Chapter 2
Judging Harry
Harry woke on Ron's bed looking and saw the whole Weasley family and Hermione staring at him, Harry got up and looked at them, then Hermione pulled him into a bone crushing hug, sucking his lungs out, then Mrs Weasley did the same and he started to breath again.
"What happened?" Harry asked looking at Hermione.
"You were out for two Hours, the Avada Kedarava curse nearly hit you but it scratched you on the shoulders, we were so worried, Happy Birthday, we'll give your presents at Dinner." Hermione replied.
"Thanks Herms." Harry smiled but Hermione was confused at the name Herms.
He walked upstairs and looked at the bed room he was going to sleep in, it pretty normal, all of the house was normal. Soon, Hermione, Ron, Fleur, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill and Charlie went the room.
"So what's been going on?" Harry said not looking at them, just because he arrived at the Weasleys house didn't mean he wasn't angry.
"Nothing." Ron said.
"What do you mean nothing?" Harry asked Ron angrily and the other winked. "What do you mean nothing, when I've gotten attacked by Death Eaters, having a bloody family and being excluded from my friends?" He asked trying to control his temper but it was too late, it was now over the charts.
"But-"
"But what?" Harry interrupted Hermione and she started to cry.
" Do you think I'm a baby." He continued not looking at them. "DON'T YOU THINK I HAVE THE DIGNITY TO DO WHATEVER I WANT."
"Harry what are you talking about." Hermione said still in tears while Ron started to hush her up.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT MISS HERMIONE JANE GRANGER," He shouted and she jumped along with the others. "THEY DON'T TRUST ME, THE AURORS DON'T TRUST ME, THE MINISTRY DON'T TRUST ME, THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX DON'T TRUST ME!"
"They trust with their-"
"NO THEY DON'T AND YOU KNOW IT GRANGER, FOR THE PASS TWO WEEKS THEY HAVE BEEN SNEAKING AROUND THE PLACE, SPYING ON ME, YOU WANT SOME NAMES, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME NAMES, REMUS LUPIN, TONKS, ALASTOR MOODY, SHAKLEBOT AND VOLDEMORT, THOSE PEOPLE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T TRUST ME."
"We care for you dearly mate." Ron patted Harry on the back leaving Hermione.
"Really, so what happened, tell me and I'll calm down."
"Well first, Percy he um, became the Minister for Magic."
"WHAT?" Harry bellowed which made it worser. " Was Rufus Scrimgeour killed by someone."
"How do you know?" Ginny asked.
"In my dreams."
"Tell us it." Fred said.
"Well, I was walking down a corridor, in the Riddle's House and a saw Voldemort(Harry watched as everyone except for Hermione and Fleur winked.) speaking to Wormtail and Barty Crouch Jr."
"Like that other dream?" asked Ron and Hermione shocked.
"Yeah, but this time, it was different, he asked Barty Crouch to kill the Minister for Magic and Wormtail to break into Azkaban and break out all the Death Eaters except for Lucius Malfoy, because he failed in bringing him the Prophecy," Harry said and the others thought for a minute. "And I'd be happy for them to kill Percy."
" Not funny Harry," Hermione said seeing a smirk on his face. "Isn't it Ron, Ron.?" Hermione looked at Ron who had a big smirk on his face and she looked around at everyone who also had big smirks on their faces.
" You're an accident prone Harry." Ron Laughed insanely. Harry joined but Hermione folded her arms.
"Hmph…Hmph, any way Harry what if we become Anamagiaus." Hermione smiled and Harry stopped laughing.
"Um, are you joking Hermione." Harry said.
"No."
"Listen, I don't want to be a animagi, I've learned things from the past and one thing I'm sure about is not being a animagi."
"Are you sure?" Hermione asked.
"I'm sure." Harry smiled and touched her, she felt cold and this was not a good sign, something went through his stomach, pain.
"Any way, dad is pretty sucked up about it."
"He says he'll just bring corruption to the Ministry." Ginny said.
" Hiz a bad influence to ze ministry, hiz father sayz." Fleur said for the first time.
" I don't trust him." Harry muttered.
"And he still doesn't trust dad and guess what, he fired him from the Ministry." Harry was shocked and so angry, he always hated Percy the least of the family but he never thought he'd go this far.
"Mum and espeacialy dad has been in tears for the past two weeks." Ginny said throwing a picture of Percy on the floor. Harry looked at the window and saw Mrs Weasley was in tears.
