Family of Flames and Magic
"Are you sure this is the correct place?" my sectary asked as she parked the car.
"Unfortunately it is the correct place. I have been told there are wards in place make sure the scanner is on. I want to know if there are wards and what kind," I said before getting out of the car.
"Yes sir," she told me once she joined me on the walk. Not long after knocking we were greeted by Petunia Dursley.
"How may I help you?" she asked with a smile I had a feeling if she knew who we really where she wouldn't have opened the door. The late Lady Potter had a lot to say about her sister and not all of it was kind.
"Might we come in; the business we came on is best spoken about behind closed doors," I told her. She smiled at me before asking if I could come back later when her husband was home as he handled all the household business.
"Our business needs not involve him. As it has to do with the child left in your care a few days ago," I told her she paled at that and tried to shut the door. But I held it open and when it became clear to her she had no choice to let us in she stepped aside.
"Janie be a dear and collect the Potter heir and start the listed scans," I said Janie once more told me yes sir and left the living room where I had forced Mrs. Dursley too once in the home. The woman looked positively ill at what I had just said; I understood why when Janie came back with the child and told me where she had found her.
"This will not happen again! If it does I will see to it both children are removed from your care. Your son does carry the blood the wards are based on after all," I said.
"You can't do that! The old freak said we would be safe from your kind so long as we took the brat in," she all but yelled at me.
"Really have you spoken of this matter?" I asked.
"No, there was a letter with that thing. It told me how we had to keep it in our home and we would be safe," she said
"Fetch it," I ordered she glared at me but left to collect the letter. "How is the child?" I asked once she was gone.
"He has a light nappy rash. They might have kept the child in a boot cupboard. But he was feed well it seems so they must not be too heartless. I do not like the looks of the cut on his forehead," she told me. I ran a finger over it and shuddered at the magic I felt inside it. I was pleased to hear the glamour band was still in working order.
"Make a note to have a curse breaker at the healer appointments," I said she nodded before placing the child on the blanket she had speared out. She had just given him some toys to play with when Mrs. Dursley returned. She said nothing as she dropped the letter at my feet it was clear she did not wish to touch me. A click of my fingers had it floating into my hands I smiled at the sound she made.
"There are also to extra bonds on the child that are not in his file," Janie said once she was finished scanning the child.
"Make a note of them then go ready the house. While you are at it seal that cupboard," I told her she nodded at that.
"You don't have the right to go about making changes to my home," Mrs. Dursley snapped out.
"You will find out that I can do what I like," I said drawing her attain back to be Janie quickly left the room after that.
"Just what is she going to do?" The woman asked will more like demanded.
"She will be readying the house for a magical child and setting up a room for the child. As it seems you are unable to do so," I told her. The woman glared at me but said nothing as she sat back down. I raised an eyebrow at what was in the letter blood wards really.
"Where is your phone I need to make a few calls," I told her I needed a team here quickly to look over these so-called wards to make sure they were not harmful to the children.
"Pet who's car is parked out front?" I heard Mr. Dursley asking as he came into the house.
"Have a seat Mr. Dursley. I am here to tell you how you will be treating the Potter heir while he is in your care," I said; the man puffed up and turned a shade of purple.
"Now see here! You freaks cannot come into my home and tell me what to do," the man yelled.
"Then you shall die; you are not needed for the wards to work," I said both adults paled at that. I did not know how the wards worked yet but I knew they had no idea about them save for what was in that letter. And that wasn't much.
"I spoke to your wife when I first came about alternatives for housing the Potter," I said Mr. Dursley looked pleased.
"No! He will do as told I'll make sure of it." Mrs. Dursley said.
"See that you do you know what will happen if any harm comes the child," I said just as Mr. Dursley demanded to be told what was going on. She told him in a harsh whisper that I had told her only their son was really needed and if need be we could be removed.
"There will also be weekly visits from my employs; a house elf will also be assigned to watch the child in case of magical outburst that needed handle quickly," I said
"A what?" both adults asked it would be easier to show them than to explain.
"Tinni," I called said elf quickly popped into the room.
