The Return Of The Marauders Part I: Harry Potter And The Sorceror's Stone
Warnings: From here on and forward, Harry's title for Sirius changes, as he becomes his father, as the years they spent together now change things now. As he and Harry start acting like father and son, as year 5 changes things further as he's now acting like a real father here. To him as he and Harry developed a bond that would take his place with James as the years go by now.
The exchange in this chapter, before book 5 starts is going to be a hint to what's coming in The Order Of The Phoenix. As books 4 and 5 are being altered to everyone in the castle going pro Ministry Anti Dumbledore starting now. As this continues, before they realize that Ron could be a spy, while Hermione is constantly being hexed.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers.
Chapter 26: Preparations And Try And Trusts I
"Ancient and noble house of Potter, only not calling me all the time, you're the Master of the castle so to speak, she belongs to you, but you want to be seen as a normal student. Only year 3 you finally exact your head of house position to actually get some space from these guys." Sirius said and Minerva and Poppy nodded in agreement. "You are a simple commoner young lady, Harry is a wizarding lord scion, like an Earl in your world." Amos said sternly to her then.
"After two years of trying to be a commoner, with hanging around you two, he decides to, just to get some space, to use his title, his father was an earl, as well an auror." Minerva said and she went white at that. "Then what does that make me?!" Ron asked shaking and he said it. "Your father is a Baron, James and I are the two one up." Sirius said sternly and he swallowed hard. "Grandma, I really do need some space in year 3, so if you please." I said and they nodded.
As Jeff, Kristine, Poppy, Minerva and Ben moved behind me and Minerva nodded as Kristine left her hands on my shoulders. "Not quite the staff most trusted in Craven's eyes, but close enough." Andy said and I leaned my head against Minerva's side and she chuckled at that response and as Minerva ran her hand through my hair gently smiling then. "Most trusted in school staff to be exact here, she's the head of the house, Poppy my doctor in school now."
"And the trio are the ones I'm closest to in the medical staff, so you get the point Hermione, as you read the book, only I'm not Colin as a 10 year old, but as 13 year old. Year 3, I'm not taking sides here, you want to squabble all the time, that's fine, but leave me out of it. Ginny, my love, come on, let's leave these two to fight all the time, but you and me my love, you and me now." I said and Ginny nodded smiling at me then and she started shaking in fear at that remark then.
"But Cho is dating Cedric, I'm paired off with Ginny, get used to it, but again this is not about you, it was never about you. It's about me, my emotional state, my protection, but 1) my grades in taking the same classes you do. 2) Peter is on the loose right now, and we got those things on campus, 3) Ginny and I are together. 4) I don't need your fathers as much, not when I have the guys and dad, 5) but his insecurity and you're always wanting to be right in truth."
"That is so darn infuriating, I'm going to start tearing out my fingernails to get some relief, get over yourself, deal with this!" I said and she swallowed hard. "I don't have to run everything by you, just because we're a trio doesn't mean we have to keep each other. Always informed, besides Percy and the twins know, and they don't mind, what business of it is your's. After you tattled on Remus, exposing his secret, you could have killed us!" I said and she paled at that.
"Kessler, is a big one right now, but the doctor was right, if we had that potion 20 years ago, his attacker wolf and he himself would be like Remus. Well time to offer what we have to the non magical people where lycanthropy is concerned." I said and they nodded. "Not only was that dangerously reckless, if this doctor is still looking for a cure, we give it to him. And screw the statute of secrecy, because this is costing as many lives as the wars, dad, in truth here."
"For 1,000 years we kept to ourselves, never offering any way to help them with a single way magical medicine, we can at least give them one. And by giving Kessler, if he's still alive, a way to cope with being a wolf like Remus, he's wolf. But he keeps his mind, and when the moon wanes he's himself again, his wife never has her heart broken." Percy said and they nodded gently. "Agreed right now, that's a good idea boys." Crouch said and Dumbledore paled then.
"Want to go it now on that exchange, they're utterly convinced Riddle is back when I just killed the tosser, family meeting in the Weasley clan." I said and the Weasleys nodded sternly. "Yeah that and you're visiting us for the day after your leg healed, after you barely blew it. Said your knee out and Remus's pack in London find you." Arthur said and the duo paled at that. "Uh huh, they're convinced he is back, but we ended a trauma for you and my daughter, he's dead now."
"You're on dream suppressants, and a potion to block the memories out, all we have is his word, claiming on your's, as, before the effects of the potion took hold. No nightmares, and aside from a bunch of scrapes and bruises, there is no evidence, but there and back. You killed him and brought back the sword, said is covered in blood, and we and the medical department. As the ministry, the faculty and school parental population all know this, so you have no memory."
"And to what happened that night, aside from the battle scars, so how can he be back exactly right now, as the only threat in our eyes is the headmaster and his cult. We believe you, only now we're all concerned to let you come back to school here. And when the muggle medical department confirmed said blood on your sword is Riddle's?" Molly said and they went white at that, as I knew Hermione forgot, as our medical technology was so advanced now it could see it.
"And to repeat this remark, before it ends up in book 7, has anyone ever considered sticking that sword in Riddle?" I asked and she chuckled and Rufus nodded, smiling. "But that's what we call over kill in whatever you plan to do." Addams said and Ben nodded. "And we call that psychotic." he said and he nodded. "Alright guys we're not doing that again, but if the only way to make to sure he's dead this time is by lightsaber…" I said and the MLE nodded in agreement.
"Point made young man, point made, with it infused with venom, it's a dangerous weapon now, before taking your lightsaber to him, and then breaking the wand in half. Once we can use to destroy those things now, but put that remark into theory, when you go to deal with him. But everything you left for us leaves the total confirmation he's dead, and the one in you is gone." Crouch said smiling and Rufus nodded in agreement to that as the ministry exchanged smiles.
"Yeah that and the carnage at the graveyard we found." Amos said and Arthur nodded in agreement. "But that sword being stabbed into the pressure points, both arms and legs, but each one goes right into the heart, so the arms are right here." I said pointing at my bicep. "And the legs are here, and this is why breaking your hip will kill instantly, if you break it. I mean through it, as the artery is pressed right into it." I said as I tapped my hip and Poppy nodded.
