"Panic attack." Harry stated simply. "If the emotions coming off of her are anything to go by." |
Remus looked on in sadness as her brother tried to get her to regain control of her emotions. "It’s my condition, isn’t it?" |
Harry snorted. "Hardly Remmy." Harry took out a small picture book and resized it. He turned it to a picture with Carmen in a frilly pink dress and smiling for the camera with a bottle of champagne in her hand held above her head. The one on the right was obviously a goblin female in the same dress, only it was sized t... |
"She’s friends with a goblin and a vampire?" Remus breathed. |
Harry nodded his head. "They were the bride’s maids. The wedding was between a werewolf and a human she had been friends with since Uni. Heads up I think she’s coming around." Harry nodded and Sirius dropped the shield. |
"I’m alright brother." Carmen took deep calming breaths. |
"I told you I wouldn’t interfere. But this...’ |
"Do what you must baby girl.’ |
Carmen nodded. "Caille!" |
Said elf appeared. "Sup?" |
"Priority one. Call in your back up for it. I need you here when Alpha team arrives." |
"What do you have for me?" |
"I need enough Wolfsbane for fourty adults for three months and..." She turned to Remus. "Any children?" |
Remus sat there gaping like a fish and was only able to reply when Sirius smacked him upside the back of his head. He just nodded. |
"How many?" Carmen was in boss mode. |
Remus replied cautiously. "I’m not sure. I know of at least seven." |
She turned back to Caille. "I need enough for at least ten children. But get them started for at least twenty by next month." |
"Got it. U.K version or the Italian version? They would probably be used to the U.K version, but the Italian version uses most of the same ingredients. The latest report that I have heard is that..." Caille was responding with her ideas, but then she took in the look made of stone on Carmen’s face and stopped. |
"They do take the potion here. Right?" Caille hedged. |
"Only if they can afford it." Carmen ignored the sharp gasp from her friend as she filled her in on the previous conversation. Caille looked to Morpheus, and he nodded. |
"The Italian variant of the potion will do fine, as it combats over all fatigue and muscle pain. I’ll have my back up fire up the lab in Caracas. The plant grows like a weed there. Saves us some gold." Caille said with pure anger in her heart. Her bowling partner was a werewolf! |
"I beg your pardon?" Remus asked. |
"The Italian version of Wolfsbane combats fatigue and muscle pain. One pepper up potion and you are good as new the next day." Morpheus responded. He was looking at the Werewolf curiously. |
"Next. I need names of wolves you trust." |
"BECAUSE I’LL BE DAMNED..." |
She bowed to her older brother in deference. "My apologies. I want to help. If you know any weres with skill, I have my hand in many pots in companies in the non magical world and the magical one. Caille." |
"Find out from Mr. Lupin, who may benefit from our help. THIS IS NOT CHARITY! This is about dignity. I’m always looking to hire talented people. Make sure they know that. Anyone working for my firm will have the appropriate attire. Find out what their needs are and see to them please. Food, clothing, shelter I want it ... |
Remus once again was opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water. It took another smack to the back of the head to get him to speak again. "Yes." Was all that he got out. |
She turned back to Caille. "Sorry for me being a bitch, but..." |
"I’m right there with you my friend." She glared at the room. "Just so you know. Many governments around the world provide the potion for free to those who cannot afford it." She popped away. |
"Oh shit. Caille!" She had forgotten something. |
Caille popped in with a look of annoyance on her face. "Set up emergency housing until the compound is ready. Set up accounts at Gringotts. Set up accounts for wizarding and non wizarding wardrobes. Set up mundane bank accounts. Find a Healer specialized in treating werewolves. I’m not new at this woman. Oh. And this i... |
"Ow!" They both groaned at the same time as they rubbed their heads. "She’s so heavy handed." Morpheus whined. |
"Tell me about it! I think she ruptured a blood vessel somewhere!" |
"So. Will you let us help you. I mean not like you have a choice but well..." Carmen shrugged. "Also, I think my brother thinks you’re hot soo...bonus." Carmen shrugged again. |
Remus Lupin felt like he was in permanent blush mode. |
"As the Undersecretary for the Minister of Magic I demand that you stop this at once..." Dolores started. |
"Do be quiet Dolores. It’s her money and it is perfectly legal." Sirius said with an evil grin. |
"So. We gonna talk business?" Carmen retook Remus’ arm as she struck up a random conversation about defence tactics as they left the hall. |
