Yeah, I'm just gonna leave

"But she's carving my hand open every night Professor! Surely something can be done?" Harry exclaimed
"I'm sorry Mr Potter" Professor McGonagall replied "but my hands are tied here. The Minister would get involved and just make all the charges disappear"
"I should have known you'd do nothing. I did this for Hermione despite me knowing what the outcome would be. I really didn't want to believe it, but I've been proven right yet again about people who are supposed to care about students won't if there's no benefit for them." Harry said getting up
"20 points from Gryffindor Mr Potter for disrespecting a teacher" McGonagall retorted
"Take 50. I really couldn't care less anymore" Harry said walking out as she called after him
As the door closed Harry called out "Dobby, are you there?"
"I is here Mr Harry Potter Sir! What can Dobby be doing for the Great Harry Potter?" Dobby said appearing from nowhere
"Go tell Mr Blackstock to go ahead with the plans. I'm done with this place" Harry said
"Yes Sir Mr Harry Potter sir!" Dobby said disappearing
After a fitful night's sleep in the Room of Requirement Harry made his way down to the Great Hall for breakfast. As he sat down a shadow loomed over him.
"Once you've finished with your breakfast Harry you are required to see me in my office so we can talk about your behaviour last night" Professor Dumbledore said looking down at him over his glasses with disappointment.
"No, I don't think so" Harry replied "I don't really care what you have to say anymore Dumbledore. You and McGonagall have made it perfectly clear that you don't care about your students being harmed over the last 5 years, you being the main one. So, you can look as disappointed as you like at me. I just don't care anymore"
"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed "show some respect!"
"Respect Is earned Granger. And I have none for someone who actively condones torture on students. I told you what would happen. I told you they would do nothing. But because you always have to be right, I gave in. Well, you were wrong as you often are, and I was right. So as of today," Harry said getting up and looking at Dumbledore "I will no longer be a Hogwarts student. I refuse to pay for substandard teaching anymore. It costs 8000 galleons a year to come here and for 5 years I've had to pay for a greasy haired Death Eater insult my dead parents every single time I go to his class while you sit on your arse letting him do it, three out of the past five DADA teachers have tried to kill me, the current one is looking like going the same way, every year I get into situations where my life is on the line, I'm ridiculed by staff and students alike for things I have no control over like being a Parselmouth so I'm done Dumbledore. You'll receive a letter off my solicitor tomorrow demanding the return of my tuition."
"As your magical guardian I'm afraid I'll have to overrule you on that one. Come to my office at once!" Dumbledore thundered leaking aura
"Ah but you're not my Magical Guardian, are you?" Harry replied. "You tried to usurp Sirius' position but was never able to get it pushed through without revealing certain information, were you?"
"What Information?" someone called across the hall
"The fact that Sirius Black never got a trial, he was just flung into Azkaban prison on the word of Barty Crouch, Bagnold and Dumbledore here." Harry said, "with Sirius out of the way and my Godmother incapacitated by Death Eaters Dumbledore here used all his political clout to get himself named as my guardian so he could ship me off to my magic hating muggle family and no one questioned it."
"Why would Dumbledore do that?" Flitwick piped up
"Because of who I'm heir to" Harry replied
"The Potter family?" Ron asked
"I'm not just heir to the Potter family am I Old Man?" Harry asked
"This is not the time or place for this discussion Mr Potter! I must insist you come to my office at once!" Dumbledore exclaimed
"But Why? Were all friends here, aren't we? Come on Old Man, let the good people know who I'm heir to" Harry said smiling viciously
"I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about Mr Potter" Dumbledore said
"Time for a history lesson then!" Harry retorted. "Everyone knows I'm heir to the Potter family. And through my Fathers' line I can trace it back to the Peverell's, who in turn can trace the line back to one Lucia Gryffindor, sister of Godric. Now Godric was married to Rowena but their only daughter Helena was murdered without having children, so their line ended there. The line of Gryffindor though endured through his sister eventually getting to my father." Harry looked around seeing everyone hanging onto his every word. "So now we come to my mother, and I'm sure you're all thinking 'but Harry, your mother was a muggleborn' but you'd be wrong"
"Stop lying Potter" Snape spat "I grew up in the same neighbourhood as your mother and I knew her family! They were muggles!"
"And there he is! The Death Eater speaks and yet again talks about things he has no idea about" Harry said "My mother was placed with the Evans family, and she died without ever finding out about her true lineage, isn't that right Dumbledore? Because you were the one to place her there. You spent most of your adult life looking for a particular line so you could end it and when you found my mother you couldn't believe your luck could you? But you just couldn't kill her, could you? Despite how murdery your boyfriend was you couldn't bring yourself to do it, so you decided that 'out of sight out of mind' was the best approach so you stole her away and placed her with muggles not realising that she'd one day come to Hogwarts. During that time, she was growing up you destroyed any documents you could find about her true lineage so that she would never figure it out. And it worked!"
