Here's the next chapter hope you enjoy it. Please read and review thanks, love Moon x
Albus Dumbledore pounded the floor pacing aggressively in his office. Didn't the staff understand how devastated he was at the loss of Quirrel? I mean sure he'd been inhabited by Voldermort but there was no reason why he couldn't have been saved. I mean this was the problem with everyone of today. No one cared about the greater good or how morally wrong it was that someone died. It was not right to kill people willy nilly. Harry had saved Ron yes there was no denying that but he'd killed a man in the process and Dumbledore was unsure if that was forgivable. I mean it wasn't poor dear Quirinus' fault that he'd been inhabited by Voldermort. Why did no one ever seem to care about the man Quirrel had been? He would see to it that in some way Harry realised or learned that killing others was never the right choice no matter who inhabited them.
Voldermort needed to be dealt with personally but that didn't always have to mean killing an innocent person. I mean if it was up to him no one would ever use the killing curse as it was so harmful and besides which it destroyed lives. I mean there were definitely ways and means to destroy someone's life without needing to kill them. You could ruin them financially or in the press or something. Death was never the right idea. With the horcruxes all gone now you would think there was no more need to control Harry as the issue in itself was all gone however Dumbledork never thinks normally. He was very determined to find out why he kept being flung around like a rag doll every time he tried to look at Harry's mind. I mean he nearly always got as far as looking at and examining his occlumens shields before being thrown around like no one's business. He was determined to find out why, even if it did end up with him being hurt as no one's occlumency shields were normally this strong.
He would be holding a funeral for Professor Quirrel and he might decide to make attendance mandatory. No one should die unless it is for what he decides is the greater good and this was not for the greater good. What was he tell Professor Quirrel's ex - wife and family. They would want to know all about it and probably demand answers from him which he didn't have. I mean could he really explain that a mere child had killed their beloved Quirinus. Would they want retribution or not? Would he let them have vengeance as is the right thing to do once someone you love dies? Could he really bring that much chaos to a young child's life? If he was honest he had been surprised Harry had arrived without a bruise on him. The Dursleys were supposed to beat him into submission so he would to coin a muggle phrase come quietly. He realised that Voldermort was now annoyingly out of the picture and it was entirely Ron Weasley's fault that the stupid man had met his untimely demise.
I mean why was he never left to get the praise any longer? It had been his plan to have Harry slowly destroy all of the Horcruxes before he must die at the hands of Voldermort. After all it didn't matter that he knew the prophecy to be an utter farce. What was one life in return for saving millions of lives? I mean Harry was supposed to be expendable wasn't he. He was then supposed to sweep in casually destroying Voldermort and gaining the eternal praise he sought after. But no Ronald bloody Weasley had to intervene and now that bloody Holy Grail of all glory filled grails would never be his. Speaking of which why weren't they friends like he wanted. Ronald was useless at this and he'd have to intervene. He could tell Minerva to pair them up together in her class or having said that he could send for Harry and ask him himself about it.
The letter arrived in Harry's hand as he was heading out for breakfast. It read:
Harry Potter, if you could spare a moment of your time before breakfast for a chat I'd love it. By the way my favourite sweets are chocolate wands, Albu Dumbledore.
He agreed that not go now would only cause more problems he simply didn't need right now. He said the password entering his office as Dumbledore called out "Harry my boy come in please!" As Harry entered the office he took a seat in front of the desk. "Would you like a lemon drop?" he asked to which Harry responded "No thank you sir!" Dumbledore adjusted his spectacles before talking once again. "I am holding a funeral for Professor Quirrel tomorrow and as you killed him I expect you to attend. Obviously it's not your fault he's dead as he had Voldermort in the back of his head literally. Everyone must attend as he was a great teacher. Now moving on from that sombre subject how are your studies going?" he asked Harry who was shocked by what he had just said.
"Sir the man had Voldermort attached to his head so no I will not be attending this farce. He made a wrong decision and suffered the consequences of that decision. If one chooses to walk around with that cretin on the back of their heads willingly they deserve what comes to them. I would imagine you can't make anyone attend as everyone including me would leave this school which I know you don't want. As for my studies I am enjoying them very much sir!" he responded shocking his headmaster.
"This idea of killing everyone being alright makes me sick. This poor soul was inflicted and yes you are right I can't force anyone to go but I can say it would be good for them to do it morally that is. I am happy to hear about your studies going well. Tell me have you made any friends from any of the other houses?" he asked him while sucking on a fresh lemon drop. "Yes I have. Terry Boot from Ravenclaw is Lovely as is Draco Malfoy from Slytherin and of course Seamus Finnegan from Gryffindor is hilarious! Interhouse relationships are always good and should always be encouraged" he responded happily.
"Well that's good to hear for sure. Watch out for Draco Malfoy as he may be dangerous and try to steal things from you. Why are you not friends with Ronald Weasley?" he asked trying to be nice about it. "What? That imbecile? I wouldn't be friends with him if someone paid me to. I'd trust even you over him sir. Sorry but he's a disrespective loud mouth idiot. I would however not be opposed to being friends with his cool older twin brothers. I mean they're much better then he'll ever be and smarter as well. I know he's a bit of a loser sir but that does not mean I'll automatically be his friend. Anyway he is cranky and disrupts every class. Poor Professor Snape had to throw him out of class as he became so rowdy. Did you know he even broke a vial of Bat Spleens and a cauldron? That sir is not anyone respectable enough to have earned my friendship let alone my trust" he said acidly.
Dumbledore was shocked about all that he had said but then considered it seriously. I mean was it really a huge issue if he wasn't friends with Ron as long as he was friends with one of the Weasley's. This way he could still manipulate him while Harry was friends with someone he liked. "Well Harry I can see how that could be annoying. Well at least the Weasley twins are honourable people that you can be friends with yes. I hope for his own sake Ronald gets better as he won't get far in life with the attitude he currently holds. Thank you for meeting me my boy. Give Ronald a choice and should he turn you down then that's fine with me. It's just I worry so much about him with no friends" he said wiping a fake tear from his eyes.
"Well sir I am a bit worried that you're so concerned with my friends and who they are. Trust me all of my friends are good and always remember the son is not always like the father. Draco is not evil like his father and I am not a bully to Professor Snape like mine was. He is of course not aware I know this. I found an old journal of my dad's stating what he was doing to him in it while here at school and quite frankly it was disgusting. I have never taken crap from control freak bullies who fuck their toys out of the pram when they don't get what they want and I'm not about to start now either. I am trying my best to get on with Professor Snape as like me he hasn't had it easy. I mean living with the magic hating arrogant Dursley swine's is no fun. But then again I can move out soon if I so choose. As of now it's easier to live there!" he said happily.
"Harry I can't allow you to leave that house as there are blood wards keeping you safe from death eaters inside its walls! It's simply not safe enough to allow you to leave!" he said forcefully. "Well sir why you'd have any say in where I live is beyond me. Also the blood wards are attached to me and not the house and they don't protect me from the monsters inside it. But then again had you ever checked on me you'd actually know this. Besides which I have no guardian magical or otherwise as this is the way my parents wanted it in their will. I found out at Gringott's when I last went there. It is my right to know this and so I have been emancipated however I choose to live in the Dursley house as no matter how vile they are I don't wish them to die!" he said plainly.
Dumbledore was enraged at this. Another way of controlling him was now gone. "Thank you Harry I'll see you later on!" he dismissed the boy the twinkle in his eyes now gone completely. With a swipe of his hand everything was thrown from his desk as he howled in rage. He would have order!
