A/N So I have been tested and came back positive for Covid on teusday. I am in quarantine till the monday after next at earliest. I am also losing my steam on this story so I am trying to wrap it up while my muse is still working. (not easy to do when you feel like crap.)

My prayer and regards to all who have or had the Covid as it was always a serious threat but too many dont see it that way. :(

I will not be proofreading the rest of the chapters as closely so there will be plot holes and errors. but please enjoy the story as it is. perfection is only an illusion but entertainment is the goal.

ALso just to be clear this will start the true fall of the Great Albus Dumbledor's reign. And the rise of Harry new life.

Chapter 9

Breakfast was somber after Harry explained last night's passing. Even Starma did not realize the old one was still there. Sirius was just happy for Harry doing as he did. He also asked if the King enjoyed the test last night. Harry reminded the man that as king he was honor bound to aid in the next generations. Meaning sleeping with as many of the Lamia that ask him to. He added he wanted Asha's input and permission first. He got a kiss while Sirius got a smack to the head. Hemma and Hedwig came in and before anyone could say hello young lamia rushed to hug Harry. The old woman was her great great aunt.

Back in Britain…..

Dowager Augusta Longbottom and her brother Saul Croaker watched in awe and terror as Neville walked into the Informal dining room with an Occamy around his shoulders. "Good morning Gran. Morning Uncle. Lord Harry Potter sends his Holiday wishes and asks if we are allowed to visit him and his wife for two days before christmas. I also have to go over to the Abbots as he sent her an invite to me."

Uncle Croaker was staring at the calm serpent on the boy's shoulders. "Neville did you know there is an Occamy on your.."

"Well Yes, Snip here delivered the letters and we have to go to the Abbots so he can take both our replies back. I bet he sent Snap to Susan. Oh these are actually the Royal Postal Occamy for his wife. Now It only says it is for you Gran in your official title and myself. Do you wish to reply?" He handed her the letter without a care to the passenger on his shoulder that was nuzzling his neck. With a simple raised hand he stroked the Ocammy's neck and beak. The thing looked like a content kneezle.

After reading the letter Madam Longbottom decided she really needed to accept as it would answer so many questions and it would be at a place she had heard of from James and Lily but never got to see. "Neville please see if the arrangement for the two days a week before Christmas and yule will be available. And I will be there if the Abbots cannot go with Hanna, she seems to be a very bright and talented young lady."

Neville smiled and headed to the floo. The Ocammy slid off to let him call out first. "Hello Lord and Lady Abbot, May I come through. I have a letter from Lord Potter for Hanna and I am bringing a..err..guest you could say. It's not a person." They agreed and as Hanna stepped into the room Neville stepped out of the floo with Snip back on him. Hanna's eyes lit up and she ran up and petted the scales behind his eyes. That had her parents gaping at her and the, now lolled to the side, Serpent.

"Hi Neville, Why is Snip with you?" He handed her the letter and Snip slid onto her shoulders to get more of her pettings with its wings resting in such a way as to make her look angelic. Neville blushed a bit at the sight. He so wished he brought a camera. His attention was diverted when Mr. Abbot laid a hand on the boy's shoulder.

The man was calming but still keeping his eyes on the scaled creature resting on his daughter. "Mr. Longbottom, What exactly is going on and why did you bring an Occamy to my home?"

Neville smiled and patted the Man's hand. "Lord Potter sent an invitation to visit with him and his wife for two days before Yule and the holidays. Gran says that if you cannot go but will allow Hanna to, she will be going with me a week before Christmas. The invitation says there are three rooms available at first and other arrangements nearby. I believe The Grangers are already there and have taken to the other arrangements. Oh and that is Snip one of Harry's wife's Postal Occamy. Yeah we were surprised too at first. At least it's the Occamy and not Lady Black doing the delivery again. Did Hanna ever tell you about that?"

The girl in question handed the Invite to her mom and then stood beside Neville. She waited looking hopeful to go. Neville just smiled at her contained enthusiasm. Her mother looked confused but then handed the letter to Mr. Abbot. After his reading he looked at the serpent getting petted by the children and swore its tail was swaying like a cat. "I see, I will agree to this on the grounds that I get a vow of protection from Lord Potter for the length of your stay. I am curious as to whom this wife is and why we are not aware he is already married." Neville just grinned at Hanna who giggled.

