The Greater Good Exposed

"No other scenarios came to your mind? No other possibilities occurred to you?

"No. Should it have?"

Multiple groans were heard. Elder Ogden frowned "Any more questions?" when no one asked one he gestured for the antidote.

Even as the antidote was being administered Rufus Scrimgeour announced "I, Rufus Scrimgeour, move that Cornelius Oswald Fudge be removed from his office based on sheer incompetence."

Pius Thicknesse who was famous for opposing anything Rufus suggested said "I Pius Thicknesse, second that motion."

"Discussion?" Elder Ogden quickly looked around "All in favor?" Hands around the room raised. "Opposed?" Not a single hand was raised. "Motion carries Cornelius Oswald Fudge you are no longer the British Minister of Magic due to your sheer incompetence. You will be held in a ministry holding cell until your trial before the ICW."

"But you can't!" Fudge wailed.

"Would you rather it be Azkaban?" Amelia Bones snarled. "Shacklebolt escort Mister Fudge to the Holding cell."

The clerk who had been sent for the sealed Potter wills entered the room. Elder Ogden touched his wand to the seal holding the file containing the Potter wills. By order of the Wizengamot by a sixty five to forty eight vote I declare this seal broken. The seal opened. Elder Ogden read the wills aloud.

"Albus Dumbledore by the looks of things you deliberately withheld information from this body in the matter of Sirius Black,in an effort to gain control of Harry James Potter."

A sudden snarl near the door took everyone by surprise as Alastor Moody came out from beneath an invisibility cloak. Albus was drawing his wand; Alastor Moody's " Expelliarmus and flash of light hit the wand in Albus' hand and sent it flying to Moody. As soon as he caught it Alastor snapped it. "You lied to me for years! You lied! You bastard! You lied to everyone! You and your greater good… Because of you I… Because of you James' son is ..I believed you and now Harry is… I…" The auror who was known for being the toughest and the hardest collapsed and started to cry. Shacklebolt who was just returning to the chamber from taking Fudge to the holding cell, saw Moody sitting there and fired a expelliarmus closely followed by an incarcerous at Moody.

"Well ladies and gentlemen it appears we have two more people to interrogate as to this matter.

Who first?" Elder Ogden asked.

Montgomery Scott spoke up, "I believe that should be Alastor Moody given he participated in the attack in the U.S."

Alastor appeared completely willing when he was fed his dose of veritaserum.

"Name?"

"Alastor Copernicus Moody"

"Did you attack a group of American Wizards in an effort to retrieve Harry Potter and capture or kill Sirius Black?"

"Yes."

"On whose orders?"

"Officially Cornelius Oswald Fudge."

"Unofficially?"

"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore."

"Anyone else?"

"No I wanted to go out of my own desire for revenge for my godson."

"Your godson?"

"James Charlus Potter."

"Tell us about your recent trip to the U.S."

"I and the six other aurors went to the U.S. to capture or kill Sirius Black and rescue Harry Potter. I stopped in New York and found the ICW stay of extradition and request for ICW trial to overturn the trial here. I assumed it was Black manipulating the system to evade justice. Chambers told me Black and the boy would be in Chicago starting June 22 but that the best time to attack would be three weeks later when they would be at an exercise off the WIS base."

"Who were the other six aurors?

"John Dawlish, Jason Keeler, Robert Williamson, Bobby Trent, Simon Avery, Bill Parkinson."

"And was your information from Chambers accurate?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about the attack."

"I hired a dozen local talent mostly people with a grudge against WIS. The exercise consisted of seventeen Americans, Black and the boy. It was about protecting a principal during an attack when the odds are even. We watched all day through the first two run throughs so we would know where everyone would be. I took out the five trainees that were acting as guardians to the boy using potioned darts then I went to grab him. He fought me off, and he…"

"He what?"

"He apparated to Black."

"What was everyone else doing?"

"Dawlish and two locals were stunning the pretend attackers. Williamson, Trent and five of the locals were trying were trying to stun half the observers. Keeler, Avery, Parkinson and two of the locals were responsible for the group with Black in it. The other locals were to guard the perimeter and keep the WIS perimeter from realizing what was happening. I gave instructions not to fire anything but stunners."

"Were those orders followed?"

"No. Avery and Parkinson were firing spells of a more lethal variety."

"Then what happened?"

"Harry apparated to Black. Avery and Parkinson fired sectumsempras simultaneously from opposite sides towards Black and Potter they hit and both were down, then from out of nowhere lightning hit Avery and Parkinson. Since things had gone so badly I apparated out to our rendezvous point then portkeyed myself and the others who escaped the mess back here to England."

Amelia Bones couldn't help it she paled.

"I am not familiar with the spell you named, what does it do?"
