Previously: For what they saw what could only be a knight of the old ways kneeling on the seal facing away from the teachers and towards the Doors of Hogwarts.

All they heard was a murmured "we are home."

Harry spun and stood at the gasp behind him. Before him stood the teachers of Hogwarts and Tonks was standing with them. As he looked at them various colors seemed to flicker over them and their wands. Most were a grayish blue color barring two. One was Albus who was an eye-bending array of colors that was worse then his fashion choices. The other was a black that all most seemed suck light into it. Looking up at the face of the one bearing this aura, Harry's blood started to burn

"You, Traitor! I'll kill you, Snape, you fucking asshole," Harry growled reaching for the sword as his side.

Dumbledore paled, as did the rest of the teachers. Once more the wands came up.

"Good sir, he is not a traitor. He is a redeemed soul. Professor Snape is a warrior on the side of Light" Dumbledore stated to the armored figure standing in front of him.

"Snape is a traitor and a torturer. He preys on the small and weak. He should be condemned not protected." Harry snarled. "He was one of the ones that helped the Death Eaters take your savior Harry Potter from his home."

At this, several of the wands pointing at Harry shifted slightly and were now pointed at Professor Snape, namely Professor McGonagall, Flitwick and Tonks. Tonks' hair started to flicker through a variety of colors as her emotions changed.

"I assure you, he did not. He was working to find our runaway"

"WHAT?" Harry screeched his anger reaching all new elevations.

I can help scrolled in front of Harry's vision

"How can you do that? That idiot thinks I ran away from my family," the word family was dripping this venom. "He seems willing to trust Snape the bastard"

Trust me! Harry could almost feel the grin in those words.

Albus became concerned as the suited figure started to mutter and grumble to himself.

"Good Sir, do you know where Harry Potter is? We must get him here, where he will be safe from harm."

Albus was rarely surprised but when the figure in front of him started to laugh really hard, he was dumbfounded and a little upset.

"I fail to see what is so funny," Albus huffed.

The suit spoke now with a different voice with laughter still ringing in the background. This voice was hard and unforgiving with a strange timbre to it that caused all to hear it to shiver.

"Safe? You call this hallowed school safe? When you employ sadists and frauds? When you let students be tortured under your very nose? When you allow dark objects to be brought into the school and used on or by the very students you are suppose to protect. Let's not forget the Basilisk, Hundreds of Dementors, Dragons, Death Eaters, and One Dark Lord! You have the courage to call this school Safe? I should not have left."

The teachers all stepped back from the armored figure as it started to glow brightly. The Armour then removed its sword from the sheath and placed it point down in front of him directly over the centre of the seal. When it let go, the sword slid straight down into a seam in the seal. When the hilt came to rest flush to the floor, the pommel stone started to pulse and then a flash of light momentarily blinded the teachers and Tonks.

When the teachers and Tonks could once more see, they were shocked to see that the suited figure was now only wearing the breastplate and leggings of the Armour, leaving his arms and hands free, and the helmet was melting away from sight to revealing first a familiar shaggy head of hair then the bruised and battered face of one now angry Harry Potter.

Harry's hair seemed to swirl from a phantom breeze. He kneeled down then grasping the hilt with a scarred hand, which started to glow an Avada Kedavra Green. Suddenly the teachers felt cold, very cold, and scared for they felt as if something big and powerful had been awakened and it was not in a good mood.

"Harry! Stop this at once! You are meddling in things, you don't understand!" Albus shouted.

Shortly after Dumbledore's shout, seven heads popped around the doorway from the Great Hall. One had waist-length dirty blonde hair, two of them had brown hair; one of which was very bushy; and the last four being red heads. They all gasped at the sight of Harry, encased in armor, and glowing brightly

Suddenly an image formed above and behind Harry:

#"Ah, yes," he said softly, "Harry Potter. Our new - celebrity."#

# "Or maybe," said a very cold voice, "he's waiting to hear why you two didn't arrive on the school train."#

# "How extraordinarily like your father you are, Potter," Snape said suddenly, his eyes glinting. "He too was exceedingly arrogant. A small amount of talent on the Quidditch field made him think he was a cut above the rest of us too. Strutting around the place with his friends and admirers ... The resemblance between you is uncanny."#

# "You might be laboring under the delusion that the entire wizarding world is impressed with you," Snape went on, so quietly that no one else could hear him, "but I don't care how many times your picture appears in the papers. To me, Potter, you are nothing but a nasty little boy who considers rules to be beneath him."#

#Tut, tut, I don't seem to have made an impression "Umbridge said smiling, " Well we'll have to try again tomorrow evening, won't we? You may go."#

# "Can you tell me something, sir?" said Harry, firing up again. "Why do you call Voldemort the Dark Lord, I've only ever heard Death Eaters call him that --,"
Snape opened his mouth in a snarl#

#A dark room formed on the image and two men enter. One of them casts Lumos and sudden the two figures were revealed to be none other then Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape.