She looked her Father in the eye and asked how anyone would react to a woman who uses Occamy, and a Draken ambassador, to deliver mail, being married to 'their' savior. Add to that she is certainly not British. He looked at the little Occamy again and realized the meaning. She would be scorned and it would lead to another incident like what happened to Lady Black.

Her mom finally came close and hesitantly reached over to the winged serpent. It looked at her hand and licked her before nuzzling the offered hand. She smiled and moved beside them admiring the creature and its antics for affection. "Hanna dear, do you trust in Lord Potter's wife to be good for him?" The girl beamed a smile and nodded. She then explained about the 'Great Mail Debate' against professor Snape. Even Lord Abbot was smiling at the logical prank.

Over in a different home, one Susan Bones was holding her laughter at her Aunt staring down the small Occamy wrapped around a scroll of parchment. The seal was of House Potter but the woman was not one to forsake caution. Deciding to end the silent battle, Susan walked over and looked at the Occamy. "Snap, may I have the letter please?" The thing turned and the tip of its tail wagged like a happy puppy before it slid in front of the girl and rolled onto its back. Susan freed the letter, handing it to her stunned Aunt while rubbing the length of the things belly.

Amelia was trying to wrap her head around it before just sighing and opening the letter. Leave it to Lord Potter to marry 'that' Lamia and only let his friends meet her. It did say they might wish to contact the Abbots and Longbottoms to make scheduled arrangements. "Sue, How exactly do you know this...Snap as you called it?"

When Susan finished the story of the 'Great Mail Debate' her aunt was holding her face laughing. The wish to have a pensive for that. she told the niece that if Lord Potter was offering other arrangements it would be for rooms in his wife's home. She also told the girl to be as respectful as she is with the goblins. Susan asked how Amelia knew the girl was not human.

"Susan, did I not tell you that the goblins and I were working very closely on a very big event. Harry getting the help he deserved all those months ago was that event, as well as the return of a very important person in the Magical Nations. Just be the friend you have been and listen to their advice."

They did floo the Abbots first and when they arrived the two Occamy played in the air to the amusement of the group. Neville advised his Gran's request and the adults agreed. Madam Bones said she is under oath not to speak of the wife but will say she trusts the woman enough. Bones also said she would go the first day as she needed to speak with Lord Potter.

With it all settled the teens wrote their replies and sent them with the Occamy. That led to tea at the Longbottom's estate and Amelia asked for a private word with Augusta. When they were alone the Director looked serious as she sat down. "Dowager Longbottom. I know you're still holding the smallest sliver of hope for your son and daughter-in-law's recovery. So let me ask if you're willing to go to certain lengths to see if there is a cure for their condition. Nothing illegal or Dark, but just not something one would look at as possible, in our current state of mind?"

The older woman scowled but listened then took a sip of tea. "You are on very thin ice with your words. What is it you are proposing that has not already been done? What is it you know that the doctors of St. Mungo's do not?"

Bones thought her reply over then nodded. "Magical Britain does not see the value of foriegn and even non-human medical arts and magics. I know the reputation of Parselmouths in Britain but in every other part of the world they are held in great esteem as truly gifted healers. I have learned that the original Parsel magic spells were all for healing and aiding the 'nest' if you will. I do have someone I can ask to look into any spells that will help. No promises but I need your permission to discuss the health records of those two."

"Director Bones, are you saying that there is a parselmouth in Britain who might be able to find a cure for many ailments our own witches and wizards cannot heal?"

"In truth, yes, yes I am. I have seen what the world is like beyond our borders and we are truly too far stagnant and counterproductive. There are injuries that can be cured in ways that our healers are not allowed to look into. There are healers worldwide that can save more people in the time we can save one. Their training is far superior to ours. The issue is that these healers are seen as less than trash in Magical Britain. They are non-human."

