Chapter 11

Harry (POV)

I slapped a hand over my mouth as the last word left my mouth causing it to be muffled.

I shot a frightened glance at my father.

He had already shot up and was trying to get past the aurors guarding the audience stands.

"Remove your hand from your mouth and answer the question girl." An official angrily yelled.

"Its alright harry it will come out sooner or later." Father yelled.

"What is your name?" Fudge asked more forcefully.

I lowered my hand before answering.

"Harrison L-Lillian Potter-S-Snape." I answered.

"Severus adopted you?" Dumbledore yelled. "That's why the Weasley adoption didn't work?"

"No the p-potters adopted m-me." I answered automatically thanks to the potion before firing a question of my own at him." You t-tried to force me into t-that family?" I yelled.

"Attention! What do you mean the potters adopted you?" Fudge asked.

"My m-mother is L-lily Evans she a-and James p-potter married in a-an attempt to p-protect me worried t-that my fathers t-ties to Voldemort w-would place all of us in d-danger. Gringotts recently f-forwarded me a letter from m-my mother explaining e-everything." I answered.

"This is not why we are here!" Father yelled.

Fudge shook his head.

"You are right. Ms Potter-Snape did Albus Dumbledore place you under the cruciatus curse?" he asked.

"Yes." I answered simply.

"Why?"

"B-because I refused t-to sign over the d-deeds to my vaults and p-properties left to me in t-the potters will. They m-made adjustments to their w-will naming me their heir in e-everything but b-blood." I answered when Dumbledore opened his mouth.

"Were your muggle family abusive?" Fudge asked.

"Yes. I w-was starved, beaten and l-locked in a cupboard under t-the stairs when I d-did something that d-displeased them." I answered avoiding looking anyone in the eye.

"You let this happen?!" Fudge screeched.

Dumbledore shrunk back slightly.

"I had no knowledge of this occurring." Dumbledore answered losing some of his confidence.

"Liar!" I yelled. "Every y-year I begged y-you to let m-me stay at H-Hogwarts I told you they were a-abusing me but you t-told me that I was l-lying and to stop exaggerating d-did you never e-even consider that t-there was a reason I was m-making these allegations." I snarled.

"Give her the antidote. It is time to question Albus." Fudge called.

I thanked the person who handed me the antidote and made my way towards the stand.

"Snape's your father?" Pansy called quietly enough that nobody else heard but loud enough that our group heard it.

"I'm s-sorry I didn't t-tell you. We planned to k-keep it a secret for as l-long as possible." I whispered back.

"Who know?"

"This c-court room." I answered. "Before t-that just Father a-and I."

This seemed to please her and she immediately forgave me for keeping it a secret.

We turned our attention back to the trial as Dumbledore was forced to swallow the veritaserum.

"What is your name?" Fudge called.

"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." Dumbledore quickly answered.

"Did you place Miss potter-Snape under the cruciatus curse?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"She refused to sign over her properties and vaults and was ruining my plans."

"What where your plans?"

"To have her write her will leaving everything to me then, have her killed during the battle against Voldemort." He answered.

"You bastard!" Father yelled.

"Order! Did you leave Her in an abusive environment?"

"Yes. It made her easier to manipulate if she was beaten for questioning authority."

All people in attendance showed their disgust plainly on their faces.

"Did you knowingly place the students of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry in danger?"

"Yes. It was a form of training for Harry."

"That is all the evidence we need."

"All in favour of guilty?" Fudge called.

Every one of the ministers in attendance raised their hand.

"All opposed?"

No one moved.

"Albus Dumbledore we find you guilty on all counts. You are sentenced to life in Azkaban." Fudge called banging his gavel making it official.

A crestfallen Dumbledore was led from the hall with aurors on either side.

"I would like to offer an apology to Miss potter-Snape for all that man has forced you through."

Many ministry officials nodded their agreement.

"Thank you m-minister. I am j-just pleased t-that I can f-fall no more h-harm form t-that man." I replied offering a small smile.

The hall quickly emptied.

Pansy quickly wrapped me in a hug.

"Its over." She whispered as I returned the hug.

