Daughter of Black
Chapter 4
Sirius apparated away with a 'POP', and Molly retreated back into the kitchen where the children were being entertained by Arthur. "Ronald!" She yelled up the stairs. A few seconds later, a boy with red hair and freckles appeared at the top of the stairs. "Yes mum?" Asked the little boy. "Ronald, i have some kids your age here for the night. I would like you to show them a good time, and introduce them to your siblings." Said Molly, leaving no room for arguments.
The boy made a face that clearly said he didn't want to, but he did it anyway. He did not want to feel the wrath of his mother when she was angry. As soon as he saw Harry though, he changed instantly changed his tune. "You're Harry Potter!" The boy exclaimed loudly, causing both Harry and Lizzy to flinch. Ron and Harry got along until Ron saw Lizzy playing with a toy quaffle. He immediately flipped out and pulled her dark hair, causing the girl to cry out in pain. This caused Harry to push Ron, causing Ron to lose his balance, and fall into his toy chest.
Molly walked in and asked what happened. Both boys spoke over each other. "Silenco!" She yelled. The boy's mouth's were still moving, but no sound came out. She turned to Lizzy and kindly asked her what happened. "I didn't mean to do anything wrong, i just wanted to play with the ball and Ron got cross and pulled my hair. That made Harry angry, and he pushed Ron into the toy chest." She said through sniffles. Molly rounded on her son. "Ronald Bilius Weasley, how dare you! I asked you to show our guests a good time, and instead you harm an innocent girl for playing with your toys!?" She yelled.
"But Mom, that's my brand new quaffle from my birthday." Squeaked the boy. That just made Molly puff up even further with rage. She quickly grabbed the quaffle, shrank it, and placed it in her apron pocket. "There, now you won't have this back for a week."She said angrilly. Ron looked like he was about to argue, but he thought better of it, crossing his arms to his chest instead.
Molly turned to Harry, who cowered away immediately. He just knew a beating was about to commence. He was surprised however, when Molly's expression softened considerably. "I'm not mad at you dear, you were only trying to protect Elizabeth." she said kindly. Harry relaxed a little. "Why don't you go play with Fred and George, and Lizzy can play with Ginny." She said.
The rest of the night went as smoothly as it could, considering Ronald was throwing a screaming tantrum in his room. Harry really liked the twins. They taught him how to prank people. Lizzy and Ginny became fast friends while they played with magical Fairy princess dolls, whose dresses magically grew or shrank depending on what the child wanted. they also changed colors as well.
Molly came in at half past eight, telling the children they needed to get to bed. Halfway through the night, Molly heare shrieks coming from down the hall. It turned out to be Lizzy having a nightmare. "NO UNCLE VERNON, NOT AGAIN!" She yelled out frantically, tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. Molly cast a calming charm on the child, and her screaming ceased.
Lizzy opened her eyes to see the nice lady from the night before standing over her. But at that moment, she asked "Are you an angel?" Molly chuckled, and Lizzy laid back onto her pillow, falling back into a dreamless sleep. The next morning, Sirius returned. The children felt relief flood through themselves, as they ran and hugged the man. Sirius, can i speak with you for a few moments?"
Sirius followed Molly into the sitting room while the children said their goodbyes to their new friends. "I need to know exactly what happened to those kids." She said flatly. So Sirius explained everything, even down to Vernon Dursley raping his little girl. By the time he finished, Molly was seething."How dare they!" She growled, fully prepared to go to the Ministry herself and "Crucio' the Dursley's herself.
The day of the trial for the Dursley's finally arrived. Sirius again had left the children with Molly so that he could attend the trial. Vernon and Petunia Dursley were chained in the middle of the courtroom, disgusted at having to be in such close proximity to so many wizards. Sirius took his seat with the rest of the Wizamagot, and the trial commenced.
Dumbledore spoke. Vernon and Petunia Dursley, you are charged with the abuse of two Wizarding children, including the rape of one. How do you plead?" "Not guilty. Those freaks are liars, and you shouldn't trust a single thing they say." said Vernon pompously, thinking the court would take pity on them and let them go. No such luck however, when Dumbledore asked Madam Pomphrey to provide the results of the children's scan a few days prior.
Dumbledore did a spell that magnified the document for the whole court to see. The Dursley's faces went a deathly pale as Dumbledore read everything out loud for the court. Everyone in the room got angrier and angrier as the list progressed. It took the Headmaster a full ten minuted to reach the end of the list.
"At this time, the court has decided to administer a few drops of veritiserum to each of the accused." Said Sirius gleefully. The Veritiserum was administered to each of the Dursley's. "What is your name?" The auror asked the question to ensure the serum was working properly. "My name is Vernon John Dursley."he said monotonously. The auror repeated the question with Mrs. Dursley, receiving the same reaction telling him the serum was working.
"Did you Abuse Harry James Potter and Elizabeth Renee Black?" Asked Dumbledore. "Yes i did." Said Vernon, the same monotone voice. "And did you continually rape Elizabeth Renee Black?" Asked Dumbledore. "Yes I did." Mr. Dursley said. "Why did you do these things to innocent children?" Asked Amelia Bones, her face full of rage and sadness. "Because they're freaks who don't deserve the food i gave them, or the clothes that they wore on their backs." Said Dursley."
"You mean these clothes?" asked Dumbledore, bringing up a projection of the children in the rags that they wore when Sirius picked them up. There was a collective gasp when everybody saw the photo. "Was more than those ungrateful brats deserved." Said Mr. Dursley in an unfeeling sort of way.
Dumbledore turned to Petunia. "Did you abuse the children?" He asked the bony, horse faced woman?" "Not as much as Vernon, but yes." she said. "And, did you ever try to intervene when your husband was raping an innocent little girl?" Dumbledore asked. "Of course not, the little Whore deserved everything she got." Said Petunia. "The court would like to convene for a few minutes for deliberation." Said Dumbledore.
Ten minutes later, the wizards returned to their seats. Vernon John Dursley and Petunia Dawn Dursley, I hereby sentence you to life in Azkaban." Dumbledore said, banging the gavel down on the podium. The Dursley's were hauled away, kicking and screaming about the unfairness of it all. Sirius felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders when he left the courtroom, and apparated back to the Weasley's.
Harry and Lizzy were having a wonderful time with Ginny and the twins. Ron and Harry did not like each other at all. Ron had decided to taunt harry at every turn. So, the twins and Ginny decided to help Harry and Lizzy play a prank on the boy.
Harry, after learning that Ron was deathly afraid of spiders, decided to put a harmless garden spider on Ron's pillow while he used the loo. When the boy returned, he let out an ear piercing scream, and ran to tell on them. They never got in trouble though because Mrs. Weasley said "This house is full of spiders, it probably sat on you're pillow on it's own." By the time Sirius arrived to pickup the kids, they were in antics at their antics.