Augusta sipped her tea again and looked the other woman in the eye. "A vow from you and the ones who will help. A vow of secrecy as well as not using this as an advantage against our House. You get me that vow in writing and I will get the forms."

Bones was grinning as she stood, "I can get it as an Oath if you bring the medical documents when you go to see Lord Potter. Remember the Daily Prophet last year." The woman left as the older one thought the words over and grinned. She had been blind to the facts but was not being played and an Oath was even better...then her mind remembered that Alice Longbottom is Harry's Godmother. No blackmail would happen there.

88888888888888888888888888

After the arrangements had been made Harry and Asha had warned the Lamias that he would not be at the bathing pit those days, He did ask that his guests be treated with the same respect they treat the Nation. This was a good way to say it as his words were law but he gave them room to deny the humans who acted poorly.

Neville was used to sharing a room with his Gran at times so they took one room the first night. The Bonses took one and the Abbots took the last. The next morning Harry and Dobby were at it again with the Grangers greeting everyone. The children were laughing at the antics of the two but knew it was all in fun. Dobby would toss an egg or two at Harry who would snatch it out of the air and start on omelets, Harry would frisby bread slices at Dobby who would magic them into a toaster. The adults even enjoyed the show.

As they sat down Harry looked at Augusta and smiled. "Dowager Longbottom, I know we have business but I want all facts on the table first so I will wait to speak of that business till you are properly informed. Is this acceptable?"

"Lord Potter, how is it you act and speak so maturely at times yet are so young?" The woman was looking at him with great curiosity. She also noticed the open spot to his right with an empty plate.

"The truth, and I ask not for an Oath or vow but as a Potter and once allied family to all of you… I am more than just Lord Harry James Potter. I am ...King Harry Basilisk of the Serpentine Nation. My wife who will be here shortly is Queen Asha of the House of Basilisk. No she will not kill you with her gaze, there is actually a membrane like extra eyelid to protect others from that. I ask you to right now remember all I have said about how biased the books and information you have on other species really is."

He turned to the kitchen as a small hatch opened up. They all watched as a beautiful young woman in regal cloth wraps rose out of the doorway. Then the gasps as the lower half was revealed and continued till the girl started to coil herself beside Harry. She hugged him and kissed his lips but did not meet anyone's eyes.

Amelia decided to be the better human, "Hello again Asha, I love the outfit. May I introduce my niece Susan Bones. Susan, please meet Prin.. sorry, Queen Asha Basilisk, Harry's wife." Susan was still looking the woman over but her eyes were everywhere. She snapped out of the shock and blushed, "Sorry but it is a shock, Hello Queen Asha. Harry showed us a picture of you but it did not really do justice, you're gorgeous."

Bones looked at the others who were also coming around. She did the rest of the introductions till she came to the adults. Gran held up her hand. "I have to ask this very bluntly so forgive if it comes over as rudely, But is it true that your people can heal many ailments and even some mental disabilities?" Asha looked her in the eyes and sighed.

"I was more afraid you would yell at me for falling in love and marrying Harry. I would have to have our healers look over what exactly the issue is but we do have a vast assortment of healing spells and they can be altered and adapted for many ailments. I will not make a promise till I am sure it can be kept but I will research everything we have if you allow us to." The girl looked less timid and soon the Abbot realized she too was young. They offered her a soft greeting as Harry fixed her plate. "I ask all of you to please call me Asha unless I am in official function. And thank you Susan Bones for the compliment, we Lamia can be a bit vain about our appearances. While we eat I will explain to you some of our customs as I did for the Grangers and Lord Black. Also if you are all willing to keep an open mind as you have right now, we do have language bracelets for each of you to wear while visiting our markets and Bathing pools. Harry said it is like a spa."

Lord Abbot was looking the girl over as she spoke, seeing her relax more and lean closer to Harry. He knew that sign as she was drawing courage from him. His wife did that at times when meeting other Lords as well. "Asha, I have to ask if you and Lord Potter could promise us as to the safety of the children during all this. I know it is not polite at this point but…"

Harry stood up and smiled. "As King of the Serpentine Nation I can promise that no harm will ever come to a child in our lands. Hatchlings and children are more important to the nation than even myself, of this I swear." His magic flared around him with the image of a rising basilisk. Lord Abbot gulped and thanked him. Hanna however kicked his shin under the table.

