Harry and the day of oaths
Harry Potter could say his life sucked, he could say he was fate's bitch and she licked to kick him...alot. Who is Harry Potter well he is a scrawny under weight child who has been dumped on from a great height a few to many times. It had all started with a demented fool who called himself Voldemort who murdered Harry's parents. The next fault lay with the one and only Albus Dumbledore. Some called him the leader of the light Harry called him Dumbledick. The reasons were many one Harry hated his so called home and even though he had complained and done everything he could to get out of there even going so far as trying to buy a wizard home Dumbledick had blocked him in every way possible. Harry had what could be called a bird nest of black hair that never seemed to grow …...well it had once when his aunt had decided to shave him bold and his hair grew overnight but not since then. His most famous thing was a lighting bolt scar in the middle of his forehead something he had only just found out by chance was covering his middle eye or his inner eye and the lightning bolt itself was supposed to have some runic meaning...blah to him it was a mark of tommy (Voldemort) boys arse kicking number one. Then came Dumbledicks next great screw up he actually hired the dark lord in hiding to be a defence teacher then covered it up it was amazing that students one day new Quirrell was Voldemort and yet not one parent did anything about it? rrrriiiiiiiiiiggghhhhhtttt parents love having disembodied dark lords as teachers... Cover up any one cough cough. Next we have a defence teacher who went around wiping peoples memory's and was grossly incompetent and lets not forget the little fact that Dumbledick new tommy boy was alive even if not in a body so as far as he knew unless he knew the truth and was setting Harry up again then Tommy boy had got back in the school and could have been hiding in the secret chamber getting his strength back. Third year a escaped (from an inescapable prison) convict got into the school on several occasions this is the same school that advertises itself as one of the most secure and safest places in Britain. (troll cough cough that can open doors move around without portraits or ghosts noticing and informing said Dumbledick) Oh and lets not forget the illegal animagus that lived in the school for nearly 11 years with no one noticing... then the latest screw up the Tri-Wizard tournament where ancient artefacts of great power can't even count up-to 3. Also it should be noted that if Dumbledick cast an age line and the only one who could get past was one Harry Potter then it would suggest several things one Harry was more intelligent than all the under age kids that tried to enter or two Harry was more powerful than Dumbledick. In either case pissing him off would be a very stupid thing to do yet the whole school had done so. Then there was escaped convict number two Barty crouch junior who was kept under the imperious ( a forbidden curse) by his ministry employed father. Said escaped convict then fooled Dumbledick into thinking he was (with the aid of a Polyjuice potion that changes peoples looks but adds none of the inteligence of said person or else if harry had wanted to know if Draco was the heir of Slytherin he would have just Polyjuiced into Draco and found out from his stolen knowledge) his life long best friend...right so Dumbledick should be arrested for false advertising and miss representing himself. Now with Harry back at school some toad women kept picking on him and he had, had enough. Years of keeping quiet where gone he was going to fight back.
Umbridge smiled as Harry bloody Potter asked for ink she smiled and told him it was unneeded. She would later consider this a very stupid thing, if only she had used a normal quill. She shivered as a Dementor went past her cell and looked back over that fateful day.
She had just told Potter he had not need ink when the boys eyes seemed to glow.
"Do you know who I am?
I am Harry Potter the boy who lived, the tri-wizard champion and the heir of Gryffindor head of the most ancient and noble house of Potter. I will not be using one of these Quills to do lines. There is nothing you can do to make me."
She stared at him as if had a stupid moment.
"Mr Potter you will do those lines with that Quill and stop making a pest of yourself , you have an over inflated ego of your own importance."
Harry smiled pulled his wand out and "Incendio incendio. The next ones hit you toad face now you will write!"
She tried to move out the way of the flame spells but her hand passed over a sheet of parchment he had ignited. She let out a whimper as she looked into his eyes and realised they looked like a pair of killing curses coming straight for her. She let out a pathetic whimper as he got closer his wand not moving from her face.
"Here use this quill and write... I must not use illegal torture methods on children to make them tell lies just so I can feel human and not like an inferior toad faced old bag."
She tried to say "no" she did but as soon as he got as far as "incen" she put quill to parchment and started she whimpered with each letter and as soon as she had done one line she stopped.
