Fallen Savior Chapter one – fall from Grace

Harry looked around the small cell he had woken up in this morning still trying to work out what had happened since no one had come and told him anything and the only thing he could remember was being attacked by Lucius and Draco Malfoy.

Taking another look around his cell, he felt tears start to run down his face when he remembered Sirius had experienced worse than this, jumping quickly to his feet he recognized the sound of footsteps heading towards his cell.

Albus Dumbledore approached the door to the cell where Harry Potter was being kept, he still couldn't believe Harry had done what he did stepping up to the door and pressing his wand against the lock the door opened to reveal the young man standing there waiting for them.

"Good morning Mr. Potter." Professor Dumbledore said as he stepped into the cell flanked by two Aurors, Arthur Weasley and Moody who all looked at him with funny expressions on there faces.

Harry looked up shocked at the arrival of the Order members and Dumbledore wondering why they were keeping him in a cell "Professor what is going on? Why am I in a cell?" he said looking bewildered at the headmaster.

Professor Dumbledore sighed 'so he is going to play games' he looked at Harry over his glasses a cold look in his eyes before he pulled out a piece of parchment and started reading it aloud "Harry James Potter, You are charged with the murder and torture by means of the Cruciatus curse of Dudley Dursley and Piers Polkiss who were both found in the park near Privet Drive, in Little Whinging."

Dumbledore paused looking up at the shocked look on Harry's face before continuing "Come now Mr. Potter, Your wand was found at the scene…when the 'Priori Incantatem' charm was cast it was confirmed that it was indeed your wand that cast the Cruciatus and Avada Kedavra Curses as well as a large amount of other violent or semi violent charms recently."

"I didn't do anything, I swear…

I was attacked by the Malfoys and knocked unconscious, I woke up here this morning…please Sir…I didn't do anything," Harry pleaded looking up at Dumbledore almost begging for him to believe him and understand.

Dumbledore sighed and looked down at Harry coldly "Lying will not help you Mr. Potter, you are charged with murder, you are to be taken from your cell now to the courtroom to be tried and sent to Azkaban."

Harry looked up at Dumbledore and saw the cold look he was giving him and looked to Mr. Weasley who sneered at him "Please Mr. Weasley, you know me…you know I wouldn't do this, ask Ron and Hermione they will tell you I couldn't do this," he said begging the man who he considered family since he was eleven.

"No Harry, Ron and Hermione won't defend you…even they think you are turning dark, you are a traitor to the light and worse you are a traitor to your friends," the elder Weasley said before stepping back out of the room eying the boy he thought of as another son with disgust.

Dumbledore stood quietly listening to this looking down at the younger man trying to work out what had changed, or when he had switched sides before he spoke up again "Mr. Potter you are hereby expelled from Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry pending a trial in the Wizengamot for murder."

Reaching into his robes the headmaster withdrew Harry's wand before his eyes and snapped it in half over his knee, while looking disgustedly down at Harry before walking out of the cell.

Harry watched as his wand was snapped in half before him yelling "No!" as he saw what Dumbledore was about to do. He fell back down on the floor tears falling down his cheeks as Dumbledore looked at him coldly before walking away.

The two Aurors who had waited at the back of the room stepped forward and picked Harry up off the floor roughly before dragging him out not even giving him a chance to stand before the male one that Harry recognized as Dawlish the man Dumbledore had attacked earlier that year stepped away from the two.

"Will you be ok to bring the prisoner Auror Tonks? I'll go and make sure the courtroom is secure" Dawlish said looking at the shorter of the two that Harry now noticed was actually a reasonably normal looking Tonks.

Tonks nodded "I'll be fine with him Dawlish, Signal me when the courtroom is ready and I will bring him in," she said nodding to the other Auror as she pulled Harry to his feet so he could walk.

Harry looked up and watched Dawlish walk away before he looked back to Tonks and said "Please Tonks I didn't do it, it was the Malfoys."

"I know Harry, I believe you…I'm sorry me and Remus have spent the entire night trying to find some way to free you…we both believe you," she said pausing for a second to hug him tightly before continuing "There is a note in your left pocket from Ginny, she believes you to," she stepped back from him watching him closely.

Harry smiled in thanks "Thank you Tonks, Please tell Remus and Ginny I said thank you as well," he said running his fingers lightly over the note in his pocket, looking up he noticed there were tears running down Tonks cheeks.

Tonks reached up and wiped her cheeks with her sleeve before saying to Harry "There going to try and crucify you in there Harry, they even have Ron and Hermione to testify against you," she paused to hug Harry again when she saw the hurt look on his face "Harry my wand is in my right pocket, I can't help you escape but take it and run…I don't want to see you in Azkaban, Remus is waiting at the Leaky Cauldron for you…you only need to reach the floo point in the atrium," she whispered nodding slightly.

Harry looked startled "If I run tonks they will think I'm even guiltier and you and Remus will get in trouble," he said shaking his head sadly "I can't do that to you guys."

Tonks grabbed him by the shoulders "Harry you will go to Azkaban or possibly even get the kiss if Dumbledore and the Minister can pull it off, there terrified of you turning dark," she said quietly "Now please Harry, attack me and run!" she said making it clearly sound like an order.

