"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 onced 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.
