"I don’t give two fucks about your stupid little Blood War. I now, thanks to my brother, don’t give two fucks about the piss poor way you educate your children. I started to care about their education, but my brother reminded me of a lecture I gave him about us not getting involved in other countrie’s messes. As long a...
Morpheus beamed with pride. She was very passionate about all children regardless of their blood status.
"I don’t care what the idiot adults do to themselves, but I will NOT stand by while a child is being abused. So yes. I took care of five of the student’s home lives. One was living in a home where both of his parents were trying to BEAT the magic out of him! Another was merely neglected and left to fend for himself. Th...
"On it." Ron grabbed his sister’s hand and walked from the Hall."
"What was his job?" Tonks asked.
Harry shook his head and sighed. "Trust me. You don’t want to know."
"How dare you! How dare you try to undermine the Ministry Potter. I’ll have you in front of the Wizengamot for this!" Umbridge yelled.
Professors Flitwick and McGonagall were already standing next to her just in case.
"It would be wise Dolores to keep your thoughts to yourself at this particular moment in time." Minerva purred beside her. Her tone almost catlike.
Professor Umbridge took in the scene around her and admitted defeat. Potter was not only Lord Potter, but he also had many influential houses backing him.
"Neville. You should probably go and get ready for your date. She does not like to be kept waiting." Harry held up a hand. "I know you wish to be at my side my friend, but she has a mean right hook, and she has been looking forward to this all week. It’s all she talks about. Now get going." Harry winked.
Neville gave a goofy grin while patting Harry on the back before he turned to the twins. "You know what to do." Neville said before he turned to leave.
"Of course." They said in unison.
"And what was that supposed to mean?" Shacklebolt asked wearily. He knew the twins from the Order meetings and if they were given a job to do it couldn’t be good.
They just smiled from ear to ear.
And that made Kingsley even more nervous.
"Lee..." But Harry was interrupted.
Lee Jordan held up a hand. "You don’t have to tell me twice. The last time I was late, she almost broke my little toe. She had stomped on it so hard. Later!" Lee gave a quick look to Fred and George. He continued walking after they gave a minute nod.
The room dissolved into multiple conversations. All the students had left except Fred, Harry, and George. Which gave Harry the perfect opportunity to have a quick telepathic conversation with his sister.
"Can you get Umbridge out of here?’
He could feel the pout through their unique link.
"Oh ye of so little faith brother. The fact that you doubt my abilities brings a tear to my eye. I’m crushed. I’m not sure if my heart will ever heal from your doubt in me.’
Harry mentally rolled his eyes at the nonexistent tears that she wiped away. "Yeah, yeah, yeah drama queen. Can you do it or not sis?’
He felt the smirk through the link. "Already done lil brother.’
"Well. I for one have better things to do on a Saturday than to listen to the insane ramblings of a delusional child. If I am needed, I shall be in my office." With that announcement. Dolores Umbridge walked with a pompous air from the Great Hall.
Harry raised a brow at Carmen.
She just smiled sweetly at him.
Morpheus knew immediately what his sister had done. He raised his eyes to the heavens for help, but he didn’t say anything.
"Will everyone have a seat please?" Harry asked as Carmen and Morpheus put up silencing and privacy wards around the Hufflepuff table."
"What is the meaning of this Harry?" The Headmaster asked.
Harry raised a brow. "You will soon find out...Albus."
Albus’ shocked look only lasted a heartbeat before he gave a slight bow of his head at the rebuke.
"Try not to kill anyone sis." Morpheus said as he made to take his leave and kissed her left temple.
"I make no promises brother." She gave him a hug and sat down.
The Heads of House and Aurors were sitting at the table.
"If I may begin. You have a serious problem at this school with children suffering from either emotional abuse, physical abuse, or both." Harry looked to Carmen. "Carmen you’re up."
Carmen gave a quick nod and pulled out her note pad. She made a copy of the list that she was looking for. She removed all Slytherin names as she wanted to give that to Severus personally.
She passed the list around to the staff after she had made copies. "These are the children. And just so you know, this paper will not only catch fire after you read it. It is charmed so that you can’t talk with anyone about the list. Not even the children themselves. Except the Heads of House. You will feel a need to p...
Carmen sighed. "Except you Madame Bones. You will know the truth of it all, but you cannot tell anyone just yet. I’m trusting you to do what is right. Hermione and I will get you in contact with the court. That way you could be there in some official capacity."
Amelia Bones gave a short nod. She and everyone else looked down at the copy they were given. The list showed not only the crimes against the children, but their interviews. There was a note that even had "memories available.’
Shacklebolt was the first to react. "Fuck!" He slammed his fist into the table and caused it to creak. Almost breaking it.
The white hot fury on Madame Bones’ face would be enough to kill any Death Eater.
Tonks just stared at her list and the crimes committed. She had no words. Her parents loved her. They would never...
The Professors were in a mix of shock and outrage. But Harry was the first to notice the most dangerous issue.
"PROFESSOR McGONAGALL! Stop him!"
All eyes turned to where he was looking at Professor Dumbledore. The absolute rage was nearly blinding everyone’s core.
"Severus!" Minerva shouted as she thrust out her wand. The Potions Master, Carmen, Filius, Pomona, Harry and the Twins all sent either stunning or binding spells at the powerful wizard.
"Holy Shite! What the hell was that?!" Fred asked. His wand still at the ready.
No one bothered to correct him on his language.
"I could feel it." Harry said in a small voice. "I know what it’s like to lose control of my magic."
Amelia Bones took in the sight of the downed Headmaster. She thought that she was angry, but if a man like Albus Dumbledore could lose control of his magic? She stood and gestured to her Aurors. "We..." Madame Bones tried to clear her throat. "We will...I will research this court further. Please get me any information ...
