A/N: I have updated chapter three on 7-02-2016.
A/N: Thank you all for the reviews.
A/N: This is a story from a Fan, Harry Potter is not mine
(BSC 2 C11) C41. Albus Dumbledore.
Harry and Bella woke up early in the morning. This would be the last day that they had to stay in the infirmary.
Bella was still thinking deeply about what Harry had done not so long ago. On the one hand she was very proud of him. The way he stood up against Albus Dumbledore was something not many wizards would do.
But on the other hand she was also very worried about him, because she knew Albus Dumbledore was very powerful. More powerful than her Harry was in this point of time. It was not that Albus Dumbledore was magically stronger than her Harry. No, that was definitely Harry; he was far above Albus Dumbledore when it came to raw power. But Albus Dumbledore knew so much more than her Harry did.
She knew that she had to help Harry now. He would do it for her, just as he had done it only a few days ago, and didn't think twice about it. Now it was totally different. She had seen it in the eyes of Dumbledore; there she saw that he was not happy with Harry and that he was planning something, which brought a strange feeling in her stomach.
Bella was not the only one who had seen it. Minerva had also seen it when she saw Albus walking away. The look he had in his eyes told her that her cub was heading for a fight of willpower. She knew she could not do much about it, but she would stand by her cub in everything he would do, because Albus would not get a second opportunity to take her cub away from her ever again.
With Poppy Pomfrey she had agreed that they would keep a close eye on Harry, because for the first time she could feel the protection that Lily had bestowed upon her.
Yesterday when there was a vibration that went through the castle, she could feel it go through Harry. She had seen it on the face of Harry when it went through him. When she had felt it she had told Poppy all about it, she was told that it must have been a part of the ritual from Lily.
She knew that Harry was stupefied in the hallway, that's why she was so fast to go to the infirmary. From that moment on she knew that she was really connected with her cub. Now she would know and feel when there was something wrong with him and he would feel the same thing with her.

In the office of Albus Dumbledore.
Albus sat behind his desk after another restless night. This morning he had two appointments which could be very important in the days to come. The first appointment was with Lucius Malfoy and the other was with Molly Weasley. He needed them both for the manipulation of Harry Potter. Without their cooperation there was not much he could do on his own.
Lucius would be there at eleven o'clock and then he could put the first part of his plan into operation. His only doubt was that he would say no and would not want to work with him.
For Molly, he had less worries. As long as Arthur would not interfere with the plans he had with Molly then everything would be okay.
At exactly eleven o'clock the fireplace blazed with green flames. Lucius came walking out of the fire and was closely followed by his wife Narcissa.
Narcissa did what a good witch had to do. She followed her husband in everything he did because the marriage contract expected it from her. No matter what her own thought told her, this was her place and it was at the side of her husband.
Albus pointed Lucius with a slow gesture to a chair and asked Narcissa what she wanted to do, because as a trophy wife she was not allowed to be present at the business meetings of her husband.
Narcissa asked if she was allowed to see the castle one more time.
Albus gestured to the door telling her that he agreed and Narcissa left his office.
Lucius immediately looked penetrating at Albus. "What is the reason that you invited me here today Albus." Was not the so friendly tone of Lucius when he asked that question? Lucius had not forgotten that Draco was placed in another house when he started at Hogwarts. And it took until Christmas before Albus had he him where he belonged.
"Lucius, I need your help. As you know we have a problem here at Hogwarts. That problem is named Harry Potter.
Lucius had looked anxiously for a moment but after the name of Potter he relaxed visibly. Something Albus did not see or wanted to see.
"Last year" Albus went on "He used his power to keep Daphne Greengrass in Gryffindor. If he had wished it he could have used that power to take Draco out of Slytherin".
Lucius sat there and looked questionable at Albus. "I can still strangle David Greengrass thinking about it" Lucius spat in pure hate when he uttered the name.
Albus shook his head and told him that it was Harry Potter who had arranged it.
"You want to tell me that a boy of only twelve years old has the board of governors in his pocket. And you can do nothing about it".
Albus look thoughtful. He knew that Harry had the biggest part of the board of governors in his pocket and the last thing he wanted was another power display of several houses in the great hall. "There's also something else Lucius, as you have probably read it, Minerva McGonagall is his Grandmother and Lucius Yes it is true. It is true that he is Lord Gryffindor and he is also lord Peverell".
