Hey all. Do comment what you think about this chapter. The things I have written here are what I thought after reading the books multiple times. On the side not, there would be no three ways, harems or multiple wives in this fic. The relationships are pretty much decided and won't change. No redemption for any bad guys, except Dumbledore. Remus is not going to appear much or given much space because I don't like him , as simple as that. Sirius will be out for some time, but he will come back. The mystery about Harry's parents bodies will be answered soon. Yes, the fic might end up as world building, most likely like Novacaine. Voldemort will have a major arc, but it will not be long. Yes, I do have some big magical fight scenes planned. The only one I have written is already more than 5000 words long, and it's just between Dumbledore and the death eaters that had attacked the campsite at World cup.

I hope that answers most of your emails. Replying to each email separately is a tedious job, so most of the time your emails will be answered in this ways. The comments section will still get their replies.

Anyway, thank you and keep reading.

BTW every Indian or a person living close to IST reading this fic, I need a beta, anyone interested?

TRACEY DAVIS

When the memory of their night at the Malfoy manor stopped, the silence in the room was quite heavy. Nearly everyone in the room had cried at one point or another. Either from watching their children do something horrible or after hearing the list of crimes the Malfoys had confessed to. Everyone sitting around that table had suffered because of the blonde-haired family. Lucius had admitted to participating in Madam Bones family's, Gideon and Fabian Prewett's, and Jean's parents murder; Narcissa had told how she had been the one to kill Dora and who had given Ted Tonks to werewolves for spoiling her sister along with the murder of Mrs. Weasley and Ginny. But it had been Draco's confession that brought out the most emotions. The ponce had confessed with pride about the assault on muggle-borns in Hogwarts, things he did while ruling Slytherin in his school years, and finally, how he had shared Astoria with his friends. A few more of his heinous acts would have come up if not for Mrs. Greengrass asking them to stop. After giving them time to settle down, the memory had started again, this time showing what had happened to the family after the confession. Lucius has died painfully at the hands of Sue, Jean, Bill, and Fleur. Narcissa had died screaming at the hands of Audrey, Angelina, Fleur, Percy, and Charlie. Draco had suffered the most with Ron, Daphne, George, and me ending his life. Once it was done with, Harry had used the Fiendfyre spell to burn everything in the manor and around it. The image where the memory had stopped was of an enormous burning owl sitting on the top of a ruined Malfoy manor.

It was Mrs. Granger who reacted first, her eyes switching between a hard-faced Jean and the memory.

"I was dead? Wh... My daughter ... she couldn't do that." The last line came as an exclamation, and she couldn't stop the snort that escaped her.

"That's a misconception, Mrs. Granger. I know people think of her as a simple bookworm, but Jean is the most vicious person in our friend group. And in some ways, you are the one responsible for that."

The anger which had been buried inside her for so long, started bubbling forth after finding its target.

"Weren't you the ones who always told her to suppress the anger when she was bullied? You didn't do anything about it, asking her to let it go. You didn't interfere when she started spending her entire time in the library, didn't care when she had no friends, right. You treated it like it was an everyday thing. Guess what, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, it was a regular thing. She might have suppressed her anger, but it affected her. Jean is a very vicious person when she wants to be. You have no idea about her and what she is like. You might have allowed her to go to Hogwarts, but you never tried to understand what it was to her, instead pressuring her to keep focused on the muggle studies during the few months of free time she had. Did you ever wonder why she has preferred to spend her holidays on trips or with the Weasley family?"

"But she is a girl..." A feeble protest came from Mr. Granger.

"So what. For all the harping about how good the muggle world is, you lot still treat the girls as softer than boys. At least the magical world doesn't do so."

She would have said more if not for her wife's hand landing on her shoulders. The hardened brown eyes were just asking her to stop, so she did. Harry spoke up soon after.

"You know, Ron was the first one to notice this about Jean, and probably the only one for a long time. In our first year after she had stunned Neville, his exact words were, "You're a little scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant, but scary."

A smile appeared on Ron's face as he added that particular memory to the Pensieve. Once it ended, Percy seemed to realize something.

"The 10 points Longbottom got for standing up to friends; it was for this incident."

