Chapter 2- Dumbledore to the Rescue

Fudge took the wand gently from Harry. Then, he grabbed his own wand, from inside his cloak. He raised Harry's wand magically into the air, and made a sudden movement. Harry closed his eyes. Then he opened them. Fudge wasn't moving. "Mr. Fudge," said Harry. "Yoo-hoo." Fudge didn't move.
"You know," said a soft, warm voice. "Full wizard magic can be pretty powerful. It was Dumbledore. He walked out from behind Fudge. "Full-Freezing Hex," said Dumbledore. "Very powerful."
"Professor Dumbledore," said Harry. "Why did you...how did you..." His voice trailed off. " "Relax dear boy," said Dumbledore. "Everything is going to be alright. I promise." He raised his wand, and un-hexed the hex. Fudge almost fell over backwards. "What was all that about?" he stammered.
"Forgive me, Minister," said Dumbledore. "I was under the impression that you were trying to curse Harry, and since I was behind you, I didn't know who you were, so I froze you with a Full-Freezing Hex. Please forgive me."
"Yes, yes, of course," Fudge mumbled. "I don't quite remember what I was just going to do." He looked over to Harry's wand, which was floating in mid-air. "Ah..." he thought. "Now I remember. I was going to break Harry's wand." He was just ready to perform the charm, when Dumbledore grabbed the wand out of mid-air.
"Minister," said Dumbledore. "May I have a word with you?"
"But you...but he...but I..." said Fudge. "But..."
"The only butts here, Minister, are yours, mine, Smithers', and Harry's. Other than that, the only I don't know of any other butts, except for the Muggles downstairs. I think they are on the phone calling the police. No matter, some simple Memory Charms should clear all this up."
"But Professor," said Fudge. "Harry has been expelled from Hogwarts for performing a Memory Charm on his aunt this past afternoon."
"I realize that, Minister, but I wonder if maybe we can give Harry another chance. With the way things are changing in the Wizarding World, we need all the help we can get. And I think I stand pretty clear when I say that young Potter here is one of the greatest wizards Hogwarts has seen for a long time."
Fudge stood there for a long time, taking into account what he had just heard. "All right," he said. "Harry, you are not expelled from Hogwarts. I shouldn't have expelled you in the first place. I'm sorry."
"It's okay," said Harry. "I just didn't want to be taken away from everything that makes my life so fun and adventurous. I promise that I will not perform any charms, hexes, or spells when I am out of school."
"Okay," said Fudge. "Normally, stuff like this doesn't happen with students, so consider yourself lucky."
