Harry Potter and the betrayal
Chapter 11
Harry woke up with a groan. It was still dark was all he could think. That was until he opened his eyes with a pop. Then he remembered reading his book and falling asleep snuggling back into the covers not aware Severus was awake and watching him. With a curious look on his face. He knew Azkaban would change anyone but the change in Harry Potter was too great. He still could not help but wonder. What he heard for the time he was in Azkaban?
He had heard rumours about Harry hearing his mother and father's death when Dementors were near him. But he knew Harry had been though a lot more since them the re-birth of the Dark Lord, and much more. As well as the betrayal of his friends, he didn't know what was worse. He didn't look like he had been affected by his friends betraying him and had gone quietly. Only the death of his owl bothered him. Like he had expected his friends to turn on him. Shaking his head of the mystery of Harry Potter.
Thinking back about the time where he made the oath. He was glad he had. At least Harry had someone to come to. And he wanted the one Harry comes too. He didn't know what he stopped hating Harry Potter. Maybe it was the Occlumency lessons or when he was there last hope? Maybe because he knew the famous James Potter would never have used an unforgivable. Or perhaps because he had started realising that Harry was not James Potter. Harry now looked more like his mother. His face had hard edges on it but it still looked more feminine than James Potter. He acted more like his mother too thought Snape.
He could hardly believe he was having a good time with James Potter's son. Yes he admits it. He had never had so much fun. Harry Potter had given him money to spend and he had spent it greedily. Never having that much money he had nearly spent it all. He loved his new books and cauldrons. He had never been happy since his mother died. And never thought he would be but here he is, happy and carefree. Not only that he had given him more books than he had read in a lifetime millions of them potion's that are decades old. And could sell them getting millions. But he would not sell them he said to himself. The one person he had ever cared about and the person who had cared enough to give him to them had given them to him. And he liked having someone to give something to and they give something to you.
Severus got up and quietly asked Dobby the house elf to get two of them some food. After Dobby's enthusiastic greeting he left. Severus rolling his eyes at the energetic little elf. He had just sat down when he heard Harry tumble out of bed and he could not keep the smirk of his face.
Thankfully he managed to stop himself laughing. Would not want Harry to die of shock after surviving basilisks, Dark Lords, Death Eaters, and his adoring fans of course his 'loving family' he thought sarcastically to himself.
Harry went right to the bathroom to the toilet. As soon as he saw the bath he gasped it was twice the size of his. He wanted to go into the bath shrugging his shoulders he did filling it right up. Getting rid of the clothes he dived right into the bath. Relaxing and washing himself. He had gotten himself addicted to washing himself. Clothes were popped into the bathroom they were his own. Not that it would bother him having Severus he still wore them the ones he had given him, when he had been sleeping all the time.
Getting out the bath he got dressed in the clothes that had been left in the bathroom for him. He walked out and sat down in the small kitchen and started eating putting toast and then scrambled eggs on his plate them bacon and sausages. Giving a good bit of it to his snake who was hungry mostly sausages for the snake.
Harry then said "Thanks for the breakfast and letting me sleep here" he said through a yawn "I have had the best sleep tonight than I have had in ages. I'm going to feed my animals then to read some more you are welcome up any time. I have a potions lab too fully stocked at the moment it's up to you" he said then getting up to leave yawning again, he silently crept through the castle, hiding behind statues and suit of armours when anyone passed.
Getting back into his room. He fed his cubs and gave some rats to his owl before letting it fly around. And hunt for himself. Giving the other rat to his snake, which the snake enjoyed greatly. He had been wondering what to call his animals and now he had.
His owl is called Damon
His snake Salazar
His cub's midnight and shadow
Harry liked the names Harry sat down and started reading more books. The two weeks went in the similar fashion reading books, making potions talking eating properly as well as taking about everything most of his time spent with Severus. When he was not teaching he was in Harry's room. Both of course ignored the banging and shouting of everyone who tried to apologies. He wanted nothing to do with them.
Before they knew it, it was time for the trial even thought they knew he was innocent it needed to be done officially. Harry put on his black trousers white top and emerald cloak on top. Keeping him warm, after all it looked like it had rained that night thought Harry as he looked out the window having just gotten dressed from having a bath.
Severus was in his blacks still foreboding as ever. But Harry could not bring himself to care what Severus wore. He still liked him. Harry always though to himself he likes him because he doesn't treat him like a god and knows just Harry the Harry that has wore masks upon masks just to please everyone. And what did he get for being that person? Chucked in Azkaban. He never really liked Hermione and Ron her superior attitude and his jealousy it was pathetic.
