Chapter nine
Severus had been right, the Weasley children that had been causing problems, now weren't doing anything wrong because they knew Hermione could not help them anymore. She had been using her teacher's status to get her children and the nieces and nephews who she was close to out of any trouble when they deserved detentions. The Gryffindor quidditch team was all upset that two of their best players were now out of any games for three months.
Harry had received a threatening letter from Ron, George, Percy and Arthur Weasley all stating they were filing charges against him. Ron's letter was about keeping him from his wife and children. Harry ignored them knowing what he did was perfectly legal. And Harry also knew that Ron's boss, the head auror Gawain Robards would tell Ron exactly that which as an auror Ron should have known.
Only one thing concerned Harry but he had taken precautions in case it was needed. So on the first weekend of the Hogsmeade visit, Harry and Severus casually walked down the long drive following students and some of those students were Teddy, Victoire and their friends. It only took a few seconds of passing through the gates when Ron, George and Arthur stormed over to Harry with their wands pointed at him. Harry casually waved his wand and three wands flew out of their hands and into Severus. Ron pulled a second wand again Harry disarmed him before three men apparated behind them.
'You were right to be cautious Headmaster. I explained that what you did was your legal right as headmaster and passed by the governors,' Gawain said as he kept his wand pointed at the three Weasley's, 'First thing is you three are being arrested, which also means that Ron Weasley you have now lost your right to be an auror, your fired.'
'You can let us handle this Harry, go and enjoy your time off while you have the chance. Oh before you go, I have been receiving a lot of mail all saying the same thing. They are grateful to you for all your changes, now they know their children will be treated fairly and not be attacked by certain students who seem to get away with everything. That is all changed now thanks to you. All of them also say they are thankful you have returned,' Kingsley said.
'That's nice of them, but all I want was for all students to be treated fairly Minister. But are you sure you don't require my assistance because they were too easily disarmed,' Harry looked at Severus who handed the four wands to the minister.
'No, you did Gawain and Kevin's job for him and really Harry, anyone that knows how powerful you are should have known better than to take you on. I know I wouldn't, I'm not suicidal.'
Harry laughed at the pretend exaggerated scared look Kingsley gave him, 'I think I would enjoy a duel with the former head auror. I will let you take care of your prisoners while I take care of my students. Thank you for your assistance,' Harry shook both Gawain and Kingsley's hands, 'I will see you at dinner on Friday night Minister,' he smiled before he walked away with Severus, Teddy and the others all running up to them, 'See, I told you all would be fine.'
'So you contacted the minister and head auror?'
'Yes I did, just as a precaution as I did not want to take the chance that students might be harmed in anyway. Mr. Robards did say he spoke to Ron, seems he didn't want to listen. Now why don't you lot go and enjoy your free time while you can?'
'Thanks dad,' Teddy hugged Harry, then Severus before running off with his friends. But Harry and Severus noticed that he was holding hands with Victoire again.
'It seems your son has a girlfriend Harry.'
'Yes, that happened faster than I thought it would. I will have to sit down with Teddy and talk to him, then tell Bill and Fleur. I'm not sure how they will handle their thirteen year old daughter having a boyfriend even if they do like Teddy.'
'They will be expecting it, Victoire is a very pretty girl and she has veela blood in her. Now come on Harry, let me buy you a drink.'
'You're on Severus,' Harry smiled then they entered the Three Broomsticks. Within seconds the place fell silent before Harry's name was being spoken by everyone. Harry smiled, nodded then found a booth at the back while Severus got them both drinks. Harry saw that he was beginning to be treated the way Albus Dumbledore was treated, respected.
As Harry and Severus left the Three Broomsticks, Molly Weasley and another woman hurried towards them.
'You're ruining my family, you should have stayed away,' Molly screamed.
Harry slowly turned and his face was again cold and hard, 'If anyone is ruining your family Molly, then it is you and your vicious rumours. Then add the fact that what you teach your children and grandchildren is to tell lies, to attack unarmed opponents or opponents that are facing the other way, cowardly, which is wrong. If you wish to see your sons and husband then I suggest you head to the ministry where they are facing charges. Surely you don't want to join them do you,' just then Teddy appeared beside him, 'My charm worked son, are you alright?'
'Yes dad, she tried to grab me, but the moment she touched me, I was transported to you.'
'That is some charm Harry, please explain,' Severus said.
'Anyone that tries to take Teddy against his will the charm will activate and Teddy is instantly transported to my side. Again I had that passed by the courts as I am Teddy's legal adopted father. Teddy, where are Victoire, Lorcan and your other friends?'
'I explain if I disappeared where I would be, so they should be heading this way soon.'
'They are,' Severus nodded his head as a group of around twenty students ran towards them all calling to Teddy. 'We should go up to the Weasley's shop to explain about the new ban on their products, and if any student in caught with them, the owner of the shop will be receiving large fines for every product they sell a student.'
'Yes, we should while we have a chance. You know love, I'm glad I came back. So many things used to be wrong about our magical world, now it's being put right. Teddy, if you and your friends want to continue your fun you can, otherwise you can return to the school.'
'We still have a few things to get dad, but I was going to ask if I could have an advance on my allowance?'
Harry chuckled, but pulled out some galleons and handed then to his son, 'Just remember it will be less next week.'
'I know dad, but it's my first time shopping here. Thanks, love you,' Teddy grinned then ran off with his friends.
'Now ladies, if you'll excuse me, I'm a very busy man these days. I don't have a lot of time to stand around passing idle threats,' Harry nodded curtly then took Severus hand and they walked away leaving the two woman staring after them.
Molly and Audrey Weasley realised that their way of life had changed dramatically. First Ron will lose his job, Arthur, George and Ron were also in prison which means Arthur could lose his job as well. They both glared at the two men's backs before hurrying away wondering if there was any way to get Harry Potter back for ruining their lives. First they had to try and get their husbands out of trouble, and just hoped they didn't end up in prison.
