A/N: There you have it! A day in court! I called this chapter "Oh Happy Day," even though Minerva is not singing it to Harry. I really do not know how the court system works in Britain so I had it set up in the American way (sorry about that!). I sort of know how it runs in America and I thought that it would be interesting to see the Dursley sweat in court at the request of one reviewer! Thanks! I was running out of ideas!

The next day, Harry spent it in bed. Minerva kept him entertained by playing games and reading books with him. She also made him spaghetti hoops and got him fresh water.

At noon the day, Albus popped in.

"Minerva," said Albus. "How is he?" "Getting better. His temperature is down from 40 to 38," said Minerva.

"Good, good," said Albus. "I brought him a book. It's called Peter Pan. It's a Muggle book, but there is a lot of magic and stuff in it."

"I think he will like that," said Minerva.

Albus and Minerva went into the room and read to Harry. Harry fell asleep before the sixth chapter. While he was sleeping, Minerva and Albus went into the living room to talk.

"Min," said Albus as he conjured up a tea set. "How are you holding up?" "Good," smiled Minerva. "Harry finally came clean with his nightmares."

"That's great!" said Albus. "It looks like they might stop soon. You remember when Severus had these nightmares?" Minerva nodded. "Well, maybe you could get more from Severus if Harry talks to him." "Severus never talks about them to anybody except for Poppy and myself," stated Minerva. "This is a touchy subject for him, you know that. His screams were worse than Harry's. I will never forget having to tell him that his own father killed his mother with her own wand."

"Nobody will ever forget that," said Albus. "You were so good to him."

"So were you," said Minerva. "You talked to him and told him how your mother really died."

"Now that was hard," said Albus.

Then Harry woke up and started coughing. Minerva ran into her bedroom and held the bucket in front of him. Harry continued blowing chunks into the bucket.

"That's a good boy," said Minerva as she continued rubbing circles around his back.

"Minerva, there is something I should tell you," sighed Albus. "Harry has to attend the trial."

"No!" said Minerva.

"He has to, he was there and he had it done to him," said Albus.

"But this will traumatize him even more," said Minerva.

Harry stopped vomiting and looked at Minerva.

"Mum," said Harry. "What are you and Uncle Albus talking about?"

"Darling, those people you used to live with may be going to prison, but he said that he needs you to testify, which is tell the people what happened there," said Minerva.

Harry looked at his mum and then he looked away. "Will they go away? Will the nightmares stop?" "Maybe," said Albus with a twinkle in his eye. "And I will be your lawyer. I do have five degrees and one of them is in law from the Muggle world. All we have to do is pretend to be Muggles for a couple days and then we can come back here and be Wizards and Witches again, won't that be fun?" "No," said Harry. "I already pretended to be normal for seven years. I don't want to go back to that world again."

"Harry, I will be there," said Minerva.

"So will Aunt Poppy and Uncle Severus," said Albus. "Only, we will call Aunt Poppy Dr. Pomphrey, Millicent Bulstrode will be child welfare, and Uncle Severus a pharmacist."

"Albus, could you get all of that on document?" asked Minerva.

"Of course," Albus said. "I should go make the legal documents for the judge. The trial is set for a week before Halloween."

Albus left the room and Minerva cuddled up with Harry.

A week before Halloween, the Dursley's went to trial in the Muggle world. Minerva, Albus, Poppy, Severus, Millicent, and Harry were wearing Muggle attire and Albus gave them roles.

"Remember Poppy, you are known as Dr. Pomphrey. In this world, healers are called doctors," said Albus and Poppy nodded. "Severus, you are here for moral support and the pharmacist, you know, a Muggle who makes drugs, and Millicent, you are with child welfare. I am here because I have a degree in law and I can be a counselor."

The judge looked down from her podium and saw Petunia and Vernon enter the room. Dudley was sitting in the chair behind them.

"Mummy! Daddy!" cried Dudley. Petunia tried to go over and comfort him, but the bailiff would not let her.

"Counselors may approach the bench," said the judge. Albus and the Dursley's shyster lawyer, MacDoodle approached the bench.

Dudley looked over at Harry and gave him an evil look. Harry looked back at him and stuck his tongue out at him. Then Dudley gave him the middle finger and Harry started waving his hands to do wandless magic and Severus slapped Harry's hands and told him that he could get in trouble if he purposely performed magic in public in the presence of Muggles.

"But he gave me the bird," said Harry. Severus looked at Dudley and made his nose slightly longer. Harry started laughing, but Severus told him to can it. Than the trial began.

"Your Honor," said Albus. "This boy, Harry James Potter, was verbally, mentally, and physically abused by the defendants Petunia and Vernon Dursley. The Dursleys had custody of Harry Potter from when he was one year old to when he was almost eight years old. Right now, he is under the custody of Minerva McGonagall of London, England where she has a respectable career as a professor at Hogwarts, one of the finest institutes, might I add, and has a stable environment and gives Harry Potter all of the love, provisions, attentions, and necessities he needs. McGonagall has also told me that Harry Potter has nightmares and they usually evolve around the Durlseys torture and abuse."

Albus sat down.

"Your opening statement, counselor?" said the judge.

"Yer Honor," said MacDoodle. "My clients have been falsely accused of abusing Harry James Potter. The boy is a liar and he has a habit of lying. He is a liar and spoilt. He is just mad because his parents are dead and Dudley's parents are here. Now, he wants to make his own cousin an orphan."

