"Excellent! Just leave them by the door after it’s closed. Side by side a few centimeters apart from each other." Carmen said. "Chief Warlock Dumbledore. Please cast the strongest warding charms you can think of. Lord Greengrass, please verify the same wards are placed on each dummy. Your daughter brags about your fami...
Once the men were finished, she turned to Lord Malfoy. "Follow me please." She turned her back on him and walked away. It was a sign of disrespect as she knew he held no challenge to her. Especially in front of all of these witnesses. Once she almost reached the three quarter point the chambers, she turned around to fa...
"That is a rather large distance." Malfoy said.
"It’s called a demonstration for a reason Lord Malfoy."
Lucius looked at her like she was mad in that Malfoy way of his, but decided to indulge her if only to prove magic was superior.
His spells hit but they were weaker than usual because of the distance. Not to mention he was more than a little tired.
"You have good aim Lord Malfoy. Have you ever considered teaching a class at Hogwarts? They are huge on theory, but not big on practice. You could know every damn spell in the book, but if you can’t cast it accurately and quickly all the book knowledge in the world won’t save you."
"Here Here!" Madame Bones said.
She turned to the audience. "You might want to cover your ears folks." Carmen cast a spell over her ears and made a show of reaching into her briefcase. She pulled out her weapon and fired. With tactical reload, she let off fourteen shots in the fraction of the time Malfoy did and she hadn’t used any magic. She waved h...
She turned back to the stunned crowd. "This is considered a side arm. It’s a small weapon used by non magical and magical police, and military forces around the world. It’s called a side arm, because it’s worn on the side of an officer on patrol. Not to mention that these weapons are also in the hands of private citize...
Lucius Malfoy was now eternally grateful to the Dark Lord that he was not sent on the raid to retrieve the Potter brat and the witch from Diagon Alley. He vividly remembered the weapon pointed at his head inside the café where his wife was having lunch.
"Thank you for the demonstration. The information was most enlightening." Madame Bones was quite pale from the demonstration of how an apparently simple, less powerful muggle weapon could destroy magic. She looked down at the five dummies that all registered as dead from her weapon.
Carmen bowed in Madame Bones direction. "Thank you Madame. I shall take my leave." She banished the chair she had conjured, shrunk her lunch down and placed it in her case. She turned to the Minister. "Please let me know if you would like me to fully comply with the exact terms of my diplomatic immunity. My detectors h...
"So I do. What I do. When I’m through. Then I’m through. And I’m through. Toodle oo.’
Amelia shook her head at the woman’s antics and took the vote. "The accused has been found guilty. Take him away."
Bole tried to fight against his restraints, but it didn’t work. He was dragged out of the courtroom screaming.0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0
"The last case on the docket is against Elijah Goring." The Scribe paled as he glanced through the charges. Elijah Goring was being brought in with magic suppressing cuffs on and a smug look on his face. He was placed in a chair by two aurors who looked like they wanted to kill him. "Mr. Goring is charged with two coun...
George Weasley could see that Sally was scared and was beginning to panic although her parents held her hand. He left his seat and discreetly made his way over to her as Madame Bones tried to quiet things down at the outrage of the charges. He calmly picked her up, sat in her seat and put her on his lap. "Calm yourself...
Sally nodded into his chest and tried to take deep breaths as he had told her to do.

Severus Snape was livid, but he didn’t let it show. His little snake was being held by a Weasley. A Weasley who had saved her innocence from the worthless waste of magic in front of him. Oh how he wished he could’ve used that poison on the boy like he had planned.

