Aku~IT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING!
~The Truth~
It had been ten years since Harry Potter, the Gryffindor Golden Boy, had been put in Azkaban for life. Apparently, there were actual witnesses who, under truth serum, confessed to seeing him kill the three victims.
Hermione and Ron had married at 22 and now had 4 kids. Johnathan and Rachel, whom were twins. Then came Neville and Virginia, named after Harry's victims. They, along with the rest of the wizarding world were surprisingly happy since Harry left. No one questioned his being guilty...
Except for six people. Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Genesis Matradoor, Amerianda Rundest, Marie Longbottom, and, surprisingly, Draco Malfoy. Marie knew that despite Harry's supposed madness, he would never do anything so violent. Despite the fact that her only grandson was dead, she refused to convict the wazarding world's scapegoat along with everyone else. She spent years trying to prove Harry's innocence...only to be silenced. Marie had died of a heart disorder that the medi-witches couldn't cure.
Draco knew that Harry would never stoop as low as to murder without reason. He would never follow in the footsteps of the madman that made him an orphan. Despite not liking him that much in his school years, Draco worked with the others to clear Harry's good name. Him and Amerianda had married and had two children. Beatrice, a platinum blonde little girl, and, amazingly, Harry, out of respect for the fallen hero.
Sirius and Remus had fallen into a state of depression. After working so hard to be freed from prison, Sirius escaped and got his name cleared, only to be free and have his beloved godson locked away. It pained the two to see James' son dragged away screaming to his new, permanent place of resting. They talked to no one and refused to leave the house unless necessary. The two were literally wasting away...
Then came Genesis. After Harry, she could love no other. Many had tried to get her out of it, but she only yelled at them when they said that Harry and her were no good together. It had been a dream of her's to marry the dark haired boy and start a family with him...but, some dreams never come true....
But, today was a new day. Albus Dumbledore had called in Harry's supporting group for an emergency meeting. Let's take a look, eh?
::Albus Dumbledore's Office::
"What is it that you want, Albus?," grumbled a disgruntled Sirius. He was, however interrupted when the door to the office opened. A few redheads and one bushy head of hair came through the door. Remus, Sirius, Genesis, Amerianda, and Draco scowled. It was the Weasleys.
The arriving group sat on the other side of the room, avoiding the glares from the others. "Hello, Albus," said Molly, with fake cheerfulness ion her voice," How are you?" "Fine, fine. But we have pressing matters to attend to."
Albus pulled out a few sheets of paper. "Do any of you remember Voldemort's mysterious disappearance after Harry went to prison?," he asked. He got a nod from everyone in the room. Without another word, he threw a newspaper from Bulgaria onto the desk for everyone to see. It read:
VOLDEMORT SIGHTED! WIZARDING WORLD NO LONGER SAFE!
Hermione let out a squeal of panic. Arthur shook his head gravely. "I knew he'd come back," he whispered sadly.
Remus looked up at Albus. "Well, what will we do about it? The only person who can really stop him is in AZKABAN..." He emphasized the Azkaban part, to instill guilt upon the redheaded family. Albus' eyes twinkled happily. "Not for long," he said in a sing-song voice. The Weasleys looked up at him as if he'd grown a second head.
"Albus, are you CRAZY?!," yelled Molly. "HE KILLED MY SISTER!," yelled Ron. Albus shook his head. "Harry Potter killed NO ONE," he said firmly, still smiling. "HIS PRINTS AND MAGICAL TRACES WERE ALL OVER HER!," Molly screamed frantically. Albus didn't waver. "Harry Potter...was framed."
The room went silent. Not even breathing could be heard. Genesis mouthed the word "framed" over and over, as if it were a silent prayer. Ron silently fumed....but the silence didn't last.
"HOW COULD HE HAVE BEEN FRAMED! HIS MAGICAL TRACES WERE ALL OVER GINNY AND THE OTHERS! PEOPLE EVEN SAW HIM KILL THEM AND WALK AWAY SMILING!," he roared. Albus frowned. "I believe that you're familiar with Polyjuice Potion, Mr. Weasley. Of course, I don't see why we didn't see it before..."
Hermione looked up with tears in her eyes. "Who DID do it?," she asked shakily. Albus frowned. "I'm most disappointed to say....Narcissa Malfoy..."
Draco gaped at him. "HOW?!," he yelled, Amerianda trying to calm him. "She thought that Lucius' loyalties to the Dark Lord were wavering, so she planned to kill him. But then, she decided to put away the one that could stop her master at the same time. She disguised herself as Harry and killed three people that he may have something against. Lucius, for trying to get him expelled, Ginny for not liking him anymore, and Neville for being....less than recognized, unlike himself who was world renowned...All planned perfectly," Albus explained gravely.
Draco sat there in awe. He had no idea that his mother would do such a thing. Hell, he didn't know that she COULD! "So...how did they figure out it was her?," asked Sirius. "The dementors at Azkaban sensed the fact that Harry was not feeling the affects of their powers, so informed the ministry. They know this can only happen when one is either innocent...or beyond madness," Albus began,"So, they brought in all the witnesses of the murders. They finally had the intelligence to put them under truth serum this time." "That's right," interjected Amerianda," They took their word for it 10 years ago. They believed every word..."