"So that explains why Dr. Healey was always checking that portion of our bodies, to check for blood flow and injuries over the last 7 years, since my class started school. Because those spots are where, if you don't restrict it, you can bleed to death?" Charlie said and I nodded. "Exactly, those spots are where the primary arteries are, an artery gets cut that can kill. So a tourniquet is required to restrict it, watch this." I said as I grabbed the rubber tying cord and Colin nodded.
As he removed his sweater and they saw his upper arm, as I carefully tied it around his bicep, and they saw it artery change color and Poppy nodded in understanding, as I removed it. "Being skilled in health and wellness class, you have to learn these things, because magical healing. At times won't cut it, or you can or could bleed to death, say you splinched yourself here. What happens if there is no way to get medical care, not the test, but real?" I asked and they nodded.
"Point taken." every pureblood family in the school said and every muggleborn nodded sternly as Fudge crossed his arms at the show and tell. "Growing up muggle can save lives, believe me, we knew everything about advanced medicine now. Child care and child safety techniques and we can show you when I set up the extra passages. But without learning these things, and you're on a mission, you have act muggle, so first aid." I said and the aurors nodded to me.
"What about the snake and the ring, he can't be gone if those aren't destroyed?" Patterson asked quickly and I smiled. "I'm killing the snake in year 5 and leaving your beloved headmaster with the ring, but I'm checking that thing, he finds it, to confirm my suspicions. I'm checking it out first, but he can't read my mind right now, how is he expected right now. To know for sure, he can't speak parsel-tongue." I said and they all paled at that, realizing that was something.
They never knew then. "He can't speak parsel-tongue, he won't understand what that ring is saying?" Ron asked shaking and I nodded. "No he doesn't, that's what he intended: to wait till year 7, before the truth comes out right now. But my grandfather grant me total control of the castle, I can just tell Salazar, but you're lording it over me. That you have a family and I don't, is wearing so thin, you're nailing that coffin closed faster then you think." I said and he went pale.
"So you just back off, everything you have I want, everything I have you want, but you know what, what you have I would give up everything I have in a heartbeat for, think about that." I said, stabbing my finger into his chest and he went white then. "Easy baby, I don't blame you for being ticked off right now, but you start going it right now. You're both getting two weeks, but his ignorance is digging him into a very deep hole." Minerva said gently and I nodded to her.
"The problem is with Ben being like the doctor that treated Kessler, he would agree to this, when I said this, but why did it take a month long recovery, before instead of the moors. It ends up in the capital of England, and we get a rampage?" I asked and she nodded. "For the same reason everyone is seeing this as crazy there is no evidence, nothing at all. To prove he's back or his army is amassing their forces again, without triggering the recall button, nothing happens."
"Just like there was no indication of a wild animal running loose as he sees the dead body of the werewolf that attacked him. As if there was a wild supernatural wolf running loose, we'd see it on the telly, or read about it in the paper. And then gets his wish right now, as the manslaughter makes the front page the next morning. Before hearing from Kessler's wife he tried to get caged by creating a disturbance, to prevent a second now." Brendan said and I nodded in agreement.
"I can't believe that Hirsch never considered that, just cage him as they wait the night out, and back to normal in the morning, as they start doing this every month. Same thing every month, week of the full moon, he sets his cage up, a bunch of raw steaks in the corner. Straw on the floor, high intensive steel bars, and a secondary door outside the cage, and wait it out. As he wakes up curled up against the wall, and then gets dressed, and unlocks the door every day."
"Then again if the movie was true, we got them dropping in next, as David is still alive." I said and Patrick covered his eyes as Whoopi started laughing. "Yeah that or watching him from the control room within the high security portion of the hospital, in the basement. Everyone is upstairs, after they decided to check this neurosis and then realize what attacked him. Was what he changed into as they leave the cage door locked until morning." She said in response gently.
"I call this a male version to a menstrual cycle, everyday for a week he gets furry, and then back to normal for a month as the cycle repeats itself." Brendan said in response and he nodded. "As such right now, there is only one clear way of evidence, and it means changing things. From what you trained me to be, to actually getting brutal right now about it." I said and they nodded. "We know, but same thing, leave us evidence, and then come back." Fudge said gently to me.
"Exactly, that's just my point, two situations 23 years apart, they follow the very same pattern, without anyone seeing evidence, how can you trust his word. When I left you all the evidence you need to say everything is fine, he's dead." I said and the ministry, both versions nodded in understanding. "I hear the undeniable threat to produce evidence there is no coming back, what are you going to do, chop up the body?" Fudge said sternly and I nodded to him then gently.
"And leave the remains for the single second most dangerous threat in our world, David's alter ego wolf." I said and Penny cringed at that. "Oh my god that's disgusting, it's like the plant once it was big enough to start talking to you, act 3: after Orin asphyxiated on laughing gas." Billy said and they nodded in shock. "The one inside me is dead, and there is no way to come back, so with a feral running loose, he zero ins on the blood and the lightsaber cauterized the edges."
"But that seals the venom inside the limbs and bingo, he just ate a botulized body." I said and Fudge nodded sternly. "Food cans in our world, if they're bulging, could be contaminated with what we call salmonella, botulism is the excess gas that causes it. Eating something contaminated makes you sick by that I mean to your stomach for a few weeks." Ben said sternly and he nodded. "There's no coming back from a dismemberment." he said in agreement to that.
"As I erase the other to protect wolf cubs now, before they become cubs." I said and he nodded gently. "Son doing it like this, before we erase it from your memory, as you don't need to remember what you did, to insure he stays dead now, is plenty here. But you're right, you gave me and the MLE, the Control for magical creatures everything we need. Just to claim this, everything is fine, the headmaster finally lost the plot now." he said and I nodded gently then.