"Hang on Potter, there's a few things in that that don't make any sense" Draco said "first, his boyfriend? Secondly who was the family and lastly how did you find out if Dumbledore destroyed evidence?"
"Wow Malfoy. I didn't know you had half a brain in that nut of yours" Harry teased
"Shut up Potter and answer the questions!" Malfoy said flushing
"Ok. First of all, did you ever wonder how Dumbledore broke his nose? His brother did it at his sisters' funeral. You see growing up he had a lover but had a falling out with him when he got into a three-way duel that resulted in her death. If you don't believe me, go talk to his brother. Aberforth runs the Hogs Head in Hogsmeade and has a picture of Ariana on the wall behind the counter. The other wizard in the duel was none other than Gellert Grindelwald" earning gasps from around the hall
"Why are you doing this Harry" Dumbledore asked pained at the memories being dragged up "why are you trying to punish me like this?"
"I'm getting there Old Man. Like I said people go ask Aberforth. Now, to your next question Malfoy. The family is the Riddle family"
"No! please tell me you're lying Harry" Ginny shouted at him
"Afraid not Ginevra" Harry replied insincerely
"Hang on Potter, the Riddle family are not a pureblood family! Being raised a proper pureblood" Draco said sneering "I would know!"
"I'm glad you just said that Malfoy. Listen to what he said folks 'the Riddles aren't a pureblood family'. Eloquently put Draco. But I assure you all you all know who the head of the family is" Harry said withdrawing his wand
Using the spell he saw Tom do in his second year he drew TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE in the air in flames and swiped it to rearrange the letters into I AM LORD VOLDEMORT
"So, you see Malfoy the man you worship, the man your daddy gets on his knees to kiss his robes is not a pureblood. He's the son of a near squib and a Muggle and the product of a love potion!" Harry said
"You're Voldemorts grandson?" Snape exclaimed "and you knew this?" he said turning to Dumbledore "why did you do this?"
"Oh that's easy Snape" Harry said "with me being heir to Gryffindor through my father and Heir to Slytherin through my mother I'd have 50% ownership rights over Hogwarts. Helga's line was carried on through her son and lasted up until about 30 years ago when Voldemort killed Hepzibah Smith, framing her house elf Hokey for the crime so he could steal the two Founders Artifacts she'd bought off Mr Borgin. So if all the heirs die then transfer or ownership of Hogwarts goes to the current Headmaster. Don't worry Dumbledore, I got all of the artifacts this summer and even cleaned the one out of me in the process" he said turning to Dumbledore who looked ashen
"You got them all? How many were there? How did you locate them? Why wasn't I told?" Dumbledore exclaimed
"Six, seven including me. But that's a different story altogether. It's an interesting thing really, and Malfoy this will hopefully answer your last question too" Harry said "but when you locked me in Durkaban for the summer I'd decided I'd had enough of fake friends and even faker adults who were supposed to look after me. So, on a whim I called for Dobby. To my great surprise he appeared, and he agreed to help me out. Did you know dumbledore that house elf magic doesn't register with the Ministry of Magic? So, all summer he's been popping me to places. The first place I went to was Gringotts to get some money. Imagine my surprise when they told me they'd been trying to get in touch with me since Hallowe'en last year, but you'd blocked them at every turn! Screening my mail. Tut tut. You see this is where you really messed up Old Man. Because you, Crouch and Bagman told me I had to compete in a tournament designed for adults you unintentionally made me of age in the eyes of magic. As you were the Head of the Wizengamot and they were both department heads magic took that as confirmation that the British Ministry agreed I was mature enough to be an adult to be able to compete. And in doing so you emancipated me, letting me claim my lordships and in doing so be free from your influence. So, I claimed the Potter, Peverell, Gryffindor and Slytherin lordships all at the same time."
