Chapter 12
December 21st 2000 11:48 p.m.
Luna was holding on to Hermione and Fred as they all swayed. Fred chuckled as he held both married women on either side. “I am so happy for you two, especially you Luna. Can I please be there when Ginny finds out who Potter married?” Fred asked them. “If you can't, I will be more than happy to give you the memory.” Luna said, smiling in her sweet voice.
“Will leave us alone now Fred.” Hermione asked Fred, pushing him to his wife. “Fine, fine, fine I will go. Good luck tonight Luna.” Fred said, winking at her. As soon as Fred had left Hermione turned over to Luna. “Are you okay Luna? You seem nervous.” Hermione asked her. Luna nodded and bit her lip. “Is just… Well you know I haven't… you know been with anyone. And well.. I heard things about Harry, biological things about him.” Luna bit her lip nervously.
Hermione smiled nodding, “You don't have to worry Luna.” she told her making Luna pull Hermione to one end. “Don't worry!? Hermione I heard he is big. What if he doesn't fit or it hurts.” Luna said in a whisper shout. Hermione shook her head. “Luna, when you bounded with him it made your body be bonded with Harry. You will be able to be with him just like me with Draco.” Hermione informed her. Making Luna blush.
“Excuse me Riddle or Hermione. But it is time for me and Luna to get going. We… Well you know, you and Malfoy jump the ship before the wedding.” Harry said, chuckling. “You ready Lu?” he asked, Luna took his hand and nodded. “Bye Hermione, thank you.” Luna said, giving her one final hug. As Hermione saw Luna walk away, some strong arms wrapped around her waist. “Looks like Lovegood is going to get sone alpha dick tonight.” Draco whispered. Hermione playfully slapped him in his arm. “Shut up Draco, if not you will be keeping that dick in your pants.” Hermione’s whispers back “Let's get going. I ain't to show you the new house.” Drcao whispered back pulling Hermione out of the tent.

Draco pulled Hermione tight against his body kissing the top of her head. “That was fantastic love. You think you are ready for a fourth round?” Draco asked in his deep husky voice. “Mmm maybe we can take a shower.” Hermione suggested pulling him for a deep kiss pulling his bottom lip. “You are on.” he said, slapping her butt.
When Hermione pulled herself under the shower a boom shook their house. “Ahhh, what the hell!” Hermione yelled as she was pulled into the floor. “Stay down! Is Dumbeldore's pack trying to get in but they won't be able to!” Draco yelled as he pulled her out of the bedroom. “We have to get changed and get to your parents house. There is a secret tunnel in the library behind the big photo frame!” Draco said as he handed Hermione a dress and shoes. They dressed quickly and made their way to the library. “Winky! Winky! Where are you!?” Hermione yelled.
Soon Winky popped in trying to keep her balance as the floor kept shaking. “Yes mistress?” she asked. “Come on, we have to get to my parents house. Follow us!” Hermione said. “Yes mistress but Winky will go first and make sure it is safe for mistress and mister.” Winky said, taking the lead. In five minuets Winky, Draco and Hermione arrived at the main manor. Where Harry was holding Luna in his arms while Loren walked back and forth. “Mum!” Hermione yelled as she ran into Her mother's arms. “Where is dad?” she asked, noticing her father wasn't anywhere near them.
Loren looked out the window where flashes of light could be seen. “He and Lucius had to make an appearance near the wards. So that old man could see him. He should be back soon, don't worry.” Loren said as she held on to Hermione. “My father is out there! I have to go help them!” Draco yelled walking toward the door. “Stop right there Draco!” Loren yelled, pulling Hermione beside her. “Tom doesn't want anyone to smell Hermione’s scent on you. Dumbledore would be able to smell you have a mate and we don't want that till the day of the trial.” Loren told him but ended up informing the rest of them of the next step in the plan to take Dumbledore down.
“But Dumbledore lost his scent when he fought against Grindelwald.” Harry told them, making them all stare at them. “That can't really happen to a true Alpha. Krum is a right tosser but his family brought us books that taught us all about being an Alpha. That's how we found out that Viktor and myself were the only two with the genetics of true Alpha blood.” Draco started to explain. Loren nodded as she was also taught this when she married Tom.
“If Dumbledore would have had some type of severe injury. His Alpha would have healed him instantly or hours if it was tragic. That's how I came out of the hospital wing in hours instead of days like other of my men after Weasley’s attack.” Draco said his mind was going far away. “What are you saying Malfoy? That Dumbledore isn't a true Alpha that he has been lying to us even more?” Harry asked walking closer to Draco.
Draco looked at him and pulled out his wand. “Potter I took a vow not to hurt you or at least injure you soviourly. So I must ask you to trust me right now. Give me your left hand.” Draco told him. Harry looked at Luna and she smiled at him. “You better not hurt me Malfoy. I just had the best sex in my life and I would hate to have just gotten a taste.” Harry said, extending his left arm as he winked at a blushing Luna.
