Chap. 28

Usagi looked at Goblin-King Griphook, nodded, looked at Sharpnose, and nodded again. Then, she nodded, with her arms crossed against her breasts, and nodded to Ami:

"Court will recess for thirty minutes! Then, judges will hear from Defendent Dumbledor!"

"Judges have spoken!" Amelia Katherina Seraphim Snape-Mizuno called out. "Court in adjourned for thirty minutes!"

As the rest of the assembly left to digest what they had learned about Albus Dumbledor, Usagi, her family and her Senshi, and their allies gathered around the judges-bench:

"Usagi-Hime?" Rei asked her best-friend, "Are you sure of the wisdom of giving thief thirty minutes of freetime? Might he use that time to plan your death?"

"Is it wise to give Dumbadopo long-leash?" Usagi grinned slily. "Iyaa. Probably not! Want chaotic-Headmaster to throw his WORST at me! Hai. Chaos tried to distroy me, once. If she wants another try? Let her try!"

"What about Pruitt-baka?" Minako asked. "Mama-Piggie may want revenge?"

"Pruitt-buta WILL want revenge," Amelia Katherina Seraphim of Snape-Mizuno closed her eyes and grinned like a Buddha. "She will not GET revenge, demo! Not in this lifetime."

"Pruitt Molly-buta is dead." Tomoe Hotaru reported in a quiet monotone.

"She's dead?" Luna Lovegood asked, ever the reporter, "Are you sure, Sailorsaturn? If it is so, then, how did she die?"

"I do not know." Hotaru admitted. "She looked as if she was missing half her soul, and she refused to answer me. As if she was ashamed to speak. She did call out my name demo."

"Her body was found in the Jofurr-preserve." Meioh Setsuna reported, her garnet eyes carrying a haunted-look as she walked up to the assembly. "What remained of her body, anyway."

"'What remained of..'?" Minako started to ask.

"I did not know there was a 'Jofurr-preserve'?" Rei said in shock.

"DMLE established one right after Weasles were transformed into pigs!" Makoto replied. "Very new!"

"So, stray jofurr got Mama-pig?" Rei asked.

"A little of both!" Setsuna smiled darkly. "Was it 'Jofurr'? Hai. Was it 'stray'? Iiede."

Shock edged Minako's face as Rei gasped. "What you are saying is that..?"

"Jofurr are VERY-passionate beasts, hai!" Haruka answered as she and Michiru walked over and nodded. "Passionate in love! Passionate in hate, dano."

"Children remembered it was potion mother brewed that made them piglets!" Michiru added. "So? When Mollie went to preserve to harvest more blood? Children harvested her!"

"Pardon me, Miss Ten'ou?" Hermoine asked Haruka. Then she turned to Michiru. "How.. much.. of Pruitt Mollie-Sama was 'harvested', Miss Kaioh?"

"Only parts not eaten were backbone, shoulders, neck, and head!" Michiru sighed. "They were trampled and urinated on demo."

"Pardon me, Setsuna-san!" Usagi asked. "Why was Pruitt-chan in Preserve to gather blood?"

"Pruitt-baka wished revenge," Sailorpluto took a breath, "on Snape-Mizuno-Sama, and thought poisoning you and Ami-chan, and turning you into Jofurr, would not only discredit your fame? But? Would vendicate Dumbledor! Vendicate Pruitt dano."

Tsukino Shin chuckled darkly, as Hotaru lightly giggled: "Revenge was not sweet to Mama-Pig?"

"Sweet to.. piglets.. hai!" Hotaru tried not to laugh out loud, and scare any eaves-droppers.

"Demo.. why were Dementors not guarding Azkaban-prisoner?" Usagi wondered.

"Told they were needed elsewhere. Reportedly, by Dummadodo, himself?" Ikuko answered as she walked up to the bench. "Audience returns. Trial is starting, again! Come along, Setsuna-chan!"

