Avoiding Fate: Chapter 10

AN: I am running out of plot bunnies! Please review, PM or email me at trickerdc* *gmail*dot*com what you want to read next! (Really desperate!) (Take these * out!)


Harry was really nervous, had Madame Bones not have received his letter? Did the Old Fool intercept the letter? If so, he might find oewut that he had the Stone, luckily Harry had a trunk that can only be opened by him.

One after another, people's personal belongings were searched through, occasionally finding something they deemed inappropriate and confiscating it. It was almost his turn until they heard a loud bang!

"Albus Dumbledore! How dare you use your position in order to search student's belongings!" thundered an unexpected Amelia Bones.

"Now Madame Bones, i'm sure that we can talk about this in my office."

Students were mumbling among themselves, whispers of 'didn't the Ministry order this?' reaching his ears occasionally.

"I think not Dumbledore! I was owled by a student about this! How dare you intrude in on another's privacy!? That's it! You have earned yourself a strike on your record, two more and you will be kicked out of the school!"

"Now, now Amelia, you must know that what I did was for the children's sakes." How does she know about this, I read everybody's mail. Who is this imbecile!?

"For the children's sakes! Like searching through their things for the Philosopher's Stone is for their sake, more like yours! For all the students who have had their things confiscated must be returned Headmaster!"

"Very well then." Growled the so called Leader of the Light.

Various things popped back into students trunks.

"Now all of you shall be off to bed now."

Every student from Hogwarts were grateful that Madame Bones had shown up, their things almost got confiscated, so much for privacy.

The next morning, Harry woke up to the probably the best article that he had seen so far from Rita Skeeter.

Esteemed Headmaster goes Barmy!?

Esteemed Headmaster Dumbledore has gone Barmy! Just last night, he ordered that every student must go through a check through their things as per the Ministry's orders for a Stone, most likely the Philosopher's Stone, it's safe to say that the students weren't happy.

As students things were constantly confiscated, Amelia Bones suddenly bursts in, did the Ministry not order the search after all? As it turns out, an unknown student had gotten hold of the Head of DMLE and owled the woman about this event.

As more people read the paper, they turned to the man sitting in the middle of a grand table.

"Albus, have you read this?" McGonagall said.

"No, not yet, what is it about?"

"Just read it."

Dumbledore snatched the paper from the woman's hands and began reading, by the time he was done reading the Daily Prophet he was fuming with anger, he was a hilarious sight to behold as he looked like an ugly, wrinkled eggplant.

"Do you have anything to do with this?"

"Hush Blaise, You'll find out sooner or later, perhaps later."

And with that, Harry sashayed away flipping his hair in the process.

"Fool wants to think that he can control me? Ha! I don't think so~." He hated that old man with a passion, he hoped that he would let karma bit him back ten fold in his old, wrinkled arse.

He made his back to his sanctuary aka his room, and plucked a book off of the shelf.

"Guess I should read more about politics if i'm going to be a lord…"

Harry had learned so much during this reading session, he could sue the Bee for child negligence. He has his Magical Guardian for God's sake! But if this got out… oh his reputation would start crumbling.

He quickly wrote a letter explaining that the Potter Head of House would like to meet her for an interview, that greedy woman would be delighted if she could get some dirt on some people.

After reading his book, he picked another, and another until something in a book stole his attention.

'For generations, the Potter House has eaten its way into many other family lines including Peverell, Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Black and many others.

Should a vermin decide to steal a Potter's right, they deserve to serve time in Azkaban as it is an insult to the House.'

Even more dirt on the old fool huh? I'll have to pay a visit to Gringotts once again to see if the old man had done anything to his seats as he had read in his 'Wizarding Politics' book.

"Fink!" he said loudly as a little elf popped into existence. "Apparate me to Gringotts please." the little elf nodded being excited to please his Lord.

And once again he popped into another place.
