The trial of Albus Dumbledore part two 

Ginny is looking at Albus. He has been silent since they left the courtroom. After Bella presented her timeline, she went over some evidence which took six and a half hours. Ginny knows it is barely a fraction but she also knows Albus won't get out of this.

A storm is brewing inside Albus, he can't believe Black has this much evidence. She has shocked him with the files on every spell he ever cast. He didn't know such a thing existed. He is still trying to figure out who was privy to his plans and thwarted them.

Ginny pokes him, "We need to have sex." Albus groans, he hasn't been able to use a glamor on her since they've been in their cell. He has to think about Gellert really hard to get an erection. He closes his eyes and imagines it is Gellert doing all those things to him.

Severus is holding Harry, "I am sorry that you will have to see Ginny, I know you never wanted to lay eyes on her again." Harry sighs, "I will ignore her. Besides, Bella promised me, it will be quick." Bella finds them, embracing, "About that, I will call Severus first. And then you, which will be tomorrow, most likely. Your parents are watching and I remember you saying you wanted your parents to learn from Sev that you two are married." Harry nods, "Yeah." He sighs, "I guess I will have to see them." Bella puts a hand on his shoulder, "You don't have to." Severus places a kiss on his temple, "You have time to think about it."

Everyone is back in the courtroom, for the second day of the trial. The Judge looks at Bella, "You may start." She nods and turns towards the jury, "Albus Dumbledore has wronged many people. Today we will hear from some and show you how far his control went. I am one of those people. When I graduated from Hogwarts Albus handed me my diploma which was imbued in potions and spells. Fortunately for me, I went to Gringotts before my graduation and I was wearing some protective jewelry and I wasn't affected. I went to Gringotts with my diploma."

She shows them the report, "As you can see, I was supposed to join Voldemort and become a crazy killer and torturer. His goal was to make the Black madness worse. The Black madness was a curse placed upon us. The curse has been lifted and our future generations won't suffer from it." She looks at the jury, "I asked myself, if he did this to me, who else? I joined Voldemort and I pretended to be crazy and mad. I was able to observe and I noticed quite a few things I would have missed otherwise. I saw some Death Eaters weave compulsion spells around Voldemort."

She crosses her arms over her chest, "I took my sister and her husband into my confidence and we observed and formed our own group within the Death Eater and we worked with some Aurors, we knew we could trust to set up traps. We were able to save many lives. That is not to say I didn't kill people. I did, I killed Rodolphus Lestrange after he attacked me for turning him down. I killed many more. I am not standing before you, proclaiming I am a saint. I am not. I did some things I am not proud of but unlike Albus, I own my past misdeeds and don't try to put a wool over your eyes, making you believe I am something I am not."

Albus glares at her, he's been thinking about his revenge on her.

She continues, "As I was saying, our group kept Voldemort in check and gave him other ideas which caused less damage. A new path. The truth is, Albus and his order of vigilantes killed more people than the Death Eaters." She takes a sip of water and eats a nutbar before she continues, "After the fall of Voldemort, I made it my goal to take Albus Dumbledore down. My plan was to work in the shadows but thanks to Molly NoName using polyjuice potion to pretend to be me, I was able to use that and I could show my face openly." She chuckles, "It was fun messing up his plans." She gets a serious look on her face, " If it were up to Albus, I would be dead by now, killed by his co-conspirator, Molly NoName. But instead I am presenting the case against Albus Dumbledore to you. A case that has been worked on for decades."
