Return Of The Marauders
Warnings: This is going to be a what if the Dursleys got all the information and accepted things with Harry living with them as though under surveilance. They accept the order and Harry's friends as part of their lives. And as they connect to them, so this is a change to what the storyline was in the books.
As the Dursleys change and accept Harry and his order now, as his two separate lives come together as one finally.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers
Chapter 25: Further Changes And The Truth Comes Out II
"I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that, as the headmaster, I act en loco parentis', please headmaster, the one in charge here is Professor McGonagall. Don't you have better things to do then having him tailed, when he comes to talk to his future boss?" Percy asked sternly and Arthur swallowed hard at that. "Harry never snuck out, Auror Black told him to come to the ministry, telling him we found another, waiting to be destroyed." he said and Dumbledore paled.
"Helga's favorite cup, Rowena's diadem, the locket, my scar, and the diary, we get them all, you get the bloody ring and I kill the snake, all 7 destroyed. Before Bellatrix and the others escape, before he comes out into the open, nothing simpler now." I said and they started shaking, realizing Percy now made his choice this soon, I was that choice. "But really Father, what business of it is your's exactly, Harry's a student at the academy now, he's not a Hogwarts now."
"Father, I mean it right now, what are you just confronting Harry about, when he drops by the office to talk shop with me, since we're preparing to open up the Academy. So Cedric is the Hogwarts champion, Harry the academy champion, why. Why, run it by the headmaster, why, when Professor McGonagall is, was, my head of house, I, at times, went to her for permission?" he said and he paled, realizing his reaction was going to crucify him if he never changed here.
"Just why would he come to you, you were never that close to him, before?" Dumbledore said shaking, realizing his terms of control were about to get them both in trouble. "It's because he deserves a break from being seen as the chosen one, and with that right now. Why is it any business of your's or my father's why he's even at the ministry?" he asked and Dumbledore went white, realizing his behavior looked beyond manipulative in the eyes of the ministry then.
"But don't you, the headmaster, have better things to do then spying on a preteen to teenager, is he, said teenager, not allowed to go visit his adoptive parent, though in school. But en loco parentis only covers so much, you are over stepping your bounds now. I would hate to think you are aiding and abetting a known criminal, by being his watch dog. When at the ministry, and just because Harry is talking to Minister, father." Percy said and he paled further at the accusation.
"Point taken son, but Arthur, are you going against me, simply because Harry wanted a chance to talk to me and Amelia, as I see no reason Harry shouldn't be allowed to talk to me. Or that it's any business of the headmaster's, you spying on Harry for Albus, like Peter was, for Riddle. You sold Harry out to Dumbledore, in the second Harry comes to see me to talk shop." Fudge said and he swallowed hard at that, realizing that was enough to make him lose his job shaking.
"Lose your job and put you in Azkaban to be specific, are you and Molly spies for Albus, trying to prevent Harry from thinking for himself here?" he asked and he started shaking in fear at that remark. "Arthur I am making this quite plain, what Harry does when coming to talk to us, is no business of your's, your's and Albus's. But he's allowed to leave campus if he wants to, and did you forget here, year four, 4th school addition, not a Hogwarts." he said and Arthur paled then.
"Oops." Fred said sternly as George and Fred wrapped their arms across my shoulders and we stood with Percy. "Year 4, we're not Hogwarts, but rather Potter Academy students of the Auror academy." he said and Arthur realized he was screwed. "Dad, you understand what this means, when we switched sides, we decided screw the headmaster. We think for ourselves, how do we know he's back, Harry's delirious, bit by an acro, cruciod twice." he said and he swallowed hard.
"All we have is Dumbledore's words, based on the delirious rantings of Harry, and Harry did ask the medical department to erase the memory, so how do we know he is back?" George asked and he went white, realizing he never thought of that part, as Dumbledore went ghostly pale. "The answer is we won't, not until Riddle tries to raid the department of mysteries, to get the prophecy." Kingsley said in response and Dumbledore swallowed hard at that reveal then.
"With Harry just dropping into the academy repeatedly, to talk shop with the second in command of the academy, said being me, with Kingsley being the headmaster. I'm vice headmistress now, so that's allowed we're stuck in between tasks. Dumbledore is not his Headmaster, he can't hold him against his will, even try to now. It's cause for disqualification, as Hogwarts is removed from the tournament for attempted cheating." Amelia said and he paled.
