Chapter 5: Assassination of...

Of course the Honeymoon was great. It took Harry only about 5 minutes to calm Katie down after what happened at the wedding. Katie began to cry when she saw the house Harry bought. It was a beautiful sight. There was a little white picket fence with a huge front lawn. There was a huge front porch that led in to a two story house. It was a nice little country type area, but much more discreet. The village was a mile long, but each house could be viewed from the front porch.

Harry and Katie spent two days in the house before they began their tour across the Spain Wizarding World. Three weeks they toured across Spain, staying in different hotels. Harry had never had a better time in his life. When they finally arrived back to the Potter family castle, they were ready to get back to there normal lives. Two weeks after Harry and Katie got back, they found out Katie was pregnant. Katie's parents were thrilled. Harry was happy. Katie, well, Katie was ecstatic. She was more than thrilled. Harry couldn't explain it.

Of course things went back to normal after that. Katie was going to go back to Hogwarts until the end of the term and Harry would be going with her. Remus, who was just as excited as Katie, would continue living at the castle. Harry would returned on the night of the full moon to be with Remus. Katie's parents were living at the Castle as well.

Katie's dad was temporarily out of work so he would be living with them until he got back on his feet. Katie's mom had never worked and it didn't look like she was planning on it so Harry and Katie were stuck with them. It didn't matter. Harry and Katie wouldn't be there while they stayed anyway. Harry really didn't see the problem with them staying, but Katie seemed to have a big problem.

"Harry, this isn't good. Once they're here they'll never leave," Katie said exasperatedly.

"It is alright Katie. I am pretty sure your Father will find a job soon," Harry said as Katie rolled her eyes and let out a sigh.

"Okay, let's just get out of here," Katie said as Harry smiled as he levitated both his and Katie's trunks out of the room into the living area where both of Katie's parents were waiting for them.

"Alright Mom, Dad. We are leaving to go to Hogwarts until the end of the term. We will be returning then," Katie said both of the parents smiled at them.

"Thank you very much Harry for letting us stay here. This place beautiful," Cassandra Bell said as Harry bowed and smiled.

"My home is your home. If you need anything just call for Pinky," Harry said, as there was the loud sound of apparation.

"You called Master," the little houseelf said to Harry smiling.

"Actually, I am going to be leaving Pinky. Mr. and Mrs. Bell will be staying here. If they call for you, I want you to serve them like you would me," Harry said as the houseelf nodded vigorously.

"Of course Master. Of course. You are to kind to us," the houseelf said apparating away.

"Now that everything is order, we'd better get going," Harry said as Katie hugged both her Mother and her Father.

"Thank you," Troy Bell said shaking Harry's hand as Katie's Mom gave Harry a hug. They apparated away without another word.

.........

"I would like everyone here to welcome now, Mrs. Katie Potter." Albus Dumbledore said, as there was a loud applause.

The applause turned to cheers as Harry walked out with Katie. Albus Dumbledore was visibly surprised to see Harry with Katie as they both took a seat at the staff table. The applause died down as Albus took a seat next to the two newlyweds.

"It is a pleasant surprise to have you here Harry, what gives us the honor?" Albus said with a bright smile of his face, although he looked old, really old.

"Well Albus, Katie is pregnant so I am going to stay by her side until the end of the term," Harry said Albus's eyes began to twinkle.

"That is great news Harry. Although you are only 18 and 19 I believe that both of you are ready. May I ask question? The staff here has been a little short handed since Severus died and the Defense teacher Professor Krum would be more than happy to move to Potions, could you...?" he said as Harry finished his sentence.

"Be the defense teacher? I guess if I am going to be staying here that would be fine, but only until the end of the term," Harry said as Albus nodded and smiled.

"Very well, Mr. Longbottom contacted me wanting to speak with you, but didn't seem to be able to remember where you live and then it hit me, I don't remember where you live," Albus said smiling as Harry only smirked.

"I'll contact Neville," he said with a smile as Albus only nodded.

Top Auror Fired For Abuse Of Power

Bill Weasley was fired Tuesday after admitting to abusing his power. Bill Weasley was accused of going to Azkaban, while Harry Potter, who was incarcerated at the time for his Sister's murder, and beating the prisoner to a bloody pulp. The Auror denied committing on the allegation two weeks ago. The allegation took place at Harry Potter's wedding, when Harry Potter himself and Bill Weasley's younger brother, Ron Weasley got into a heated argument over Bill Weasley's presents at the Wedding.

The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge and the Head of the Department of Mysteries, Jason Reno looked in to the allegations and found that they were true. Bill Weasley was fired when he returned to the Ministry yesterday morning. Bill Weasley was fired even though Harry Potter himself told the Ministry that it didn't matter any more. When asked to make comments, Harry Potter let out an angry growl, "I said it didn't matter. I didn't even want to say anything about it."

