Chapter 49
"What are you going on about now Granger?" Neville asked angrily as he tightened his hold on Ron, "What has you doing a very impression of a harpy?"
"He has betrayed us!" Hermione screeched out angrily as she shook the letter madly in front of them, "This letter is addressed to Harry from the Dark Lord himself! Why is he calling Harry his grandson for? Why is he asking you to visit him for?"
"A better question is how you got hold of that letter if it is addressed to Harry?" Ron snapped out as he pulled out of Neville's hold and snatched the letter from Hermione.
Using the few seconds of Hermione's surprise Ron quickly checked the letter only to find a small oval rock the weight of an egg falling out of the letter. Not wanting to give Hermione the upper hand or anything else Ron quickly slipped the small rock into his pocket only to be proved it was the correct thing to do as a second later Hermione snatched the letter back out of his hand.
"What has gotten into you Ron?!" Hermione yelled out as she held onto the letter tightly, "Why are you acting so strangely for?"
"I am not acting strange, for the first time in a long time I am thinking clearly," Ron replied angrily only for his words to be ignored.
"Do not worry Ron! I will save you from Potter! I will alert the Headmaster and Professors!" Hermione said causing the tension to grow in the group, "I will make sure that the Headmaster will fix everything!"
Before any of them had a chance to react Hermione marched off towards the Great Hall with her head held high in the air. Fear seemed to swallow Harry up as he clinged to Seto, his new tail curled nervously around his waist while his cat ears lay flat against his head.
"Seto...Grandfather is innocent, he only wants the best for the wizarding world," Harry said worriedly as he felt Seto's hold tighten, "If Granger gives Dumbledore that letter...if things go here way..."
"Don't worry mate, everything will be alright in the end," Ron said as he gave Harry a comforting look, "Maybe we can catch Granger before she gets to the Great Hall?"
"I'll go and see if I can delay her," Mokuba volunteered as he ran off in the direction Hermione had gone in.
Sticking close to their mates Harry, Seto, Ron and Neville quickly followed, all of them hopped that they could catch Granger before she managed to get to the Great Hall. It did not take them too long to catch up to Granger whose journey was being made longer by Mokuba attempting to block her path.
"Granger!" Seto called out as he tried to use his Professor status only to find the muggleborn shot him a dirty look before pushing Mokuba harshly aside and making a mad dash towards the Great Hall.
"Damn, we were so close!" Neville swore as they continued the chase with Hermione only to find that they were growing closer and closer to the Great Hall, "It looks like we did not make it in time, by now Hermione will be entering the Great Hall!"
Looking to his right where Harry was running besides him Seto let out an angry growl when he spotted the fearful expression on his beloved mate's face. Without giving anyone a moment's notice Seto scooped Harry up into his arms and broke out into a full speed run leaving Neville and Ron bringing up the rear. The duo made it just as Hermione entered the Great Hall.
"NO!" Harry shouted out as he pushed himself out of Seto's arms and ran into the Great Hall after Granger only to find that it was too later.
A few seconds later Seto, Neville and Ron came into the Great Hall and joined Harry standing in the middle of the hall watching with horror filled eyes as the know it all girl smugly handed the letter over to the Headmaster.
Dread and fear filled Harry as he watched Dumbledore read the letter, he hopped so badly that his grandfather had put some sort of privacy spell on it but from the disappointed look on the Headmaster's face as he looked up from the letter to Harry it seemed not.
"Mr. Potter, I am very disappointed and angry with you. To think you of all people would turn dark," Dumbledore said causing shocked gasps and whispers to fill the Great Hall, "I would of thought you of all people would never turn to the dark side, to think that you have thrown away so many people's sacrifices and your parents! They died for you and this is how you repay them?"
At Dumbledore's words and the stares of the students and teachers Harry found himself unable to reply. Without looking away from Dumbledore Harry slipped his hand into Seto's hand for support only for it to be spotted by Dumbledore.
"I see...so this is why..." Dumbledore said as he glared darkly at Seto and Harry, "I have never had to use this phrase that was added to the wards before my time but with great emotion I will use it to summon the Auror's so they can apparate into the Great Hall. Donec ut vocaret."
Silence blanketed the Great Hall as tension grew as they awaited for the arrival of the Auror's. Harry tried his best to think up of a way out of the situation he found himself in only to find none. Gulping nervously Harry looked at his friends and mate only to find equally grim looks on their faces.
Biting his lip nervously Harry opened his mouth to speak only to be cut off by loud pops as a large group of Auror's appeared in the Great Hall ready for battle.
"What is going on Headmaster Dumbledore?" Head Auror Thomas Smith asked as he looked around the Great Hall, "Why did you summon my men here for?"
"I demand that you arrest Mr Potter and Professor Kiba," Dumbledore said as he shot Harry and Seto a dirty look, "I have a letter as proof that they have fallen to the Dark side, that Mr. Potter is related to the Dark Lord and they have been helping the Dark side in taking control of Hogwarts."
"Is this true?" Auror Smith asked as he gave the well known saviour a questioning look, "Is the Headmaster speaking the truth or is he-"
"Speaking a load of monkey butts!" a pair of familiar voices called out causing a mixture of relief and horror to hit Seto.