She turned to her Aurors. "This is need to know only. Clear?"
"Yes ma’am!" they chorused. "Also. I will not be heading to the office right away. It would appear that I need to have a little chat with Susan."
Both Aurors looked at each other. They both knew that tone. Susan was about to get it.
She took her leave with a bow. "Lord Potter."
Harry took her hand and kissed the air above her knuckles with a rakish grin. "It was my utmost pleasure."
She made to turn and leave but turned back to the young Lord. "You were right. I have spent too long playing at politics and forgetting about doing what was right. I will say that in my defense, pathetic as it may be, that I chose to play the game so that I could do something rather than lose my job and not be able to ...
Harry raised a brow. "They would have fired you for doing your job?"
Amelia snorted. "Lord Potter there have been threats made on my life let alone my job because I supported the normalization of werewolves in our society. I am sure you are aware of the wonderful job Dolores Umbridge is doing teaching DADA?"
This time Harry snorted. "Yes. Everyone is singing her praises." He said sarcastically.
"Rumour has it that the Minister wants her to take my position."
"Are you kidding me?"
Harry took a moment to compose himself. "My apologies Madame. Sirius explained to me that the government was corrupt, but I was not aware of the extent. House Potter thanks you for the information. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help. But let me make myself clear. I will help Carmen and Hermi...
"Of that I have no doubt Lord Potter." She smiled when he kissed her hand again.
"Until our next meeting my Lady."
She nodded and led the Aurors away with her. Harry could hear her mutter "just like his damn father’ as she left.
Tonks turned to wink at him after she had healed Kingsley’s hand as they followed their boss.
"Messrs Weasley. Mr. Potter. You should be getting ready to go to Hogsmeade. I understand that Gladrags is having a special offer of some kind according to Miss Brown."
Harry’s eyes lit up as he grabbed George and Fred’s hands. "Dear Merlin! What are we waiting for?"
Fred and George had just enough time to give an evil glare at Professor McGonagall before they were dragged from the Great Hall.
McGonagall smiled wickedly at the boys. She had found out through the gossip mill that Harry had become slightly obsessed with his wardrobe since he now had the means to do something about it.
"You’re evil." Carmen chuckled. She knew how much Harry liked shopping for clothes.
"You have no idea." Filius murmured.
"Shall we wake the Headmaster?"
"Yes." The Charms Professor stood back a bit. Ready to defend himself and the others if need be.
Snape stepped forward and spelled two calming droughts into his stomach. Everyone except for Carmen was standing with their wands ready.
Albus was in a fog. Rage permeated his brain, but it was being combated. His eyes shot open. "Severus?" He asked questioningly.
"Calming drought." He explained as he and Minerva helped him to stand.
"I apologize for my loss of control. Pomona, Filius, Ms. LaVaunt. Would you excuse us? There is something that I need to discuss with Severus and Minerva that is not school business."
Everyone named nodded and left. But Carmen got Severus’ attention.
He looked at her questioningly. "Yes."
"We need to talk later. In private. It’s important."
"Albus?" Minerva questioned after the trio had been alone for a few moments.
"My apologies my dear. Forgive me for my distraction. I wanted you both to be the first to know that I am resigning from the ICW."
"I am wizard enough to admit that I have taken on too much over the years. And quite frankly the Wizengamot might vote me out anyway given the circumstances with Harry. I’ve been in this game a long time Minerva. I can spot circling sharks a mile away.
Our conversation with Miss Granger is still seared into my head. To my absolute horror she is correct."
Hermione was so angry after dinner that she stormed up to the tower and to her dorm. She was angrier that she had lost her temper more than anything else. She sighed and pulled out parchment and ink, intent on writing Andy a letter to tell her about the incident so that she could get her punishment over with. "A Lady d...
"Beggings your pardon Miss, but the headses of houses be wishing to speak to you in professor Dumbly’s office."
"Oh. Alright. Thank you very much Mr...."
The elf looked at her in surprise. Most humans liked to pretend they didn’t exist, but then he remembered that she had tried to "help’ the elves. "I’s be Tally miss."
"Well thank you Tally. I will be along shortly. Oh and can you please let the kitchen know that I really appreciated the strawberries we had last week. It was a rare treat at Hogwarts." Hermione may have had her eyes opened to how house elves liked to work, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t be polite.
The elf looked at her again in surprise. "I will tell them Miss." The elf bowed and then popped away.
Hermione sighed. "Well best to get it over with.’ She cast a few quick freshening charms. Took out her pony tail, brushed it again to gather up a few strands that had come loose, and put it back together again. She re applied her pale pink lip gloss. When she was satisfied, she turned and walked out and headed to the m...
She made it to the gargoyle and froze. They never gave her a password. She thought that she would try logic. "I am here at the Headmaster’s request." She watched as the gargoyle moved. "Well I’ll be damned.’ She thought.
As she walked through the door, she saw the four heads of house and the Headmaster in the room.
"Ah Miss Granger. Prompt as always. Lemon drop?"
"No thank you Headmaster."
"Please have a seat Miss Granger."
Hermione looked around and saw that while Dumbledore sat in his seat, the other adults were standing. "Forgive me Headmaster but I respectfully decline. The muggle training that I have been subjected to my entire life, along with the wizarding etiquette lessons I received this summer clearly states that a child shall n...
Albus raised a brow at that bit of news and conjured four chairs in a half circle with her chair in the middle. She gave a small bow of her head and sat down as did the other professors. "Before we begin. Although I meant every single word that I said in the Great Hall, my behaviour was appalling. I have been taught be...