Together they left the Hogwarts ground so they would be on time for the trial. Everyone was waiting for him to come out of his room at Hogwarts. When Dumbledore got an owl that the trial was starting and that Harry Potter had arrived. They were there within minutes after getting a Portkey into the building. They made their way to the courtroom. Looking forward to seeing Harry but what they found was not what they expected. It was like Harry was never there and had just had been on holiday and got a make over. Not knowing Harry had heard their every word.
The whole Order was there, including Hermione and Ron who had been included long ago Severus sitting as far away from them as he could get. As well as the Wizengamont Minister and Madam Bones too. All ready for the trial.
Harry only tuned himself in after the trial had actually started not wanting to listen to the Minister ramble on. The names of people that were in the trial Percy being the one writing everything down. Then the trial began.
Which didn't last very long, before Harry knew it they were administering the truth potion answering the questions that Madam Bones asked. As well as the ones he had asked her to ask.
"Did you use an unforgivable on Colin Creevy?" asked Madam Bones,
"No I did not" Harry heard himself reply.
"Do you know who did?" she asked,
"No I do not!" said Harry
"What happened that day?" she asked the room silently waited to hear what happened.
"Got off the train at king's cross my family are always late, Uncle Vernon works late Aunt doesn't have a car I sat on my trunk that's the last I remember before waking up in that ally way" said Harry voice monotone.
"How did your wand show you were the one who did it?" she asked curiously.
Harry replied "My wand is the brother wand of Voldemort he could use my wand and framed me that's how I survived the night after the third task. That's how he knew about the wands I guess he decided I was too much of a bother to kill and framed me I guess."
"Do you agree with Voldemort about anything" she asked the whole room held its breath.
"Yes," said Harry voice monotone.
"What do you agree up on?" she asked.
"That Muggles should not know of our world we should not have to walk about in fear of a Muggle Borns parents letting people find out about our world and that Muggle Borns should not be aloud at Hogwarts," he replied.
"Why do you think that Muggle Borns should not be at Hogwarts?" she asked curiously
"Because they don't know nothing, the history of the Wizarding world no spells or anything and the pure bloods are having to start over because of the Muggle Borns instead of doing Charms they don't know they are having to spells they have known for ages. That's what Salazar Slytherin wanted He wanted another school made so they could go at there own pace and so they didn't feel like complete idiots. For example Pure Bloods know all about potions the way to stir if you have cooked all your life you are not going to understand it because you done make food in the Muggle world by stirring but by the texture of the potion as well as the colour and smell. As well as not knowing how things interact with each other the ingredients that is."
Surprisingly lots of people seemed to agree with him but Hermione shouted, "I am great at school and I'm Muggle born."
Harry could not stop the words coming out his mouth and said, "That's because you never have your head out your arse and spend your days reading books not everyone is like you everyone else knows there is a life outside books and books can only get you so far, you think you are so superior from everyone else but your not everyone just doesn't want to be called know it all's like you."
Severus looked like he was enjoying himself greatly. Smirk on his face his eyes dancing with glee. He watched Granger look as if she had been punched in the gut. Yes he decided he was enjoying himself greatly. He was glad to have been invited he thought to himself rubbing his hands in glee and settled down to watch the show.
"Did you help Sirius black escape in your third year?" Madam Bones asking the ministers question now.
The minister was listening intently now knowing that the potter brat had something to do with it.
Over in the corner Severus winced that was bad he knew all about it they had talked about all Harry's years at Hogwarts in a couple of there conversations.
"Yes I did help Sirius black get free" said Harry
"How?" she asked
"I told professor Dumbledore that he was innocent I saw Peter Pettigrew earlier that night in the Shrieking Shack he has been hiding in the Weasley's as a rat animagus for twelve years we lost Peter and were confronted by a werewolf Lupin who didn't take his wolves bane potion like he was supposed to nearly killing all of us there that night Professor Snape, Black, Granger, Weasley and me. We as in Granger and me were told to go back in time using the time turner. Speaking in puzzle turn it three times I didn't understand what was happening till I saw two Hermione's one hitting Draco Malfoy. We saved Buckbeak who was being wrongfully accused by the Minister who listens to Death Eaters and money rather than the law or people's safety Black took of in Buckbeak and they were both saved" said Harry.
"Did you just say you saw Peter Pettigrew who was killed by Sirius Black?" asked Madam Bones not believing him one bit.
