Harry Potter and the power of love Chapter 3
I still own nothing and my imagination has run of with my invisible friend.
The next day was no were near as exiting but he did enjoy learning a little about wines and grapes. The more interesting stuff happened that night.
Harry was about ready for bed when he heard the door go a little while later Maxwell the Delacours house elf announced that the Queen of the Veela and her entourage were here and requesting time with Mr Potter. Harry "OKed" it and the Queen came in she looked a lot younger than before and Harry had to do a double take to make sure it was the same women.
She bowed to him and smiled "An unforeseen side effect seems to be that with out some much weight to carry we have become some what younger looking ."
Harry smiled and nodded. Alfonso could not believe it the Veela seemed to be more controlled than any he had met before and with his with and children's head bowed he supposed this was about the most important person he had ever had in the house.
The old Queen looked at Harry then Mr Delacour "Sir may I have a seat?"
Mr Delacour nodded and tried to regroup his brain but was not having much luck. The queen took a seat next to Harry reached out and took his hand in hers, turned it palm up and looked hard.
A single tear rolled down her face and she spoke in rapid French to her guards. The Delacours were horrified by what the Queen had said and if it was true then heads may well roll.
She turned Harry's hand over and gave it a gentile kiss "So mon cher tell me about yourself as I see we shall be friends for many years to come?"
Harry thought for a moment then smiled "My life is not fun filled like the story books say if anything I would say other than the odd day it is a living nightmare."
He smiled to himself maybe with a Veela Queen on his side he would finally be able to stay at a friends house over the holidays.
The Adults gasped at this revelation, The Queen kept her smile on and nodded for him to continue but if any one who raised their heads looked they would seen her eyes set like flint.
He spoke of the Dursley family and the Weasly family of his Godfather and Dumbledore. He spoke of his 1st 2nd and 3rd year at Hogwarts and all the things he had learnt.
The Queen was shocked this was not normal this was not how a school should be run. He spoke of the Goblet and he spoke of his puzzle about Ron.
Alfonso was the first to speak "Harry do you think you could get your Godfather here I have some pull with the French ministry we might be able to get him a retrial and tested under the truth drug."
Harry looked at him and shook his head "To have a retrial would mean he would have to have a trial first they never gave him one"
Alfonso stood up and went to the floo after bowing to the Queen. He spoke into it rapidly for a short time and just said "wait"
Harry had no idea what was going on and as he felt a little tired started to doze still holding the Queens hand.
He was awoken when he heard a French expletive he recognised and shook the sleep from himself the adults all seemed to be in an uproar.
Alfonso seeing Harry awake apologised and said he had managed to get the transcripts concerning Black all one page of them. "Harry you must tell Your Godfather to get to a French embassy as soon as possible were he will be sent to France or here to my house if he would prefer. Tell him not to trust Dumbledore or any one but you in this matter"
Harry nodded and sent out a silent call for Hedwig he felt it answered and smiled. "My Owl will be here as soon as she can. She can take him a message."
They all looked at him.
"Harry" spoke up Fleur "she could not make it it is " she stopped there was a tapping at the window Harry got up and opened it Hedwig hopped onto his arm and nudged his head till he started to fuss her cooing to her all the time.
"Every one this is Hedwig my owl she is the smartest most beautiful owl ever, aren't you girl"
The Veela Queen took one look at Hedwig and bowed .The Delacours were in shock what was going on. They were even more stunned when Hedwig stopped her fussing of Harry and bowed to the Queen.
Harry looked on and smiled "See I told you she was smart and now to write a note to Sirius and let him know." He looked around "um Mr Delacour is there somewhere I could write my Godfather a note? and tell him what's what"
Alfonso pointed to a bureau in the corner "There is parchment and quills in there but please do not use any with a coat of arms on the top as they are for diplomatic or official letters only."
Harry nodded and went to the bureau and soon had a bit of parchment and a quill out.
The Delacour family and the Veela that came with her all looked at the Queen "If it is not to impermanent why did you bow to an owl?"
The question came from one of the older women in the group but all wanted to ask.
