Title: Truth behind the name and the lies P.2

Pairing: DracoxHarry,

Fandom : HP

Notes: An abused boy finds out he's a wizard and a hero; his tormented mind rebels. One person sees through the misconceptions to the real Harry and treats him the way he deserves. How does this change them both and those around them? Please read P.1 otherwise you maybe confused…

This story will vary more so then Part 1 did from Sorcerer's stone. I had some comments that they were too similar- was still wary of how much to drift from the canon then.

'I can't wait to see the dursleys defend themselves; molly came off a bit like a bitch when it came to the twins'
- Molly has never seemed as close to the twins. They are rather independent and are different people yet she treats them as if they are the same person. She can't tell them apart even by differences in favorite subjects or in foods. She pushes Ron, Ginny and Percy to do well but she seemed to give up on the twins in the books. Fred is the planner, the smart one while George seems to care more about others. That's what I see. The twins have hopes and dreams too but they aren't Molly's dreams. She can't brag about them like she can Bill, Charlie or Percy. Molly was a prefect, she thinks rules are important. the twins see them as guidelines or to be broken just for fun.

'Awwwwww cute abused Harry. I adore your HP stories, this is a awesome alternate universe. Draco will always be there to protect Harry and it's so adorable. Can't wait for the next chapter, update when you can please. ^-^' -I tried to make it different. I prefer uke Harry lols. This Draco would do anything for Harry. Thanks for the praise. I need to figure out what to do with Undeniable. still stuck on what to do with their vacation...

- Madam Bones is supposed to be big on fairness and law but did have a soft spot for Harry during his trial before the Wizengamot for illegal use of a Patronus charm in a Muggle inhabited area and in the Presence of a Muggle. Appointing her to oversee this case might be the smartest thing Fudge ever did. She was the only person from the canon HP universe I thought who could handle it. Doge would be a push over...he was too pro-Dumbledore.

She doesn't make you swear to tell the truth, she expects it. I'm basing her character on my grandmother who was a lawyer. She really hates being patronized and corrected- which means Dumbledore is really pissing her off.

Chapter 8- Harry's Belated Birthday party and

Draco smiled, "You were very brave Adder. I'm proud of you."

Harry hugged him, "I was brave because you were there with me."

Draco hugged him back, "Come on, Madam Bones is right. You deserve ice cream for being so brave."

Andromeda walked up, "I didn't realize you liked Severus so much Harry. I suppose I didn't ask."

Harry smiled, "It's okay. He isn't supposed to like me because I look like my father and they didn't like each other."

Andromeda nodded, "I suppose that's one way to put it. My cousin Sirius was a bit of a bully himself. Lily and Remus had a hard time keeping them in line."

Severus called out, "Andromeda, I don't think rehashing my years as a student at Hogwarts would be a good use of our time. James had redeeming qualities or Lily would never have married him. He did save my life once after you cousin played a dangerous prank. I would prefer to just take the boys out for lunch and ice cream." he smiled at Harry, "What would you like to eat…"

Harry smiled, "Pizza!"

Severus nodded, "I suppose we can let you have that. We didn't get a chance to celebrate your birthday properly. So lets go have a party we don't have to be back until 2. It's eleven thirty just now."

Harry jumped up and down, "My first Birthday party? Is everyone coming…"

Draco ruffled the excited boy's hair, "Of course. We'll do presents another time is that okay Adder."

"Yep."

Harry took Draco's hand and reached for Severus', "Can I…call you papa Sev…" he asked really quietly.

Severus nodded, kneeling down to hug him, "Yes. You are a very special little boy. You're right. I do love you very much." his eyes shone with happiness.

Harry hugged him back, "Having you for a papa is the best present I could have."

Draco smiled, "It's nice knowing my two favorite people are close to each other."

"Draco, we should hurry."

"Yes Father."

Harry walked between Draco and Severus.

Draco spoke, "Harry wants pizza…"

Lucius nodded, "I'm sure that Antonio's will have pizza."

"Fred and George, you get back here right now."

"But Mum…" the twins chorused.

"I didn't hear you invited."

