"What have I done...?" Sirius said to the silent and pity-filled group before him as everyone looked at the newspaper with varying degrees of sadness and shock. Before long, several owls swooped into the room, dropping letters on several heads before flying away.

When the people opened their letters, several people fainted in a dead thump, others started to cry, the cry of their wallets being empty as they had to pay back all the money they spent and taken with the permission of Dumbledore was recalled and they had to pay back every single knut they took from the vault...With interest.

Remus could only keep his head in his hands as he thought, 'How could this get any worse?'

Mooney deep inside of Remus' mind was smirking, 'Oh Remus, you have no idea. How worse it is going to get for you and soon I will finally be free.'

Back to reality...

Molly burst into tears as she remembered everything she ever said to the boy come back to haunt the front of her mind with a vengeance, along with everything she ever said and did to her ex-husband and two sons who actually stood up to Harry.

[Flashback]

"What?!" Molly screeched

"You are leaving? All because of fucking Potter!" Ron said with a sneer

"Dad, come on. You know that Potter is guilty," Ginny looked at her father with disappointment

However, when Arthur turned around he looked at all three at them with a heavy gaze from his blue eyes causing them all of them flinch.

Arthur was never a violent man, but he was very expressive and his temper, when it was short, nobody wanted to be on the wrong side of.

"This is what I cannot believe, especially since Harry, the boy you have known on the train since day one, you think Harry is actually capable of murdering someone, then you all must be more stupid than you look."

"Arthur?!" Molly screamed, scandalized

"Dad!" Ginny and Ron said, shocked

Arthur finished packing his things and jamming them shut in his large suitcase.

"You are not leaving, Arthur. You need to stop this belief in Harry Potter," Molly said, crossing her arms

Arthur only looked at her in silence, his blue eyes cold, making her tremble as she tried to hold herself together, but his stare was too much and looked away from him. He sighed and gently pushed her to the side and made his way down the stairs as Ginny and Ron tried to convince him to stay and give up on Potter.

People heard the conversation from upstairs and they stared at Arthur, some in disappointment, others in shock, and the rest took a wait and see approach.

Dumbledore cut into the conversation and said, "Arthur do you really want to leave your family?"

"Albus, what happens between my family and myself is my business and I would appreciate it if you didn't interfere."

"I see..." Dumbledore said, disappointed, but it didn't faze Arthur in the slightest.

"Mr. Weasley, please don't leave. Your family needs you, besides Harry was guilty," Hermione said, cutting in

"You truly think Harry is guilty?" Arthur questioned

"Yes, I do. All the evidence points to Harry," Hermione said, with full conviction

Arthur could only shake his head in shame and disappointment

"It's really sad..."

"What's sad?" Hermione asked

"That you, of all people would turn your back against Harry. One of the first ones to do so actually," Arthur said, disappointment and slight disgust coloring his tone

"I-" "Please, let me finish," Arthur interrupted

"Moving on to that, Hermione. It's very shocking, especially considering how I met your parents."

"Y-you met my parents?" She stuttered

"Your father and then your mother, when I was observing the muggle world as a part of my job as the Head of my department. Regardless, I met him in the street and he recognized me from the platform and we got to talking. He spent hours, talking about how you enjoyed writing letters about Harry. Especially, considering how he saved you during your first year and how you were nearly killed by Ron, insulting you so much you ran to the bathroom and cried." Arthur said, not looking at Hermione's red face or Ron's now pasty white complexion

Before Hermione could cut in, Arthur started up again, "So apparently throughout the years, you would write letters talking about Harry and very little about Ron and they are worried actually..."

"Worried?" Hermione choked

"Yes, worried. Because you haven't written to them in so long and they know you are staying at a friend's house, but you have not written one letter to them and also they wish to meet Harry, the person who you owe your life to..."

"Arthur, did you-" "No." Arthur cut Molly off flat

"No, I didn't say anything to them about Harry. I mean, what can I say. That their daughter, the one who she wrote letter upon letter about the boy who they thought her relationship with might become something more? How she stabbed him in the back and left him to rot in one of the worst places on Earth and stole money and books from his vault?" Arthur said, his cold eyes boring into Hermione's.

Hermione could only feel tears running down her cheeks as she took hit after hit with Arthur's words.

"Well, Hermione needs to write to them that's all. I'm not one to judge, but it's your call. But, it makes me wonder, considering how honorable they are, especially to their friends and those they consider family. I even asked them what they think of those who betray their friends."