As soon as the Great Hall was filled, again, the trial of Albus Dumbledor resumed:

"Welcome to second-portion of trail!" Tsukino Usagi announced to the Hall. "Prosecution has ended it's case. Reporters have transcibed procedings demo! Now? We shall hear from Defence! Albus Dumbledor? You may now rise to plead your case! Make it good, Puppet-Master!"

"I do not PLEAD before mere witchlings, Tsukino! Even royal-ones! Nor, do I plead before lowly Goblins!" Dumbledor rumble like unto a distant thunder. "Do you know not who I am?!"

"We know who you are, Chaos," Usagi sing-songed as though bored, "you are a puppetteer, a string-puller hidden in the shadows. But? Alas? You are in plain-sight! Hiding-place is no more."

"Damnedable witchling," Dumbledor's thunder grew, "You are just mud under my FEET! I am not a mere puppetteer! I am THE PUPPET-MASTER! I AM...!"

"Soup-stock, 'Puppet-master'!" A young-girl's voice rose from the balcony of the Great Hall. "Your bones are chew-toys for werewolves! Your sinews are vampiric dental-floss. Dumbledor? PREPARE FOR JUDGEMENT! Posse? Deputies? Stand READY!"

At the command of their leader, eleven staves took aim at Dumbledor, plus two staves from in back and to the sides of the judges.

And, Usagi grinned as she took a sip from a goblet of water.

And? Dumbledor maniacally laughed. "Do you think you CHIILDREN can BEST me?!" Albus Huffed. "I am DUMBLEDOR! The greatest wizard of ALL! Greater, even, than MERLIN!"

At this pronouncement, many gasped in horror and revulsion! Many had been thought - and praised - as the greatest SINCE Merlin, but none - not even The Deatheaters - had laid claim to being GREATER THAN Merlin!

"Greatest-BOASTER of all time!" The pink-haired girl answered the old grey-beard. "'Wizard'? Third-place? If lucky. Probably fourth-place."

"Fourth? Me? The one who DISTROYED he who WAS Valdemorte? Who HUMILIATED Grindelwald?!" Dumbledor sputtered. "You, child, do NOT know who you a deuling with!"

"Yes she does." The Senshi and Naru smiled and softly sang out.

"And, just who are you, child?" Dumbledor scoffed. "Enlighten me."

Each teen introduced themself, positioning their staff for war:

"Chiba Usagi!"

"Uwada Zoisite!"

"Kumada Jadite!"

"Kumada Kunzite!"

"Shinozake Nephrite!"

"Gurio Beryl!"

"Tsukino Suichi!"

"Potter George!"

"Potter Xeno!"

"Diggory Parvati!"

"Diggory Padme!"

Two small, yet defient, voices answered Dumbledor from where they gaurded the judges:

"Gouriev Amelia!"

"Greyswords Goury!"

"Wonderful to make your aqueintences, children!" Albus' chuckle turned into demonic laughter. "Now, I know what to carve on your tombstones! You see? I was not such a fool as to come here, unarmed! No. No. I come here gorged on rage and blood! Something even the Goblins know of! Quite well."

"'Rage'?" Amelia Katherine Seraphim Snape-Mizuno quirked an eyebrow.

"and 'blood'?" Usagi deadpanned.

"You wouldn't.." Minako hissed out.

"You couldn't.." Rei rumbled low.

"He would", Severus muttered in a bored tone.

"He could", Saeko echoed her husband's tone.

"He did. He's dead." Makoto grinned smugly. "He's damned."

"It was easy to accomplish! Feeding off their hate and rage!" Dumbledor gloated. "Simplicity, itself, actually! All I had to do was - suggest - to the greedy old sow that the best revenge on Amelia Snape-Mizuno's turning her precious babies into swine was to turn Amelia Katherine into a pig! And? To break her, further, I suggested turning Miss Tsukino into a pig, also! And? Since the DMLE was gracious enough to provid us with Jofurr? I told her the hunting would be easiest, there at the preserve! Ready game. Then - just to be fair about it? I alerted the children.. that.. they were about to be poached! Then? I just let time work for me! As it always does."

