I originally was going to go with a female Haku but the suggestion LynnGryphon had sparked my interest. Instead it will be male Haku and Haku/Hinata. So now the pairings that are staying are: Kakashi/Iruka, Harry/Zabuza, Gaara/Sasuke, Naruto/Shino, and Haku/Hinata. If you have anyother suggestions on pairings, review and tell them to me.

"You really are a traitorous basta-" Hermione started.

"Mrs. Granger-Weasley! You will hold your tongue in my courtroom!" Amelia interrupted her.

'Great way to pit the judge against you Hermione,' Harry thought.

"Now. The charges against you Hermione Jane Granger-Weasley are (1) Use of one of the three Unforgivables, and (2) Attempted use of one of the three Unforgivables on a minor. How do you plead?"

"Innocent to both charges," Hermione said.

"Mr. Malfoy. Call your first witness."

"I call Mr. Nicholas Farbor to the stand," Draco said. Nicholas took a breath to calm himself and then walked up to the stand.

"Mr. Farbor," Draco said, "In your own words, can you describe for us what happened two and a half weeks ago on the night of November third?"

"Rachael and I had just exited the common room. We were going to ask Professor Lupin about the work we did in Charms that day. When we rounded the corner of one of the corridors, Professor Granger-Weasley was in the middle of casting the Cruciatus curse on Professor Potter's son. We startled her, so she missed hitting him. The both of us stood in front of him to protect him until Professor Potter showed up. They exchanged words and Professor Granger-Weasley started to fire spells at Professor Potter. Professor Potter cast defensive spells until Professor Granger-Weasley wore her self out, then he stunned and bound her and took her wand. He picked up is son and asked if one of us could levitate Professor Granger-Weasley. I did, and we followed him up to the Headmistresses office. After Professor Potter told her what happened, Headmistress McGonagall contacted the Aurors."

"Thank you Mr. Farbor," Draco said, "No more questions." Draco sat down and Hermione's lawyer stood. Draco sighed.

"Just great," he said to Harry, "They gave her Reginald McBitchyPants for a lawyer. I'm glad I'm not on the stand."

"Why do you call him McBitchyPants?" Harry asked.

"That's his last name," Draco replied, "literally." Harry made a face.

"Mr. Farbor," Reginald said, in a voice that reminded Harry a bit too much of Dolores Umbridge, "Does Professor Granger-Weasley seem the type to be able to cast an Unforgivable on a minor?"

"On just any minor?" Nicholas said, "No. On any minor related in anyway to Professor Potter? Yes." Reginald's eyes narrowed. This kid wasn't going to make it easy on him.

"Has Professor Granger-Weasley ever shown any indication that she would be able to use an Unforgivable on a minor?"

"Objection!" Draco called, "He's already asked that question!" Reginald glared at Draco, who glared back.

"Sustained," Amelia said, "Mr. McBitchyPants (that's gotta be hard to say and keep a straight face at the same time) ask a different question." Reginald grumbled a little before turning back to Nicholas.

"Mr. Farbor," he started. Nicholas looked him straight in the eye.

"Yes, Mr. McBitchyPants?" he asked innocently, causing some of the courtroom to crack up. Reginald's eye twitched.

"Has Professor Granger-Weasley ever shown any ability to cast an Unforgivable on a minor?"

"Objection!" Draco called again, "It's the same bloody question he's already asked twice!"

"Sustained," Amelia said again, "Mr. McBitchyPants, either ask a different question or sit down!" Reginald grumbled out a 'No more questions.' and sat down.

"Mr. Farbor, you may go sit down," Amelia said, "Mr. Malfoy. Your next witness please."

"I call Ms. Rachael Ravyn to the stand." Rachael nodded and walked to the stand.

"Ms. Ravyn. Do you have anything to add to Mr. Farbor's claims?" Draco asked.

"When Professor Granger-Weasley's curse missed and hit the wall," Rachael said, "some of the sparks hit Professor Potter's son. Other than that I have nothing else to add."

"Thank you, Ms. Ravyn," Draco said, "No more questions."

"I have no questions for this witness," Reginald added, allowing Rachael to sit down.

So who else likes Reginald's last name. Personally I kept giggling everytime I typed it, causing my dad to look at me funny. There will be three parts to the trial (meaning two more chapters of it) before the verdict. Some of you are going to hate Sirius by the end of the trial if you don't already, but that's all I'm going to say.
