Chapter 11
[The Burrow]
Molly and Ronald entered through the floo as it flamed to life in a bright green, both looking ruffled and irritated, especially Ronald who now had raccoon eyes from when the twins punched his lights out the day before.
They enter the kitchen to see the rest of the family, none looking happy to see them along with Ginny who was in the middle of five brothers and Arthur was standing looking at his wife, his eyes sad, but sharp.
Molly felt something really bad was going to happen, but Ronald, as usual, didn't think about the atmosphere. His mind went straight to fridge as Molly said, "What is going on?"
She received no answer as Fred cast a stinging curse aimed directly at Ron's ass causing him to yelp in pain as he landed on his butt and he took to glare at the twins, but their steel glares crushed his own and made him move towards his mom for protection seeing how nobody berated Fred for casting the spell.
"George!" Molly snapped
"I'm Fred, he's George," Fred said, pointing to his lookalike.
Molly looks red as it looks like steam is about to blow out of her ears, but before Mt. Molly could blow up, Arthur's cold voice pierces her ears.
"Molly. Sit down and shut up. You as well, Ronald."
Molly dragged Ron to the table and sat him down in the chair as Molly sat, staring up at her angry husband.
"Molly because of you and Ronald, we nearly lost Harry Potter as a friend of the Weasley house, tarnished my family honor and the value of my word, one of the few things I was wealthy in that matter. The honor of my word, but I will not let you tarnish my name anymore or my children anymore. I cast you from this house and I divorce you and Ronald from the Weasley family."
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, you are excused. Leave Molly and take Ronald with you. You are not welcome to come to the Burrow anymore, please leave or will have to make you."
Before Molly and Ron could cause a stink about it Bill banished them both from the house, grabbing his father's shoulder in comfort.
"Thank you, Bill."
"No problem, Dad."
Arthur went upstairs to rethink his life, he would find his life would be looking up, but first, he needed to write the wrongs Molly committed against a poor boy who he considered a son.
Back in her bedroom, Ginny went to practice her daily hours of light magic to flush out the dark magic in her system, bandages wrapped around her hands.
The twins made a promise to make Ron's life a living hell along with his cohort in stealing from the little green-eyed boy who looked up to them as brothers.
[Bones Mansion]
Sirius Black was now fully healed to where he could run and walk around the house as he pleased, his corny jokes and full-bodied laughter filled the mansion. He took Amelia around the mansion just to spin her away in his arms, making her fight between laughing with him and telling him to put her down.
She dragged him to the couch and sat on his lap as he hugged her and nuzzled her neck, thanking her for freeing him from his unjust imprisonment and they enjoyed their time together alone making up for lost time and soon it was time for them to appear at Gringotts.
[Gringotts Bank]
The couple arrived at the front of the goblin bank with Sirius wearing a hood over his face to not attract any attention until they arrived and they were given a private room that Amelia booked and Sirius revealed himself.
However, the goblin didn't freak out or order the goblin guards in the room to attack the missing criminal, the goblin gestured to the seats in front of his desk and they sat down, now really confused.
"You are wondering why we are not shouting for the guards to arrest and detain Sirius Black, correct?"
Amelia and Sirius both nodded slowly.
"We are well aware of Sirius Black's lack of trial."
"But-" The goblin raised his hand to stop Sirius from speaking.
"With any and all people who have been accused, tried, and convicted there needs to be a transcript of a trial and since there was no transcript available your accounts are still frozen, if you were actually convicted then your account would have been split between the ministry, the injured party, and the rest of your family members."
"I see..." Sirius said, perplexed
"As they say, let us get down to business."
"Of course," the pair said, before going into their discussion and the meeting wrapped up fairly quickly.
The news that Sirius never received a trial would be posted on the Daily Prophet tomorrow morning along with pensive memories of that fateful day and showing that it was Pettigrew who blew up the street killing the 12 innocent muggle bystanders and not Sirius Black. Amelia Bones also placed Sirius Black under her protection and he would be brought alive and well to his well-deserved trial to prove his innocence. He also recalled the money that Lucius siphoned from the Black vaults making the Malfoys indebted to him.
Sirius swore he would remove Bellatrix and Narcissa from the Black family all together so even if he died, no death eater would get a hand on the power and money of the Black name and it would all go to Harry gave him some peace of mind.
The couple left Gringotts in a very good mood and they knew things were going to change and change for the better. As soon as they got home, Sirius wanted to show Amelia his...appriecation and let's just say neither of them got much sleep that night.
[Hogwarts: Dumbledore's Office]
Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, his comfortable puffy chair and the soothing presence of Fawkes did little to comfort him as his mind ran wild.
'Harry has grown stronger and that...is simply unacceptable. He needs to be pliable, weak, forgiving, and downtrodden, he would be willing to sacrifice himself for the light and to weaken Voldemort so I can deal the final blow. But this Harry Potter is nothing of the sort, he is strong, mentally and magically. He is stubborn in his decisions and refuses to back down, even in the face of the one who killed his parents and saved the youngest Weasley child.'
"Hmm~..." Dumbledore said, softly as the portraits were pretending to sleep to listen to his rambling.
"This simply cannot do. Harry needs to be the perfect Gryffindor, mentally weak and ready to jump head first in roaring flames... he is the weapon needed to weaken Voldemort... But how to get him under my control...?" Dumbledore said, getting out of his chair and he started to pace in front of his desk.