Draco scoff and put his wand over him moving his wand from Harry’s left arm and his heart. Soon a red light came out from Harry's heart and a wolf howled out. At that moment Lucius, Tom and Snape came in looking at the spell they knew we'll. “What are you doing Draco?” Lucius asked in his fatherly voice. “Looks like Draco is testing Mr. Potter true Alpha. Are you distrusting our Lords word?” Snape asked Draco who just shook his head. “I don't distrust you Alpha. But I wanted to show Potter his wife and… and my wife.” Draco said the last part little more proudly.
Tom just rolled his eyes and gestured for him to keep going. “Potter just told me that Dumbedore lost his scent when he fought Grindelwald. I am suspecting Dumbledore has done one worst crime than what we have him down for. He has been lying about being a true Alpha.” Draco told them, making them all think. Tom looked at his daughter and then at Draco. “That makes me remember what Mr. Potter told us about Hermione. Molly made him believe Hermione wasn't an Omega. But Draco was able to scent her and so was I to some point. Dumbledore should have been able to scent something. Have you ever met Dumbledore Hermione?” Tom asked as he taught.
Hermione nodded “Only once and for like ten minutes.” she said. Tom nodded “If this new information is true. Dumbledore will truly suffer more than he could have ever imagined. Come on, let's go rest. It has been a long night. We will come together tomorrow morning to go over the next steps. Do not worry Dumbeldore won't be able to get into our manor and he has already sent off to his land. Let's go love, goodnight everyone.” Tom said as he took Loren's hand and left for their bedroom.
Harry and Draco looked at each other and their wives. “I think we should go to sleep. Come on Draco let's head back home, do you think Winky can pop us back to our bedroom?” Hermione wondered but before Draco could answer Winky pop in smiling. “Yes, mistress. Winky can take you and master back into your bedrooms.” Winky said, taking their hand and taking them back. “Well I am awake how about you Mrs. Potter.” Harry said, pulling Luna closer to him, pulling her chin up to meet his face. “I would like to have you again. I have missed out for many years.” Luna said with a blushing face Harry nodded and picked her up in his arms taking her back to his bedroom.

December 21st 2000 10:27 a.m. Riddle Manor
Tom smiled at the view in front of him. He could see the future right in front of him, a future where both packs united, making London an unstoppable power house. That morning he had gotten the message from L.M.U. they had informed him that Mr. Potter had to head back to Dumbledore land or to the L.M.U. offices. Tom had replied letting them know that Mr. Potter and his wife would be asking to stay at L.M.U. till a court date could be done. So officers for L.M.U. would be picking up the Potter's in the next thirty minutes.
“Alright everyone. The officials of the L.M.U. will be here soon. We should get started before the officers get here.” Tom tells everyone. Lucius takes Narcissa's hand, nodding toward their leader. Draco smiles over to Hermione and then at the Potters. Loren takes Tom's hand and squeezed it tight. Standing up he started to address everyone telling each of them about their role in the plan. How they must stay civil and work on pushing the opponents buttons in the most classy way possible. Right when Tom finished wrapping up his speech the officials of the L.M.U. come into the manor wearing their purple uniforms. Of course no one was allowed to hug Luna or Harry goodbye do to protective proseguir. Tom only was allowed to give Harry a handshake under the watchful eye of Kingsley Shacklebolt.
“Best of luck Mr. Potter, we wish you the best of luck. Hopefully the L.M.U. officers will let you and your wife finish your honeymoon. If you ever need anything remember the Tom Pack is always open for you two.” Tom told Harry right before he let them go. Like that, the rest of the pack head back to work and Hermione heads to her studies.

The holidays were put on pause for the Riddles, Malfoys, Severus and Regulus. They wanted to plan everything for court. They could celebrate in the new year for the start of a new life. Till then they will hold off on the holidays festivities.
December 27th 2000 09:02 a.m. Riddle Manor
Hermione sees her reflection in her bedroom mirror and she sighs out. Once again she was Jane Granger and back in dressing in muggle clothing. While she didn't mind wearing jeans and sweaters she had gotten used to wearing her robes. Plus it made it much easier for Draco to tug her into an empty room and fuck her.
“Is okay princess you will be able to be back to your beautiful self in a few hours. But this is necessary for does Weasleys fools to fall into our trap.” Tom told her as he saw her saddened reflection Hermione nodded in agreement. “But you will make sure they can smell I am mated right?” Hermione asked. Tom nodded “As soon as you spot the sheWeasley.” Tom reminded her.
“Alpha is time to go.” Draco announced. Hermione smiled at how handsome he looked. He was in a dark green men robes with silver designs. He had his family ring and his wedding band was hidden to everyone but her. “You look great in does muggle trousers.” Draco told her as he pulled her to kiss her. “Keep it in your trousers Malfoy. Come on let's get going Hermione you are going through with Pansy.” Tom said, pulling them forward making them chuckle.

December 27th 2000 09:02 a.m. L.M.U. Building
The L.M.U. building was huge. The tiles that cover the walls were made out of different shades of purple. Making it look almost as if dragon skin had been put up like wallpaper. The fountain in the middle of the main floor had three statues. One was Merlin on the left, on the right was Morgana and in the middle was the face of the current Minister of Magic Manerva McGonagall.
