Harry stood in the court room where the Wizengamot were meeting at Madame Bones' insistence. She had explained to him that he did indeed arrive at the prior meeting, but since she had gotten a letter about his 'attendance' from the Goblins she thought it would be best to see who it was that was impersonating the Harry Potter. He just hoped that it wasn't anyone that he knew and trusted, that would just reinforce his choice of leaving and let the whole damn lot of them crumble in to the ground.
"I hereby call this, the 657th meeting of the Wizengamot, to attendance." Madame Bones spoke up from the head chair. Because of her position within the Ministry, she could act as the Head Mugwump until another had been voted for and sworn in, "We are here today because one who sits here today, isn't really who they claim to be." She explained, "This accusation has come from a very reliable source and we must find out about who has decided to risk themselves and why they did it."
Those Wizengamot twittered between each other, questioning about what it is that they had done and of course why they decided to do it in the first place. Being of false standing in the Wizengamot could get you 10 years in a minimum security cell at Azkaban for fraud.
Madame Bones drew her wand and within seconds, ropes were wrapped around 'Harry Potter'. The Wizengamot gasped and raved at the audacity of Madame Bones tying up their saviour, "Harry Potter, should that be your true name, charges have been brought against you."
"May I ask what for?" He asked.
Harry walked out from the shadows and entered the middle of the meeting circle drawing gasps from the Wizengamot and 'Harry Potter'. "I am Harry James Potter." He said loudly and clearly, "That person sitting there is an imposter. I never received a letter from the Wizengamot about the meeting for the rights of half breeds. And as most of you should know is that my Godson is of the two natured kind, so I ask you, did 'I' say yes to locking them up and killing them, or did 'I' say no?" He asked, "Think carefully as I know I would have told you to all get stuffed and lit the proposition on fire for even thinking of wanting to lock up my Godson and many others."
"How dare you." 'Harry' snapped, "I am the real Harry Potter and I am sick of other people trying to get me to do something that others wish."
Harry stepped forward and handed Madame Bones a potion, "This is from the Goblins, it will cancel every spell and potion that they have used to look like me." He explained, "So if you would please, I want this handled swiftly and then we will take care of the matter of the two natured." He hissed causing some of the Wizengamot to wince.
Madame Bones walked over to 'Harry' and with her wand forced his mouth opened and tipped the contents of the vial down the imposters throat and sat back to watch it counter whatever spells and potions the person had taken to look like Harry.
The whole of the Wizengamot and the real Harry watched as black hair turned grey, a skinny frame turned portly, the robes stretching over the fat belly as he transformed, skin turning from pale to slightly pinker. No one could believe who it was that was sitting in the chair of Harry Potter, someone that the Wizarding world had once trusted had used the image of Harry Potter to implement things that the real Harry Potter would never agree too.
"I should have known." Harry snarled, his wand in his hand and at the ready, sparks shooting out of the tip.
Madame Bones raised her hands in a placating manner, "Please calm down Lord Potter. This matter will be taken care of swiftly and privately here in the Wizengamot." She explained.
"Fine, but if I hear that this is in the papers before the matter has been solved I will not be impressed." Harry responded, "Now as for the bill of half breeds?"
"The matter was decided at 15 in favour and 12 apposed." One of the Wizengamot spoke up with a superior tone to her voice.
Harry smirked, "Well then I guess that it's a good thing that I have not only the Potter seat but the Black, Dumbledore, Lestrange, Nott, Gryffindor and Slytherin seats as well then. Even if some of the families have fallen from their good graces, their chairs were not taken from them and now you cannot take them from me as you have no cause." He explained, "The bill will be thrown out and dismissed and once he has been punished there will be an apology and compensation for those half bloods as most of them now are in hiding and fearing for their lives and the lives of their children."
"Who the hell do you think you are boy?" Another snapped, "Never will you hold the seats of those that have disgraced the Wizarding world."
"Lord Dolohov should you not have your seat revoked because your brother, Antonin, is a Death Eater?" He questioned.
