Dolores Jane Umbridge was one angry pureblood witch. She had been steaming since the Potter boy hadn't raised to her bait. She wanted to give him detentions so she could break him, but she couldn't do that without the boy doing something that could warrant it. She had been waiting to use her blood quill on him since Cornelius told her she will come to Hogwarts to teach the children Defense Against the Dark Arts and supervise the inner workings of the school, Dumbledore and most of all stop Potter from spreading his lies and catch him red handed with something. She knew the Minister was counting on her for they couldn't sack the boy or the old man throughout the summer break so they had to get them while they're at school. The plan was to get Dumbledore sacked and the boy under their control or to make him do something to have leverage and be able to expel him.
The toad faced witch had been a happy camper up 'till the point where the boy refused to defy her so she couldn't give him detention. So now she had to come up with something. Marching up to her personal chambers she was thinking about plans to complete her mission.
On the other side of the castle Ron and Ginny Weasley were concocting a plan with the help of their Headmaster. They had been in a tight spot as of late, but had a brilliant idea to get Harry back under their control.
"We will give him a strong love potion so he will fall in love with Miss Weasley and be malleable again just like he should." said the ancient wizard with twinkling blue eyes. "I will contact you as soon as I have made the first batch." and with this words the meeting was done and the youngsters left the Headmaster's office to get back to their Common Room. What none of them noticed was that there was a portrait that left the same time the teenagers did. This portrait was called Nigelius Black. The former Headmaster went into his other portrait which was located in the Ancestral Home of the Blacks to notify his descendant about the treacherous plan against the Black Heir.
Harry Potter was oblivious to the plans against him as he was spending his time in the library with Hermione and Neville. The former was working on the first essays they got while the two boys were talking about politics and laws. They were going over books writing down all the laws they could use to get the green eyed boy free from his relatives and mud throwing that was going around him. The aforementioned boy had a parchment and inkwell full of ink in front of while the other had the books in front of in a big pile with one being in his hand others set aside as they had figured out they had nothing in them that could help them in their quest. Their system was simple Neville read through the book and every time he found something that could help he puts the book in front of the Potter Heir and pulls the other open book in front of him to continue looking. They had been at it ever since their last class of the day ended. The Longbottom Heir had been quit adamant about making sure his friend will get out the mess he was thrown into. As they worked diligently they didn't notice the red haired twins approaching their table.
The fifth year boys jumped a little as they had hands land on their shoulders suddenly while two voices said the same question at the same time. "What are you guys doing?" Turning back the boys were faced with the Weasley twins who wore identical smirks on their faces. Not knowing what they wanted, but not fearing of being on the receiving end of one of their pranks Harry answered them truthfully. "We're looking up laws to get me out of the mess Dumbledore, Rita and the Ministry put me."
The seventh year Gryffindors gazed at each other for one long moment then turned back to the boys and sat down.
"What can we do to help you?" came the question from one of the twins who Harry identified as Fred. He had been able to tell them apart since he got to know them more in his first year.
"You could help us get in contact with your brothers." answered Neville without his usual shyness.
"What do you need us to ask or ask for from them?"
"We need someone, who could petition for Harry's guardianship so we can begin to work to remove the Durseleys and whoever had been his magical guardian."
"Got it!" nodded Fred.
"We write the letters right away." promised George.
The twins stood up from the table and left the library without any further ado. As soon as the red haired hurricanes left the bushy haired witch looked up. "Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks they will prank Ron and Ginny mercilessly this year!"
"You're not alone." said the messy haired wizard reassuringly.
The three fifth years went back to work not knowing the danger brewing around them in the school or the plans set in motion inside the school and outside somewhere deep in a Manor and in the Ministry against the Potter Heir.
At a table deep inside the library a group of Slytherins were discussing the new ring of people who surrounded the Boy-Who-Lived. There were old and new faces, but the most prominent was the fact the boy seemed to be making political moves. Moves that made them feel dread and smile happily at the same time. The most influential family heirs are working together and while not under their Lords command they weren't following Dumbledore either. It was good and bad at the same time. The good news was that they weren't in a league with the old fool and bad that they were only working for themselves right now and the side that gets them to work with them will get the winning political power needed to make any changes in the Wizarding world. They had written to their parents about the two Heirs newfound companionship that looked deep enough to be a strong friendship. The only order they got back from home was to not to cross them the wrong way and to make sure to get on their good side as much as they could. Right now they were thinking about how to do that for the two didn't seem to be looking for acquaintances.