Amelia cleared her throat after she let off a blast of noise. "The Wizengamot has seen the evidence of his crimes. As the victim is a minor, her testimony is not needed. To the vote then. All..."
"Wait." Goring’s representative called out.
Severus Snape gripped his wand tightly.
"It is my understanding that the accused has the right to face his accuser."
"You would put a little girl in front of the man who tried to rape her?!" Lord Abott called out.
"It is his right. If she cannot present herself, then I move forward a motion to have all charges dismissed. As is the law."
Sally looked up at George. She saw that he was looking at Professor Snape. She had no idea about the silent conversation going on between them, but her resolve became stone. She was a Slytherin after all.
"Come with me?"
George looked to her parents, but her father was trying to stop her mother from killing the boy who had tried to hurt her baby. Mr. Jentry nodded at him and George took her down the stairs by the hand. He wasn’t surprised to see Professor Snape at the bottom.
"She’s from my house." Snape said simply. He gave a small nod of encouragement to the little girl.
That was all that she needed as George walked with her to stand in front of her attacker. He took up a casual stance against the wall, but anyone who knew him knew he was on guard. Which was all of HD. They were spread out through the crowd in case they were needed. Lee Jordan and Colin Creevey were guarding Hermione’s...
Sally stood in front of him with no fear in her heart. Her mentor and Head of House would protect her. "What can I do for you Goring?"
Elijah raised a brow at her. He didn’t think the little bitch would show up. "I wanted you to tell the truth. How you begged me for it. You little Slytherin sluts are all the same."
With that statement, Goring’s legal representation packed up his work and left the room while shaking his head. His parents followed behind him, and no one could blame them.
Sally raised a brow. "I saw my parents kissing yesterday and I almost lost my lunch. I am eleven. What on earth made you think that I wanted to do the things you wanted me to do?" She leaned as close to him as she dared. "I heard you. I heard how you and your friends planned to take the Greengrass sisters and make them...
"STUPEFY!!" Three shots rang out as Lord Greengrass was dropped to the ground by Andromeda, Lord Abott, and Amelia Bones. Sirius bound him then revived him.
Lord Greengrass slowly blinked awake. Sirius spoke lowly to him. "Not here Xavier. They’re safe, whole, and healthy. I think a nice Yule gift for George Weasley is in order."
Xavier Greengrass slowly calmed down and nodded. That scum was going to violate his daughters and we wanted him tortured slowly and painfully. Sirius unbound him and helped him to stand and took his wand.
"Just in case." Sirius said.
Xavier nodded and turned to Amelia. "Given the information that has come to light, I must recuse myself from the vote." He plopped down into his chair and rubbed a hand down his face. The Lords and Ladies around him gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulders.
Sally had jumped at the noise. She looked to George, who had his wand out. He nodded at her to continue.
The little girl continued. "I had to ask my father what that even meant. I never wanted you to touch me like that. I want you to think about George Weasley every day. Because of him other girls will never have to go through what I did." She turned to the Wizengamot. "My family would like to thank George Weasley for pro...
Amelia took control once again. "All those in favour of conviction." Every single wand went up. Not even the Dark faction could oppose sending the boy to prison. "Mr. Goring. The Headmaster of Hogwarts has something to say to you."
Albus Dumbledore looked at the boy in pure sadness. "Mr. Goring. You are expelled from Hogwarts." He pulled a wand from his robes and snapped it. His look of sadness turned to rage but only the boy saw it and he cowered in fear. He threw the remains of the wand at the boy’s feet and walked away.
"Take him away." Amelia ordered.
Everyone watched as the boy started crying as he was dragged out of the courtroom.
"I order this meeting closed." Dumbledore said.

Harry was having a great time. He was currently attempting to learn how to surf in Australia. He was doing badly, but not as bad as Remus oddly enough.
Sirius had booked a stay at a magical resort, and they were having a wonderful time. Although it didn’t start out that way.
First. For some reason that Sirius couldn’t understand, Albus thought that he had the right to tell him that it wasn’t safe for Harry to go on vacation. He just sat there and looked at the old man and said nothing. Second. It was when Molly threw a fit saying that Harry and Ron should spend time together, was when he l...
Fred and George had apologized profusely for their mother’s behaviour, but they understood Sirius’ anger. Harry had snogged them to within an inch of their life before the portkey activated. He made sure that they knew he didn’t blame them or his siblings in the slightest.
The twins had multiple invites for Yule break including the Jordans and the Jentrys. Neville had wanted to invite Ginny to the annual Yule ball, but his grandmother had deemed her unsuitable, so naturally he invited her anyway. She was to show up with her parents and spend the rest of the time with her boyfriend. It wa...
He and Remus had an all out screaming match about why he wasn’t there for him as a child. Whenever Remus tried to hide behind Moony, Harry pointed out that he would rather have lived on the run with a werewolf than live with the Dursleys. Remus came back with that was no life for him. In the end after many tears and wa...
Sirius, Harry, and Remus, had danced and laughed at Aditi’s farewell party. Her family had put on an exquisite feast, and Harry made a mental note to try some of the spices when he went back home.
Then someone gave Harry alcohol. Wrong move, as Sirius recognized the problem immediately and stunned him. Aditi gave him a flushing potion and a calming draught and they put Harry in a secure room. He woke up a few hours later and was put through a full day of alcohol detection spells by Sirius and Remus.