"These being very bad muggles! They be keeping little Harry in a room not fit for elves!" she said so she had been here all along. I would have to ask her just how much care they had given the child.
"I see; a room is being prepared upstairs for the child. The cupboard has been sealed so the child will never be placed back there. I want you here at all times to make sure they are following the rules given to them. If not you are to seal yourself and the children in the nursery and send for me," I said
"Tinni will do," she said before vanishing more than likely to see to the room.
"Fine we'll keep the brat but I want to be paid for doing so," Mr. Dursley said
"Tinni will handle all the money needed for the care and upkeep for the Potter heir," I said
"That is not right we should be compensated for taking that thing into our home," he snapped at me.
"And you are in the form of the wards. So long as Potter calls this place home it will be protected. But I should remind you that you do not carry the blood the wards are based one so you are really not needed," I said once more he turned nice purple color. And I knew what I said next might just push him over the edge.
"But I do not see the child having a problem with that as the mortgage is held the bank I work for. You should also know that the Potter family hold the mortgage stock for Grunnings drill factor," I said the man made a choking sound but did not die. Pity he would be the one to watch.
"That is not possible I know the manager of the bank that holds the loan personally," he said
"It is one of the many subsidiary banks that work for Gringotts," I said as Janie came down the stairs.
"Hello Mr. Dursley it is nice to see you out once more," Janie said with a smile. His wife was quick to demand how he knew her.
"She's Phil's nice our bank manager. If had known he was a freak I would have went else were to do our banking," he said
"Oh, Uncle doesn't have a drop of magic I am like your sister Mrs. Dursley," Janie said before telling me she was finished placing all the monitoring charms.
"Good; I am almost finished here as well you can wait in the car if you wish." She nodded and left the house. "Now before I go; you will bring both boys to this clinic tomorrow," I laid the paper with the address on the table. "Do not make me send anyone to collect them. A team will be by in the night to look over the wards. No one will even notice them do not forget we will be watching you." I said before leaving.
Once outside I raised an eyebrow at the people talking to Janie I could hear what all they were asking her as well.
"Miss Jones we are finished here for today," I said
"Yes sir," She said before opening the car door for me.
"Sir; are you able to tell us why you are here?" Asked a woman I hummed before telling her that I was taking care of some business for the late Lord and Lady Potter. She thanked me before hurrying off I knew a gossip when I saw one and word would work its way around the neighborhood about the Potters. I knew beforehand what Mrs. Dursley had told others of her sister and husband.
"Do you think they will believe what you said you or what they were told?" Janie asked as she drove off.
"Oh, gossips like to know everything and hate not knowing. So she will look into them more than likely; few employees have already put out what I wish them to know. Most of it is the truth the rest is what I want and need them to know about the Potter family," I said
-Time Skip-
"Do you want me to go and see who brought Harry? As we know he was not with the student groups," Janie said
"No, my son is working the lobby today he will tell me whom the child is with and send word when they come into the bank," I told her it wasn't an hour later that word reached me.
"They sent the groundskeeper with Potter and Ragnok needs to be informed. The two goblins that interacted with the child did not mention that you needed to see him," My son said. It seems Dumbledore would be paying the forfeit. Hours later I found myself going over the items Harry had been allowed to buy. It was only the basics and only the only other item not on the list Potter had been able to buy was a trunk.
"Janie will take you to get the other items you need. I will need to take that owl and have it checked for spells and have spelled placed on it for safety reason," I said both of them nodded at that. "Now is there anything you would like before you start school?" I asked Potter looked at the owl sadly.
"I really did not want an owl; I was hoping to find out if my grades were well enough for a trip to the magical district in Japan. I would like to get a two-tailed cat," she said
"Owls are very useful animals," Janie said
"I understand that but that owl is very noticeable and just by being me everyone will be paying to attain to any pet I have," she said
"True, I will keep the owl in my office until we can find a use for it. As I have already seen your marks so I can tell you they are well enough for the trip. However why there you will be taking a language O.W.L." I said
"Sir are you sure?"Janie asked
"Yes; as it will be an international test it is filed differently than O.W.L.S. held at Hogwarts," I said
"Janie I knew about this beforehand. I will be tested on all the languages I know or learning," Potter told her.
