Never Gonna Stop

The veritaserum was administered to the suspect, the normal vacuous expression taking over his features. Harry watched from outside the viewing window, his shoulders tense. He wanted to do the interview himself, but Kingsley had ordered him down.

Probably rightfully so, since Harry's fingers were twitching for his wand, even just watching outside.

Terry Boot was leading the investigation, and Harry trusted him to get the answers they needed.

"You know you don't need to be here for this, right?" Ron asked, appearing beside him, standing shoulder to shoulder with Harry. "You haven't slept in days."

Harry snorted humorlessly, because as if he was going to miss this. "Of course I have to be here."

Ron shrugged but then nodded his head. "Yeah, I guess I'd want to be here too."

…

Terry stared hard at the suspect for a moment. It always hit the Aurors harder when it was an offence against one of their own, and this time was no different.

"Did you kidnap Harry Potter's son, James?"

"Yes."

"Why did you kidnap James Potter?"

"Because Harry Potter let my son die, and I want him to feel the same pain I felt when I lost him."

"Did you intend for harm to come to James Potter?"

"I intended harm to come Harry Potter. If that meant killing the boy, then so be it. I have nothing to lose anymore, my wife is dead, my son is dead."

"Do you regret your actions?"

"No."

"Would you repeat the offense, given the chance?"

"I'm never gonna stop. As long as I'm alive, I will want Potter to experience the most pain possible. He took everything from me, and I'll take everything from him."

…

"I want him locked in the highest security section of Azkaban, and he's to be under constant guard," Harry snarled to Ron, who nodded.

"Of course, Mate. What… where are you going?"

Harry's eyes were hard when he looked back at Ron. "To see Kingsley. I'm petitioning the use of the veil. I will not have my children under threat."

…

Amos Diggory was sent through the veil after a lengthy trial of discussion from the Winzengamot. He kept his eyes on Harry the entire time he stood waiting to take his last breath.
