Previously on The Twice Blessed Child…

"Nemesis is the Greek goddess of vengeance and divine retribution." I said

Sirius nods his head.

"She showed up when she felt my need and want to hand out vengeance on everyone. She offered me the chance to be a champion for her and I accepted. I can hand out the justice I see fit to those who have wronged me, my friends, and my family. But I also have to deal out justice for her as well." Harry said

"Okay, so how does that protect your mind?" Sirius asked

"Because as a champion or child of a God or Goddess you don't want anyone figuring out who you are. So I was born with a mind shield, true I can make it stronger or let someone in but other than that no one can get in. But in Harry's case seeing as he was a champion his shield was built on top of what he could have had he built a shield." I said

"Still confused." Sirius said

Remus puts his hand on his forehead and shakes his head.

"I'll explain it to him." Remus said

He grabs Sirius's hand and they turn to head upstairs.


The rest of the holiday break went off very smoothly. I spent most of my time with Sirius and Remus, or with Harry. Harry and I also planned a few things for Voldemort 2.0. Harry, Dudley, and I were currently seated in a compartment on our way back to Hogwarts. Dudley had spent most of his holiday with his Mom.

"So anything interesting happen over break?" Dudley asked

"Sirius blew his top and threatened the entire Weasley family." Harry said

"Harry mentally attacked Snape when he insulted me." I said

"We meet with Voldemort and Ana played him like a fiddle." Harry said

Dudley's eyes grew huge and he looked at me.

"I simply treated him like I have the Minister, which is what I plan on making him." I said

If at all possible Dudley's eye got even bigger.

"You plan on making Voldemort the next Minister of Magic?" Dudley asked

"At least by the end of this year." I said

"Are you mad?" Dudley asked

"Maybe a little, but all the best people are." I said

"You have a plan don't you?" Dudley asked

"Yes, I do. My plan is to play. I'll make Voldemort the Minister and then from there Harry and I will control the Wizarding World." I said

"And what if he, you know doesn't listen to you?" Dudley asked

I just looked at him.

"What it is a valid question." Dudley said

"I'll make him, my mist can bend him to my will. I'd rather him do it willing." I said

"You can be quite evil can't you?" Dudley asked

"You have no idea how evil I can be." I said

The rest of the train ride went by fine. Fred, George, and Lee stopped by and said hi. Neville and Luna came by and joined us for the last hour. All talk of future plans had halted and we simply talked about our holiday.

"My Gran wants to meet you three. She is happy that I have finally made friends." Neville said

"We would love to meet your grandmother." I said

Neville smiled, a voice came over the train saying we would be arriving in 30 minutes.

Harry, Dudley, and I were walking down the hallway on our way to potion class. That class had been different ever since the incident in the kitchen. We had to explain to Dudley what had happened since he had no idea why Snape was acting so different towards us.

"So explain to me again what all this is?" Dudley asked

"Legilimency is the ability to extract thought and or feelings from others." I said

"So mind reading?" Dudley asked

"In some ways, yes but in other ways no. Eye contact is very important. Though if you cast a spell you can force your way into their mind but that could seriously hurt them. But most of the time it is used to view a person's surface thoughts." I said

"So why exactly did Dumbledore think Harry needed help?" Dudley asked

"Because of Harry seeing the attack on Mr. Weasley. Which is weird seeing as Dumbledore doesn't know who saved him. But he wants to be part of this. He thinks that if Harry can get into Voldemort's head then it can work the other way as well." I said

Dudley nods in understanding. We continue down the hallway to class.

We were sitting in potions class and Harry started to act weird. Dudley and keep looking at him. I sent some mist into his mind and saw that Snape was trying to push his way into Harry's mind and Harry was pushing back against him. I saw a few flashes of something. Then Harry pushed hard and Snape was once again forced out of his mind. Harry just started laughing, and Snape acted as if nothing had happened.

"Class dismissed everyone out." Snape said

He waved his wand and everything was gone.

"What is so funny, Potter?" Snape asked

"Other than the lack of your self-preservation." I said

"I've just realized." Harry said

"Realized what, Potter?" Snape asked

"What's in the Department of Mysteries." Harry said

Snape's eyes grow huge and realize what he just let happen.

"What did you say?" Snape asked

"I don't think I misspoke nor was I quite. I know what is in the Department of Mysteries. It would also seem you swore a magical oath to protect me." Harry said

Once again Snape's eyes grew huge. Harry moves so he is right in front of Snape.