"But you know four languages as of right now and are learning three more," Janie said.
"I know and I do not mind the test they are not that hard," Potter told her.
"Janie before you take Potter shopping I need an oath from you," I said she looked at me oddly but pulled out her wand.
"A binding oath," I said she blinked than glared
"You cannot expect a child to bind us!" She snapped out I laughed at that.
"No; Potter's healer will act as the binder Potter is her as the witness," I told her as said healer came into the office. Once the oath was given I told Janie the truth about Potter.
"So you really a girl?" Janie said Potter just nodded "Please tell me your parents did not name you Harry James Potter," Janie said.
"Hayden Selene Potter," she said holding out her hand for the other woman.
"Hayden is still an odd name for a girl," Janie said
"Maybe but I like it, we have a ton of things to get including a different trunk," Potter said
"I was going to get you one before I knew your true gender that one is just sad," Janie said. Once Janie had left to collect the needed item Potter sat down in front of my desk.
"What should I do about the fact I was not told how to get on the plate form?" Hayden asked
"I am sure Dumbledore has a plain for you but I want you on the train before he can enact them," I told her
"How invisible do I need to be?" she asked.
"Nothing a normal non-magical child could do and nothing that will hint to your training," I told her
"I understand; where you able to get some extra uniforms?" she asked I told her that I was and would send them by elf once she was settled into school. The week before I was to take Hayden on her overseas shopping trip was a crazy one. Five goblins were put to death for their roles in helping steal form, Potter. I had gained six extra vaults to handle and they all needed to be audited. Plus a wizard had tried to break in the vaults for some reason and if not for Janie he might have gotten away.
Gringotts tried to keep up with the non-magical but who knew taser could be some small. But we now had a way to get a man inside Hogwarts and after questioning both souls in the body. Ragnok was not pleased when he learned how the thing was alive and less pleased when he learned that one of our vaults was being used to hold a soul piece.
"Ragnok might I ask why you wish to see my charge?" I asked after he had tasked me to arrange a meeting.
"You dare question our leader!" snapped one of the guards.
"I am not questioning him. I just wish to know why he wants to meet my charge; I was tasked by her parents to keep her safe. I know she could not have done anything to offend the nation. She, in fact, has taken to the lessons we allow for our human workers," I said
"As it was your sectary that stopped the human and the abomination. So I know you were made aware of the other Horcruxes. We have collected all but a few of them. Two have been dealt with already; in fact, you destroyed one some years ago. However, it never accrued to anyone that black magic you had removed was a soul piece." Ragnok said I paled at that and made a mental note to keep a closer eye on Dumbledore.
"We were able to find out other location of his soul pieces. One has been moved but we might have a way to find out where. I need to speak to your charge for two reasons. You know she is the heir the Black family holdings," I nodded at that Lord A Black had come in a few weeks ago and named her heir. "The abomination told us he had ordered his follower to store one of his soul pieces in our vaults. All the items in the vault are cursed; however, the owners or heirs of the family could allow us to enter and remove any items. After some searching I was able to find an heir to the LaStrange family; it is your charge." Ragnok told me I blinked at that.
"How?" I asked almost in a whisper
"Before they were arrested they were able to adopt the child by blood. I do not know when or how but it works in our favor. I would like you to set up a meeting with Lord Black and your charge," Ragnok said
"I will sir; oh I should warn you my charge is a fan of your take over and will more than likely ask for your autograph," I told him; he just laughed at that. The meetings went smoothly Lord Black was even able to help us claim the one we knew to be held by Malfoy. I had been informed that there was the only one left and our agent going in place of the human Quirrell would deal with it by year's end.
And like all other trips, something would happen it was why I made her wear a different glamour band that would also hide her flame types. It would be trouble of the worse sort if the wrong families found out her flame type. I had been waiting for something to happen I did not expect for her to meet a member of A. By the time they had finished talking she had an invitation to the summer camp held in Mafia land.