Looking at the retrieving form of her parents and husband Hermione took a deep breath. She had a few missions for today. One which was suppose to be done before the court started. She headed to the woman's bathroom and waited for a redhead witch to come on in. Knowing Ginny she would come to the bathroom to make sure she looked fantastic.
Five minutes later Ginny made her entrance into the bathroom and she chuckled when she saw Jane. “Look at what the wind blew in, a filthy little mudblood slut. You must be really happy at what your slutty cunt created. But don't you think only because you are living in the land of He Who Should Not Be Named. That you are going to walk free, Umbridge is our lawyer and she will make sure you rot in Azkaban for what you did.” Ginny told her with her head held high.
Hermione wanted to laugh at how ridiculous Ginny sounded. Having lived in her land with a strong woman she now saw Ginevra Weasley as a fool. But right now she was not Hermione Riddle, a pureblood witch, a shifter, an omega and wife of Draco Malfoy. She was Jane Granger, a muggle-born who didn't have magic, was not a shifter, and her omega powers were still hidden, and a weak woman. “But, but, it wasn't my fault. Ronald was the one who killed Crabb. It wasn't me.” she whispered voice trembling.
Ugh she hated being in this body. Just seeing her old figure and features made her feel weak. Not being able to smell Draco scent on her. Draco's scent was like a warm blanket around her body. Now she needed it.
“You fucken bitch! How dare you!” Ginny said, walking over to her and slapping Hermione across the face. Taking a handful of Hermione’s red hair she pulled her down. “You belong to Ron! And you went to fuck, fucken Draco Malfoy. How dare you blame him for taking action. This is all your fault and trust me you will pay.” Ginny said, pulling her down to the floor and walking away.
Mission one had been accomplished. Hermione stood up and looked at her old reflection. There was a huge red mark on her left cheek and her head hurt. Taking a deep breath she walked away and as she walked to the courtroom. She saw the Weasley family glaring at her but not caring she walked ahead looking at the floor. Mission two done, making the Weasley think she was still weak and hopeless.
She went to sit next to Pansy, Blaise, and Fred who was shaking. Hermione and Angelina held his hands tight. “Thanks, I am okay. I just really want to hug George and dad.” Fred said, voice low and full of sadness. Fred had asked Tom to be at the court case, he had said it was to support Hermione but Tom knew better. Tom had told Fred he could only go if he took Angelina so he did.
Hermione could still smell the soothing scent of Draco who was sitting in front of her with his parents and Snape. Up front her parents sat with Regulus and the Crabbs. Behind them Sirius, Remus were glamored with Viktor Krum who was in charge of making sure they didn't act up. On the other side the Weasley family took up the first second and third rows. Up front Dumbledore sat in his Grey robes with Dolores Umbridge in bright pink robes Ron in his used red robes and Harry in simple blue robes. Which was hard for Luna. Who had to be hard away from Harry and see Ginny try to get Harry's attention.
‘BANG!, BANG!’
The sound of the hammer made everyone stop speaking and pay attention. Soon two dark brown hair men stand and everyone else also stand. “Hello everyone today on December 27th 2000 09:30 a.m. we are here to discuss the issues between the south and north packs. I am Amos Diggory, your Head Judge. This is my son Cedric who is commissioner of this court house, everyone please take a seat.” Amos said, making everyone sit down as he told his son to pull out the paperwork.
“Alpha Riddle and…” Amos pauses and looks over to his son speaking to him in a low voice. Dumbledore shakes his head standing up “Judge Diggory I am still the Alpha of my pack. While I have given Mr. Potter the promist to become our next aloha he hasn't gotten married yet.” Dumbledore told them. But Angus and Cedric look over to Harry who nods.
Clearing their throat Angus speaks. “Albus you are aware Mr. Potter has gotten married already and claimed his wife.” Angus said in a clam voice. Everyone mouth drop and Dolores looks over to Dumbledore almost breaking her pink feather quil.
“What, mother!” Ginny screams. “Dumbledore explain this, my Ginny hasn't married Harry and is still a pure witch.” Molly demands. Luna huffs “Are you sure about that.” she whispered. Molly glared over to Luna. “Shut up you stupid girl! Don't you dare insult my daughter, you have always been jealous of my daughter.” Molly said, screaming over.
“Mrs. Weasley I will only ask you this once but respect Mrs. Potter. And Mrs. Potter, would you join your husband Alpha Potter please.” Angus asked her, making everyone stay silent. “What!” Ginny screamed pushing Purcey down to get to Luna but Harry turned around with his wand in his hand. “Sit down Ginevra! If you even think of hurting my mate, your Luna. You will suffer, do you understand!?” Harry demands.
“Harry!” Dumbledore yelled, making Harry pull Luna behind him. “Angus…” Dumbledore started to speak but Angus put his hand up. “Judge Diggory, one of the things we are here to fix is the fake marriage and have him marry the right witch, an omega. The only omega in our land.” Dolores said brightly fake smile. “This is not a fake marriage, Umbridge. I married Lu fair and legally and I claimed her, she is mine and no one will take her away from me. If you try I will be forced to press charges against you.” Harry said standing up to the old man he once looked up to.
