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.

Evil Kitty Dictator-
'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...

* well written. glad its all going as it should.- ch.4 -It is interesting writing the court scene.
* well written. oh boy. snippy adults.-ch.5 -Snippy adults is always interesting.
* well written. i love the way you write madam .6

- 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 9- The Dursleys speak out and a verdict

Amelia called the case to order, "I called case of the House of Black vs. Vernon and Petunia Dursley to order. I wish the Dursleys to answer the charges against them."

Petunia strode out to the center of the room, "I have no problem speaking. I never wanted that rotten child. We want nothing to do with your lot. I was never given a choice in the matter. He was deposited on my doorstep, I didn't ask for this. Why should I be punished for being related to Lily? She was spoiled, no one saw her for what she was a freak. It was always Lily this or Lily that. My misguided parents thought it was wonderful to have a witch in the family. I still say it was all that horrible Snape boy's fault. If we'd never met him, she wouldn't be a witch. To have raise my precious Dudley with that lazy ungrateful brat who did nothing but embarrass us was cruel. You want him take him and good riddance. We had him do chores what's wrong with that? So what if we punished him? If a child is disrespectful they should be punished. Cater to a brat like him and he'll end up like Lily thinking she is a queen."

"You treated your nephew as a servant! He cooked and cleaned for you from the age of 3! You made him sleep in a cupboard! You starved him! Ignored him when he was sick! You nearly let your husband beat him to death." Draco yelled, "I'd love to curse you but you aren't worth it. It will take years for him to recover from the terrible things you did to him. You're pathetic and a disgrace to humanity."

"Peace young Master Malfoy. I understand your anger. But please respect the courtroom."

"Forgive my outburst Madam Bones. This woman's very presence irritates me." Draco reluctantly replied.

"You maybe excused Mrs. Dursley. Mr. Dursley."

"I do not recognize this court. I can't believe I am missing work for this. I have a son to worry about and bills to pay. I see this a kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. I do not see the point of this hearing. You want the brat take him. We never did. That Dumble-person is insisted in his letter that we were the only ones that could raise him. That his bloody useless freak parents were dead. Take him and be done with it." Vernon yelled from his place with his supposed barrister.

"I see. I take offence that you do not recognize my court. Do you admit you are responsible for your nephew's injuries…"

"Darn right. He talked back to me. I punished him." Vernon Dursley glared at her.

"You don't think you over did it? He was bleeding to death locked in his bedroom on the floor." Amelia asked scandalized.

"I don't see a problem with it. He disobeyed and was punished." Vernon sneered.

"Very well. I see. Ah Headmaster you are still here. I think it's about time we heard from you."

"I am not accustomed to having my decisions questioned in such a manner by lesser individuals." Dumbledore muttered striding out, expensive royal purple robes swirling around him.

"Explain your reasons for placing such a special child with such disagreeable people." Amelia demanded, annoyed at his grandstanding behavior and attempts to overstep his authority.

"I saw the Dursleys as loving parents with enough room in their home for their nephew. Lily adored her sister. I thought being raised by family would lessen the trauma of losing his parents so brutally."

"You left him on their doorstep…"

"Yes, he was in a basket asleep. I put a warming charm on it and left them a letter."

"At what time did you leave him."

"A little after midnight on November the first."

"You left him outside all night? In November? Albus are you mad? You don't leave a child outside at night in the cold! Warming charm or not." Amelia was appalled… "A child as precious to us as this why did you place any wards? Surely, you proved him some type of protection."

"If the Dark Lord gave an stirring that he might return ,I would have. He was safe where he was with Lily's sister." Dumbledore glared, annoyed she was dared to question him.

Amelia stood, "I've heard enough. Legal Guardianship of Harry Potter and his assets as the heir to the Black and Potter lines fall under the custodianship of Mistress Black. As for his placement, the wishes of the child must be considered. If Professor Snape can prove within two weeks to Mistress Black he can prove a stable home for the boy during the holidays then the child is remanded to his custody. Mistress Black, you have raised a child surely you can guess the possible expenses and see that the professor has access to some of Harry's fortune. Though as a Potions Master and a professor he has his own income, it would do to let Harry be allow access to something."

Andromeda stiffened and then nodded, "I can abide by your ruling."

Amelia glared at the Dursleys, "As for you, Petunia Dursley. I charge you guilty with Neglect and abuse of a minor. You denied him adequate food, shelter or medical care. Vernon, I charge you guilty with Abuse of a minor, battery and assault. I am forwarding my verdict and the evidence to the Muggle Liaison office. I am sure they will be quite pleased to hand you over to Muggle authorities. As cruel and inhuman as you are I can not in good conscience send you to Azkaban. Case dismissed." She smiled up as Harry, "Now be a good boy. I'm sure Professor Snape will take good care of you and so will young Master Malfoy. Have fun at school."

Harry smiled, "I get to stay with Papa Sev…"

"If he does as I said then I don't see why not." Amelia nodded.

Harry bounced up and down, "You're a very nice person. Draco was right. We could trust you. Thank you."

Amelia glared at the Headmaster, "I do not approve of your attempts to control my courtroom. I think placing Harry Potter with those Muggles was foolish."

"When his parents died, I knew he'd be famous, a legend. The probability of there being a Harry Potter day was too high. There would be books written about him. Every child in our world would know his name! Why it would be enough to turn any boy's head. Famous before he can walk and talk! Famous for something he doesn't even remember! Why can you see how much better off he'll be, growing up away from all that until he's ready to take it…"

"You put him there, I hope you can sleep easy knowing that your choice nearly got him killed. Good day Headmaster. Perhaps, the rumors are true. You may just be getting too old. Placing a wizard with a woman who hates them. Should have researched it better." Amelia walked off.

"I sleep just fine thank you." Albus Dumbledore muttered.