"I can go right?" she asked as she bounced in place.
"If your grades meet the standers you may," I told her she hugged me at that. I had basically told her she could go; she kept up her grades even if she did not have a reason too.
"So are you able to tell me what is bothering you?" she asked the brat knew me too well.
"It is about your birth family," I told her she frowned at that. While she knew of her adoption, she did not know of the reasons and I had just found out some information that displeases me.
"The news displeases you and will upset me," she said
"Yes," I told her before getting the flies out and handing them over for her to read.
"Is there anything we can do to help them? I can see from the reports (nana) is a lost cause. But there has to be a way to help my brothers," she said
"Helping the youngest will be easy. I have already put plains into motions and will enact them next summer. I am just not sure how to help Blaise the boy is just too close to the problem," I told her.
"Just keep thinking on it maybe something will come to us. Thank you for telling me most would hide it from me as I am a child," she said
I yawned as I came down the stairs, "You're up early Harry," Dudley said from his spot in front of the stove.
"Could say the same to you why are you up?" I asked as I sat down.
"I wanted to make you a good breakfast before you head off for your train as they only serve sweet on it and I know that you don't like sweets all that much," he said
"Thank you; but how did you know that?" I asked
"Oh, I read some of your books. Really liked Hogwarts: A History," He told me
"Not that I mind but why are you reading my books; you know your parents wouldn't like it," I said
"Fuck them and what they think. If not for your account manager I would be just like Piers," he snapped out. I shuddered at the thought of Dudley being like Peairs Polkerson.
"Let's be thankful for small miracles. Will you be okay after I leave?" I asked
"I should be but if a need up I can always go to the bank and talk to your manager," he said I sat up at that.
"Dudley, can you see the inn that leads to the ally?" I asked
"Clear as day, I followed you once when you took the bus there. Been a few times myself but did not want to buy anything in case it was found," he told me.
"Help me carry my things down we both needed to be ready when the cab comes. You need to speak to Rok right now," I said he asked why as he turned off the stove. I told him I could not explain it myself and to leave everything where it was. It would be good for Petunia to do some housework.
"I still do not get why it is so importation that I can see the inn," Dudley said as we were waiting on the cab.
"It has to do with magic that is all I know. You might have magic like mine or you could be a squib," I told him.
"I could just go on my own this is going to make you late. I would hate for you to miss your train," He said.
"I have time just got to think of a reason to get the cabby to make a few extra stops without asking questions," I said
"Where else did you have to go this morning?" he asked
"I was going to stop at Granny's cafe for breakfast and get the lunch I order for today," I told him.
"So I was cooking for no reason?" He asked.
"It was nice of you but your cooking still sucks. You might make a mean sandwich but you somehow burn water," I told him he smiled and said that was true. Once dressed for the day and after explaining just why I was dressed as a girl.
The Cabby was more than willing to make a few extra stops. In his words, I was his boss until I paid him and if a wanted to pay him extra is was my business. Once in Rok's office, Dudley all but shoved me out telling me not to miss my train and he would send word when he knew something.
"Were here kid," the cabby said as he stopped in the unloading zone. I paid him after he helped me load my things onto a trolley. I had a feeling he was only being so nice because I had dressed as a girl. I hated having short hair but Harry Potter had to have short messy hair.
As I made my way over to the entice I could not help but overhear a woman calling how the station was packed with muggles and asking her daughter where to go. I could tell the other children with her were hers and all Hogwarts students. This had to be part of Dumbledore's plan, Rok had warned me about the families in his pocket and this family was one of them. It was easy to slip past them. While I could not see any aurors I saw someone better . I smile when spotted better Madam Bones was seeing someone off. While I hate to break up a send-off but knew the higher up those involved the less likely Dumbledore could get them off.
"This best not be a joke young lady," Madam Bones told me after I had told her what I had seen on the other side.
"I wouldn't joke about someone breaking the law like this," I said while the girl she had just hugged before I stopped to tell her the news glared at me. Madam Bones was quick to tell two Alours to follow her and I was quick to get away so I could change outfits and wigs. She might come looking for me on the train and I did not wish to be found until the sorting.