When we asked the Minister about Harry's comments, the Minister didn't seem to happy,"Harry Potter denied Criminal Action against the Auror, but he is not the Ministry. It was our decision to cut Bill Weasley loose, not his and we stand by it. He used his position to attack a prisoner that couldn't defend himself and the Ministry doesn't condone that," an agitated Minister said before denying any more comments.

.........

"Today your first class with me as your Defense Teacher, I have one question. What is more important, Practical or Theoretical Defense?" Harry asked as his sixth year class Slytherin and Gryffindor class.

Harry had asked this question to all of his classes. Most of the students were thrilled to have Harry as a teacher, some weren't. Harry could tell that most of the students came from Slytherin, but that didn't matter to Harry. Harry was there to teach and that he would.

"Mr. Roberts?" Harry said pointing at a small second year Hufflepuff.

"Practical and theoretical our both equally important. If you know the Practical and you don't theoretically know how to use it doesn't matter. If you know the theoretical way you use it, it doesn't help you." Philip Roberts said as Harry smiled and nodded.

"You are the first one all day to get it. Impressive. 5 points to Hufflepuff," Harry said not too surprised at all by the kids knowledge.

Philip Roberts was one of the up and coming wizards in his class, much like Hermione Granger and Terry Boot were in Harry's year. Philip was an outstanding student in every subject. He took almost every class available to his year. The class came to an end after they did some practical work with the stunning spell.

'Well, that wasn't that bad a first day,' Harry thought to himself as he headed off to find Katie.

.........

"Neville," Harry said looking at his friend. "Please come in," Harry said Neville came through the door.

"So what do you want to talk about Harry?" Neville said taking a seat.

"Well, you seem to have a problem and I have a solution to that problem. You say the Ministry decided to cut funding on the Third World Greenhouse and I know you don't want that to happen. So I am proposing," Harry began but Neville cut in.

"No Harry, we can't take your..." Neville began, but it was Harry's turn to cut him off.

"Neville you really don't have many choices. Many people will lose their jobs and being in the same positions as you I don't want to see you without a job," Harry said as Neville frowned angrily.

"What do you mean my position?" Neville asked angrily.

"Katie is pregnant," Harry said as Neville frowned.

"How did you know Luna was pregnant?" Neville asked suspiciously.

"You and Luna told me at the wedding," Harry said as Neville let out a sigh.

"Okay good. We haven't told many people, I thought someone found out about it," Neville letting out a huge breath.

"It is alright Neville, but let's get back to business. If I am to donate this money to the Third World Greenhouse, I need something that shows me this place upside to it. Do you have anything for me? Any ideas?" Harry asked as Neville eyes went up with excitement.

"I do, but my idea was turned down by the Minister," Neville said as Harry smiled.

"Well, if I was to fund it, he wouldn't have a say in it," Harry said as Neville smiled.

"I know, what I have in mind has to do with phoenix tears. Phoenix Tears have healing powers as you know. The healing powers of phoenix tears, if you were to add Phoenix tears to a plant, the plant would grow faster and the powers of the plant would be stronger and I believe that might give off some of the healing powers to the plant. Say if we did this to Daisy Roots, which is one of the key ingredients to Wolfsbane potion," Neville said getting excited at every word he spoke.

"So you are saying you might have a cure for the Lyncanthrophe curse?" Harry said excitedly.

"Yes Harry, I think I do, but I am not good at potions so we are going to have to find someone to make the potion," Neville said to a stunned Harry.

Harry Potter Funds the Third World Greenhouse

Two weeks after the Ministry decided to cut funding the Third World Greenhouse, they have found a new sponsor. Harry James Potter, the savior of the Wizarding World, and former wrongly imprisoned Azkaban prisoner, has decided to fund the falling Greenhouse. The Greenhouse has been losing money for the Ministry for years and the Ministry finally decided to cut the Greenhouse loose after it had its worst year in a long time last year.

Harry Potter denied comment on his reason for sponsoring the falling Greenhouse, but the people that didn't lose their jobs had much to say, "Mr. Potter is a generous man. He saved me my job. I have worked here for many years and I don't see myself working anywhere else," Greg Brown, a 47- year-old wizard said before getting back to work. Harry Potter's decision to keep the Third World Greenhouse has affected a lot of people. We will see if this decision will affect the Wizarding World for the worse or for the better.

"GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!" the temper of Veela screamed throughout the small house.

"Calm down Fleur. I will find work honey," Bill Weasley said trying to calm down his wife.

"NO, YOU GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU FOUND A JOB!" she screamed as Bill lost it.

"Listen, CALM DOWN!" Bill screaming grabbing Fleur by the wrist.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" she screamed pulling away, but Bill held harder to her wrist.