"So much like villian!" Filia sighed. "Always bragging of plan like it is fool-proof! Then, along comes fool to prove them wrong!"

"Usually," Xellos grinned with slitted eyes as he held onto Filia, "same fool who made up the plan! Come, Filia! Let us see how our granddaughter plays this out!"

"Gods! I HATE him, now!" Hermoine swore under her breath about Dumbledor. .

"Add your name to the list." Harry and Luna replied in a deadpan.

Hermoine produced a quill. "I. Think. I. Will!"

"Anyhow? It is time, I am afraid, for things to revert to how the should have stayed." Dumbledor draw forth his wand. "Imperio!"

At exactly the same time, the posse of Chiba Usagi thrust their staves, horizontally, in front of them, absorbing the curse! Then, they aimed their staves like rifles:

"REVERSO EN MEDIA!"

At the unisonned-shout, the trapped-curses flew from the staves to the original-sender of the curse.

"Return to Sender! Address unknown!" Harry, Hermoine, Luna, Cedric, Parvati, Padme, Seako, and Severus started to sway and clap in rhythm. "No such number! No such zone!"

"DISSIPARE!" Dumbledor cried out hastily, causing the curse to vanish. Then he aimed his wand, again:

"IMPERIO! IMPERIO! IMPERIO! IMPERIO! IMPERIO! IMPERIO! IMPERIO! IMPERIO! IMPERIO!"

This time, the posse shouted a different counter-curse, shorter, with more of an impact:

"REVERBURUM!"

And? Albus' curses now bounced back in multiples!

"If you WISH to play in ouy minds, AGAIN, Warlock?" Nephrite roared like unto a bear. "LEARN ANOTHER GAME!"

"Dis-sipa-re.." Dumbledor stammered out, before the Imperious took it full toll on his mind. Then, as the curse, again, vanished, the aged wizard breathed out, heavily. "You.. almost won.. Moon-child. Almost. Hehe. You.. and you.. mother. May you both walk the darkest Hell. Hahaha. But.. Ahh.. You will not win! For? As every great warlock! I.. still have.. a card to play." The bearded scarecrow then rose to his full hieght. "I still have .. allies .. not of this world. Demon - Spectres. Dementors. COME FORTH!"

Dementors filled the room, as most of the assembled witches and wizerds and guests started to panic! King Robert of Magical Britian and Ireland withdrew his wand and started to shield his distant-cousin, King Charles of Great Britian and Northern Ireland.

Meanwhile, Usagi and the two Goblin-Judges were calmly observing the scene.

Then, as a Dementor seemed to ominously hover over every magical being in the Great Hall, a flute softly seemed to blow, flowing like the breeze. Hypnotically, it called out to each Dementor.

And? Each and every Dementor in the Great Hell responded!

"Ma.. Maa? Ma.. Maa? Maa.. Maaaa.."

Then, slowly, each Dementor turned its attention to the flutist, a woman barefoot, save for a silver band around her right anklet, her dark green hair seemingly billowing in an otherwise still hall, much like a Dementor. With her set Usagi's mother.

"Ma.. Maaaa..." The Dementors softly cried out, pleading as the flouted toward the flutist. "Ma.. Maaaa..."

Tears formed in the eyes of the assemblage in the Hall, as each witch and wizard, and guest, present, began to comprehand what this scene before them meant.

Every witch and wizard present, that is, save one:

"No! Nay! Never!" Dumbledor frantically screamed. "Come back to ME! I am the one who took you and raised you! Not that WOMAN! Come back! Come back, damn you! I am...!"

"The one who STOLE these children from their mother-goddess!" Tsukino Ikuko rose from her seat and shouted. "As you tried to steal Amelia Katherina from her parents, and as you tried to steal Usagi from Kenji and me! Hai. It did not happen as you planned demo! Daughters are still with parents, and 'Dementors' are back with Setsuna! Or? Will be! As soon as my pet pipes open the doorway home."

Setsuna courtsied, "Arigatounissai, Serenity-Sama!"