"Yes he was in the shack he admitted joining Voldemort asking what he would have done then Black replying I would have died rather than betray my friends. Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper then when Black went after him he framed him, using a blasting curse cut his finger off and transformed into his animagus form leaving Sirius with no proof that he was not the secret keeper he was never given a trial and Dumbledore didn't even pause to tell me I was wrong he believed me right away I think he already knew."
There was shouting all around the place unable to believe that the Headmaster of the school had let two school children. Go on a mission using a time tuner that the Headmaster could contempt an innocent man to Azkaban for twelve years or that the Minister could listen to money and Death Eaters. They could not try and say he was lying now.
Madam Bones got up and said "As the light of proof that Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper Sirius Black is herby found innocent and will be rewarded 12 million gallons and will be officially pardoned right now as well as publicly apologised too." Said madam Bones right before Sirius Black transformed into himself.
Nearly everyone screamed when he transformed into himself but calmed down fairly quickly Fudge was screaming like a girl saying "Arrest that man he is still a criminal now" he screeched though all the noise no one even cared he was glowing redder by the minute he didn't like being ignored.
Sirius was pardoned right there and given custody of his godson. Which by the way Harry won't want, he is legally of age soon any way. The school year was ending after that he would be leaving. It's there newt's year this year.
"What happened that night of the third task?" asked Madam Bones
most people thought he really did murder Cedric Diggory and Portkey back making him the winner. The DA Neville Luna and Fred and George know that Harry was defiantly innocent when he gave them the money; Ron conveniently forgot that he gave the money to his brother's.
So Harry began in a monotone voice about what happened that night after they hear that not only do they realise that Harry was human but also he can have fears dreams hopes and that hero's can cry. It was that day they realised that Harry Potter was a person who had been though a lot in his short life who didn't want fame just a family.
"Cedric and I reached the cup area at the same time. Cedric being the Huffelpuff he is told me to take it. I only wish I had. But my stupid Gryffindorish butt asked Cedric to take it with me make it a Hogwarts victory.'
'But as soon as we took it I felt a strange sensation come over me. I realised it was a Portkey I fell to my knees in pain my scar hurt like hell. I saw someone coming towards us before we could even look properly a voice rang around the grave yard "kill the spare" then Cedric was lying dead at my feet'
'I was so shocked I just sat there Peter Pettigrew grabbed me and dragged me to the tomb stones of Voldemort's father a Muggle named Tom Riddle and Peter came back with a huge cauldron and used a ritual to bring back his body with the bone of the father… blood of a servant willingly given and my blood…Blood of your enemy and he rose out.'
'Started going on about living at the orphanage and how his Muggle father abandoned him. Then he summoned all his death eaters to him and then went on about how he didn't manage to get the stone how he again was beaten by Harry Potter used the Cruciatus Curse twice for ages and if you don't know how it feels it feels like there are needles sticking into every part of your body as well as it feeling like it was on fire your bones breaking and fixing itself back up.'
'Then he told me he wanted to duel. I was shitting myself I was just a defenceless fourteen years old and I knew nothing. Nothing that would help me anyway it was just pure and utter luck that I survived and thanks to my mom. I shouted Expelliarmus and he shouted Avada Kedavra then the wands joined and people who had died at the hands of Voldemort came out. Cedric Diggory came first then Bertha Jorkin's, a Muggle man called frank Bryce or something and my parents came next they told me to break the connection and run for it, run for the cup, saying that it would take me back to Hogwarts.' For the first time ever he spoke about his parents without any emotion whatsoever.
'Cedric had told me to take his body back to his parents I knew I owed him that much so I did. I ran for it dodging curses all the way then jumped for Cedric's body and summoned the cup and was back." said Harry his voice becoming less monotone as the Veritaserum starts wearing of slightly.
Everyone at the end of this was staring wide-eyed, shame faced and tearstained faced. The parents of Cedric Diggory standing out, red eyed but proud they had never blamed Harry Potter for what happened. They had never accused the young man when everyone else did.
"Why did you use the Patronus charm out side your house at the summer holidays before your fifth year?" Harry had asked her to say that he didn't want anyone to think him nuts ever again.
"I was fighting with my cousin Dudley when the ally got cold. I knew what was happening right away, I faint anytime I am near the things and I was feeling faint I could hear there rattled breath I tried once failed second time I succeeded. Saving me and my cousin even though we were fighting," said Harry less monotone as the Veritaserum wears off.
