Stasha Hermione Snape
Chapter 14
A/N Okay here we go with another chapter. This will continue with Harry and the Grangers in the headmaster's office. Enjoy….
Harry and the Granger's quickly made their way to the Headmaster's office. Rose and Frank were a little concerned about the way Harry was going to get Lori out of her Auntie's custody. He looked like he would be willing to do anything to get her out of there. Of course he was willing to do anything, they just didn't know the lengths he was going to go to, to do it. He would do it too; he had just a wee little bit of blackmail to use against the Headmaster and the Minister of Magic. However, he wouldn't bring that up unless necessary. He was actually hoping that the will would be enough. Once they got to the Headmaster's office Harry spoke the password and allowed the Granger's to take the lead. Before they even knocked on the door they heard the Headmaster call out.
"Come in." Inside his office Albus Dumbledore sat behind his desk, with his eyes twinkling of course. Harry knew instantly that that meant trouble.
"Ahh. Good afternoon Drs. Granger. Harry." Albus stated, silently wondering what this threesome wanted.
"Headmaster" came his reply from all three.
"Well what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked directing his question towards the Grangers. The Grangers however looked at Harry. Harry nodded and spoke to the Headmaster with as much calm as he could manage.
"Well, Professor, there was a first year Hufflepuff that came to the head room last night. She was scared and lonely. She told us that she didn't feel like she belonged here because she couldn't read or write well enough to keep up with her classes. She didn't even go to potions this week. After talking to her for a few minutes alone, I discovered that her parents died about six years ago. She has been living with her auntie since then. I use the word living very lightly here. She has been kept in a closet the entire time she has been in her aunt's custody, as well as being beaten regularly. She got little food and no education. Her aunt didn't want to take her in the first place, however at that time there was no other known relations for the girl. The only reason she is here, is because her aunt saw it as a way to get rid of her (for most of the year at least)." Harry stopped here for a minute to let the Headmaster absorb what he was saying.
"Harry, this is a very serious situation. You can't be certain that all this has happened. She may just not like her aunt and is trying to get out of there. May I ask Doctors what brought you into this situation?" The Granger's and Harry were nearly boiling over with anger. Rose was ready to stand up and defend Lori, however Frank stopped her with his hand on her arm.
"Harry called on us, on Severus' instructions. They wanted to see if we would be willing to help with the muggle authorities, with getting this child out of that situation. Also to see if Rose would be willing to tutor this child until she was comfortable with her reading and writing abilities." The Headmaster looked between the three of them.
"I see. And no one saw fit to inform me of this situation before now?" Harry looked at the headmaster.
"No sir we did not. There have been other developments since this has been brought up. It turns out that the Granger's knew this family before the mother and father were killed in a car accident. Hermione used to play with the child. Both families were rather close. Before the parents died, the mom left a letter with Hermione, for her to bring out when the time was right. This morning was the right time."
"And this letter said what exactly?" Asked the Headmaster, loosing his patients. Harry smiled inwardly. Oh how he loved to aggravate this man.
"Well, several things actually. It said that her daughter, Lori, was a result of a sperm donation. She had figured out who the donor was. She asked that if anything happened to her or her husband, that the donor be contacted and asked if he would be interested in taking custody of Lori. She also stated that Lori was not to be in her sister-in-laws custody. If the donor did not want Lori then she asked that the Grangers take her in as Hermione is her godmother." Harry smirked at the look on the headmasters face.
"Well, I am assuming that the Granger's are going to try to get custody of Lori?" Harry smiled and shook his head.
"Nope, the donor wants custody." The headmaster sighed.
"Harry, there is no way that we would be able to find this donor. We couldn't possibly even know where to begin." Again Harry smirked.
"Wrong again, I'm afraid. We know ho the donor is and he has already been contacted. Not only that but he has agreed to take custody of Lori." The headmaster frowned.
"Harry you make it sound as if this is going to be easy. This is going to be very difficult. It may take several years, and Lori will have to remain at her aunts until it is all sorted out." Harry snorted.
"You would want that wouldn't you headmaster. You see, you are wrong yet again. Because not only did Lori's mom let us know who her real father is, she also gave us a little bit of her own family history. It turns out that Lori's mom was my mom's sister. Oh she was given away when her first signs of magic began to show, but you knew that already didn't you headmaster. You see I have been thinking about this, since I found out. Why would her parents give her up and keep Lily? An then even though she was living on the streets, she should have still gotten her Hogwarts letter. And where she was staying, the person watching over her would have made sure she got the letter. So I came to the conclusion that there was interference with the Evans' giving her up and with the delivery of that letter. Well, since I came to that conclusion, I had to come to another one. How would you know who that young girl was and why wouldn't you want her to get her Hogwarts letter? You headmaster, are a seer. I had thought about this before, but now I am speaking the truth. Something about my aunt, or her future scared you and put a kink in all your plans for me. Now we know why you didn't want me to leave the Dursley's and why you continued to let them treat me the way they did." Harry stopped to take a breath, he saw that the headmaster was going to say something and put his hand up.
"No, now is the time for you to listen. You will go to your floo and call the minister here right now. As soon as the minister is here, I will ward the office so that neither of you can leave. The Granger's and I will wait outside your office for five minutes, just to let you two think you can come up with some type of plan to prevent anything from going differently than what you want. Go and gather the minister now sir, and I suggest you fill him in on what you know." The Grangers' were looking at Harry in awe. Harry smiled at them. Within a few minutes the minister was standing in the headmasters office. Harry and the Granger's stood up. The Granger's left the office while Harry warded the room with a sputtering Fudge and a bewildered Headmaster. He then turn and left the office as well.
A/N Ahhh. I couldnt help it. I have this need to constantly add twist to stories I write. So yes there are going to be some interesting twist to come. I know at the beginning of this story Harry was all happy and oaky with Dumbledor, let's just say he hadnt pieced things together yet, Now he knows better. I do like Dumbledore sometimes, but others if you think about it he does sound manulipitive. Hope you enjoyed this and will enjoy whats to come. Please review.