"Oh no! Remember it is (until it sinks in) so get writing and don't forget this is an hour long detention toad hop to it."
Umbridge had tried to write slow but he had just reducto'ed one of her pictures. The fact that the picture was only 3 inches to the left of her head sent a clear message and she speeded up. All the time she was planning Potters downfall.
Harry's point view.
She passed out just after the 40 min mark so Harry, feeling kind, lifted her hand and made stabbing motions on the parchment so that she had plenty of full stops with her lines. He left the nib on the parchment and left.
The next morning there was an almighty fuss as Umbridge was found and taken to the hospital wing. Harry smiled and made his way over to Susan Bones.
"Excuse me... I was wondering if I could ask a favour?"
Sue looked at him and nodded to a quiet corner. When they got there, Harry smiled, "Sue I am going to need a lawyer, your aunt and some good Aurors not in Fudges or Malfoy's pockets when Umbitch comes around."
Susan looked at him funny and just nodded... " I will send a note now"
Harry stopped her "nope use the flue I don't want anyone knowing. Oh and tell her to bring truth serum and cuffs and.. someone to take notes so that it can't be called illegal."
Sue looked at him and nodded. Inside she smiled "THE" Harry Potter wanted a favour from HER that meant she could get one in return. Images of a date hit her along with some naughtier ones involving whipped cream and butterscotch sauce.
Harry wondered off to his first lesson a smile on his lips.
It was part way through his second lesson of the day (potions) that he was ordered to the headmaster's office by his head of house, whom had the thinnest lined lips he had ever seen on her face. To say she looked displeased was like saying Umbitch looked 'toad like'. He never bothered to ask why he was wanted and just packed up his stuff and followed her to the headmaster's office.
…...
Umbridge view
She came around and could smell the distinct scent of a hospital her hand was in agony. "What how why..." Potter bloody Potter she would have him kissed for this. She tried to sit up but fell back down. A voice came from her side and behind her.
"Your awake, good I couldn't give you any pain potions until you were awake. I will go fetch them now."
After some disgusting tasting potions and a cup of tea she called for the headmaster and for Minister Fudge.
She sat there with a smile on her face. Potters goose was cooked.
She had only a few minutes to wait when Dumbledore and Fudge came in the room with several Aurors.
"Delores how did this happen? Do you know who is responsible?" were the first words from her dear Ministers mouth. She was not about to disappoint him she said one word and saw her beloved minister face light up like it was his birthday and Christmas all at once.
"Potter."
She watched as Dumbledore's face fell and smiled to herself.
Dumbledore sent a message spell to Professor McGonagall for her to fetch Harry Potter to his room for Questioning on the attack on Professor Umbridge.
Both the minister and Umbridge could see it cost him a lot to do that and as soon as she was dressed she and Minister Fudge with the Auror's in tow headed to the Headmasters office.
Dumbledore looked hard in thought and walked on ahead.
Once seated Madam Umbridge told them of the cowardly attack by Potter as he refused to do her detention. She also said she feared for her life as he cast dark spells at her. She made sure not to mention where Potter got the illegal quill from or anything else that might make her look bad.
The door opened and Potter and McGonagall entered. Then to her disgust he smiled and burst out laughing.
….
Harry's point view.
Harry saw Fudge, Umbitch and Dumbledick sitting facing him with several Aurors standing around and he smiled, then at the look on Umbitches face he burst out laughing as he thought what his dad would have to say to this little set up.
"So headmaster what can I do for you today?" he said in his normal voice (once he had calmed down).
Dumbledick just looked at him and shook his head, "Mr Potter very grave things have been said about you and I am most disappointed in you even more so if they are true." He made his patented puppy dog eyes at Harry with them set to twinkle number 2 instead of his normal twinkle number 5.
Harry smiled "great so that's all sorted now maybe you could answer me and tell me what I have done and not what you think."
Dumbledick shook his head and McGonagall spoke up "MR Potter you are in trouble I think the least you can do is show some respect for the headmaster."
Harry smiled like a cat who caught the cannery and licked his lips
"Professor he failed to answer me on top of that he has never done a single thing to earn my respect. Now if I am accused of something then I am allowed to have representation as I am a legal adult."
She looked at him confused "Mr Potter you are a minor not an adult."