Harry smiled, "It's my birthday party. They are my friends of course they are invited. Can they come. Please. You can come too. It would be rude not to invite you…"

Molly Weasley sighed, "I guess we can come. Are you sure you've never had a party before…"

Severus smiled, "I heard they had one for his first birthday but they were in hiding."

"Were you there papa Sev…"

Severus shook his head, "No. Your mother and I had a fight and weren't talking. She thought I made some bad friends. She was right, they got me in trouble. I didn't get a chance to apologize."

They arrived at the restaurant, between the names Black, Malfoy and Potter they were shown to a private room.

Molly Weasley was a little overwhelmed.

George and Fred were loving it.

"Harry, you got to see this…"

"the view."

"is gorgeous."

Draco let Harry pull him over to the window.

Harry said in awe, "it's pretty."

Severus called out, "Harry what do you want to drink with your pizza."

"Strawberry juice please."

The six children sat together at the end of the table leaving the adults to talk amongst themselves. Molly sat between the adults and the children, she wasn't close to either group.

Blaisé smiled, "It's nice to see you again Harry. You're looking stronger."

Harry smiled at Draco, "because he's with me. He's helped me with my summer homework. Draco was there when I woke up."

Draco hugged him gently, "I had to stay, so you would come back to me."

Harry said softly, "I know…"

Hermione smiled, "It's nice to see you awake and smiling. I was so scared when I found you. I needed Fred and George because I didn't know how to get to St. Mungos'. I couldn't carry you."

Harry smiled at them, "Thank you. I'm sorry you got in trouble."

Hermione waved her hand, "We'll be fine. We did nothing wrong. Underage magic and magic in the presence of Muggles in acceptable in dire situations. We were faced with a matter of life and death. Your life Harry is more important the rules."

Molly was a little overwhelmed, she had wonder who these children her sons had befriended were exactly.

Lucius called out, "Harry, what was it you wanted for your birthday…"

"To see my friends…to see Papa Sev…" he turned to smile up at Draco, "To see you. I already got what I wanted."

Draco chuckled, "I'm glad you have that."

The food arrived, they had ordered a lot of dishes. Which was just as well since Fred and George were starving.

Harry sipped his juice and ate his pizza, "This is really good."

They had gelato for dessert.

"We should head back. It's nearly one and Ms. Granger is expected to speak." Barrister Montague interrupted.

"It's that late? We should go. I can't wait to testify." Hermione smirked.

XoooooX

Hermione was sitting in the witness chair and quiet excited when Madam Bones reentered the courtroom.

"Ah Ms. Granger are you ready to speak…" Amelia asked.

"Yes Madam Bones."

"Do you have any objection to speaking in front of anyone currently in the courtroom."

"No Madam Bones."

"Very well. Tell me about the events of July 31."

"Harry was supposed to spend part of the summer with me. He hadn't answered any of his letters, not from me, from Fred and George, Blaisé or Draco. We were worried. Draco collapsed that morning which brought Lord Malfoy to my door. He asked me to check on Harry, he worried there were be protection that wouldn't allow him in because he was an adult. Seeing Draco like that…it broke my heart I was terrified what I would find when I reached Harry. Lord Malfoy told me about the Knight Bus, he said it was the best transportation for an underage Muggle-born witch. He left me with a handful of galleons and." she glanced up at Lucius, "Can I tell her the other thing you said…"

Lucius nodded, "Go ahead."

"Lord Malfoy said though it was against the rules for me to use magic that it was okay if I did and he wouldn't let me get expelled. His exact words were 'Do whatever you need to get to Harry. I am on the board of Governors, I wouldn't let you be expelled. If the only way to save Harry is to break the underage ban on magic, do it. I will see that you are protected.'" Hermione proudly stated.

"You were accused of threatening a Muggle with Magic. Can you explain the charge." Amelia asked.

"I was worried Harry was in danger and she wouldn't let me. I told her to move or I'd blast open the door. She told me that I couldn't use magic outside of school and she knew it could get me expelled. I said either she moved herself or I moved her. She ran. That is the extent of my threatening of a Muggle." Hermione crossed her arms, "I didn't want to hurt her I wanted her to get out of my way. I saw Draco…I knew Harry was in a bad way."

"What about the charge of using magic in the presence of Muggles."

