60 fate divergence

When I awoke, I was seated in that wooden chair, facing the entire Wisengamot, James Sr was gloating in his seat, Amelia was in her lord seat, Moody had his wand drawn pointing at me, along nineteen other Aurors. As for the other Lords and head of the Departement, I couldn't care less about them, but I was curious as to what charge them will keep against me.

"Hear! At the date of 22 December 1991, the trial opposing the ministry against Alexander Daren Evans will start. The session will be under the Chief warlock, Griselda Marchbanks."

"Thank you, Want are the charge pressed against Mr.Evans?"

'So they won't recognize my status as Heir?'

"Mr.Evans his accused of the murder Sally-Anne Perks, the murder of eleven Aurors and a professor of Hogwarts, Unlawfully declare an honor duel, the permanent crippling of three Aurors, and assault on the Heir of Hous Potter."

Judging by the gasp of the crowd, they didn't seem to have been made aware of the reason for the trial.

"Very well, you may process." When he hears this, James blanks for a second as well as the representative of the ministry. Seeing that the man didn't respond, Griselda raise a brow at him, making him sweat.

"Aren't you showing this body the proofs of your claim?"

"... Well, since from the trial of Lady Potter nothing was done, I Was..." Start the man, making the witch angry.

"Are you saying to me that you want us to condemn a minor without a proper trial?! I have for you to know that the action of Lady Potter has been witnessed for more than hundred of witnesses, she couldn't refute those claim! Now you will show me those proofs or I will have to free this young man right now!"

Hearing this, James, his ally, and those of Dumbles became aghast at the possibility that this monster was free without facing justice.

Nervously going through his notes while throwing a glance at the minister and Lord Potter, but no help came. Starting to be exasperated by the outcome that seems to draw on this, she spoke against.

"Let's start with the beginning then, first chief of accusation, you claim that the accused have murdered another student? What of this?"

"Ah! Yes, As of yesterday, the DMLE has been contacted by a student of Hogwarts, saying that he withness Alexender Evans murder says victim before dissimulating the body in the fabled chamber of secrets, says chambers having been open earlier, leading to the death of a full growth troll."

"What in Merlin shake was a full growth troll doing in Hogwarts freely? And why hasn't the DMLE alerted at the time!"

"The threat has been saying to have been dealing with, regretfully after the death of one Ronald Weasley." Say the shaking man, to affected to see that those flimsy charges would never hold for those he was facing.

"As their, any proof concording with the fact reporter by this student?"

"Yes! He says that he witnessed a green flash exiting the accused wand before the girl lay limply on the ground." At the allusion of a killing curse, her eyes grow sharper, while James became deadly pale, having no ideas of what his son has said to the Aurors.

"As the wand show any trace of the curse?" The man shakes even more under her stare before she turning her gaze at Alex who hadn't said a word since the start and sport a small smirk at the debacle.

"Since he seems unable to clear those facts, could you enlighten us Mr.Evans?"

"Sure, before that through, could I know at which time 'I was seen murdering the poor girl'?" All the gaze turns to the sweating man.

" 2-2 P.M"

"I see, regretfully I was in detention with professor McGonagall at this time. As I have been from the entire day. as for Sally-Anne Perks, should James Jr pay attention to her, he would have known that the girl has been taken out of Hogwarts since the incident of the troll and taken to America. As for my wand, they clearly were unable to found a trace of the killing curse as it was broken by the same James Potter after his attempts of murder, pushing me in the main staircase of Hogwarts under the eyes of a good portion of the students and professors, before they all start to laughs." Says Alex, his gaze boring at the Transfiguration professor who was white as dead.

The completely shocked gaze of the assembly hint at him that something wasn't right from her side, soon proved right by the chief warlock penetrating glare.

"Professor McGonagall, you know that perjure and lying at the Wisengamot is a crime, right?"

"She perhaps was hoping that I wouldn't remember the day as she had been feeding me the mind-altering potion, which I was exposed during the morning by Snape, They didn't seem to have the memo that I was impervious to those I guess." Say nonchalantly him, gleefully seeing everything crashing down all around them.

"We will come to this later, next, the account of murder!" The man was unable to process since he was basing his case on the fact that he uses yet again is a wand to defend and kill them.

"Let me responds to him. A group of ten Aurors where lead to the forest by James Jr while I was taken to says forest to serve yet another detention with the gamekeeper, the very forset we were banned to go. When I asked the reason that I was taken there, I receive no response."

"We where say that your attempts to flee the castle by the forest!" Shout Amelia, only receiving a scathing glare from the boy who shut her up.

" Don't question my intelligence, woman! Would I want to quit the castle, I would have taken one of the secret passage leading out of the castle, not endanger myself by going through a forest infested by Acromentulas and a herd of centaurs!" The venom present in his rent made all of them shrink in their seats.

