Chapter 7
Harry and Hermione spent the next few days spending time together planning and making sure Harry recovered. They had requested that the memory from Sirius will be transferred to them via Dobby so that they could work out the finer stages of their plan.
Pouring the memory into the pensive which Dobby had brought them Harry quickly instructed Harry on how to use a pensive.
Memory Start
Ron, Ginny and Molly were sat in the burrow. Molly was brewing a pink potion.
"Are you sure that this is going to work mum?" Ginny asked
"Trust me dear one drop of this stuff and Harry and Hermione will be at yours and Ron's beck and call. It is the strongest love potion that can be created" Molly said concentrating on the potion
"This had better work I'm sick and tired of Potter always getting everything. The fame, the fortune and the girl. It's my turn to have my chance in the spotlight. Hermione will be mine" Ron said with a look of pure hatred in his eyes
"Honestly Ron I don't know why you choose to have the mudblood. You're a pureblood after all she is beneath you" Ginny added coldly
"Of course she is, but she has intelligence. I need her to get through Hogwarts and without her I don't have a chance" Ron added
"That reminds me mum has Professor Dumbledore given you this week's money?" Ginny asked her mother
"Yes dear, 5000 Galleons went into our vault this morning" Molly said as she poured the potion into the vials at hand.
"Now listen the both of you, this potion will have to be placed into another drink or the know it all bookworm will figure out what it is. Ron put the potion into Hermione's treacle tart we all know how much she enjoys that. Ginny put your potion into Harry's pumpkin juice"
"Yes Mum" They both said in unison
End Memory
Harry and Hermione were furious. How dare they try and control them! Harry's fists were white and he clenched them trying to control his anger. Hermione however screamed in frustration.
"OF ALL THE SPITEFUL AND DAMN RIGHT STUPID THINGS THAT PRICK HAS DONE THIS HAS TO TOP THEM ALL!" She screamed.
"I know Hermione but remember revenge is a dish best served cold and over long periods of time"
Hermione was still reeling in anger but when Harry hugged her she seemed to calm down.
"Now come on Hermione you're the brightest witch of the generation it's high time we put that to good use and gain some leverage on the situation" Harry said as he continued to hug her.
Hermione's mind set to work "Oh yes, they're going to find out the hard way why it isn't a good idea to mess with us. What about Dumbledore?" She asked
Harry smiled "Leave the old fart to me, I have something special planned for him"
The two set to work.
3 Days later a surprise Order of the Phoenix meeting was called. Everyone was surprised because no one had expected it. Dumbledore was most surprised by it all. He didn't arrange the meeting. So who did?
The order arrived at Grimmauld Place. After they were all sat down Dumbledore stood up
"My friends I'm afraid you have come in vain I never arranged this meeting so I do not have any idea why we are all here" he said with the twinkle in his eye
"Oh the answer to that is quite simple I called this meeting" Harry said appearing in the doorway with Hermione beside him. Everyone was shocked. Dumbledore most of all why hadn't his instruments told him Harry wasn't at the Dursley's?"
Dumbledore moved towards him
"Harry I do not know why you are here but I must insist that you go back the Privet Drive you are not safe here" he said as normal as possible. Harry snorted
"If there is any place on the planet where I am the most safe it is here Dumbledore, besides I had Dobby adjust the protections so that only those who I allow can gain entry into this place" he said confidently
"Harry you cannot do that. I must insist you return at once" Dumbledore replied hastily
"Actually SIR I can, considering Sirius left me this place in his will I assure you I can do whatever I damn well please!" he shouted in response
"Harry dear have some respect he is your headmaster after all" Molly replied
"Don't get me started on respect Molly" He spat back in response
Dumbledore knew he was in trouble so he tried his next move
"You may be safe here but I assure you that Miss Granger is not I will take her back to her parents where she shall be safe until she goes to the Burrow"
It was Hermione's turn to laugh now
"Nice try but I am here at Harry's request the wards protect me as much as Harry and as for my parents they are in a safe location under the protection of myself Harry and Dobby so I won't be going anywhere" she said moving to Harry's side
"Very well now would you be so kind as to inform us as to why you have brought us all here?" Dumbledore replied planning his next move
"Quite simple really. I've asked everyone here because I wanted to give you all a history lesson" he responded softly
"Harry no offence but were all older than you what could you teach us about history?" Tonks asked
"None taken Tonks but I can teach you something. I can teach you the truth" He replied.
