Night of the Fae Chapter 3

Hermione opened her eyes to unfamiliar surroundings and found herself in a slight panic. She finally turned her head and saw Harry lying beside her before a smile formed on her lips. She snuggled a little closer to him and then wondered what time it was. She reached her hand out to where her wand was on Harry's night stand. She fumbled around until a woman's voice stated "I am surprised the wand you are with is not enough."

Hermione looked out and found Professor McGonagall looking back at her. Hermione closed the curtain quickly and began dressing "Give me a moment Professor."

Hermione's thoughts were jumbled as she finished putting her pajama top on and rolled out of the bed. "This isn't what…"

The professor asked "You mean I didn't just find you in Mr. Potter's bed?"

Hermione blushed "Well yes but we didn't you know ..." The Professor arched her eyebrow. Hermione sighed and set down on Harry's dresser "Sorry I guess it is kind of obvious what we were doing." Hermione looked up and into her eyes "Harry and I are finally together and I have no intention of giving him up."

Professor looked at her "This Hermione is the one I have come to accept as she is direct and knows what she wants. That being said you should not have to sleep with your wizard to keep his interest in you."

Hermione smiled "If I thought for a minute that was the only reason I wouldn't be with him. I am still virgin and Harry helps me to stay that way."

Professor McGonagall seemed confused "But the way I found you suggests otherwise."

Hermione chuckled "We played a little but didn't take it to completion. I trust Harry to respect my wishes. He wouldn't hurt me."

Professor McGonagall grinned "I am glad things haven't gone too far and I think you should see madam Pomfrey for a potion… just in case."

Hermione blushed "I already have. What is going to happen now?"

The professor smiled "You are going to hurry to your dorm and get ready for your day." The professor stopped at the door "You are going to promise me not to let me catch you like this again."

Hermione stepped by her "If I have my way I shall be exactly where you found me every night for the rest of my life."

The professor laughed back "Yes, I know but don't let me catch you."

Harry came to breakfast thirty minutes later. Professor McGonagall saw him and made her way over to him. Harry, without looking up stated "I heard you and Hermione this morning and no, I… we promise to be careful. I wouldn't hurt Hermione for anything."

The professor with a smirk added "This is a very one-sided conversation Potter. Do you think next time you might at least consider letting me do my job?"

Harry chuckled "Oh, if I must Professor."

"Potter you are ever so kind." The professor said with plenty of sarcasm. The professor then looked around "Where is Hermione?

Harry finished building the second bacon sandwich "We divided our work load and she is at the library while I came to the hall to retrieve our breakfast. We have a lot to study today."

The professor stated as she walked away "Do not let anyone catch you with food in the library."

Harry grinned "Who said we are using the library?" the professor stopped and then quickly moved on.

Minerva sat by the headmaster as he said to her "I see that Mr, Potter is still here."

Minerva replied "Where else would he be?"

Albus stated back "He threatened to leave the grounds today when I saw him in the library yesterday."

"Well he is still here this morning." She retorted back.

Albus smiled "Do check upon him from time to time and let me know if he does try to leave."

Gringott's Bank – London – Present time

The goblin came back to the counter "Mr. Potter if you would follow me please Ragnok will see you now." Harry followed the goblin as he was led through a maze of hallways.

Harry asked as they were walking "Mr. Griphook if I were to expose what Dumbledore has done with my private correspondence, would that embarrass the goblins?"

Griphook thought for many seconds "I should think not because he used obscuring magic to fool the family blood spell detection element and without that we would have known of his deception. We were charged to get your mail from us to you at any cost."

Harry replied with a big smile "Excellent I don't want to make you look bad."

Harry spent the next three hours learning about his family, its' legacy, and why he felt his soul and magic react to Snape. He was three parts pissed and one part absolutely outraged at how he ended up at his aunt and uncle. By the time his parents will was read he knew why everything had happened to him.

He sent an owl to the Ministry and only waited a few minutes before the person he wanted entered Gringott's. The older woman looked quite flustered "Mr. Potter I am not used to being waylaid like this. This is a surprise to me."