"As you kill the snake and leave him with the ring, wars's over, 4 years in advance, and you're free to live your high school life without worry now." Fudge said smiling and I nodded. "And again, all you have is his word, so with that." I said and Ernie smiled. "So he says, so Harry says, so he says, because Harry says, the point is where is the proof. Has he come out into the open, is there any indication his army is about to start twice?" he asked and Michael nodded.
"Aside from that, our fathers checked the cemetery, claiming quite the mess, though I won't say what, because he's trying to keep it blocked out. But sure there are two left, so what, he stopped him from creating a new body that's all that matters, so no. He's not back, the headmaster is just making trouble and Cedric is alive." he said and the rest of my order nodded. "All that is left is to arrest the ones claiming on the imperius and done." Seamus said to finish it.
"And with it destroy the snake and the bloody ring." Susan added and Ernie and Justin nodded in agreement. "So no, why should we believe the headmaster, when we can believe the undeniable evidence left to our parents by Harry, our champion at the auror academy." Hannah finished and they went pale along with the Patterson gang at that. "So now what, everyone that heard the news report from the MLE is going to agree now." I asked and they all went white at that news.
"What next, mate?" Justin asked and I smiled and Dumbledore started shaking. "My news reports repeatedly, but this starts a case of repeated meetings with him. And him trying to continually turn me back to his side, then it's ministry interference. But he attempts a coup, he just sealed the prolonged opinion the ministry had he's a power hungry wizard. One drunk on the power, he has from that wand." I said and he nodded and the Hufflepuffs nodded sternly.
"The boy who cried werewolf." Cedric said sternly and Patterson paled at the remark. "And to repeat the exchange between Jackson and Kinsey." Sarah said to that and I nodded. "Oh, of course there were." I said snidely and he said it quickly. "I am not crazy." he said and I nodded. "Nor am I, Patterson, neither am I unused to eleventh hour pleas, though never have I heard one so desperate as this." I said and he swallowed hard, realizing nothing he said changed it.
"That desperation to believe he is back, makes you a vigilante, even after I so thoroughly ended the problem, but things in the school, the school has become a school once again." I said and he swallowed. "We're free, our true Savior stopped him, before he got his body back and we win right now, but if you go down that road, we are arresting all of you. And your wands are getting snapped and your magic bound." Crouch said sternly and they and the Patterson gang paled.
"I call that a good reason for a rivalry here right now, the little monster is lording it over him, that he has a family and cub doesn't. But the little brat doesn't understanding Harry would give up all his inheritance for his parents and Rosie." Nordling said sternly from behind him and he went white as a ghost at that, as he ran his hand through my hair. "But you're as bad as Draco used to be, you deserve to be a Slytherin for that attitude, you don't deserve to be a Gryffindor."
"You should be in Slytherin for your behavior, always you, never think about me, he says I could be great, but you know what. It's because my heart is the heart of King Richard Lionheart, the great king, after Arthur was born now. That's why I love to read, but Richard was the best king in the history of England, after Arthur. You pick up a book sometime you learn plenty, but you're as slimy as Prince John." I said and he went green then as he backed up in pain at that insult.
"I think that says it all now, that criticism is most the painful thing you can say to a Gryffindor raised family student, that they never deserved to be in their family school house. Harry has the heart of a true Gryffindor, you're acting like a Slytherin." Minerva said sternly and Ron looked down sadly as the tears poured down at his face then at her remark and my observation then. "To get this conversation back on track, is a case over kill and only one way, the lightsaber."
"Before stabbing him in the heart and the one inside me is dead already, but there's enough venom going through his bloodstream after I do this. To kill a dinosaur, that's a magical version of a dragon." I said and the purebloods nodded in understanding. "But point made, how can he come back after that, followed by turning these off practice and….." I said and everyone nodded quickly. "Point taken, but being dismembered after poisoning." Crouch said sternly to that news.
"Followed by framing Peter for attempted suicide, but you get the point, there in the military we have a saying, but there is no kill like over kill." I said and they nodded. "And I call that over kill, just to make sure he's dead, his physical body, before he creates himself a new one. But 400mgs worth of basilisk venom, stabbed in the heart repeatedly, and to make sure now. It's by chopping the body into pieces, so tell me, how can he come back?" Fudge asked and they paled.
"I'm one of you now, I did the job so completely that his claiming this on Riddle are the rantings of a madman, and everyone that believes him. They are all vigilantes now, facing 20 years for conspiracy and sedition if there is an attempted coup de' atet in the school." I said sternly and the entire ministry nodded and the 9 paled at that remark. "Agreed, there's my claim now, he's amassing his forces to take on the ministry now: me." Fudge said sternly and they went white.
"You're not paranoid, you're considering the worst case scenario here, there is a difference, you lost faith in him, after you found Peter in disguise. And Junior is about to attempt to hide in this school, during the tournament, we know he's manipulating things. To do it, but he saw the dragons and told Hagrid, suggests summoning my broom, so learning the summoning charge. He passes Neville the book carrying information on Gillyweed, and he passes that to me."
"Pointing to the left once we enter the maze, he's telling me what direction to go in the maze, but clearly we know this is a trap, the faster I get to the hijacked one. And the better for all concerned, but I kill him and be done with, as we start clean up. During the following semester, but why, really why is everyone pro him, asking where I been all summer. Is that really any business of their's right now, you let me off with a warning." I said and he nodded then gently.
"No it's not, and the fact they are, is where you're, as leader of the Junior Inquisitorial squad is about to leave a basic blow to his planning, Binns is retired. Horace is back, Severus, if it went that way, is under watch, you cut contact with the duo and the Weasleys. And are making friends with my niece, Hannah and other students, but a mixture of this. And said time travel story, he lost all control over you and you can think for yourself." Amelia and he nodded sternly.
"And to repeat this, I know where my loyalties lay, and it's with the minister, at least he has the backbone to stand up to Dumbledore finally." Percy said in agreement. "Early graduation, and he claims you have more to learn still, but it's because you're out of his grip. While if you stayed with him, we claim it's your record and getting in trouble constantly. Is the reason you shouldn't be accepted at the academy, same difference: Riddle is dead." Amelia said and I nodded gently.