Sailorpluto touched the flute to her lips, again, and four ascending-notes rang out. And? A curcular-doorway seemed to appear in the space that was the Doorway to Gryffendor's Tower!

Dumbledor, seeing a way out of the Goblin's stew-pot, tried to follow the Dementors through the spatial-doorway!

Tried to.

"Maa.. Maaaa.. Mama.." The Dementors seemed to cry-out low. "So.. tired.."

"Kaasan will sing you to sleep." Setsuna whispered. "Brothers and sisters will be happy to see you return. Family has been sad, without you, too long. Go. Return."

Then, as she shepherded the last Dementor home, Setsuna turned a sad albeit neutral face to Albus Dumbledor:

"Joji have been too long from family. Past bedtime dano."

Dumbledor's face seemed to drain of all color.

"Please, Mister Custer!" Severus Snape sneered and sang. "I don't wanna go!"

"ForWARD!" Saeko cheerily called out. "HO!"

Sailorpluto then blew three sets of four descending notes to Dumbledor:

"Besides? Dumbadoro have dinner-date with stew-pot! Must not be late? Miss friends?"

"Dinner-date.. friends..", Albus spoke, rather entranced. Then, the "Greatest Wizard since Merlin" returned to face the judges:

"I am ready.. for dinner."

"Yes.." Griphook hissed as not only judge, but King of the Goblins of Brittania. "The Dumbledor Albus has, here, been tried and convicted under Goblin-Law! And, under the laws of the Lunari. Yes. Dumbledor Albus? You had the change to explain, or excuse, your actions! Yet, you have let your actions - as foul as they are - speak for you! I - HOPE - your life will be an example to future-others of your kind. Or, what NOT to be and do! Take him to the soup-pot! This Court is - adjourned."

Tsukino Usagi looked around the hall. And, she listened. She listened for the howls of protests and cries of leniency for the former-Headmester.

There were none. Dumbledor's supporters - his "armies" - were nowhere to be seen or heard.

Then, she turned to face Amelia Katherina Seraphim of Snape-Mizuno, and held out her hands to the blunette:

"Come, My Ami!" Usagi said, "Let's get home."

At Usagi's smile, and her six little words, Ami ran and fell into her Owner's arms.

And, she cried:

"Usagi!" Ami cried. "I'm tired. I'm weak. For what he did - to you - to me ano - to my - family - I wanted to kill him! I really did! I could not demo! Naze?"

"If you had killed the black-soul, you would have become as black as he, nazanara! As black as I would have turned, if I had killed him. Even though our actions would have been justified. Come! Let us get to our families! They worry, even when we have won this night! "

As Usagi walked, and Amelia Katherina Seraphim shadowed, to the former-Gryffendor hallway, the Tsukinos and Snapes were cheering and applauding the Judge and Prosecutor!

And, Xellos and Filia were grinning like two well-fed felines.

"Come, My Ami-chan!" Usagi whispered as she backoned Amelia Katherina Seraphim to her lap. "Life will never be so hard, again! I promise!"

And Ami cooed and purred as she melted against Usagi as the odangoed-one licked and nibbled lightly against against her ear!

Suddenly, the trance Ami was well-under was shattered by a small, startled cry:

"Ahhh!"

"Nani-yo?" Usagi asked as she and Ami swiveled their heads toward the direction of they scream. "Are the Goblins, already, preparing Dummadoro Soup?"

"Iyaa, my Owner!" Amelia Katherina Seraphim seductively smiled. "That was not scream of pain, just cry of fear. Hai. Head-manace just recognized cronies in soup-pot!"

This was followed, moment later, by a greater, longer cry:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

"THAT!" Usagi's eyes and smile lit up. "Was scream of pain!"

"Hai," Ami closed her eyes, grinned, and nodded, "it was."

About that that, an old shriveled penis and set of testicles were tossed out into the Hall.

"I am part-doragon," Usagi sighed, "I WILL NOT eat something as aged and decrepid as that worm demo!"

"Do not think tousan even has antidote for worm that diseased!" Amelia Katherina Seraphim chirped, merrily.