"Oops, yeah good point, Harry's the son of an auror and late son of another, so just dropping in to see both the minister and the parent, and touch bases with the head members. Of the department's police force is not frowned upon, when he's the favorite cub of the academy. To us in MLE he can do no wrong, and it's the same for the misuse of magics, so what's the deal. Is he not allowed to come talk shop with his future department?" Dora said and he went white then.
"Dead man walking, and you make a very valid point, kids, why should the headmaster know why Harry, or you, left campus, it's none of his business. If Harry wants to see Sirius, or just come to lodge a complaint with me, on his obsession with him. But I call that a meddling control freak, he wants Harry to stay at the castle, control everything about him. But Harry is the cub of the MLE, favorite cub, perfect cub, can do no wrong." Amelia said and Arthur quickly nodded.
"Arthur, you're being beyond naive, it's not frowned upon, in my world, that's the muggle world now, to call the parent at work, or said cub to come see said parent directly at work. Because the people connected to said parent, love the said cub like their own, he's one of them now. So cub of the crew, cub of the council, cub of the MLE, he can drop in to see us if he wants. This also gets the prophecy out of the department of mysteries, and we can delay another year."
"So why are you, you see him as beyond naive, no you're the one that's acting naive, Albus is just the headmaster, he is not Harry's legal guardian, or magical guardian. You remember the basis of being head of house, what if Harry told Minerva he was leaving campus. And then throws this in your face, she said yes and decided not to tell him." Ted said and he swallowed. "Point made, I see no reason to spy on Harry, so why are you, Harry's going to Sirius here."
"That, talking shop with Amelia, Rufus and Cornelius now and make another donation to the school board and the hospital right now. So why is it any business of Albus's or your's, in why he is even at the Ministry right now. Because this blindly following Albus is going to get you crucified, if Albus stage a coup to take back control of Harry. As Percy can intercept him now, after Ronald turned on him right now." Minerva said and Arthur swallowed hard at that remark.
"Why is Albus trying to stop him from leaving?" Amelia said sternly and I shrugged. "Why does the headmaster ever do anything, but make my life complicated to suit his own needs. He gave that proviso, as he knew Vernon would never grant it, and instead, Dan and Emma. They gave my way out, by getting that permission slip signed, so I can leave for the holidays." I said and she nodded. "Point made baby, and that's enough of this." she said and Fudge nodded sternly.
"You were unaware, and you can't allow him to leave, why should it matter to you, when you gave permission to let him be in the tournament. You just officially turned him into an adult, you have no right to tell him what to do." Crouch said sternly and he paled. "He can leave if he wants, he doesn't have to listen to you, you can't hold him on any grounds. Giving up his magic, by doing that, it triggers a clean sweep, killing all of them." he said and Dumbledore went white.
"But you don't want that, do you, he has to face him, all he has to do is refuse, and it destroys the magic of not only who put his name in. It causes the protean effect, and starts draining the magic out of every Death Eater still running loose. And leaving Riddle the monster he is now, as he kills his physical body, destroys the anchors and that's it, problem solved. No war and once again, we are triumphant." he said, explaining the side effects of the goblet and I smiled then.
"So there are two areas we can take this in getting rid of him for good right now, 1) is Harry refuses to participate and it destroys his magic. Along with whoever put his name in the goblet, and starts a chain reaction of killing every Death Eater in the country. As Igor gets the message, as he and Severus are safe, or 2) our original plan as we hunt down. And destroy every anchor, leaving the headmaster to handle the ring, as Harry kills Riddle himself by the sword now."
"I see where you're going with this Barty, that's brilliant, I'll bet he never has to deal with a mountain troll getting in, a basilisk, a few hundred dementors and suffered multiple close calls. If he does, as this school has been nothing but a constant source of pain and aggravation, all because you're trying to control him, but I guess to get away from you. It's traveling to another planet to do so." she said, before they felt an earthquake and I nodded as Penny hid a chuckle.