"You keep it up, you're graduating a year early, son." Kingsley said and I grinned at the news and Minerva chuckled at that response. "Our star pupil in being an auror, you're taking James's places at the MLE, and we still got a Potter in the program. But there's the you we know, but 7, possibly 8 years and then you're accepted into the auror academy." Fudge said and I nodded. "Yes Sir and I will make you proud, I promise." I said and he smiled as Amos rubbed my back.
"There is no point, we kill the snake and be done with it, as we let you be the one to destroy the ring, but he's dead and not coming back, Harry just made sure of that." Crouch said and Dumbledore started shaking in fear then as the Patterson gang and the duo paled. Now realizing everyone that believed me refused to believe he was back, now that I did it this brutally. "The wand is also destroyed after you knock Peter unconscious." Emmaline said and Dedalus nodded.
"The wand is destroyed, the body in pieces, Peter tied to the gravestone he did you, and you slashed his wrist open, we need anymore evidence Amy, Barty, Rufus?" he asked and they shook their heads sternly. "No, seeing the way he so thoroughly ended him like this, it just sealed the punchline closed, he's not back, Albus is just making trouble. So Dumbledore: is he daft or is he dangerous, it's both, he's suffering a psychosis over this." Fudge said for all of them sternly.
"Before heading for London, but if this means a trip to the hospital, if this Kessler is still alive, it's going to his wife and her supervisor. But year 5, is your OWL's year, more theory, less practical and not when we got our dueling club. And the Professor is in charge of potions now in high school here, the war is over, Harry can move on and live life, like a normal teenager. As that year comes the final game between the Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors, in a rematch finally."
"And I'm standing right here, as Harry knows I'm alive, as Harry and I are no longer rival champions, but brothers again, as dad checked in with Uncle Arthur." Cedric said and I nodded. "Just reverse the wording, we're pro ministry, anti Dumbledore now." Bill said and Arthur nodded in agreement to that. "Mum, dad, I have news for you both, in fact for you all." Percy called out and his parents smiled. "Here it comes." Cedric said laughing and I nodded with a smile then.
"Yeah he deserves this, we set the trap and both old fools fell right into it, my brother." I said as he clapped his hand into mine and their fathers chuckled at that. "Just glad you're safe son, good to have you home again." Amos said smiling at me gently then as he ran his hand through the hair at the back of my head and Percy smiled at that as he looked at his father. "Whatever happened at work today is the reason you're saying that?" Arthur asked smiling and he nodded.
"You know anything about this, if you're the said recommendation to said position, dad?" he asked and he chuckled. "Could be, but I want to hear it from you." he said smiling and he smiled "Well, The Minister called me into his office today…" he said as his parents looked at him. "I thought for sure he was going to release me and I would have to find another job at the office. But much to my surprise he offered me a transfer to another job, I couldn't really believe it."
"I'd have to be the youngest person to get such a high position in the Ministry and with the Minister of Magic himself, as his Junior Assistant. He said someone highly recommended me as well, so it wasn't like it came out of nowhere." he said smiling and they nodded. "I knew that was going to work out, nice work son, I'm very proud of you." Arthur said smiling then and he nodded, as Ron looked at him in shock then, as he tried to phrase it carefully then to him.
"Great work Percy I'm proud of you." I said smiling and he smiled. "Thank you my brother I appreciate that alot right now." he said and Ginny smiled. "Me too Percy, great work right now." she said and he smiled gently. "So when do you start exactly" I asked and he smiled. "Directly after you guys start school again." he said and I nodded and the duo exchanged looks. "The job starts after we start 4th and 5th year?" Hermione asked and he nodded and Ron said it carefully.
"Percy, as good as that is, don't you think it's odd that you've gotten a high end job in the Ministry right now. After what's happened lately…" he said and Percy looked at him sternly. "I don't know what you could be talking about Ron." said Percy slowly and he said it. "The Ministry is trying to discredit Dumbledore, because he's saying that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. He has returned and they don't want to admit it," Hermione said to him at that remark gently then.
As if she tried to get Percy to admit reason. "It's well known we're endanger and we're being moved to a safe place by Dumbledore, so his followers can't easily attack us." she said and I crossed my arms, waiting to hear the excuse. "Endanger, from what, from who, seems to me, you want him to be right, so you are right, and I'm wrong." I said and she paled at that remark. "Well sorry, he's lying, your great Dumbledore is a schizophrenic, claiming he is alive here."
"So everyone turns to Dumbledore, but no, there is no coming back from the utter brutality of a dismemberment and basilisk point right to the heart. And after Harry destroyed the one inside him right now." Arthur said and she started shaking. "Oh here we go, like I said guys, there is no kill like over kill, but the body chopped up, 400mgs of basilisk venom. With Greyback a feral, he zeroes in on the remains and….." I said and they nodded in agreement and she paled at that.
In knowing they believed me over Dumbledore now at that remark. "Point made, you just left Greyback a nice meal chopped up, killing two birds with one stone. All four limbs are poisoned as is the torso, and that venom can kill a werewolf." Amos said sternly and I nodded. "No more Greyback, means we can protect the cubs, and the school is just that, a school again. We can move on with our lives now, and look to the future." George said sternly and Molly nodded then.
"Repeated editorials in the paper, over the fact you ended him like this, before waking up in David's wife's hospital after barely blowing out your knee. Yeah we know, how can we be endanger still, when you chopped up the body, before framing Peter for attempted." Percy said sternly and they paled, realizing I was heading off the oncoming shouting match. "Known danger, is that what Dumbledore says, in he's claiming he's back, but how do you know that."
"I was MIA, for a month, wouldn't I, if he was back, just come back and report in immediately?" I asked and they went pale at that. "Nothing to be afraid of now, he's dead, he's not coming back, and the wand is destroyed, and every Death Eater. Said is scared to take even one step out of line here, knowing you're going to take that lightsaber to them. If they try anything else regarding us, your family, now." Arthur said and Ron swallowed hard, realizing he believed me.
