Raised by GLaDOS
"Do you have any idea what you have done? Both of you have caused severe damage to the school, nearly killed about three people and sprayed a dangerous chemical on school premises and..." Dumbledore began angrily, he was furious. Something to do with a troll crashing into his school obviously and both me and Katie wondered why they were being told off over this. I'm not too sure as to why but someone needed to get the blame I supposed.
"Saved the school from a giant troll in the process," I interjected; they seemed to be forgetting the whole saving the school thing.
"Don't speak to the headmaster like that," Snape scolded with his hood on, the heads of houses had been called but Snape did look out of place and that was with one half goblin, a gardener and a woman whose icy glare could freeze blood. I suppose his pink hair really did not look intimidating if he was telling a student off. Or in general now thinking about it.
"I would love not to but I was taught to speak the truth, unless there is a good reason, you know testing, destruction the rest of it," I replied trailing off when I realised just how much GLaDOS had lied over the years.
"I do not care what you were taught, you have caused the complete destruction of a tower in an effort to stop a monster that the staff could have stopped with much less effort," Dumbledore interrupted sternly. Arrogance much?
"Yes but you weren't, Katie wasn't doing too well on her own and I wasn't doing much better with her honestly but here we are, you weren't there and it was a difference between life and death," I pointed out much to the teacher's shock that someone would contradict Dumbledore of all people . Obviously he was something of a God to most of this lot,
"And besides it wasn't really our fault that a metal ball hit the troll in mid-air and destroyed a tower in the process," Katie pointed out; we were in the air after all.
"I see and this same ball that happened to be seen with you and the one your guardian mentioned in some vague form would be attending," Dumbledore wondered aloud, did she? That sounded like something GLaDOS would do,
"In fairness Albus there were two more when we spent about an hour trying to get into his dormitory," Flitwick pointed out, I found out he had been involved in a long conversation with Curiosity who to him seemed interesting while his colleagues tried to remove the hole in the floor obstructing their entry. It had not worked
"Oh yes your dorm, should we mention the bullying tactics you employed to remove people from your dorm?" Dumbledore asked me with angry eyes, the teachers were seemingly unnerved and this was one of the first times they had seen him angry. I must have a talent of winding Dumbledore up.
"Again, he did start it and I finished it with magic that your staff couldn't get around, well I call it magic but still it's better than whatever you tried. Anyway your one to talk, am I going to mention the fact you tried to get two of your students to befriend me and lure me into Gryffindor or the fact you tried to put me in the care of my aunt," I countered with the same angry expression he was giving me.
"You are in her care and if your guardian does not stop with her threats and destruction of ministry property then she will end up in Azkaban," Dumbledore warned angrily.
"How many owls has she killed now? Ignoring the kidnapped phoenix..." I began but never finished
"Mr Potter do not exercise such cheek!" McGonagall shouted, ok maybe she was right to some extent
"Sorry your guardian kills birds?" Katie asked looking confused, she had good reason I mean it was not something you heard in common parlance.
"Yeah, it's a complicated phobia involving a potato and getting close to a nuclear explosion, long story," I told her then something hit me, Azkaban? I had heard that name before
"Sorry rewind what's Azkaban?" I asked trying to sound innocent
"A prison Mr Potter, where all magical criminals are punished to the..." Dumbledore began employing a scare tactic that... oh God. GLaDOS had mentioned the name but not what it was and without me testing she... Uh Oh. Knowing her she wouldn't have even mentioned her plans indirectly before she was going to act.
"Ok as I note you may want to put more security in this prison at some point between now and the next ten minutes," I suggested trying to sound innocent.
"The prison is a fully guarded Mr Potter but that is not why we are here, you need to accept that you cannot take matters into your own hands and also your total..."
Ten Minutes later- Sirius Black
Nearly ten years I had been in here, ten years of everyone thinking I'm some kind of traitor and yet every day I wake up knowing I'm not. The Dementors can't understand why I'm not dead or depressed; they hang around outside trying to make this place even more miserable. My cousin just cackles ninety nine percent of the time and slowly I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever get out of here. I try to change whenever I can but it's hard, very hard in fact seeing as my cousin might see or someone else. Hang on is there something in the air? Other than the sewage and death of course, but jokes aside there was something else.
"What's that?" I asked aloud. The Dementors aura had changed quite considerably in fact, suddenly it was less emotionally crippling and more confused, was something going on? Was it wishful thinking that I was going to be released; what am I thinking of course it is! Hope is dangerous and if the Dementors weren't confused they would take it away but something was wrong. I couldn't tell what but something was going on. One of the Dementors were moving towards the end of the corridor when I heard a high pitched childish voice; had the ministry sent a child here! No even they wouldn't be that cruel.
"I don't blame you!" it announced suddenly and the Dementor was hit by a thousand rounds of bullets, it tore the cloak clean off and it fled away as it was hit by an endless barrage of metal.