When they finished the breakfast they headed to the door hatch that Asha came from. Neville froze as he spotted the sleeping phoenix and the sorting hat near the window. He wondered how they did not see them earlier but realised they were distracted with Dobby and Harry. "Umm. Harry, when did you get a phoenix and is that..?"

Harry and the others looked at the sight. "Oh, yeah that's Fawkes and Terrence. They kinda moved in after the old goat Headmaster went on a spell fit because I had all the stolen Potter books and items returned to me. It is also how I found out that I really am the Lord of Slytherin, well after the whole 'right of the victorious' thing."

They let that sink in as they headed down the path to a special entrance for human guests. Agusta was looking a bit worn out when Harry hissed something at her feet and soon she was smiling. "What was that and how did you do it?" Harry explained it was a Parselmagic healing spell for worn joints and sore muscles. He figured she would benefit from it as the walk was rather long.

When they arrived in the Caverns the adults had to hand over their wands. It was to show faith in the Serpentin as well as keep from any accidents. They did so as Dobby collected the box the wands were put in. "Thank you, I am Grish, leader of security and defenses. I hear the King say one of you is the same?" Amelia stepped up and gave her greeting. This had the Naga smile. "I like her courage, she is a good leader if she sees no threat in fellow warriors."

The group were led to the Market and soon they had relaxed around the Naga and Lamia as it was just like most markets they had been to. Augusta sat at a fountain bench near the Gardens. Neville was like a little kid looking over the various plants and even asked about certain ones. She missed the happy child he used to be but he had to grow up when Frank and Alice were attacked. She barely noticed how even Hanna was enjoying this side of Neville.

Harry sat beside her. "Looks like it's working. I did a few things to get them to spend more time together, I saw it between them and I'm glad it's working out. Now I need two things from you. One, the files for his parents and two, He needs his own wand. Listen to the facts, He has lots of power in him but that wand is not matched to him. The owner of that wand is not dead so it refuses to bond with Neville even if it was a match. Now as you can see he has confidence but he cannot keep it up when he can't even prove his ability, plants he can prove so it's easier for him but spells are not with that wand."

The older woman reached into her pocket and handed Harry a shrunken packet. "I see Lord Potter, I agree to do so after the holidays but before he returns to the school. Now please do look into all you can, I want to have hope but even with your proof of spells, I am old and cannot deal with anymore regrets."

Harry smiled and laughed before pointing out a woman with very faded and greyed scales. "That one is 342, her birthday was last week. She says she is still young until the day death comes to take her. That is how I see those of any species. It is not how long you have lived but how you have lived that makes a difference."

The talk was cut as Hanna and Neville returned, "Gran, Harry, I think I found something that you might like to know. Those grey flowers over there are almost legendary as potion ingredients. The woman over there said it was just a small sample of the ones they grow on a regular basis. I would love to see the fields but she said that is not allowed till I get a mastery in Herbology." The passion in his eyes was undeniable. Augusta Longbottom had to finally admit that Neville would never be Frank. Her head spun as she felt something deep in her mind trying to influence her. She did not hear the hissing or the words of worry from the children.

When the spinning stopped she looked around to see she was in a bed. "Gran! Don't get up yet, you need to rest. The Lamias said you had a mind magic on you that you were fighting. I think we need to talk about it." She nodded and stayed laying down. Her mind felt lighter now and she realised that for years she had tried to force her grandson into the role of her son. She needed answers but those could wait.

888888888888888888888888888888

In the next room over, Harry and Asha were discussing the medical reports with the healers. it was clear the medi-witches had no idea what to do and were just sedating the patients to let them live like that for so long. The scans show their minds receded inside to block the pain from the torture curse, but no one tried to use a mind healer or and magic like that to look into thier minds.

Harry was given a book on Parseltongue mind magics and told to study it carefully. He might be able to get them well by the Yule. They returned to the others to let them know she was ok. Sirius and Hermione had a look that Harry nodded to. They knew what had happened and it was going to be a big slap in the face for certain people in the next Wizengamot session.