"Indeed, wouldn't you come back immediately to the castle, but no castle, no shouting match, no third degree, though we had a parting of the ways. The minister is sick to death of Dumbledore trying to push his opinion on everyone and we're all thinking for ourselves now. But 1) you were missing in action for a month, 2) the landing after you deactivated the port-key. And then reset it, had you landing so hard you got a concussion here and barely broke it now."
"Said your leg, so why go right to London, why not come back?" Fred said and Ron paled and Percy nodded. "You been MIA for a month, and when we do find you, you were in a muggle hospital, two months recovery, and spent the rest of the summer in London. But no attempt at discrediting you, no attempt to get you expelled, no nothing right and with that. If you were now, why are you not losing your temper." Percy said in agreement and they went white at that.
"I did warn you, if he persisted in this, I was never taking back that retraction, for it was I that made sure that the headmaster's word is worthless now. He's lying, everything is fine, more then fine now, in fact, now that I erased the problem. We can finally have a normal high school life and move on from him at last, but are you really that mad. He's a schizophrenic, he's convinced himself he's alive, making him alive." I said sternly and she started shaking in fear.
"Saying of which, I been getting repeated messages in the paper, all saying every parent that believes me, is considering withdrawing their kids. Because of the exclusive in the paper, Dumbledore: is he daft or is he dangerous, answer, it's both. So in the eyes of the wizarding government he's had a schizophrenic break from reality. He's not needing his ego even more inflated then it is already, but he's suffering delusions of grandeur." I said and the trio nodded.
"I find that more likely then his making trouble, twins, baby, I'm sorry, but considering the circumstances.." Molly said and the trio shouted it out together. "No mum, please, please, we only got two years left with the twins' 'Us' in school together. We want our last two years, if there's trouble we come home, but we'll be careful, we promise." the trio said together quickly. "And that just says it all, he's got a serious mental screw loose here, and with that in mind."
"I find that really hard to believe, since aside from the scars, there is no evidence, as he's not shut down or in stage 2, or just entering it. There is no indication he has been amassing his forces, no indication that they're preparing to start up now again. Peter Pettigrew was arrested, Barty Junior was arrested, after Harry teleported to London instead of back to the school. Hard to fight the evidence, when Harry was missing in action and found by the wolf pack in London."
"Near busted knee, scrapes and bruises from shrapnel after destroying two gravestones by accident, spider bite. But no indication of the cruciatus curse on his body, my son is standing right here, Peter was arrested and kissed. Junior was arrested and he too was kissed, the sword was drenched in blood, and the lab tests came back. And the DNA was one of Tom Marvolo Riddle." Amos said, naming it off and Hermione went white at that, knowing they believed me.
"Amos and I went to investigate why he never came back and saw the utter carnage and we, Barty, Cornelius and Amelia all came to the same conclusion. He's dead, Harry killed him and to make sure he can't come back, he chopped the body up and left him to Greyback now." Arthur said sternly and she started shaking in fear, realizing it doesn't matter what they said. The ministry was sticking to what I left for them in evidence, while I was laid up in the hospital.
"I made the evidence beyond damning for the ministry, they're convinced he's dead, because I left them vital to prove it right now." I said and the trio nodded sternly in agreement. "Indeed, he left us everything we need to prove he's gone, even the wand is broken in half. Fudge has one side of it I got the other." Amos said, pulling the handle out with the wand and she paled at that remark, realizing everything I left for them left them convinced the headmaster was lying.
"You're all just taking his word in why he went missing?" she asked and they nodded. "We are, and why not, he never lied to us before, so why start now, and secondly here right now. He made it so utterly clear and that there is no way he could be back, by the utter brutality. But then why not, like Hercules defeated the Nemean lion, this works just as well now. But kill one titan to defeat another and he did it so completely that there is no way to come back from this."
"And the message left a permanent impression on the death eaters, so war over right now, but then why not, he's a ministry cub, like our own children are at the moment. But both papers are writing up some very interesting stories, but as Hirsch said right now. Mass neurosis, I call this a schizophrenic break from reality, as he convinced himself Riddle is still alive. Making him alive, and the death eaters are back on the rampage." Beth said and Molly nodded then, sternly then.
"I find that more likely then his trying to start a power struggle, but everyone in the order went to his remark, of Harry being the greatest hope we have, so trust him. And we do, we trust him with our lives, our young hero came home to us after being missing in action for a month. And we find evidence to the contrary on the wand and the sword, but a bombarda blast. Indicating he knocked Peter unconscious, followed by blood on the sword." Amos said to her then sternly.
"Indeed, he's trying to save himself right now by trying to stir up trouble, right now, why should we believe him, when we can believe Harry's exact evidence." Arthur said sternly and Percy nodded in stern agreement on his opinion. "What are you trying to say?" he said sternly and he said it. "Percy, 'we' think the Minister is trying to get you to spy on us, to keep an eye on what Dumbledore's up to," Ron said slowly to him and that did it then as Ginny and I nodded then.
"So you're convinced the headmaster is right and we're wrong, even after all the evidence is here, right here: broken wand, his scar is now fully healed. He was MIA for 6 weeks and the body was chopped up, okay maybe we need have to have Davis take a look at you. To see what he did to you this time, if you're in his pocket right now." Arthur said and they both went white, shaking, realizing we thought they were crazy, by this neurosis they had over Dumbledore then.
"And to quote you now, Fudge warned Dumbledore this could happen, he's going to get you all killed or worse, just because he can't face the truth, he's dead. Master of manipulation, head of a vigilante cult, Dumbledore is he daft or is he dangerous. Answer is he's both, but what I tell you guys, these two are complete nutters." I said sternly and the twins and Percy nodded. "Well looks like Daph', Draco, Luna, Neville and I are your new sextet love." Ginny said and I nodded.
"Indeed and Kingsley and the minister talked about this and the Defense Club just became the Junior Inquisitorial Squad for extra credit into the academy." Amos said and she nodded. "Great, extra credit into the academy, we can get in this way, but straight A's in every class. But this soon after you graduate, you did great, you earned this." I said, switching it back to Percy. "But this could be a trap, to spy on the family." Hermione said quickly, realizing we didn't care now.