"No, you listen. We have more than enough money for you to go out and buy your little jewelry, so STOP YELLING AT ME! Because I know that is all you are worried about," Bill said pushing her to the floor.

She fell to the floor and banged her knee on the coffee table. Bill glared at her angrily before he walked out of the room into the kitchen. Fleur began to cry. She tried desperately to get to her feet, but her knee could not hold the weight. She crawled to the table, where her wand was. She murmured a quiet incantation through her sob and bandaged up her knee. Bill came back into the room visibly calmer.

"Let me help you up," he said walking over to her to her side. She drew her wand towards him.

"You stay away from me," she said trying to get to her feet.

Her weight didn't seem to want to support it. She got up on one leg and slowly limped her way out of the room. Bill sat down on the couch and let out a huge sigh.

"FUCK!" Bill screamed grabbing the vase off the coffee table and smashing it against the wall.

Bill rubbed his hands through his face and hair before he let out another sigh. He went over to the cabinet next to the couch and opened it. He took out a bottle of Fire Whiskey and a shot glass. He poured himself a shot before he downed it with ease. Fleur came back into the living room with her with her trunk.

"I am going to stay with my parents for awhile," Fleur said walking out of the living room into the kitchen. Bill got up and followed her.

"Wait Fleur! Don't leave!" Bill said grabbing hold of the Fire Whiskey and following her into the kitchen.

"Bill, I am leaving!" Fleur said walking out of the kitchen, out the small sliding glass door onto the deck.

"FLEUR, DON'T GO!" Bill screamed running out the sliding glass door, but it was too late. Fleur had already apparated.

"URGH!" he screamed throwing the bottle of Fire Whiskey bottle against the house before he stormed back into the house.

.........

"Okay sit down Mr. Roberts. How did you do this?" Katie said as Philip Roberts sat down on the bed. He had a rash all over his face and arms. They were red bumps that were oozing pus.

"These older kids hexed me when I defended my little brother Mrs. Potter," he said uninterestedly.

"Did someone catch them?" Katie asked as Philip nodded.

"Professor Potter caught them and gave them detention. They weren't too happy, but they seemed sort of scared of your husband," Philip said as Katie smiled.

"Well, Professor Potter isn't that scary Philip," she said as she began to fix his injuries.

They weren't serious, but they certainly would cause pain. Once he was fixed he stood up and smiled.

"Thank you Mrs. Potter," he said before turning and leaving the hospital wing.

"Well, Professor Potter isn't that scary Philip," Harry said from behind Katie making her jump. Harry began to laugh.

"Harry!" she said with her hand over her heart.

"And you are a Gryffindor," Harry said walking up and giving her a hug before giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"I am very much a Gryffindor," she said playfully.

"How is my baby doing?" Harry said putting a hand to her stomach.

"Good, but I have to go to St. Mungo's to find out if it is a boy or a girl," Katie said smiling as Harry smiled.

"Well, I hope it is boy," Harry said as Katie smirked.

"I hope it is a girl," she said as Harry only raised an eyebrow.

"I bet you five galleons it's a boy," Harry said with raised eyebrows as Katie grabbed his hand.

"Accepted, but you better be ready to pay up," Katie said pulling him into a hug.

.........

"Well, we both win! We're having twins!" Katie said excitedly as Harry enveloped her into a huge hug.

"That is great! A boy and a girl?" Harry asked with wide eyes as Katie nodded with tears in her eyes.

They stood there for a while. Just holding each other. Harry couldn't find a time when he was happier. Tears formed in his eyes as Katie looked up and him and they embraced. Harry could have stayed like that forever if they weren't interrupted by a small huff. Madam Pomfrey stood there looking at them disapprovingly.

.........

The term ended and Harry got a standing ovation. He just gave the small crowd in the Great Hall a small wave. The term had ended with a small toast for the people who died in the war. So many people in the Great Hall had been affected by the War that almost all of them were crying as a list of names were read out. It was an emotional ending to the year. Harry remained silent recording all names of the people who died in the war in his mind. He didn't know there had been so many causalities.

Harry said goodbye to a couple of the older years like the Creevey brothers and then departed towards Hogsmeade with Katie. They were quite content as they arrived at Hogsmeade. They walked in silence through the gate.

"Well it is time to go home." Katie said. Harry smiled as they both apparated to the castle.

.........

"Just do it! Get it done! I have given you guys two weeks," a man shouted as the Vampire flinched.

"Yes Master!" he said apparating away.

..........

Cornelius Fudge had just apparated home. His estate was on the newly rebuilt Malfoy Manor. Aurors were stationed around the house, just for precautionary reasons. He opened his front door and walked into his house. It was mysteriously quiet. He looked around suspiciously as he shut the door. CLICK.

BANG!

There was a loud explosion that blow the roof of the house clear off. Cornelius Fudge was dead.
