'Harry writings'
Harry Potter was once again in the hospital wing. He was staring blankly at the wall. Ron and Hermione left a while ago leaving him alone except for madam Pomfrey. They had been trying to tell him that Cedric's death wasn't his fault and that not talking wouldn't help him. They failed to realize that thanks to one of the spells Voldemort hit him with he was unable to talk. He was interrupted from his staring when professor Mcgonagall entered the infirmary. She walked over to him.
"Good afternoon Mr. Potter. How are you feeling?"
Harry grabbed the notebook next to him and wrote out a response. 'I'm fine.'
"Don't lie to me." Harry raised an eyebrow. "I want to know the truth."
'I'm fine.' He wrote before he put the notebook back then pretended to go asleep.
"Minerva?"
The transfiguration professor turned towards the medi-witch. "Oh hello Poppy."
"Can you come to my office real quick?"
"Sure." She followed her friend to the office.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." She was a little surprised she had shut the door. "So what did you need to talk to me about?"
"Here." She handed him a paper. "Read this?"
"Okay." Minerva grabbed the paper and read it. "Dear Merlin!" She gasped out in horror.
Slave Contract:
Owner: Albus Dumbledore
Slave: Harry Potter
"A slave contract between Harry and Albus!"
"Yes. I looked it up and they had fallen out of practice but are still legal."
"I can't believe it."
"Me neither. It had been on top of his desk when I went to go talk to him. I was more shocked by the Guardian signature and the witnesses."
"What?" She looked at that section and she could see why Poppy had been so shocked. "Sirius signed this as the guardian!?"
"Apparently."
"I...why the hell would he do that!? Why would Remus, Arthur, and Molly sign as the witnesses!?"
"I have no idea. Harry looked so betrayed when I told him earlier."
"That explained his behavior."
"Yes it does."
"So what can we do?"
"Well Harry did bring up some good points when we were discussing it."
"What were they?"
"At this point in time it can't be filed since Sirius Black is a wanted criminal, correct?"
Minerva smiled. "Yes. That is indeed correct."
"Harry pointed out that even if we throw this away or destroy it they will just make a new one. So our only option into stop it before they have Sirius declared innocent so that it can be fired. "
Minerva cursed. "We have been discussing a plan to do so."
Poppy just smirked. "Since Mr. Potter is an orphan with no magical relatives who is his magical guardian?"
"I am." She was starting to see where this was going.
"At this moment this can't be filed without your signature in the guardian section."
Minerva smirked. "That's true."
"Don't you have that friend that works at the ministry in the adoption department?"
Minerva laughed. "Indeed. He can help me adopt Harry and then we can leave Britain."
"No we are adopting him." Poppy said. "I love you Minerva and you know it. Plus Harry is already like my son."
Minerva blushed. "I was hoping you would say that."
Poppy kissed her. "Let's go tell Harry and then tomorrow we can make him our son."
"Okay."
The two exited the office and went over to Harry. He was already sitting up and looking at him. He waited patiently to see if she had agreed to their plan. He was a little nervous that she said no or that she was on Dumbledore's side.
"Poppy informed me of what was going on." Minerva said. "Tomorrow Poppy and I will go see my friend and adopt you as our son."
Harry teared up and grabbed the notebook. 'Really?'
"Yes really."
'Thank you.'
Minerva hugged him tightly. "Of course. Will figure out where will go after it is official."
Poppy joined in on the hug. "Get some rest." She whispered before her and Minerva released him. "I'll be in my office if you need me." She kissed Harry's forehead before kissing Minerva once more then left.
"I'll see you tomorrow." She kissed his forehead too.
'Okay. Night.'
"Goodnight Harry." She left.