And I swung my hand up. "To hades with the headmaster and what he thinks now, everytime something good happens, it could be seen as a trap." I said sternly and they went white at that. "Just like with dad, every time I had a chance to enjoy myself, you turn it back to dad, well now we don't care anymore, ever now. Percy you earned that shot, I'm proud of you, you earned this, bro." I said and he smiled gently at that. "But…" she said, shaking in fear at that remark.
"Uncle Xeno." I said and he nodded as he wrote down the next editorial in the paper, getting ready to send it to the editor of the Daily prophet as Hedwig sat on the table. "Girl, take the second copy to the Quibbler, Dumbledore's Army, a group of teenage vigilantes. Refusing to believe the word of the ministry that Tom Marvolo Riddle is dead, and Dumbledore is mad. Harry Potter is the leader of the Junior Inquisitorial Squad." I said and she gave a hoot gently to me.
"Won't leave it alone hmm, Uncle Amos, you saw the sword, it was soaked in blood." Ginny said sternly and I nodded in agreement. "I saw the body with 15 puncture wounds the size of your sword blade tip, so yes I know he's dead, but clearly the old fool is stirring up trouble. And your boyfriend is just getting over this and I thought we said never to talk about that!" he said sternly and the duo backed away from them in fear at that and his parents nodded sternly then.
"Hello, I am standing right here, if he was back, would I be standing here right now!" Cedric said to them and they started "If he was back, would Frank Bryce, Bertha and I still be standing here right now, we're alive to talk about it, Harry was in the hospital. And the trio from Lilkley were in the graveyard along with Luke Renfield and Tony Hanson?" he asked and Hermione started shaking, realizing neither his parents nor the Diggories believed a word of Dumbledore's.
"Ced', this goes back to the consideration, if he's not there to see the fight, then to him it's not over with right now, no matter what we say and they been dragged in." I told him and he nodded as he said it. "Shut up you little git's, shut up about that, Dr. Healey said he would get over it if we give him time. But he's still wracked up, both mentally and emotionally, now shut up!" Cedric said sternly and they went white, realizing they were trying to prevent a flashback.
"Oh here we go, so we're back to this again, everytime something good happens, with the rest of us you drag up it could have to do with 'him'. When Said buzzard is dead right now, can you put a bloody cork in it for once, he's dead, alright, he's dead. I know he's dead, because I have the bloody scars to prove it, look at my wrist, you git!" I said sternly, showing them my arm and Percy nodded sternly and they paled, realizing I knew this could be a divide and conquer.
"Arthur, I knocked Peter unconscious, before he could attempt it, my wrist is the evidence, as was the knife and the sword, so if my wrist doesn't have suture scars. What's this tell you right now, I maybe traumatized, but so what, there is no scar, so…" I said and Arthur nodded. "Yes indeed I agree with you, so why bother, we only had your word, but not enough. You just woke up and the doctor said you were remembering the said close call fight." Molly said and I nodded.
"Said we, is the we being the Anti Ministry/Pro Dumbledore believe this tripe." I said sternly and Arthur nodded. "Did the realization he could be suffering a psychosis be any consideration, because I did all the work and killed the tosser a second time for the fourth and final. In 14 years now, you think he's really back, well no, look at my scar." I said and they looked at the laceration on my forehead. "Once removing it, it healed completely." I said and Percy nodded.
"As did every other injury, your powers are no longer suppressed right now, Ben said it deliberately, after killing him, you kept the parsel-tongue powers. So we just kill the snake and the headmaster's lust for power is going to kill him in the end. By the ring, and you become the new leader of the light." Molly said in agreement and Arthur nodded. "And with those words in mind, the anti ministry believe this tripe, and you ruin my news, you two, so selfish here."
"Does everything have to be about Dumbledore?" Percy demanded, as he proved he was a Weasley by losing his temper slightly. "Maybe I just got the job because the Minister thought I was the best person for the job. Another thing, it's funny that you're taking Dumbledore's word as gospel, the Ministry must have some good evidence. Said that points to You-Know-Who being gone for good." he asked looking between them sternly at the remark and I nodded sternly.
"Ron, Harry was there, he said directly he killed the bloody tosser, he's dead, we're free now." Bill said to him, trying to pacify the situation. "Ah, yes, yes, Harry ever personally did say that he went face to face with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. And killed him the war is over, he destroyed 6 anchors, all that is left is the bloody snake and the ring and we got him. So why bother right now, we're pro ministry, Anti him now?" Percy said as he looked around at the duo.
"Indeed, Harry destroyed 6 anchors, and killed the snake, the basilisk, we just need a few quiet years, and secondly Dumbledore has been fighting evil so long. That he lost the plot, he seems utterly convinced that Harry has to die to insure he never comes back. So in the eyes of the head mental healer, he's suffered a break from reality right now, he needs serious help." Arthur said sternly and Ron looked at him in shock to the remark as she answered him then, shaking.
"And did anyone forget Severus gave me some potion to block the memory, so all you have is my word, I went missing for one month and ended up in a muggle hospital. But you find it odd that you're quick to believe the worst case scenario in the eyes now. And of the pro Dumbledore crowd, but you're refusing to consider why I was missing in action. And for a month here, if he wasn't dead, why do I have cuts and bruises left." I said then and showed them the lacerations.
As I took my shirt off as they saw the same scratches that Kessler had on his chest. "That's the knife, Peter was about to use on me, but rather then magical healing, I faked the injuries. And then sent myself straight to Hirsch and Nurse Price, to Kessler himself, they knew those injuries. But said blood loss, and my thigh, I had one chance right now, but with you following him, how can you find me, since the fight barely killed me." I said and they both paled at my remark then.