Dumbeldore was the next to speak, draining all the lightness of the situation with his words.

"Are you all planning to repeat the same... event in the past too?"

Harry answered the question as the Headmaster was looking at him.

"No, Professor. But no longer will we just suffer as we used to. I have no intention to become a psychopath, but I will not let things continue as they are. We were unable to do anything in the future, but now, we have the opportunity to do something, and we will do it."

She knew he had intentionally left the answer open-ended. Soon after, Harry brought up the next memory.

"Although we felt vindicated after Malfoy Manor, we had not considered the ripples that would spread due to the attack. Less than a month after it, Professor McGonagall died in her sleep at Hogwarts. St. Mungo's ruled out the cause as an injury she had gotten the night Umbridge had attacked her with some Aurors. Aurora Williams, a muggle-born who had been rescued from her abusive relatives by Professor, didn't take the news well. She attacked Umbridge a day after the Headmistress's funeral and left behind a beheaded body on a cross. Aurors found her soon, and she was executed shortly after. The Wizengamot reacted to these attacks by making more stringent laws for attacks on purebloods and ministry employees. We were still dealing with these new laws when the retaliation for the Malfoy Manor attack came.

The Burrow and the Greengrass manor was attacked the same night. By the next morning, only Bill, Fleur, and Ron were left of the Weasley family and Daphne of House Greengrass. A few days later, House Davis came under attack, followed soon by attacks on DA's remaining members. By the time the attacks stopped, only a few of us were left. The Aurors could never catch any attackers, and we all were nearly imprisoned in our homes.

We were facing internal problems too. The DA had been fractured. Neville had married Hannah Abbott after being pressured by his Grandmother. Hannah gave him an ultimatum to chose her or keep friendship with us, his Grandmother supporting her. Neville, who always had her Grandmother to decided things, once again bent in front of the older woman. Lavender had gone rogue, hunting down werewolf with ruthless determination, Dean had been tortured into oblivion, and Zacharias Smith had joined with House Nott, the new leader of the Dark faction.

Then a year before we left that timeline, the Wizengamot brought a new law for consideration. Any magical with the slightest power difference was to submit for examination. After reading the law, it was clear that it was written with keeping Harry in mind. We fought against the law, and the public support for Harry kept the ministry from going against him. But they soon changed their aim, and Teddy became the next target. This time, we lost. The law was passed and Teddy was to be taken away the next day. We left the morning before the hit wizard force was to arrive to take him.

The memories will show you some of the things that I just told and some which were not mentioned. These are the last of the future that will not happen anymore."

The memories started once more, with the first one being of the day Harry and Daphne got married. The other marriages came up too. Some more significant moments like each of them taking up their rings followed it. Harry paused it when Ron got his Lordship ring.

" I passed on the Gryffindor Lordship as I already had four others. The Gryffindor magic takes into consideration of the previous lord while choosing the next head. With Neville having become estranged, I decided to ask the Hat for help. It recommended Ron. We all were surprised when the ring accepted him, even Ron himself."

Ron was nodding along with a smile on his face.

"I tried it as a joke; freaked me out when it solidified on my finger; the rush of magic that followed knocked me out for hours."

After a few more questions, Harry started the memories once again, which had started to become dark. The days when they learned about the state of other DA members came next, followed by the morning they received the news about the attack on the Burrow and Greengrass manor. Jean's parents' funeral also made it in, along with the constant rejection of anything Harry tried to change. The attacks they all faced, both physical and psychological. The session of Wizengamot, where they all were denied from taking their seats was also included. Then came a memory, one she had not thought upon a long time but had felt quite happy when it had happened. It showed a large bonfire, right in the center of the Diagon Alley. Along with a large number of burning books and parchments, there were also toys, collectibles, and memorabilia, all depicting Albus Dumbledore in one way or another. Harry paused the memory there and spoke up.

"This fire was not a simple act of vandalism. It was an effort made by a large group of people, all of them ex-students of Hogwarts. This group included Pureblood, muggle-borns, and half-bloods. The only thing unique about them was that they were members of three out of Hogwarts' houses. I assume you all understand which house members were not a participant in this."

