(With Albus Dumbledore)

Albus Dumbledore was sitting in a cell. Instead of the bright, expensive clothing he was wearing prison clothing. He sat on a bed. He may look like a sad and disappointed grandfather on the outside while on the inside he was furious. His carefully laid out plans were a bust. Now he was in jail and many of his loyal followers were disenchanted. They no longer followed him.

At that moment the old man was plotting not only his revenge but also a way to get out. If they thought that they could keep him there they were crazy. He was getting out and then they would all worship him again.

'I just need to charm one of the guards. Make them see that I'm a victim.' He thought. 'An elderly man being blamed and that Voldemort had managed to frame me or someone that didn't like had framed me.'

He looked up when he heard footsteps. His door opened and a guard with food entered the room. Albus smiled at him.

"Why hello there mr. Andrews. It's good to see you again despite the circumstances." He said. 'Andrews was always easy to manipulate.'

"Dumbledore." The man said coldly. 'This man hurt my cousins. No way am I going to be nice to him.'

Albus failed to remember that Andrews and Frank Longbottom were second cousins. That meant that they were family. He had visited them himself. He had heard the healer say that there was no way their memory had been altered. He didn't want to be there and legally he shouldn't but he was the only one available to deliver food that day. Hopefully it will be the last.

Albus was surprised by the cold tone. The tray was placed in front of him and the guard left. Before he could process what happened Mad-eye entered the room. Albus smiled at the man.

"Oh Alastor. It's so good to see you." He said.

"Don't try it, Dumbledore. We are no longer friends." He said.

"I see." He acted disappointed. 'Damn you Longbottoms. Moody was a powerful tool and now he's gone. It will be tough to get him back on my side.'

"Cut the act. I'm here to inform you that you can have a public defender if you request one." He said.

"I have nothing to hide so I don't need one." He said.

"Fine. I'll let the judge on this case and the prosecutor know." He said before he left.

'I will make the world see that I'm innocent. Then I will be out and my plans will be back on track.' He thought before grabbing the food and began eating.

(With Molly and Arthur)

Molly and Arthur are in the kitchen. The two are very horrified by what they learned. The man they had been loyal to and friends with for years had been a terrible man. What he did to the Longbottoms was unimaginable. They never believed Albus was capable of that.

"I hope that man rots in hell." Molly seethed.

"So do I." Arthur said. "Are you ready to go?"

The ministry wanted everyone Albus had been close to, to come in to get checked out by a healer and questioned. Some weren't happy about it and people like Arthur were just glad that the ministry wasn't just throwing them in jail and the ministry was paying the healer.

"I'm ready." She said.

"Where's Ginny?" He asked.

"At the Lovegood's." She answered.

"Good. Let's get this over with."

"Okay."

The two went to the ministry. First they were checked over by a healer. Once they were given the all clear an auror interrogated them. They were free to leave after that. Molly and Arthur were happy that Albus didn't use any spells or potions on them. The ministry was happy that they weren't in on any of Albus's plans.

(With Hermione Granger)

Hermione was sitting on her bed. She had been there for a bit. She was once more rereading the article. She was still in disbelief. There was no way the great Albus Dumbledore had tortured his loyal followers into insanity. That was Voldemort's thing and it was his followers that did that. Now the Lestranges were going to be let go and it wasn't fair.

"Poor Longbottoms. I wonder who messed with their minds." She said.

The frizzy haired eleven year old believed someone messed with their minds and that's why they said Dumbledore had done it. Now she just needed to figure out how to prove it. It was going to be hard since the Longbottom heir wasn't going to Hogwarts and she had no resources and was just a child. She would figure it out though. She had to.

'Don't worry, headmaster. I'll find a way to get you out.' She thought.