When she pulled back I felt my fathers hand on my shoulder.

"A word if you please." He said steering me out of earshot. "I am sorry I never realised it was that bad. If I hadn't let my own stupid jealousy over James get in the way I would have realised the signs of abuse. I am so sorry."

"Its not your fault I'm free now that's what matter now." I said wrapping my arms around him.

"We should return to school." He said after a few seconds.

As soon as I walked into the great hall for dinner my old Gryffindor friends surrounded me.

"What happened?"

"Are you alright?"

"Will he come back?"

"How long was his sentence?"

"G-guys I can only a-answer one q-question at a time. He was f-found guilty. I'm f-fine. He wont b-be, coming back and life in Azkaban." I answered.

"Wow, remind us never to get on your bad side." Seamus laughed before Neville and dean joined him.

"Come sit with us today we haven't talked in ages." Neville said.

"Why d-don't you g-guys come sit at the S-slytherin table? That w-wqay I can introduce e-everyone." I said slowly pulling them towards my house table.

They slowly nodded and followed me.

"Hey Harry how was the trial?" Theo asked.

"He's g-gone!" I smiled sitting down.

"Congratulations." Blaise smiled.

"Are you going to introduce your friends?" Theo asked.

"Right sorry G-guys this is S-seamus, Dean a-and Neville. Guys this is T-theo, Blaise, P-pansy and Draco." I said pointing to each person as I said his or her name.

"Pleasure." Draco said with Theo and Blaise nodding behind him.

"Hi. So you were Harry's friends in the lion's den. I like them better than the other ones." Pansy said smiling.

"Glad you approve of us." Neville said shyly.

Before long everyone was in deep conversation.

Blaise, dean and Seamus were busy in a conversation about quiditch while Pansy, Neville and Theo were talking about the latest Herbology assignment.

I was switching between each conversation trying to keep up.

When I turned back to Draco he stopped talking and leaned over to whisper something in my ear.

"Your fathers staring at you." He whispered.

I felt a shiver run down my spin as his warm breath fell on my neck.

I turned away feeling a blush on my cheeks before looking at my father.

He jerked his head to the hall before standing and leaving the hall himself.

After a minute I stood and followed him.

"Watch granger and Weasley Professor McGonagall caught them sneaking into the school with some dangerous potions intent on giving them to you as revenge for Dumbledore." He said glaring at a student who had left the hall and came close to were we stood.

The squeaked and ran off in the opposite direction.

Get your elves to check all your mail and food before you eat any of it." He said before turning and heading towards his private labs.

I stood still for a second before heading back into the hall.

"Dobby K-kreacher!" I whispered the elves appeared behind me hidden from view from all but the slytherin's.

"What can we do for you mistress?" Kreacher asked.

"I want my m-mail checked for portkeys and any h-harmful spells before being brought to me p-please."

"Of course mistress. Anything else?" Dobby asked.

"Could you also check my f-food for potions and p-poisons before I eat it?"

the elves quickly agreed and popped away to carry out the tasks.

"Come on its s-such a nice day lets g-go sit by the lake." I said startling my friends.

Before long we were lounging around on the banks of the lake as the giant squid stuck its tentacles out into the sunlight.

"So not only are you a traitor you're also trying to corrupt the Gryffindor's." Weasel called as he and granger came down to where we sat.

"Of course n-not." I replied closing my eyes and letting the sunlight heat my body and the sounds of the forest calm me.

When I opened my eyes they both pulled their wands out.

"Did you not l-learn from the last t-time you drew your wands a-against me?"

"Your stupid death eater wannabes would dare use any curse on us." Weasel sneered.

"Unless h-however you continued to t-threaten me. Then the l-loyal and worried f-friends they are they w-would be forced to stun y-you then retrieve Pr-pofessor Snape where you will be punished a-accordingly. Come one suddenly the lake has lost its p-peacefulness." I said standing and heading towards the castle.

I know the trail went fast but I couldn't really think of anything else that needed to be put in there.

Please r/r

Next chapter I might have the reveal of Snape as Harry's dad outside the courtroom.

Dumbles will return in the future so this wont be the last we see him.
