Chapter Twenty-Eight

The following evening the soul bonds had found themselves slowly but surely making their way down to the Gamekeepers hut to confront the man about the Chamber. None of them were particularly looking forward to it but they knew it was a necessary evil. Too much had happened in the past few weeks and Hagrid knew something about it. Luna was having the hardest time with all of this and truth be told no one could blame her.

"Are we sure this is a good idea? I mean this is Hagrid." Luna loved Hagrid and she felt that what they were doing felt a little bit like betrayal. He had shown them nothing but kindness since coming to Hogwarts and they were very apprehensive about doing what they were about to do. Essentially accusing him of something they know he wasn't capable of but they had to say something.

"Luna...we have been over this...Hagrid went to school with Voldemort and the dirty rotten snitch got him arrested!" She knew and understood that they needed answers but that didn't ease their conscience any.

"Ok Ok! Just don't expect me like it..." Seeing Luna with a frown on her face was as rare as an eclipse and so as they all got closer and closer to the cabin she was getting even testier. Harry lifted up his hand to knock on the door and just as he went to knock again it swung open to reveal the Mammoth man looking very down in that moment not to mention he had a crossbow in his hand.

"Wow! We come in peace!" They all held up their hands in mock surrender and the man just moved from the door and let them all in, he was practically twitching on the spot and Harry had never seen anything like it. The half-giant was not his usual self and that worried them all.

"Hagrid...are you alright?" He nodded his head at the young boy and with shaky hands poured them all a cup of tea before Draco being who he was ripped the band-aid right off, much to the horror of his friends.

"We need to ask you something...you went to school with Tom Riddle. He was the one who turned you in for Opening the Chamber of Secrets...you had your wand snapped didn't you?" Hagrid hung his head on shame at the children in front of him.

"Yes they thought I opened it but I swear I didn't!" They already knew that but it felt nice having Hagrid confirm it. "I had an Acromantula that I snuck into the castle and fed ya see...his name was Aragog and well they took Riddles word against mine." Luna hugged her friend and the others followed suit to let him know he wasn't alone.

"Do you know who Tom Riddle is Hagrid?" The man sniffles and wipe tears from his eyes with a hanker-chief and shook his head at the children.

"No after he graduated I hadn't heard about him...everyone expected great things from that boy...he applied for the Defense Job one year but Dumbledore didn't pick him...saw right through him did Dumbledore..." Harry acknowledged that the old man wasn't a complete idiot. Before they could say anything else the door knocked and the children glanced at each other in confusion before Hagrid sighed and went to open the door to reveal Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge and Albus Dumbledore at the door.

"Come In please..." Considering it was still light outside Harry knew they wouldn't be in trouble but the Headmaster did not look too pleased with seeing the children there but the Minister didn't seem to care and was going to follow through with his plans regardless of who was there to witness it.

"Ah Hagrid I wasn't aware you had company...sorry to barge in like this but well you have to understand that your record is against you here..." Harry glanced between his friend the Minister in disgust at how blasé he was being.

"His record that he should not have had in the first place..." Draco piped in before Harry even had the chance and Daphne took a hold of her boyfriend's arm in support.

"Excuse me children but I do think it's time you went back up to the castle and let the adults handle this..." The Patronising arsehole actually thought that was going to happen but all of the children gathered around Hagrid to create a barrier of sorts.

"I am visiting my friend well you must understand Minister ever since my girlfriend and the girl who is like a sister to me was petrified well...I like to cling to what I have...also forgive me but considering the adults locked my godfather up in Azkaban without so much as a trial for over a decade you will understand why I don't trust your Ministry or the competence of you as a minister..." The man in question nodded his head and unwittingly engaged in an uncomfortable battle of wills with Harry Potter. He knew this boy had more Political power than he did and so he knew when to fight back and to not fight back. Realistically they did imprison an innocent man and Harry Potter and Draco Black/Malfoy could make his life a living hell if he wasn't careful.

"I am sorry but his record is against him...I have to take him..." Hagrid snapped up at that moment...the fear in his eyes was palpable and the children caught on as well. They had only ever seen that type of fear on one other person and knew exactly where they were taking him.

"Take me where!? Not Azkaban!? Professor please I didn't do this!" He was practically shouting at that moment and he looked so helpless and scared considering his size but Hagrid was just a big teddy bear.

"Cornelius I have to say I feel you are making a mistake..." A knock interrupted their conversation and Abraxus Parkinson and Lord Griffin walked into the room with strange smirks on their faces.

"Ah well I see the party has begun without us...I was told I could find the Headmaster here..." He swept into the room with a distaste for his surroundings and the children automatically put up their Occlumency Barriers as the last thing they wanted was this prick getting into their heads.

"Ah, Mr. Potter we meet again...I believe you have had the pleasure of meeting Lord Griffin over the Christmas holidays." The bastard actually smirked at him and Harry wanted desperately to slap him silly.

"Unfortunately I would not exactly call it a pleasure...although we have met albeit not as up close and personal as Draco here! How is the face? Not any permanent damage I see...mmm...pity!" Harry was furious as were the others as this pompous, bigoted arsehole stood in front of them.

"I heard about Miss Granger...shame really that she got caught up in this whole Petrifaction situation..." Ron went to step forward but was held back by Neville's arm and shook his head.

"Well, I am here to present to you all an Order of Suspension to Albus Dumbledore...I am afraid with all of these attacks that the other governors of the board feel you have lost your touch..." A sense of overwhelming panic spread through all of their bodies as Harry and Neville stepped forward and squared their shoulders at the two men.

