HJP "My apologies Mr. Lovegood. I meant no disrespect, but there are some subjects that are more sore than others. Being labeled a hero one minute and a raving lunatic the next gets a bit tiring." |
TQ "Lord Potter if anyone understands being considered crazy, it’s me. Let’s change the subject for a moment. I had heard rumours of your relationship with infamous Weasley twins, and I see that they accompanied you today. Would you care to set the record straight about your relationship? The Daily Prophet was quite un... |
HJP "They ground me. My magic is strong, but there was a bind on my magic that was removed this summer and combined with my upbringing, I can sometimes be a little high strung. They both make sure that I keep from getting too big a head. They are aware of my titles and money and they don’t care. They have never tried t... |
Lord Potter pouted before one of the twins tried to respond. Until this point the infamous Weasley twins were silent, but I decided to include them in the conversation at Lord Potter’s completely adorable pout and his arms crossed against his chest. I am pleased to report readers that Mr. Potter is indeed a normal teen... |
TQ "For the record gentlemen, may I have your names? I would hate to refer to you as "The Twins’ or "One of the twins’. That seems quite rude to be honest." |
I watched a look pass between the three of them that I could not decipher. |
FW "My name is Fred Weasley." |
GW "My name is George Weasley." |
TQ "Excellent! Now why does Lord Potter have to sneak you gifts?" |
FW "The wizarding world expects everything from him. We only want the real Harry Potter. We don’t give damn about his political, magical, or financial power. Georgie and I love him flaws and all." |
TQ I chuckled at that statement. "Flaws?" |
GW "Where to start? He’s quick to take the last treacle tart." |
FW "He hogs the only section worth reading in The Daily Prophet. The quidditch section." |
GW "Or how he steals your jumper because he keeps losing track of his own." |
HJP "IT WAS ONE TIME!" |
FW,GW "Three times." |
GW "Then of course there is the need to hog the covers in the common room during our study sessions. I thought our sister was going to bat bogey him for sure." |
HJP "I was cold! I’m smaller than you Weasley behemoths!" |
FW "Or his insane need to dive to his death on his broom. We used to play the beater position on our House team, and we spent more time making sure Harry didn’t dive to his death than chasing a bludger." |
HJP At this point Lord Potter spluttered in his words. "I’m...I’m a seeker! It’s my job to catch the snitch!" |
GW "Or the four times that he..." |
At this point Lord Potter placed his hand over George Weasley’s mouth. |
HJP "Alright I get it! Can we change the subject please Mr. Lovegood?" |
The blush on Mr. Potter’s face was truly amusing while he glared at his boyfriends. |
TQ "Of course Mr. Potter. I would like to change the topic to some of the things that were mentioned in The Daily Prophet about your childhood. I understand if it would be difficult to talk about." |
I watched as a hand from Fred and George each grabbed either of Lord Potter’s hands in a tight grip. He spoke in a quiet voice. |
HJP"What do you want to know?" |
TQ "Whatever you wish to tell me." |
HJP "They hated me. My mother was a witch, but my aunt Petunia was what is known as a Squib in this country. She was jealous of my mother’s gift of magic. Then the wizarding world decided that it was a good idea to leave a magical baby with magic hating muggles for his "protection’. I know that people are going to blam... |
I should point out at this time that Fred and George Weasley have tried to calm his temper, but he pushed them away. It looks like he is calming himself on his own.. |
TQ "Are you ok to continue Lord Potter." |
HJP "I am fine Mr. Lovegood. To be completely honest, I’m getting better every day. My control over my magic has come so much easier for me in the last week. Between Lord Black, Andromeda Tonks, Fred and George Weasley, my big sister and brother, Uncle Remy, and my friends I am coming to terms with the abuse. In fact. ... |
Lord Potter stands to look out of the window |
HJPI was always told that my parents were drunks who died in a car crash. I was often called freak or boy. I was hit for what my cousin did or didn’t do. They told the neighbours that I was mentally disturbed. The first person to buy me a birthday present that I can remember was Hagrid. He gave me my beloved owl. Mrs. ... |
TQ "What of the muggle authorities? Surely someone would have noticed. Teachers? Healers?" At this revelation of this young man’s horrible childhood, I was more angry than I have ever been. |
Surprisingly, Lord Potter let out a bark like laugh that reminded me of a conversation I recently had with the current Lord Black. |
HJP The teachers overlooked everything on the words of my relatives. A fall here and there apparently explained everything. Especially since the head of the school was an old schoolmate of my uncle. And Healers? In the muggle world they are called doctors. Anyway, I would actually have to see one for anyone to notice. ... |
My mouth drops in shock. TQ "What about your jabs for muggle diseases? You lived among muggles! Or potions for the magical ones? There are many diseases that you should be inoculated against!" |