"Mrs.Malfoy was put under the serum first. They asked who had killed the three victims...and she told all," Albus finished gravely," This was done but a few days ago. I was informed first, and requested it to stay quiet. I thought you all should be the first to know."
Genesis was on the verge of tears. "So....when will Harry get out?," she asked wetly, holding back the tears. "Today,"Albus announced proudly. Genesis let the tears fall now, bursting with happiness. Sirius put an arm around her shoulders as she cried into him, a wet smile on her face.
The Weasleys were smiling. "So, Harry's coming back?," began Hermione. Draco turned to her with a bitter look. "Yes, Granger. You get your hero to come back and save your sorry arse. After you betrayed him, no doubt."
"I get my best friend back," said Ron out loud. Sirius turned to him. "Don't you DARE talk of best friends, Weasley! YOU were supposed to be HIS best friend! And it got him THROWN INTO AZKABAN!," he yelled, turning red. No one made a move to stop him. They all knew he was right. "And now, when Voldemort comes back and you get some REAL PROOF, he looks like the epitome of INNOCENCE?!," he continued, emphasizing innocence, hoping it would make them feel worse.
Ron turned red. "Well...all the evidence...it all pointed to him-" Ron was cut off as a chocolate colored hand came in contact with his pale cheek. Genesis stood there, fuming. Her eyes were ablaze with fury. "DON'T YOU DARE EVEN SPEAK OF HIM! WHEN HE GETS OUT, I HOPE HE GIVES YOU THE THROTTLING YOU DESERVE!," she yelled. With that, she stalked out.
::Hogsmeade, Ministry of Magic::
All of Hogsmeade was crowed in front of the Ministry building. They awaited the so called "big announcement" from the Minister. They had all heard that it involved the criminal, Harry James Potter.
Up at the podium, Cornelius Fudge stood there, Sirius, Remus, and Genesis at his side. They appeared nervous. Remus was biting his lower lip and fidgeting. Sirius wrung his hands together. Genesis kept looking off into space.
"Welcome all," came Fudge's jubilant voice,"I must announce today two things. The first of grave content...The Dark Lord, whom had been in hiding for years...has returned once again." A few gasps came from the crowd. 'Go ahead," thought Sirius sourly," then cheer when you hero comes back'
"But second...is of the greatest nature since Sirius Black, whom is next to me," he indicated Sirius," was cleared of charges...Harry Potter has been proved innocent."
It was as if the world has stopped turning. It was deathly silent. Then, within seconds, all of Hogsmeade was cheering. 'So predictable,' thought Sirius.
"I now present to you...Harry Potter!," announced Fudge. An Auror came out holding a haggard man by his wrists, which were behind his back. The two walked up to the podium. The Auror held up a key and unlocked the shackles on the man's arms.
With his arms released, the man stretched his arms, as if he hadn't done so in years. He was tall and lanky. Almost looking anorexic. His jet black hair was messy, hanging down to his waist. His fingers were long and thin, as were his legs.
He lifted his head to the famous scar. And hidden under his dirty fringe were two cold, empty emerald green eyes. This man was, indeed, Harry James Potter.
Harry looked up to see Sirius and Remus. "Sirius?," he croaked, as if his voice hadn't been used in a while,"Remus?" The two men, despite their ages, embraced him with tears in their eyes. "It's good to have you back," sobbed Remus. "Harry, it's been too long," sobbed Sirius, not wanting to let him go, for fear this might be a dream.
Then, Harry noticed someone standing in back of them. A woman. Chocolate brown skin. Straight, jet black hair that went down to her calves. And green eyes identical to his. "Genesis?," he whispered, hoping desperately that he wasn't dreaming. She nodded, tears escaping her eyes. Harry ran over to her. sweeping her off her feet and hugging her. "Oh, Harry!," she whispered, crying hysterically. She didn't care if his hair was dirty. She didn't care if he smelled of 0 years in prison. He was there, that's all she needed.
Harry put her down and looked into her eyes. As green met green, an old flame ignited in Harry's eyes. A flames that Genesis hadn't seen since that fateful birthday 10 years ago. It made her feel whole again. "Genesis...can I ask you something?," he croaked. "Anything, love. Anything you want," she said, stopping her tears. Harry took her hand and led her over to the podium.
"Hey, everybody shut up and listen," he joked," I'm going to ask the woman here something I would have done 10 years ago, were it not for YOUR stupidity," he added sourly. He pulled a box out of his tattered pocket. Opening it he revealed a golden band with an emerald on it.
He let go of Genesis' hand and knelt down on one knee. "Genesis, on my birthday that year, I vowed to ask you to marry me after graduation. But, I decided I wanted to give you a promise ring that day. A ring to promise that I would propose and be there always...But I broke that promise. So I want to make up for it now..." He slipped the ring on her finger.
"Genesis Ebony Mantradoor III...will you marry me?"
