Barbaric
A/N All thanks are to JK Rowling for creating the Harry Potter universe and everything to do with it.
Thank-you anyone that has reviewed, followed or has given my story a favourite; all support is really appreciated and I reply to every review, so if you want leave me a question!
Summary so far (SPOILERS): Harry is working for the Ministry but more importantly for Voldemort after Voldemort's resurrection in the Goblet of Fire book. Ron Weasley has attacked Harry and his plans are moving forward but for how long will they?
Thoughts & Parseltongue
"That will be all the questions for today" She announced "I have work to do and the boy needs to sleep. I will be speaking to the Headmaster about getting you resorted Harry. If he refuses I will be speaking to The Minister himself"
"Thank-you Professor" Harry smiled making sure the reporters heard
Harry was in Professor Umbridge's office for the rest of the day discussing specific teachers that she needed to make sure to keep an eye on. Professor Umbridge wanted to see Trelawney leave as her first sign of authority and to make sure that everyone understood her position in Hogwarts now. Everybody new that she couldn't do Divination to save her life and for some odd reason she still taught in Hogwarts anyway. Nobody saw the real reason behind Dumbledore's eyes.
Harry was quite curious to the punishment she gave Ron. He was forced to write with a Black Quill. The Black Quill is very dark magic and specifically used in torture as everything you write is carved onto the writer's hand. He had to write 'I shall not attack my fellow students'. Harry couldn't imagine it being in-graved as although it was a brutal act it wasn't as brutal as that the abuse he had received.
"How has Dumbledore responded to my transfer of house Professor?" Harry asked Umbridge
"I don't know Harry" She wondered "I can't imagine he would take it well"
"What could we do if he refuses?"
"I haven't really thought about it" She simply put "The best we could do is an Educational Decree, but I doubt it would come to that if I am honest"
Harry nodded and after a while talking about their plans they both walked down to Dinner. Everyone was already eating and he noticed Ron's glance as he entered the Hall. Harry forced the smile upon his face as he was the victor and he strode off to the Slytherin table without a second look. Although it wasn't very common for students of other houses' to sit at a different table, especially a Gryffindor at a Slytherin table, they all welcomed him as one of their own.
"Hi Harry" Pansy said as he sat beside her
"Hey guys, I am guessing you heard what happened" It wasn't a question
"Yep" laughed Blaise "You caused quite a stir if I may say"
"As long as that brat knows his place I think all should go well if I am honest"
"What's this about you moving house?" Draco asked looking at The Daily Prophet "Is it certain?"
"Not officially but I am sure that Dumbledore wouldn't dare to reject the claims of myself, Umbridge and the Minister for Magic himself" Harry started "If he refuses I don't know how much of a downfall this would have on both his reputation and his future on running the school"
"I know I don't do this often" Dumbledore said as everyone turned their faces "But I would just like to make an announcement"
"-Great" Crabbe interrupted
"By now most of you will know what has happened with Mr Potter and Mr Weasley in the dormitories the other night" He continued "I have been asked by the Minister himself to change Mr Potter's house for his own safety however I cannot allow such an event to take place"
The entire hall started to whisper and Dumbledore decided to wait a minute before continuing to let the message sink in.
"Are you kidding me?" Harry said almost shouting
"I know!" Pansy replied trying to calm him down "I can't believe they are going to let you and Weasel-face in the same house"
"It is terrible" Goyle said munching at a chicken leg
"Wait until my Father hears about this!" Draco exclaimed
"SILENCE" Announced Dumbledore suddenly "Now if you would allow me to finish"
The muttering in the hall started to quiet down and Dumbledore continued his speech.
"Many of you will be wondering why I made this decision but if you would allow me to continue I would like to explain some of my decision" Everyone was silent at this stage and so Dumbledore continued "It is for Mr Potter's benefit and his entire house for the Quidditch Cup" The hall started to uproar "Mr Potter will be having his own private living area within Gryffindor Tower where only he can enter"
Weasley stood up "Oi!" He shouted "If you think but I have done to Harry is bad, look at my hand!" he said waving his hand for all to see.
"It is barbaric!" Minerva McGonagall said
Umbridge was about to defend herself but Harry stood up "To question Professor Umbridge's practises' is to question the Ministry, and by extension, the Minister himself" He almost whimpered at the end in disgust.
"Mr Potter will you please take a seat" Dumbledore said "That is another matter"
Harry feeling discouraged sat down extremely irritated.
"I have never had to remove a student from his or her House nor during my stay at Hogwarts will I have to" He announced "Now – don't we all have a feast to enjoy?"
Nobody could settle down with the controversy that just happened. Dumbledore was extremely annoyed with the situations and how he had let it go so far. He needed to settle arguments between the pair so that they can become friends again in the chance that Voldemort came back and Dumbledore was unable to continue his work. He needed the pair on his side together but it seemed that Harry is most likely going through a rebellious teenage stage; he decided to let it go this once.
Whenever the feast had ended Harry decided that it was time to head up to his dormitories. He didn't want to do it but he was extremely tired either way. He said goodbye to his friends, who were reluctant to let him go alone, and headed straight to Gryffindor tower without any detours. He was about to step through the portrait when he could hear distinct voices talking.
"Sorry Ron" She said "I just can't kick Harry off the Quidditch team, he is the best player we have"
"I will do anything please Angelina" Ron replied
"What happened to you two anyway?" Angelina replied
"He is starting to hang out with Slytherins-"
"-Well in that case" She interrupted "He may let the other team win during the match. I will have to substitute him with someone else, but who-"
"Hi guys!" Harry said musically and then continued sarcastically "Thanks a lot for your support Angelina during this very troubling time that I am going through. Such a shame that you had to pick his side; I really enjoyed your company as well"
Harry headed towards the new dormitories he was given in the common room. He knew it was the right one because it distinctly said Harry on the top of it.
"-Wait Harry" She called but Harry kept walking and shut the door.
He took out his Marauders Map and started to stare at the names of people walking around the school. He could see the entirety of the different houses' heading to their part of the castle and he specifically saw the Headmaster pacing in the presence of Severus Snape. What could they be talking about? Harry thought; obviously something to with me.
He woke up in the morning to the quietest nights since the past few days. He had only been at Hogwarts for two days and already his entire house hates him. It felt brilliant; at least he was the most popular in one way. What was wrong with people these days, it wasn't his fault that he has a certain friendship with the Slytherin house.
He looked at the clock and saw it was quarter past seven; he liked getting up early because it avoided confrontations with other people. He got dressed and headed downstairs to the Great Hall which was relevantly quiet. There were a few people there that would start to get suspicious if he started to talk to Umbridge every day so instead he wrote a letter. When he wrote it he went to the Owlery and it read.
Professor Umbridge
Ron has just convinced Angelina to kick me out of the Quidditch team, perhaps we can use this?
Harry
He got an anonymous bird to send it, so that no one would be suspicious of Hedwig having sent it. The owl certainly took its time so Harry ran back to the Great Hall and was there just in time for the Professor reading it. She skimmed the text and then gave a brief nod to Harry. He had something to eat, before the others arrived at the Great Hall and he left to go to her office. She left shortly after not trying to draw suspicion.
He arrived at her office not long before she did and she brought him into her office.
"So Harry" she laughed "Two times in two days you have had to be here"
"Sorry about that Professor, I like you want this to be done as quickly as possible" He laughed with her "I am sure that we can start to bring Dumbledore down using this and The Daily Prophet"
After a minute of thinking she said "I have an idea"