"You had to say that, that's the European stargate." Ted said and they nodded in shock. "That's this." I said, created an image of metal ring that filled up the window and the ministry nodded. "You're currently dealing with 100 years worth of behind the times here, the muggle world, had 70% of the population living on other planets, so everyone dead became a clone. Of the original, but politics, civil services, actors and military personnel on earth." I said and they all nodded.
"So we never realized our counterparts are all clones, Donald was a clone, and just in case someone attempted to assassinate him. Brilliant idea Donald, you just gave me a beyond brilliant idea to finish our storyline here. But to protect the original, nice safety measure, we can just do that, everyone that died, between books 4 and 5 is a clone." Fudge said smiling and I nodded. "Yeah exactly, but Barty and Peter don't realize this." I said and Crouch nodded then.
"But if Harry catches Barty a month sooner, after he's preparing to kill me, this is going to get you crucified right now. I would call your attempt at interference. When he's coming to talk shop with Amelia, Cornelius and Sirius as aiding and abetting. Because by just reporting to the headmaster, he left without reporting it, is a delay that can cost lives. You basically said screw the rules, my loyalty is to Dumbledore only." Crouch said sternly and he went white as a ghost.
"Yeah I call this harassment right now, do we have to call harassment charges in year 4, as Harry, undercover in the dorms, suddenly has to use the floo powder. And sneak out that way, as we do a cross and double cross, till the bomb gets dropped. Not only was the tournament a trap for Junior, but one to prove Dumbledore lost his bloody mind. And Harry wants freedom, if he starts upping the office meetings for said retraction and Harry threw him to the werewolves."
"Said being us, but Barty's in hiding, I'm the next best thing, Harry latches onto me and now we got a more fixed opinion, he hates the fact Harry jumped his move. And went for the pro active approach after he threw him under the knight bus, Harry switches that. Becomes the cub of the Auror academy, to us he can do no wrong now, as Harry's now lodging repeated complaints with the EWA." Scrimgeour said and Fudge nodded and Dumbledore went white in fear at that news.
"Uh Madam Bones, Mr. Crouch, check the look on the headmaster's face, he's scared out of his mind, by Harry turning to you now, before the year even starts." Fred said and Crouch crossed his arms, nodding. "I think I know why, this prevents said delay, we destroy the old prophecy, and create a fake to put in place, but this means he lost control of the situation. By you finding the map and turning it in, it undos everything he wanted here." he said and they nodded then.
"Look at the fear on his face, you're just deciding to destroy them all now, before the tournament, and this undermines all his careful planning." Alicia said sternly and the ministry turned to see the white eyed fear on Dumbledore's face and they nodded. "He was praying to delay this till we have Bellatrix, and the others back on the loose. And by then we lost one too many innocent lives, with the war feeling like it did 10 years ago." Crouch said and I nodded.
"I know what the problem is, he's got a life long aversion to people learning the truth, but in his eyes, the less everyone else knows and the better. So my associating with the ministry, this is bad right now, because he lost total control of me now in truth. And second I'm not falling for his remark of this is for the greater good, I don't need to know everything. I lost my childhood, my innocence, after this book." I said, passing him book 2 and he nodded as I went further.
"He sees that you fail to understand any of his decisions, because you have no concept to the greater good, Sir." I said and they crossed their arms. "We're your government, we're entitled to protect you as much as we are to protect the everyone in the country. We fight the dark arts, and anyone that uses them, but now our supposed most famous good wizard of all. He's suffering delusions of grandeur, enough to make him dangerous." she said sternly to that news.
"That so right now, well we could see he's been fighting evil so long his concept of the greater good, is severely flawed here. And with that, so we're limited to the smaller picture, it's our job to protect the country from dangerous wizards like the Death Eaters. Or just gone so good wizards like him, we see him as daft and dangerous right now." Fudge said sternly to that. "But that's no excuse for why you're trying to have us run everything, regarding Harry, by you."
"Why should we, Headmaster?" Crouch said, emphasizing the title and he swallowed hard, realizing they all had enough of his decisions right then finally. And they were doing things the way they thought they should be done. "Why should we, you lied, you been lying to us for 11 years, Albus, maybe it's time for us, your students, to start thinking for ourselves. Leave the Dumbledore thinks, Dumbledore thinks train of thought." Minerva said and he swallowed hard.
