The Real Harry Potter

"He's just a headmaster and you're still a professional lawyer so yeah." Harry replied.

"Ah excellent." Ted nodded.

"Right." Fudge said as they all stood up.

"Excuse me, what is going on?" Dumbledore asked. "I was under the impression that Mr Potter's meeting would be held here."

"No," Amelia Bones shook her head. "no matter how famous Mr Potter is he cannot demand a private trial. Usually if it was just one spell then there would be a simple meeting, however with the amount of magic performed Mr Potter will be taken to have a trial."

"You are taking him to have a trial in front of the Wizengamot." Dumbledore said, remembering how he was supposed to be attending a Wizengamot meeting in an hour.

"Yes."

"Excuse me," Harry said. "but it is my understanding that it is usually the Chief Warlock who is in charge of these sessions."

"That is correct Mr Potter." Fudge nodded.

"Well, perhaps we should have somebody else take charge today." Harry suggested, surprising everyone. "I don't want to be accused of only going free because I have a good relationship with the judge." Harry explained. "Madam Bones, you're head of the DMLE and I don't think we know each other well enough that you would push the trial in my favour. Is there any chance you can take charge of the trial?"

"It will be put to a vote, but that is an excellent idea Mr Potter." Fudge smiled at him. "When the session starts I will suggest it."

"Excellent." Harry smiled.

......

"Hey Tonks." Harry grinned as he saw the pink haired auror along with Shacklebolt enter the room.

"Dad? Sirius? Harry? What are you two doing here?" Tonks asked, seeing both her father.

"I am Harry's lawyer." Ted explained.

"Harry's being taken on trial because of all the spells that he performed when he was defending himself." Sirius added.

"What about you two? What are you doing here?" Harry asked.

"We're here to escort you all to the court room." Shacklebolt explained.

"Alright," Ted said as they stood up. "remember guys," Ted said to Harry and Sirius as they began following Tonks and Shacklebolt out. "Harry's emancipated so he does not break the underage law and he is fine on the statue of secrecy as it was self-defence. Stay calm and relaxed."

"We'll try." Sirius sighed. "Honestly from Azkaban to being on to the run to attending my godson's trial, I am going to end up grey haired soon."

"You mean like this?" Tonks asked before shifting her face into Sirius's face before changing her hair into curly grey hair.

"Oh god no!" Sirius said, looking horrified.

"Alright, alright, stop it before you give him a heart attack." Harry said, holding back laughter after seeing Sirius's face.

"Spoilsport." Tonks said before turning back to her usual look.

"Better looking now though." Harry shrugged.

Harry found himself sat in a seat, looking up at all of the Wizengamot. Sirius on the other hand was in the guest seats as he hadn't been officially declared Lord Black yet and therefore could not be a member of the Wizengamot, though he did want to take his seat soon. After the initial greetings and explaining of what had happened, Fudge voted for Dumbledore to be temporarily removed from his position as Chief Warlock.

Harry had expected Amelia Bones to be brought in but as the head of the DMLE she was in charge of the actual case so couldn't, therefore somebody else had to be voted in and it went to Madam Marchbanks, Harry glanced to Sirius who gave him a small nod which let him know it was fine.

"This is good." Ted whispered to Harry. "She's fair and that's good for us."

Harry nodded but didn't say anything as he continued looking around, he saw six aurors around the room including Tonks and Shacklebolt. He looked back up and saw the voting members, he knew that most of them were either in Dumbledore's pocket or Voldemort's with a small percent being in neither. Harry wasn't really worried about the ones who followed Dumbledore as they would want him free, as for the neutrals they would probably be on his side by the end.

Dumbledore was currently sitting in the guest seats along with Sirius, watching on with interest.

"Now Mr Potter," Madam Marchbanks said, catching Harry's attention. "you are currently being charged with breaking the statue of secrecy and performing underage magic, in fact it is your second time performing underage magic. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty." Harry answered calmly.

"Very well, let's begin." She responded.

Half an hour later Harry found himself still in the court, Ted was doing a rather excellent job as Harry's lawyer, so Harry wasn't really too worried. In fact Ted managed to get rid of Harry's first offence after explaining that it was Dobby, Harry who had been prepared for this called Dobby to testify. However Harry had also told Dobby to not say anything about the Malfoy's as Harry knew better than to allow his elf to make claims against one of the backers for Fudge's campaign.

After Dobby had explained that he was the one who had used magic in Harry's home and gave a false story about why, Harry was down to no offences against the underage and secrecy laws.

"Also," Ted Tonks said. "my client has become emancipated. He has been considered a legal adult ever since he had competed in the Triwizard tournament, documents had been sent to Ministry, clearly they haven't been processed yet. I have copies here." Ted said, as he handed out some copies to the members. "Gringotts already knew, they were the ones who confirmed my clients status as an emancipated minor."

"Mr Potter, have you been using magic before the incident?" Madam Marchbanks asked.

"Yes ma'am." Harry nodded. "I had visited my family vault and found a wand that I could use until the ministry became aware of my emancipation and changed my status to emancipated. I was told that it would be fine to use another wand until the ministry okayed it and removed the trace from my regular wand."

"Where is this wand?" Amelia Bones asked.

"Destroyed ma'am." Harry answered.

"Destroyed?"

"During the fight." Harry nodded. "I was using my spare wand at the start but then I ended up using my normal one which is probably why the trace went off."

"Very well, Mr Potter, this 'fight' of yours, tell us what happened." Madam Marchbanks ordered.

"Okay," Harry took in a small breath. "I was at my muggle relatives house, I was in my room. The next thing I know everything starts shaking, I look out the window and see this guy wearing a black hood shooting spells at my house. I quickly send my owl off so she does not get hurt. Then I jump out of my window and attack him."