"That is no normal owl." The queen smiled "it is not just the speed in which she got here but also the fact she heard his call from across the sea. Veela are a myth to many same as Dragons Harpy's and many other things. As well know some myths have truth in them they are just things the non mags remember and pass along. There is a myth a legend about a man who killed a Medusa he was aided by the very gods themselves it is said." she took a breath and a sip of wine some one had put in-front of her " I know it could be based on some things happening and the hero could be a young wizard. He was given a shield a sword and a Helmet of invisibility"
"Perseus" Gabrielle spoke up your on about Perseus"
The Queen smiled and nodded "Indeed I am. Do you remember what He was given?"
Gabrielle thought hard "OK he had a sword of Adamantine that could cleave through anything. Another gave him the helmet but I think he he he " she turned to Harry and Hedwig.
Hedwigs head swung round and she winked at her then she turned back and nuzzled Harry.
"He lost the Helmet and another Goddess sent him her Owl Booboo or."
Hedwig suddenly made a noise as Harry tied the parchment to her leg and took off " Bubu bubu "
Harry laughed "I am sure one of these days she going say goodbye" he turned to the stunned room and looked around while drawing his wand, seeing no hostile's behind him he shrugged and went back to the table and sat next to the Queen.
Harry I have a Penseive it allows people to view another's memory's as you are tired do you think you could put some of yours into it then you could sleep while we watched them. You need not worry they can not be messed with and you will not loose them it sort of records them from your brain and then replays then a bit like a muggle video recorder."
harry nodded and was soon filling glass jars with strands of silver each jar represented 6 months of his life sleeping bathing and using the toilet were not included nor was eating drinking. It took him a while and then he went to a coach and laid down to sleep saying "it be easier to wake him here than upstairs if they had any questions."
It was many hours later and a very shocked group many with tears in their eyes that woke him up.
"Hi pup time to get up"
Harry shook himself and felt for his glasses a hand pressed them into his and soon Sirius face came into view. Harry pinched his arm found he was awake and wrapped his arms around his Godfathers neck he tried to talk but he was to busy crying.
When he finally got himself under control he pushed Sirius away and looked about Hedwig was near his head he reached up and called he all the loving names he could think of and a quick search brought out some of her favourite owl treats.
"So Pup guess what?"
Harry decided to have fun with the man in-front of him. "You got kissed by 100 Veela's who found you irresistible?"
Sirius laughed "nope but I wish,try again"
"oh you should try it Sirius it really is very good. OK let me think hmm, You met a Queen and fell asleep on her lap?"
Sirius laughed again "Right that an every day sort of thing for you isn't it.?"
The Queen of the Veela spoke up a twinkle in her eyes "Mr Black I don't think we ever got around to a proper introduction my name is 'Queen Maxine of the Veela nation and young Mr Potter has indeed fell asleep on me. He also spent most of yesterday kissing Veela but I think he under estimated the numbers I seem to remember counting 148 not 100 ."
Sirius looked at harry who was rubbing his knuckles onto his top then blowing on them with a smug grin.
"OK Harry good one now."
Mr Black I swear to you this is indeed the Queen of the Veela nation."
Sirius turned and looked as the old women held up her staff of office and saw her ring for the first time. As a Pureblood he recognised it straight away. He felt giddy "148 Veela "
They nodded his world came tumbling down on him he sank to his knees and then to the amazement off all but Harry he held his arms above his head and started to bow up and down saying " I am not worthy I am not worthy."Harry laughed and said " Would you like to be my Disciple old one?"
Sirius just nodded and "Yes please I was supposed to tell you about women and the birds and bees but no were ever do I think it mentioned 148 Veela . Please oh master teach me about the way of women."
Harry smiled and said he would much to the amusement of many in the room.
"So as no Veela then I suppose you been tasting fine wines or maybe you have been oh I don't know dodging the great betrayer Dumbledore."Sirius noticed the venom in Harry's words when he said Dumbledore.
"Harry he is a great man." he was cut of as Mr Delacour spoke.
"Mr Black Mr Dumbledore knew you were innocent he also knew many other things that he kept from Harry. For example did you know Harry never heard his parents will? Or That Dumbledore was the one who said stick you in Azkaban ?"
This time Sirius was the one to looked stunned and very upset he ground out one word through clenched teeth "What!"