She decided to take this one up, as it was clear Harry still had some respect left for Dumbledore. Her fake cough stopped him, and after glancing at her for a second, he signaled to continue. Her tone held quite a mocking quality as her eyes connected to the old blue ones.

"This burning was the last step of a process started years ago, Professor. I don't think you ever realized it, but your habit of letting students and people get away with doing anything was creating resentment in people among you. I am not just talking about the things you let Malfoy and others do without any repercussion. No, I am talking about things long back, when we all were not even born. The pranks that Harry's dad and his friends pulled without any fear, the war between the famous groups of Gryffindor and Slytherin, which most often than not ended up involving innocent students, the many time's cruel acts of the Weasley twins, and finally, your crown act, ignoring every complaint about Snape and failing to control him. When Harry refused to support the campaign for getting Snape an Order of Merlin and spoke up publically about him, other people started pouring in. Tales about things that the potion master had done, careers that he had ruined, people who he had systematically tortured in their school years, and the things he had saved Slytherins from. Everything started coming out.

Soon after, someone did significant research and proved that the only students that you had let go were purebloods or Halfbloods from famous families. You had never interrupted or encouraged muggle-borns as much as you did others. You never harmed them, but you never supported them too. A few days later, another article appeared in the daily prophet. It showed how laws were passed under your tenure as Chief Warlock, which strictly targeted the muggle-borns. All this, along with the book Skeeter had published two years ago, filled the cauldron right to the brim. When it finally spilled over, it was not because of what you directly did, but what happened because of your inactions did. A muggleborn whose parents were Psychologists came up with a theory that since the people had learned in their school days that their attackers would not get punished, they never tried to fight the death eaters even after graduating. He called it something mentality; I don't remember exactly. This came out the same day a hidden study of DMLE was found. A team under the guidance of Madam Bones and Headunspeakable had surveyed and found that since you had let Snape join Hogwarts, the number of new Aurors and Healers had continuously fallen. With his harsh selection of students for advanced classes, only purebloods or extremely lucky half-bloods were able to apply after graduating Hogwarts. The muggle-borns that did usually dropped a year to study by themselves and then applied. There was also the point of dropping the potions' quality, as the brewers were mostly self-trained or not good enough due to not having adequate teaching. The final thing that the study concluded was that Snape's actions were indirectly responsible for at probably 70% of deaths in the war and the time before.

This proved to be the spark that was needed. Every section of the society went into an uproar, and soon, unrelated things about you started coming up. Your brother's pub was trashed and burned to the ground; his body was found lying on your desecrated grave two days later."

Her voice had turned soft and regretful now. Aberforth was a far better person than Albus Dumbledore but still had to pay for his brother's actions.

" It was clear to everyone that he had been tortured before his death. A movement started to remove all your mention from Hogwarts and other places, and people related to you had their history under check. Hogwarts came under the direct control of ministry after the revelation, as the Wizengamot did not want another dictator like you, or so they said. Even the ICW joined in, and you were stripped of every honor posthumously. Every book you had written, every paper you published was collected and burned in the fire you just saw. When things finally settled down, all that remained of your long life was ashes.

Albus Dumbeldore's name was placed right next to Tom Riddle and Grindewald, and you were freuqently termed as manipulative old coot, dumbles, dumbledork, master manipulator..."

"Tracey, that's enough."

She was shocked when a wave of magic nearly threw her off the chair. Harry had stood up from his seat and was glaring angrily at her. At that moment, she was reminded why none of the those that had attacked him, survived the encounter. His hair was flowing with the visible wave of magic around him while his eyes glowed. But the sight of a heavily sobbing Dumbledore finally made her think that she might have gone a little too far. Nodding, she eased back on her seat, the ever-present anger inside her lighting up a little.

PLUMS:- With four different fics going on the same time and my daily life, I don't have time to sit down and write the entire fic. Not to mention I have no intention of doing it one sitting. I am sorry if you don't like it but it will keep going as it is.

DESPICABLE ANGEL:- Yeah, I wanted to keep the youngsters not take the full brunt. Plus it owuld have destroyed their trust in Dumbledore.

PASCAL DRAGON:- As you would see in this chapter, Narcissa is not redeemable. Harry already has a good support team so there was no need for her.