"THIS Succubus would not even touch THAT worm!" Minako recoiled at the sight and smell of the tossed-gentalia!

"Good!" Rei nodded, then whispered in a worried tone, "Do not think Jiisan even has remedies for diseases that worm holds?"

"I WOULD not eat that worm!" Filia sniffed.

"My FILIA has a more-refined TASTE than your adverage doragon!" Xellos chuckled darkly.

"Hai!" Filia purred as she wrapped herself tightly around Xellos. "Taste is - VERY - exclusive! As my Mizuko will re-learn, later!"

"Pardon me, Your Highness!" A regal-looking vampiress appeared at the table. "But? Now the the trial of 'The thief' is over, and - soup will be served, shortly? My I take a couple of - guests - to dinner?"

"Ara! Brienne Olofsdottir!" Usagi turned around to face the aged vampire. "Wish to take Butler ano Chambermaid to supper? Brienne-Sama may take. Hai. Bring back before dawn demo!"

"Or coarse.. Your Highness!" The Vampiress bowed.

"Must be presentable to parents dano!" Usagi warned, and Ami giggled.

"They shall come back.. presentable.. Your Highness!" Brienne smiled.

And the Senshi laughed!

And Lady Brienne, Umino and Naru left for their dinner-date.

"Pardon me... Your Highnesses?" Minerva McGonigall, as barefoot as Usagi and Amelia Katherina Seraphim, presented herself with a bow before the two young witches. "But? As new Headmistress of Hogwarts, the teachers have asked me to ask you if the Senshi will help in guiding the school? For the forseeable-future?"

Usagi hummed in response, tapping her chin. "Let us think. Let us think! Amelia Katherine? We should discuss this."

"Hai!" Amelia Katherina Seraphim happily chirped, "Much to discuss! Much to discuss! Kukuku! Gather full Senshi!"

Soon, the Senhi were huddled around mugs of coffee and cocoa:

"How many more years we have in this school?" Usagi asked.

"Five, after we end this year!" Minako answered. "I think?"

"Hai!" Makoto answered. "Seven-year school."

"That is... just for us." Usagi said sagaciously. "Friends stay in one year after us! Shin ano Hotaru enter Hogarts when old enough!"

"Ut-oh!" Rei and Minako quietly sang out. "Trouble's back in town."

And Severus and Saeko laughed!

"Ami-Sama?" Makoto grinned. "Trouble-Twins have been in your music, again!"

And Severus and Saeko laughed until they lost their breath, along with Harry, Hermoine, Luna, Cedric, Padme, and Parvati!

"We MUST think of joji demo!" Ami said, as she caressed her's and Ryo's son-to-be.

"Hai!" Rei responded, caressing her Yuichirou's son-to-be. "Must be here to pick up pieces of Hogwarts! Kukukuku!"

"Must ask?" Makoto asked Amelia Katherina Seraphim. "How long will Snape Saeko-Sama be here? As school-nurse?"

"Okaasan says her place is with Otousan!" Ami responded. "Wherever he goes? She goes!"

"Has been discussed! Now, to decide!" Usagi announced. "Do we stay to help Hogwarts, if needed?"

"'IF needed'?" Haruka asked rhetorically.

"WHEN needed!" Michiru, Setsuna, and Ikuko answered as one, trying not to laugh.

Each Senshi raised her hand, plus Ikuko and Kenji:

"WE STAY!"

"If Tsukinos stay?" Filia stated.

"WE stay!" Xellos said proudly.

"As do we!" Lina, Gourry, Amelia Wil Tesla, and Zelgadis shouted.

"McGoniga-Sensei?" Usagi announced to the Headmistress, "Decision is make! We will stay for foretellable-future! Hai! Senshi will help Hogwarts!"

"And? For now? Your Highnesses?" Andromeda Tonks asked.

"For now?" Usagi aswered Andromeda, "We get some sleep! Tomorrow is Saturday? Go to get ice-cream! Me and Ami need to celebrate! Hai!"