Arthur felt a light smirk fall on his face at Hermione's pale looks as she started to shake, "The cold looks on their faces could make Snape's look like a child throwing a tantrum."

"Well, anyone else?" Arthur said, looking around

"Arthur, that's a bit too far," Remus said

"Hm~, too far, huh? Tell me, Remus, what do you think and considering you are so willing to throw away the last connection to your friends who stood by you."

"Arthur, that's enough. Just take your shit and leave. You are not allowed back in this house," Sirius snapped, standing up for his friend

"Of course, be well, Sirius and make sure to have fun explaining your wrongdoings and begging for forgiveness when you are proven wrong and you are dragged through the mud, the same way you did to Harry once the positions were reversed."

Arthur then left the house and took residence with the twins who let him in and blocked any and all attempts by his ex-family to bring him back to them until they gave up and started to curse his name as a Potter believer.

[Present]

Ginny left the kitchen, stomped upstairs and slammed the door to her room as she burst into tears. Molly sobbed into her chair as Ron and Hermione sat in shock. Hermione knew that hell was going to come down on them and shit just hit the fan and it covered everything.

Dumbledore looked like he was going to be sick and McGongall left the room to puke as she felt guilt well up in her throat and she felt cold glares boring holes into the back of her head as tears fell from her eyes. She didn't know if she could face her pupil or his wife on the other side with everything she said and did to Harry before sending him off to prison along with all the words she shouted at him in lock up while he just took it.

Sirius looked downright catatonic in his seat as he stared at the newspaper and he was praying that this was all a dream, but his conscience was replaying every foul word, every curse, every spit and hex, he sent at Harry at the trial and his stay at the prison and he knew it wasn't a dream. He wanted to die, but cold fear gripped his heart at seeing Lily again who would skin him and James was no bleeding heart to those who crossed him or his friends. Sirius made a big mistake and knew he had a lot of work to do and he had to find Harry, but even worse was the possibility that he was dead and he felt he aged 20 years in his chair.

Remus was staring down at the newspaper as thoughts ran amok in his head, he felt like shit and Mooney was capitalizing on his suffering.

"So...You finally figure out your fuck ups, haven't you?" Mooney laughed

'Shut...up...'

"Aw, poor baby. Whose going to save you now? The boy you spat on and taunted would rather make you into a pelt than ever forgiving you."

'You're wrong.'

"What?"

'You are wrong. Harry would always forgive.'

"Oh so, now you are on Harry's side. Now that everything has been revealed and Harry is actually innocent. You truly are...one pathetic man."

'Shut up! I don't want to hear this from a monster!'

"Coming from a man who abandoned his best friend's son to a life of hellish torment on trump charges or the first one when you abandoned your other friend to hell for over a decade along with your best friend's son. Wow~, if you are what they call a 'human being' then I am glad I am a monster." Mooney chuckled at Remus' misery, growing worse and worse with time

Remus couldn't find a rebuttal as his doubts and insecurities started to well up inside of him and he couldn't find anything to silence them.


The twins along with Arthur closed up shop and they were laughing their asses off at the hell that was happening around them.

Arthur sighed as he leaned against the couch as the twins sat in front of him, still chuckling, "I warned them, but they refused to listen," Arthur said, shaking his head

"When do you think Molly and the rest of them will be crawling back to for us to help them get into Harry's good books," Fred asked

George replied, "I'd give it a week. What do you think dad?"

"I would say a month."

"They should have never stabbed Harry in the back like that."

"Yeah, now the real hell begins, now that the public knows of Harry's innocence and Azkaban's destruction..."

"He will start attacking..." Fred started off

"With no interference from Harry-" George continued

"Britain will be finished," Arthur completed

"Will Harry be leaving the country?" George asked

"Wouldn't you if everyone treated you like a used tissue?" Fred replied

"We can ask him the next time he comes over," Arthur stated, getting up to stretch his back

"Who wants to get on a trip to the muggle world? I saw this restaurant that has really good food."

"Really?" Fred questioned

"I'll get my jacket," George said

The three Weasleys then left the apartment and went to spent time together, but before they left they put safety precautions around the store and their apartment, just to ward off any unwanted visitors.

Luna was enjoying the time she was spending with her new boyfriend and planning when it was the perfect time to leave the country. He was going to take Fred, George, and Arthur with Luna and her father. She knew that Hagrid was not very fond of Dumbledore because of Harry's treatment and he believed Harry to be innocent, but he wouldn't leave.