The Abbots looked over the various trinkets and crafts as they shopped. One little stand had their interest. It was for charmed jewelry and it had a very small Draken boy working it. "Hello young man, What exactly do you have here?" Mr Abbot put on a smile but his wife's eyes carefully scanning the rings and earrings was all the boy focused on.

"Tajak, my name. This Draken Enchantments, You see a piece you like then tell us what chram you want, we make it special if you can wait. You with King Basilisk, you not flinch at us and you talk nicely. So let's do business. What are you looking for in magical enhancement or protection?"

Mr. Abbot blinked in shock at the way the child talked but remembered appearances are deceiving. " I want a charm to keep people out of my mind and to hurt them if they try. I also want to protect my family when I am not there to do so." The boy nodded as he wrote down the requests. He pointed to a ring on the left with a rune for protection.

"That one makes an instant shield when magic is aimed at the holder. It can block up to mid level dark curses. Fatal or can be fatal curses not blocked, it does cut the pain from torture curse by half. That's still a lot of pain though. Mind magic needs an earring or two. just pick what you like and we can get it done today." He bought a pair his wife chose and a pair for his daughter. The boy showed him an ear clip that sat on the ear without piercing it, it would also hold a second protection for any loud noises.

When they returned to the group and told of the little stand the others went as well. The boy looked at Starma and got nervous as she looked over the items. "He sold you the best ones, but at standard cost. Your request must have moved him. I approve but remember not to let anyone know about the charms. These are foriegn magics that the old corrupt laws, that have yet to be removed, do not allow. Those laws were to help the Deatheaters get away with so much as they did not obey their own laws."

Harry felt better about everyone having protection from the Headmaster and he even picked a pair that matched what Madam Longbottom was wearing. Amelia and Susan asked about any to detect poisons and harmful spells on food and letters. The boy looked at her hand then Susan's. "Ok, it needs a bigger ring or a double ring. I have a double ring. They set together to work and have the protection charm as well. wave hand over food or item. It heats up, you step away from bad magics and poison. Oh you are a Law Keeper, yes?" when Amelia answered the boy looked at Starma for approval.

When she nodded he gave Madam Bones a Bangle with a few runes and links for trinket charms. "This one better for you. you can add other needed charms with the trinkets. It won't make any noise so add as many as you need. The bangle is detection and shield, plus it can sweep and cancel spying spells. This charm will record all it detects and cancels. This charm ties you to another person to know they are ok. I can add to the young ladies' earrings the connection charms to look better. Here is a list of other charms you can add. Ambassador Starma can translate."

After the group left to look at other shops the boy noticed a small bag of gold on his table and a note in Drakish. "You did very good today and this is from the King for making his friends see why the other Nations are better than wizards. Starma."

888888888888888888888888888888

Back at the healing cave, Augusta was being released with a potion that made her feel a lot better and did not taste like sewage. When asked how they did that, she was shown the plant Neville was praising. That was the last time she would ever ignore the boys gift with Herbology. She joined the others and accepted the earrings with a smile. Lunch was an interesting affair in the royal dining chambers as Ragnok arrived to tell of some great news.

"King Basilisk, Am I in time for the meal?" The grin was actually less intimidating then it would be at the bank. "Before we dine let me thank you again for your deeds. As of this morning I have been in discussions with the Vampires and they in turn with the First House. The agreement was made to bring you before them to see if it is your words and wishes versus us just using your name. I have set the time and date for you and hope you will not do us wrong." The goblin looked as calm as ever but he knew Harry was thinking it over while looking at the agreed time and date.

The boy nodded as Asha looked it over. "King Ragnok, I accept this agreement on the behalf of all involved. Now were you able to locate the old laws that pushed them to the other side?" The goblin nodded and looked at the feast appearing on the table.

Asha giggled as everyone was waiting for the conversation to continue. "When food is served, Business is placed on hold. Please eat up." She held Harry in a hug as everyone was served and soon the group agreed that Dobby was a skilled chef. The poor House elf was beside himself with all the praise.