Harry smiled "Nope, the Tri-wizard tournament was for adults only, when the ministry made me complete, they made me an adult and then when I had to defended myself against those Dementors, I was tried in a full hearing. They are also for adults only. So you see I am an adult and as such I will call my defence now."
He headed to the flue got some powder and made several calls.
All of them in the room tried to see whom he called but he blocked their view.
He stepped back and the flue changed colour as Amelia Bones and several Aurors came through. Fudges guards looked worried this was their boss. Fudge was caught of guard and so was Dumbledick. Then the flue flared again and out stepped…
"SIRIUS BLACK arrest that man call the Dementors." Fudge was screaming. The Aurors had their wands out and even Dumbledick looked shocked.
"Madam Bones, as you know some here are trying to say I am still a minor, so I have called my legal guardian to come here and make sure justice is done. Could you tell those morons to drop their wands as I would hate to see them in Azkaban for murder or something?"
Amelia was stunned, Harry had asked her no mater what she was to back him in the first thing that happens and not to worry as he would harm no one. She had thought He meant that He would harm no one, now it seemed he meant Black.
She took a chance as she saw Mr Potter standing protectively in front of the one man she would have sworn he would try to kill.
"STAND DOWN, that is an order." she shouted out. As her Auror's and the ones with Fudge lowered their wands she turned to Mr Potter and shook her head.
"Mr Potter you had better have a bloody good explanation as to what's going on here or you will be kissed with Black."
And the scamp smiled at her. He actually smiled at her.
With all the wands down Harry stepped out the way of his Godfather and passed him his wand.
"Okay guess first things first."
He looked at Sirius and smiled.
Sirius just wished he felt as brave as Harry looked but he wanted it all to stop and Harry swore he would make it happen in true Marauders style. He had nearly filled his pants when he had stepped out the flue and seen all those Auror's and Bones standing there.
"Okay you old dog repeat after me.'
"I Sirius Orion Black hear-by swear upon my magic and my life."
Harry waited as Sirius repeated it and saw Dumbledick pale.
"That I was not the Potters secret keeper, I did not kill Peter Pettigrew, I mean no harm to any honest person in this room unless they attack me or Harry first."
As Sirius said this, he smiled, he could now see where this was going and he noticed Dumbledore's look of distress.
Harry continued,
" That Peter Pettigrew is still alive as far as I know and the last time I saw him was last year when we had him cornered in the shrieking shack. HE has spent all this time either at the Weasley family home or Hogwarts and that Albus Dumbledore knows I am innocent and he knew that Peter Pettigrew is alive."
At this every eye turned to Dumbledore and he looked like he wanted to curse someone badly. This ordeal was not over yet for him.
Harry continued,
" I am not an escaped convict and have been hiding because I am an escaped kidnap victim and do not want a corrupt ministry to murder me."
At this Sirius looked a bit worried but he took a deep breath and repeated it.
" I only want my godson and me to be safe and left alone. So mote it be."
As he said the last bit there was a bright white light and he was still standing. This meant his oath was real this was stronger proof than Veritaserum.
Fudge looked like he had a damp patch in front of his trouser and Harry, well he just smiled and winked at his Godfather.
"Now Amelia." Harry started "What is the legal definition of an escaped convict?"
Amelia who was in a state of shock collected her thoughts..."An escaped convict is a person who has been sentenced to a term in prison and has escaped before his sentence was finished."
Harry smiled "Okay good answer now what is a kidnap victim?"
Dumbledore went white all his plans were coming crashing down, you could see it in his face.
"Well" Madam Bones started "a kidnap victim is a person who has been illegally imprisoned maybe in a room or something and has no way out bar escaping or rescue. They are often held for ransom and any one who takes a person and illegally detains them by not allowing them to leave when they wish is a kidnapper."
Harry smiled and so did his Godfather.
"So the fact that my Godfather never had a trial, was never convicted of any crime and was never questioned with the truth serum but was grabbed off the street and thrown into Azkaban, was never allowed visitors and was tortured everyday would make him what?"
Amelia paled "It would make him an escaped kidnap victim... and the ministry officials involved kidnappers…"
Harry smiled "Don't you think it amazing that the first time Fudge visited him that Fudge left behind a newspaper with Peter Pettigrew on the front page?"