As one everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the Great Hall only to find their two twin lavender eyed Professors with insane grins walking into the Great Hall with Severus Snape in between them.
"And who are you?" Auror Smith asked as he gave the two crazy looking men an unsure look, "You say that the Headmaster is speaking lies?"
"He is and we have proof," Malik answered as he draped himself passively around Severus' shoulders, "It seems that our fellow professor here has been hiding a few things from us. He was under old goat face's control but we freed him!"
"And now he is ours!" Marik said as he licked Severus' neck playfully, enjoying the shiver he caused.
"Would you mind showing me the proof?" Auror Smith asked politely, he had worked the Severus Snape several times whenever an abused child in his house, not many knew it but Severus Snape was a protective mother bear when he needed to be so he knew he could trust Snape.
"Yes...I was worried that something might happen to me so I wrote everything down as soon as I could after finding things out," Severus said as he pulled out a black note book from within his robes and handed it over to Auror Smith, "I made sure to put everything down in there, it shows just who is the true Dark Lord."
From his spot at the head table Dumbledore found his grasp on the war and his pawns slowly disappering which only speeded up when he recognised the black note book his spy was handing over. It was the only Severus was always writing in during Order meetings and his free time, when asked about it Severus would only reply that he was writing up the last Death Eater meeting but he should of known better. As Auror Smith turned and looked at him sommonly Dumbledore knew that he had finally been found out.
"Albus Dumbledore you are under arrest for being the true Dark Lord, as such Hogwarts will be closed until next year while the Ministry investigates your crimes and the truth of what has happened at Hogwarts," Auror Smith said as he and the other Auror's pointed their wands at Dumbledore, "Professor McGonagall will you be able to take over and make the needed arrangements to keep the students up with their education?"
"I will and I accept," Professor McGonagall said stiffly as she shot a glare at Dumbledore, "Expect the needed paperwork by the end of next week."
With a single nod at the new Headmistress Auror Smith pulled out a small ball and threw it at the Headmaster. Gasps of surprise echoed through the Great Hall as the ball suddenly sprung to life and long thick rope came out of it and tied Dumbledore up before acting like a Portkey and disappearing with the now ex-Headmaster.
"What did you do!" Hermione shrieked out in anger as she marched down the steps from the head table towards the Head Auror, "What was that thing that you threw at the Headmaster! He did nothing wrong. It was all Potter's fault! He is the reason why everything is going wrong for!"
"Mr. Potter is at fault?" Auror Smith asked with a raised eyebrow, it seemed that anger blinded the young witch in front of him causing her to walk straight into his trap.
"Yes! If Potter did what he was meant to do then we would not be in this situation!" Hermione yelled out angrily, her eyes taking on a crazy glint.
Before anyone could react Hermione pulled out her wand and pointed it at a shocked Harry who was reminded of Bellatrix Lestrange. Not caring about everyone watching her or the Auror's close by Hermione knocked in the final nail into her coffin in a brief moment of anger and craziness as she realised that at least four years of hard work had just gone down the drain.
"Crucio!" Hermione yelled out as the spell burst out of her wand and headed towards a frozen Harry.
The next few seconds were a blur of action and confusion for everyone, Seto used his dragon reflexes to pull Harry out of the spell's path while the Auror's quickly arrested Hermione for using an unforgivable and used a second Portkey to send her to a Ministry holding cell. It took a few minutes for everyone to pull themselves together, Minerva took advantage of the situation through and threw up a silencing charm around her, Harry and the others.
"Harry, I am sure that your Grandfather knows of what has happened by now, or will in a few minutes, because of his spies so if you managed to grab the Portkey before Ms. Granger snatched the letter off of you why do you not use it to go and visit your Grandfather?" Minerva suggested before turning to Neville and Ron, "If you agree to behave yourselves and not to attack my husband upon sight you are more than welcome to accompany Harry. I will let your parents and grandmother know that you will be with myself for a few days."
"My Grandfather is the one Dumbledore made everyone think was the Dark Lord," Harry said softly as he gave his two friends a way to get out without any hard feelings, "If you want-"
"As long as we can take Seamus and Dean with us than everything should be fine, we don't want to leave our friends out," Neville said quickly not wanting to upset Harry.
"Mr. Longbottom has a good point, take Professors Ishtar's and Professor Snape as well," Minerva said as a knowing look appeared on her face, "Your grandfather will need some cheering up and some fun and seeing those two with Severus should at least make him laugh. With everyone realising that he never did anything wrong and it is all because of Dumbledore he will need your support."
"Portkey?" Harry asked confused only to be cut off by Ron.
"I found a small rock like item in the letter when I snatched it off of Granger so I hid it in my robe pocket in case it was something important," Ron said as he pulled out the strange object turned Portkey out of his robe pocket.
"Good thinking Mr. Weasley, use that Portkey to get to your Grandfather's home Harry and make sure to take those we talked about," Minerva said as she sent him a pointed look, "When I arrive I want to find all of you, especially you Harry, present and uninjured. I will be right behind you after I have sorted out a few important things here."
"Alright," Harry said as he answered for everyone when he noticed Seto sending Malik and Marik a pointed look.
With one last smile Minerva transformed from loving Grandmother into strict Headmistress and removed the silencing spell around them. Taking a deep breath Minerva stepped forwards and made her first official announcement as Headmistress.
