25 Trials of tainted place [end]

"What?"
"Aberforth Dumbledore killed Aberforth Dumbledore."
"No" Albus was shocked. Amelia stricken the bench to silence the shouting Lords. Suicide in the Wizarding world was very much frowned upon, Life was a gift of magic and to forego it was a sin.

Dawlish looked at Corelinus who gave the nod to proceed. The charges on Yeager were for nought as he was found not guilty of the crime.
A suicide did not look good on anyone, it was a taboo, a shame on the being to forfeit the greatest gift from life.
"Did you know of Madam Irma Pince prior to her murder?"
"No"
"Did you-"
"I am afraid we are going in the wrong direction of questioning. Lord Eren Grisha Yeager-Dumbledore-Fritz is found not guilty of the charges brought forward against him in the original trial. As for the trial of Madam Irma Pince, and that of Quirenus Quirell, perhaps the headmaster can provide his input?" Lord Malfoy stood up from his seat of the Ancient and Noble House of Malfoy, interjecting in further questioning of Eren under the truth serum.
Eren took the antidote promptly, relieving the effects of Veritaserum.
"Lord Malfoy-" Minister Fudge tried to stay but was put down by Amelia's stare.
Even if she wanted to find out about the other two deaths, she could not as was her word to Eren.
"This is a defence hearing trial Minister, not an interrogation of Lord Dumbledore." Cornelius had to back down. His greatest supporter Malfoy did not support him in this as was clear to him.
"Y-Yes. Madam Pince was found to be suffering from some cardiac problem, as our healers at Saint Mungo's had informed her family." Albus said looking Eren dead straight in the eyes. He was still shocked due to the fact that Aberforth had killed himself, and not even mentioned himself in his last will.
Not that Albus had wanted something from his brother, but no mention, not even a last message?
He was horrified and sad to think what image of him had Aberforth in his mind.
"As for Quirinus Quirell, he was without doubt a dark wizard with the aim to harm the Boy who lived. We suspect him of the last remnants of the Death Eaters under You-know-who." Albus ended his statement.
"The Wizengamot finds Lord Dumbledore not guilty on all charges against him," Amelia said, and with it, the extended Wizengamot session ended.
Amelia was held responsible for bringing the charges without much investigation against a Lord of Noble house, it did not affect her career much as she was already at the top of her occupation, but it will surely make her somewhat less popular amongst the masses.
Cornelius however, had himself shown down in the Wizengamot, bringing more charges in an ongoing trial which were found to be a hoax. He lost some much-needed support from the neutral Lords and the Order of Merlin receipts of the Wizengamot.

LORD DUMBLEDORE FOUND TO BE NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES!
Yesterday in Ministry Courtroom 10, DMLE Head Amelia Bones announced Lord ErenGrisha Yeager-Dumbledore-Fritz to be free of any and all charges brought against him.
The trial, an international incident due to the popularity of Chief Warlock Albus Pervical Brian Wulfric Dumbledore, who also happens to be the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards (and Witches) leaned towards the result when Lord Dumbledore consented to the use of Veritaserum (the truth serum) in the open Wizengamot session!
It is to be known that any standing Lord and Heir cannot be subjected to veritaserum in any Wizengamot session under the Wizarding Laws' ninth article, second charter, 1672 without their consent, or their magical guardian's consent in the case of an heir.
Lord Dumbledore, consented to the truth serum's use after the charges against him turned into that of treason against the liege lord when he was found to be Heir Dumbledore, by blood and will of the late. Aberforth Dumbledore.
In a surprising turn of events, the death of late. Aberforth Dumbledore was found to be by means of suicide, confirmed by the statement from Lord Dumbledore under truth serum and his will, later opened and made into a statement in the Wizengamot by Director of Gringotts London, Ragnak, third in line to the Goblin throne.
Suicide, as the means of death, became a global outcry as soon the information was shared with the media. For our muggle-born Wizards and Witches, Suicide in the magical world is taboo, as it means to forfeit magic's greatest gift, life.
Albus Dumbledore, Chief Warlock and the elder brother of the late Aberforth Dumbledore refused to give a statement to the press, leaving the Wizengamot premises as soon as possible. Later it was revealed that Chief Warlock had taken a leave from his duties as Chief Warlock, the Supreme Mugwump and the Headmaster of Hogwarts for an uncertain amount of time, as was allowed by the specific guidelines of each position.