Amelia noticed Fudge going white. Harry looked at his godfather "well Old man repeat after me."
"I Sirius Orion Black swear I came to Hogwarts to protect my Godson from Peter Pettigrew who I saw on the front page of the newspaper the minister by coincident left behind."
Sirius smiled and made the oath but added that he was shocked that Dumbledore allowed him to rot in prison while Peter ran around a school full of kids.
Dumbledore was shaking with rage.
…..
Fudges view
HE sat there as Black made his oaths and knew his time as minister was up. He looked at the shocked face of Dolores and tried to smile but he knew they where in deep trouble.
….
Harry's view
"Madam bones could I ask a question please."
Harry said with his grin now becoming Cheshire cat like. She nodded
"Who controls the Dementors?"
She had no hesitation in replying they where under ministry control.
Harry held out his hand and his Godfather passed him his wand back.
"I Harry James Potter swear on my magic and my life that Dementors have tried to kiss me on several occasions the first being on the train coming to Hogwarts the second in the middle of a Quidditch match and also when I was with my cousin walking down the street to go to number 4 Privet drive. A place the Headmaster makes me go back to every year saying it safe for me there yet the Dementors still nearly got me."
A flash of light and a quick Wingardium leviosa and it showed that he still had his magic and was proof that the Dementors did attacked him and he had every right to defend himself. He was not finished though.
"I also Swear that the half blood that calls himself lord Voldemort is alive and that the headmaster knows he is alive, because he hired him to teach defence in my first year. Even if he went by the name Quirrell. So mote it be."
The flash of light and Harry still standing was the final nail in Dumbledore's career and maybe even his freedom. Harry was smiling "So what am I now accused of?"
He smiled and Fudge hoped and prayed that Dolores was not lying.
"You used an illegal item and tried to kill me." Dolores barked well croaked out.
Harry smiled
"I hereby swear the Quill Dolores used was the one she wanted me to write I must not tell lies with and as she said it was until the message sank in. I also swear I asked her if she knew who I was as I was head of house Potter-Gryffindor and she just said it didn't matter and so I defended myself and made the punishment fit the crime as is pure-blood law. So mote it be"
The minister started to shake forget sacked he had told everyone she had his full backing and now it looked like he would be kissed along with her.
The light and Harry still standing and making sparks fly from his wand ruined Umbitches life. "Now madam Bones I believe I have the right to demand that she is questioned under the truth serum as the head of a family that has been attacked?"
Bones wanted to jump for joy she wanted to kiss Harry but she settled for nodding and getting Dolores to stick her tongue out. £ drops of Veritaserum were given to her and with each question Dolores dug her way into Azkaban with it, she told them that she brought the Quill and how she knew it was illegal and how she was only going to use it on half bloods and mud-bloods, Fudge wanted to curl up and cry. McGonagall felt sick and wanted to kill her while Harry and Sirius enjoyed a cup of tea that Dobby had brought them. She told after prompting that she had taught no one how to cast a spell and every child that had taken dada had been made to read books. When Harry pointed out that he had nearly been killed by and escaped convict (crouch junior) and the ministry had failed to keep him in jail when Umbridge had asked why they needed to learn to defend themselves Harry's argument was not only right but justified as he had nearly been killed in this very school more times than any one else.
"So madam Bones as I have not broken... Actually Madam Bones she is high in the ministry why not ask her about the Dementors it can't hurt can it?"
Fudge was about to protest but the shocks and his limited brain ability made him to slow on the uptake. The "me and Minister Fudge sent them as he is a trouble maker and Mr Malfoy wanted him out the way." Sealed his, Dolores and Malfoy's fate for an extended trip to jail.
Madam Bones was trying to figure out a way to kiss Harry and not get in trouble for it.
Meanwhile Dumbledick looked ready to kill. He had been dropped in it, he knew that people would question why he hired Tom or at least question why he never knew Quirrell was carrying Tom around on the back of his head after all the school wards (that he was always bragging about) would and had in fact told him. Then he saw Harry smile at him and was about to go for his wand when he saw Madam Bones and all the Aurors looking at him. He looked like he wanted to kill or cry or maybe both. Harry had no sympathy for him.
"Madam Bones would you say I am famous?"