"Or is it, because you're the supreme mugwump, you think you can be the judge and jury here where he's concerned, because if you really think that. Then your ego is so inflated, maybe it's time we removed all titles and leave Minerva in charge here. At the school, She's Harry's head of house, head of house, she's the en loco parentis, not you?" Aggie said and he went pale at that remark, realizing they just nailed him to the wall and Amelia crossed her arms then sternly.
"Albus, you're hereby removed from your position as head of the wizengamot, as of now!" Fudge snapped sternly and he went white. "Your only position is Headmaster, but Harry is Minerva's responsibility during the school year, why just him, why not the rest of our children?" Sarah Abbott said sternly and he went ghostly white at that remark. "You're giving him special treatment, because you think you're his M.G.?" she asked sternly and Amelia nodded to that.
"There's the reason alright, his parents were part of the order, he's the head mugwump, he's thinking he's Harry's magical guardian, that he can get away with this." Sirius said and they nodded as they watched him. "Dad, Uncle Sirius, Professor, this is what we call schizophrenia in the muggle world, it's a mental disease, there's two that could be seen here as a dangerous. One is Paranoid schizophrenia, you're seeing conspiracies all over the place, till you become."
" Now, a threat, to yourself and everyone around you, and the second is delusions of grandeur, you're suffering megalomania, he's suffering both at once right now. Your remark in the newspaper, Dumbledore: is he daft or is he dangerous, answer now. It's both at once, the power of that wand went right to his head now, he's thinking because he defeated Grindelwald. That he carries the elder wand, and his many positions, he can do anything he wants here right now."
"And without consequence, but so long as he's running things here in the school, years 2 through 7, I can't be in school, so long as he's in control and not brought back under." I said and they all nodded. "Fair enough son, looking at this from another point of view now, it's now pretty manipulative in why you're trying to keep him at Petunia's. Why does it matter where Harry lives, those same shields could be put up at our houses, in us blood traitors right now."
"Danny is Lilly's best friend, he could grow up with a twin sister, and had an adopted father rather then an uncle." Crouch said and nodded. "Now I may have broken Junior out of jail, but I had to arrest him to control him, I got him subdued, Amy. But he tries anything he blew his parole, and it's the worse then death here if he attacks a child." he said and she nodded. "Done Barty, as for this, I agree with you, he could have grown up normal, and loved, with us traitors."
"Or just the Grangers, he's happy, loved and safe, growing up as normal as possible, not till he's 14, if his name ends up in that goblet, does the weight of his title start." Aggie said and he swallowed hard at that remark. "Harry's legal guardian is Sirius, second just happens to be the Black/Tonks clan, as such, they're his legal guardians. So why, why is it any business of your's what and where Harry goes during the summer." Scrimgeour said sternly and he paled further.
"I can't trust him anymore, you're my boss, I'm putting my trust in our government, before this starts, as I got the truth, before the year even starts, I get my godfather and uncle back. I get my connection with Sarah and the others back, I'm, if he's been drugging me here. And with compulsion potions, completely free of his influence right now, but that was his weapon. But if time was rewound, I was now an 18 year old trapped in my near 11 year old body right now."
"Just say I do what all of you wanted to in order to get rid of Umbridge permanently, she challenges me to a wizard's duel, he decides to teach me some humility. And the ending results are he gets her the worse then death penalty, because of the defense shields. Now never considered someone bouncing off them and right into the hands of the security shield. That is restraining the dementor, not my fault, his actions cost her, her life." I said and they nodded.
"Honestly, she's as mad as the death eaters, so no, we wouldn't mind you being the one to get rid of her, she's dangerous." Crouch said sternly and I nodded. "So though 11, or going on, you see me as one of you now, a Auror." I said and they and Dora nodded smiling. "We do son, to us, you're a cub auror destined for greatness, in all honesty, we only accept the best. And of your class now, you're the best at defense, so you earned this." Scrimgeour said and I nodded.
"Just say I can turn the Longbottoms back to normal, that in order to get me to talk to him, he stages an attack at my friends house. You going to take that as a reason to see he's lost his mind entirely?" I asked and he crossed his arms and Dumbledore paled. "Indeed I do, whatever his obsession is with you is highly disturbing in my eyes, if I become minister. With Cornelius retired, I take over and you bonded tightly to me, everything that used to be Albus is us now."