"Hello," another voice announced from somewhere else,
"What's going on?" Bellatrix demanded, she was in the cell opposite and most of our imprisonment had consisted of verbal battles between us, what a monster! I often wanted to lean over and tear her to pieces and... Why has a Dementors head just landed outside? Literally with a slight thud and a lot of dust half a twisted looking skull was on the floor, it's mouth was slightly open but half of its jaw had been blown away by whatever was inside.
"The Dark Lord has come for us!" Bellatrix announced jumping up with a cackle, her eyes were insanely wide but I disagreed, Voldemort would not use something like this, these were bullets, the metal caps destroying Dementors. He hated all muggles so I doubt very much he would use them against creatures who would always serve him, besides he couldn't be back right? He was dead!
"Target acquired!" the childlike voice announced and after another round of gunfire the Dementors had cleared out, I could see them zoom out of the window, trying to get as far away from the prison as possible. Ok whatever was here had scared them good and I turned waiting to see whatever was here to destroy me.
"Hello," a strange oval with spider like legs faced me, a bright red dot in the middle shone into my eye and six spider legs looked welded roughly onto it. This was something very odd, it wasn't magic but something else, something I had a strange feeling was...
"Hello?" a mechanical crude female voice rang out in the air, everyone including me jumped back in surprise.
"My Lord?" Bellatrix questioned, she may be insane but she knew Voldemort was a man, I was less sure but here we are.
"Yes? Is this thing on? Chell put more on the amplifier, I know your chubby fingers get in the way but do it," the voice spoke more to itself or this mysterious other and I'm sure I heard a tut from the background.
"Ok, inmates of Azkaban I have good news for you, today is the day I get you out of this place," the voice announced but it had a slight sarcastic or dark ring to it, something that made me slightly suspicious the cheers ringing through the prison were misplaced.
"Ok and the bad news is the rest of your lives is going to be spent with me and your average life expectancy is now around two weeks," it finished confirming my thoughts and filling the prison with confused shock.
"Ok then, activate protocol nine," the voice announced silkily and suddenly the oval things exploded in white gas, it filled the air before I could blink and in a few seconds I had breathed it in and felt the clutch of unconsciousness take hold.
Meanwhile-Harry
"Are you done yet?" I asked wondering if Dumbledore was ever going to stop lecturing us on how we should have let each other die and let the professionals handle it. I'm pretty sure those two sentences contradict each other.
"Mr Potter your lack of respect is getting to a point where it is," Dumbledore began angrily but he was distracted suddenly but the appearance of a large white owl that had appeared in at the window. Gently he took the note accompanying it and me and Katie looked at each other, she was as bored as me but even she was surprised I could talk to the headmaster like this. Depends when your computerised mother does it you find it much easier to do it,
"How on earth..." Dumbledore asked aloud, then quick as a flash he shot me a cold glare
"Miss Bell you may go," he announced gravely,
"Albus I must protest, she is just as responsible..." Snape began angry to see anyone getting away with whatever crime we had committed.
"You may go," he told her and she shot me an apologetic look
"Go on!" I encouraged practically feeling what this was going to be about, she didn't need to stay here for this. At least she was off the hook, then again I'm not too sure why we were on it. We saved the school at the cost of a tower and I'm pretty sure Fred and George launched Space, we kept their names out of it because this was overly destructive for them but we were in the air.
"You mentioned earlier we should increase security in Azkaban prison, I have just been informed there has just been a mass breakout and by mass I mean not a single person is left," he explained darkly looking at me with suspicion. The teachers looked horrified and all turned on me
"I did!" I confirmed nodding, maybe it was wrong to wind them up about it, I don't care.
"How did you know there was going to be a breakout?" he asked almost gently, so he was going back to nice old man well that was not going to work on me.
"I didn't, you can't call it a breakout," I told him with a smile
"Potter do you understand how serious this is? The Dark Lord's old supporters will want to come after you, that will be the first thing they do, you must!" Snape growled also obviously worried about his own skin just as much... well it seemed his own skin was the main concern.
"No they won't," I told him in a very relaxed voice, they were in Aperture, I know GLaDOS and she had been searching for more test subjects for a long time, a magical prison full of wizards was the best possible thing she could find.
"Arrogance just like your..." Snape spat
"Not arrogance I just know where they are and I promise you they will not be enjoying themselves right about now, don't worry knowing GLaDOS you'll find the boides in a few months," I told them before jumping up and strutting out the room while they tried to process what I just said.
"Is this Glad person his guardian?" Snape asked suddenly
"Yes I think so, well she was not any more," Dumbledore replied quickly, he looked up at Snape and the two of them quickly worked out what Harry was taking about. A place where all their owls had vanished and all journey's the aurors made to find the location came up with nothing, a woman who threw Dumbledore to the floor and threatened him. All of it was adding up
"Who the hell have we taken on?" McGonagall demanded.