Harry nodded before reaching into Tonks pocket and taking the wand he muttered, "I'm sorry Tonks," before he turned the wand on her and yelled "Stupefy" knocking her out cold, he broke out into a run to the end of the corridor where he could see some stairs going up.

Reaching the top of the stairs Harry took a quick look around seeing two Aurors standing guard at the elevator he snuck into the room coming up on the left of the Aurors and quickly and quietly casting "Stupefy" he ran into the lift as the two Aurors hit the ground and pressed the button for the Atrium.

Stepping out of the lift he was shocked to see a lot of the Order members standing around in the atrium, before any of them had a chance to notice him standing there he started sprinting for the floo point on the far left of the room shooting off "Stupefies" as he ran past he was almost to the fireplace when Bill and Charlie Weasley floo'd in right in front of him both raising there wands instantly when they saw him.

Harry flicked his wand at the two yelling "Stupefy" he saw Charlie casually wave his wand deflecting the curse before Bill stepped forward and jabbed his wand towards Harry and shouted"Reducto."

Harry dived to the side as the curse flew by him and impacted the floor where he would have been standing before springing back to his feet and shouting "Impedimenta" at the two before he noticed the Aurors pouring into the room he made one last run for the fireplace and was about to step into it when he felt a spell slam into his back knocking him down to the ground instantly bound in magical suppression rope, he looked up to see who hit him and saw Hermione standing there with a triumphant look on her face before he was hit with a stupefy and knocked out once again.

Courtroom One

Dumbledore sat at the head of the Wizengamot waiting for them to revive the boy who had been dragged in unconscious five minutes earlier and dumped in the magically chained chair in the middle of the room.

One of the Aurors stepped up to Harry's side and pointed his wand at the boy and muttered "Enervate" waking him up.

Harry coughed and tried to move before he opened his eyes and looked around the courtroom at the sneering faces of the Wizengamot and his friends as tears started to run freely down his cheeks as he looked up at the Weasleys pleadingly.

"Please help me…I didn't do it…" he said his voice breaking as he cried.

Ron stood up a moved towards the railing and said "Go to hell Potter, you dark bastard…I can't believe we trusted you, you are no better than you-know-who!" he sneered before sitting back down beside Hermione, who had a victorious look on her face.

"Silence!" yelled Dumbledore as he stood up to address the prisoner who looked up at him with hollow eyes when he spoke.

"Harry James Potter, You are charged with Sedition against the ministry, two counts of murder using the Avada Kedavra Curse, two counts of using the Cruciatus Curse on muggles and attempting to start an illegal organization with the intent to recruit people" he finished looking coldly down at Harry,

"Do you have anything to say for yourself Harry?" he sneered.

Harry looked up around at all the cold and gleeful faces around him before he spoke up loudly "I'm innocent! I never touched those two. I was attacked by Lucius and Draco Malfoy; I was unconscious when my cousin was killed by them."

Hermione jumped up and shrieked at him "You foul evil creature, you killed him we know you did! Stop lying," with that her and Ron stepped forward and threw Harry's trunk down in front of him before both of them took there wands out and yelled "Incendio" burning it down to ash.

Looking up at his two friends he felt his heart break as they destroyed everything he owned and stood there smirking at him about it, closing his eyes he felt his heart shatter again and again as he saw them destroy his things, everything he had from his parents was left in his trunk.

When Harry opened his eyes and looked back up at his two old friends they were both shocked to see the dead look in them before he turned to Dumbledore and smirked at him.

Albus Dumbledore prided himself on rarely being shocked by anything but he was quite surprised when Harry looked up and smirked at him, even with the cold dead look in his eyes.

"Harry Potter, Do you have anything else to say?"

Harry laughed quietly "Yes I do Dumbledore," he said before he spoke loud enough for everyone in the courtroom to hear "I want you all to remember today, and remember it well…you are condemning another innocent to hell," he paused looking up at smirking at Dumbledore.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord Approaches,

Born to those who have thrice defied him, Born as the Seventh Month Dies,

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal,

But he will have power the Dark Lord knows not,

And either must die at the hands of the other,

For neither can live while the other survives,

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies."

Harry looked up at smiled at the look Dumbledore gave him before he said "I want you all to remember this, that old bastard," indicating Dumbledore with his head "Has killed and destroyed lives to protect this prophecy that says I am the only one able to defeat Voldemort."

Dumbledore looked down at Harry shocked that he had told everyone the prophecy; he looked around at the shocked and disturbed looks on the faces of everyone in the courtroom before noticed Ron jump to his feet.

"You're a LIAR," he yelled the last word "You're nothing special Potter, the Dementors can have you!" he snarled.

"Suit yourselves, but know this…I will not forgive and I will NEVER forget," he said before adding in a menacing sneer "Voldemort is welcome to most of you," he finished before sitting back quietly.

Dumbledore looked down at the boy before he said clearly "Harry James Potter, the Wizengamot finds you guilty of all charges. You are sentenced to receive the Dementors Kiss on the day of your 17th birthday until then you are remanded to death row at Azkaban Prison."

Just as Dumbledore finished talking four Dementors glided into the room and surrounded Harry who instantly collapsed forward and gasped as he heard his mother screaming in his mind.

He was dimly aware of the slimy scabbed hands that grabbed him and dragged him from the courtroom. The last thing he saw, before he lost consciousness, was the sneering faces of Ron and Hermione.