" The order still doesn't know the secret weapon Voldemort's using." Ron said looking at Hermione and she looked at him.
"Um…Bloody Hell!" Harry said angrily.
"What is it." Hermione asked him still looking at Harry.
"I, nothing." He lied, he saw a wolf in the bushes that looked like Fenrir Greyback, he looked at Bill who was just getting plain Hairy.
At Lunch time Harry got his birthday presents, Mr Weasley had given him a book called how to be an Auror, part 1. Hermione gave him some sweets including his favourite's, Bertie Botts every Flavoured Beans and chocolate Frogs, he ate the escaping chocolate frog and he took the card in it and it was Nicholas Flamel, he would open the others later and she also got him to his surprise a fire bolt millennium, the new edition of the fire bolt saga.
"Hermione, how did you get-"
"Just enjoy." Hermione smiled at him.
"You're the best Hermione, I love you." Harry smiled back at her and she blushed, he kissed her on the cheek.
" It cost about 250 galleons, 14 sickles and 12 knuts."
Ron gave him lots of sweets from the wizard shop, Honey dukes shop. Fred and George gave him lots of jokes from their shop. Mrs Weasley gave him membership card to the order as Ron, Hermione, Fred and George had one already. Harry was really surprised with Ginny as she did not give him any presents but a hug and a kiss. Harry was really surprised at Hermione's present, usually she would give him a book and some sweets but he never thought she would give him sweets and a broomstick. Harry looked at her.
Later on that day the Weasleys told Harry that they ordered a swimming pool so they went into the garden and he saw the pool, it was very wide filled with clear blue water. Harry and Ron stayed outside talking about the Horcruxes.
"The Locket is one, maybe the Snake but I'm not sure, lots of snakes talk parsletounge. But Nagini, he's a tricky one."
"There must be some sort of spell that tells if the object is full of Dark Magic." Ron said as Hermione came out, she naked, well she had her knickers and her bikini on, Harry and Ron was astounded at her. She climbed up the Diving board and did a back flip and dived into the water. Hermione jumped out of the Pool.
"Hermione, are you a model." Ron and Harry asked still shocked at what just happened.
"Or are you a swim suit model." Harry said, his mouth still opened.
"You could say that." Hermione smiled at them but her eyes were actually fixed on Harry.
She climbed the Diving board again and done another of her famous back flips and jumped into the water with a splash on Ron. Harry walked over to the pool and Hermione dragged him into the water.
"Hermione, no." Harry screamed laughing, he threw water on her and she did the same, they were having a water fight or more like a splash fight. Harry threw water at her but she dived under the water and back up and threw one at Harry and he eyes closed, tricking Hermione into thinking that he was dead.
"Harry, what have I done." Hermione cried and Ron looked up.
"Great, you killed him." She swam closer to Harry then Harry grabbed her and splashed water in her face. Hermione and Harry laughed.
In the evening Harry James Potter needed to go to the Ministry of Magic to obtain his Apparation test along with Ron. Harry stood in the fire place taking the Floo Powder from the pot Mrs Weasley gave him and speaking very clearly.
"The Ministry of Magic!" He yelled and went into a place passing lots of fire places. He landed in the ministry, it was a square room, a eagle was in in there pouring water into a fountain, he looked at a desk, it was full of pencils and paper, an old woman about the age of 40 was reading a magazine called quidditch for losers. Harry found this a bit insulting because he liked Quidditch very much.
"Hello." Harry said and the woman put down the book and opened a note book.
"Who are you." She said in a very dull boring voice.
"Harry James Potter." Harry said.
"What do you want." She asked checking her notebook for his name. She was a very slim witch who had red hair, spectacles and a black dress with pink fluffy slippers on her and her eyes were red.
"I need to get my Apparation license."
"Fifth floor, take the elevator, and on your right Mr Potter." The Lady said and Harry pressed the elevator button and waited for the door to open. He went inside and just saw Ron getting out of the fire place and waited for him. They pressed the fifth floor and they started to go down.
"Where were you?" asked Harry.
"I was getting an apple." Ron passed Harry an apple. "Hermione helped me through the holidays."
"Great." Harry bellowed; Ron looked at him.
"Why are you shouting."
"No, I was seeing if I have my voice." Harry said and Ron looked confused. Harry got out of the elevator followed by Ron and they opened the door on their right.