Harry looked at her "Imagine how I felt when I learned I had a godmother?"

"I don't have any memory of your parents asking me or my acceptance of the responsibility." Amelia told him

The Goblin beside Harry stepped forward "Madam Bones my name is Griphook and I am the Potter Family account manager. Our mind healers believe your memories have been suppressed. If you read this card they believe you will regain your memories within the hour.

Amelia Bones the Head of the DMLE was spitting mails and venom as she rampaged through the Ministry and had Harry's Guardianship changed to her. When she returned to Gringott's she was still cursing up a storm.

Harry looked at her and smiled Now all we have to do is get past Dumbledore's Prison guards."

Amelia asked quickly "Hiu what? Show me who they are?"

Harry pointed to Arthur Weasley, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and Nymphadora Tonks.

Amelia smiled "Follow my lead Harry."

Kingsley looked up at the main door to Gringott's open and Harry Potter came out of it. He was very shocked to see him as he had been here to guard his entrance. He quickly caught Tonks and Arthur Weasley's attention. He motion for them to come to his location and he began to go up the steps to intercept Harry.

As he got within meters of him a voice he clearly recognizes shouts to him "Kingsley and Tonks stop what you are doing now." Amelia Bones told her two Aurors. Kingsley and Tonks both stopped and looked to her.

"Ma'am we were asked by the Chief Warlock to give protection to Mr. Potter." Kingsley stated.

Amelia responded by grabbing Arthur as he passed her to cut Harry off and try to escort him to where Kingsley and now Tonks stood with their boss. "Exactly what does the chief Warlock have to do with active Aurors assignments?"

Tonks responded "He is Harry's magical guardian."

Amelia unrolled a scroll and showed it to them "Correction, Albus Dumbledore is not and was only a temporary guardian until his parents will was read as this order from the Wizengmont clearly states. " Amelia let them stew on that and then unrolled another document "This is his parents will naming me his guardian after Sirius Black. I have been his legal guardian since his parent's death whether I knew of it or not. "

Kingsley, Arthur, and Tonks looked very unsure before Kingsley realized they were in a tight spot. "Ma'am I think we should take Harry and discuss this with Headmaster Dumbledore."

Amelia frowned "I don't think so. I will tell you that if I catch you or any other Auror, or anyone guarding or trying to detain Lord Potter again if an Auror and they do not have an assignment from me to do so, they will be fired. If not an Auror, they will be arrested. Do I make myself clear?"

All three stated quickly with wide eyes "Yes, perfectly understood."

Harry walked up "As you are members of the flaming chicken club of Albus's and he has lied to you, you don't know what the real truth is."

Tonks smiled before letting a small laugh escape her lips "The Flaming Chicken club?"

"My term for the Order of the Phoenix." Harry said with a grin. "I am off to the Daily Prophet for that exclusive interview."

Amelia looked at him "I don't know if that is wise but it is your decision.

That evening Harry walked into the main hall and sat beside Hermione. She hugged him quickly and with some relief "So, how did it go?"

Harry sighed and leaned into her embrace "That was a very long day but I got more accomplished than I had hoped." Harry leaned towards her "You will want to get the Daily Prophet tomorrow morning and I accepted my lordship."

Hermione's eyes widened "Really?"

Harry smiled "Really, really." Harry asked her "Any problems with our little plan here?"

Hermione smiled at him "You made two great bacon sandwiches at breakfast and had a conversation with Professor McGonagall and she didn't look for you the rest of the day,"

Hermione looked into his eyes "I sense you have more to tell me?"

Harry smiled at her "I do but it might be better if you learned of it the way everybody else is going to." Hermione frowned before Harry quickly added "I wanted to gauge everybody elses reaction by your reaction but only if you agree."

Hermione looked into his eyes for many moments as she chewed her lip "You know this will drive me crazy until I know everything."

Harry smirked "I promise to distract you all night or as much as you will let me."

Hermione let a small smile grow on her face "I will hold you to that Harry Potter." Harry leaned over and sealed it with a kiss which caused Hermione to cuddle into his side.