"The prosecutor may call his first witness," said the judge. Albus called Minerva to the stand.

"Do you swear to tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help ye God?" said the bailiff as he made Minerva swore into court.

"I do," said Minerva confused. Who is their God?

"Ms. McGonagall, how did you come about finding that young, helpless, Harry James Potter was abused?" asked Albus.

"I found out from my cousin, Arabella Figg," said Minerva.

"How did she know?"

"She lives next door to them. She sometimes babysat Harry. She said that he had welts the size of…of lemons on his arms and backs," she cried.

"There, there," said Albus as he gave her a handkerchief. "How did you meet Harry Potter?"

"I meet him one night at Arabella Figg's house. Harry was badly beaten. I looked at him and fell apart. Your honor, I knew his mother very well before she died. I practically adopted her since the defendant disowned her after her parents died. I loved Lily Evens like she was my own daughter. To see her son like that, really broke my heart."

"But how did you gain custody of him?" asked Albus.

"Millicent Bulstrode, the child welfare lady," said Minerva. "She helped me get custody of Harry Potter. She is also looking for a suitable home for Dudley."

"Why aren't you taking Dudley in?" asked Albus.

"Because he was also involved with the abuses," said Minerva. "Arabella said that she would see him beat the living daylights out of Harry in the front lawn."

"Your witness counselor," Albus said as MacDoodle went to the stand.

"Ms. McGonagall, you live London England, is that correct?" asked the lawyer. Minerva nodded. "How did you meet young Harry James Potter?" "Through my cousin, Arabella Figg."

"Did you kidnap him?" asked MacDoodle.

"What I did was not kidnapping!" snapped Minerva. "What I did was rescue the lad from the Dursleys!"

"I see," said the lawyer as he looked away. Minerva studied him and then he turned around and faced Minerva. "No further questions."

Minerva stepped down as Harry's primary teacher, Mrs. Figfart was called to the stand. The morbidly obese woman came up to the stand and swore herself in.

"Now Mrs. Figfart, did you notice anything about Harry Potter in your classroom, which was not normal?" asked MacDoodle.

"He had bruises all over his arms. When I would ask Mrs. Dusley about them, she would say they were from falling out of trees," said Mrs. Figfart. "But I know that that man over there did this to him, poor Harry." Then Vernon stood up. "THIS IS OUTRAGIOUS! THAT LITTLE WHELP DESERVED IT!" "Counselor, tell your client if he acts out of order he will be removed and this case will be dismissed," said Judge.

The questions went on and on forever. Millicent went up and said when she met Minerva and Harry, Harry was still timid to talk to her and he was afraid that Minerva would discover that he was freak because of what the Dursleys did to him.

Then Poppy went up and testified about the bruises, broken bones, and everything the Dursleys did to him.

Next, Severus went up and told them about the drugs he had to "prescribe" to Harry to help him heal.

"Children's Advil," said Severus.

Then the Dursleys went up to testify. First Petunia and then Vernon.

Petunia had a crying act that she obviously concocted with her lawyer.

"I loved little Harry James Potter like he was my own," she fake sobbed. "Yes, we had to discipline him, but we did not beat him to a pulp." Albus asked her some hard questions, like the ones about her sister Lily and how she died and why Petunia never kept in touch with her after their parents died.

"She was a freak!" Petunia blurted out. Then she told them that all of the witnesses from Minerva's attorney were wizards and so was Minerva and her lawyer.

"That's enough!" said the judge as he banged his gravel. "Next witness!"

Then Vernon went up to the stand. Albus questioned him and Vernon said that Harry was mentally ill and caused his wife to go into hysterics.

Finally, Harry Potter went up to the stand. He was afraid to testify, but when he looked at Minerva, she gave him a smile.

"The Dursleys were mean! They locked me in a closet under the stairs!" Harry stated.

"You lying little son of a b-," Vernon started to say, but was interrupted by the judge.

"Enough!" boomed the judge. "The court finds in favor of Minerva McGonagall and Harry Potter. As for you Vernon and Petunia Dursley, you two are to spend twenty years in prison for child abuse and neglect and your son, Dudley will be placed in foster care. Case dismissed."

The judge banged the gravel and Dudley ran up to his parents. "Mummy! Daddy!" Dudley cried. The bailiff pulled the Dursleys away from Dudley. Then Millicent took Dudley and placed him with a foster family in Wales.

"Well Harry, it's over!" cried Minerva as she gave Harry a tight squeeze. "Son, looks like we are going to be a family for a long time!"

"Yay!" cheered Harry.

All of the wizards, except for Millicent, went back to the Wizarding world.

"Halloween is coming soon," said Minerva. "Harry, let's go to Hogsmead and get you a costume."

"A costume? What's that?" asked Harry.

"It's an outfit, or in your case, disguise that you wear on Halloween," Minerva explained. They went to Lovett's Costume and more store and looked at all of the pretty costume.

"I like this one," said Harry as he picked out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume. "I could be Leonardo!"

"Okay," smiled Minerva, who was still trying to understand this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle phase Harry was going through. He had the pajamas and he had the action figures, but it was still not making sense to her.

They met up with Albus and went to Bertie Bott's Candy Store and got Ice Cream and Lemon Sherbets.

"These are for the Harlot and I later," Albus whispered to Minerva. Minerva gave him an evil look.

A/N: Harlot joke! Yay!!