It was a dim lit room with five candles and a round table near them and there sat…
"Dolores Jane Umbridge!" Harry and Ron shouted and the woman smiled, it was indeed Dolores Umbridge, their former fifth year DADA Teacher.
"Yes, you haven't got the chance to fire me now, if you do, you'll get sent to Azkaban," She took out her wand waving it. Harry was shocked, so was Ron. They took a step away from Umbridge, she took a step closer. "Now be good boys and look at the circle in the middle. Harry looked at it but Ron looked more at Umbridge than the circle, Harry did not like looking at Umbridge's ugly toad like face. Umbridge then turned out the lights and the dark over took them, Ron screamed like a girl and Ran around in circles.
"Potter, you go first." Umbridge said in that sweet voice and Harry gulped. He tried to remember where the hoop was but he just couldn't stand laughing at Ron and listening to Umbridge's vile distraction saying things like, you were a little trouble maker Potter or I remembered when you broke several laws and made up Dumbledore's Army. Harry tried to block out all the distractions but it was no use. He took out his wand, he was going to cheat.
"X-raidiatous." He whispered and X-ray vision came out his wand, he started to search for it and finally found it. He apparated into the circle and the light came on.
"Do I not know you cheated, you can get a T for Troll and you're not getting your Apparation License."
"WHAT DO I DAMN CARE, YOU'RE A STUPID ASS," Harry roared and Ron stopped running around and screaming as Hermione came in.
"THE HELL I CARE UMBRIDGE, YOU'RE UGLY, YOU'RE FAT AND YOUR DAMN STUPID." Harry continued as he felt this surge of power to kill Dolores Umbridge in front of Ron and Hermione.
"I HATE YOU TO THE BONE, I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU SOMETIME THIS YEAR." He stormed out of the room furious and Hermione went to see him.
"What is it Harry?"
"I had no choice Hermione, she was annoying me and I just couldn't take it any more, so I cheated, and I failed the Apparation test, I got a T for troll and I just lost control, it was like I wanted to kill her." Harry said sad, Hermione patted him on the back.
"Don't worry Harry, I know how you feel, I sort off wanted to cheat when I was doing my OWL'S." She said.
"But that's different isn't it." Harry said and Hermione shook her head, she was right, O.W.L's were no different from Apparation tests, both of them were hard to learn and sometimes people would like to look at other peoples work but they couldn't. Harry kissed her on the cheek and held her hand.
"Thanks Herms." Harry said and Hermione lifted her hand of Harry's.
"Promise me something. Don't call me Herms." Harry looked at her, that was the most easiest thing in the world.
"I promise." He smiled and they hugged each other. Ron came out the time they were hugging and went green. He then walked over to them.
"Oi… people are looking at you." Harry and Hermione let go as they saw other people like Tonks watching.
"Watcha Harry, Happy Birthday, I'll be over tonight at 6 PM."
Harry asked Ron and Hermione for Privacy at dinner time after he ate he slice of cake and they went upstairs. Crookshanks leapt into Harry arms as he sat down and Harry stroked his fur.
"I called you for a reason, I broke up with Ginny." Hermione stood up for some reason then blushing, she sat back down.
" Why, you look so Happy together." Hermione said worriedly looking at Ron.
"I like her but, because of the war coming up ahead of us, I've had to let her go."
"Will you go back together?" Ron asked grabbing some Chocolate frogs.
"I don't know anymore, I think she only likes me for the famous me and not the other me, I don't like that, I like it when people treat me for me, not some lame famous rich scuzz bag, I'll decide at the end of the war." Harry said taking up a chocolate frog as well and stuffed it into his mouth, he found the card Godric Gryffindor and smiled at the old wizard with grey hair, blue shining eyes, a freaky beard and some black clothes.
"Got two of them." Ron said. Harry opened another one and ate the chocolate frog then looked up at his card, he was surprised to see his dad's face on it, he turned it around:
Best Quidditch seeker and captain in the universe and responsible for capturing 101.256 People in Azkaban.
"Oh, my god, your dad is famous, your lucky Harry." Ron said amazed, even Hermione felt a little bit amazed.
Harry didn't know his dad was an Auror, but there it was, the proof that Harry was actually like his father and Hermione like his mother, she was a muggle born like his mum, she was the smartest witch in her year like Lily Potter, maybe, just maybe, was Hermione the girl friend he was looking for.
Just then there was a knock at the door and Harry, Ron and Hermione went down to see, it was two Aurors they did not know. Mrs Weasley opened the door.
"Hello, how can I help you."