But Dumbledore wasn't going to go down easily he wanted Ginevra Weasley to be an omega for one reason and Luna Lovegood wasn't it. “Judge Diggory I am forced to bring charges against Tom Riddle for using an unforgivable against Harry Potter, making him marry and claim the witch Luna Lovegood.” Dolores said. With a shake of his head Harry took Luna’s hand and walked over to the center of the courtroom. “If that is what he wants, it is so beautiful. But I do want remind everyone we are here for the killing and unforgivable Mr. Ronald Weasley committed against one of Alpha's Riddle men.” Harry reminded them.
Angus nodded. “Yes that is correct Mr. Potter but since we do need the head Alpha to speak on behalf of their pack members we do need to assure this marriage was made under the law. Now this would only take a second if you and your wife may stand under the L.M.U crest.” Angus said. Harry and Luna did as they were told Angus gestured for Cedric to pull out his wand and proceed with the charm.
Everyone on Dumbledore's side are holding their breath. Many hoping for the light to turn red which would indicate that the marriage was false. But to their utter dismay the light turns blue with bright silver sparks. “Well as you can all see the marriage is as real as any. From the silver sparks the marriage is also very strong. Alpha Potter Luna…Luna sorry but is just charming. You may take your seats. I apologize Professor Dumbledore but you will have to take another sear you are no longer the head Alpha of the North London pack.” Cedric informed.
Dumbledore pulled his robe behind him walking one row behind him taking a seat next to Arthur Weasley. Harry sits next to Umbridge not letting the old hag sit next to Luna. He really wants to let Umbridge go but Harry knows the old prejudice witch will be Dumbeldore's undoing so he will keep her for now. Then he will let her go for good.
“Ronald Bilius Weasley please stand up.” Angus told Ron who stood up straightening his robes and holding his head up high. “Ronald Bilius Weasley, you are been accused of the death of Vincent Crabb, the injuries of Gregory Goyle, Blaise Zabini, Marcus Flint and future Alpha Draco Malfoy. How do you plead?” Angus asked. Ron smiled “Not guilty Mr. Diggory.”
Umbridge shakes her head. “Your honor. Is what he means. Your honor Mr. Weasley can't be blamed for his reactions when the muu… squib who was promised to him slept with another man, a man who wasn't him. The only person to blame here is that young woman who is hiding behind another trator. I can almost assure that man planned it all to bring our wonderful pack down.” Umbridge accused. “Stay on topic Umbridge, Fred Johnson is not on trial nor is part of my pack.” Harry told her. Umbridge bent down and hissed at Harry. “Are you or are you not our Alpha? You should be protecting your pack members, not others.” she said in a low voice. Harry glared back. “If you wish to keep your job, do it. Defend the accused. That is your job not to point your fat finger at others. Now you can do your job or leave and leave my pack. Understood?” Harry said not blinking as he stared at the pink toad witch.
Umbridge just huffed and stood back up. “Councilor Umbridge, are you accusing the squib Jane Granger of planning the downfall of Ronald Weasley?” Angus asked. Umbridge chuckled but covered it with a cough. “Yes your honor I ask for that young woman to come forward.” she asked. Nodding Cedric made his notes. “The young woman known as Jane Granger… Do we have a certificate of birth for her? I have no records of her.” Cedric said.
Dumbledore stood and shook your head. “She was left in the nomans land her parents were muggles who didn't want her. She apparently showed magic but she doesn't has any magic which is why she didn't go to Hogwarts. I rescued her and handed her over to the loving family of the Weasleys.” Dumbledore said with his air of greatness. Tom softly chuckled into his hand knowing that as soon as they walked in they all swore to tell the truth. The old fool was tightening his own rope on his neck.
“Very well, young lady please come forward.” Angus gestured forward. Hermione stood up and walked forward. “Mr. Ronald Weasley if you may stand up next to Ms. Granger.” Angus said. Draco wanted to stand up and punch the git but Lucius made sure his son stoke to the plan. “Wait Draco.” Lucius whispered and Narcissa pulled out her wand using it to make sure any alpha smell her scent and her mate’s scent on her.
As they saw Ron walk confidently over to Hermione. But as soon as Ron stood next to Hermione he grabbed her and started shaking her. “You stupid bitch! Why they fuck do you smell like another man!?” Ron yelled. At that action Draco was let go free. Draco pushed Ron back pulling Hermione to his chest. “Don't you dare touch my wife!” Draco yelled, making everyone on Dumbledore's side gasp. “That is ridiculous that young woman was promised to Ronald Weasley. Your honor that marriage can't be legal. I issue an investigation toward Tom Riddle!” Dumbledore yelled standing up.
“Sit down!” Angus yelled back. “You know better Albus you are not a lawyer and not allowed to ask for an investigation. Was there paperwork of this union?” Angus responded. Draco answered before anyone else could. “The Weasleys sign a document breaking that union so their son could be let go from our land. I was free to marry her plus she is my mate.” Draco said lovingly looking at Hermione.