She looked at him and smiled "Just a bit why?"
"Well" And he held up his wand
" I Harry James Potter swear that until I got my first Hogwarts letter I had never received any mail once my parents were dead. I also have never received a bank statement and until Hagrid showed up I had never had a birthday card or present or a Christmas card or presents, I never knew of the magical world as I was locked in a small broom closet for most of my life. I was not even given a bedroom until my first Hogwarts letter. It was addressed to the cupboard under the stairs. I also have never had or seen a doctor for my eyes and I have not been treated for malnutrition like I would have thought I should have been as my muggle guardians starved and beat me daily."
Harry took a deep breath,
" I also swear that whoever took over as my magical guardian never protected me never contacted me and had nothing to do with me. If I find out who it is and if they have lost me any money and not kept my house in Godric hollow in good condition for when I move in after school I will sue them for every thing they have. After all as my Guardian he or she should make sure I have a place to live and all my parents stuff that is irreplaceable is left untouched and undamaged. Also I have found out a lot of people left me money and property when they died so my magical guardian should have made sure all that was looked after if they failed then I want it back at their expense. So mote it be"
Dumbledick passed out he could never pay back what he had stolen and he had placed several illegal charms on Harry, his mind packed up and his world went black. It was a shame really as no one took noticed. As soon as Harry had finished his oath and did some more sparks Amelia was in a rage calling for Aurors to go arrest the people of number 4 Privet drive, to get to the goblins and see who and what had been done to Harry inheritance and to let them know that Harry wanted a full accounting. Harry decided to stick his Knut's worth in "Oh and let them know the person who tried to break into their vault when I was in my first year was Quirrell and that I killed him as he was possessed by Tom Marvollo Riddle also know as the heir of Slytherin and lord Voldemort. He was also hired by Dumbledore."
If Dumbledore was awake he could have asked for it to be rephrased shame really as now it sounded like Dumbledick had hired Quirrell to rob Gringotts. Oh well to bad (sigh)
Sirius was smiling and watching the fun, he was also not happy at the ease with which Harry had proved his innocence and considering his lack of power compared to Dumbledore this was not good. It didn't help with Harry also swearing that he had been abused...no Dumbledore had a lot of explaining to do.
…
Amelia's view.
Amelia smiled as Harry offered her a drink of tea and a biscuit. She couldn't believe the crap Dumbledore and fudge and Umbridge had been getting away with and she really really wanted to snog the hell out of Harry for making her day, no make that her decade. She was so glad she hadn't gone after Black like every instinct had told her to. If it weren't for Susan vouching for Harry and making that flue call she knew Black would have been kissed along with Harry. She stopped and began to think when had he became Harry instead of Mr Potter. Oh well back to watching and waiting as Fudge and Umbridge looked ready to… nope she was wrong they did up chuck, oh this just kept getting better. She froze as she felt a hand on her thigh and looked around.
" Madam Bones you looked a little lost don't worry." These simple words from Harry and his hand on her leg made up her mind she was going to snog him into next year, sod the age difference sod everything, he deserved it. And maybe with the debt he owed Susan she could make her and her niece's dreams come true. She smiled at him and placed her hand on his thigh it might have been a bit high but who cared certainly not Harry going by the reaction she noticed in his trousers and the way he went red. She smiled a bit more "No Mr Potter it seems you have an answer for most my problems (she winked at him), so I see no reason to worry I was just thinking." She never noticed her hand sliding up and down his thigh. "That you seem to have had a very different life than what was written about."
Harry seemed to have difficulty in answering her and she still hadn't noticed her hand. "Well Madam Bones I was wondering, isn't it deformation of character that Fudge and Umbitch... erm… Umbridge have been doing to me in the news or libel or slander. As I mean I do want my moneys worth out of this and the public has the right to know the truth. After all you never know when I might need a bit of cash to take someone out or to buy clothes that fit or even to do up my parents house." She felt him squeeze her leg and then noticed her hand. She felt her face go red like a teenager and went to remove her hand but Harry put his on top of hers and leant forward "I owe you for that set up trial and the way you stood up for me, so… maybe it fair I stand up for you." With that he winked at her and only then removed his hand from hers.
She really didn't need to be an Auror to understand that clue.
Sirius's view.
