AN: Hi Guys! This is my first fanfic so if you think it is not very good then that is why. Constructive criticism is appreciated but flames are definitely not. On with the story!

-Harry's POV-

Harry looked up at Cornelius Fudge in a small room in the Leaky Cauldron. "Now Harry," He began. "You're not going to get expelled this time, as it was a burst of accidental magic, but you must try to get a better control over your emotions. If it had happened in a street of muggles then it would have been more serious as we would have to track them all down, obliviate them and recover Marge Dursley. As it is, it was enough to convince the Ministry of Magic to look into history with the Dursleys and we found some shocking things. We found neglect and beatings and that is a terrible thing for any child to live through. I'm sure you are wanting to know who is responsible (apart from the Dursleys) for your suffering." Harry nodded

"Yes sir."

"The person responsible," began Fudge dramatically, "Is... Albus Dumbledore." Harry gasped.

Dumbledore was to blame for all his beatings? Dumbledore was the reason he thought his name was Freak until he started school and heard his name being called out on the register? Slowly his shock turned into anger and a little bit of confusion. "How is he responsible, Minister?"

"2 reasons. 1, because he put you with the Dursleys in the first place, knowing of their hatred for magic yet still placing you there, and 2, because he was your legal guardian so he should of been checking up on you every month to see how you were getting on, at school and at home. With your permission I would like to release this into the wizarding world via The Daily Prophet. At the least it will take a reasonable sized fine out of his vault at Gringotts and strip him of his teaching and head teaching position at Hogwarts as it is a school for children and if one child has gotten abused because of him, no less the Boy-Who-Lived, how many others might? At the most it will give him a hefty fine of 1,000,000 Galleons, strip him of all respect, awards and titles and give him a three month sentence to Azkaban. Oh, and you aren't going to be spending any more holidays with the Dursleys anymore. I will bring it to the adoption board but for now you will have to get a room at an inn or a hotel."

"OK." Harry replied.

After the Minister had left, Harry went down to the bar and asked Tom, the barman, "Hello Tom. Is there a room that I can have until Hogwarts starts?"

"Sorry Mr Potter, we're all booked up until October, but I do know of an inn you can go to. It isn't very well known so not many people go there. It's called The Golden Wand." Tom replied. He scribbled something down on a piece of parchment. "When you read the directions you will most likely have a question so I will answer that now. Not all of Knockturn Alley is evil. If you want more information then just ask the bartender. Oh yes, that reminds me. I got a voucher 100% off when I gave them some money when they started up." Tom handed Harry a piece of parchment on which was written:

100% off at THE GOLDEN WAND. Use before 1/03/30.

"Thanks Tom." Harry said in a grateful tone.

"No problem. I was never going to stay there anyway, might as well give it to you, s-" Tom caught himself. "Also, I hope you like the room." Tom winked at him as he left.

Harry followed the directions and soon came to The Golden Wand. He walked up to the bartender and gave him the voucher. His eyes widened. "T-T-T-This way s-s-sir." He stammered. He led Harry to room. There was gold, silver an other precious metals there, along with extremely rare jewels. Then he looked up from the bathtub. He gasped in shock and delight when he saw the bed. It looked exactly like his bed at Hogwarts, although it was a lot more expensive. The sheets were made out of silk, and the frame was diamond-encrusted gold. He leapt in, not even bothering to change apart from taking of his shoes. The bed was so comfortable, he went into a dreamless sleep, which was something he hadn't had since the Dursleys had started abusing him.

AN:Hi all! Nearly 1k words there, maybe more. I will update in a couple of days when I have time, but If you give me lots of good reviews (No flames or people asking to adopt) then I might do it sooner as it is your reviews that keep us fanfic writers writing. Some of you may not want to read anymore as the Ministry helped Harry, but they only did it because: More popularity for the Minister and the Ministry in general, the ministry won't have to worry about Dumbledore as everyone will hate him and the Ministry will get 10% of the fine on top of the money that was said, e.g. If the fine for Harry is 1,000,000 Galleons, Dumbledore will pay 1,100,000 Galleons and the rest will go to the Ministry.
