'Thoughts'

[Kitten speech]

Trial Continues

"You must pick a person to question you." Fudge told Dumbledore.

"Of course. I chose Elphias Doge." He said.

"Come up here then." The minister said.

Doge stood up and went to the table Dumbledore was sitting at. Dumbledore then went to the stand. He was confused when no one came over for him to take the vow.

"Due to the severity of some of the charges against you, you will be given veritaserum." Fudge informed him.

"I object!" He yelled.

"You can't. You have been charged with treason and line theft. We are legally obligated to use veritaserum on you." He smirked.

"No!" He gasped.

"Oh yes. Bring the healer in." He ordered.

"Yes sir." An auror nodded.

The auror left and soon returned with the healer. She checked him over and after a struggle with Dumbledore she gave him the potion. She gave him the test questions before looking at Fudge.

"It's working."

"Good. You may ask the questions first, Lord Doge." He said.

"T-thank you." He walked up to him. "You care for the wizarding world, correct?"

"No." He answered.

Doge was shocked. He had always believed his friend had broken the laws when it benefited the wizarding world. Now he was at a loss as to what to ask. He was one of the few that was surprised. The others all knew the man did things that benefited himself.

"No further questions." He quickly sat down.

"You may ask your questions, madam Bones."

"Thank you." She went over to the man. "You once planned to get rid of the muggles with Gellert Grindelwald, correct?"

"Correct." He answered, causing many to gasp.

"Why?"

"A group of boys saw my sister using magic and attacked her. She was traumatized and her magic became unpredictable. My dad went to jail for getting justice. I wanted all the muggles to pay."

"Why did the plan change?" She was going to ask if they were lovers but knew it was irrelevant and focused on the crimes.

"My sister accidentally killed our mum during a tantrum. I was made to go back to take care of my younger siblings. I didn't want to. I felt my sister should have been put down since she would no longer have a normal life. Gellert was appalled. He tried to stop me. A huge fight broke out between Gellert, Aberforth, and I. My brother doesn't know what I was planning. He believed that Gellert was there to take me back. During that fight my sister died. I was the one to do it. I purposely aimed for her. No one else knows. Gellert and Aberforth don't know I did it. They couldn't tell." Many gasped and Aberforth was forced out so that he didn't kill his brother.

"What happened after that?"

"I realized that how my sister died wasn't the best plan. I still couldn't continue with our plans. Gellert wasn't going to. I drugged him. I figured that I could take him down and get some fame from that. Luckily Gellert didn't notice. After that one dose he went about killing muggles and terrorizing the magical world." He said.

"Did you wait until the whole wizarding world was afraid of him to take him down?" She asked.

"Yes."

"To gain more fame?"

"Yes."

"Why did you keep him alive?" She had no idea and no one could get to the man.

"He was my lover once. I spend my free time with him. He resists, even now, but I fuck him until it's time to leave."

Many looked at the man in disgust. Not only was Gellert drugged but he was being raped until the man was arrested. Amelia knew she wasn't supposed to ask the next question but she didn't care.

"How do you enter his jail cell?"

"A drop of my blood on the ward will open it up."

"I want a vial of his blood withdrawn and Grindelwald taken to a hospital." Fudge ordered.

"Yes sir." The healer said before taking the blood.

She handed the vial over to an auror. He left soon after. They then looked back at Dumbledore. Amelia asked her next question.

"During your time as the transfiguration professor the Chamber of Secrets was open, correct?"

"Correct."

"A student was murdered. Do you know who killed her?"

"Yes."

"Rubeus Hagrid was blamed, correct?"

"Correct."

"Who blamed him?"

"Thomas Riddle."

"What happened?" She asked.

"Riddle stunned Hagrid after his pet spider got away and brought him to Headmaster Dippet. Hagrid was expelled but not arrested since there was no proof. I convinced Dippet to hire him as the grounds keeper."

"Do you believe Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets then?"

"No."

"Did you know who did it?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Thomas Riddle."

"Did you know that at the time?"

"Yes." He said, making many gasps in shock and horror.

"How long?"

"Since the first attack."

"And you allowed it to continue?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I knew he was on the path to becoming a dark lord and I was allowing it to continue so that I could take him down. I wanted all that fame since mine was dwindling."

"How did you know?"

"The first time I met him he admitted to being able to talk to snakes and that he could hurt people if he wanted to. I took some blood and confirmed he was Slytherin's heir."

"Thomas Riddle was an orphan that lived in an orphanage, correct?"

"Correct."

"Did he tell you about the abuse and neglect he received there?"

Amelia was grateful that she had done some searching during that time. She had found a man that had once lived in the orphanage at the same time as RIddle. He was a few years younger than Riddle and he remembered his days at the orphanage well. Amelia was horrified with what she learned.

"Yes."

"Did you do anything about it?"

"No." That made many angry.

"Why?"

"He was the heir to Slytherin. I didn't want him learning about it. The brat was already powerful. I also knew that the abuse could lead him down a dark path. That's what I wanted. He would become a dark lord and defeat him. I would get the fame and his vaults due to me defeating him."

