Today is the day of the trial of Cornelius Fudge. Lucius Malfoy told Amelia Bones about the deeds Cornelius had done to destroy the most important rule of the Statue of Secrecy. Hadrian is sitting on his Wizengamot seats which is like 235, which had 35 Gryffindor; 35 Slytherin; 35 Ravenclaw; 35 Hufflepuff; 20 Black; 20 Lestrange; 20 Potters and 35 Gaunt. There are about 1000 seats. (When I searched it up, it only showed 50 members which I felt was very less so I decided to increase it.) Which was almost one-fourth of it. Then there were Malfoys with 20, Notts with 20, Crouch with 20, Yaxley with 20, Carrows with 20, and so on. This led to a majority of dark on Wizengamot so even if Dumbledore tried Cornelius is going down.

The meeting has started and Amelia Bones is leading it with Lucius and Barty Crouch Sr. beside her. She says, "Bring the accused in." A bunch of Aurors including James Potter and Sirius Black enter with Fudge. He is made to sit on the chair and Amelia says, "We are here today because our Minister Cornelius Fudge has been charged of breaking the most important law of statue of secrecy and then using his position to suppress the matter. He has also sided with Dumbledore in the private war. How does he plead?" 'Not guilty' was a mumble given by Fudge. Amelia said, "Give him the Veritaserum." At this Fudge's eyes went wide and seeked at Dumbledore, he nodded and stood and said in a grandfatherly tone, "Amelia, I am sure it isn't needed now, is it?" 

Amelia ignored him and gave the aurors an icy glare. They hurriedly shoved the Veritaserum down Fudge's throat until his eyes went glazed. Amelia asked, "State your full name." "Cornelius Oswald Fudge." he replied. 

(Now I am just going to write A - Amelia, F - Fudge, L - Lucius and B - Barty Crouch Sr.)

A - Are you the Minister of Magic?

F - Yes. 

L - Did you show a muggle woman magic on the night of New Year's Eve? (Pretend it was New Year's Eve. I honestly can't remember when it had happened.) 

F - Yes, she was very beautiful.

B - An do you agree that you realized you had broken the most important rule of the Statue of Secrecy?

F - Yes. *he said with guilt.* (** for thought if even this form of writing)

A large noise from the Wizengamot erupted. Amelia banged her gavel on the table at it quietened down. She proceeded with the next question.

A - Did you use your position to suppress this matter?

F - Yes. 

L - And are you siding with Dumbledore in the Private War between You-Know-Who and Dumbledore?

F - Yes. 

Amelia said, "Give him the antidote. Wizengamot please decide where guilty or innocent." Soon a red and green button came in front of Hadrian and Daphne. He told her to press the red one, which said Guilty. When the scores where revealed it said. 

GUILTY - 675  INNOCENT - 325 

And so Fudge was given Life Imprisonment in Azkaban. Amelia said, "Since we have no minister, would anyone like to volunteer?" "I vote Barty!" said Rodolphus. "I second that," said Rabastan. "I would like to volunteer," said a chocolate coloured man who was recognized as Kingsley Shaklebolt. "Ok then, Wizengamot, your votes please," Lucius said. Hadrian again asked Daphne to press red which was Barty. The votes were,

Barty - 625   Kingsley - 325

"Well then, Barty Crouch Sr. is our new Minister," Amelia announced and a loud cheer was heard. When Salazar's Slytherins were leaving the old coot walked up to them. He gave them a warm fake smile and said, "Mr. Black, I would like to introduce your younger brother to you. Meet Charlus Potter." He said, pushing Charlus ahead. Hadrian wanted to sneer at him but said with a blank face and calm voice, "I do have a brother Professor but unfortunately his name is Raven Black and not Charlus Potter I assure you." He walks away with the Slytherin's following him.
