"Mr. Potter, before we start with another pensive viewing and veritaserum testimony, can you tell us in your own words what happened?" a member of the court asked.
"How far back would you like me to go?" Harry asked.
"What do you mean?" Amelia asked.
Harry answered, smirking inside. This would well put paid to a few individuals. "Well, the teacher we believed to be Alistor Moody turned out to be Barty Crouch Junior. I was wondering how far back to go, such as when he was teaching us about the unforgivables and put us under the imperious curse."
"WHAT!" came a scream from the back. "Who allowed the students to be put under the imperious curse?"
"Well, according to Mr. Crouch, who I have reason to suspect lied, Headmaster Dumbledore was allowing them to be shown to a forth year class, although he told us that it wasn't supposed to be shown to us until the sixth year."
Dumbledore stood up. "That is incorrect Harry. He was only supposed to discuss them, not show them to ANY class, much less cast any of them on the students. We're trying to make sure that knowledge of how they are performed, in case one encounters them, is known, not teach students how to do it, or practice such on the students."
Harry sighed, "Unfortunately, Headmaster, the class took that as the truth, since it was a teacher you trusted, the fact that we have had dangerous experiences since the first year, the recent occurrence of the World Cup, and your known propensity to inflict such things upon students, given Mr. Snape and the less than stellar DADA teachers."
"That is Professor Snape, Harry," chided the Headmaster.
"He isn't a professor to me, since he doesn't teach, inflicts terror upon the students, and is unquestionably biased to the point where I suspect that he has sabotaged potions of a number of students." Harry replied.
"Harry, may I remind you that Professor Snape has my complete confidence?" Dumbledore asked sadly.
Harry was laughing on the inside. Dumbledore had stepped into it with that one. "And that is why it was so easy to believe that you actually ordered us to be put under the imperious."
