What if? What if Voldemort felt the Horcrux inside Harry? And when Voldemort summoned Harry to the Forest, he didn't kill him. That would be killing himself. He bound him, sent him to Malfoy Manor and made everyone think he is dead. Voldemort still...

Gasps erupted and the Court looked shocked and confused.

"Order! That is not admissible!" the Chief Warlock shouted.

"I'll give you what is inadmissible!" McGonagall shouted back. "The testimony from those other Death Eaters! The Veritaserum that was used so freely without a warrant during his interrogation! What was the evidence that this young man alone brought about, all that the arbitor claimed? No! I demand this Court follow procedure and justice to prevail!"

"Don't we have better things to do? I call for a conviction now!" the Minister shouted.

"That's illegal!" Headmistress McGonagall shot back.

"I am the Minister of Magic! I can do whatever I want to stop killers and torturers like him go free!"

The Wizengamot grumbled at his words, but McGonagall looked to the Chief Warlock. "Your honor! I hold you to your oath of office. Do right by the law and follow proper procedure. This young man deserves to have his say in what happened, if not for our own knowledge!"

The Minister glared at the Chief Warlock, but Thatchus Reacher sighed, "I must, in good conscience, let the case go on properly."

Draco let a breath of relief go out, though he still didn't have a chance in hell of surviving the day.

The Minister growled, "Fine! We don't need to convict him on everything. One is enough for a Kiss. We have heard testimony from Draco Malfoy's fellow Death Eaters of his heinous crimes against our Savior! I call for a guilty verdict!"

"I object! Draco Malfoy hasn't been able to contest their statements, nor did any of those witnesses see direct evidence of abuse."

"I'll remind you that Death Eater Yaxley testified that Draco Malfoy ordered Harry Potter to orally please Yaxley in front of the Dark Lord! He also stated that Malfoy let Greyback rape Harry Potter in front of the whole assembly of Death Eaters. Does Draco Malfoy deny this?"

Draco had no way to answer. He remained in his chair.

"Enough! It wasn't testified in this case, so it is not admissible!"

"But I have the Auror who interrogated Malfoy, and Malfoy said it did happen!"

McGonagall didn't have an answer for that. "Do this the proper way. Witnesses... evidence... procedure... or I'll spend the rest of my life petitioning for your removal."

The Minister went red. "You dare to threaten me!"

"It is a promise! I will not abide by a corrupt and power-hungry dictator."

"I am not...."

"Enough!" Thatchus Reacher roared. "We will carry on with proper Court procedure. Draco Malfoy... how do you plead to the charges that were read?"

Draco couldn't breathe... he also couldn't talk. He shook his head.

"You don't want to plead? You want to get this over with quickly, too, huh?" Minister Robards growled.

Tears welled in his eyes and he looked at Professor McGonagall, who understood. "He is Silenced."

She undid the spell and he rasped out, "Not guilty."

The Minister looked angry, but the Court proceeding went on. McGonagall acted as his barrister and got several charges dropped without him saying anything.

"And for the conspiracy to commit murder? What evidence do you have?"

"We know that he let the Death Eaters in!"

"How? You have to prove it! Same with the charges of Imperius and Cruciatus! There's no one left to testify!" she growled.

"We have his admission."