"To me, if I have to have Amelia arrest him, lock him up and I will, so you can live normally, as you completed the prophecy, that's over, as we move on. Although I continue arresting every death eater still running loose, I'm an auror, until I can determine there is no threat. I will assume there is one from anyone still using bribes or whatever after you kill Riddle. Though get rid of Riddle and it appears the headmaster takes his place." he said and I nodded sternly then.
"Too late, I did already, you guys are dad's best friends at work, but Dora's a just reactivated young auror, I'm her replacement under training, and after 4 years. I'm now the perfect cub in crime fighting, I can do no wrong in your eyes, the young face of the auror academy. My horizons branched to destroy every anchor, I destroyed one dark lord and now. The headmaster, he loses his mind, claiming I went dark without his guidance and with those words in mind."
"He seems to think I'll go dark without his guidance, just because I don't care that a woman like Umbridge gets the worse then death penalty by accident." I said and Crouch nodded. "Just say though the quartet come get me over the summer, and after learning he threw me here. And to the werewolves, said being you, I decide to retract my earlier comments, what happens?" I asked and Fudge crossed his arms sternly and Crouch nodded in agreement then sternly.
"You become a ministry lackey and he realizes he lost total control over you, as we destroy them one by one, and he's dead, before they break Bella and the others out of Azkaban." he said and I nodded and the faculty looked down at that, realizing the backfire of his decision. "Bella, Bella, Bella, that girl is as mad as a hatter." Ted said and Andy nodded. "Yes 90% of my family were, only Sirius, our grandfather and I were the good ones, and that's not if I can get to Cissy now."
"I can and Kreacher and Dobby can work as one now, as our side of the family runs the Black household, as Bella never had children. So the family fortune is between Dora and the boys, as for this right now, in blindly following." she said and Remus and Dora nodded. "You realize the backfire in that decision headmaster, you throw him under the bus now. And in response, he leaves you looking like a dangerous liar, and us with you?" Remus said sternly then to that news.
"And here's another possibility, but for the first years, there's potions in everything we eat and drink, so we blindly follow him, follow what he tells us to do. Which I get why Professor Moody never eats or drinks anything offered to him, well I'm going to start doing that myself. I can't trust the house elves in this school, as for all I know he's ordering compulsion. And tracking potions to be place in everything I eat here, but really, Minerva, Filius, Pomona, really now."
"But look at this from my point of view, the school was the one place I thought I felt safe here, only now it's dangerous, it's as dangerous as being out there. And with the not arrested Death Eaters running loose, because he's as fanatical as Riddle is, you've become. In truth now, a cult yourselves, and my friends, the Weasleys have turned on me for him. She's holding Hedwig, my owl, hostage on his orders, even Sirius!" I said and the order crossed their arms sternly then.
"I see this as you turned on me for him, I can't trust you anymore right now, because you listen to him, everything you do on his word. All your actions are because of him, I'm free of tap dancing to his tune, and you see this as I'm needing repeated detentions. Till I get the school board involved, and with them calling out a restraining on the order now. Before you all cross the line, attack me, brainwash me, they deprogram me…." I said and they nodded to that news.
"Do you realize how threatening this looks to him, Cedric is dead, I'm murdered by my own son, and now he knows Albus turned into Riddle of the lightside. The Order has become dangerous by you doing whatever he says right now, you attack him to put compulsion hexes on him. Amelia and Sarah break the compulsion charms and then he kidnaps him to do it again now…" Crouch said sternly and she nodded. "We lost his trust, because of Albus." Rolanda said sternly to that.
"Would you blame me, I can't trust any of you now, thanks to you listening to him too much, but why should I reveal anything to you, why they offered me a job. Where I spent the entire summer and most of all, you crossing the line and knocking me unconscious. Just so you can program me, they do deprogramming and now I'm afraid of all of you now?" I asked and she and Moody crossed their arms sternly. "Point made, cub." Moody said with a stern growl at that.
"You forgot my face, after leaving our world, to you I was another friend of the family now, that I know you on sight in the second I see you at this age. You trust me easily now, to you, back to being Grandpa, so why should I jeopardize that right now for him. Like you would say, why wait till he returns, it's wasting time, precious time that we do not have. We destroy them one by one, years prior to the tournament, I teach you to defend yourself, we stand a better chance."