"As fascinating as that was, we should talk about Mr. Potter’s behaviour." The Headmaster said. |
Harry hung his head as Sirius snatched him up by the collar and walked him from the hall. The entire way berating him. |
0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0 |
"I understand why Sirius, Andromeda and the four Heads of House are here, but why bring Miss Lovegood?" Albus asked once properly seated. Harry was scolded the entire way under a privacy bubble by Siri and Aunt Andi. |
Apparently he didn’t learn his lesson entirely. "She’s my bull shite meter." He deadpanned and Aunt Andi glared at him. |
Luna waved with a sweet smile at the same time Harry realized that he was going to get popped in the back of the head at some point in the near future. |
"Erm...right. Mr. Potter. I want to thank you for what you said in your interview." |
"You want to thank him for saving your arse." Minerva snorted. |
"Wait. She doesn’t get a smack to the back of the head?" Harry asked seriously. |
Sirius and Andromeda looked at him like he was stupid, while Luna giggled. Everyone else in the room tried to hide their mirth. |
"Yes. Well. You have many grievances against me, and you have every right to make them public. You are right that now is not the time to..." |
"Headmaster. I came here to accept my punishment for how I behaved earlier. I will admit that I went overboard, but everything that happened was legal by international standards of defence. If this is about something other than school, then I must bid you good day." Harry and Luna stood as one. |
Sirius raised a brow, as Andromeda gave a soft and proud smile. |
"Very well. Your behaviour while completely legal was exceptionally brutal. What do you have to say for yourself?" |
Harry shrugged and retook his seat. "He asked to see how a mere muggle could defeat the so called "saviour of the wizarding world’. I offered to show him." |
"You could have killed him Potter!" |
"And as I told you once before in this very room, if I wanted Draco dead he would be dead. He is constantly promising galleons with his mouth that his body cannot cover. No one calls him out on it because he hides behind the robes of his father. Last week I watched him push a Hufflepuff second year into a wall for movi... |
"And what did you do to retaliate?" Severus sneered at him. |
"Me? Nothing. The twins? Still not sure actually." Harry scratched his right temple in sincere confusion. "They still won’t tell me what happened. They were missing for an hour last Thursday. Came back with huge smiles on their faces so it can’t have been good." |
Sirius smiled broadly as Minerva visibly shivered. |
"Why didn’t you inform the staff?" Dumbledore asked. |
"30, 29, 28,..." Harry began. |
"What is he doing?" Albus Dumbledore asked. |
"You should recognize it Albus. He is fighting the urge to punch you in the face." Minerva chuckled. |
Harry looked to Luna for her to explain while he regained control of his emotions and magic. |
"Professor the bullies are well aware of your desire for second chances. They brag about it. The first time that Cho spread her monthly fluids on my bed and then rubbed my face in it, she told me that I could "tell Dumbledore. I’ll probably get detention.’ But I would get really hurt if I told Professor Flitwick, becau... |
"Ah that’s better." Harry visibly relaxed. "Will there be anything else sir? I have a few personal projects I would like to finish before the feast." |
"Harry. About the article...?" |
Harry stood up again and Sirius stood with him. He placed a hand on Harry’s arm, cast a privacy charm and had a short conversation with him as he faced away from everyone else so that they could not read his lips. |
"I will allow it because the Heads of House are here along with Andromeda and Luna. Your anger is understandable, but right now we cannot have him as an enemy. Even with the truth of your home life coming to light he still has many of the nation at his feet." |
Harry looked away from the Headmaster and into Sirius’ eyes. He looked to Andromeda and she gave a short nod. It was apparent that they had already discussed such a scenario. Harry gave a curt nod and Sirius took down the privacy shield. |
"Very well Headmaster. What do you wish to know?" |
Albus looked over to Luna in concern. "Perhaps it would be wise for young Miss Lovegood to not continue in this meeting." |
"Luna is fully aware of the abuse that I have suffered. Including explicit details that have not made it to the press. As do the rest of the closest of my friends. All have taken a vow on their life and magic to not reveal anything against my wishes. Carmen set the traps in their minds." Harry smirked at Albus’ paling ... |