Harry was nearly bowled over by two identical grapple hugs.
George was first to slam his lips against Harry’s. He gingerly used his tongue to gain entrance into his mouth and Harry complied without hesitation. He was then placed in front of Fred who was less subtle. When the assault was over, he was smacked in the back of the head by Carmen.
"If the three of you would calm your raging teenaged hormones, we have shopping to do."
The three boys looked around themselves dazed. They were surrounded by members of The Order, their parents, and a few other people Harry didn’t recognize.
Harry cleared his throat as he noted that each twin was wrapped securely around him. "What was that?"
"Shopping! We have two days until the ball, and we need outfits!"
Everyone held their hands to their ears as Carmen squealed in delight.
"Miss LaVaunt. I must reiterate that it is dangerous to shop in Diagon Alley at the moment." Albus said.
Carmen crossed her arms. "I see. So as Chief Warlock you made sure to tell every citizen not to go into the Alley?"
"Harry is a special case. He shouldn’t..."
She rolled her eyes. "What I thought. Alright let’s go all who’s going."
"My children won’t be going anywhere!" Molly said
Carmen shrugged "Suit yourself." She took out her wand and began to measure Molly’s younger children from root to tip. "I promise to get you both something awesome." She turned to everyone else going shopping. "Time waits for no one. Let’s get the show on the road."
"Where do you think the two of you are going?" Molly Weasley asked her twins.
"Out." They both took Harry’s hands and walked towards the front doors.
"No maroon!" Ron called after them.
"Would never dream of it." Carmen said in disgust. "With your hair and skin tone. What moron would think you looked good in maroon?"
Ron hid his laugh behind a cough at Molly’s glare.

Harry and Carmen were walking through Diagon Alley arm in arm. Harry was truly having a good time seeing all of the Christmas decorations that he was never allowed to take part in unless he was putting them up and then being shoved into his cupboard. He preferred to celebrate Yule, but it still made his heart sing to s...
"We should go check out the bookstore. I’ve spent a near fortune on books for the library and want to see what’s going on."
After reassurance from the bookstore, that the books were on their way, Carmen and Harry left.
"I hope you don’t hate me brother, but I need to use you for a moment."
"Use away sis. Is this about the shop owners who won’t do business with Caille?"
"Yup." Carmen walked into a shop that sold enchanted objects.
"Allow me sis." Harry said as he stood tall and proud with the Twins behind him in a protective stance after they locked the doors behind them. Sirius stood off to the side to see how things played out.
"Mr. Potter. Thank you for..."
Harry raised a hand to stop the man. "It’s Lord Potter. Let me make this clear. My sister is trying to help stimulate the local economy by buying everything in England." Harry glared at the shopkeeper. "A slight to her is a slight to the House of Potter."
"And to the House of Black." Sirius said casually as he twirled his wand.
"And House Weasley." Fred smirked.
The shopkeeper looked terrified. That damned elf had the nerve to defy him, and now he was about to be ruined because of it. "My apologies. It was a simple misunderstanding. It won’t happen again."
Harry gave a small nod. "Caille may not be a Potter elf, but she is the elf of the one that I call sister. I would hate to destroy you because of your attitude. On the other hand, I could be on the front page of "The Quibbler’ speaking your praises. Please tell your fellow shopkeepers what should befall them if they an...

"Damn Pup! James and Papa Charlus would be proud!" Sirius said as he rubbed his godson’s hair. They walked down the Alley and into various shops looking for gifts. They had just finished getting Ron and Ginny’s robes when Carmen came alert.
"Everyone follow me." She said cheerfully.
Sirius knew that look and sound and ushered everyone to follow her towards the Leaky Cauldron. She went on and on about shoes to go with her dress.
Andromeda gave Sirius a look. Sirius returned the look and she gave a slight nod of her head.
Carmen pressed into both of their heads. "We have a better chance in Muggle London. I gave my team the day off and I don’t want to have to fight with the little ones in tow.’
They made it to the pub and Harry sighed in relief. Sirius called out. "Get out! Death Eater attack! Go!"
Tom hit an orb that had been a gift from Sirius. A wailing alarm went off that most patrons knew meant an attack. People scattered through the door to muggle London and Tom locked the place down.
"Come. Grab onto me." Carmen said.