"That was never proven." Lord Dolohov snarled, his face turning a beet colour.
Harry raised an eyebrow, "Really, I seem to remember showing the Minister evidence of such involvement, along with corresponding memories from others as proof." He responded calmly, "What other bills have been passed since 'I' have been here?" He asked. Everything had to be set right, the right votes had to be taken, the right bills passed.
A list of bills that had been passed with his votes was handed over to Harry and the teen calmly looked through them, sometimes his face darkening other times his face softening with some of the bills, "These will have to be taken care of before I travel for a while." He explained, "I wish to see a little bit of the world and decided what I want to do with my life. So everyone, call whoever you need too because we will be here until this mess has been fixed."
Harry let out a groan of satisfaction as he flopped down on the bed of Grimmauld Place. Teddy, Ron and George were all sleeping peacefully as it was quite late when he came in and it had been nearly a week since he had been home. The negotiations of the new bills and old ones that were passed had taken a lot longer than anyone had thought and could have probably taken longer if Harry didn't tell them where to stick it with accompanying words from Madame Bones. Come morning he could greet Teddy with a hug and a cuddle and then the four of them would be heading out to the airport and across The Pond.
"You're back mate." Ron said from the door way, his hair tousled from sleep.
"Yeah, what you doing up?" Harry questioned, rolling onto his side so he could look at his friend.
"Midnight snack." Ron responded with a smile, "You home for good now?" He asked.
"Yeah, everything has been taken care of and the one to impersonate me is in Azkaban." Harry explained with a tired smile.
"Right then, you get some sleep mate and we'll see ya in the morning." Ron said and pulled Harry's bedroom door shut behind him.
Harry sighed and climbed off of the bed and headed into the bathroom for a long over due shower and changed into his pyjamas and climbed back into bed and in to a thankfully dreamless sleep.
Ron and George ducked the missile of oatmeal that was thrown at them. Teddy had a beaters aim when it came to food that he didn't want to eat, and the fact that it wasn't Harry feeding him now that the other had come home he was even more determined to make a mess of things.
"Come on Teddy, give us a break." Ron whined as some oatmeal skimmed over the top of his head leaving little pieces of oat behind in the red locks.
"How the hell can he know that Harry is home when we haven't said anything about him being home?" George hissed.
"How do I know?" Ron snapped back at his brother.
"Uh, what's going on?" Harry questioned as he entered the kitchen and saw clumps of oatmeal sticking against the cupboards and walls.
Teddy let out a squeal and another handful oatmeal landed on Harry's face, putting his glasses askew, "Hi Teddy." He sighed and pulled off his glasses to give them a clean, "Did you behave for your uncles Ron and George?" He asked picking up the squirming toddler.
"It was fine until he woke up this morning." Ron grumped, "It's like he knew that you were home without even seeing you." He explained.
Harry laughed, "That's my boy." He said giving the toddler a kiss on his messy cheek.
"So what are we going to do now?" George asked, "Everything being fixed up and all."
"I'm still going to go across The Pond, I had decided that before the whole debacle with the Ministry. Their stupidity just cemented it." Harry explained, "So it's up to the pair of you as to what you wish to do."
"Well you can't very well go on your own now can you." George spoke up, "You'll get into trouble without us to help you out."
Harry snorted, "It's usually the pair of you that gets me into trouble, not the other way around." He responded, "Now I'm going to get Teddy cleaned up and then start packing. Gringotts should have everything ready and will be sent over soon." He said leaving the kitchen for the bathroom to get Teddy cleaned up.
"So what do you think brother mine?" George asked.
"I think that we should go with him. Merlin knows that mum won't be so forgiving." Ron responded, "We both know that mum only had a tolerance for Remus because of Dumbledore."
"Right." George agreed, "She can't even look at Bill when he comes to visit and don't get me started on Fleur."
Ron nodded his head in agreement, "Then I guess that we're off to America." He said and walked out of the kitchen and for his room to finish his packing with George following closely behind him.