"You are lucky I don't kill you here and now seeing as it is your fault that my parents are dead. This is your last warning Snape, do something like that again and I will end you." Harry said

He turned and headed for the door I looked back at Snape and was pleased with the look on his face. I grabbed my bag and followed Harry out of the room. Once were a good distance from the room, we started to talk.

"So they really are protecting the prophecy?" I asked

"Yes, you would think after the you-know-whos introduction into the wizarding society Dumbledore would have moved his lapdogs to find proof." Harry said

"One would think, maybe Dumbledore is in denial about the fact that Mr. V is acting like a true overlord and not an insane man." I said

We continued walking and soon found Dudley and the others.

"Mind explaining what happened?" Dudley asked

"Oh, just our Potions Professor having a death wish. But don't worry he is still alive." I said

"So you said you plan on making him Minister but you didn't say how you planned on doing that." Dudley said

"Usually a wizard has to be 17 and the Lord or Lady of a house that has a seat on the Wizengamot to vote and do anything else. But in the case that you have been considered an adult in the wizarding world you can sit on it sooner. So since Harry and I are both already a Lord and Lady to a few houses we can sit on it. Do you understand?" I asked

"Yes." Dudley said

So I started telling Dudley that I had already started the plan.

Flashback…

This was going to be the first Wizengamot of not only the new year but the first time Harry and I were going to be joining, as well as Voldemort 2.0. Sirius had already been serving on since he was cleared by the healer. Harry and I were standing outside the door waiting for the Wizengamot to come to the part of the meeting where new members were called. A few moments go by and another man walks up behind us. I looked behind me and smiled.

"We were wondering when you would show up." I said

"I had to deal with a…problem." he said

"But the problem has been handle?" Harry asked

"Yes." he said

"And did everything go okay with the goblins?" I asked

"Yes, everything is set up, nothing less than the Goblin King could change or undo it. How did you get so close to the goblin nation?" he asked

I simply looked at him.

"It's time to go in." Harry said

I turned back around and the doors opened and we entered. I could see looks of shock on quite a few faces.

"Okay, it would seem that we have three new people here to claim seats." the man said

The same man that had tried to convict Harry and I not four months ago.

"Please come up one by one and state your name." he said

Harry walked up first. He went to open his mouth but was stopped by Dumbledore.

"My boy, you must be a Lord to claim seats." Dumbledore said

"The moment Harry and I had to compete in the Tri-Wizard Cup we became adults in the eyes of magic." I said

"Which mean that I can claim all my Lordships," Harry said

Dumbledore looked upset for a moment, knowing that he will soon lose the seats that he was using in the name of the Potter House.

"Harry James Potter, Lord of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Potter and Peverell." Harry said

Six of the seats in the hall glowed gold. Harry smiled and made his way towards them. I took notice that the court was divided most of the Dark were on one side and the Light on the other. While there were a few in the middle. The Potter and Peverell ones seemed to be part of the section that was in the middle.

"Next." the man said

I stepped up and stood where Harry was once standing.

"I'm Anastasia Morningstar. Lady to the Most Noble and Most Ancient House Ravenclaw, Ambrosius, and Pendragon." I said

Twelve seats glowed gold and they were in the middle and a little bit closer to the dark side. I moved so I was now seated by Harry. I could tell the Dumbledore was even madder. Now all he had was the Gryffindor and Slytherin votes and those weren't a lot. The Dumbledore family didn't have any seats. So after this next person, he would only have two votes. The one from Hufflepuff and then the one he gets as the old Chief.

"Next." the man said

"Marvolo Slytherin, Lord of the Most Noble and Ancient House of Slytherin." Marvolo said

His two seats glowed gold. Dumbledore's eyes grew huge, and he became pale as he realized who was standing in front of him and all of the Wizengamot. He simply smiled and moved up to his seats which happened to be mostly in the dark section but was still close to Harry and I. The rest of the meeting when one there was nothing really to vote on. When the meeting was done we all moved to leave. Harry, Marvolo, and I were talking with a few others. When Dumbledore came walking up to us he grabs Harry and my arm and pulls us away.

"Please unhand us." I said

"No, I will be bringing you two back to Sirius." Dumbledore said

"Mr. Dumbledore, I do believe they asked you to let them go." Marvolo said

Dumbledore moved the two of us behind him and faced Marvolo. By now people had started to look our way.

"What is going on over here?" Fudge asked

I had not noticed him enter the room.