"The woman and her idiot child were downstairs and I used alohomora twice. Once to Harry's bedroom door and a second time to free his owl to send for help. That's all."

"I see. It seems that your uses of magic or implied threats was for a reason allowed; Permission from an authority figure in this case, a school governor." Amelia called up to Lucius, "Would the words do whatever you need to save Harry have included her call for assistance from the Weasley twins…"

Lucius stood and bowed, "Yes it would."

Amelia fiddled with her quill, "Then their actions would have been pre-excused…"

"Indeed, whatever needed to be done would cover that."

"So you are excusing the theft of a flying car."

"Yes I would. They had no portkey and could not Apparate. Obviously, the Dursley home is not connected the floo network. It might have taken too long to get there on the Knight Bus."

"Use of the Point me spell."

"Of course."

"Threatening of the Muggle Petunia Dursley…"

Lucius sneered, "Absolutely, I believe she was refusing to allow them to get Medical treatment for a severely injured child."

"For use of a feather-light charm."

"Of course."

Amelia pounded her gavel, "It is my judgment that the children Hermione Granger, Fred Weasley and George Weasley had permission to use magic outside of school by the authority figure governor Lucius Malfoy for the sole purpose of ascertaining if Harry Potter was indeed injured and to take him at once to St. Mungos for treatment. Their actions fell under his stringent guidelines for the use of magic."

"My dear Madam. You are merely excusing such actions because Lucius says so."

"Headmaster. It is allowed as you no doubt know that an authority figure may allow an underage witch or wizard to use magic out of school."

"We haven't ascertained he was even in danger." Dumbledore chided.

"Healer Stewart how many Blood Replenishing potions did you need to give Harry."

"Twenty-third. One every hour for almost a full day."

"How many applications of Bruisewort Balm…"

"Twelve Madam. It is all in the file I submitted. We used sixteen wound cleaning potions. Once he woke from his coma he has to take Dreamless sleep potions every night. He still has nightmares despite the potion."

"Surely a hospital that specializes in magical maladies would be overwhelmed by his injuries." Dumbledore interrupted.

"A healer learns to adapt. If I didn't know any better I'd say it was all done with a Hurling hex. Harry was hurled into something and then had objects thrown at him. It wasn't. There were hand prints, belt marks and shoe prints, magic had nothing to do with his attack. The only echoes of magic were his own and the faint traces of his friends who carried him or held him."

"If you had to guess who hurt Harry who would it be.." Amelia asked.

"A large man with a temper. Someone capable of shoving or throwing him. Someone strong enough to break a rib with a kick. Someone who lives with him." Healer Stewart said matter of factly.

"So you are accusing Mr. Dursley." Amelia asked.

"I see no other who could do it. According to the trace he had not left the Dursleys' residence since he arrived on June 1st until he was taken to St. Mungos by his friends. The bruising pattern and the timing of young Master Malfoy's collapse point to a time when Mr. Dursley would be home."

"Thank you Healer. You may be seated." Amelia toyed with her quill, "We have established due to the intense amount of blood replenishing potions that Harry Potter's life was indeed in danger as Lord Malfoy suspected." she glanced at him, "If you had known there were no wards on the Dursleys home would you have sent Ms. Granger to him."

Lucius sighed, "I don't know. There are still so many who mistrust me and my motives. I doubt it would have been well received if I had taken him in. Besides, I did what I could. I sent someone who had to the courage to look me in the face and tell me what to do. If Miss Granger can do that I was sure she was handle Muggles, especially since she is Muggle-born herself. I also had Mistress Black alerted to the probability of his injury, since he should fall under her protection."

"I see, I find no fault in Lord Malfoy's actions. He made the right choice. I am afraid to admit if he had showed up with an injured Harry Potter he would have been accused of injuring the boy himself. " Amelia declared, bringing down her gavel. "We have established the child Harry Potter's life was in danger and the actions taken by his friends were instrumental in saving his life. That the actions used were excused by authority figure Hogwarts Governor Lord Lucius Malfoy in an attempt to save Harry Potter's life. No action will be taken against Miss Granger, Mr. Fred and Mr. George Weasley." She checked the time. "It's late. We will resume at nine tomorrow morning. I expect to heard from the Dursleys to answer charges brought to them by the House of Black."
