The Trial
---
Chapter 6
Draco sits in the waiting room though not alone. Lupin sat near him, trying to be a comforting presence to the young man. Very strange to think of all the years, this is his only ally aside.. Potter. He can barely hear the voices of the assembly itself. One case before his, and it has nothing to do with Voldemort and no one will tell him what the big deal is. If they want to be asses about it, let them.
Guard comes to the door, “ Its time.”
Lupin, “ I’ll be as close as I can, lad.”
Draco, “ Yeah.. “ Finding his throat dry.
The room is filled with many wizards and witches. The panel themselves watch as Draco stands before them in the cage though is not locked. All his for great show. His eyes catch Ron and Hermione also in the audience but where is Potter? Potter is standing next to Lupin not far from him. Odd sense of relief about this. Almost thought the the ass backed out.
The questions were fired at him. They wanted names and paces. They questioned him on his violent on some attacks. The biggest was the death od Dumbledore as Draco was given credit to that by Snape.
Draco, “ I didn’t kill him. Professor Snape did.”
“ We ave a witness to your innocence?”
Potter walks forward, “ I saw the whole exchange. Dumbledore knew Draco was suppose to kill him. Voldemort was making him do it because of his parents. When Dumbledore confronted Draco, he confessed it. Draco was unable to attack... Professor snape then came into the room with others and casted an unforgivable curse.”
Some muttering goes around the room. Potter has no reason to lie for this him after all so this brings surprise to all. Draco can see Ron’s face scrunched in anger. This brings some satisfaction, knowing the redhead wants to bring about an outburst.
Potter, “ I vouch for Malfoy in saying he only became a DeathEaters to protect his family.” With that he sits down.
“ Is that so?”
Draco, “ Yes, not that i did me much good. Voldemort still killed them both. “ Bitterness not hidden from his voice. “ That's when I left my service to him.”
“ I think that's enough. We can’t allow you to have possession of your home as its filled with illegal items but your fortune can be returned back to you. We do suggest you stay under the care of Potter until the matters o the house are settled.”
Draco walks out of the room, feeling a weight from his shoulders lifted. Not everything is back but at least he is no longer without resources. Still has to stay with Potter so the old bastards can sleep better at night! Could be worse.. he could be living with a Weasley. Speaking of a Weasley, he can hear them coming out now.
Ron, “ Why did you do it?!”
Potter being harped by Ron, “ I had to. Besides it was the truth. The only person he could ever kill is me. “ Looks up with an odd smile on his lips, “ Right, Malfoy?”
Malfoy, “ Waste a perfectly good curse on you? Maybe. “ Taunt comes out though strangely he feels more of an unsaid joke between them.
Herman, “ Will you both stop! “ Not giving Draco even a glance, “ I want to talk to you about your scar. its suppose to be faded by now.”
Potter, “ Hermione.. “
Hermione grabs Draco’s wrist to see the mark, “ Why do you have a matching scar now too?!” Eyes so fierce , so strong bore into his own.
Draco pulls his hand away, “ Let go! It's none of your fucking business anyway.”
Potter, “ Draco, Why don’t you go ahead. I asked Dobby to make sure a bath is set up for you. “
Draco pauses, still eerie how Potter can sense such things, “ Whatever. “
He starts to depart quickly to head back to the house but runs into his friends Goyle and Crabbe. They give those dumb yet warm smiles of theirs.
Goyle, “ Draco, we come to support you in your trial!”
Crabbe nods earnestly.
Draco, “ That's nice but the trail is over.”
Goyle, “ I told you we should have left sooner! “: smacking Crabbe.
Crabbe, “ You were the one who got the time wrong! “
Draco, “ Hey, I’m heading out but lets meet for lunch tomorrow, my treat. Victory lunch you might say.”
Crabbe, “ Sounds like a blast! “
Draco, “ Get going before they decide to interrogate you as well.”
This sends them off quickly. Both of them not very brave souls for being so large. Draco snickers as he heads out himself but finds himself next to Lupin again.
Lupin, “ Heading back to the Black House?”
Draco, “ Why would you care?”
Lupid, in soft tone, “ Just because you made it this far, doesn’t mean its over. Last time Voldemort was defeated, Death Eaters were still a danger for months. Making attacks on people both Muggle and Wizard. I would hate to see you die after coming this far.”
Draco, “ Do whatever you want.”
Lupin goes with him then. Draco is at first annoyed by having a baby-sitter still. Maybe, he wonders, this might be a chance to ask questions.
Draco, “ I don’t get it, why is Potter helping me?”
Lupin, “ He's never told you? “ Smiles sadly, “ I suppose not. Its all because of Snape.”
Draco, “ Snape?” Funding this hard to believe.
Lupin, “ Yes, the ex-professor Snape. During the last period of the grad battle, if a battle like that could be even considered Grand, Snape put you to sleep to keep you from fighting Voldemort. He made a bloodvow to protect you and I suspect he did so because he also cared alot for you.”
Draco, “ What does that have to do with Bloody Potter?!”
Lupin, “ Snape took a fatal blow and before he died, confessed to Harry. Harry in turn said he would do he best to make sure you made it. I am surprised he is going this far to help. That only Harry can answer.”
Draco even more confused now. Till now, he thought Potter killed Snape, “ They hated each other!”
Lupin, “ I would have said the same for you and Harry!” Which promptly shuts draco up, “ Sometimes the truth is not clean cut. What was going on between Harry and Snape goes back to even before harry was born. That’s what happens when kids make mistakes and let hate grown in their hearts,”
Draco, “ Why are you helping me?”
Lupin, “ I kinda like you.”
Draco laughs not believing this, “ I’m Potter’s rival.. His enemy!”
Lupin, “ That's between you two. “
Draco can’t seem to get much else from him and is left to ponder those words as he soaks in the warm tub. This day has been maybe too much even for him. Now all he needs is to free himself from the bond but to do that one of them has to die.
Well, he always wanted to off Potter anyway.
