David's wand slipped from his fingers and landed on the floor with a dull clatter,
"I cannot duel you, Minister."
Harry tsked,
"You just called me minister again when I specifically told you to call me Harry."
Sirius had a tight hold on Harry's shoulder,
"No, Harry. You are not going to duel him."
Harry turned around and faced Sirius,
"Why not?"
Sirius scowled,
"Because he's not worth your effort."
Harry laughed,
"Not worth my effort but he is worth yours? What's going on, Sirius? You seem bothered."
Sirius looked away and Harry made him face him,
"I don't like him."
Harry looked at David and then back at Sirius,
"You don't like David? Why is that?"
Sirius huffed out an indignant breath,
"I just don't like him."
Harry twirled his wand between his fingers and frowned. He was aware of everyone's attention on him and Sirius.
"Is there a legitimate reason for your dislike?"
Sirius glared at David and then shook his head. Harry felt puzzled. He turned to David and beckoned him closer,
"Mr. Rommel, what have you done to irk my dear Godfather?"
Sirius growled and Harry attempted to keep a straight face. David kept his head lowered and spoke in a low voice,
"I have done nothing, Minister."
Remus stepped forward and patted Harry on the shoulder,
"Harry, relax. This is just a childish argument that is probably already settled."
Harry wasn't convinced. There was something going on between Sirius and David. The tension between them was almost palpable,
"Okay. But I'm still going to duel him."
Sirius groaned in protest and Remus spoke,
"Harry, that is not necessary. There isn't going to be a duel. Just relax."
Harry looked at David and spoke,
"Can we talk somewhere private?"
Sirius immediately spoke up,
"Harry, he can talk to you later. Right now, we're in the middle of the selection process."
Harry chuckled,
"Right…selection process…"
He walked away and said over his shoulder,
"Mr. Rommel, I expect you in my office after you're done with the so called selection process."
When Harry had departed. Sirius turned to Remus, whispered something in his ear and strode out of the courtroom. Remus bent over the desk set in front of him, signed an appointment letter and handed it to David silently. David took it with a smirk and vanished it,
"Good job, Remus."
Remus passed him a strained smile,
"Sirius is waiting for you in his office."
David walked through the crowd. Everything that had happened since this morning was unexpected. His thoughts were racing. He was still wondering about the blackout Harry had had earlier. Had it been because he had touched him or was he sick? He could tell that underneath the cheerful exterior that Harry wore so well, he wasn't fine and he was to blame for that. He reminded himself that Harry was going to get better. Whatever Harry was facing was temporary and it was all going to be alright. He was going to be happy. He pushed open the door and the man instantly pounced on him. The door closed behind him with a slam and he found himself pinned to it by a large black dog with its canines inches away from his throat.
It only took a flick of his wand to have Black subdued, restrained and back to his human form. He grabbed him by his long curly hair and arched his neck back,
"Behave yourself, Black."
Sirius fought against the restraints and growled out,
"Why are you back?"
Voldemort laughed and dug his wand into Black's throat,
"I believe Remus has told you all about that."
Sirius continued his futile struggling,
"You ruined his life. You ruined everything. He was finally happy. That night when you gave him the locket, I saw the joy in his eyes. I watched the way his eyes lit up for you. But you couldn't bear it, could you? You couldn't bear to see him happy and that's why you abandoned him. Do you know what he's going through? He's…"
Voldemort leaned against the door and finished the sentence for him,
"Expecting."
Sirius's jaw dropped in bewilderment,
"You knew…"
Understanding dawned in Sirius's eyes and his expression morphed back into rage,
"You knew and you left him despite that."
Voldemort grabbed him by the throat,
"I was not aware of it when I was leaving him. It was a mistake on my part…"
Sirius cut across him,
"Mistake? A mistake on your part? That unborn child is a mistake?"
Voldemort squeezed Sirius's throat and snarled,
"That unborn child is my heir and Harry is my spouse."
Sirius laughed contemptuously,
"Spouse…I'm glad you remember that."
Voldemort released his throat and laughed menacingly,
"I remember it. Do you? Do you remember when you forced the draught of peace down his throat? Do you remember when you held his hand out for me so that I could put the ring on his finger? Do you remember how he begged you to help him? Do you remember that day, Black?"
Voldemort smirked in satisfaction as he saw the rage melt away from Black's face and tears streamed down his eyes instead,
"I am a monster and I do not deny it but what are you, Black?"
Sirius let his head fall,
"Do not attempt to interfere in my matters because I shall make you regret it. Currently we share the same goal and that is Harry's safety."
Sirius nodded shakily and Voldemort vanished the restraints. He drew closer to him, bent down and patted him on the head,
"Good dog."
He turned around and stepped out of the office. He had dealt with his most troublesome hurdle successfully. He expected it all to be smooth sailing from this point onward but he also knew that nothing regarding Harry was going to be simple. This matter could get complicated now that he had landed both jobs. An Auror and a professor. He had always wanted to teach Defence Against The Dark Arts. It was fascinating how Harry had been the one to fulfil that desire after so many years. But that thought also made fresh guilt simmer in his heart because he had never fulfilled any of Harry's desires. Maybe he could start now. Maybe he could give him some semblance of calm…some happiness not as himself but as David.