"What do you mean Harry?" Remus asked
"It's quite simple Remus everyone has been living under a web of lies, myself and Hermione are going to unravel the web and were going to reveal the truth" Hermione replied for Harry
Dumbledore tried to intervene again
"Ok Harry I must insist that you stop this nonsense now. Everyone has other things which need to be done" Dumbledore replied
"If that were the case Dumbledore they wouldn't have turned up in the first place" Hermione interjected.
"Quite true Hermione, now please if you could begin" Remus smiled at the two of them
Harry stepped forward
"Tell me was anyone here present at the will reading of Sirius?" Harry asked
Remus, Dumbledore and Tonks raised their hands
"If you don't mind my asking what did Sirius leave you"
"1000 Galleons" Remus and Tonks answered. Dumbledore remained silent
"Don't you think that this is a bit strange? Remus you were his best and oldest friend. Do you really believe he only left you 1000 galleons. Tonks you were his only family that he liked. It's hard to believe that is it?" Hermione asked
The two nodded their heads but gave no verbal response
"What if we were to tell you that you were actually left a lot more than that but the two of you have had your memory's adapted to make you only claim 1000 galleons instead of what you were rightfully left?" Hermione asked
"What? How could you possibly know what was on Sirius' will? You left a note with Dumbledore saying that you did not want to be present" Remus replied clearly confused
"That's the thing Remus I left no such note. I went to visit Gringotts a few days ago and I was shown Sirius will they inform me that Dumbledore had a 'note' from me but when tested they found I had given no such note" Harry said. Remus stood up and glared at Dumbledore
"How could you keep Harry away from the will reading? It was his right to be there!" He yelled
"It was for his own protection" Dumbledore replied soberly
"The hell it was!" Remus replied. Tonks grabbed his arm and pulled him back down and began to calm him down
"Gringotts have been kind enough to send us a copy of Sirius' will. I shall read it out for you all to hear" Hermione said holding a piece of parchment.
After she had read the will everyone was in shock Molly was the first to comment
"How could he cut Ron and Ginny out! They did nothing wrong!" She screamed
"I think we both know that isn't true Molly" Hermione spat venomously
"I don't know what you mean" Molly replied trying to regain her composure
"Mull it over some treacle tart and pumpkin juice and get back to us" Hermione replied not even bothering to keep eye contact. Molly shut up after this.
"What I can't seem to work out and I'm hoping one of you will explain this to me is why? Why bother with all of this isn't it enough that I have a renegade army out to kill me and now I have to deal with your manipulations as well?" Harry asked
"It was for the greater good Harry" Dumbledore replied
"The greater good for who though? Cause it certainly wasn't for mine and that's for damn sure!" Harry yelled getting angry.
"It was for the greater good of everyone" Dumbledore replied again
"So let me see if I've got this straight your plan for the greater good involves giving the money which my parents left to me to others so that they could control me? You think that buy dosing myself and Hermione with love potions and loyalty potions that we would become your little puppets? What did you really expect to happen?" Harry yelled
Dumbledore stood
"Harry you must try and understand" He was cut off however by Harry raising his hand
"I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses Dumbledore at the end of the day you've tried to screw me over. Oh and by the way Gringotts are in the middle of reclaiming all of the money which is illegally removed from my account I have added extra protection to my accounts so that only I can access it as and when I choose to do so" Harry replied.
Molly tried to respond but Hermione was quicker
"Oh and Molly I thought you should know we contacted Amelia Bones head of the department of magical law enforcement. They have been instructed to go to the burrow to gather up all of your special little potion and destroy it all. I expect that you will be receiving quite a hefty fine for the attempted use of illegal potions" Hermione smiled whilst all the colour drained from Molly's face
Harry was about to throw the final nail in the coffin
"We have also contacted Professor McGonagall, we are planning to return to Hogwarts no doubt about that but rest assured Dumbledore you will not have any influence over our actions. Professor McGonagall informed us that in extreme circumstances the head of house can assume total responsibility over the students. She has also been kind enough to grant us access to private dorm rooms just in case you plan anything else" Harry replied
"But you can't do that" Dumbledore whispered
"I can and I have. Oh and I can also do this"
"From this point on the Order of the Phoenix is not welcome in this house with the exception of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks!" Harry yelled.
The rest of the order was thrown out the house.
Hermione tackled Harry into a massive bear hug
"That went well" She smiled
"Quite, Phase 1 complete. Now onto phase 2!" He smiled
