I walked into the court room with Hermione and Neville. Of course, we had to shove our way through the media. Well, they walked, I shoved everyone out of the way.

We entered and Neville sat down with Ron, Harry, Ginny, Luna, Narcissa, George and Blaise. They had all come to support Draco. Some of them were going to help defend Draco, like Harry and Ron.

I however sat at the defendant's desk, with Draco's lawyer. The judge went up to the stand.

"Alright. Let's begin the trial of Draco Malfoy. Bring in the defendant." The judge announced and two guards brought in Draco. His hair was now dirty and his clothes worn out. They seated him in the center.

"Ok, Draco Malfoy, you have been charged with the following: being a servant to the Dark Lord and fighting with the Dark Lord as a death eater. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty." He said, bluntly.

"Alright. You will be represented by Amethyst LeStrange. Ms. LeStrange, what is your first piece of evidence?"

"Your honor, my client has never fought of the Dark Lord and has been living in peace. There has been no record of any sort of criminal activity." I said.

"Yes, but Mr. Malfoy has the mark."

"He does posses the dark mark. However, he has served as a double agent. To protect the ones he loves."

"And your proof?"

"I'd like to first bring Hermione Granger to the stand."

*********

"Alright, Mr. Weasly, that will be enough. You may be seated. Any more witnesses, Ms. LeStrange?" The judge asked and Ron sat next to Luna.

"Yes, Harry Potter." I replied as Harry stood up and went to the stand.

"Mr. Potter, have you been friends with Mr. Malfoy?"

"Yes." He said.

"Did you ever recall receiving information on death eater whereabouts for Mr. Malfoy?"

"A few times, yes."

"Has he fought with you during the war?"

"Yes."

"Alright. I rest my case." I crossed my arms and sat down in my chair.

"Ok. I declare, the defendant....." The judge said.

We all held hands and prayed.

"NOT GUILTY!" The judge boomed across the room. "Mr. Malfoy is free to go."

Draco ran up and spun around Hermione. Tears ran down Hermione's face.

He set her down hugged me.

"Thank you..." He whispered. "I'd be on my way to Azkaban if it weren't for you..."

"I'd do anything for you Draco, you are my best friend."

"Alright! Party at the Burrow in an hour!" Ron yelled and we all cheered.

Parties.

Ron's answer to everything.

Everything was now right with the world.
