Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed the last chapter! Harry and co still don't belong to me!


Arisa Tokudome: Thanks! Yeah Dumbledore is going to get what's coming to him!

hotflower901: Ron is an ass. He is never going to learn his lesson, and thanks! It's hard writing a naughty scene that everyone enjoys!

Mrs Morpheus: Yes he gets caught, but he doesn't really get the chance to use them, as Harry refused to tell him what his magical inheritance was. Besides, Draco is adamant that Harry is never going to get used again. Narcissa and Melinda are trying to make the Ministry get rid of Dumbledore as he's a threat to their children, as well as the other students. They may be related, they haven't found out yet. ;)

igotmoneymoney: Thanks! :D


Chapter fourteen- Dumbledore's downfall.

'Have you done it?' Harry whispered to Draco the following morning at breakfast. Harry and Luna were sitting at the Slytherin table, much to Dumbledore's obvious annoyance.

'Yep. Dobby is so mad at the old coot! He really does worship you.'

Harry chuckled. 'Yeah, he's a sweet old thing.'

Blaise lent slightly over Luna, so he could whisper something to the Gryffindor. 'Harry!' He hissed. 'He's about to drink!'

The four glanced over at the Professors table discreetly and sure enough, the Headmaster was about to take a sip from his goblet. He took a large mouthful and placed the cup back down on the table.

'How long does it take to work?' Luna asked.

'About a minute, if that. I think it's working, look.'

Albus Dumbledore was staring at Harry intently, his cheeks were flushing red and his eyes were deepening to a dark, cloudy blue.

'Here we go.' Harry said and he trilled lightly, letting Fawkes know that it was time. Luckily, the phoenix had decided to come in when the morning owls delivered their post, so it wasn't completely obvious that it was a set-up.

The owls came, and it wasn't hard to miss the flash of red and gold, as he swooped down to his Master and settled comfortably on his shoulder. He nibbled Harry's ear affectionately, and he trilled softly when Luna reached over and petted his golden head.

'Hey boy.' Harry crooned to the bird. Everyone was staring, Harry could almost hear their thoughts.

Phoenix!

Dumbledore?

Potter!

How? Why? When?

The raven haired teen grinned at the other three. 'Three, two, one!' He counted quietly.

'Mr Potter. Any reason my pet bird, the same one that has been missing for several months is currently sitting on your shoulder?'

'I don't know Sir. Maybe he likes me?'

Draco and Blaise laughed quietly, as did the other eighth year Slytherins.

'Care to give him back to me? I've missed him dearly, as you can imagine.'

'That depends if he wants to go back to you. Birds are fickle creatures. You should know, Sir.'

'Harry, just send him over.'

'I said Sir, he can go back to you if he wants.'

Harry was testing the older man's patience, and you could quite obviously see Dumbledore trying to contain his rapidly growing temper. The potion was working.

'Give. Me. The. Damn. Bird!'

'How. About. No?'

The hall gasped. Nobody could get away with talking to the Headmaster like that! Not even the boy-who-lived.

The old man drew his wand and pointed straight at Harry.

Well that happened much quicker than I thought.

Draco and Blaise were smiling in obvious glee, but the worry in their eyes was evident. It was definitely working, but how far would the old man go, under the influence of an anger concoction? Luna was trying to hold back a grin, but she had the same worry as the boys. It was happening a lot quicker then they had anticipated.

'Those Slytherins have obviously taught you bad manners Mr Potter. Stealing too? My, oh my. I'm sure the Aurors would love to hear about this! Stealing a phoenix is a serious crime. ' He said coldly, taking a step down towards Harry.

The snakes all cried out in protest, but everyone could hear the clear roar of laughter coming from the Gryffindor table.

'He got that in one.' Weasley muttered to his girlfriend. She smiled and turned to Harry with cold eyes.

Harry sighed. 'I suggest you point your wand down, Dumbledore.'

'Or what Mr Potter? I don't think there's an awful lot you can do about it.'

'Everyone with half a brain knows a Phoenix can't be 'stolen', they choose who they want to bond with, and he wanted to bond with me. Me, Headmaster. Not you. So Fawkes is MY phoenix and there is nothing you can do about it.'

That seemed to tip the old man over the edge. He sneered, and his anger finally got the better of him.

'CRUICO!' Dumbledore roared. Again, gasps could be heard all over the hall. The Professors all stood and began rushing around frantically. The Headmaster had finally lost the plot.

Draco, Blaise and Luna all leapt to Harry's defense immediately, as did Seamus, Neville and Dean. They rushed across the hall, to show their support to their friend. Everyone else was stunned into silence.

The five teenagers stood facing the old man. Draco was on his knees making sure Harry wasn't hurt too badly. He was hastily tipping a pain potion into Harry's mouth. Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout joined them, pushing them back slightly, so they were stood in front, each one of them had their wands out at the ready.

'Everyone! Back to your dorms. Seventh and eighth year prefects, take them there and make sure they stay, until I say otherwise.' McGonagall commanded.