Lucius became a little pale when he heard it. He counted it on his fingers and came up to three votes, four if you counted the votes of his grandmother. Potter had almost a quarter of the votes in his possession. And with his friends he had seven. This was half at any time because the black vote didn't count. Lucius could now see the problem Albus had with Lord Potter. "Okay Albus, what can I do to help you whit your Potter problem".
A smile appeared on the face of Albus Dumbledore. Slowly the eyes of the headmaster begin to twinkle. "Great, I need your help and also that of Draco" Dumbledore told him. "Draco is making Harry's life to a living hell and I want him to continue to do so. He can do anything to drive a wedge between him and his friends. I for my part will do anything to keep him out of trouble".
Lucius just looked at Albus. He had to consider his opportunities. With Albus in his pocket he could get a lot done if he played this right, when he asked if he could get some favours for Draco.
Dumbledore immediately agreed without any hesitation.
Lucius looked at Albus again and smiled. He knew it would be a good collaboration; he had Albus where he wanted him.
They Talked for awhile and made some plans. Albus also had an idea what he could do about Minerva, but he had to figure out how Lucius could help him with that.

Narcissa wandered through the corridors of Hogwarts.
She left the office of Albus and the first thing she did was to go to the great hall. It was mid-day, and she knew the lessons were in full swing.
Draco should have potions from his godfather at this time. So she would not encounter him in the hallway. Her journey through the castle brought on many memories from her days at Hogwarts. How she had walked here together with her friends and her two sisters.
Andromeda had always been there for her until she had fallen for Ted tonks. She was immediately thrown out of the Family by her grandfather.
Potter had taken her into his family. That was one of the things she appreciated from Lord Potter.
Draco had come home last year with stories about how irritating Harry Potter was, and also how arrogant he was and behaved. According to Draco, Harry Potter was an annoying and spoils brat and Albus Dumbledore did everything to put Harry in a good light. But there had been a very different story in the morning Prophet from a couple of days ago.
She let her mind wander and thought about the article From Rita Skeeter.
The Boy Who Lived
By Rita Skeeter.
Dear readers, Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived.
Our young hero who is not yet twelve, is often seen in Azkaban.
He's been there for the second time this summer.
The fact is that he goes there to visit his godfather Sirius Black.
Through intensive research this researcher has learned that Harry Potter still has a living grandmother
His grandmother is none other than Minerva McGonagall.
She is the transfiguration Teachers at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
During a process in front of the Wizengamot Albus Dumbledore lost the magical guardianship of Harry Potter.
During that process Harry Potter had shown the Wizengamot that he is lord over three houses and that he still had a grandmother.
They are House Potter, house Gryffindor, and house Peverell.
He has done this piece of leadership together with four other houses.
Those were house Longbottom, house Greengrass, house Bones and house McGonagall.
This collaboration has led to a new hearing for Minister Fudge himself.
This is because he openly insulted those seven houses in front of the Wizengamot.
It was in this session that, Harry Potter introduced his grandmother to everyone in attendance.
After that announcement he, Harry Potter immediately left the room.
Harry Potter with the other houses withdrew themselves in a room in the leaky cauldron, and left the Wizengamot session to the adults.
They did not want any attention or focus on themselves.
That was what there spokeswoman Arabella Figg informed us.
Harry Potter also wished to be left alone.
Further More, Harry Potter has taken the sister of Bellatrix Black,
the well known Death Eater better known as Bellatrix Lestrange.
The sister Andromeda Tonks and her daughter Nymphadora Tonks were brought into his family.
Recently, Mr. Lestrange was thrown through the veil.
In doing so he completely disinherited his wife Bellatrix.
It was also revealed that Bellatrix Lestrange, who now again is known as Bellatrix Black has been put into another marriage contract with someone else.
However, it is not known with whom.
And everything is being kept a secret by Amelia Bones.
There are rumours that Harry Potter also visited Bellatrix Black in Azkaban but I don't know if that is true.
Worthy readers I'll keep you informed, if new evidence is found.
Rita Skeeter.