"Yes, can I see Mr Harry James Potty." The men laughed at Harry's surname and Harry came down along with Ron and Hermione. Then all of a sudden, they hand cuffed Harry.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Harry asked angrily.
"You have been convicted of killing the minister for magic, Rufus Scrimgeour and insulting Dolores Umbridge."
"It was for her own good, but I never killed the Minister." Harry said and winked at Hermione so she came to him.
"Get me the firebolt millennium." He said pretending to kiss Hermione on the cheek. "Good bye Ron, good bye Mrs Weasley, good bye Ginny, Good bye Tonks, Good bye Bill, Fleur, Lupin, Fred and George, I'll miss you." He said as He took the Firebolt Millennium from Hermione. Harry kicked the Aurors in the shins and jumped on his broomstick and flew off.
"Fly away Harry, Fly." Ron shouted as Harry raced through the skies, he decided to go to the Dursleys, why had Privet Drive have been invaded by Death Eaters? He thought, There's supposed to be a jinx protecting him there so how could there have been Death Eaters there and why did he keep thinking about Ginny and Hermione. Harry dived below the clouds and thought of Privet Drive, he apparated onto the Lawn, The Dursley were looking at him with disgust, Aunt Petunia folding her arms, Dudley smashing his palm, it was easy to see Dudley's girl friend, Marisa lying under the pile of broken damage of the house, it was completely gone. Uncle Vernon was going from red to yellow to purple in his face.
"HOW DARE YOU BOY, GET OFF MY LAWN AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!" Harry had had enough of uncle Vernon constantly ranting him every time and drew out his wand.
"I'm allowed to use magic now." Harry used the Jelly legs curse on all of the Dursleys slamming their legs together and making them wobble, next hand cuffs went around their legs and trapped them together, making it hard for them to move and they fell down. Harry next turned Uncle Vernon into a chicken, Dursley into a pig and Petunia into a cat.
"Lupin will come back and release you next month." He said taking a news paper and riding off on his broom.
Harry looked at the news letter, it read:
Death Eaters have taken over the muggle town, Little Windsor, in central London, some Aurors are not brave enough to make out alive. Turn to Page 26.
Too scared are they, this could be the only way I can clear my name, Harry thought and set off to central London to stop the Death Eaters from taking over the town.
In 3 Hours he found the town and dived down and landed in a dust bin, which was thankfully clean and empty. He peered around from in the Dust Bin. Two Death Eaters were beating up a skinny boy of the age of 14. Harry aimed his wand at them.
"Orchidious!" He shouted, before the Death Eaters could look around they flew and landed in the dust bin opposite Harry.
"Thanks man."
"No problem." Harry told the 14 year old boy. Harry leapt out of the Dust Bin and sneaked to the end of the Alley Way, there he saw a lots of Death Eaters torturing other people.
"Oblivious." Harry said knocking a Death Eater out he knew as Rookwood and he fell to the ground having no memory. The other Death Eaters looked at him and started firing at him. Harry ran ducking each spell with Protego and they fired back at the other Death Eaters. Harry hid behind a dust Bin then he heard Wingaurdiam Leviosa from nine people and it the removed the huge Dust bin to reveal.
"CRUCIO!" Harry yelled, a Death Eater ducked but it hit the Death Eater behind him. Harry ran into an Alley way and discovered there was a brick wall, his only escape.
"Impedimenta." Harry said and three bricks fell off, he kept on doing it. The Death Eaters were coming near, Harry heard their voices… Hurry up!… He urged himself…You can do it…. Harry was not going to finish in time.
"Avada Kedarava." Bellatrix Lestrange's voice said, and she aimed straight at Harry but he dodged and the brick wall blew into pieces and Harry ran through it but he only found another brick wall, his only choice was to fight the Death Eaters, he turned around as they stopped.
"Crucio!" They all yelled and a red beam came out of all their wands and they formed together and pushed Harry onto the ground, the pain that was in him was so unbearable, he couldn't make it stop. After two minutes Harry got back on his feet, he was having an heart attack.
"INCENDIO!"
"PROTEGO!"
The spells hit each other with such a combined force and the Death Eater, Rudolphus Lestrange and Harry forced the spells back to one another back and forth like Harry did with Voldemort In the graveyard, instead it was more intense.
Harry knew he could win this and he pushed the beam back, Rudolphus was winning, Harry looked at the wand on the floor that fell out of one of the Death Eaters wand on the floor, if he could only reach, he concentrated while still trying to force back the beam.