"Who sent them to you" asked a confused Madam Bones not knowing the answer or why Harry had asked her to ask him.
"Umbridge sent them after me, I found out after she began threatening to use the Cruciatus curse in her office in front of people and all wanting to know what Dumbledore had planned. She thought that Dumbledore had a secret weapon," he said.
Dumbledore and the Minister both paled at what was going on under there very noises the Minister could not believe his undersecretary had nearly used the Cruciatus Curse. Dumbledore could not believe that had happened under his very nose he is one for wanting to know everything and knowing everything.
"Why were you in the department of Mysteries that night?" she asked wanting to know herself.
"I was just having my History of magic exam when Voldemort manipulated my mind. Creating a vision that was clearly fake. I went to Umbridge fire to see if it were true forgetting there was any trust worthy teachers in school with McGonagall and Dumbledore gone I didn't know what to do. When Sirius was not there I left right away going on a pack of thestrals to the Ministry only to find him not there I picked up a sphere that had my name on it. It was what I was dreaming about for the whole year then before we knew it Death Eaters surrounded us we had to fight till Auror's showed up it was then my innocent godfather fell through the veil I thought I had lost him in a way I had only a lot worse. I didn't practise Occlumency like I should have. I was not told why I didn't know Voldemort and I had a connection that big or I would have tried it was own fault" said Harry trailing of not having anything else to say.
Once that was said the Veritaserum wore off Harry sagged in his seat glad the questioning was over. And sat there thinking not bothering to even keep track of any conversations. He jumped a bit when he felt a hand on his shoulder but let out a revealed sigh when it turned out to be just Severus he didn't want to put up with the idiots.
Before he knew it he was getting told he was a free man. "Harry Potter you are herby found innocent of the crimes that have been made against you we would like to apologies profusely for the wrong sentence in Azkaban," said Madam Bones "Also we would like to compensate you with 10 million gallons." with him being a minor only fifteen years old and being badly affected to the Dementors he got more as well as because he was famous.
Of course Ron was going his famous red colour of late. 'Getting jealous again' Harry thought as he watched amused he could see the amusement in Severus eyes too. He was glad there was more than just him getting a kick out of it all. Harry stood up and it all quietened down.
"It's not just me you have imprisoned unfairly you have imprisoned Hagrid, Severus Snape and Black wonder how many other people you have un fairly punished how many Death Eaters roam free about our streets just so you can have extra money in your pocket. I want a new Minister. Here and now I vote Madam Bones because the current one is just totally incompetent. Severus was freed but was never given back him money nor home but Malfoy did? Why, why is this place corrupt? Is this the kind of world that we want to live in? I know I don't. Do any of you?" said Harry as he tried to do some serious changes around there.
Most of the Wizengamont were talking one walked over to Madam Bones telling her something Madam Bones nodded in turn she shouted out for the court room to here, "All those who want me as Minister and Mr. Fudge stepped down please stand," they all stood every single one of them Fudge looked ready to burst he looked like his Uncle Vernon on a bad day from deadly pale to pink red and purple.
Madam Bones immediately set a couple of Auror's to get Umbridge who was arrested for setting Dementors on Harry Potter. Which Harry really appreciated And Madam Bones told Harry to come in, in two weeks time. And she would sort out Severus Snape's money's.
"Ah Harry thanks for this. I didn't really expect it if you could come in, in a couple of weeks I will sort out Severus Snape's money showing my appreciation" said Madam Bones.
Just as they made there way around people to leave the people he really didn't want to see ended up right in front of him. He growled to himself and though 'this really isn't my day' only Severus heard him but he was just smirking on. Enjoying the show he would not have thought going any where with Harry Potter to be exiting but now he was proven wrong. Right here and their hope bring into his heart he might get his home and money's back. Now more than ever he was glad to be Harry Potter's friend.
Something that none of the people standing in front of him were. Wanting nothing more to rub his hands in glee he didn't but he did get ready for the show that was about to come.
"Harry we are so sorry. Sorry we didn't believe you, you are right. I'm sorry," wailed Hermione.
"I…
LOL THERE WE GO! ANOTHER CHAPTER WILL HARRY PLAY THE FOOL ? AND MAKE THEM THINK HE HAD FORGIVEN THEM? OR IS HE DONE PLAYING? AND GOING TO SHOW THE WORLD JUST WHAT THEY ARE LIKE. REALLY LIKE! ? WHATS IT TO BE? R&R TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! XX BYE XX