Albus nodded sadly and looked at Sirius. "I want to thank you my boy for not raising Harry to see me as evil. I have made many mistakes, but I truly want what’s best for everyone." |
Sirius stared at him for a long time before he spoke. "The Greater Good Albus, by definition, means that someone else’s good would be left out." Sirius leaned, back uncrossed and recrossed his legs to the other side. Looking all the world like The Lord Black he was meant to be. "You are doing too much Albus. The school... |
"I see. And your thoughts Mr. Potter?" |
Harry shrugged again. "I’m a fifteen year old boy. These decisions are not my problem. Aunt Andromeda listens to my ideas as my Proxy on the Wizengamot. Tries to correct some misinformation I may have. She forces me to argue both sides of the equation before I can form my own opinion. For now, I trust the adults that a... |
Andromeda smiled. "She’s a strong young lady. She’ll make it. She cannot wait to see you all again. Her father and Mad Eye have been running her into the ground with training." |
Harry smiled fondly. "That’s my girl." Harry turned to the Headmaster once more with a straight face. "Where was I? Yes. Her family has been a boon to the Potter estate in the non magical world. Something that I didn’t know existed until this summer. Were you aware that I owned large shares of several companies in the ... |
"No. I was not Harry." Albus answered. |
"Well I do. My parents had a good eye for business. In my father’s journals he referred to my mother as "the Demoness of the London Stock exchange’ and the "Lady overseer of Wall Street.’ He then went on with an embarrassing tale of the night of my conception after a stock that she had purchased made them 100,000 pound... |
While Harry shuddered in horror at the thought of his parent’s actually having intimate relations, Sirius was outright guffawing. While Andromeda covered her light chuckles with her hand. The rest of the adults had a tinge of pink in their cheeks. Luna just gave a small giggle at Harry’s horrified face. |
"I guess the main reason why I said what I did about you is purely selfish. If they try to kick you off the mantel of "Leader of the Light’, I know without a doubt that it will be me that they will try to force in that position. Not. Going. To. Happen." Harry finished with a hard look to Albus before he turned to Snape... |
"You look at me and see your childhood bully." The professors bar Snape gasped. "While I love the idea of my birth father, all I have are his personal journals and his few entries into the family grimoire. My grandparents had him late in life and he was spoiled. But I know in my magic and in my heart..." Harry pounded ... |
"The House of Potter will honour traditions once more. They will also learn to integrate ideals of magical and non magical culture to help increase our knowledge, skill, wealth, and most importantly our magic. The House of Potter shall be reborn from the ashes on the side of the Grey." Harry said with finality. |
"Harry. You must think about the Greater Good. If the House of Potter turns away from the Light, they will be seen as Dark." |
"That is enough Albus. This is a school. Not the chambers of the Wizengamot!" Minerva turned to Harry. "My apologies Mr. Potter. I did not think this would delve into another manipulation of you. Please take your leave to finish up the rest of your projects." She gave a short nod of her head. |
"Thank you Professor McGonagall. I do hope you realize that I am aware of the position that you are in. Carmen helped me to see that I should have taken a better approach. Morpheus swatted my bum again, but then he did something ten times worse." Harry looked downcast. |
"What was that Mr. Potter?" Minerva asked concerned. |
"He asked Miss LaVaunt to contact me." Andromeda answered with an evil smirk. "If you need proof that Harry is only a fifteen year old boy, you just need to look at the fact that he did not realize that the adults in his life have been communicating with each other." |
Harry looked horrified with his mouth open. |
"He now gets to grade Luna’s Yule break essay for charms. Master Flitwick has already approved." Andromeda’s grin turned feral as she turned to Professor Snape. |
"Aunt Andi! Please!" |
"Potions Master Snape. Would you be averse to the same?" |
Severus Snape’s lips twitched before he answered. "No." |
The look of horror on Harry’s face made most of them laugh. |
Luna squealed and clapped her hands. Harry just glared at her. |
"He also gets to spend three hours everyday for the first few days practicing. Dancing in formal heels made for men at a ball." |
"You’ve got to be joking!" Harry yelled in fear. |
"Afraid not Harry dear. You will also copy word for word Moste Potente Potions. At least the first twenty pages...give or take." Andromeda said absently as she took a fake interest in her nails. |