"That's impossible Potter! Everyone knows the Dark Lord is the Heir of Slytherin" Snape said
"Ah that's another interesting story. According to the Goblins I could claim it through right of Conquest as I'd faced him and beaten him in either a face-to-face confrontation or held him to a stalemate in a duel, I could claim the Slytherin lordship. So, I did. I also found out why he couldn't kill me that night on Hallowe'en. And it doesn't really have anything to do with my 'mothers love'" he said snorting derisively at Dumbledore "You see Salazar was a sneaky bastard. He knew that his sons would likely kill him to gain the headship so he used a particular piece of magic which meant that the lord of Slytherin could not kill the last heir and vice-versa. It was his way of ensuring that his line carried on. Now, as Voldemort didn't know he was my mothers' father when he killed her, he made me the last remaining heir to the Slytherin line meaning outside of doing each other serious harm we can't kill each other. If we force the issue Magic will intervene again and likely kill us both
Now we fast-forward to when I was liberated from Durzkaban to go to my other prison. I met up with Sirius at night in secret telling him everything I knew and had found out. I had Dobby pop him to Gringotts where he claimed the Black headship, which he could do as when Regulus was killed Arcturus reinstated him to the family line. I had him claim back the dowry from Lestrange and seize her vault disowning her in the process. By the way Neville" Harry said turning to said boy "the Lestrange vault was handed over to the Longbottom family in reparations for what was done to your family. Please tell Augusta next time she goes to Gringotts to claim it. Sirius has left directions for it to be done and is currently writing her a letter telling her so."
"Thank you, Harry" Neville said quietly
"Sirius Black is a criminal! Just wait until I tell the minister that you've been harbouring a fugitive Potter" Umbridge exclaimed
"Well, you see Umbitch" Harry said earning gasps around the hall "to be a criminal you first have to be charged with something. And as Sirius never had a trial, he can't very well be considered a criminal now, can he? But please do, tell the minister. And he can explain in front of the next Wizengamot meeting, of which we will both be there by the way, why he tried to get the Lord of a Most Ancient and Most Noble house murdered by Dementors Kiss on absolutely no evidence. He can also explain why he's been taking bribes off Death Eaters at the same time.
"I will not tolerate slander of the Minister! what evidence do you have of these accusations" Umbridge asked
"Well, you see when I was talking with the Goblins, they happened to accidentally put a transaction slip inside one of my files. And do you know it was a 'donation' from one Lucius Malfoy for 2000 galleons a few days before his own trial where he claimed the Imperious defence. And again a few days before my trial was changed from a simple under-age magic to a full Wizengamot trial there was another one for 1000 galleons. And do you know good Old Cornelius never told the tax office about this? Mightily suspicious don't you think?
"So now were coming to the end of this rather long-winded monologue" Harry said smiling "despite Dumbledore playing arsonist with my mothers' family records the Goblins have all the originals so when I claimed the lordships I looked them over, showed them to my family lawyer and we agreed to see what happens this year at Hogwarts and whether or not I would go public with them. McGonagall refusing to do her job, again was the last straw for me. I refuse to come to a place where I'm verbally abused by a death eater every day" pointing to Snape "hexed by a death eater in training" pointing to Draco "have to hang round people who have been paid by Dumbledore for the last few years to be my friends and hold me back" looking at Ron and Hermione who looked down In shame "tortured by a sadistic bitch in detention" looking at Umbridge "and receive substandard education in a place that costs a fortune"
Harry moved to the Great Hall doors and added "oh before I leave" he said rooting in his bag pulling out a scroll "this is for you Snape"
"What is this Potter? Are you trying to get me killed?" Snape exclaimed reading it over
"For those who are wondering this is a trial date for one Severus Snape for being accessory to Murder of James and Lily Potter the then Earl and Countess Gryffindor." Harry said smiling viciously "Did you really think you slimy bastard that I was going to let you get away with telling Voldemort to target my parents just because of your jealousy? You're going to hang. I'm going to push for execution either by the Veil or Dementors Kiss for your role in their deaths. And Albus Dumbledore will be able to do nothing about this as he'll be having his own trials"
"Oh and Draco" he said turning towards him "Sirius is considering casting both you and your mother out of the Black family too and reclaiming the dowry unless you change your ways. And if he should come to a suspiciously untimely demise I've been instructed as Heir to the Black family to cast you out, reclaim everything and strip you of any Black family magics. So do think on. Oh, and tell good Old Tom that he can have this world, as long as he leaves Sirius, myself and Remus alone. I've no intention of fighting him on the word of a senile old man and a fake prophet"
"Harry!" Dumbledore cried out "surely you can't mean that?"
Harry, shaking his head in disgust said "every word Dumbledore. Every word. You have no one to blame but yourself"
He turned round with his head held high and his back straight and left as people tried to come to terms the revelations that had just been announced. Several people were openly crying when they realised that their saviour had had enough and was leaving them to clean up their own mess. People got up and left looking at the teachers in disgust eager to head to the Owlery to let their families know what had happened and whether leaving themselves was the best option before they too became victims of Voldemorts or Dumbledores machinations