Narcissa quietly walked on through the corridor and thought about her youngest sister, her little sister Bellatrix who was now in Azkaban. She could not understand how her sweet little sister became such a bad person. After reading that prophet article she decided to go and visit her in the near future.
Slowly she walked towards the infirmary. Her favourite person in Hogwarts had always been Poppy Pomfrey. She always wanted to become a magical healer. But as the wife of Lucius she had to be beautiful and a wife of a Lord nothing less and nothing else. Her marriage contract told she had to follow her husband and do whatever he asks of her.
She walked into the infirmary and looked around. On one of he bed laid a boy and on another a girl, in front of those beds stood Poppy Pomfrey exactly how she remembered her. Narcissa walked over to her and greeted Poppy friendly.
She looked at the two students who were lying on the bed and smiled sweetly at them.
They both said "Hello Miss" in unison.
Narcissa looked at them and saw the scar on Harry's forehead, she swallowed and said. "Hello Lord Potter and goodbye miss".
"Bellatrix, Bellatrix Figg."
Narcissa pulled both eyebrows all the way up. This cannot be happening, she thought. This girl looks exactly like her little sister. But Bellatrix had no children, because she had taken care of that herself.
Was it perhaps a child of her older sister? No, it was not because that was Nymphadora. But she looked so much like Bellatrix.
Speechless she was taken along by Poppy to her office.
Harry and Bella looked at each other a bit surprised and Harry whispered, "That's your sister Narcissa, the mother of that excused for a wizard named Draco".
In the office of Albus Dumbledore.
Albus Dumbledore had talked for another hour and agreed with Lucius on a couple of other things. Around one o'clock in the afternoon, he and his wife Narcissa left the school through the floo in the office of Albus Dumbledore.
Narcissa who still did not understand why Bellatrix Figg looked so much like her little sister. Decided to say nothing to her husband Lucius, nor that she had decided to go to Azkaban and visit her sister just like she wanted to visit her other sister.
Albus who was now sitting alone in his office began to prepare himself for the meeting he had with Molly Weasley. Molly was a little harder to deal with because Albus had promised her much more than he had promised Lucius.
Ron would be the best friend of Harry, so that he could be everywhere where Harry was to spy on him. He would also be known as the best friend of Harry who would give him the fame Ron so desperately wanted. But Albus however had not told Molly that it could resolve in the death of Ron.
And this year, Ginny would make an appearance in Harry's life, something that was already looking good, because he had seen Ginny sitting next to Harry, when Molly came to Hogwarts last year. Ginny has to do anything to win the heart of Harry. If she would not, they could give her and Harry a love potion to help them on their way.
Molly had done the same thing with Arthur when she was younger. And to this day they were happily married and had seven children. So that was a solution that could work for Ginny if everything else would fail.
But Dumbledore had never thought that the sorting hat would put her in another house. Now he has to convince Molly that Ginny could still be with Harry. And she still could get the Potter fortune when they were together.
It was two o'clock when Molly stepped out of the fireplace. Without waiting for an invitation from Dumbledore she just sat down in a chair.
Albus looked at her and could clearly see that she was angry. The first year Ron was put into another house and the same thing happened to Ginny this year. Last year, he was still able to turn that decision back, but that was something that was not going to happen this year. Harry had made it clear that he would keep an eye on him. No, the biggest mistake he made was that he wanted to put Daphne into another house. So this year he had to do it differently.
"Thank you for coming so quickly Molly" Albus said in a friendly tone.
"No, none of those empty promises of yours. You know as well as I do what you have promised me for my cooperation in your plans. So why it is that Ginny is in placed in another house".
This was the first thing that Molly threw at the feet of Albus. Her eyes were fierce and full of hatred. Albus had promised her wealth and power. But until now there has been no wealth or power. Ron did not become the friend of Harry and Ginny was not even in his house.
"Well come on, Albus, you always have an answer for everything, what is your answer now".
Albus looked into her eyes and nodded. "You're right Molly". Albus stopped for a moment and then went on. "I promised you that Ronald could be his friend without much effort on his part, my ideas were correct. Unfortunately there was another girl who had formed the first friendship with Harry. Her name is Bellatrix Figg. I do not know how or where it happened. But my guess is that Harry met her on the train. That however is not so much the problem. No the problem lie somewhere else".