Harry just wanted to be in peace and he wasn't going to let anyone take that away from him, not anymore. His parents and Cedric might be disappointed in his choices but he wouldn't sacrifice his happiness for those who used him and he will protect his family the way any other person would. By eliminating all threats to them, especially if they were either Death Eaters or members of the Order of Fried Chicken.

Mr. Lovegood was very proud of his work and the newspaper was selling like the muggle expression, 'Like hotcakes.' His daughter was extremely happy with her new boyfriend and she was never happier. Harry made her extremely comfortable and Xeno spent time with the lad and grew closer with him.

Mooney was resting in Remus' mind, the misery Remus felt at betraying the pup of his pack made him feel worse than shit and Mooney could only smile. Remus could try and deny all he wants, but he knew deep down he fucked over Harry. And James and Lily who gave him a chance would never forgive him for it and that would be the main reason why Remus hasn't hung himself yet.

The werewolf representation of Remus could only laugh which was met with a harsh yell for him to be quiet, which made Mooney laugh even more as the echoes of laughter ran through Remus' depressed mind.

Grayback smiled at the newspaper and the havoc it was starting to reap, that kid could cause some hell when he needed to.

'It's a shame I couldn't turn him, but Harry not wanting to take the chance of him being poisoned because of the Basilisk venom,' He thought to himself before looking out and waiting. The window open from where he was sitting, the tides have changed and it is all Dumbledore's fault.

He just couldn't wait...


Voldemort had a look between interest, slight pride and annoyance on his face. Interest because Harry could make hell, nobody knew he was alive, everyone thought he was dead with the crumbling remains of Azkaban and all his death eaters escaped and the rotting corpses of the guards. He was annoyed because he put the spotlight on him and pointed the finger to Malfoy who was now in hiding. He was proud to have him as an enemy, but he knew he had changed from his time in Azkaban.

Who wouldn't? After all, being betrayed except for a handful of people and for them being scorned and pressured into changing their views by a wishy-washy populace of people that could only be counted on as sheep. He wasn't shocked but wondered how a battle would work without Harry holding back.

But Voldemort decided to wait and see, if what Harry said is true by springing an attack on Hogsmeade and if Harry arrives then all deals are off.

Lucius Malfoy was hiding within his home as he could not go out in public now knowing the deal he made with Fudge has come to light. Draco was pissed off and swore that Potter would pay for this and while the two men of the Malfoy stewed in their misery, Narcissa Malfoy silently complimented the young Potter for the brilliant move.

She decided to take a wait and see approach and saw Bellatrix walking around the manor with a healthy glow and was shocked hearing that she had her ability to bear children back. She wanted to thank Potter personally and wanted to see the true Harry Potter. He was a puzzle that she wanted to unravel and figure out.

However, a loud scream came from downstairs and she ignored it and went back to sipping her tea for today as the scream was now a high-pitched groan.

Back to the dungeon beneath the manor, Snape was being tortured for information and Voldemort wanted to send a message to Dumbledore and Snape would be that message after everyone had their pound of flesh from him.

Fudge was hiding in office, away from howlers and his employees and from the minute he read the newspaper, he couldn't even deny it and the floos connecting the ministry to the prison were under maintenance and nothing like this ever happened before

He didn't want to believe it, he sent the only one who could stop the dark lord to prison where he could be already rotting with the rest of the guards stationed there, all the death eaters escaped and Voldemort was alive and could cause havoc at any moment.

Fudge didn't need to think about it. He had his death warrant signed, he was a dirty rat on a sinking ship with no possible way out

After a week of stress, newspapers were printing and reprinting stories and people shouting and wanting the truth, those who believed in Harry were in a new light, but...they were nowhere to be found, it was like they didn't want to be founded.

The ex-Weasleys were put in a low light and they soon found out they didn't have a name! Arthur disowned them from the Weasley name and hung the name up and took on a new one. Arthur Weasley was now Arthur Bishop with his two sons, Fred and George Bishop and it caused the ex-Weasleys, now No Names strive. William (Bill) and Charlie lost their jobs along with Percy who was booted on the spot and crawled back to his apartment in tears and Charlie and Bill had to work demeaning jobs, instead of their hard-earned ones and pay back the money they snagged from Harry.

Voldemort decided to pronounce his return and it made it known by launching an attack on Diagon Ally and Harry had a plan that would cripple the light side by doing what they did for him.

And what did the light side did for him, you may ask? Why it's simple. Nothing.