"So does the muggle loving fool have any idea Potter is gone," Lucius asked.

"No he still thinks the boy is with his adoring family," Snape replied.

"Good, Good. Our lord will be pleased."

Snape turned to a figure lying in the corner "Time to awaken, Potter. Crucio!"#

The image faded just as screams of agony were heard.

All the teachers' wands, bar Albus' were now pointed at Snape.

"Come now, Harry you know Professor Snape could do nothing else bar that. He had to do it with Lucius there," Albus' eyes were shifting around the room looking at the students.

"Bloody hell. Dumbledore has lost it" Ron said quietly from the doorway

"Language, Ron. Even if I do think you're right," Hermione said.

"Headmaster, I demand you remove that Death Eater from this school immediately and hand him over to the proper authorities," Harry said in a commanding voice from his kneeling position, his hand still on the sword.

"Now see here. Harry you know I can't do that."

"Fine. If you won't, then I will." Then with a sudden hand motion of his free hand, Harry flung Snape sliding across the floor, to land against the bottom step of the grand-staircase with a wet snap and a screech of pain. With Snape dealt with for the moment Harry twisted the sword much like that of a key and the Great doors closed sealing tightly and wards that had not been activated in over thousand years sudden came into being. As this happened twelve identical suits of Armour, similar to the one Harry was wearing, but not as ornate and with no gems on them, strode into the room in formation and proceeded to advance on Snape.

"I will not have a student of Hogwarts attack or through his action harm a teacher. Stop this at once," Albus demanded.

"Fine, if you will not let a student harm a teacher. I QUIT! I'm sure I can find some tutors who would love to say they taught the Boy-Who-Lived. And I also know about my family fortune, so you can butt out there too you meddling old fool."

While Harry and Albus had been arguing the suits of armor had taken Snape into custody and placed bindings on him after taking both his wands. Tonks nodded at the professional manner in which the suits seemed to move; and wondered where had they come from when suddenly the other voice rang from Harry.

"Take him to the cells in the east dungeons. Await further orders." Five of the suits formed a circle around Snape and lead him off struggling in vain.

The other seven suits formed around Harry, who for a couple of seconds, looked nervous before nodding his head as if agreeing with someone.

In a commanding Voice, Harry shouted out:

"Hogwarts Carpe intra vires, libertas!"

Albus paled and almost fainted as the wards were ripped from him and connected to someone or something else. The angry feeling from before turned in to a feeling of smug satisfaction. Harry nodded and turned to walk away, the other seven suits following, to leave Hogwarts, muttering to himself about idiot old men and interfering old bats.

"Harry-kins! Wait!" Rang out from the students looking on from the door.

Harry smiled and turned back as his friends who were running over to him.

"Hi Hermione, Neville, Ron, Ginny, Luna." He did a double take at the other two redheads. "Forge? Gred? What are you doing here?"

"Mum threatened them so they decided to come back and take their NEWTS," Ron snickered.

"Well I can't stay, I've got to go. I got to find out what I am, and what I should do. And I can't do that here. I mean, look at them, all they see is their weapon against Tommy boy"

The group of students nodded understandingly

Hermione piped up "Yes, we saw that at the Order meetings where they grilled us on where you might have run off to"

"I agree. I also think that they got attacked by a swarm of Nurzlings" Luna stated.

The group stared at each other when at that moment a throat cleared behind them.

As the group turned, they saw Tonks standing behind them grinning madly. Harry noticed that his friends relaxed when they saw her. Behind Tonks, the other teachers were still in a state of semi panic.

"Wotcher Harry. Boy do you know how to make an entrance. Now what's this about an exit?"

"Well I can't stay here. I was going to go to one of my family estates to train and learn in a peaceful environment without death attempts and dumb ass Slytherins sabotaging my work."

"Okay when do we leave?"

"Huh, what's this 'we'?"

"Well I honestly don't think your friends are going to let you go off on one of your crazy adventures without them, except for Ginny who will have to stay here." This drew a swear word from Ginny that caused Hermione to blush and Ron and the Twins to look at Ginny with pride. "Sorry Ginny, but it is your OWLS year." And then turning towards Harry, "and I swore an Oath to Sirius that if anything happened to him, I would be there for you. That's why I took this job and why I'm coming with you."

"She's right. You can't come with us. You've got to stay here." Harry stated. "Sorry, Ginny. Anyway, you can tell us what's going on with the Order of the Flaming Penguins." This drew a small chuckle for the group. "Ok let's get out of here."

"Uhm Harry, you got this place locked up how are we going to get out," Hermione asked looking around.

"Trust me" Harry smiled mischievously. "Okay you got the location where we're headed." He paused as if reading something. "Good, let's go." With that the other suits grabbed a hold of the entire group and headed to the seal once more. The armor around Harry completely reformed and he placed his hand on the Gryffindor gems and the entire group vanished from sight to a shouts of "Harry! Wait!" Leaving behind a group of panicking teachers and one fuming redhead.