HJP "My parents were diligent about the initial ones when I was a babe. Other than that, I was not fully vaccinated until this summer when my godfather sent me abroad for intensive medical treatment. I’ve been vaccinated for magical and non magical diseases. He was prepared to call for an honour duel against Madame Pom... |
TQ "What do you mean?" |
HJP She probably assumed that someone else took care of it. Tell me Mr. Lovegood. Why doesn’t Hogwarts teach how to use the floo or how to side along apparate for that matter? It would be a useful skill to have would you not agree?" |
TQ "Usually the parents of the students take care of that before Hogwarts." |
HJP "And if they are mundane born or raised?" |
TQ "I...I’ve never thought of that." |
HJP "Make no mistake Mr. Lovegood. I appreciate everyday the gift that Mother Magick has given me. I believe that children brought into this world should learn the ways of the wizarding world and not try to make it into a non magical one. Is there room for improvement in the wizarding world here? Absolutely! But we are... |
"To continue. My time at my muggle school was spent making sure that my grades were less than my cousin’s marks. The first time I showed my intelligence in class, I was beaten for doing better than him. I was beaten after a teacher’s conference where my instructor at the time wanted to move me up a grade. After that I ... |
TQ "That is startling news. There hasn’t been a Potter in Slytherin in..." |
HJP "Three hundred and twenty seven years. Give or take." |
TQ "The Potters have been light oriented since records have been kept." I pressed. |
HJP "And whoever spread that myth was a liar. I know for a fact that my grandfather Charlus Potter was more neutral than my father. My grandfather believed that magic was magic. It was more important to focus on intent. We are meandering from the point. The most abused children either end up in Slytherin or Hufflepuff.... |
TQ "I see your point. It surprises me that you don’t hate all Slytherins given your status of "Gryffindor’s golden boy.’" |
It took some time for the magic that Lord Potter was pulsing out into the room to disintegrate. |
HJP "Let me make this clear. Although I am a direct descendant of the House of Gryffindor, I am no one’s golden anything. The adults of this world have painted me in a light that I despise. I lived because my parents died. Everyone forgets that little part of the story. |
As to hating all Slytherins that is more propaganda established by the so called light side saying that they were all evil. It is not even remotely true. I do not hate all Slytherins. Trust me when I say that there are plenty of Gryffindors that I can’t stand. Slytherin House has produced powerful and intelligent witch... |
Anyone who hates someone because of a House at a school should have their head examined. A bit of rivalry is ok, but outright warfare and bigotry is ridiculous. And the teachers do nothing to stop it. In some cases, they encourage it!" |
TQ "I see. I would like to switch topics for a moment if I may? If you know my daughter, you can see that I am usually all over the place." |
Here Lord Potter and his companions laughed uproariously. |
FW "I was recently given detention for a prank. Professor Flitwick assigned me to grade all of her essays for two weeks. I love Luna to death, but her mind is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I had a headache for hours after I was done!" |
TQ "That’s my Little Moon. "I wanted to ask you what you meant by the "so called’ Light." |
HJP "How to start. Ah! Tell me what you know about the troll attack on All Hollows Eve in ninety one." |
TQ "I’ve heard rumours of course, but nothing with evidence attached." |
HJP "On All Hallows Eve in ninety one, somehow a troll got into the castle. That was not however my major point. When all was said and done, my best mate Ronald Weasley knocked it out with its own club with a simple levitation charm. It is known as a light spell. It’s taught to first years. Now imagine if that had been... |
Magic is magic. It depends on how it is used. A jelly legs jinx can kill at the right time as someone took a step down at the top of the stairs. So can a tickling jinx on an elderly witch or wizard with a bad heart. A Cruciatus in the wrong hands could destroy a life, but in many parts of the world it is used to restar... |
My father’s core was light oriented, and I think that people seized the opportunity to mold him into their own agenda after my grandfather died. My mother’s core was gray oriented which is why I am here today. She started looking into the olde ways when she was in her sixth year. She was an inquisitive witch and refuse... |
TQ "How do you know your mother was a gray witch? As far as anyone knows, you were a mere babe when she passed on." |
HJP "My mother left very detailed journals of her life, both in the mundane world and the magical one. I have books upon books of her research into all fields of magic. She was an exceptionally talented witch, who was smart enough to see that everything was not as it seemed to be. But. I also refer to them as the "so c... |
TQ "I see. I do not wish to take up your entire Hogsmeade visit, I would like to ask you a few more questions if I may. As I have an exclusive contract, I’m sure that we will speak again." |
HJP "Of course." |
TQ "You have spoken in detail about your mother, what of your father? |
HJP "My father was a great man. He died trying to protect his family from a mad man who had so little vision. I also have his journals, and to be honest I could never hope to best him when it came to transfiguration or arithmancy. He wrote about the day that I was born, and he was so proud. His love for me and my mothe... |