"Giving me a chance to spend 4 years getting to know you, by meeting you this young, I watched you grow up, and to me, the fact as being part of his order. That costs me my favorite student, because I listened to him, it's the same for the others, everything we do. In your eyes goes back to him, you cut contact with us, stopped seeing Ronald and Hermione. All because of Albus, yes everything wrong here, in your eyes, goes back to him." he said sternly to that news.
"Agreed, we stand a better chance in stopping him, by finding them and destroying them all, one by one, as we get 3 at once, after you're borderline 13. We get 3 more, and then you kill the snake and him and be done with it, the war ends as quickly as it started. But doing it his way, what's the price to pay, said price to pay is losing you, our favorite student. Because we listen to him too much, not going to happen." Rolanda said sternly and they all nodded then.
"Indeed, after everything that we've been through together, it hurts you can't trust us anymore, because of Albus." Filius said sadly to that and Pomona ran her hand through my hair. "We practically raised you ourselves, and the headmaster destroys our relationship now. Because so long as we listen to him, you can't trust us, Hagrid, Sybil, Rolanda and Poppy anymore now." she said and that did it as Minerva looked at him sternly as she said it then to him in anger then.
"Not losing you Harry, I will fight to make sure you and Ginny get what you always wanted." Percy said and I nodded as I gave him a hug then. "Thank you brother, but it's not just Peter, idea, take Ron and Hermione to the ministry. Erase the exchange after I reveal his name on the map, reveal yourself in year 2 after we get the diary. You're working for the ministry, you're playing matchmaker for Ginny and me." I said and he smiled as Scrimgeour did a silent one.
For the headmaster, and his eyes went blank for a second, before clearing then. 'Yeah the headmaster has no idea how screwed he is right now, he's done. But Minerva's in charge now, starting now, I can lose a year, that's fine, but year 6 and 7. That helps for me right now, I'm revealing myself after I get the badge right now. Ron is in so much trouble here later on now in truth.' I saw Percy thinking, hiding a stern smile then.
"You cut contact with my family, because of him, there is no forgiveness here for that right now Albus, I knew Harry all his life, and because of you. Because I put my faith in you too much, this costs my family a friendship that has been there, and for 7 years. No, not going to happen, to hold onto that friendship, we're siding with him and the ministry right now. I see Percy had the right idea, why does everything keep coming back to you?" Arthur said sternly and he paled.
"You want me to trust you, then actually show why I should, in that one I barely know you right now, and with it here right now, is said coercion?" I said and they nodded, and I saw the anger in her eyes growing with every word. "Minerva, when I gave you that map and showed you what I found, that was to prove it, now you have to do the same. It's the same for the rest of you, to finish the transition, you have to earn my trust." I said and they all nodded gently to me then.
"It's the same for the duo, so long as they listen to him, there will always be a rift." I said and she nodded as she crossed her arms. "Point made, your eyes are open finally to what he is, and thanks to your severing ties with them. Your grades are surpassing her's, you decide to pass the captain position to Katie, and you're being everything you want to be seen as. If your parents were alive, making friends outside of your circle now, and with that in mind right now here."
"You are so screwed right now Albus, by just abandoning him like that in truth here now, he decides to save his reputation, by leaving you looking like a dangerous attention seeker." Minerva said then sternly and he swallowed hard at that news. "I must admit that's a fitting backfire, to save yourself, you abandon him and he wakes up to what you really are. And then decides to become a ministry lackey now." Scrimgeour said sternly and he swallowed hard then.
"But said position is the same as assigning Deloris here, but no, we're not going to do that, he's an auror cadet in training, with being a, in his wording, sophomore now. He's only got 3 years left, he chose his career by being around us right now, and stopped listening to you. But now it's in reverse right now, we say he's 3/4's ready for early graduation, you claim here. He still has more to learn, but if he stayed with you, you say he's ready, we claim his record is a reason."