“Noooo!!! She is mine!! I was promised her she was supposed be my bitch!!” Ron yelled trying get to Hermione but Draco pulled out his wand and Tom stood with his people. “Your honor, that young woman is part of my pack. Dumbledore never made her part of his pack as part of my pack I will not have Ronald Weasley hurt another family pack because he can't control himself.” Tom said. Regulus stood up next “I order an investigation toward Dumbledore and his pack. He obviously has lost control. I do hope Mr. Potter can fix the issue the old leader had. But in order to do so he will need to know where that man went wrong. Starting with not having paperwork for the young woman known as Jane Granger in the North London pack.” Regulus ordered.
“That is an outrage. We all know the real monster is Tom Riddle who fled my land taking many of my pack members.” Dumbledore emailed. “Your honor you can't let these people speak like that. They are obviously speaking from spite.” Umbridge said. Angus shook his head. “Silence! From what I have seen here this has gone far enough. Both pack were worned when they were divided that no war was suppse to happen. From what we have heard the only pack who is yelling and attacking is the Northside London Pack. Because of what I have seen here today I will be calling our Minister of Magic. Cedric call for Minister of Magic Minerva McGonagall.” Angus exclaimed.
Everyone went silent. Dumbledore looked like he could spit fire from his eyes. Umbridge moved as if centaurs were kicking her. While Tom and his people smiled internally knowing that this was what they had planned for. If they were lucky McGonagall would put a rain shower making sure all charms fall. The woman had come forward in life leaving Hogwarts two years ago and becoming Minister of Magic. She was a force to be recon with she would make everything right in their world.

December 27th 2000 11:43 a.m. L.M.U. Courtroom
It had taken McGonagall twenty minutes to join the courtroom. As soon as she walked in she was able to feel the tension in the room. Walking forward with her head held up high she made it to the front where Angus sped her up on what was going on. Minerva nodded and took the seat Angus had taken.
“Good morning everyone please take a seat.” Minerva told them all. Everyone took a seat again and waited for what the witch was going to do next. “May the young woman named Jane Granger come up.” McGonagall gestured forward. Hermione squeezed Draco’s hand and then stood up. She could feel the stares of everyone on her, especially the Weasleys and Dumbledore. When she arrived in front of the courtroom she looked up at the elegant woman.
With a snap of McGonagall fingers a chair came behind Hermione. “Take a seat my dear. Now tell me what happened on the night of October 1st and what has happened since. I was told you got married.” McGonagall asked her. Hermione nodded and took a deep breath.
“The night of October 1st everyone was going to Mr. Potter's ball. So Luna and I went out for the night. I didn't know we were going to the south side of London but we did go to the city and ended up at the nightclub owned by my now husband. We met and one thing led to another. Before I knew it we had kissed and then went to his office where we started to be intimate…” Hermione started to explain but was interrupted.
“You fucken slut!! I should had fucked you when I had a chance.” Ronald screamed, making McGonagall look at him Umbridge pulled him back to sitting. “I am sorry Ms. Gra… I apologize Mrs. Malfoy, please carry on. Dolores, make sure to keep your client silent or I will be forced to make my own decisions.” McGonagall said. Hermione smiled softly making sure the stern witch did not see her.
“Thank you Minister of Magic, well Draco and I were attracted to each other right away. Then we heard a boom and that's when Ronald walked in attacking. I don't know what happened next since I was unconscious. When I woke up I was at Riddle manor.” taking a pause to look back at her father. “Of course everyone in the Riddle pack thought I was a spy. But when they found out I wasn't part of the pack and how the Weasley family had treated me. They offered me to become part of their pack. Of course after the Weasleys broke the wedding contract they had with me. They got their son back and I was freed.” Hermione informed.
“What!? You two did what!?” Dumbledore said, standing up, his voice angered. Molly shook her head and tried to explain herself. “Please Dumbledore, they can't believe that girl. She is lying, we treated her wonderfully.” Molly said lying threw her teeth. Hermione looked behind her and stood from her chair. “Treated me well? Treat me well, are you joking?” she said in a loud voice making Ginny stand up next. “Take a seat and remember who you are, an orphan with no magic or gift. You were lucky my family picked you up. Only because you married Malfoy for his money doesn't mean you are somebody now.” Ginny huffed.
“I didn't marry Draco for his money, I married because he is my mate! Mrs. Weasley you call being tortured and poisoned for years living in a loving home. Been given to your son because you wanted your daughter to be the only known Omega. I was tortured in your home Ronald sexually assulted me for years, you amd your family treated me like a maid and my magic suppressed for years. Not to meantion the cruisios I was hit with multiple times. So don't you dare tell them you loved or cared for me!” Hermione exploded. Making the Weasleys gasp in out rage as the others murmur around.
McGonagall bands the hammer to get everyone to hush up. “Silence! Mrs. Malfoy, are you telling us that you have been tortured by the Weasley family? That they suppressed your magic?” McGonagall asked, her eyes wide. Hermione nodded “I am willing to hand you over my memories.” she said. Cedric walked down and used his wand to take the memories from her.