I had just settled in when one of the Weasley children popped his head into the compartment asking me if I had seen Harry Potter; that they were best mates.
"No; does he really have a scar?" I asked he just told me I must be one of those muggle-borns before leaving. The train left shortly after that I settled in with a book I wasn't really reading it. I was using it to hide my smile from the people that were looking for The-Boy-Who-Lived.
I looked up when someone knocked rather than opening the door to see whom was inside or wasn't in many cases.
"Sorry to interrupt your reading put have you seen a toad? Mine has gotten away from me," A somewhat chubby boy I knew to be the Longbottom heir asked.
"No, I am sorry to say that I haven't but maybe I can help you find it. Where did you have it last?" I asked him. He how he had placed it in his pocket before getting on the train. "Did you look in all your pockets?" I asked making him blush six pockets latter he had found his toad. I had also talked him into joining me until the girl helping him came along so they did not miss each other.
"Thank you for helping me and you might be right about my pockets. Oh, I just realized I never introduced myself. I am Neville Longbottom," he said holding out his hand. Before I could return the favor as I did not mind him know I was Harry Potter. A girl stepped into the compartment, I had thought she was another person hunting The-Boy-Who-Lived. But she started in on Neville for sitting around while she did all the work to find his toad.
"If you had opened your eyes and not your month you might have noticed he has already found his missing pet," I said
"You don't have the right to be so rude! Apologize right now!" She snapped out.
"Not going to happen; why don't you go on about your business and I will finish up here," I said the girl huffed before telling Neville to come along.
"I think I will stay here and finish talking," He said only for the girl the order him to come along that they had to go back to their compartment.
"You're not his boss and you clearly do not know how this world works. Now leave before I make you," I snapped out I hated dealing with people like her. She glared at me but thankfully left without saying anything more. I shut and sealed the door once she was gone I did not wish to be overheard.
"Before I tell you whom I am I need your word you will not tell anyone whom I am," I said.
"I think I should leave as it is not right to ask such a thing for a name," he said as he stood I blinked.
"I do not want your oath, just your word that you will not tell anyone whom I am. I trust the word of the Longbottom family," I said he say back down still frowning but said I had his word.
"I am Harry Potter," I said holding out my hand he looked at me very confused I just removed the wig. And spent the next little while explaining about fake hair. The door was opened a short while later the woman selling candy did not look to please.
"Thank you," I said before rushing out of the compartment and into the bathroom a few doors down. When I returned both Neville and the snack lady were still confused.
"Someone sealed us in and I really needed to go," I told her she frowned and asked us if we wanted anything off the cart.
"No thank you we stocked up in the alley," I said Rok had never been able to confirm or deny that Dumbledore dosed the candy sold on the train. After she left the only other time someone came in it was the Malfoy heir who called me a mudblood and Neville a squib. It took some doing but I got him to tell me just why Malfoy had called him that. I would have to report this to Rok. The Longbottom family were an allied family and Neville did not deserve the treatment he got at his family hands no less. As the only one with Potter blood left it to feel to me to do something.
I would also be reporting to Lord Black about Malfoy's actions. The man wanted to know if the boy was worthy of being a member of the Black family. Luckily only one other person shared the boat with Neville and I. The Zanbini heir thought it was funny I had used a wig to hid whom I was. He did ask about my scar I told him it had faded over the years. I used both of them as a shield to keep people away until we were in line to be sorted. Once the hat was on my head I heard it laughing it told me my housing would be taking care of before placing me in Gryffindor. The feast was a lot save for whatever was in the juice, I would have to see about getting some of it sent off for testing.
Once in the house all first years were ordered to be I went with the other first-year boys as expected only to slide down the stairs. The perfects where none too happy and thought it was a prank set up by the twins. And for some reason, I was sent up the stairs to test them only to slide back down. "Best go get Professor McGonagall," one of the perfects said. It did not take long for her and the headmaster to arrive.
"What is going on here?" she asked the boy who had sent for explained than told me to go up the stairs and once more I slide down to the bottom.