"We ,with Harry's permission have looked over his life. We found a great many discrepancy's .For example Harry is related to Godric Gryffindor . This is born out by how he pulled Godric sword a sword I might add that is legendary or a myth as no one has seen it in over 900 years . When he became 11 he was shown to a trust vault , as a pureblood you know as the last surviving family member he his rated as head of house and should have gone to a family vault. It is also worthy of note that Hagrid through Dumbledore had the key. This is not possible as head of house his vaults would be blood warded. For example his trust vault was 711 and the philosophers stone was in 713. We find it strange that a Vault 11 years old has something a few days old only 2 vaults away."
Sirius growled Harry's trust vault was number 125 his family vault is number 56 I should know I set his trust vault up and visited his family vault more than once. Dumbledore must have opened both and had Harry made acceptable for vault 711."
"That is what we think as well " Spoke up the Veela queen. There is also the Weasly family they have multiple children at the school but Molly Weasly still felt the need to say in a loud enough voice so Harry could here 'what platform is it again?' we have checked The Hogwarts Express has never been from any other platform she herself must have used it many times as she went to Hogwarts and also her older children must have used it.
Sirius was not happy "A set up he set Harry up"
"Ron is a reasonable chess player one of the traps to protect the stone was a chess set. Harry was made a seeker even though he had no training and no knowledge of a dangerous sport. Another one of the traps was a flying golden key. His other friend Hermoine is clever but a bit in your face, If that is the correct expression? She told him about devils snare from Herbology but we checked his memory of all them lessons it was never mentioned. They had already defeated a Troll yet that was another trap. Do we need carry on?"
Sirius shook his head "nope they suckered him and will pay for it."
" I am sorry but it gets worse it seems both Madam Maxine and Karkoff wanted it to be called a draw and then relight the Goblet Dumbledore would not let them stating this way they could keep their eyes open for who ever put Harry's name in the Goblet and to cancel it may make them act irrationally" Mr Delacour took a breath ."harry never received any reward bar some house points for stopping 'He who not be named' from getting the stone and being nearly immortal. Again with Ginny Weasly he got house point from stopping what looks like a soul trap from killing Miss Weasly and making 'He who must not be named' whole again. He Also never got to clear Mr Hagrid of a false crime or collect the bounty for killing the Basilisk. It will not surprise you that Dumbledore lent one of Harry's friends a time turner a grade 1 prohibited item to study with."
A new voice spoke up and Sirius saw a pretty young women and a older man standing near the door .
"Is this my client ?Mr Delacour"
"Reginald so good of you to rush over yes this is Mr Black and I think Mr Potter might also be one as well."
Introductions were soon made it seemed Reginald was Mr Delacours Lawyer based in England and also in the French ministry. He had heard of Mr Black of course and sat and watched the pertinent Memory's of Harry and Sirius.
He stood shook his head and went to the floo a few minutes later another man entered he immediately upon seeing the Queen bowed and bid her a good day.
"Harry this is the Minister of France and I think he should see and hear all this."
After yet another showing Harry whispered to the Queen" NO wonder they never get anything done al they do is flog a dead horse" The queen broke into a smile and agreed with him then ruffled his hair.
The French minister invited more people and Harry fell asleep head on the lap of the Queen of the Veela as she stroked his hair.
A shout some time later woke him he looked about and noticed Sirius dancing around.
"You get kissed by a Veela or a ice cube in your pants?"
Sirius looked at Harry and smiled "neither you sex god I got a pardon and also an all points out for a certain rat."
"It seems Dumbledore has not told us a great many things. I for one will want answers."
Harry looked around and saw a stern looking women with a monocle in one eye with an Auror on each side of her. Harry shook his head and concentrated "Are you related to Hannah Abbot or Susan Bones? I seem to recall your face from somewhere associated with them two."
"I am Amelia Bones I have been sent by my boss Rufus Scimgeour at the request of the French embassy. To say I am shocked would be an understatement and I don't know if we dare give Dumbledore any more rope to hang himself with. I have cleared Sirius name and also will start an investigation into you trial and were the hell them Dementors came from. I have to leave now but I have left a memory of this meeting here as have my two Guards. We have to go good luck Harry,Mr Black"
