Hell on Earth. It certainly was an accurate description of the prison he was in. Yes, Harry Potter, the Golden Boy-Who-Lived, condemned to rot in a cell till he came of age and then receive the Kiss
He had to be guilty, the evidence was overwhelming. With Percy and Bagman dead, and Harry unconscious on the scene, it just had to be him, according to Fudge. They didn't even check his wand. Fudge said, "Just like with Mr. Diggory, this traitor is found with the bodies of two Ministry officials and claims he was impersonated with Ployjuice! Bah."
Dumbledor wasn't convinced by this, but was confronted by Ron Weasley, who was using the Maruader's Map and 'witnessed' what had happened.
Memories of his parents screaming, Cedric dying...flashing through his head at all hours of the day. It was getting harder and harder to keep his mind.
He couldn't help but think of the trial, one day, during his short relief from the Dementor's presence.
...Flashback...
He was chained to a hard, wooden chair, in the middle of courtroom ten. Tears were streaming down his face as he looked upon the crowds. Fudge defiantly had the courtroom stacked against him.
Sitting off to the side in the witness's seats were the Weasleys, minus Ginny, Remus, Hermoine, and his big black dog Padfoot. Any other time he would have laughed at the look of betrayal that was on the dog's face, but now it only made the situation worse.
"The Wizemagot hereby sentences you to Azkaban, till you come of age, and then you will be given the Dementor's Kiss", said a grim looking Madame Bones. Fudge, being the arse he is, was talking to some high ranking officials telling them he always knew he was a killer, and that he saw it coming...
Tears streaming down his face, he was dragged by aurors to his feet where Remus punched him in the face and went to keep beating him but was stopped by the aurors.
Ron shouted at him, "You bloody traitor. You don't deserve the memory of your parents, after what you did to Percy", and took a book from his bag, a photo album to be exact, and tossed it in the air while Hermione shouted,"Incendio".
Harry collapsed in shock and they were surprised to find a look of utter defeat and sadness flash in Harry's eyes as his was forcefully dragged to the be portkeyed to Azkaban.
...End of Flashback...
Looking upon the Earth, Fate saw the hero of the wizarding world slowly losing himself to insanity when he knew he had to step in. If he were allowed to die, the world would be lost to chaos and despair.
So, she slipped a book under his cot and shooed the Dementor's away after having the boy fall out of his cot facing the book.
He only hoped the boy would be able to complete his destiny.