When finished with the meal, the two spoke again this time about the plans for the week right after yule. Harry was going to do his ICW NEWTS and not attend Hogwarts any more. They also had to stay calm when Ragnok explained that Harry was actually going to meet Vlad Tepes III. The great Head of House Dracula.

The group was led back to the Cottage to rest before portkeying back to their homes. Harry told the Longbottoms to be prepared in two days for his arrival and to heal Frank and Alice.

88888888888888888888888888888888

The day Agusta and Neville had waited for was upon them and they watched as Harry arrived in regal and imposing Wizard robes. He looked every part as the great Lord of many houses. "Shall we go free my Godmother and your son, Dowager Longbottom?" She had a lone tear fall as she nodded.

St. Mungo's was quiet for the time of morning they arrived and with the timely arrival of Lord Black also looking well dressed, the staff had to take notice. Harry watched the staff as they headed to the room for the Longbottoms. He saw at least three Medi-witches looking fearful as they entered the room. Little did the staff know but he signaled the hidden aurors to follow those three.

In the room Lord black looked over the chart then handed it to Lord Potter. After looking it over as well he growled. "Bring me the Head Healer and Director of this establishment, NOW!" The nearest nurse ran out to get them as the others were ordered to stand by the wall. Augusta looked over the chart as well and looked livid. Harry turned to Neville, "The documents we looked over less than a week ago do not match these, someone has changed the information to hide the true issue, again."

When the Head healer who was also the Director arrived he saw the medi-witches looking pale against the wall and the small form of Lord Potter facing them. "I Am Healer Roberds, What is the problem, I don't think you should be in here, it is for family only…" He stopped as Augusta stepped out from behind the privacy curtain.

Harry looked right at the man with a cold stare that unnerved the poor soul. "I am Godson to Alice Longbottom. I am a family friend and ally to Lord Frank Longbottom, I am also versed enough in medical readings to know when a wrong is being committed. Tell me right now if you took the Oaths of a healer."

The man snarled and tried to puff up to the boy, "OF COURSE I DID, All of our staff did…"

"Then be glad that you're still alive and have your magic. The Longbottom's are under a mind curse not the effects of the cruciatus. I also have the medical records from a week ago that are not matching what is on their beds right now. That is neglect and harmful to the patient. DO I need to be clear exactly why your oaths should strip you of your magic? Do I need to have each and every one of your staff arrested or investigated for this crime? I see that these patients were recovering before the visit of one Albus Dumbledor then they became like this. (waving his arm to the pair in the beds) Tell me why a non-family member was allowed to see them without approval of the Guardian Dowager Longbottom?"

"I don't know what you mean. I was told he was on the approval list…" Harry handed the man the papers from the bed and turned it to the list. No where was the name, Albus Dumbledor, nor was he ever listed as visiting. The man's own words had clearly proven Albus had come to visit.

"You do know that both the Black and Potter estates contribute yearly to the Hospital, but right now both myself and Lord Black here are not pleased with you and your staff. I think it should be clear, ANYONE not following procedures, even if it is the Minister themselves giving orders, could be in violation of their oath. I see that as a very dangerous game to play. I have a way to heal them but it will be in secret, You are to remind all your staff that any leaks of any information, be it who is here, who is visiting whom, or who was here for any reason, will be removed as a squib or a prisoner of the law. Take them with you and clear the room. Do not enter until we say."

The Director ordered the girls to a meeting room and left quickly. An announcement for all non essential staff to head to the meeting room was heard in the whole building. It was later reported that Albus Dumbledor had entered the building and was stopped by three Aurors. He was told that 'unless seeking treatment, he needed to leave.'

Harry had used a Portkey anchor to allow a Naga healer to arrive in the room. After a brief incantation and a powerful sweep of magic the room was cleared of all monitoring and spying spells, Then came the Counter spell and the Nage left after being thanked by the others. Five minutes later the Lord and Lady Longbottom were ready to rip an old man's beard from his face.

When the Director was allowed in with only two other healers he looked in shock at the recovered Longbottoms. "But...How.. We could not bring them…" He was silenced by a fist to his face by Alice.