McGonagall used a pensive that was always in the courtroom. When she came out she shook her head, her eyes burning with fury. Then as fast as a lightning bulb she pulled out her wand and made the ceiling crack. The lightning crack everyone gasped as the ceiling rained down on them all. The rain was so strong and heavy it made everyone close their eyes. After what felt like an hour but was actually two minutes the rain stopped.
When everything cleared everyone in Dumbledore's side gasped. “Who the fuck is that!?” Ginny asked, pointing at Hermione. “Are you alright Ginevr? Is me the young woman you use to hex with crusio curses.” Hermione said. “You are not Jane Granger, your not that mudblood slut! Who the fuck are you!?” Ginny yelled.
McGonagall used her wand to put a detecting charm on the young woman in front of her. She was also concerned she had used a sticking charm so no one would have been able to move. So the woman in front of her was the same woman she had spoken to a few minutes ago. When the detecting charm came up it read. Hermione Loren Riddle Malfoy the mate of Draco Malfoy part of the Riddle Pack and the daughter of Tom Riddle And Loren LaFey.
McGonagall looked over to Tom who nodded at her. Standing up Regulus spoke up, “Minister of Magic McGonagall if I may take the word Alpha Riddle has the suspicion that Albus Dumbledore is the one who kidnapped his daughter eighteen years ago. As we all know Dumbledore wasn't plead when our Alpha left his land and made his own pack. Isn't suspicious that he was the one who took the young supposed muggle born girl to the Weasleys, a young girl who was tortured in that household. Now right in front of you and both packs she is splashed with waterloo charm and is presented as the long lost daughter of my pack. Isn't that odd?” Regulus explained and taking a seat again.
“That is odd. Albus do you have anything to explain?” McGonagall asked him. Dolores stood with a giggle. “Minerva…” Umbridge started to speak before McGonagall glared at her. “Sorry, Minister of Magic, but Alpha Dumbledore won't say anything if he isn't on trial.” Umbridge said smiling. McGonagall nodded with a smile. “Just like you said Dolores, Albus isn't on trial so he doesn't need you. Now, Albums I will ask you one more time. Can you explain why the young girl you took to the Weasley family is the lost daughter of Alpha Tom Riddle?” McGonagall asked Dumbledore with a disappointed sigh.
Dumbledore looked like he could kill someone. But McGonagall looked at that man she had known for decades. She had known his eyes to go green when he got upset, his alpha coming out. But right now his eyes were not changing. She squinted and tapped her fingers taking all the information in front of her. Why weren't his eyes not shifting and had he actually taken the daughter of one of their old students. Minerva had liked Tom, he had been a smart kid and would be a wonderful leader. Tom Riddle had become a great leader.
“Like I had explained to everyone before I fou… I founddd… what the fuck did you hit me with Minerva!?” Dumbledore exploded. “Waterloo had a true charm; everything that has been said here has been true. If anyone tried to lie they wouldn't be able to. Now do you wish to keep lying to us or tell us the truth?” McGonagall asked with her hands crossed.
“¡¡¡YEAH TELL EVERYONE THE TRUTH DUMBLEDORE START BY TELLING EVERYONE WHO REALLY KILLED JAMES AND LILY POTTER!!!” a loud voice is heard when everyone turned around they saw Sirius walk forward with Regulus on his heels making everyone gasped.
“Guards arrest them! They escaped Azkaban.” Dumbledore yelled pointing at both men. “Freeze, I give the orders here. Bring Albus Dumbledore forward Mrs. Malfoy you may sit with your family.” McGonagall said in her demanding voice. Hermione walked back to sit next to Draco as Sirius and Remus remained standing with Viktor by their sides. While Dumbledore walked forward with his head held high.
McGonagall spoke over to Angus and Cedric both men nodded. Cedric started to write down something in parchment. As soon as he finished writing he handed it to McGonagall's hand. She think him and looked over to her audience. “Ronald Bilius Weasley please stand.” the voice of McGonagall said firmly. Ron stood with a smile on his smudged face. “From what I have heard and seen. You were not Jane Granger’s mate. Also she was not Jane Granger so she would not be able to be promised to you. Due to that you are not paurdon from the crimes you committed. You will be sentence to Azakaban prison for the next one hundread years. For the crimes of the death of Vincent Crabb, the injuries of the pack members of the Riddle back, and the sexual assault of Hermione Loren Riddle Malfoy.” McGonagall sentence making Molly scream out in pain.
“You can't do that! My poor babe is innocent!” Molly screamed. McGonagall grind. “Don't worry Mrs. Weasley your son won't be going to Azkaban alone. Ginevra Molly Weasley and Molly Weasley you two will be sentenced for fifty years in Azakban for the uses of the crusio curse and torture of Hermione Loren Riddle Malfoy. Guards take them away.” McGonagall announced six guards took Molly, Ginny and Ron away. Ron and Ginny were almost carried out as they yelled treats toward everyone.

