Protecting His Bookworm
Chapter Twenty-Eight
The Wizarding Council
Harry walked around the lake in thought hoping that his meeting with the Wizarding Council would go well, because the vote of the council members would help Arthur as minister. The minister is only strong as the team that's behind him. He stopped and turned and looked out at the Black Lake with a heavy sigh. He'd worked on his speech for a week and half. He still thought it wouldn't win over the council. The Potters' may have great deal of power in the government, but the view of their actions is what defind the family. He wanted his parents proud of him even though they weren't alive. Harry had to prove to the council members that he wasn't a child and capable of the responsibilities of government. He was tired of being known as the-boy-who-lived. It was getting old. Harry wanted to make a mark in the government just as those before him.
Kara walked up to her grandson and rested a hand on his shoulder. Harry turned his head and said, "Granny what if the council don't listen and just see me as a child. What if they don't agree with my decision of Arthur being the next Minister of Magic. I have so much to do."
Kara walked around and stood in front of her grandson. "Harry, you are strong man. You will show them that Arthur is the right man for the job and the marriage law will be removed. You have so much of your father in you. Harry you made the staff believe you are not a child. The council will be the same." He only nodded. Kara pulled him into her arms and held him close. He sighed and relaxed. "We'll all be in that court room and be behind you 100 percent." she whispered and he nodded.

Harry stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel round his waist. He removed the fog from the minor. He was facing the Wizarding Council in few short hours. He took a deep breath. "This is going to be hell. At lest Albus is on council along with Luicus and Gramps. That's a plus. Look at me talking to my self. You've really cracked Potter." He shook his head walked out of the bathroom.
Harry smiled. Hermione had laid out his dress robes on the bed. He sighed and slipped on his robes and shoes. He left the dorm.

Harry sat down at his desk in the teacher's lounge and pulled the folder that held his speech. Hermione walked into the room and quietly sat his cup off coffee down in front of him. He smiled and thanked his wife.
Hermione sat down at the desk across from her husband and read over some of the school's old documents to get an idea what needed to be changed, because she had been having other things on her mind. She was mainly worried about Harry. She sighed and rest her hand on her stomach in thought. She jumped when there was a knock on the door frame. Harry looked up and saw Sirius.
The marauder smiled and said, "Come on Harry, it's time to face the big boys." He sighed and helped Hermione out of her seat. They followed Sirius down the hall. "Don't worry Harry you'll do just fine. Snape is watching Faith so Jane is coming along. I swear I would have never thought I'd see the day that Snape would want to watch a child."
"People change, Padfoot." Remus said, taking Jane's hand and kissed her on the nose. He smiled at his mate. "Let's get moving." They nodded and left the castle.

The family took their seats in the visitors box. The court sat waiting for the meeting to begin. Remus squeezed Hermione hand. She turned her head and smiled.
Harry opened the door and walked into the court room with his black robes blowing behind him. He stopped at the podium and sat his folder down and he looked around the room. "Witches and Wizards of the Wizarding Council, we are here to discuss the next minister of magic." He addressed and opened the folder. "We have been manipulated by Cornelius Fudge for years. He used the people as chess pieces to play his game." Harry was interrupted by laughter. "Now it's time to set things right, by swearing in a new minister of magic. One that will help the wizarding world and reinstate the laws that have been forgotten and veto those that were improperly instated."
"Who do you have in mind Lord Potter?" asked Madame Sharp.
"Lord Harold Potter, Luicus Malfoy and my self had made a list of candidates, but the list was rather short. The man we chose is Arthur Weasely." The room broke out in chaos. "Order." Harry called. "Order!" The room grew silent. "Thank you. Please raise your hands for those see fit that Arthur Weasely should be sworn in as minister." Harry's eyes shined when he saw all the council members raise their hands. "Than Arthur Weasely will be sworn in as minister of magic after Christmas. Thank you council members. " Harry said closed his folder and left the court room.

Harry sat his shaking body down on the bench behind him. He ran his hands through his hair making it stick up even more. He sat back with a heavy sigh grateful for the meeting to be over. Hermione sat down next to her husband. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. He gave her weak smile.
"You did a great job love." Hermione said and pulled him into his arms. He blew out a shaky breath. "Mr. Weasely will sworn in as the next minister and things will turn out alright in the end." Harry nodded his head.
He stood up when the family walked out of the court room. Kara took her grandson into her arms. She kissed his forehead. Harold smiled and pulled Harry into a hug. Jane pulled him into a tight hug. Harry gasped for air.
Sirius chuckled, "Good work Harry." he ruffled his hair. He pulled back and smiled.
Remus patted Harry on the back. He smiled and took his wife's hand. They all headed back to Hogwarts grateful that it was over.
