"I served five years in Azkaban for my crimes. The use of the imperius curse. The attempted murder of Albus Dumbledore. My actions during the war. And my part in the Battle of Hogwarts. I understand the gravity of all that I did. I ask for your leniency today in spite of all of that. Since my release I have worked at the Department of Magical Maintenance and Turning the Page Books. Both have allowed me to learn how to live without magic. As well as many other things.
