AN: I've given all of you a whole week to read OotP so come back! lol. This story will not change to fit OotP. I'm leaving it exactly how it was originally written. So, even if you haven't read OotP yet this story will remain spoiler free. I'm still quite mad at who JK killed off though. I don't think the person's dead if you ask me. But I do have a question for all of you who've read it, what exactly if that whole veil thingy. I'm confused and Luna confused me even more.

Chapter 20

Arrest

Coldness. Flames. Death. Screaming. Green. Sweeping death. Cruel laughter.

"Potter! Harry!"

Harry's eyes snapped open. He quickly sat up, breathing hard.

"Bloody hell Harry, what was that? You were saying stuff about your mother and Dementors," Snape commented.

"They're free. All of them?"

"Who is?"

"It's open."

"Crap! Not Azkaban. . ."

Their conversation stopped when they heard yelling. It got louder as the doorknob jiggled.

"No more Dumbledore! Potter is coming with me! He's dangerous and you know it!" The door opened revealing Dumbledore, Fudge, and two Aurors.

Dumbledore said nothing. Harry, as well as Fudge, knew he agreed with the statement.

"Potter you are under arrest for being a Death Eater and killing countless Muggles and wizards including Cedric Diggory." Fudge's eyes moved to the next bed. His eyes widened, "You!"

"Surprised your master didn't kill him?" Harry shot vehemently.

"I don't know what you're talking about Potter. Arrest him."

Harry immediately magic shoved the two Aurors out of the way. He walked straight toward Fudge. A greenish glow illuminated Harry. Staring right at Fudge he said, "Acclaro malefactor!"

The room darkened as the spell hit Fudge. Fudge looked down at his arm and saw his Dark Mark fully lit up. Thinking fast, he fell to the floor, cried out in pain, and pretended he was being tortured.

Harry opened his mouth in surprise. 'Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I am a Dark lord.'

"Harry stop! Take off the spell!" Professor Dumbledore yelled.

Harry just shook his head and walked back a few steps. "That wasn't supposed to happen." His eyes didn't leave Fudge twitching on the ground. "Finite Incantatum."

Fudge glanced at his arm, and to his relief, the tattoo was no longer visible. Breathing hard, he slowly got up, "Get him," he said adding pain to his voice.

Within one second, the two Aurors had Harry pinned to the wall, their wands at his throat.

A Ministry official ran into the room. "Urgent news Minister. . . what happened?!"

As his vision cleared, Harry easily saw the red hair. It was Percy.

"What's the news?"

"Azkaban has been opened sir. All the captured Death Eaters and Dementors are gone."

"What?!" No hint of surprise was in the Minister's eyes.

Percy continued, "It's burning as we speak, Minister. All the human guards are dead or. . . worst."

"All the Dementors are gone?"

"Yes, except the two you requested for Harry Potter." Percy said Harry's name as if he had never met him.

"Get them up here immediately."

"Yes Minister."

"Cornelius, I do not want those. . ."

"Potter is very dangerous Dumbledore. Did you not see what he just did to me. The Dementors will drain him of any extra powers he may have. He'll be under tight security with the Dementors as his only friends until the fifteenth."

Percy came back accompanied with the Dementors. The lights flickered slightly. The screaming in Harry's head started. Harry focused on a happy memory thinking of the thrill at the Qudditch World Cup last year. "Expecto. . ."

"No you don't Potter," one of the Aurors said, "Nimble Wimble."

"Patranumi." The spell the Aurors had cast on him didn't allow him to speak spells properly.

The Dementors seized hold on Harry with their slimy hands.

The screaming grew louder in Harry's head. As did the voices of the dead.