However, when he took a glance at his shelf filled with silver spinning trinkets, he choked out a breath as he looked at the constantly spinning trinket that monitored the wards around Pivet Drive and he found the trinket, neither spinning or puffing smoke. It was completely silent and that made Dumbledore feel like a block of ice fell into the pit of his stomach.
He placed the trinket back on his shelf, grabbed a handful of floo powder and made his way to Three Broomsticks and then apparated to Pivet Drive.
'This cannot be happening, the protection wards are to be connected to Harry's magic and love for his family but it was like it was never placed around the house, to begin with. How is this possible?' Dumbledore thought in shock.
Dumbledore knocked twice and Petunia squeaked as the old man forced his way inside. He forced his way into Petunia's mind and saw bits and pieces of Harry's return and then nothing. After searching for several more minutes, Dumbledore finally exited out of Petunia's mind, ignoring that she had a raging nosebleed.
"Dammit..." He growled before apparating back to his office and sighed, "How can this get any worse?"
Dumbledore then looked at his glass bowl filled with lemon drops were gone and then Dumbledore ransacked his office looked for his extra large bags that are supposed to be filled to the brim with lemon drops but they were all empty and then he heard a knock on his window and saw an owl with a letter.
He retrieved the letter from the owl and read the content and stayed silent and still for a few minutes...and then all Hogwarts and the Forbidden forest a terrible scream rang out disturbing many animals and several people who heard the shout from Diagon Alley.
[Ivy Manor]
The manor was decorated tastefully with Hedwig hooting/greeting the guests and landed near the rosebushes watching Ciel and his butler Sebastian who entered the garden and hooted a greeting.
"My...what an interesting owl," Sebastian said, looking keenly at the white owl who stared back at him.
"Apparently so," Ciel said, also looking at the owl
"I see you already met Hedwig?" A voice called out to the pair
It was Harry who was wearing a pressed white shirt tucked into black slacks and knee-high boots with a black striped vest over his shirt.
"Harry Potter," Ciel smiled, lifting a hand for his friend to shake
"Ciel Phantomhive," Harry smiled in return, before grasping it with a full grip
"Who is the man beside you, Ciel?" Harry asked, remembering him from his decoration celebration but not catching the man's name.
"His name is Sebastian Michaelis, my butler," Ciel said, plainly gesturing to the man who bowed and Harry bowed as well in respect.
"And a fine butler at that, I see he's been keeping you from burying yourself. Thank you for that, Mr. Michaelis," Harry said, causing Sebastian to bow and snicker at Ciel who returned the snicker with a cold glare.
"Don't push it you, besides you are just as bad as me," Ciel said, twitching an eyebrow in annoyance
"True..." Harry said, freely admitting it
"Hedwig, is it?" Sebastian asked, as the owl glided down and landed smoothly on Harry's shoulder.
"Yes, and the name fits her perfectly," Harry said as the owl cooed and hooted, ruffling her features in happiness
"She...reacts strangely like a human..." Sebastian said, slightly tilting his head as the owl gazed at him with her yellow eyes.
"So, I've been told, but enough about that, she needs to go off to the forest and explore some more, isn't that right, girl?" Harry asked the owl
The response he got was Hedwig hooting her agreement before flying off towards the forest, staying near the lights just in case.
"You can speak to her?" Ciel asked, with a raised eyebrow
"And she understands me, she is my familiar after all," Harry said, gesturing towards the table.
The group then made their way towards the table and then the last arrival appeared who was also the secret guest of honor.
Raiden Ice is the same age as Ciel, Harry, Lizzy, and Jessi and they all hated him, even Lizzy, the bubbly girl that screams sugar, spice, and everything nice wanted nothing more than to toss the smug bastard through a window.
Raiden had styled his icy blonde hair flat against his head and kept the bangs out of his eyes with two black hair pins fashioned like a roman numeral 'X'. He has fair skin with light blue bordering on silver eyes with thin lips, a sharp nose with a smooth jaw. He wore a black vest with a silver shirt and dark navy boarding on black slacks with polished dress shoes.
Ciel and Sebastian hated him for his attitude and they both had to remind the other not to kill him, even though it would give everyone a reason to celebrate, but Ice was only protected by his name and position his father held and if that position slipped then Raiden would be fair game.
Raiden arrived with his smug butler who was firmly told that everything will be taken care of and that his help was not needed by Harry's butler.
"Oh Earl Potter is it great to meet you," Raiden said
"As it is to you, Mr. Ice, please take your seat at my table?" Harry said as Ice bowed and did just that, right in front of Harry's sight, as Ciel was seated at Harry's left and Jessica was seated at Harry's right.
'This is going to be a fun game...' Harry inwardly smirked
Ending the chapter! I am finally finished with this chapter and I'm so sorry that I took so long but I got caught up in my other works, please forgive me! The next chapter will be out soon, I promise. The next chapter will be about Harry tearing Raiden to pieces and retaining his place in Ciel's side. After that, Sirius and Amelia will be writing to Harry about the meeting with the goblins and the appeal to have Sirius Black have a trial, after that a look a brief look at Ginny and how Molly and Ron are doing. You guys have any ideas then please do not be afraid to PM me! X3 Laters!