"We are not sure when the boys went up it turned into a slide. Just like when a boy tries to go up to the girl dorms. I sent Potter up to make sure it wasn't a prank and you saw the effects yourselves just now," he said. Once more we were sent up in a group and once more we came sliding back down. After that they sent us up one by one soon it was only Ronald Weasley and myself left downstairs. I let Weasley go before me as I had a feeling all I would do was slide back down.
After the fifth time I had sent up only to slide back down I refused to move from my spot on the floor. "I am not going up again," I snapped from my spot than yawned.
"It is quite late, I put the boy up in the head boy and girl apartment until we can figure this out. Potter, I trust you will not misuse the rooms, no one but yourself is allowed up in them." McGonagall said I yawned before telling her I understood. I really wanted to get to bed but I also wanted to know what Rok had found out about Dudley's test.
I yawned as I made my way down the stairs, Rok had sent a letter by an elf telling me Dudley had magic. And by magic, I meant enough that he should have been here with me but yet no letters had come. Rok said he would get Dudley into a day school but it would be safer if Dudley did not attend Hogwarts so long as Dumbledore was the Headmaster.
"You never came up last night what happened?" Weasley asked as I sat down. I glared at him than at the table there was no coffee. I yawned before telling them how I had been put in the Headboy apartment until they could figure out why I could not go up the stairs. "Sweet my brother told me there is a private bath in the rooms so we won't have to share," Weasley said
"I haven't looked but I am not allowed to take anyone up," I said
"But I am your best mate," Weasley said I glared at him.
"I do not know where you got that idea. I have known you less than a day so there is no way we could be best mates," I said
"But Ron said you have been friends since you were little," one of our housemates said.
"Nope I never knew about magic before my last birthday and if I had to pick a best mate I would have to say it would be my cousin Dudley," I told him Weasley was blushing so badly his ears were red. A few days later Malfoy approached me while I was studying with Neville in the library.
"Potter I know we have not spoken and I blame that on Weasley as he told me on the train you two were best friends. That made me assume some things about you and your shorting only sulfide that believe." "Your point Malfoy," "Yes sorry; I would like to introduce myself," He told me and he did just that.
He joined us in our study sessions after that it was odd as he had told us he did not want anyone to know. Neville had been confused at first but after our first potion lesson and at our next session he told Draco he understood. It was then I realized his actions on the train was just an act.
"Harry do you have any idea while Snape seems to hate you?" Neville asked
"No clue and I really don't care," I said
"You should Potter there are many jobs that you will need potions for," Draco said
"Yes, Snape might be the Professor but he is not in charge of the testing. I looked it up I can take the O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T.S independently if I pay for them myself," I told them. Neville just grinned and said he might do that himself. Before I knew it was the day my parents had died, I had talked to McGonagall a few days ago about missing classes and the feast. But she did not seem to care she even told me I should not try and use my fame to be treated differently than others.
"Percy you said we could come to you if we had a problem," I said
"What is it, Potter?" Percy asked so I told him and he frowned.
"I am not sure what I could do if you have already spoken to Professor McGonagall about this," He said
"Oh I was hoping you might know something," I told him he just hugged me and whispered he would look into this for me and if he could not do something this year he would next year. I thanked him and walked out I did not get far before being pulled into a classroom.
"Easy there little Potter," one of the Weasley twins said
"We couldn't help overhear your talk with Percy and we have a way to help," said the other.
"Go on," I told them they went on to tell me if one was in the hospital wing then they could miss class and the feast. "Why didn't your brother tell me this?" I asked.
"He thinks within the rules we think outside the box," They said at the same time I sighed before telling them that Madam Pomfrey would not let me skip if not sick.
"We have an answer to that too," one said as he held out a potion I looked at him like he was stupid.
"I am not taking that no telling what it will do," I said
"It will give you feathers we have an antidote," said the other twin before I could tell them they were nuts the door was opened.
"Just what are you doing?" their brother asked the twins looked at each other I was surprised when they told him the truth. "Potter my brothers might be a lot of things but they do not lie about their jokes. Take the potion and go to the hospital wing hopeful next year you will not have to do this. I am very disappointed in our head of house," Percy said before leaving.