"Harry and Anastasia were talking with Marvolo and a few of the members about what has been happening in the past meetings when Dumbledore came over and grabbed ahold of the two and moved them away from the group. Anastasia asked for her to be let go, but he refused." the man said

"Is this true Anastasia?" Fudge asked

"Yes sir." I said

"How dare you lay your hands on someone that is not only above your station, but a child who is also a student in your school. You are on thin ice Dumbledore." Fudge said

Fudge then turned to face us.

"How was your first meeting?" Fudge asked

"It was great Minister, I'm so glad that I'm able to contribute to the wizarding world in such a great way." I said

Fudge smiled at me.

"What about you Mr. Potter how was your first meeting?" Fudge asked

"It was great Minister, I read in my mother's journal that my father had hoped to do it in his time but never got the chance. So I'm glad I can do it in his honor." Harry said

And with that sentence, every light person within hearing distance teared up at it and now fully believed that Harry was still light and still on their side. The minister smiled at Harry and then looked behind us both. We turn our heads to see him looking at Marvolo.

"I don't remember ever meeting you? What is your name?" Fudge asked

"I'm Marvolo Slytherin, I've been traveling and finale decided to come home and do my lordly duty." Marvolo said

"Don't listen to him, Minister. He's Tom Riddle Jr, and he is Voldemort. Riddle was a direct descendant of the Slytherin line." Dumbledore yelled

Almost the entire room flinched at the mention of the Dark Lord. While those that were members of the dark sect started to slowly move closer to see if that was true. The Minister glared at him.

"He is telling to the truth in some aspect. I will admit that this Riddle person is a relative of mine, though he is a very, very, very distant one. However I have never met him, nor do I ever wish to what he has done is horrible, and had I known him and had he still been alive he would have been cast out of the family." Marvolo said

Those that were dark looked horrified at what was just said, but I noticed something flash over his eyes and soon those that were dark did a small flinch.

"Don't lie you know who you are. Harry doesn't your scar hurt? You know what Voldemort looked like, and that he is back." Dumbledore yelled again

In one motion the entire room turned and looked at Harry.

"You are right I do know what Voldemort looked like as Tom Riddle, and he is not him. On the notion of Voldemort being back, who knows what I saw when Cedric died, I had just watched my friend die." Harry said

As Harry finished a tear rolled down his cheek. I pulled Harry into a hug.

"It's okay Harry. When he thinks about what happened to Cedric, he then thinks about his parents' death. I think it is time we leave. I'll see you later, Minister." I said

"I'll follow you guys out. As I don't like being accused of things I didn't do, and who I am." Marvolo said

The Minister wiped around and glared even more at Dumbledore.

"I don't want to hear you speak of you-know-who ever again in my presence or theirs. That was the final straw. You accuse that man of being him again I will see to it that you are thrown in Azkaban…"

We could still hear the Minister yelling at Dumbledore as we left the room. We heard the sound of someone following us we move to the side and soon Lucius Malfoy is in front of us. He raises an eyebrow at the three of us. He puts his hand over his chest and bows and then leaves.

"Well, that went horribly." Marvolo said

"Actually it went exactly like it thought it would." I said

"Really?" he asked

"Yes it did, but I will say that I didn't he would do it in front of the Minister." I said

"What else do you have planned?" he asked

"Oh I have plans for everything, then I have plans for the plans." I said

"I like that." he said

We got to the main atrium and went our separate ways. But not before Voldemort told us when his next meeting was going to be.

END OF FLASHBACK

"I would have thought that Dumbledore would be smart enough to not do that in front of so many people." Dudley said

"Well he wasn't and it worked like a charm. Those that were light now look at Marvolo as some that could be good and not for what his last name is." I said

"But what about the dark?" Dudley asked

"Well, he told us about his next meeting where he plans on showing a few chosen his new face." Harry said

Dudley nodded his head and we continued down the hall to another pointless class with Umbridge. Dobby was still keeping us up to date on what was going on with Ron and Hermione. It would seem that they weren't making much progress. I did feel somewhat bad that the fifth year and ups weren't learning anything but oh well.

We were headed to the common room when we noticed a bunch of people surrounding the courtyard. I noticed Draco looked very smug.

"What did you do this time Draco?" Harry asked

Draco glared at us.

"I didn't do anything. It would seem that Umbridge is sacking Trelawney." Draco said

"Did you know about this?" Harry whispered in my eye

"I gave her the go-ahead to sack anyone she deemed fit, and if I didn't agree I would reinstate them." I whispered back

Flinch is putting her luggage in the courtyard.

"Sixteen years I've lived and taught here! Hogwarts is my home! You can't do this!" Trelawney said in tears

Umbridge hands Trelawney an order of dismissal.