"So same difference here Albus, all we see is, you're trying to control everything about him, there's no use trying to use us as way to control him. In our eyes, every time you never get whet you want, that's a plus in our eyes, you see this as we're. In truth, acting like children, simply because we're not toeing the line and doing what you want. Well we're through listening to you, we're not children, we're adult wizards and witches." Amelia said and he swallowed hard.
"So because, son, you think like we do, over this right now, the fact they're dangerous people, the fact you refuse, now, to divulge your new secrets to your positions. You start acting like a cub auror, he's convinced you're turning to the darkside, just because you're refusing. Now, to listen to him, you think, in truth, that your trio are thinking this, as you wised up to what he is?" Fudge said and I nodded. "I do, but I'm laying the boom." I said sternly and he nodded angrily.
"But you guys taught me things, things I can do, that she can't, but the patronus charm, I was the first to be taught the disarming charm. Stunning, the acromantula repeller, I can throw off the first 2 of the trio, while no one dares hit me with the third. As they don't realize that try that they kill the piece inside of me stone dead, is that going dark or is that jealousy talking. And because I refuse to listen to a word the headmaster says." I said and they all nodded gently.
"Point made, and then there is the cleaning charm and that can be made to erase a mess or dangerous animal, say said cobra?" Severus said and Minerva nodded. "Spending less time messing around, and more time working on charms and defense class. As well as transfiguration reversals, you're as good as your parents at this age right now. But these classes are the core of being an auror right now, so for her, I call that jealousy." Remus said sternly then and I nodded.
"I guess she never was your friend if she's jealous right now, why did I give you the book, you and not her, well the answer is I want you to be as good as your mother. But if she's jealous right now, you can be popular, even without the titles, get on our good side. Then this is clear they're following Dumbledore too much he's trying to keep you as ignorant as possible. He's dangerous and therefore made the duo dangerous in response." Severus said, crossing his arms.
"PASS students fall in now!" I shouted out and they all moved behind me and Crouch nodded as the order split itself down the middle and moved behind me as well, along with the ministry. Before Arthur and Percy moved behind me and Dumbledore paled at that, realizing I was out of his control, as Severus, Minerva and Hagrid moved behind me as well. Before Poppy, Rolanda, Filius and Pomona did as well as Remus squeezed my shoulder, in a fatherly way at that gently.
Before they were followed by Bathseba, Charity, Madam Pince, Cunningham, Addams, and Kettleburn and he swallowed hard. "You get the point, looks like you need to get yourself a new staff, starting now Albus, because we're not losing his trust. And not because you're this narrow minded, we all just woke up to the manipulative old fool you really are right now. My connection to him, Lilly, she would have wanted it this way." Severus said sternly and he swallowed hard.
"But that's enough of this, but why is it any business of your's where Harry spends the summer, you're only the headmaster?" Crouch said and he swallowed at that. "I see no reason why we need to run every decision by you where it pertains Harry right now. And with that, you're not his legal guardian, you're not magical guardian, just his headmaster. So what business of it is yours where it pertains Harry, when not in school?" Amelia said sternly and he swallowed hard.
"Indeed, why should we do everything according to your approval, we're adults, seems to me all the praise and your many positions have gone right to your head." Fudge said and he swallowed hard. "Toppy!" I called out and he appeared. "Toppy, go by Gringotts, and take out 2.5 hundred thousand galleons, that's my donation to the hospital." I said and he nodded and disappeared then. "Indeed, Lucius only does 10,000." Fudge said, impressed by the number and I nodded.
"The others all never did more then 5, so this amount now in truth says it all, you're about to return with a vengeance and ready to revolutionize the teaching here. At the school, as we make changes right now, but all decisions are never ran passed Albus starting now." Scrimgeour said and I nodded and Dumbledore swallowed hard. "Agreed, and the board and I agree with that right now, since he had an escaped Death Eater under his nose." Aggie said and he paled then.
"Charlie, your grandfather, was, in your words, the labs for medical potions, that was where your family gained such a high revenue. In total of 950,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 galleons, this much is barely making a dent in that amount, but your parents will. They left you everything, including your father's cloak, looks like the map was a family heirloom. Along with the cloak and you get both back at once today." Remus said and I nodded as I answered that.