"Professor Dumbledore is the only thing keeping a lid on this... you're sending him away is condemning children to die...is that the kind of environment you want for your daughter?" Abraxus Parkinson was not an easy man to intimidate but even he could not deny the sheer power emanating from the children in front of him.

"What is it with you people? Are you so starved for attention and something to do you would not only condemn another innocent man to Azkaban...like Sirius! Not only that you are getting rid of the one person in the school that is actually doing something...you are all idiots...most of all you..." Lord Griffin stepped forward almost to intimidate but Abraxus held onto his shoulder to stop his companion from making a huge mistake.

"Listen to your lapdog Lord Griffin or I am sure we can rearrange your face again..." Neville and Draco stood next to Harry are solidarity the former shaking his head.

"Na Harry, why should we make him better looking?" All of the occupants of the room seemed as if they were a little bit unsure about what was happening.

"Everyone just needs to take a little breather...if it is the governor's decision then I shall indeed step down, Minerva will take my place and again you are making a huge mistake with Hagrid..." They were about to usher Hagrid away when Harry threw his arms around him as did the others. Sirius has told Harry stories about Azkaban and he did not want his friend to have to experience that kind of fear and evil. The dementors strip away your memories and try and leave you empty and alone, the idea of the kind and generous half giant alone in a cell in Azkaban filled Harry with heartache.

"Mr. Parkinson, Minister Fudge...can I ask you both a question?" The men at that moment didn't seem to perceive Draco as a threat but that was his first mistake, his second was that he seemed to think they were just going to accept what was happening. "You know there has been attacks in the school, do you know why?" Again the men in question shrugged their shoulders not really understanding, Mr. Parkinson smirked at the boy.

"Do enlighten me, Mr Malfoy..." Draco scoffed at both of the pitiful excuses for men standing in front of him.

"It's Mr. Black now and well it seems that all of those years ago Tom Riddle was the one who set Hagrid up with an Acromantula, I don't know whether you studied Magical Creatures but I am a second year and even I know that particular creature is not able to Petrify people...Hagrid is innocent and when he gets cleared of this ludicrous idiocy I will make it my mission to get his wand reinstated and his legal ability to use magic again restored..." Both men already knew that with Draco's money and influence even at the age of thirteen he could make life very difficult for everyone who stood in his way, that was before either of them knew of the Founders connection. The children would be untouchable after that little tidbit came out.

"Draco stop it...look you don't need to do any of this...it's ok..." The half-giant in question put his hand on the young boy's arm to try and contain him a little bit it didn't even make a dent and he continued on.

"As for the Headmasters farce of a suspension, when this epically blows up in your face then I would advise you to be prepared to face the consequences of your actions right now...this creature is attacking Muggle-borns and you all seem to think to remove Headmaster Dumbledore from the school is gonna make one ounce of difference." Draco stepped forward and spread his shoulders a little trying his best to be a little bit more intimidating.

"Tom Riddle is your guy...do you know who he is Minister?" Fudge shook his head as he glanced between the power struggle coming from Abraxus and Draco...the latter obviously winning..."Tom Riddle also goes by the name of Lord Voldemort, who was a half-blood orphan!" Everyone in the room was shocked and kept glancing between each other.

"He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is dead little boy...how can he be responsible..." The two men went to walk away before Harry tapped Lord Griffin in the shoulder.

"I would have thought that ever since Christmas you would have learned your lesson...the company you keep could bite you in the arse someday...I for one hope I am around when it does." The older man sneered at Harry before squaring up to him like an idiot.

"I do hope your girlfriend recovers..." He then turned his attention towards Draco and it seems the man did not learn his lesson the first time. "Give my regards to your mother...tell her if she tires of the dragon trainer boyfriend...I am available..." Luna chose that moment to burst out laughing at him causing every single occupant to turn to her in question.

"I am sorry...Narcissa Black has finer taste than that Lord Griffin...One would not expect you to understand considering it has been a long time since you had anything fine in your life." Causing goosebumps to erupt from the children's arms he took three calculated steps towards her causing Neville to step behind her in support.

"Little girl...you are way out of your depth...let me tell you about Narcissa Malfoy. Lucius was not shy about talking about his wife...he was deprived, sick and most of all very heavy-handed...she is used to being treated like a whore by her own husband so why on earth should I treat her as anything else now?" Luna was furious she stepped closer to this idiot of a man and glanced between himself and Abraxus who looked like he also wanted to slap his companion in the face fortunately for them Luna beat him to it and drew back her fist and punched him again causing everyone to gasp as he fell down.

"Let's all just calm down...we are getting off topic here a little...Albus, please don't make us force you to leave..." The Headmaster shook his head and went to walk out the door before gesturing for the children to follow. Lord Griffin was picked up and sneered at by the rotund face of Abraxus Parkinson and they all vacated the hut.

The children held onto Hagrid as he was led to the school gates where Kingsley and Dora were waiting with both looking thoroughly pissed off at the fact that they had to do this.

"Shaklebolt...Nymphadora..." They Both just walked up to Hagrid and nodded their heads before escorting the man away with small waves to the children who were equally as pissed. As the children ignored the others once Hagrid was gone they all made their way to their Common room but what they found was frightening. The portrait door opened to reveal the entire place ransacked, books lying on the ground and papers are strewn across the room. The ink was spilled over the floor, Harry immediately ran up to his bedroom and knew what had happened, the diary they were planning to bring to Sev was gone and now they had an occlumency lesson and following not only the Hagrid thing but now the missing diary they were all a little bit distracted.
