Arthur got to work early and went straight to the Ministers office. Kingsley was busy with some paperwork when Arthur knocked.
'George found the note hidden in Ginny's room' Arthur started as he walked into the office.
'Thank you Arthur I will get this to Minerva I am just writing a statement to the Prophet banning anymore stories about Harry being written' Kingsley replied.
Arthur lowered his gaze feeling the guilt knowing it was his wife's doing the article ever got printed in the first place.
'Oh George also found this as well' Arthur took the quill form his robes and placed it on the desk.
He left Kingsley to his work hoping that he and George had done some good.
Hermione was contemplating her toast when an owl flew overhead and dropped a letter in front of her.
It was from her parents asking about Harry, they had read the article in the Prophet and wanted to know if there was anything they could do for him.
While she was reading the letter a thought popped into her mind and she gave a shriek of recognition.
'That's it why didn't I think of that before' she scolded and exclaimed at the same time.
Draco looked at her curiously. 'What's it?' he asked cautiously not wanting to cause another shriek.
'I know how Ginny got everyone to think it was Harry that raped her' she whispered not wanting to be overheard.
'How?' Draco was still confused
'I have to go to the library come on I'll need your help you to Neville' it was more of command then a question.
The trio rushed from the hall and headed for the library Hermione muttering under her breath along the way.
Finding a secluded spot towards the back of the library Hermione started pulling books from the shelves at a rapid pace. Draco and Neville were still bewildered by her actions but figured it was safer to just go along with it.
'Before the war I removed my parents memories of me, made them think they were from Australia.
It was so Voldemort wouldn't go looking for them. When I found them the ministry were able to restore their memories of me, and the life they lived in England.
I think Ginny has done something like that to Harry planted a false memory inside his head so people would believe he raped her' Hermione took a breath.
Henry had moved outside the hall and waited when he saw Professor Flitwick leave the staff table and come in the same direction. When the small man appeared Henry tapped him on the shoulder.
'Excuse me Professor Flitwick Sir?' Henry spoke quietly.
'Yes young Henry what can I do for you?' Filius asked
'I need to talk to you Sir its about Harry Potter I think I can help' Henry stuttered
Filius looked as though he was going to faint.
'Come with me Henry' he directed
He led the young boy into a disused classroom and sealed the door.
'What's this about helping Harry Henry?' he asked sternly
The Ravenclaw explained what had happened and how it might help Harry.
'We need to talk to the Headmistress Henry wait here'
Filius bustled from the room sealed the door again and went back to the hall to find Minerva. He spoke in low voice and Minerva asked that he bring the young boy to her office.
As the two Professors left so did Ginny Weasley. Minerva noticed this and made sure she wasn't seen once she had left the hall. Ginny searched everywhere but there was no sign of the Headmistress or Professor Flitwick.
In the safety of her office Minerva conjured a chair and gestured for the young boy to sit down.
'All right Mr. Parker can you tell me what you told Professor Flitwick' she asked kindly.
'Mitchell Reeves and I were on the second floor one night after Halloween. We were sort of snogging near one of the statues' he blushed brightly but knew he had to keep going.
Ginny Weasley was coming out of the girls' bathroom and she saw us and I hid behind the statue so she wouldn't see me. Mitchell went to leave and she grabbed his arm. When he tried to get her to let go she twisted it.
She said that if he didn't do what she said then the whole school would know that he was a sick little freak. He asked her what she wanted him to do.
She said that he had to meet her in the forbidden forest the next day before dinner. If he didn't turn up she would find him and tell everyone.
After she had gone I came out from behind the statue and we went back to the common room.
I tried to talk Mitchell out of going but he said he had no choice. I was going to go with him but only follow so he didn't know I was there.' Henry took a deep breath and continued.
In Potions class on Monday I accidentally mucked up my potion, it was a sleeping one and I was knocked out for a while so I couldn't go with Mitchell.
By the time I woke up in the Infirmary and got back to the common room he was already there.' Henry started to cry.
