They were accusing him of making Draco Malfoy disappear, Harry was surprised it took them this long, however, he needed to know how much evidence they had, so, he decided to keep himself calm.

Everyone expected Harry to explode but in his place, the young man remained in silence, he was looking at the headmaster or anyone else who could defend him but it was clear that he was alone in this.

“I don’t know what you’re all talking about,” Harry said with a calm tone.

“Don’t pretend you don’t know Potter, it’s clear that you wanted to take justice on your hands for what Miss Parkinson forced him to do with the imperius curse but that’s no excuse for you make him disappear!” Lucius growled angrily.

“Look, we just want our son back, we promise to drop the charges if you tell us where he is,” Narcissa was desperate.

Harry tried to feel a bit of sympathy for the blonde witch but according to Sirius’ stories about his childhood, Narcissa was the worst among her sisters, yes, she was the youngest and everyone protected her and thought she was nothing but cute.

In reality, she was a manipulator who got everything she wanted whenever she wanted, she was actually a sadist who practiced hexes on Sirius and there was no way for him to accuse of her anything because no one would've believed him, also, she was the one who tortured Kreacher and even if he didn’t like the elf, no creature deserved to be treated like that by their masters.

“I have no idea what you’re all talking about,” Harry said once again.

But before any of the adults could do anything, the room was stormed by a man whom most of the guests looked at with disgust.

“Ah…Narcissa, Lucius, this is unexpected but it’s nice to finally meet you after more than twenty years, Andromeda sends her regards,” said with a cheerful expression the man who looked to be in his mid-forties had brown hair and pale skin, he was wearing a black muggle suit and he was carrying a folder with documents too.

“Ted!” Harry said with a smirk as he shook the man’s hand, the older man whispered something in Harry’s ear and the younger wizard nodded. “Yes, I did as you told me,” Harry said with a calm expression.

“Well, nice to meet all of you I’m Ted Tonks and that is my daughter Nymphadora, isn’t she cute?” Asked the older man before he patted Nymphadora's head.

“Stop that Dad and it’s Tonks!” Complained the witch with pink hair.

“Oh, I’m also Harry James Potter’s lawyer, so, do you guys have a legal order to arrest my client?” Asked the muggle-born wizard with a serious tone.

That change of attitude took everyone by surprise, and soon, the minister received a message from Lucius Malfoy who was whispering to him.

“It’s not necessary, this comes under the orders of the minister which I don’t know if you noticed it's me,” Cornelius was clearly annoyed that his authority wasn’t being respected.

“That’s cute but that’s not a valid reason to arrest someone, otherwise it means that this country is being controlled by a tyrant which means that it’s legal for the citizens of this country to raise in arms to take back the country from the tyranny, that's part of the magical laws that haven’t been updated for more than thousand years in this country,” Ted said with a cold tone. “Are you a tyrant minister?” Asked the lawyer with a serious expression.

The politician’s eyes widened at the mere implication of what was being heard.

“O-of course not!” The minister protested offended.

“Then what is your basis for trying to arrest Mr. Potter?” Ted asked with a serious tone.

“Well, it’s obvious, he and Draco never got along,” Snape said with a cold tone. “Draco also attacked him under the influence of the imperius curse, it’s clear that there’s a grudge between them,” the potions master added.

“It’s obvious that Mr. Potter hates our family and what we represent and that’s why he’s trying to paint me as some kind of supervillain and now he went after my only weakness, my son,” Lucius tried to defend his family’s honor.

“Also, he was the last one who saw him alive, everyone was in the great hall while he was at the hospital the day Draco disappeared, it's so perfect that it's scary,” Snape tried to add more evidence to the claims.

“Do you have any idea which spell was used against young Draco?” Asked Ted with a raised brow.

This time it was Nymphadora who decided to talk.

“We found his wand in the forbidden forest but there was no trace of violence and even if there was blood around it, it was no human blood,” the metamorph said with as much confidence as she could.

Her father was truly scary when he was in lawyer mode.

“We found that a vanishing charm was used to make the wand disappear and after reversing the vanishing charm we found out that the last time the wand was in the castle, the thing was on the seventh floor, and according to the school’s portraits, Mr. Potter and his girlfriend have been spotted around that area this whole week,” Kingsley spoke this time.

Even if he had a serious expression, Harry was surprised by that reasoning, however, he had one last trick under his sleeve to save himself, soon, he whispered something in Ted’s ear and the older wizard nodded.

“Well, my client is willing to let you guys use his wand to check if the spells he used that day match what your investigation suggests,” Ted soon grabbed Harry’s phoenix wand and gave it to the Aurors.

“Do you want us to do this?” Asked Tonks to the family.

Neither the Malfoys nor Snape wanted to do this, they just wanted to throw Potter in Azkaban and be done with it, the justice system allowed for people to be thrown in Azkaban just because of rumors.

“Do it, Miss Tonks,” Dumbledore said this time.

He was getting impatient he needed to see his parents and his sister again with the resurrection stone and this was taking too long. Tonks looked at Harry before he nodded enthusiastically and then she did as she was told, she said a date, and the spells and the time they were used were revealed.

“Well, it seems like only one spell was used around that time was a summoning charm...Accio Hermione Granger’s arse?” Asked Tonks before chuckling.

Harry just shrugged his shoulders with a slight smirk.

“Wait a minute, that doesn’t make any sense, you must’ve performed it wrong, I always knew you weren’t fit for being an Auror, I know you cheated on your potions N.E.W.T.S. Tonks!” Snape said angrily before he tried to grab the wand from the Auror.

However, Kingsley suddenly used the magical version of a Taser causing Snape to fall on the ground whimpering in pain.

“Please refrain yourself from touching an Auror sir,” Kingsley said with a serious tone.

To clear the doubts they had, Kingsley did the same thing Tonks did and nothing but that funny prank on Hermione’s arse appeared on the wand's registry, he also did spells in his classes of that day, and he was also practicing what he learned during his free time.

“He’s clean,” Kingsley said with a confident smirk.

“Well, gentlemen…Ladies, it seems like my client is innocent, unless you think he’s somehow above Merlin and he’s able to make people disappear with his mind, then, we can agree that there’s no basis for the accusations which clearly means that he’s innocent…Drop the charges minister,” Ted didn't ask, he ordered the minister who was enraged for being treated like that.

However, before anyone could do anything, Lucius already had his wand pointed on Harry’s head, to say he looked angry would be an understatement.