"What became of Riddle?"

"He became lord Voldemort."

That made the courtroom erupt into chaos. The man allowed a wizard, one from a prominent family, to become a dark lord so that he could gain more fame and get the boy's money and heirlooms. It was horrendous. It took Fudge a few minutes to get the courtroom under control.

"SILENCE!" He yelled, gaining their attention. "If you can't control yourselves you will be escorted out."

Those that got out of control quickly sat back down. They didn't want to leave. There were a few that did. They couldn't stand to hear anymore. Fudge waited before giving Amelia the signal to continue.

"You've ignored abused children before, correct?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I was experimenting. I wanted to see how they all turned out. I only did it with those that are powerful, from rich and powerful families, and raised by muggles."

"How many?"

"Five."

"What were their names?"

"Thomas Riddle, Severus Snape, Lily Potter, Alexis Mallens, and Harry Potter."

"What happened to Severus Snape?"

"He joined Voldemort until he turned. Sybill Trelawney gave a prophecy. I learned that I wasn't meant to defeat Voldemort and that either the Potter's son or the Longbottom's son was destined. I had her repeat the prophecy at my brother's bar in hopes it was overheard. Severus did and told his lord. When he learned his love, Lily Potter, was in danger he came to me. I force him to work as a spy and as a teacher. Once Voldemort has been defeated for a final time I will have him sent to Azkaban for being a death eater."

"Why did he join the dark lord?" Amelia asked, trying to withhold her disgust.

"To rid the world of child abusing muggles."

"Who abused Severus Snape?"

"His father, a drunk muggle."

"How do you know?"

"He and Lily lived near each other. She saw the abuse. She came to me a few weeks into the school year. She was eleven but very observant. She told me her suspicions. I looked into it and saw a perfect moment to experiment."

"How was Lily Potter abused?"

"Her sister hated that Lily was a witch and she wasn't. She sent me a letter begging me to take her in. I refused. I learned that Lily's ancestor was Rowena Ravenclaw. So when I sent back the letter refusing her I purposely added in how special her sister was and how not special she was. As the time went by Petunia began to mentally abuse her and then physically abused her. Too bad James Potter put an end to it."

Fay and the others knew this. They knew the day they tested to see where the neko gene came from. They kept it quiet so that no one would bug them about the location of the diadem. Now others knew. Those that just learned were surprised and pissed with Dumbledore. They also mourn the fact that the Ravenclaw line died with Harry.

"Who is Alexis Mallens?"

"She was a muggleborn that died three years ago."

"Did she graduate?"

"No."

"At what age did she die?"

"Fourteen."

"How did she die?"

"Her father killed her."

"Was she connected to a wizarding family?"

"Yes."

"Which one?"

"Malfoy."

Lord Malfoy was in the room. He was ready to spit fire. Luckily his wife was there. She placed her hand on his arm. He brought him back down to Earth. He placed his hand over hers and waited.

"How is she related to them?"

"One of her ancestors was sent to America when they found out he was a squib. It took four generations before magic presented itself in her."

"You knew she was abused. How and when?"

"I learned when she was eleven. I noticed the bruises and looked into it. She would have been alive if she didn't try to fight back."

"Doesn't she have a little sister?" Amelia asked.

"Yes."

"She's eight, correct?"

"Yes."

"Are you certain she's not being abused?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"Her mum had taken her sister away when the abuse first started. She tried to take Alexis but was unable."

"Where are they?"

"In America. I lost track of where."

"After the dark lord attacked the Potters, what happened to their son?"

"I had Hagrid take him."

"Is it true Sirius Black already had his grandson?"

"Yes."

"How did Hagrid get a hold of him?"

"I had cast a compulsion spell on Sirius after I heard the prophecy. He was compelled to give Hagrid the child."

"What did Hagrid do with Heir Potter?"

"He took him to his aunt and uncle's house. I was waiting there and so had Minerva."

"Why was she there?"

"She knew my plans to place him there and was concerned. She figured out that Lily and her sister didn't get along. Luckily I was able to cast a compulsion spell on her to allow me to place the baby there without her interfering."

"You didn't hand heir Potter to the Dursleys in person, correct?"

"No."

"What did you do with him?"

"I left him on the doorstep."

A few more people left the courtroom. If they didn't then they felt like they would kill the man. How dare he leave a baby on the doorstep, in the middle of the night, on a cold night! It was ridiculous and cruel.

"How did you know Heir Potter was abused?"

"I paid them to abuse him and placed a squib nearby to watch him."

"Who was the squib?"

"Arabella Figg."

"Was she in on your plan?"

"No."

"Did she report the abuse?"

"Yes."

"To you?"

"Yes."

"Did she report it to anyone else?"

"No."

"Do you know why?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I put a spell on her that made her forget about the abuse if she was talking to someone other than me."

"Let's break for half an hour. The potion will need to be administered and we all need a break." Fudge said.

"Yes sir."
