No One Messes with the Master of Death: Chapter 51
Hadrian's POV
Finally, it is the day for Dumbledore's trial. I am actually forward to what
the people want of me. Do they want me dead along with the old man? Do they
want me in Azkaban for being the son of a Death Eater and the Dark Lord? Or do
they think I am a monster for killing his own father?
All of us were waiting in the courtroom. A few people
from the dark side had already arrived and took their seats. They looked at
father and bowed slightly, letting us know that they knew who he was from the
last trial.
It took another 30 minutes for the remaining lords and
ladies to arrive. Then Amelia and the minister arrived and took their seats.
The Chief Warlock was the last to arrive.
Amelia was looking at me. She wanted to know if I knew
what the light side wanted to do with me. I nodded and smiled, reassuring her
that I was fully prepared.
Before we arrived at the court, we had moved to the
Slytherin Islands that father recommended. So, even if people storm Grimmauld
Place, they will not find us. My twins were with me, representing House
Prewett. They had already sealed their shop so that no one could enter. Dad had
warded his shop from anyone, not family.
The Chief Warlock spoke, "We are here for the trial
of Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore. Aurors, please bring him in."
A few aurors I know dragged Dumbledore and forced him to
sit on the chair and bound him to it.
"Albus Dumbledore, you are being tried for blocking
the soulmate bond of Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black with Heirs Fred
Weasley and George Weasley, for putting blocks on Lord Harry James Sirius
Potter-Black, for obliviating Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black and Lord
Severus Tobias Prince-Snape, stealing from Lord Severus Tobias Prince-Snape and
Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black and trying to kill Lord Harry James Sirius
Potter-Black along with Molly No-name, Ginevra No-name, Ronald No-name and
Hermione No-name, and helping them give Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black
love potions, and other potions, you have also been seen casting the killing
curse at Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black. You are also tried for blocking
the soulmate bond of Arthur Septimus Weasley with Lords Fabian Prewett and
Gideon Prewett, helping Molly No-name marry Arthur Weasley by forcing him with
love potions, and hiding his mates with you. You also have children with Molly
No-name, who is the former wife of Arthur Weasley. You are also being tried for
hurting Edward Lupin, godson of Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black, and also
placing blocks on him. How do you plead?" The Chief Warlock asked. He had
to take a long breath after that. He was almost out of breath.
"Not guilty." Albus said.
"Do you give permission for the usage veritaserum to
prove your innocence?"
"Yes. I know I have done what I have done for the
greater good." Albus said with the twinkle in his eyes.
I wanted to punch his face to get rid of the smug
expression and the twinkle in his eyes.
Someone I had never seen in the department entered with a
vial. I knew it was not veritaserum.
"I request for someone who knows Potions to please
check the vial, for I know that I have never seen the auror in the department
before." I requested.
Amelia looked at the auror with doubt, and they accepted
my request. She went down to see if the vial had veritaserum or not. When she
reached out for the vial, the auror stepped back and held their wand at Amelia.
She easily disarmed the auror and took the vial from their hand and checked.
"Who are you? Why are you dressed as an auror? Why
did you bring this lame excuse of the serum instead of the strong one?"
Amelia asked as she pointed her wand at the auror.
An unspeakable walked in with a stronger version of
veritaserum and poured it in the old man's mouth, who looked a little pale.
Then, they took the fake auror to the cells in the auror department for further
questioning as Amelia walked back to her seat.
"What is your name?" The Chief Warlock asked.
"Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore."
"When were you born?"
"August 18, 1881."
"The serum is working. Why did you block the bond
between Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black and Heirs Fred and George
Weasley?"
"Harry had to die in the war. I would not like to
risk the lives of Molly's children. I care for the woman."
"He didn't die after the war, so why not take the
block off?"
"Ginevra liked Harry, but he never looked at her in
that way. He always looked for the twins. They might have been Molly's
children, but Ginevra is my own child, and I would prioritize my own."
"So, you decided to go against Lady Magic?"
"Yes. Anything for my family."
"Why did you steal from Lord Harry James Sirius
Potter-Black and Lord Severus Tobias Prince-Snape?"
"I needed money to sustain myself after the last two
wars. They had a lot of money, what was wrong with me taking a little every
month."
"Do you accept helping Molly, Ronald, Ginevra, and
Hermione No-name killing Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Harry was slowly turning dark. He had to be gone
before he became a threat to the wizarding world."
My twins, dad, and father were trying their best not to
march down and curse living daylight out of the coot right now.
"Why would Lord Harry James Sirius Potter-Black turn
dark?"
"Harry had a piece of Voldemort's soul in him for a
good time of 16 years. He would be influenced by it."
"How would you know that it would affect him after
it was destroyed where it could not influence him when he had it in him?"
"Harry is similar to Voldemort in many ways. He is
an orphan, abused by his relatives, he is a parselmouth, and his core is dark.
He is also a half-blood. He is as powerful as him, if not more. Voldemort hates
muggles for what they had done to him. Harry hates his relatives for abusing
him and neglecting him. Harry is also the son of Voldemort. He needs a lot of
time for the effect to show."
That was when shouts erupted from all the Lords and
ladies. The Chief Warlock had to cast a sonorus on his voice and silence the
people with his voice. When everyone calmed down, he canceled the spell.
"We would like to request Lord Harry James Sirius
Potter-Black to come down." The Chief Warlock said.
I gave Teddy to Fred as I walked down and sat in the
chair that appeared next to the old man.
"Do you give permission to take veritaserum?"
"Yes." I said. I knew I had to talk about this
one day or another. I just wished it was not in front of these many people. But
I had to if I needed to prove that Dumbledore had done what we knew he did.
An unspeakable walked in and poured the serum in my
mouth.