December 27th 2000 01:37 p.m. L.M.U Courtroom
It had been a long morning and the beginning of the case had ended up with three out of the nine Weasley be sentence to Azkaban. Due to Ginny's omega gift she would be given the same potion Hermione had been given for years. Now it was time for Ginny to feel what Hermione had gone threw and with out ever finding a mate. Molly would be forced to never be part of her children's future and never see her grandchildren. While Ron's plans to become a pro quidditch player would never happened. Plus Ginny, Molly and Ron would have to go to Azakaban knowing the witch they tortured for years was happily married mated and was a pack princess. That would be their own kind of torture.
But when waterloo charm showed that the young girl Dumbldore apparently saved. Was actually Tom Riddle’s lost daughter things started to change but the real flip was when fugitive Sirius Black and Remus Lupin came out accusing Dumbledore for killing the parents of Harry Potter the new alpha of the North London pack.
McGonagall had met Albus Dumbledore when she was a student at Hogwarts; he was a new staff member. Always thinking he was better than anyone else. McGonagall's dislike hadn't changed toward Dumbledore in the following years. But she was a fair woman and would put her feelings for the old wizard to the side.
“Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore you are been accused for the kidnapping of Hermione Loren Riddle. The deaths of James Potter and Lily Potter. I was also given the paperwork for the accusation of fraud. The fraud accusation is of lying about being a head Alpha. If these accusations turn out to be true you will be going to Azkaban for the next hundred years.” McGonagall informed him, her stare firm. Dumbledore just lifted his head not showing any fear.
Cedric cleared his though, “First witness called will be professor Horace Slughorn. Dumbledore smirked at seeing an old friend. Slughorn sat in it's witness stand and was asked to drink truth serum. “Every witness will be given a truth serum when they are brought up to the stand. Judge Angus Cederic will be the one asking all the questions.” Cedric reminded everyone.
“Good evening Slughorn, how long have you known Albus Dumbledore?” Angus asked. Slughorn smiled softly. “Oh I met Albus in 1924 at a Yule Ball in France we werr students at Hogwarts but didnt speak. We kept in contact secretlt and reconnected when we both started to work at Hogwarts together in 1935.” Slughorn answered.
“Do you remember when Albus became head Alpha?” Angus asked. Slughorn nodded. “Yes, in the summer of 1946. He had single-handedly defeated Grindelwald half a year before. He has been the best Alpha we have had even without an omega or mate.” Slughorn nodded. Looking at his notes Angus looked at the charming old man.
“Do you believe Albus Dumbledore would have lied or killed anyone to keep his position?” the final question was asked. Slughorn stayed quiet for a while. Then he nodded, “He is very ambitious and would do anything to keep gis position. But I don't know if he would kill anyone, he dislikes blood.” Slughorn said, smiling. With that Slughorn was let go back to his seat and the next witness was called.
“Second witness is Remus Lupin, Mr. Lupin if you may come up to the witness stand.” Cedric asked. Sirius huffed in annoyance but they had all agreed that Cedric was a betteitwithness than Sirius who was more emotionally unstable. Having been adopted by the Potter family when he was fifteen. They all knew if Sirius went up on the witness stand he would fuck up everything they had worked for. So Remus was the next choice plus this man had more self control then anyone they knew.
Remus stood right after he squeezed Sirius hand and walked over to the witness stand. Taking a seat and folding his hands on his stomach ready to be questioned. Angus looked down at Remus while he was a modern man; he still disliked werewolves since one had killed his wife twenty years ago. Forcing him to race his son alone. Seeing this man in front of him was forcing him to be indifferent.
“Remus Lupin registered werewolf you are here to give testimony on the accusations toward Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Do you promise to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?” Angus asked. Remus shook his head. “Judge Angus Diggory I took the truth serum even if I wanted to lie to you, I couldn't.” Remus said with a smile. Angus growled softly but Remus was able to hear it making him be even more confident.
McGonagall slapped her hammer to get the man's attention. “Get on with it Angus.” McGonagall ordered. “Remus Lupin did you and/or Sirius Black kill or ordered to kill James and Lily Potter?” Angus asked, his eyes accusatory. Remus shook his head, “No, we didn't kill James and Lily nor did we order for them to be killed.” Remus said confidently.
“Then tell us what happened on the night of October 31st 1981?” Angus asked. Remus nodded slowly. “Just to be clear, all this would have been answered if anyone would have done just this when Sirius and I were accused. Instead of just taking us to Azkaban.” Remus said before he answered the question he was asked showing them how strong he was.
“On that horrible night Sirius and I were running late to pick up little Harry. Lily and I wanted Harry to experience muggle Halloween. We were going to pick him up and get him dressed up to take him out for the night. Leaving Lily and James to have a date night. But Sirius was called for a last minute case but when he arrived at the location he found out it was a trap. He was attacked and then portkeyed outside of James' home. While I was locked inside the house I shared with Sirius. Hours later a house elf I remember being named Kreature took my hand and apporated me outside James’ home next to Sirius. When we got our footing we saw the house had been destroyed. So like true Gryfindors we walked into the house. That's when we found James and Lily dead. At that moment Dumbledore's men came bursted in. That's when Sirius and I were accused of their murders without a trial if I may remind you.” Remus finish stating.
