Hans appeared with the two girls in the atrium of the ministry. Justice was going to be served today.

*Kiley stood next to Hans in Weston's old shirt and a pair of his bexers. Her hair was down seeing as she'd just woken up about a half an hour before. Kiley glanced around to see where they were.*

"Shade Veckelo is going to be destroyed today!" Hans said with great determination, he too hated Shade for taking over hogwarts and almost destroying it.

"His trechery and arrogance has gone further....further..." Hans stopped in a daze and ran to an odd place, knelt and picked up a pebble. "Hello my love," he said in a silly voice. "Come now, there are no secrets between friends."

He grew angry and smashed the pebble onto the floor. He turned to Kiley, "He was working for the Dark Lord."

*Melanie tried to get over the initial nausea that came with apparating. When Hans started to talk to the pebble, she was reminded of why she tried to avoid being around him at all costs.*


~Mel

Hans soon regained himself and soothed his throat with a gallon of green tea.

"The Dark Lord has spies everywhere." He sipped his tea.

"Why are we here again?"

Melanie:"To tell the Ministry about how Kiley was raped by Shade." *Melanie said slowly and clearly*



~Mel

*Kiley sighed, remaining silent. She tried to brush through her hair with her fingers half-heartedly*

A familiar raspy voice cackled over Hans's response, a chilling sneer that stopped Hans in his tracks.

"Now now Melanie, we arnt throwing accusations around again," Said Harshing from a little way away.

"Great. Just who we wanted to see right now." *She whispered under her breath, looking down ath her bare feet*

"Professor Mcarther sent a split second telegram to us just before you apparated here. Thankfully I recieved the telegram - I shall be dealing with this case personally, the full wizengamot will not be needed." He smiled

He led the way through a network of corridors and tunnels, getting lower and lower. Finally he entered a large court room, empty. He sat on the highest chair. Shade was dragged in, roaring demands and chained to a chair.

"Silence Mister Veckelo!"

"Mel and Kiley, be seated and chained. Hans be seated."

"Why? We didn't do anything." *She protested , but not sounding very confident about it*

"SILENCE IN THE COURTS! Everyone involved is required to be chained in anti-magical silver!"

*Kiley stumbled backwards when he yelled and fell into the chair waiting patiently for her. Immediatly the chains sprung to life around her and bound her to the chair. For once she didn't fight back and just let it happen.*

"Good." Harshng smiled slickly.

"We are here today because of the accusations made by Miss Melanie Hunter, instigated and officiated by Mister Hans McArthur, and victim miss Kiley Stewert against Mister Shade Veckelo."

He slammed down the javel. "The Trial Has started. Miss Hunter, please tell the court, succinctly what you are accusing Mister Veckelo of."

Melanie:"Raping Kiley Stewert." *she replied, not seeing why he said 'tell the court' when he was really the only one there. She knew it was hopeless and wasn't even bothering to try and win.*


~Mel

Harshing's eyes lingered on her for moments, "A serious accusation. One of which the court shall deal with delicatley...."

He snapped to Kiley - "Do you agree with this charge?"

*Melanie looked up at the ceiling, remembering her own trial (but where Harshing and Grendal were the causes) and how little good came of it. She knew this would be no better.*



~Mel

*Kiley nodded, not looking at him* "Yes...I agree..."

"Have you any evidence?"

He asked either of them.

Melanie:"Yes. Kiley. Examine her, and ask her to put the memory into a pensieve. You can't get much better proof than that." *she was now cursing herself for putting the sheets into the wash- that would be evidence!*


~Mel

"I might have proof still....on me." *She said quietly* "I haven't showered yet." *She explained*

"Memories can be modified!"

Harshing flicked his wand with a weird smile and sent disinfectant at the chained kiley.

"But you're tampering with evidence!" *She snarled, a hint of her old intensity bubbling foward*




ooc: okay, so, in england, if there was reasonable doubt, would that be enough to convice shade? because that's how it is here, but I dunno if that's the same.

OOC: In real life courts, Shade would indeed be in jail. However seeing Harshing is performing an illegal trial without the Wizengamot, and destroying evidence Kiley has no real proof. This would be an ideal time for Isobel Beckett to enter, so both SHade and Harhsing can be sentenced to Azkaban.

BIC:

"What evidence?"

He giggled.

"Kiley and Mel, I accuse you of lying in a court of law, persecuting an innocent man and causing malcontent with Hans Mcarther. You are none other than trouble making brats, unworthy of licking the dirt in Hogsmeade. I pass a sentence of five years in Azkaban for each of you." He slammed down the javel, still laughing.

OOC: *Sigh* So I guess that's you saying "Mel, you are stupid and lazy and need to post as the Minister", right? lol.

IC:

*Just as Mel was going to shout back at Harshing in protest, the doors of the court room opened and Isobel looked around. A trial? She assumed, what else would it be. But it wasn't authorized....*

Isobel:"Coldstone what in the world do you think you are doing?"



~Mel

He looked at her for several moments, silenced and gobsmacked that she had discovered his little "trial." He roared in a very barty crouch from goblet of fire film and began to run from his seat.

*Isobel shot a non-verbal stunning spell at Harshing and hoped that it hit him*


OOC: Isobel's like...uber powerful, so yes, she can manage to do that. I just don't know if it would work on Harshing cause he's just creepy. lol.



~Mel

OOC; May as well have a little bit of a fight sequence.

Harshing forced the curse off with tremendous effort. He raised his wand and pointed it at Hans, muttering a curse in an ancient tongue. He crumpled to the floor.

He then turned to Beckett, she was Minister, a powerful magical witch. He aimed and fired an Avada Kedavra at her, running to the exit, hoping that the decoy would be enough.

*As Isobel was distracted by the curse and jumped out of the way to avoid death, but, thinking quickly, she pulled out her wand*
Isobel:"Colloportus!" *she shouted, her wand pointed at the door that Harshing was headed for. She used it on any other door that might be in the room as well. Once she had, she send another non-verbal stunning spell at Harshing.

Mel just kinda sat there since she was bound.*


~Mel

Harshing fought with the door but could not open it, the stunner hit him and he fell unconscious.


Hans woke up from his day dream and drew his wand.

Shade demanded release.

All Adam's characters looked at Isobel expectantly.

ooc: lmao. nice adam. lol

ic:

*Kiley sat frozen in her seat, not entirely sure what to do.*

There was a silence, hans stared intimatley at Isobel, then he burst into life: "One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow," he started quite sanely.

Harshing, Hans quickly chained him.

He laughed, "Kiley, one day I will take great pleasure in being the strangler of your throat, watching your tiny eyes go white," he giggled manically afterwards.

Shade looked at his chains. "Can somebody release me?"