"Actually, I can." Umbridge said

McGonagall arrives and tries to comfort Trelawney, Umbridge looks at McGonagall.

"Something you'd like to say, dear?" Umbridge asked

"Oh, there are several things I would like to say!" McGonagall said

Dumbledore arrives furiously.

"Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside?" Dumbledore asked

"Sybil, dear, this way." McGonagall said

Trelawney shakes Dumbledore's hand.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" Trelawney said

"Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree #23, as enacted by the Minister…" Umbridge said

"You have the right to dismiss my teacher. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds! That power remains with the headmaster!" Dumbledore said

"For now it remains with you. However, it also remains with the Lady Hogwarts who I have met. You may be the Headmaster right now Dumbledore, but I heard about what happened at the last Wizengamot meeting." Umbridge said

Umbridge smirks and then leaves the courtyard.

"Don't you all have class." Dumbledore said

We all moved away from the courtyard.

"So who do you think is going to replace her?" Dudley asked

"No, clue. But knowing our oaf of a Headmaster no one good." Draco complained

"I don't think she will get replaced. The Ministry believes that her class is pointless. Fudge will most likely just write the class off." I said

We walked in silence for a few moments.

"So I'm walking with two very important and powerful people." Draco said

Harry and I stopped walking and looked at Draco.

"Please don't let that get around. We have enough problems without that getting out." Harry said

Draco just nodded his head and we continued down the hall. We didn't make it far before we were stopped by Ron and his newest group of butt buddies.

"You really have left us. You're hanging out with nasty snakes. Your parents would be ashamed of you for even speaking to someone like him." Ron said

There were quite a few people that had stopped and were now listening.

"Ron I would like for you to meet a common retaliative of ours." Harry said

Ron went red.

"I AM NOT RELATED TO THAT PIECE OF SLIMY GIT" Ron yelled

"Actually you are don't you remember the talk we had with your father being related to them. Well, Draco's mom is a Black, Harry's Grandmother is a Black. Thus relatives." I said

Ron got even madder and in true Ron, fashion drew his wand and fired off a spell at Harry. Who in turn threw up a shield, Ron went to fire another spell when he was stopped by Umbridge herself.

"What is going on here?" She asked

"Professor I'm so glad you showed up. we were simply walking down the hall on our way to study for your class. When Weasley here stopped is. Then shot off a spell at us." Draco said

Umbridge turned and looked at us.

"Is that true, Potter and Morningstar?" Umbridge asked

"Yes, Professor it is. Not only did he attack Harry but he also insulted Harry's parents who gave their lives to protect him." I said

I look to Harry who looks very sad at the thought of his parents. Umbridge also looks at Harry, and then quickly turns to face Ron and his little friends.

"It would seem that me taking away your weekend privileges wasn't enough. Detention for the next month with me and if that doesn't make you behave I will have to use more extreme measures." Umbridge said

Ron paled and then quickly ran off, Umbridge smirked and then turned to face us.

"Potter, Morningstar, Dursley, and Malfoy please come with me." Umbridge said

"Of course." I said

She started to walk down the hallway towards her classroom. Once we entered her classroom we followed her up to her office, she quickly say down behind her desk. She motioned for us to sit down, and for the next hour, we had to hear her talk about her cats, the minister, and her utter HATE for half-breeds. We were only able to leave because it was now dinner time. We split up once we got to the Great Hall. Once we sat down we were soon jumped upon by the twins.

"Why didn't you tell…" George started

"…us that you…" Fred continued

"…were so close to…"

"…everyone's least…"

"…favorite DADA teacher?" they finished together

"Were not, she simply believes that she saved us from Ron and that we have an understanding." Harry said

"Which is fine, I mean if she believes we are with her and like-minded then all the better." I said

"How very Slytherin of you two." Fred said

Dinner had just started when hundreds of owls came flying in and started dropping Daily Prophets. Whispers broke immediately I picked up my copy to see why there was such outrage.

"Look at this. There's been a mass escape from Azkaban." Hermione yelled from the far end of the hall.

"Bloody hell." Ron yelled

"Leave it to those two to make such a noise." I said

I look down at the front page to see that it shows a picture of ten witches and wizards.

"They are all Death Eaters." Someone else yelled

"I didn't think he had it in him." I whispered to Harry

"Nor did I." Harry whispered back

The rest of dinner was rather silent most didn't want to say anything about the fact that Azkaban had been broken into and that so many dangerous people had been let out. I did feel sorry for poor Neville as Bellatrix and her husband had been let out and they were the ones that had hurt his parents.