'He had blood all over his hands and they looked like they had bruises on them' he sobbed.
I asked him if he went to the forest and he said he didn't know what I was talking about.' Henry sobbed harder.
'I didn't know what to do, then when the Minister came and took Harry Potter away I knew something bad had happened.' Tears poured from the boys' eyes.
'I read the article in the paper about Harry and knew that I had to tell someone, Harry saved all of us and I wanted to do something to save him' head in his hands Henry cried loudly.
Professor Flitwick moved over to Henry and placed his arm around the boys shoulder.
'That was a very brave thing you have done Henry Harry will be very grateful to you for helping him' Filius soothed.
'I will talk to Severus and Poppy about the potion mishap, then contact Kingsley' Minerva told the pair.
Filius left the office with Henry. Minerva fire called the Minister.
'I was just about to fire call you myself Minerva' Kingsley claimed when he saw Minerva in the flames.
'A young boy has just come to me with information about Harry, I thought you should know' she explained.
'I'll come through now, I have something to share with you as well.' He stepped into the flames.
Minerva told Kingsley what Henry had relayed to her and Professor Flitwick. He agreed that it was one of the answers they had been looking for.
Before he could share what he knew there was a loud knock at the door.
'Enter' Minerva called.
Draco and Hermione rushed into the office panting and out of breath.
'I know how she made everyone believe it was Harry that hurt her' Hermione panted.
'Explain Miss Granger' Kingsley asked
'She used a combination of the confundus and false memory charms it came to me when I was reading a letter from my parents. I removed their memories of me before the war to keep them safe.
Ginny has placed a false memory inside Harry's head, but has kept the memory of him going into the forest to check the unicorns, which makes think that she used more then one spell'
'You might be on to something Miss Granger but proving it will be hard, Ginny won't admit anything without a fight.' Minerva stated.
'I can speak to the Memory Restorer at the Ministry see if he can help. Does that mean that Hagrid was under a spell too?' Kingsley inquired.
'I think he was under the Imperius curse from what Mr. Bailey said about Hagrid appearing confused for a moment before giving him the note.' Minerva said gravely.
'That means that the other boy may have been imperiused as well?' Kingsley replied not wanting to hear the answer.
'I'm afraid it does Minister' Minerva sighed.
I will head back to the Ministry, but before I do Arthur and George Weasley did a little bit of investigating for me.
They found the note from Hagrid to Harry hidden in Ginny's room under her bed. They also found this quill.' Kingsley handed both items to Minerva.
'That's Harry's Quill' Draco exclaimed.
'How do you know that Mr. Malfoy?' Minerva asked
'On Halloween Harry lost his quill so leant him one of mine, he always chews the end of his and I remember telling him not to chew mine.' Draco answered.
Minerva inspected the end of the quill and found it had been chewed.
'Why would Ginny have his quill?' Kingsley asked slight befuddled.
'So she could blame him for something else no doubt' Hermione said through gritted teeth.
'All quills have the magical signature of their owners. It doesn't matter who uses it that signature will remain the same.' Minerva explained.
'So Ginny took it to frame Harry for something else?' Kingsley asked
'It looks that way yes' Minerva replied.
'I will need to speak to both of the young boys later today Minerva' Kingsley said as he disappeared into green flames.
'I need to speak with Poppy and Severus you two need to get to class, I will speak with you both later' Minerva smiled.
Hermione and Draco and left the office heading to the first class of the day. Hermione was thankful it wasn't potions she wasn't sure she could contain her anger near Ginny.
Minerva spoke to Poppy and she confirmed that Henry was in the infirmary on Monday recovering from the effects of a sleeping draught. She told the Matron she would be at St Mungos and to send her Patronus if anything happened.
Poppy allowed Minerva to use the floo in her office to travel to the hospital. The headmistress thanked her and headed off.
Poppy thought she saw a flash of red outside the entrance, she couldn't be sure so continued on with her work.