She was obeyed immediately, by most of the students. Weasley disregarded his head of house and went to back up the Headmaster. He tried encouraging Hermione to stay too but Ginny was shouting at him, telling him to move his ass, or be dis-owned by his family completely. He didn't listen, much to her annoyance and she gave up and walked away from him, hoping never to see him again. She still loved Harry, and she didn't want to see him hurt, but this wasn't her battle. Draco was more than enough to protect him, but she sent a silent prayer to Merlin anyway.

'Albus Dumbledore! Attacking a student!' The disgust was evident on her face, and the emotion was mirrored by all of the Professors. Except two, the new muggle studies Professor Davis, and Trelawney. They had been so brain-washed that they couldn't see the obvious evil that was in front of them.

'I see Harry has got to you too! My own staff going against me! How could you, Minerva! And Severus! After everything I've done for you!'

'Our jobs are to teach and care for our students, not stand here and let you attack them!' Minerva hissed. Snape just snorted.

The old man raised his wand again and began flicking curses at the Professors. His two sidekicks joined in and it seemed they were aiming more for the teenagers. Ronald was attempting to hit Harry with some sort of curse, but Snape blocked them all with ease. Dumbledore was powerful, one of the most powerful wizards in the world, but nothing could of prepared him for the wrath of the house-heads. They were furious, and banded together they were a force to be reckoned with.

Luna was hit by a stunner, while she was trying to help Harry get back on his feet, Draco was better at dueling then her, so she had pushed him forward and tended to Harry herself. Blaise was struck with a severe stinging curse and Draco was going insane with the need to help his three counterparts, as well as destroy the man who tried to destroy the love of his life.

Harry had recovered from the strong blast of Crucio quickly, and after reviving Luna and making sure Blaise was okay and able to stand, he started sending the most powerful curses he knew at the Head Master.

Draco and Luna made sure Ron was taken care of, before turning back on the old man. The Professors had taken down their fellow colleagues with ease, and the seven teenagers, plus the four teachers stood against a very alone Dumbledore. Who, unfortunately was doing well, by blocking every hex, jinx and curse that was flung his way. Dean and Neville were concentrating on trying to trip the old coot over, which made it slightly harder for Dumbledore to block the other curses. Merlin knows what Seamus was doing, but one could guess he was trying to blow something up.

'The Aurors have been called Albus, there is no hiding now. Either stand down, or risk getting injured. You can't win against eleven of us.' Professor McGonagall spoke softly.

'Whatever the little brat has told you, it's a lie.'

'Harry hasn't told me anything. I've seen it myself, you're not a man of the light Albus, your power had consumed you.'

Just before a binding spell could be cast at the old man, he sent a wand less stunner at McGonagall, and he apparated, knowing she was right.

Snape caught the witch before she could hit the floor and he barked at the other two Professors to get help.

'The crazy old fool needs to be caught before he tries killing us all.'

Professor Sprout ran to contact the Ministry, as the Aurors hadn't showed up. Professor Flitwick bound the unconscious trio, that were sprawled unceremoniously across the floor and Draco and Blaise went to contact their Mothers. If anyone could sort this mess out, it was them.

'You okay Luna babe?' Harry asked softly. They had left the hall and were walking up to the hospital wing, for a pain potion. Luna had been hit with a powerful stunner and Harry was naturally worried about her.

'I'm fine Harry, just a bit sore where I fell over. Are you okay? You seem a bit shaky.'

'I'm angry. But at least we outed the old coot, everyone knows what a bastard he is now. I need to tell Snape what I found out the other day.'

'What do you need to tell me?' Severus Snape drawled as they bumped into him, just outside the infirmary.

'Dumbledore is the reason my Parents are dead.' Harry said softly, he felt like he wanted to cry, but he knew now was not the time for tears. He went on and explained what he'd told his boyfriend and friends the day before.

Snape folded his arms, the anger, pain and sadness, evident in his eyes. 'I see.' He hissed. He knew something fishy was going on with the Headmaster that night. Poor Lily, being betrayed, by not one, but two people she trusted more than anything.

'We had to get him away from here Sir! He was going to end up hurting someone.' Luna cried, she was wringing her hands together, a sign she was stressed.

'Miss Lovegood, enough with the dramatics. I believe you. I'm not sure he's going to be found any time soon though. Remember fifth year?'

Harry and Luna nodded glumly. They remembered, but at the time it was a good thing that he hadn't been found. How times had changed.

'I'm assuming he could apparate of of Hogwarts because he's Headmaster?' Harry asked slowly, just realizing, that Albus, had indeed apparated.

'How observant Mr Potter.' Snape seemed surprised, not even he had spared a thought on how the Headmaster had escaped. Just that he had.

'But yes, the Headmaster is the only one who can lift the anti-apparition wards. I'm assuming he done so before he disappeared.'

'So anyone can just apparate in and out now?'

'Essentially yes. I need to go see Professor Flitwick about that, if you'll excuse me.'

Harry exhaled. Dumbledore was going to be the death of him. Was it even possible to put such a powerful wizard in prison?