Harry and Hermione finished dinner and then went back to an unused classroom they had found to continue to study. Before they had realized it, it was five minutes until curfew and Hermione began to pack up quickly "Harry we only have five minutes to make it back to our dorms."

Harry stayed her hands and she looked up at him "Hermione remember the Professor said don't let her catch you in my bed again." Harry took his wand and began to twirl it and then added an incantation. A beautiful bed appeared in the center of the room. Harry smiled at her "If we aren't in my bed then she can't catch you in it."

Hermione dropped her book bag "You think your pretty smart don't you Harry?"

Harry grinned as he watched Hermione approach the bed. He put his wand away and removed his shirt as he walked towards her "I am not as smart as you but I try to make up for it by being better at other things."

Hermione smiled "What are you better at than me?"

Harry kissed her neck just below her ear as his hands began to wonder. Hermione let a soft little moan escape her lips "I am better at studying you and getting response from you."

An hour later Hermione was sprawled over Harry "Ok Potter I have to admit you are better at something than I am." Hermione said with a smile "You can consider me a willing test subject to become a master at that field of study." Harry chuckled and then they held each other tighter and fell asleep.

At breakfast the next morning the Headmaster seemed rather jovial and he saw the post owls enter as they gracefully swooped down to deliver their packages.

Minerva McGonagall had her Daily Prophet opened and the more she read, the angrier she became. She finished the article she stood up and slammed the paper down in front of Albus and then walked off in a huff. Albus was not ready for the ire from her. He curiously started to scan the paper for the cause of Minerva's ire.

His eyes set upon a headline Hogwart's Headmaster stops official postal mail from reaching Harry Potter for fifteen years read the small article and looked across the hall of students and saw hostile eyes looking at him.

Albus found the next headline 'Goblins investigate Albus Dumbledore's claim to be Harry Potter's magical guardian. IT IS FALSE!"

Upon request of Lord Harry Potter the claim that Albus Dumbledore was his magical guardian was found to be false. Further investigation found that his trust vault had money missing from it and tracking the withdrawls found that Albus Dumbldore had taken over five hundred thousand Galleons from Lord Harry Potter's trust vault over the years.

Lord Potter's Guardian was found when his parent's will which had been sealed in their family vault, unopened for over thirteen years and never requested by the Wizengmont's chief wizard, Albus Dumbledore. Upon being notified of her relation to Harry she ordered a full accounting of all Potter assets and accounts.

Upon the findings of the investigation she asked the Goblin nation to recover all stolen assets and found all but 100,000 thousand galleons had been placed in the Dumbledore family vault. The Goblins stripped the Dumbledore vaults clean and placed all assets in the Potter vaults as a penalty for theft. The Goblins also Banned Albus Dumbledore from stepping foot in the Goblin nation or any of its' property, upon pain of death.

Albus looked up to see that his staff and students were looking at him with hate and not adoration he had come to expect. Inside he was seething with rage. They didn't understand what he was doing to help them, that sacrifices had to be made for the greater good and to defeat the evil that was upon them.

Suddenly three owls landed in front of him. The first was from the Wizengmont which stripped of his Supreme Mugwump title and his chief Wizard title until an investigation could be completed.

The second letter was from the Goblins banning him from Goblin property. The third and last letter was from the Board of governors and he was relieved of his headmaster's duties and Minerva was appointed as headmistress to replace him. Albus had one hour to pack his things and vacate Hogwarts grounds. He suddenly felt the school wards shift away from him and transfer to Minerva.

Minerva entered from the headmaster's door to the hall with three miniature suit cases and handed them to him "Albus I have never been more disappointed in someone as I am in you. You took advantage of everyone and the worst part is you took advantage of a defenseless young man. I can never forgive you for that."

Albus stood up and placed the luggage in his pocket before he walked out the front door and off of the grounds. Many would think that this would humble any man to be exposed in such a way. Albus Dumbledore was made of a different cloth and in his mind he smiled "They will come crawling back to me and begging me to aid them when Voldemort make his presence known. They are such fools. Albus walked towards his Brothers house and Hogsmeade.
