Not at first. First Remus would start arguing with me over stupid things like where to go to eat. Then he started making threats and….and then he would start to hit me. He – he never used his wand though."

"Did you ever report him?"

"No. He said that if – if I ever told anyone he would chain me next to him on a full moon."

"Did you ever do anything that might cause his outbreaks?"

"I never did anything but try to care for him"

Umbridge turned towards Kingsley. "Do you have any questions for Miss Tonks."

"None." There was no point. Tonks was certainly not backing out of her version of the events.

Umbridge nodded and then turned to the court. "As you can see, werewolves do not normally become so integrated in society. As you can see, Mr. Lupin provides an excellent example of why. Only uniformed wizards and witches fight for equal rights for lycans. A beastly nature never changes. In fact, Mr. Lupin has previously showed his careless endangerment of others, both incidences occurring at Hogwarts."

She turned her attention to Snape. Snape had reluctantly been allowed to testify. He relished the chance to tell everyone how Lupin had almost killed him, but he was no fan of Tonks. Dumbledore feared the threats from Umbridge and the Ministry if Snape didn't appear. They had so far allowed Snape to work at Hogwarts for being a former Death Eater, but only as so far as he remained on relatively good terms with the Ministry.

"Professor Snape, you attended Hogwarts with Mr. Lupin, is that correct?"

"Yes."

"And you two…suffered an altercation?"

"He thought it would be amusing to lure me into a house where he was fully transformed during our 5th year."

"So, as a fifteen year old boy, you would have been faced with a fully grown werewolf?"

"That was the idea."

Umbridge nodded. "Yet you were still willing to work next to Mr. Lupin during his one year stint and Hogwarts?"

"That is correct."

"And you brewed his wolfsbane potion monthly?"

"That is correct."

"Was he taking the correct dosage on the proper days?"

"Most months."

"And on the month or months he didn't?"

"He transformed on the school grounds, with the full mind of the wolf."

"Were there any students on the ground?

'Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger."

"You had made him the potion that night?"

"Yes."

Umbridge turned again to Kingsley, who looked uncomfortable, but had no questions for Snape. There was truth to everything that Snape was saying and the full truth behind it most involved Sirius. It would have looked worse for Remus either way and possibly even worse if he admitted his close relationship to a convicted murderer.

Umbridge turned to Hermione.

"You married Remus Lupin two years ago, almost three months after he had broken up with Tonks."

"Yes."

"And you knew he was a werewolf?"

"I find out my third year at Hogwarts. While we were – involved – he told me much more about his condition."

"Did that include his abuse of his previous girlfriend?"

"He never touched her."

"So, no, he never mentioned anything."

"It would be foolish to mention an inaccuracy."

"Has he ever harmed you?"

"Never."

Umbridge gave out a girly giggle. "So you wanted him to brutally shove you against a wall in the streets of Hogsmeade and, pardon my language, have sex?" She walked over to the jury, brandishing the newspaper page with Remus' image stamped over all of them. "Let this stand as evidence."

Hermione went pale. "No. I didn't want that. But it wasn't his fault he was poisoned! He tried to warn me!"

"But he did try and rape you."

"He didn't want to!"

"But he did."

"Yes."

"No further questions."

"Very well, Mr. Shacklebolt, why don't you start with Mrs. Lupin and then proceed with the rest of your witness before we move to Mr. Lupin."

Kingsley stood up.

"Mrs. Lupin, do you trust your husband?"

"With my life."

"And to your knowledge, would he ever intentionally harm you?"

"No. He makes sure that I am as safe as possible and that he is – contained – when he is the wolf."

"Then why did he assault you in Diagon Alley?"

"We were eating in the Three Broomsticks and someone spiked his drink with an aphrodisiac. He could feel it…taking over. Remus tried to warn me what was going to happen. I just – I didn't listen."

"Do you think he could have injured Miss Tonks?"

"Remus wouldn't hurt anyone."