Now Albus held his mouth for a moment. He carefully looked at how Molly handled the news. He knew he needed Molly. Well actually he needed Ginny. Molly and Ron were just easy helpers. Ginny was the one he needed to seduce Harry.
Molly thought deeply about what Albus had told her. "What's the problem Albus if Bellatrix Figg is not the problem"?
This was the question that Albus expected. But again he was asked himself what he wanted Molly to know, but mostly what not to know. So he weighed the options he had. One was heavier than the other. After a moment of silence, he made his decision.
"Well Molly the thing is., Harry has three friends. Two of them can become a problem for us. They are Daphne Greengrass and Susan Bones. Now those two are not really the problem but their parent's en guardian are. I'm talking about David Greengrass and Amelia Bones".
Molly nodded in agreement and knew what Albus meant. Amelia was the head of the auror's and David was a former auror. In both cases, they could provide the problem because of what they knew.
Albus Dumbledore looked away from Molly for a moment and continued. "There is another person we have to be careful around and I regret to say it, but it's Professor McGonagall. However I know what to do about her only that is for another time".
Molly looked at Albus when he told some of his ideas. He had a sly smile, the kind of smile that does not bode well. The only thing Molly could do was agree.
Albus could also find a solution for Ginny. After a while Molly looked approvingly at Albus Dumbledore.
It was less than fifteen minutes later that Molly left the office.
Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk and thought for a moment. Molly was a simple soul. He had not only told her nothing and only promised her that she would get all of Harry's Gold. And as soon as there was a promise of gold, than Molly was about to do anything and everything for just a bit of it.
The proof had already been delivered when she left Ron and Ginny in his trust without any comment what so ever. Fortunately Ron was just as greedy as his mother, something Albus would use to his benefit.

Harry and Bella.
Harry and Bella were told that they were allowed to leave the ward for the evening meal. Now they would finally start their own school year. After they gulp down their last potions they were free to leave.
Their friends were already waiting at the door and together they walked towards the great hall.
Bella asked Daphne what kind of punishment Ron had gotten for what he had done.
Daphne immediately looked down at the floor and had a tremendous interest in a crack between two stones.
Bella just waited until she could not stand it any longer. "Daphne, what punishment did Ron received" she asked again. Only this time it was with a little more emphasis on the last bit of the question.
Daphne still dodged the look of Bella and mumbled something that no one understood.
Now it was Harry who wanted to know and asked what it was she just said.
Daphne got a little anxious and asked if they would not be angry at her.
Harry and Bella looked surprised at each other and nodded yes.
With a sigh Daphne looked up at them both. "When Aunt Mini heard what Ron had done? She came into our common room to punish him for what he had done. He got three weeks of detention with her in her office".
Both Bella and Harry were happy with that punishment and Bella was especially happy that Harry did not had to go after him.
Neville was now walking next to Harry and had an arm placed around his shoulder holding him close to him.
Bella glanced at Neville and suddenly stopped dead in her track. "Okay Neville, out in the open with it, why is it that you're holding Harry so close to you".
Daphne started to cry slowly and looked up at Harry.
Harry raised an eyebrow and looked amazed at Daphne. Harry slowly nodded that she could say what it was she had to say.
"The day before yesterday would be the first day Ron would have his punishment with aunt Mini. But just before he had to leave the common room for his punishment Professor Dumbledore entered the common room and told Ron that he would not receive any Punishment".
The anger within Harry began to bubble up.
Daphne saw it and immediately held his hands.
Harry became quiet and looked at her. The green eyes made her knees go week but she kept herself standing.
"When Dumbledore had undone the punishment of Ron, we went to him." Daphne stopped and hesitated whether she should continue.
Bella was now standing beside her and gave her a little push to go on.
Daphne nodded and went on hesitant. "We went to Dumbledore and told him what Ron did. But it did not matter to him. According to Dumbledore it was your own fault. If you hadn't dived in front of Bella, you would not have been in the infirmary. And because it was your own fault Ron would receive no punishment".
Bella was stunned when she heard it.
Harry looked at Daphne and slowly slumped to the ground. The pain and the disappointment he felt was readable on his face.