"I think the world might end soon," the twins said at the same time I looked at them and could not help but laugh. I had overheard Percy complain about his brothers more than once. It was odd to hear someone complain about a person nicely and I could not help but think that was how families were really should act.
I sat still on the bed as Madam Pomfrey lectured the twins about tricking first years into testing their joke candies. I felt bad they were getting talked to in such a way.
"Ten points each," she said at the end they looked at her oddly I could tell they were confused mainly because I was confused as well.
"Are you giving or taking Madam?" I asked if she was taking I would tell her why.
"Giving Potter just like they best give you the counter potion. We have already had this talk before about testing on other students," She said I took the potion out and downed it, I giggled when the feathers fell off they had told me it might tickle.
"I will keep him here for the day and let the Professors know where he is. You two best hurry or you will be late for your morning classes." Both the boys ran from the room while wishing me luck. I did not understand why until Madam Pomfrey asked why I took such steps to get out of classes.
"You know what today is?" I asked she nodded sadly at that. I went on to tell her about talking to McGonagall about missing classes and the feast tonight. "I see well no worries I will be having words with her over this. We have other students that have lost their parents and they have been allowed to miss out on those days," she said before ordering me to rest. Over the course of the day, she told me what little she knew about my parents time at school. An elf had just brought us up some treys when another elf popped in to tell her a troll was lose in the school. The other Professor was going to deal with it while the students made their way back to their houses.
"That's stupid the Headmaster should have made everyone stay put," I said
"Potter I am sure the Headmaster knows what he is doing," Madam Pomfrey said as she walked over to the doors and shut them. She cast some sort of spell that made them glow.
"And yet he sent two houses into the path of the troll. I know the Slytherin house is in the dungeon and Hufflepuff are just off the first floor," I told her she paled and ran to the fire and tossed some floo powder in. A group of healers from the hospital soon joined us I was told to get out of the bed as it might be needed. A few waves of her wand and it had new sheets.
"Potter if need be can you do as the healers ask," Madam Pomfrey asked I just nodded before telling her I had taken a first aid course this summer. It wasn't long before someone was brought in it wasn't a Slytherin or Hufflepuff but Granger.
"Never thought she would run into the troll," I said softly but my head of house heard as she was quick to give me a detention.
"And how does that earn a detention?" I asked
"I will not have you talking badly about a housemate as they fight for their life. Your parents would be ashamed of you. We will also be talking about the fact you skipped classes today along with the feast," the woman said I would not be going to that detention or any others she assigned.
"I said nothing bad about Granger just that I was shocked she ran across the troll. Our house is no were near the dungeon so unless the girl went looking for the troll she should have been in the tower by now. She follows the rules so she would have gone to the tower when ordered to by the Headmaster. Said man just walked in and stopped short, one of the healers working on Granger told him to make key their Portkey so they could take Granger to the Hospital.
"I am sure that is not necessary. I trust Madam Pomfrey skill to heal the dear girl," he said I blinked at that.
"If the healer says Granger goes then she needs to go," Madam Pomfrey said the man still looked like he wanted to protest but allowed it at the looks he was getting.
"Harry my boy why are you here and not in Gryffindor?" the headmaster said
"I was just about to find that out myself headmaster. I have already given the boy a detention for skipping classes and the feast," McGonagall said I think she would have said more if not for the fact Madam Pomfrey had smacked her.
"You are the worst; have you forgotten what this day is for him? The boy lost his parents today and yet you wanted him to feast and be merry," Madam Pomfrey yelled the other healers started whispering at that.
"I am sure if Harry had talked to her she would have allowed him to stay in the tower and there is no needed for such violence," the headmaster said
"He did and was told just because he was famous did not mean he could skip classes and miss importation feast. Funny we let Miss Jones from Hufflepuff out of classes on the day her mother died. Shall I make the announcement we will be stopping that practice?" she asked before telling me to get back in my bed before ordering both Dumbledore and McGonagall out.