'C'mon Luna, let's go make sure we're okay, then we can go find the boys. I think Seamus might be in here too. I didn't see him leave.'

Sure enough, two of the hospital beds were taken. One by the Transfiguration Professor, and one by Seamus.

'What happened to you mate?' Harry said softly, taking the Irishman's hand.

'Ah I'm okay Harry, it was only a tripping jinx, hit me head on the table didn't I. Klutzy bastard I am. Dean and Neville were sent on to bed. They were worried as hell. Have they caught him? What even happened? I know the old boot wasn't who he seemed, but to do that! Merlin...'

'Dumbledore is the reason there is so much wrong with the wizarding world. He never was good, he just knew how to hide it, until very recently. You were brave to stand against him Seamus, so were Dean and Neville. He hasn't been caught, but there will be new wards going up, and he'll be keyed out of them so everyone will know if he tries getting in here again. Hogwarts is safe for now.'

'Me Ma's gonna go bat shit crazy.' Seamus muttered. 'Hope McGonagall is okay.'

'I'll be fine boys, and watch your language!' A pained voice came from the bed two over from Seamus'.

'Professor!' Harry jumped. She had scared him half to death. 'I'm so glad you're okay.'

She chuckled lightly. 'Always am Mr Potter. A stunner or two aren't going to get rid of me that easily.'

Harry laughed loudly. 'No Professor, obviously not.'

They didn't get to talk much before the doors were slammed open, making everyone whip their heads round to look for the intrusion.

'Mr Potter. Didn't think I'd be seeing you so soon after the war.' A booming voice came from the doorway.

'Kingsley, hello! I thought you were acting as Minister right now?'

'I am. I'm here because I felt I need to be. Can we talk now?'

'Course you can. But I need to know if you're still loyal to Dumbledore?'

The Minister looked shocked. 'Why?'

'I think he's been leading us all on for a very long time, Minister.' Harry replied.

He went on to explain, yet again, about what he had found out the last couple of days. Kingsley stood still, with his eyes and mouth wide open.

'What the...' He was cut off by another commotion, outside the hospital wing.

Draco, Blaise and their Mothers rushed in and they ran immediately to Harry and Luna's sides.

'Oh Harry darling, I'm so glad you're okay! We will find him don't you worry!' Narcissa fumed, pulling Harry into a hug. Melinda was doing the same with Luna.

'I heard what that bastard did to you! He will pay, if it's the last thing I do!' The tall, dark haired lady hissed, checking Luna over for cuts and bruises.

Harry chuckled lightly, he could tell Draco and Blaise were a bit put out that their Mother's were not allowing them to see their respective partners. Blaise was trying to get around Melinda, to embrace Luna, but he seemed to be scared that he was going to get smacked in the face by one of his Mother's over-enthusiastic hands.

Narcissa wasn't quite so jittery, so she stepped back and allowed her Son to get to the Gryffindor.

'Merlin, I am so angry. I didn't think the crazy old man would crucio you dammit! I'm so sorry.' He crushed Harry into a hug so tight, that Harry found it hard to breathe.

'Dray, I'm fine. The pain potion helped. I can't feel anything now. Luna's fine, Seamus is fine and Professor McGonagall is fine. Stop fretting, it's annoying.'

'I'll give you annoying, you bloody Gryffindor.' He mummered as he pressed kisses into the wild black mess that was his boyfriends hair.

'Right, so I'm led to believe that Professor Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, is on the run from what seems like everybody. For essentially being a Dark Lord and what comes with that title, and performing an unforgivable curse on a student. As well as putting all the other students in danger, attempted forced legilimency, as well as an attempted confundus charm. Anything else?'

'Blackmail, brainwashing and I'm sure other students for forced to do other things. Merlin knows how many people's minds he's looked into.' Harry suggested.

'Right, that's enough to go on for now. When we catch him, you'll need to testify in court. All of you.'

They all nodded.

'Minister, please be careful. He will try and fool you, so cast every protection charm you possibly can.' Narcissa said.

'Thank you Mrs Malfoy, I will. As will everyone else who is working on the case.'

'Who's going to be Headmaster?' Melinda asked.

'Well, thanks to you two lovely ladies.' He said gesturing towards Narcissa and Melinda. 'We had a heads up, that something might be happening here, and that we may be in need of a new Head. So, we were going to ask Minerva if she could take the post? Filius can take over as deputy, if possible.'

Minerva nodded. 'I can do that. Filius is in the hall with the three others that fought against us. I suggest you take them all to the Ministry, we'll inform the parents of the student.'

'And if he tries getting in the castle?' Snape asked.

'Call the Aurors immediately, and try and restrain him, in anyway possible. You have my permission to use Imperio, but as a very last resort, and only for this case.' Kingsley said.

The group nodded again in understanding.

'Right, if that's all. I have a lot of work to do. Goodnight.' He sighed.

They muttered their goodbyes, and after finding accommodation for the two older Slytherin women (who refused point-black to leave their Sons) they went to bed and slept all through the night.


How was that? He's the new undesirable number one! :D