Sirius was smirking as he watched Amelia Bones feel up his Godson. Christ on a crutch he had the head Auror groping him, had made the headmaster the almighty Dumbledore pass out the minister of magic piss himself and the under-secretary of magic faint and get several years in his old cell or one near it he hoped.
To top it all off it wasn't even dinnertime. He smiled as he saw McGonagall go through several emotions with each revelation and took pity on her. He walked over and gave her a cup of tea and smiled.
"Seems a shame that the headmaster and you both taught transfiguration and yet couldn't spot Peter in his animagus form, I mean he was in your dorms all that time and unless it has changed he was properly in your class a few times as a test subject and as we all know transfiguration does not work on animagus as easily as it does on a real animal due to the persons magic fighting the transfiguration magic. He passed her a biscuit and went back to his seat. McGonagall flushed, tried to drink her tea.
Sirius thought to himself "Okay I do feel a bit bad for her but that bitch never helped Harry with Quirrell or with Umbitch. She even left Harry on Dursley's doorstep and never waited until the door was answered to make sure he was picked up and took inside . For crying out loud it was winter.
He spoke up "Amelia I am glad it wasn't Dumbledore who was Harry's Guardian, I mean by law he abandoned him on his first night in the muggle world on a doorstep. After all Professor McGonagall and Harry's aunt, from what Harry has told me, said he was found on the front door step at dinner time when the Dursley's finally woke up. I mean who in their right mind would dump a child in the middle of winter, one who can walk and crawl and then just go with out making sure he was taken care of. I mean as a responsible Guardian they should knock on the door and make sure the people are in and can take care of the child, also what would have happened if it came down foggy or rained, the child could have die from the cold."
He watched as McGonagall went even paler. "I mean what sort of person would do that to a child, I certainly wouldn't want them near any children after that. After all this person who picked Harry up, for Dumbledore I presume because that is who Hagrid said he was taking the child to, then abandoned him again. If he had knocked and checked on the child then he wouldn't have abandoned him. With Polyjuice and all the other ways to disguise yourself he could have visited him at any time if he was worried about retribution from the death eaters... oh sorry I seem to be digging a hole for Albus here." He watched as McGonagall fainted and smiled. Oh yea he still had it.
….
Harry's view
He smiled and thought "ha that will teach you to make nice to me only to stab me in back time and time again." He knew McGonagall had dropped him off he knew she had never checked on him and he knew that she had never helped him when he had asked for it. He smiled and went back to Amelia "Madam Bones do you think you can make sure that there are no bad spells on me I mean Dumbledore was the one who hired Voldemort, had Pettigrew running around the school also Severus Snape, Barty crouch junior, Oh and he had some weird memory from a diary sucking Ginny Weasley's soul out that Voldemort made running around as well." He smiled and got a naughty idea "Maybe at some time you could check my wand as well" then he winked at her.
He watched as she went red and smiled she asked him to stand up. She had one of the remaining Auror's prepared to cast the detection spells when Albus to many names Dumbledick came round. When he saw what they where about to do he tried to stop it. This not only made Amelia angry, as interrupting a cast was illegal and dangerous but it also made her think whose signature would be on any spell she found. She told the auror to continued as Black hit Dumbledore in the face with a handy book, knocking him back out Hermoine would have been shocked at sirius use of Hogwarts a history. She and her assistant carried on and as the last words where said McGonagall came around to a lot of cursing.
"His bloody core is blocked, he has 4 bloody tracking wards on him he has an evil presence in his scar and it looks like his scar was never properly treated, he also have got two illegal post wards on him, so that he was not receiving any post… and what the hell is this, he has traces of untreated crucio and imperio residue." To say Madam Bones and her assistant were unhappy was like saying politicians are not corrupt. (A massive understatement) McGonagall passed out again this time, her last thoughts were, she would kill bloody to many names Dumbledore.
Amelia turned to Harry and told him he would have to go with them as they needed to record all this before removing the spells and then would need help in removing the spells. Harry smiled and agreed. He then decided it was time for more of the obvious. He stood up and made another oath in which he named every person he saw at old Tommy's rebirth party. Amelia looked like the cat that got the cream and the canary. She had Malfoy, Fudge and Dumbledore by the short and curly's.