TQ "I was hoping to ask you about your relationship with Fred and George Weasley more in depth, but I will settle for your opinion on creature rights. Do you believe that werewolves and others of creature blood should be given the same rights as others?" |
HJP "You’re damned right I do! Take my steward for instance. He has taken the Potter family vaults and increased the wealth significantly in only a few months. He is a werewolf. He is the gentlest man I know aside from Hagrid. Don’t mistake me. He is a trained wizard that would attempt to burn the world to protect thos... |
Now let’s talk about goblins. They have the most analytical minds that have ever existed in my opinion. My steward was not alone in his quest to increase my wealth. The Goblin nation only blinked for a second when I told them to "have at it’. The goblins are an honourable and proud race, and I hope to one day count the... |
Next. House Elves. What moron mistreats the race of people that cook, clean, and whatever else you ask them to do for you? I have house elves, and they are the life blood of the House of Potter. They are not my slaves. They are a part of my family. And I treat them as such. I give them the dignity of a proper uniform. ... |
GW "Like the "elf’s choice’ movie night?" |
FW "Or the one time you had the Black and Potter elves come over to play blackjack?" |
HJP "You know. You two can be really bloody annoying." |
FW GW "Excellent!" |
TQ "What is your take on how The Ministry is handling You Know Who’s return?" |
HJP "I have faith in the aurors that protect this country. I also have faith in the DMLE to do the right thing when it comes to apprehending any Death Eaters breaking the law and bringing them to justice." |
TQ "And what of the calls of the "Boy Who Lived’ to come to our rescue once more?" |
HJP "If any witch or wizard truly believes that a toddler killed the most feared dark wizard since Grindelwald, seriously needs to have their magic stripped and then obliviated. The spell my mother used was based on using witches magic, if her notes are to be believed. It is very olde magic that requires the sacrifice ... |
"But back to your original question. The key word being "boy’. I am a teenager. Not an auror. More to the point. What on earth do they expect me to do against a wizard that has decades more experience than me? I’m barely getting on in arithmancy! And they want me to fight Voldemort?" |
"The adults of this country need to wake up. You have allowed this hatred and bigotry to fester. Voldemort is merely a symptom of a much larger disease. The bigger problem is his followers. Both marked and unmarked. They are the ones with the true power. The ones that make the decisions in our government, who were able... |
TQ "Alright. Let’s switch gears again. Since Dumbledore was the one to place you with your muggle relatives, what do you think his punishment should be?" |
HJP "I think that he is just a man. A man who is not perfect just like the rest of us. My godfather has made it a point to tell me that he is not evil. Just misguided. My feelings on the subject are neither here nor there. At this moment in time, I feel to remove him from his positions while we are at war, would be det... |
As I stare at the young men before me, I wonder what the future of this nation will look like. Lord Potter held himself with poise and grace. His companions were content to be his support, while intermittently breaking up the tension in the room. I wonder what will become of my Little Moon in this changing world. What ... |
TQ"Well thank you gentlemen for an enlightening conversation. I’m sure we will talk again soon." |
HJP "Thank you Mr. Lovegood." |

The rest of the article was filled with statements from friends and family alike along with photographs. |
Anyone with half a brain could tell that Cara was pissed. Cara first laid out her impressive qualifications in the magical and mundane world. Then she spoke about, in general terms how well Harry was doing considering his past. Harry allowed her to tell them how he refused dreamless sleep for his nightmares, because he... |
Caleb and Natasha were not much better in their comments. |
Natasha wanted to call out Skeeter in a duel for making such information public. She too showed her impressive resume of degrees in both the magical and mundane world. Harry allowed her to state that the malnutrition and abuse he suffered as a child, was completely reversed and would remain so with a healthy diet and r... |
There were pictures of Harry just being a normal teenaged boy. Hanging out with his friends. Whether it was studying or flying. Credit was given to the Creevey brothers of course for the pictures. |
A photo even showed Fred, George, and Harry’s goblin authenticated OWL and NEWT scores. Along with their official copies of offers of Masteries. |

Harry had seen the owls come in at dinner and decided to head back to the dorms. It would be easier to deal with the fallout from the article in his own personal space. He would be able to control his emotions better that way. He stood to walk towards the door. Along with all of his friends, including Lee and Luna. |
"Mr. Potter. Where are you going?" |
"Professor McGonagall. I am going to my dorm. I have finished my meal this evening and I would like to turn in early." He gave a slight bow and left. |
