Chapter 65: The result of a Trial

After the Christmas holiday, Edwin and Yasbel returned to Hogwarts and the day after the Daily Prophet headline was Trail of Peter Pettigrew is being held on the third of January when Edwin first read the headline his first thought was " There up to something "

Edwin couldn't help to feel that something was wrong as it seems that the Ministry is holding off the Trial and he wasn't the only one to think so; students at the Slytherin table had a hunch that someone in the Ministry was doing something and Edwin whole heartily agreed with them.

The days leading up to the trail Edwin was uncomfortable as the trio kept taking glances at him, Edwin wished that they would just say what was on their mind.

During Runes class Hermione who would normally sit near Edwin finally said something not relating to their class " How long did you know about Sirius " Hermione spoke very fast saying everything in a moment.

Edwin understood what she asked and mutter " Finally " before saying " Since I found about my father, " Hermione asked about how Edwin found out and he told her the story.

" If you found out then why didn't tell someone, " Hermione asked looking at Edwin " I mean why didn't you tell Harry "

" We're not exactly Friends " Edwin started thinking back " and he knowing wouldn't have helped the situation... If I could remember clearly you three made Peter run earlier than planned "

" What... That because we didn't know " Hermione said defending herself " If we had known we wouldn't have interfered and Peter still got caught so what's the problem "

" There is no Problem " Edwin quickly stated

" Is there anything else you know? " Hermione asked glaring daggers at Edwin.

" Nope, nothing Important," Edwin said going back to translating his runes.

When the day of the trial reached Edwin started to do final work on the prototype while waiting on the news of the trial from Ivan, Edwin had to make one last modification to complete the Prototype, the last modification is to allow a micro-disk to play by sliding it into a slot that is located on the right side of the Prototype.

As Edwin was placing the cap on the slot someone started to knock at his door " Edwin Your father sent the message " Isabella said as she continues to knock.

" Hurry and get decent " Draco added " we wanna hear how it went "

" Decent " Edwin questioned in his mind as he locked the cap on " You could come in "

They walked into his room and made themselves comfortable Daphne and Isabella sat on the bed, Edwin collected the letter and went back to his desk opening the letter and read it before saying anything.

" Edwin the trial went great, Peter Pettigrew new residence will be at Azkaban But I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong the trail went smooth too smooth the rat bastard didn't speak of you know who followers to save his skin but he just admits to everything from betraying the Potters to killing the muggles by accidents, Sirius Black is now free and is trying to get custody of Harry I'll visit you soon and tell you more after calming your mother, take care "

Edwin read the letter out loud leaving the 'I'll visit soon' Part to avoid questions.

" How long do you think he'll last, " Draco asked Theodore who was standing by the door.

" Don't know maybe a while, unless he's sharing a cell with Bellatrix " Theodore shrug as he answers

" You two know something," Daphne said as she glanced at Draco.

" I don't know what you're talking about Daphne " Draco replied with a shrug

" Fine keep your secrets then " Edwin stated as he placed a micro-disk into the Prototype and turned it on; Don't stop me now by Queen started to play out-loud, Edwin was sure that the persons around his room could hear the song so he quickly turned it off.

" What was that, " Theodore asked as he looked at the Prototype.

" I dunno," Edwin said shrugging and adjust the volume of the Prototype then put it on, with the volume lowered it the music blocked out the voices of Daphne who was arguing with Draco.

" It does its job " Edwin mutter as he continues to listen to music as he ignores his friends moving lips; they kept pointing at him saying something but Edwin couldn't hear a word after seeing that his friends wouldn't let up Edwin removed the Prototype and asked, " what wrong ?"

" Why was that ear muff glowing " Isabella quickly asked and everyone seems as though they wanted to ask the same question.

" It was glowing ?" Edwin asked thinking about the runes and why they would glow.

" There were glowing " Theodore replied taking a few glances at the Prototype,

" Here put it on, " Edwin said placing the Prototype on Theodore's ears and turning it on, the music seems to have caught Theodore slight off guard " It's playing music " Theodore shout out not knowing that he was speaking so loud.

After Theodore took the Prototype off Draco tried it on and soon followed Isabella and Daphne, they each looked like they were enjoying the music " it's more comfortable than the Walkman " Isabella said raising her voice.

" You made that ?" Theodore asked with a slightly surprised expression.

" yeah, and it wasn't easy took me more than a year " Edwin replied remembering all the time he used the time turner to work on the Prototype.

" You can sell it " Draco added in as he got up " I'm sure it will make tons of money "

" Not as yet I still have some bugs to work out, " Edwin said knowing that he had to find a way to make sure that no-one can easily decode the runes and use it to create their own, But other than that there is still something else on Edwin's mind.

" Theodore do you remember what I said to you after showing you the vanishing room," Edwin asked

Theodore took a while to remember what Edwin had told him " You mean the Club ?"

" Yeah " Edwin replied with a smirk.

" What are you two talking about ?" Draco asked

" No it - " Theodore tried to say something but interrupted by Edwin " Don't jinx us it will work "
