Unexpected Comfort

Found Out About You

AN: Hello again my lovelies!! Lots of new followers last chapter and reviews, which I love, love, love!!! I would like to apologize for taking so very long with this chapter. My issues with life and family have really gotten in the way of getting it done. On that note, I would like to see this fic finished sometime around the new year. *crosses fingers*

Edit Nov 6:

It's still the new year and even though I never posted this chapter I still went through and did an edit. Thanks again to everyone for your support, I really appreciate the love!

"If those in the Gallery would please settle down, the trials of Hermione Jean Granger and Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore are about to begin." The voice echoed loudly in the room, the spectators shifted excitedly in their seats.

It wasn't very often that trials happened where the accused were firm supporters or leaders of the Light. This would be the trial of the millennia and Rita was looking forward to all the dirt that would be dug up when they questioned Dumbledore under Veritaserum, she chuckled quietly to herself while making sure that both her Quick Quotes Quill and her Dictation Quill were working flawlessly.

She smiled slyly as she saw one of her wandering quills and accompanying parchment scribbling away fiercely as it tried to keep up with the murmuring crowd. Today would make her career and she had Harry Potter to thank no less!

Percy Weasley prided himself for his intelligence, hard work, and bravery; no matter what his younger brothers thought of him. He had never agreed with his family following so closely to Dumbledore and with his quick rise through the ranks of the Ministry he was able to distance himself from what he saw as their bad judgment.

After seeing the first set of articles in the newspaper detailing the attack on Iris Potter-Snape and calling into question the legality of her and the Professors past relationship, Percy saw the earmarks of the Headmasters manipulations. Hearing from his parents only a few days later and being invited around for family dinner had caused him a bit of smug satisfaction, not that he was happy that Iris was hurt. It wasn't her fault that the Headmaster had fixated on the idea of a child savior.

He jolted where he stood at hearing the sound of the gavel hitting wood. He stood behind Tonks and Auror Dawlish waiting to enter the courtroom. He felt his excitement grow with every passing tick of the clock. Soon he would see the threat of Dumbledore nullified and then just the Dark Lord would have to be taken care of.

The murmur of the crowd died suddenly as the doors to Courtroom 11 banged open. A collective gasp ran through those in the gallery as in walked Severus Snape and his wife, Iris Sagitta Potter Black Snape, formerly Harry Potter. Many in the crowd had never even seen the The-Boy-Who-Lived in the flesh and were quite shocked to see the heavily pregnant sixteen-year-old.Many had thought the stories of Harry Potter being changed into a woman were just a stunt to get attention but the girl looked like Harry Potter, just a bit softer around the edges.

The couple made their way to the front row of seats just to the side of the Wisengamot's gallery seats. Iris cut a small curtsy to those gathered and took her seat between Severus and the already seated Sirius. She gratefully took the offered hand and gave it a squeeze, smiling when Sirius childishly held his hand to his chest delicately.
