The trial of Albus Dumbledore part four 

Lucius is looking at his sister-in-law, "You look like you could use a firewhiskey." Bella leans back against the cushions, "For the past ten days we have been reading out every crime Albus ever did. We had family members who were still alive there to get some answers. Albus has been telling them why he killed their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and friends. It is not pretty. But at least people will be getting answers and closure."

Lucius nods, "How does this work since he isn't testifying?" She sighs, "A murder charge is read out, the question is why and he has to answer. It is as simple as that. Some of his reasons are petty. He killed someone for eating the last lemon drop. Can you believe that? You can read all about it. His trial will be transcripted and made public."

Lucius hands her a glass of water, "Many want his head. Hermione had an idea. After his trial, have him walk down Diagon Alley in shackles. She told me about a custom of throwing tomatoes at someone. Tomatoes were seen as poor quality and thus throwing them at someone would mean that person is not good enough."

Bella smirks, "We should totally do that. Have Ginny and Molly with him. They should be clad in racks. I am sure Lady Magic would not be opposed to this." She looks at him, "How are things in Britain?" Lucius shrugs, "Many people are still in denial. But they are receptive to the changes we are trying to make. They are all on board with the orphanage and primary school. They have come to learn that education in Britain has been severely lacking. We have many volunteers who want to help. The creatures are not hiding anymore, many were surprised to learn they were working with werewolves and vampires all along. Gringotts got flooded with people wanting an inheritance test. Some had some mild potions in them. Scrimgeour is holding a conference tonight."

She gets up, "Good. I am going home. I need a bath, ice cream and pizza."

Bella is looking at her family, "I will be calling Albus to the stand today, he will have to answer my questions. We are done with his murders and assaults. He won't be cross examining any of you, if that was your worry. This trial was just to reveal his crimes. It's an open and shut case. We just want to hear from him before we hand out his sentence. You can attend if you want to. And if you have questions for him, you write them down and I will ask him."

Tom and Gellert are looking at each other, Tom takes his hand, "I want to hear from his mouth everything he planned." Gellert nods, "Me too. I might have one or two questions for him. Maybe I can finally get closure, and you too." Tom nods and pecks his lips, "Plus I want to see his face when he sees us together and I kiss you." Gellert laughs, "You are incorrigible."

Regulus looks at Judy, "You are in charge while I am gone. I want to see him go down." Judy nods and hugs her dad, "I will keep the natives in check." Narcissa looks at her husband, "I will stay here, you go. Andy, Kim and I will look after the kids." Lucius nods, "I will show you the memory later."

Sirius looks at Hermione, "Do you want to come with?" She ponders and rubs her belly, "I do. I want to hear his plans for me. I know them already from my old life, but I need to hear them from him." He nods and kisses her. Sirius smirks, "He will pop a canary when he sees Moody today." She laughs, "That is what he gets for not checking up on people." She whispers, "I want to tell them." Sirius nods, "Now or later?" She scrunches up her nose thinking. Sirius looks at her, she looks so adorable when she does that. He kisses her and she smiles, "Later."

Draco looks at Remus, "I want to go." Remus nods, "Me too." Draco puts his arms around his neck, "And then we will start working on baby #4." Remus smiles and softly kisses him, "We will."

Severus is stroking Harry's back, "What do you want to do, love?" Harry lets out a breath, "A part of me wants to stay here, another wants to go and see him get justice." He puts a hand on his stomach, "He stole this from us the first time." He looks at Sev, determined, "I am going." Severus nods and wraps his arms around him, "I will be right next to you. If you want to leave at any point, tell me."