“We are not here to talk about your trial or Sirius Black. We are here for the accusations oo⁵wss head Alpha.” Angus said with a frowned on his face making Remus sit up. “Well I can assure you judge we will be back and I hope this time you don't take my condition in consideration. And that my statement today is taken nonbias.” Remus told him. “Next question please judge Diggory and stay on topic.” McGonagall ordered.
“Do you Remus Lupin believe that Albus Dumbledore has been taking the position of head Alpha under fake unsuptions?” Angus asked. Remus nodder confidently “Yes I do.” he replies Angus takes a deep breath. “Can you tell us why you think this?” Angus asked again. Remus nodded. “I can't smell it on him. I can smell four head alphas. Tom Riddle, Draco Malfoy, Viktor Krum and Harry Potter. Harry been the only on from the north London pack and our current Head Alpha. Also Dumbledore wasn't able to smell the still then Jean Granger even when she was an omega. Been a head alpha means you can smell at least the bit touch of an omega even if her scent is hidden. Before he tells you all that he lost his scent years ago. We all know that is impossible that the alpha gene would heal him. So yes I believe that man is a liar not just for accusing Sirius and I of murder but for pretending of been our Alpha.” Remus told them all with his eyes angered.
Remus was let go and it took McGonagall and Angus ten minutes to announce the next withness. This withness was been called by them by the L.M.U. meaning they didn't know from what side the witnesses was coming from. Everyone was holding their breath waiting for who came in. McGonagall stood up and looked at the audience. “As you all know the L.M.U has the right to bring in their own witness. Do to this case we decided to bring a person who is known from both sides. Peter Pettigrew come up to the witness stand.” Cedric announce gesturing for the man to walk down.
Peter was walking with a guard behind him to make sure he didn't look at anyone. When Peter finally arrived to the witness stand. He looked scared as his hands shook in fear. “Mr. Pettigrew do you know why you are here?” Angus asked Peter nodded in tears. “I do. I am here to tell the truth and die.” Peter said making everyone look at the man as if he was mad. “Peter why do you say you will die?” McGonagall asked the young boy she had thought. “Because I made an unbreakable vow. If I say the truth I will die. I will die too if I say who I made it with.” Peter said looking up at the woman and only perosn he trusted in the room.
McGonagall and Angus spoke for a second to get the question out in the best way possible to get an answer before the man was killed the vow he made with ssomeone. It took them few seconds to finally be able to figure something out.
“Peter Pettigrew were you paid to kill James and Lily Potter on the night of October 31st 1981by who or why, was this the same person who madd you make the unbreakable vow?” Angus asked. Peter started to cry and nod his head twitching in his seat. The charms McGonagall had put up was holding the vow back from few seconds. That is all they had seconds to get the answers they wanted.
“James… ahhhh James wanted to leave to the Riddle Pack… but he couldn't leave. We needed Harry we need Harry to be our Apha. Lily opened ahhhhh opened her mouth about equal rights. Dumbledore told me I had to fix it thaaaaast. I would be aaaaa heerroooo. That I would save our pack so I killed them.” Peter confessed making everyone gasp and scream.
“¡¡¡I KILLED MY FRIENDS BECAUSE DUMBLEDORE ORDERED ME TOO AND THEN MADR ME DO AN UNBREATHABLE VOW SO I WOULD SPEAK. FUCK YOU DUMBLEDORE FUCK YOU TO HELL!!!” Peter yelled screaming his final words before he died in front of everyone. Yells and screams were heard but the shadow of Dumbledore trying to escape froze everyone in their seats.
“DON'T YOU FUCKEN MOVE GUARDS!” McGonagall yelled pointing her wand toward Albus. Everyone who once stood up for Dumbledore took five steps away from the man they had respected that morning. Luna was holding Harry in her arms as the young man cried into his wife's arms. The man who had raised him was the man who had send a family friend to kill them.
“Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, you are by here charges of murder, kidnapped, and false taking the position of Alpha. You are here scentence to one hundread fifty years in Azakban. Guards!” McGonagall demands. “You are a sad acuse of a wizard. Your pack will be better off with out you. Best of luck Albus.” McGonagall told him as he was taken away with six guards surrounding him. The old man had been pointed with a silencio and a binding charm to make sure he didn't move or try use wandless magic to hurt at anyone.

With the trial over, yelling began to be heard out. Dumbledore was taken away with six guards. Many people had started to leave, while the reporters tried to get to Tom and Harry. But the L.M.U officers made sure Tom's and Harry's families got out of the building safely.
As they left the L.M.U building they apporated in the location they had agreed on. Tom arrived with Loren by his side seconds later Hermione and the Malfoys arrived. Harry arrived with Luna, Remus and his godfather Sirius. Everyone else had been told to head to their homes. The Alphas had something very important to do before the night started. No man's land had seen so much blood over the last twenty-five years. Now it was time to restore the land that once had been a war zone with a new start a new beginning.
What had happened over twenty-five years ago on this land was going to end and be brought back to its old beauty. It would take some time but this land would no longer be haunted with ghost or see blood of war nor tears of pain.