Harry, Dudley, and I were sitting in the library studying when Draco and his buddies came towards us.

"What's up Draco?" I asked

"Umbridge sent us to get you and bring the three of you to the Headmaster's office." Draco said

"Well, we better not keep her waiting." I said

We quickly packed up, and left the library, and made our way to the Headmaster's office.

"Any idea on why she wishes to see us?" Harry asked

"Yes, we broke into the room of requirement earlier today and found Dumbledore's Army. Hermione and Ron who were the clear leaders, and when we went to question them Ron said the entire thing was Harry and that he simply skipped today's meeting." Draco said

"Of course he did." Harry said

It did not take us much longer to reach the gargoyle where Umbridge, Ron, and Hermione were waiting. We then headed up the office as a group. When the door opened the Minister a few others including Dumbledore. Umbridge hands the list of names to the Minister.

"And see, Dumbledore's Army proof of what I've been telling you right from the beginning, Cornelius." Umbridge said

We then are moved to the side of the room. Harry, Draco, Dudley, myself, and a random Slytherin were on one side. While Ron, Hermione, a few ex-Gryffindors, and a few more Slytherin's were on the other side.

"All your fear-mongering about You-Know-Who never fooled us for a minute. We saw your lies for what they were: a smokescreen for your bid to seize control of the Ministry." Umbridge said

"Naturally." Dumbledore said

"No, professor. He had nothing to do with it. It was all Harry." Ron said

Everyone looks towards Harry who shakes his head no.

"Most noble of you, to shield me, but as it has been pointed out the parchment clearly says "Dumbledore's Army", not "Potter's". I instructed Harry to form this organization. And I, and I alone, am responsible for its activities." Dumbledore said

"Dispatch an owl to the Daily Prophet. If we hurry, we should still make the morning edition. Dawlish, Shacklebolt, you will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban to await trial for conspiracy and sedition." Fudge said

As Fudge finished Umbridge and Dawlish step up. Dumbledore who had once been sitting on his desk stands up.

"I thought we might hit this little snag." he said

He then moved to stand behind his desk.

"You seem to be laboring under the delusion that I'm going to…what was the phrase…come quietly. Well, I can tell you this, I have no intention of going to Azkaban." Dumbledore said

As Dumbledore talked Umbridge, Fudge, and Dawlish had been inching closer to the desk.

"Well, this is going to be interesting." I said

"Enough of this. Take him." Umbridge said

A screech is heard and Fawkes coming flying in. Fawkes stops above Dumbledore's head, he reaches up and with both hands and clasps them together. He and Fawkes disappear with a blast of light and a blast of magic. Umbridge, Fudge, and Dawlish are thrown to the ground. Shacklebolt helps Fudge stand but there is no point as he is gone.

"Well, you may not like him, Minister but you can't deny Dumbledore has got style." Shacklbolt said

Fudge just stares at him but then whips around to look at Harry and I.

"What do you two have to say for yourselves?" Fudge asked

"That those people over are lying. We had nothing to do with this army of theirs." Harry said

"And if you look at the paper our name is not on it." I said

Fudge holds out his hand and Umbridge hands him the list of names. He then proceeds to read over it.

"So your name is not on it that does not mean you weren't part of it." Fudge said

"Are you calling me a liar, Minister?" I asked

The room is quiet for a moment and I simply look at the Minister.

"Answer me." I said

"No, I am not calling you a liar. I know how much you and Mr. Potter dislike the Headmaster." Fudge said

"Glad to see that we have solved this little issue. I do plan that we don't ever have this type of miscommunication again." I said

We both then turn to face Umbridge.

"It was nice of you to include us but we will be going now as we have lots of studying to do." Harry said

"We also do so hope that you punish those that should deserve it." I said

As we moved to leave the room, I stopped so I was standing right next to the Minister.

"We will talk about this later." I whispered

I saw him pale and I moved on and out the door.

In the few days since Umbridge became acting Headmistress, she had passed 118 more educational decrees.

"Are you really going to let her do all this?" Dudley asked

"As long as she doesn't affect the learning and is not cruel I really couldn't care." I said

We continued to walk and stopped when we heard Umbridge's voice.

"Boys and girls are not permitted to be within eight inches of each other."

"Those wishing to join the Inquisitorial Squad for extra credit…"

"Students will be submitted to questioning about suspected illicit activities."

"Any student in noncompliance will be expelled."

When Flinch started to remove the paintings I did send an elf to chew him out and then proceeded to use magic to remove them without harming the people inside.