Accio Wand…
The wand came flying to his hand.
"SECTUMSEMPRA!" He yelled and he combined it to his wand and sure enough the beam hit Rudolphus with such force, he fell flying onto a roof top bleeding. He was going to pay for what his cut did to Harry and he was going to die.
"Rudolphus!"
"Incendio." Harry's spell hit Bellatrix and she fell onto the ground unconscious.
"Incareo Flamaure." Harry said and fire sprayed on the ground. Lots of Death Eaters got caught in the fire even Bellatrix Lestrange but some ran away. He jumped on the Dust Bin and onto the house Rudolphus was on. He was bleeding to hell.
"See ya if you see my God father, Dumbledore or my parents or you might as well go to Hell, you deserved it and guess what, I killed you wife.
"You…Didn't." Rudolphus said in and squeaky voice.
"Oh I did, and trust me, you will meet her in hell if you don't believe me."
"I…Hate…you…the…dark…lord…will…kill…you." He said with one last breath and died. Harry shook his head and left him there, then he watch Rudolphus crash into the building.
Harry looked at the six remaining Death Eaters. He aimed at the road.
"Crucio." Harry said and in broke the road in half but they pulled it back down with the carpe pretractum spell and ran off. Harry jumped off the building and looked at the brick wall.
"Crucio!" He yelled and the bricks fell down and then he saw a gate and started to climb it. Harry stood near the dark side so he wouldn't get caught. When a death Eater came, he tripped them over and took of the mask, it was the slim witch he saw at the desk counter in the Ministry for Magic. He handcuffed her with his wand and Harry and Harry faced the other five, they revealed their masks, Snape, Malfoy, Barty Crouch Jr and two other people he didn't know were standing in front of him.
"All of you, go, I have a score to settle with Potter." Crouch smiled and the others apparated. "Ready to Die Potter!"
"I thought they sucked your soul out." Harry spat angrily.
"They did, but they helped me escape from Azkaban." Barty said referring to the Dementors. They started using spell after spells on each other using non-verbal spells. At first it was just some jinxes then it began to get brutal, Harry was far more stronger than Barty Crouch, since he practised over the holidays and Harry was getting more brutal by the minute, they started causing massive explosions, the muggles watched as they battled each other and cheered on Harry. Barty used Crucio on Harry but he dodged it, he then aimed at Barty Crouch Jr.
"Crucio!" The spell missed Barty Crouch but hit a cat that was on a run from a dog. Barty Crouch started getting mad and muttered Crucio under his breath. Harry rolled away just in time and shot yellow sparks at Barty Crouch, Barty flicked them away and fired a massive green skull at Harry and he fell back. Harry felt pain in his scar for the first time in the summer holidays, Bartimius Crouch smiled evilly and laughed.
"You were so like your father, unless you count your eyes." Crouch held up his arm and showed the Dark Mark.
"How would you know?" asked Harry trying to distract Crouch so he could get to his wand.
"Because I saw them at Hogwarts, I was in Slytheirin and your father was in Gryffindor, I was another one of his enemies because I was once you mother's boy friend once and he didn't like it." Harry tried to reach for the wand and finally managed to grab it and aim it at Barty.
" Levicorpus!" Harry thought and Crouch was hanging upside down.
"GET ME DOWN POTTER!" Crouch yelled angrily.
"I'll do that when the Aurors find you." Harry smiled.
"I swear, when you get a girl friend, I'll break out of prison and kill her." Barty swung a punch at Harry but he dodged it and turned Barty Crouch into a gingerbread man with his wand.
Everyone cheered Harry suspicious of how he turned Barty Crouch into a Gingerbread Man. The Aurors and Weasleys and Hermione came soon enough. The Aurors erased the memories of the muggles up to the part where the Death Eater took over the town and they no longer cheered, the Aurors also turned back the Gingerbread Man into Barty Crouch and thanked Harry also saying that he was free to go and Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys cheered.
" Why do you have to be so damn heroic Harry." Hermione smiled and Harry looked at her, she had a great figure those beautiful chocolate brown eyes and the brown tied up hair all made Harry want to kiss her right at the spot but he knew Ron would never approve since he always had a big crush on Hermione, probably from fourth year. She was always there for him like in the TriWizard Tournament or when she was encouraging him to do the Dumbledore's Army club, but now he needed her as much as possible, he could never survive without her and as he turned back on he said.
"It's what I do!"