"You remember how freaked out your parents, dad and the faculty were when I was missing, and Hirsch found me?" I said and Molly wiped the tears off her face then. "Fight to the death, and though won, he is dead, based on the report by Ben, Hirsch said you looked like you did. After the fight with the snake, as the sword was covered in blood and you barely conscious. Before blacking out, been unconscious for a month." Molly said and Percy nodded sternly then.
"Exactly, that's just my point, all right here in the report, Harry pulled a retraction here, he was delirious, from both his leg and the spider. So in the eyes of Ben, and the mental healer, it's a hallucination, brought on by these things. How can he be back, have there been any sightings of him, are the Death Eaters amassing their forces again." Percy said and they swallowed hard. "He could be lying to get attention." Ron said shaking, realizing his family now refused to believe it.
"It's awfully strange that no one, but Dumbledore's spreading the word, I've been at Hogwarts for three years with Harry. And he doesn't seem like the type not to let something like this go quietly, just ask Dumbledore, he said that Harry was there, why would he lie?" Hermione asked her as she stood up to face Percy before she turned to Ginny. "If he was still alive, then why is the scar not showing brightly still, the cut is still a cut." Ginny said in agreement and I nodded.
"And instead said cut is now a scar, a real scar, so no, he's dead right now." Bill said sternly and Hermione started shaking, realizing there was no changing the evidence. "Ginny, tell Percy, you were there when Crouch questioned him." she said desperately at that. "To quote my book self in the last round, after Umbridge was terrorizing us at the school, I must not tell lies." I said and the twins hid a laugh as Molly only nodded bemused, as Ginny only smiled sternly at that.
"Hermione, Harry told Crouch that he could not really remember what happened in the Graveyard, only bits and pieces. In regarding Pettigrew, Pettigrew was arrested for attempted manslaughter, Harry killed 'him'. But he's dead, we're just luring those Death Eaters into a false sense of security." Ginny said in response as she looked her in the eye firmly without blinking. "I was there in the Hospital room when Crouch asked him and so were others here now."
"So there is no point, but Harry was recovering, the doctor said he's lucky, but the fight barely missed killing him and the wolves found him. The doctor blocked the memory, so he can't remember, said potion, the doctor and Severus erased it from his mind. Till he's ready to deal with it, which is a magical version to saying, he's still wracked up, mentally and emotionally. He'll get over having this trauma, if we gave him time." she said and they both paled at that.
"You're saying that could be all mental trap?" Hermione said, shaking at that remark. "Exactly, I do wonder how Dumbledore has managed to come to that conclusion myself. As perhaps the Ministry should investigate that, as it seems to me that he's using Harry's name. Just to gain credibility for his paranoid delusions, I fully support the Ministry in limiting Dumbledore's power. As it's obvious he's becoming a danger here and I think anyone who is in the league of him."
"Said should be warned of here, Harry killed him, he's dead, Dumbledore is clearly trying to create an uproar right now in the community. Claiming that stupid prophecy is all that matters he's back, if you really believe that, you are mad, both of you are." he said sternly to the duo. "Look Percy, if you're going to sell us out to the Ministry, then you're no longer welcomed in this house!" Ron snapped in anger, as he had lost his temper, but Percy just remained there coolly.
"Guess again, you are not the head of this family Ronald, I am, Percy, report back to the minister, we're on, we're watching him, through the twins, Ginny and Harry. My vital recommend, is the Shacklebolt/Tonks team, no practical this year, in defense. It's their OWL's, so theory is plenty, as the Dueling club can handle defensive." Arthur said sternly and he nodded sternly. "Yes Sir, I will dad, Harry, you're getting it, I guarantee it." he said and I smiled at him.
"If you want to follow Dumbledore straight to your grave, that's fine with me, I'll be sure to come to your funerals." Percy said to the duo as he looked at his family. "But I'm going to stand by the Ministry, they have the best interests for everyone in mind. Said is which is more than I can say about Dumbledore, at least the minister has the backbone. Just to stand up to him, and see passed the legend to the power hungry tosser he is." he said and that did it for the duo.
"So just like that, you're going to betray us for the Ministry!" Ron shouted angrily as he lost his temper. "Betrayal is such an interesting word coming from you Ronald, given what you and young Miss Granger did last year." Percy said to him coolly as he looked at Ron, who obviously was holding back a rant about me, but given that his mother had shouted at him. And for eight and a half straight hours after being ungrateful last time, he wisely held it in at that remark.
I knew his eardrums were still recovering. "If any of you wish to see the error in my way, I will be moving into a flat in London. I'll send on the address in a couple of days once I get settled in but until then, it's good bye." he said sternly and Molly said it sternly. "No need son, you're living at home still, your brother is in the isolation tower of the house now. You did your job, but with your mother and me pro, tell them my recommends." Arthur said sternly and he nodded.
"Alright that's enough out of both of you, Percival, go, tell him that the trio and Harry are going to do so." She added sternly and he nodded in agreement. "Love you mum, dad, I will never leave you, I promise." he said and they smiled gently. " Love you to son, report in, I'm checking in with Emmy and Sirius." he said as Percy left without another word at that and we ended it at that remark. "That make the point you two, we're pro, you're anti." I said and they swallowed.
"I made sure he's dead, and he convinced you he's still alive, so clearly, we need to get you away from him right now, but school, at home, the alley, the village. So all this says, he's brainwashed you into believing him and believing everything he says. But he claims everything he ever did was all for the greater good, that I have to die to complete the prophecy. But all that is just his psychosis talking right now, you are suffering from a hero worship complex, you two."
"You been sucked right into his delusions, look at all the accurate measures he's taking here to convince you he's right and the Ministry and I'm wrong here, in claiming Riddle is alive." I said, quoting Judge Reinhold and she paled. "Well if deprogramming is the only option then so be it." Ben said sternly and they both went white at that. "That and we're making sure they go cold turkey off the loyalty and love potions, said habit of his, eating wise is his own mistake now."
"But the minister is right in truth, 'Albus Dumbledore: headmaster of corruption, leading young sycophants into a war against their own government. Despite all evidence proven Tom Marvolo Riddle, AKA Lord Voldemort is dead by the hands of one Harold 'Harry' James Potter. The Boy Who Lived, now the Chosen, and the Auror Academy Champion, making it so we're free. And of living in fear of his coming back, Potter just went Jedi and he's really dead, but Riddle is dead."