She looked at the staff in hatred. "You will not aim any wands at any of my family ever again. I was trapped in my body and all you did was treat us like Dementor kissed vegetables, I felt humiliated and loathed by your words and actions. I will be pressing charges."

Auror Proudfoot was standing in the doorway smirking. "Yup that's Alice, Right hook from Hades and the temper to match. Welcome back Lady and Lord Longbottom, For the record it was told to all of us the same story told to your family. Now I must report that one of those medi-witches did inform the old goat of your arrival and he was turned away a few minutes ago. He was also told that due to his actions a medi-witch is now a muggle. He was not pleased to know we tied it to him."

88888888888888888888888888888888888888

By the end of the day, four witches and the Director were arrested and the whole hospital was being reviewed by ICW healers to ensure no other patients were being 'mis-diagnosed' and mistreated. The newly made Muggle gave a full statement that she was a member of The Order of the Phoenix under the directions from Albus Dumbledor. When told that that was considered a vigilante organisation at best and a counter government group in description, she gave other member names. She was kept on hand at a ministry safe house as she was turning over secrets of this 'Order'. Several members of the Ministry were arrested for actions involving this group and they all turned on Albus quickly when given the chance. He had allowed a Healer to lose her magic just to keep the Longbottoms in the coma like state.

Neville was happy he had his parents back that he never noticed Harry and Sirius leave. He sent a letter telling Harry it was the best Yule gift he could ever get, Harry replied by telling him to introduce Hanna as his girlfriend and see their reaction.

8888888888888888888888888888

Minerva Mcgonagall was not pleased when she was asked to come to the DMLE, at threat of wand point. She was even less pleased to hear all the evidence against the Headmaster. The only piece of good news was the return of the Longbottoms, that was sullied by the fact it was a curse from Albus that made them that way. She wanted to refute it but they were lucid enough to give a pensive. The headmaster was away on business as he called it but now she was sure he was hiding from the Aurors. She also noted that he rarely had meetings in his office anymore. It was later explained that Fawkes was indeed living with Harry Potter as a guest along with the sorting hat.

Her next great sadness came as a letter from the ICW just before the train was to bring back the students. It was Harry's NEWT scores, all O's and even some classes not taught in Britain. He did not need Hogwarts anymore, and even worse his scores would not reflect for Britain. The Board of Governors would be meeting soon once this got to them.

She walked to the Gargoyle, hoping she could guess the password, when it stepped aside to let her pass. Once inside she nearly had a heart attack. The room looked like it was the middle of a battle field and yet she could see the point of origin was the Headmaster's chair. He had done this.

The paintings looked at her with smiles as they waited. Soon one of them had to say something. "Yes Minnie, He did all this in his rage. That boy had undone years of his plans and even took away his stolen toys. Now listen as the castle has now removed him as Headmaster, You are in charge till otherwise stated so first thing you need to do is get the ledger from his desk and see what the real budget is. He was siphoning lots of gold from the school and we need to get it back."

The day was spent reviewing the books and deals the man had done to get the school into the sorry state it is in. She decided to call a meeting of the staff and inform them of the latest developments. Snape looked at the room and chuckled. "So the old fart finally lost his calm attitude, good. I think I shall thank Lord Potter for this happy moment. Don't get me wrong, I still loathe the boy's father but That is where my grudge shall end. Dumbledore forced me to be a git to the boy and to punish the Griffs till the feud between houses was unquestionable."

The rest of the staff was soon filled in and taken to Poppy for a purging potion. She herself was not in as she was taken to St. Mungo's, Her oaths were about to strip her magic from her after she took the potion herself. The new Healer from the ICW, Healer Clarkson, was there and agreed to oversee the patients.

The next day was already starting off bad as Director Bones had arrived with three Aurors to re-ward the Slytherin common room. The Aurors would also split the DADA classes by years to determine if any students showed signs of future deatheater training. Remus liked the idea as those three knew about his condition. They would cover his off days.

The worst part for Minerva was that Harry had sent a letter telling her he was going to visit weekly to look over the school as the Lord Slytherin, He would work with her but she had to prove she would not follow Dumbledor's steps.
