Hadrian's POV
The auror poured three drops of veritaserum in Molly's mouth.

When her eyes clouded, Madam Bones asked the same questions that were asked when they were being interrogated back in the Burrow.

Molly gave the same replies.

Most of the Lords and Ladies were disgusted when they heard her.

When the antidote was given to Molly, her face paled at remembering the answers she gave. "Please forgive me. It was all Dumbledore. I never wanted to do it." She tried to put the blame on Dumbledore.

"Molly No Name, your answers gave your intent. Please do not waste the time of the court." The Chief Warlock said.

"Please light your wands if she has to be punished." The Minister of Magic said.

Most of the wands, along with ours, were raised and glowing at the tip.

The Minister of Magic, the Chief Warlock, and Madam Bones discussed it among them for a few minutes.

"Molly No Name, for all the crimes you have committed, you have to be sentenced to Azkaban for life. But the breaking and sealing soulmate bonds of both your children and your former husband have gone beyond the crimes of this time.
So, we decided to obey the Olde rules laid by Lady Magic herself. You will be given to your former husband, Lord Arthur Weasley. He could do what he wanted with you.
But he should make sure you are dead by the end of the next 24 hours." The Chief Warlock declared.

Ron, Ginevra, and Hermione were brought forward together.

"I do not want to listen to them say they are not guilty. We already obtained their side of the answer from Molly No Name. Please raise your wands if you want to use the veritaserum." The Chief Warlock said.

All the Lords and Ladies, along with us, raised our wands.

The three of them were given veritaserum at once. The interrogation was faster this time.

The same reaction was given by the lords and ladies. They wanted them to be gone. So, all of them voted for them being punished.

"It is the same as Molly No Name, but you will be given to Lord Potter-Black, Fredrick, and George Weasleys since it is their lives you have affected the most." The Chief Warlock said.

After they were dragged out of the court, Chief Warlock said, "Please gather again here after two days. Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore will be having his hearing. Thank you."

The Minister of Magic, The Chief Warlock, and Madam Bones left the hall. Slowly, all the Lords and Ladies started to leave the hall.

Draco walked to us. "How does it feel?" He asked my twins.

"Honestly, calming. We would not need to bear with her any longer." My twins said.

"Be careful. That old man still has a lot of followers." Draco warned me.

I nodded as we walked out of the hall together.

When we reached home, Fred and George were trying to rub their chests as if they were in pain. I knew immediately that their transformation began.

I gave Teddy to Atlas. "Teddy, can you stay with your papa for today. Fred and George are not feeling well. I will have to take care of them." I said as I looked at him.

When Teddy saw Fred and George in pain, he asked, "Will they be okay?"

I nodded.

"Be okay, Fred, George, you promised to play with me all day tomorrow." Teddy said.

"We will." My twins replied.

I nodded at dad and held their hands and apparated them to their flat above their store.

I lay them down on the bed and held their hands and imagined taking all their pain to myself, just like Mortem had instructed.

When their faces calmed down, they held my hand tighter.

"Is it too much?" They asked.

I shook my head.

"Yours will hurt, but not as much as mine. Since my magic is flowing in you right now, the effects will be faster and less painful." I said.

"How long, Hades?" Fred asked.

"Eight to ten hours max." I replied.

They sighed in relief.

"Should we talk about something to distract you from the pain?" George asked.

"Maybe." I said.

"Do you want to know when we started to fall for you?" My twins asked.

I nodded. I really wanted to know.

"It was back in your first year. You were the only one who called us with the correct names no matter how much we tried to confuse you. You were so cute that it made us protective of you." Fred said.

"We knew you had nightmares, but when you shared it with both of us first, instead of Ron or Hermione, we felt that you were trying to open up to us." George said.

"When trying to solve the reason behind the petrification of students, we were attracted to your courage. When you got Ginny back with you, we were impressed. But the moment we saw blood in your cloak, we nearly thought you would die." Fred said.

"In your third year, when we saw you asked McGonagall to allow you to Hogsmeade, we decided to give you the map so that you would never put that dejected face again. We realized we were deeply in love with you without us knowing when we fell so badly. We just couldn't see you unhappy." George said.

"We were shocked that your name came out of the Goblet. We knew you would never do that. So, we stood by your side. When we saw the Dragon, the souls just left our bodies. When you didn't come out of the water even after the time was up, we wanted to jump in to get you out." They said.

"The total Umbridge matter was really passing us off. So, we decided to just revolt. But we delayed our plans when you said you would teach DADA yourself. That gave us the chance to be closer to you." Fred said.

"But the end of that year was the worst. You lost, Sirius. The cry you gave when he fell through the veil broke our heart. We wanted you to stay with us, and so did Atlas, but the coot wanted you back in with your relatives." George said.

"The day we felt like dying was when Hagrid had you in his arms and were lying there dead." They said.

"I wasn't completely dead." I said.

"We know." They said as they looked at me with eyes that said 'never do that again'.

"When Ginny said she wanted to marry you, we knew we never had the chance. It broke our hearts, but we wanted you to be happier than us with you." Fred said.

"So, we decided to just be friendly with you. But you had to know, it was really tough for us." George said.

"When you came to us and gave us that inheritance test papers, you don't know how angry we were. They made us lose the chance to be with you. The potions, charms, and other blocks infuriated us even more." They said.

"We want to take some revenge on Marvolo." My twins said after some time.

I nodded. "Ask dad. You got my permission." I said.

They gave their trademark smile filled with mischief sparking in their eyes.