"By one Harold 'Harry' James Potter, bringing back the broken wand of Tom Riddle and the sword of Gryffindor covered in blood. Potter, missing in action for a month prior to the leaving feast, certain members of his young cult refuse to accept the evidence. That solitary confinement in isolation towers maybe necessary as Potter creates a psychiatric wing in the hospital wing. To protect the students from his cult and the headmaster himself, until his control of them is done."
"While the ex trio of Potter is facing a psyche evaluation for this delusion, that Potter may have to have them committed for it." I said and she went white shaking, realizing nothing she was said was changing back my opinions. "Judge Reinhold, he played the stepfather of Tim Allen's son, convinced that being Santa Clause was all in Allen's mind. But they stopped believing in magic and Santa Clause at Kevin Bishop's age." Sarah said and Arthur nodded in understanding.
"Well that sounds eerily familiar right now, he convinced himself that Riddle is alive, making him alive, and we're still endanger, even when your brother brought back evidence." Molly said and Minerva nodded in agreement then. "Sounds like this man needs a mental healer himself, if he's refusing to see it when even the ex wife sees this." Beth said with a bemused smile. "That's what I said after seeing this at my current age." I said and she nodded as they chuckled then.
"So again, everyone not blinded by his legend sees this, he's crazy, dangerous, out of control, and a loose bludger on deck, he needs help. So clearly you need psychiatric help right now, he's a schizophrenic, the headmaster is a schizophrenic. Hermione, he's convinced himself he's alive, making him alive, when I brought back proof he's dead. But the minister is right, everything's fine, and I say the same, all is well." I said and she swallowed hard then at that remark then.
"Not true, that's not true." Ron said angrily and I crossed my arms. "Oh no, why is he so obsessed with me exactly, claiming only I can stop him hmm, why exactly. Well the reason is so he can have me killed." I said and they both went white at that. "But in the last round, Plummer realized his job had messed with his condition severely here. That he realized Crowe's character had a schizophrenic break from reality, he lost his grip on reality Ron, well so did Dumbledore."
"The Old fool is beyond senile, but he's brainwashing you, conditioning you, in training you to become an army, to go up against the Ministry." I said and he shook his head violently in denial. "Hermione did you ever consider he's been poisoning you with love and compulsion potions, making you love him so much. That you'll do anything he says, even walk right into the flames to prove your loyalty." I said and she started shaking, as they realized I changed completely.
"There thank you, that's just the point now, the old man is a schizophrenic, determined to have everyone love him, look to him to solve all their problems. But just what's wrong with thinking for ourselves, is he really all seeing, all knowing here. But just what's wrong in following our government, we can stop him years in advance by following Harry and the ministry!" Percy shouted and every adult witch and wizard nodded in agreement and the duo started shaking.
"I think you can get the point, we're not blinded by his legacy, but opened to what he has become in the last 30 years now." Minerva said sternly to them and she swallowed hard. "But call me brainwashed, well that's rich coming from you, a vigilante to your own government." I said and she went paled at that, realizing now that I spent all summer with the ministry. I had conformed in the way that every member of the ministry cubs had and they were heretics.
"To get this back on track, she doesn't need a baby sitter right now, right now, or you pretending to be a protective brother. Besides two adults, two 17 year old wizards, in the bleachers watching the scrimmages here is plenty. So why is this such a big deal, Percy is currently the oldest of the 5 of you and he doesn't mind right now." I said and Percy nodded. "Of course we don't, we love you like a brother, you're everything we want for her now in truth."
"So just get off your case, blast it." Fred said sternly and they swallowed hard at that. "I guess to a pro Dumbledore, you don't want me to be my own person, to fall in love here. You want me to be miserable, till one by one, he kills everyone I love, is that it?" I asked and they paled, realizing that's exactly what they said. "Well guess again, if I have to get separation from you, by his sending for your parents and telling Minerva, well then so be it right now, leave us alone."
"And not when the oldest of the family is Percy, he's the oldest, so partial babysitter here with us teenagers and Ginny 12 years old. So he and the twins get it before you do, always, as do Sarah, Billy and Oliver." I said and Ron flinched at that remark. "Saying of which, Professor, the 4 of us are taking turns watching from the bleachers, during practice that year. If he wants to spend time with her, we can be on watch." Percy said and she nodded gently to him at that.
"Like Severus, Rolanda, Kingsley and I are taking turns acting as the adult protector, but one of both of us should help here with that, he's not about to attack when you're surrounded." Remus said and she nodded in agreement. "Good point, after he broke in during Halloween, we start doing that, but just be on watch in case that theoretical turns practical." Minerva said gently and Poppy nodded in agreement as he gave a nod to her orders then gently at that remark.
"But he's right, he doesn't have to run everything by you, though he tells us and the boys and Sarah, his team, that's fine in our eyes, either way, we get told. But just because you're his trio, doesn't mean he has to run everything by you, but your reckless behavior. What may I ask would have happened if you never got back in here, before the moon came out. You know he's a werewolf, but the prophecy she gave him, tonight?" she asked and they both went white then.
"I forgot, but I remember now, so long as he takes his potion he's safe, he looks like a wolf the size of horse, but when he doesn't, he looks like the monstrosity on American Werewolf. That's An American Werewolf In London, stick to the roads, when in the moors, beware the full moon, I knew this for years, we went off the path, it's a full moon. And Severus and dad knew this, protecting us right now, this is the moors, we stay inside, we're safe right now."
"But you tattling on him, are you trying to get killed here, you remember Reverend Lowe, after Corey realized he found him right now. The power lust shot through him, after killing Randolph, Westrum, Corey's best friend, his girlfriend's father. And now, after getting caught by Corey no less, he realized there was no going back, as Catholics. Suicide is a one way ticket to hades, like he has the power of live over death over someone." I said and she swallowed hard at that news.