Daphne looked guilty at Bella and squeaked "sorry".
Bella grabbed a hand of Daphne and squeezed gently. Then she immediately grabbed the hand of Harry and Daphne grabbed his other hand.
Harry looked at them both and stood up. His gaze turned from disbelief to pure rage. He walked between the two ladies and headed to the main hall.
He had not yet released the hands of the ladies. They had to run to keep up with him as he walked towards the great hall. At the door, he looked around and let go the hands.
At the back near the head table was Ron. With great strides and an aura of pure rage he walked up to Ron. Just before he arrived at Ron, he was stopped by a hand on his chest. Slowly he looked upwards and saw Albus Dumbledore standing next to him.
"Harry my boy. You do not want any punishment for what you are planning to do with Ron no do you" The fatherly tone Albus has fared in the eyes of Harry.
"Albus, you want to stop me if I do something with Ron. Or are you waiting for me to do something to Ron." There was nothing friendly in the voice of Harry when he spoke to Albus.
Albus looked at him and shook his head sadly. "Harry, I'm called Professor or headmaster you know that." Albus thought he had been clear enough.
Harry who was already angry became much worse. He wanted to have a go at Albus.
Bella saw it and pulled him back while Daphne stood before him and opposite of Albus Dumbledore. "Dear Headmaster" Daphne said sarcastically. "How much I appreciate the fact that you want to be called Professor or headmaster. I myself cannot escape the fact that you do not show the same courtesy toward Mr. Potter here".
Albus felt himself becoming annoyed at Daphne and wanted to reply with some harsh words of his own.
"ALBUS, I would listen to Mrs. Greengrass if I were you". Minerva's voice sounded from behind him.
Daphne nodded to Minerva and went on. "As you know, Harry is Lord Potter. You should therefore call him Mr. Potter or Lord Potter. But those are the names that you do not use. It is also true that Harry here is Lord. Peverell, and therefore he earned the same respect as you do. If you still do not understand what I'm saying". And now Daphne looked a little condescending at Dumbledore. "Harry is also Lord Gryffindor and therefore he is your superior in this castle".
It was at this time again that there was another vibration that went through the castle there. Again Harry and Minerva felt it go through their bodies.
Albus felt it to and looked anxious at Harry and immediately walked away.
However, Harry found it a soothing feeling. He brought his eyes to Albus who was walking away from them "Good riddance" Harry cried.
Bella and Daphne struck him hard on the shoulder.
"AUW" the voice of Minerva Sounded while she grabbed both of her shoulders.
Everyone looked astonished and began to laugh loudly. No one had seen Ron walking off. They only notice that when they took a seat at the table.
Harry took it upon himself to get back at Ron when the opportunity arose.
At the Slytherin table sat Draco Malfoy. Bella tapped Harry on the shoulder and pointed at the spot where Draco was sitting. "I still cannot believe that Narcissa is the mother of that monster. She was so nice in the infirmary when we last saw her" Bella whispered.
Harry glanced at Bella and whit some reluctantly he had to agree with what she said. He could not deny that Narcissa Malfoy seemed nice. In his mind he wanted to do something for her because he had seen the haunted look she had in her eyes. He could still remember that Narcissa ordered Dobby to assist them. It was only in a reminder but in the reminder she been just as nice. But he knew that now was not the time to ask her anything.
That evening Dobby was sitting in the four poster bed of Bella. She looked at the little house elf and sat down with him. With a glance she looked around her bed at the curtains of her bed, everything was closed. "Okay Dobby what is it".
The little elf looked guilty to Belle and mumbled that he could not say.
Bella was slightly irritated but tried not to show it.
"Dobby is here to say that Master Harry is not allowed to play Quidditch. Master Harry is not safe".
Bella looked at him and immediately asked. "Dobby what have you done".
The elf looked guilty and said to Bella. "Dobby has given a letter to Master. And Dobby cannot say anything. But Master Harry is in danger. Master Harry not play Quidditch".
With a pop Dobby was gone. Bella crawled out of her bed and immediately told the story to Daphne. The rest was already asleep; so they would hear it in the morning.
A/N: Thanks for reading, see you again in two weeks.
Greetings, Winmau.