"After their arrival, the man takes Heir Potter with him, leaving me with ten hostile men. I only defend myself, leaving them when the spiders arrive and start to tear them apart."

"You didn't help them?!" Shout James completely stunned, like the rest of them, that the boy shamelessly admits leaving them to their death.

"Why should I? They came at me with the intention to kill, not my fault if they were unable to think of escaping by using their broom or apparating out of the forest. As long as they stay inside the Wards they would have been able to do so."

"How do you know this? Are you ..."

"Oh for the love of God, just shut up, if you're unable to read a simple book, don't expose it to the entire world that way! As I was saying, I leave them to their death, after that, I return to the castle in order to claim Heir Potter life under the honor duel I have rightfully announced as per the laws."

"Honor duel has been banned by the Ministry Mr.Evans" Say the old lady severely.

"Since when?"

"I beg you pardon?"

"Since when have the duel been banned?"

"Since the last session of the 1 December..."

"You do know that it would only mean that all duel announced since would be illegal, right?"

"I don't see what it change, as you have only done so yesterday."

"But there lie your problem, I have sworn and claim on the 31 October, when James Potter has accused me wrongly of the opening of the chamber of secrets!"

When they hear another of their argument fall down, James and the Hogwarts professor where near to faint, nothing seems to take hold on the boy.

"That explains for the student murder, the eleven Aurors murders, the honor duel the crippling of three Aurors and the aggression on Heir potter but you still need to explain yourself for the murder of your DADA professor."

"Simple, he was a Werewolf, he was outside among students a night of full moon and represents a danger for the students. At very least Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape know it as she employs him and the second should be the one brewing the potion for him. Should you have the body, you would found that I stab him with a silver knife, leaving him poisoned. The cause of his death surely came from it, the silver must not have allowed him to heal, letting him bleed to death."

"As much as those words can be true, you are still under the laws of Britain, without proofs your claims will only be your words against those of the Ministry."

"I refuse to prove myself if you are unable to correctly administer justice the fault fall on you, not me. Are your DMLE that incompetent that they need to be given proofs rather than giving them?"

Is words immediately incense the crowd, flabbergasted at his gall to tear down their institution that blatantly, burning any support he could have gathered until then. Griselda tried to reclaim silence and only after three cannon blasts did she.

"If you are unwanting to forward those proofs, this jury will need to gather in order to debate, is that your wish?"

"I will not repeat myself."

The following twenty minutes were unbearable for all except Alex.

-Are you sure it the best thing to do?-

'I don't have a choice, if I want to have a chance, I need to stay on my claims.'

-Don't die on me buddy.-

'Never.'

When the door opens again, all know the result. Retaking her position and waiting for all to do so, she gazes at the young boy who burned his future when he wanted to act rashly. Sighing at this loss, she states the sentence with a clear tint of regret in her voice.

"Alexender Daren Evans, because of your refusal of willingly submit the proofs of your innocence, you have been found the culprit of the murder Sally-Anne Perks, the murder of eleven Aurors and a professor of Hogwarts, unlawfully declare an honor duel, the permanent crippling of three Aurors, and assault on the Heir of Hous Potter. Under such heavy crimes and while still minor, you will face 5 years in a high-security cell of Azkaban for the murder of one Sally-Anne Perks, until she manifests herself to prove to be alive. You will serve a further 5 years per murders. The family of those fallen will receive compensation of 100,000.00G from your vaults. For the breach of the law concerning illegal honor duel, a fine of 1,000,000.00G and three years in a low-security cell of Azkaban have been decided. The three Aurors that you have crippled will receive 50,000.00G each and as for your assault on Heir Potter, a fine of 50,000,000.00G for House Potter will be there to claim. Because of your illegitimate aggression, the charge of attempt of line theft as been had, alongside 5 other years in a high-security cell. Have you something to says before being escorted to the cell that will house you for the next 65 years before being transferred to the lower level for the additional 3 years?"

The harshness of the sentence was staggering, and all know that the child will never see the light of the sun against, less complete his sentence.

"Is this the will of the Ministry?" Say Alex looking at Fudge who raises proudly and looks him straight in the eye, showing a backbone only when everything was finished and under the waiting breath of the journalist.

"Is it!"

"Madam Marchbank, as the head of the Wisengamot to you endorse this?"

"I do, child."

"Who the new representant of the ICW?" Ask him with an unshaken voice at her.

She was a little surprised by the question but not seeing the harm at his was common knowledge she designs the man at her side.

"Will the ICW interfere with this case?"

"As representant of the ICW my voice is its will, you will not escape this by the international laws, they will back this sentence to the last second of your stay in Azkaban!" Sneer the man at him.

"So mote it be." Whisper Alex loud enough for three concerned parties to hear, leaving them confused at his last word but rapidly shrugging them off, sealing the fate of all as he was taken away.
