*He nodded in agreement.*
I should like to take an adjournment for a short time. On reconvening we may bring in some witnesses to testify.
Mr Peasegood, if you would be so kind as to escort Mr Heap to his cell.
Mr Malfoy, if you could go with them too.

*On hearing the other men speak of Heaps 'gift of the gab' he muttered quietly to those directly next to him.*
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

*Pius sat quietly after his outburst. The argument he had with von Heaps during the trial was not like the calm and self assured Ministry official. After von Heaps left, Pius spoke.*
"My apologies Minister, this man... something about him does not seem to strike me as insane nor a victim of circumstances. His constantly changing story makes any statement from him crude and unreliable, we must make a judgment based on the evidence we have gathered. If we decide to classify him as simply a brain addled wizard and lock him up like Lockhart then he can easily escape if he is only pretending to be. Can we honestly take that chance right now?"

*He nodded.*
Accepted Pius. I agree that his testimony is too convoluted to be reliable. That is why I would like to hear from some other witnesses.
If the court wishes to continue, I will cancel the adjournment and call a witness immediately.

*His first thought was 'I'd be glad to get this over with', but the wording seemed unprofessional.*
I say we carry on.

*Nods in agreement with Pius*
I agree, Pius. He seems more like a man who has been advised to act a certain way, and his long, drawn out speeches lead me to believe that he is mentally capable of trying to mislead others, especially since he managed to get into our Ministry and the Death Eaters before he tripped himself up on his own lies.
*Wonders is it just because of his dislike for the man following previous meetings on the Wizengamot, but he presses on*
I don't know about the rest of you gents ... and ladies ... *Adds with a nod to Griselda* ... but I think this one is worthy of the Kiss if he's found guilty. He's far too dangerous to risk in Saint Mungo's.

I agree. Let's carry on. I'd like to hear a fresh take on this.

In which case I will call our first witness.
*He checks his list to see who would be most relevant at this stage. Seeing as most of the trial had focused on the battle, and a number of people involved were also part of the court he called a witness he deemed suitable.*
I call Remus Lupin.

*He entered the courtroom, wrapped in a set of tattered robes (the nicest he could get) and took a seat near the back*
Yes Minister
*Standing, he stepped forward his eyes going from member to member of the Wizengamot.*

For the benefit of the court, Remus Lupin joined our Auror Team at the scene of the battle at the home of the Weasley family.
*He had not yet thanked him for his assistance, but the courtroom was not the place for personal matters.*
Mr Lupin, if you would, could you give us your version of what you saw in Ottery St Catchpole.

Heap look at Scrimgeour. "I refuse to belive every single guy in this court refuse to belive the truth..."

Excuse me Mr. Heap. The court is not addressing you at this time. I'd advise that you remain quiet.

Heap pretended he didn't hear Dawlish's words, just to anoy him, but didn't say anything more than making a loud jaw as reply of anyone talking to him.

*He banged his gavel a few times loudly.*
One more outburst like that Heap and you will be found in contempt!
*He relaxed himself once more.*
Please Mr Lupin, go on.

Heap looked at Rufus Scrimgeour and saw for the first time what the british Minister of Magic for what he was. A incompetent moron. A immature child trapped in a mans body. Contempt? What on earth was wrong with these guys? They can't say "You are guilty in attempt on murder!" just because they didn't like the face on the charged? And what was up with these idiots named Fudge and Thicknesse? Lies? There are limits to what a adult, mentally healthy man would have to except from strangers, be it in court or not. Unlike Mr. Fudge and his little firends, he himself actually has a doctorate in psychology. And since they didn't have any such thing, they didn't have neither the right, basis, experience or was qualification to practice psychoanalysis on other people's expense.
The whole court just made him want to throw up in the Minister's face, but he reminded silent, and rolled his eyes anoyed.
