Chapter 6 The meeting.
"Alexandra Elizabeth Stone Dumbledore, you have called this meeting to prove that you have reformed a Death eater, is that true?"
"Yes Minster."
"Well we would all like to hear what you have to say then."
"First off i must ask that most of the governs of the board put aside there hate for this person an truly listen to what i have to say. It is for this reason that will with hold his name until I'm finished. After becoming Headmistress about a week in i received a letter asking me to meet with said letter was brought to me by a Hawk that is know to the School,it had been seen there since Harry an Ron' first day. That bird was a spy for the man i have brought here today." She stopped as everyone started to mumble.
"Quiet please." Albus demanded.
"I know anything i say will be hard to believe so i have put to gather some memories i wish to show you." Alexandra said turning as the doors opened an Draco brought in a Pensive.
"There you go." He smiled sitting on the table in front of her.
"Thank you. In this pensive are memories of my conversations with the ex- Death Eater." Pulling her wand she placed it in the pensive, giving it a stir she pulled her wand cast the memories in the air to play like a movie.
Of course they could not see the man in the memories an his voice was deeper then it really was, but the could hear both parties clearly. She watched them as they watched what was happening in front of them. When it was done the memories fell back into the pensive.
"Alexandra you made him relive his crimes?" Ron asked her.
"I did."
"An his reaction was his remorse real?" Minerva asked.
"It was. It pain his deeply as you saw his pain brought him to his knees. He bagged me to stop an he cried. He lived with those thoughts everyday, everyday he was in his own hell."
"An you truly believe if not for his son he would have left anyway?" Severus asked.
"Who knows." She shrugged. Can you truly tell us if not for Lilly that you would have left?" She asked him.
"We have heard your case, dose he have anything to say for himself?" The Minster asked.
"Yes he dose." She said turning as once again the doors opened.
The whole room exploded into voices an gasped as Lucius walked into the room.
"What is the Meaning of this, Lucius Malfoy is Dead!" The Minister yelled.
"You can't have us believe he's reformed!" Someone else yelled.
"Please listen?" Alexandra pleaded yelling over the noise. "Let him speak please."
"I know many of you are parents an can understand why i did what i did. My son's safety was an is the only thing matters to me. I regret every soul i hurt to keep him safe, but i had no choice. As you've heard i could have had Alexandra Dumbledore killed if not worse Voldemort would have reward me great to know that Albus had a child, the same goes with Severus an Albus. I knew everything that went on in that school an i keep it to myself. I keep that information because i wanted the right side to win." Lucius stated.
"An how do you feel about as your friend s call them, Mudbloods?" Fudge asked him.
"I don't like them but i do not wish them all dead."
"You expect us to believe that?"
"Why not, you don't like Severus but you believe him." He pointed out.
"Severus has Albus vouching for him."
"An Lucius has me." Alexandra stated.
"Well if Lucius would step out side with his son we can discuss what we will do." Albus told them.
"Do you have an ideal how much danger you were in?"
"None, i took his wand. And as he pointed out if he wanted to harm me he could have when i was just a child." She replied.
"He tried to kill us."
"He tired to kill Ginny, he stud by while Bellatrix Lestrange tortured Hermione!" Ron shouted.
"What you have done! If you where in is shoes, if it was your son or daughter, your mother or father. Would you not have done the same thing?" she asked.
"You spent all this time with him alone?" Severus asked
"Yes, an as you saw there a moment he wanted to take me, the man we came to fear wouldn't have thought twice about taking what he wanted. But Lucius didn't he sent me away instead."
"Alex, deep down in your heart do you truly believe he's of no danger to anyone?" Harry asked her.
"Yes i do."
"An this as nothing to do with the strand relationship you once had with your own father?"
"That's why i helped. But i would not stand behind him if i truly did not believe him to be a changed man."
"Then i believe you." Harry told her surprising everyone.
"I don't trust him but i do trust you Alex." Ron added with a nodded.
"You have my full support." Albus told her.
"And mine as well." Minerva smiled.
"Is there anyone who doesn't believe Lucius Malfoy is a changed man?" Everyone looked around but not a hand went up, sighting Fudge looked to Alexandra. "He's your responsibly now."
Alexandra nodded an the doors were opened again letting the Malfoy men in.
"Lucius Malfoy, the Ministry has heard your case an has passed judgment. Will you accept the verdict?"
"I will Minster."
"You have been found guilty of being a Death Eater."
Draco nearly fell as Lucius looked to Alexandra who nodded to him to keep listening as he held his son up.
"Do to the circumstances of your case, we will not be sending you to Azkaban. You will how ever hand your wand over to Miss Alexandra for a the term of Five years, you will also in this time report to Alexandra once a month. If we find you have returned to your old way you will be sent to Azkaban at once." Fudge told him.
"Lucius." Phoenix called to him. "Please pull back your sleeve an show me your Dark mark."
Walking over to her he did as she asked, closing her eyes she placed her wand on his arm. Lucius eyes widen as the mark faded more until it was gone.
Opening her eyes she smiled at him. "Now you are a free man."
Lucius didn't waste a moment as he grabbed her into his arms a kissed before letting her go. "I will forever be in your debt Alexandra Dumbledore."
"This calls for a party." Albus smiled.
"Albus i think that's Alex's line now." Minerva laughed.
"Yes, a Party at Hogwarts all are invited." She smiled as Lucius pulled her into a hug.