"Issues in this, of all the teachers that nearly heard the explosion the night I found Peter, it had to be you, as you know my tendency for insomnia, Severus." I said and he nodded. "That's the third time in 3 years you nearly walk right into me, because you can't sleep. I knew about the cloak, that though I know Jim is gone, you're an 11 year old replica of him. And both of us on duty, I knew if Argus found the lantern, you're at it again." he said and Remus hid a smile then.
"Like you would have said to me, out for a little stroll at night, anything on your mind, can't sleep and decided for a heart to heart talk." he said and Severus nodded in agreement. "Yeah that and of all the professors that catch him at night, it's us right now in truth right now. But issues in the empathy, I feel panic, before realizing he nearly blasted the mirror. As Peter goes running passed him, only to realize I chased him into that hall now." he said and Remus nodded.
"In this case, we were tracing him through the halls, Harry had the second copy we created for him now, as we buried the hatchet here finally. So with that, with you replacing Peter, and while he's tracing him from the dorms, Harry was using the map. Just to get to my office, as we're leading him into that corridor and a shootout nearly ensues between us. As we have said exchange, and I'm looking down at the direction he went, and knowing he just scared himself."
"Talk about a panic attack, I hear that I knew you panicked over something, as Severus catches you, before I arrive to head off the firefight." he said and we nodded gently. "Yeah in this case that would be, I saw Peter on the loose in the castle, knew you were right around the corner. And just as he runs past me, I nearly destroy the mirror as you call out to me, to head it off." I said and they, Sirius and Cunningham all nod in agreement as Moody shook his head gently.
"Or I grab your wrist before pulling you into a hug, you're shaken up enough already, but 13 years old and feeling like this is a case of the boogieman in the basement." Kingsley said gently and I nod, in knowing I trusted 3/4's of Sirius's department. "Lovely that's all we need, our cub recruit, he just reverted back 6 years in being a cub, so panicked. That we now have to head this off, as this is not a medical arrest, but a walking nightmare." Amelia said with a sigh then.
"In which case, if it was Sirius, why is he spending 12 years living like a real rat, what happens if, instead of Gryffindor, Ron got put in Slytherin?" I asked and Peter went white in fear. "Uh huh, yes there it is right now, he's beyond panicked, knowing he phases now to escape the cage, and he's being arrested by me next, once I hear the alarm go off." Severus said and he swallowed. "And again why would an innocent man spend 12 years as a rat." Sirius said sternly to this then.
"Indeed, and I agree with them Peter, if it was Sirius, why would he want to spend the rest of his life as a dog, knowing phasing back means, not only are we getting justice. You're being thrown to the dementors of Azkaban for this right now?" Minerva asked and he swallowed hard at her. "And like I would have said to him, finally the flesh reflects the madness within." Remus said and Sirius looked at him, as my in-laws were shaking in laughter at that remark then gently.
"Well you would know all about the madness within, wouldn't you Remus." he said bemused and my school house started laughing. "Alright boys not now, you want to go at it, take it outside." She said and they nodded. "Are you guys always like this with each other?" Katie asked as she tried to control her voice. "Yes, I hear this day in and day out between them when they and James were your age, but even after 15 years, nothing changes." she said and we nodded.
"Point taken that even when I need to be teacher for your brother, Harry and Hermione, nothing ever changes between us, once we're in the same room together. In which case if we never found him sooner, I don't doubt that conversation is going to be heated." Severus said gently and I nodded to that gently. "Then do that one then." I said and they nodded as we did the shack. "Expelliarmus! Ah, vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you."
"I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend enter the castle and now here's the proof." he said and Sirius, I knew, couldn't resist another sniping contest. "Brilliant, Severus - once again you've put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and as usual. Comes to the wrong conclusion, now if you'll excuse us, Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to." he said and Severus raised his wand. "Give me a reason. I beg you." he said and Remus said it.
"Severus, don't be a fool..." he said and I stepped in carefully at that. "Uh Professor, with the level of times he's caught me and them out of bounds, now's not exactly a good time. To get snarky, as of you two, he deals with us day in and day out in truth, before you arrived. But the obstacle course and the snake and diary, to him and McGonagall every time. I mean everytime, something happens it keeps landing us in the middle of it." I said and Severus nodded bemused.
"Indeed, and young man, care to tell me what you guys are doing out here, alright what you do now if I found you in here, but three years of this and now I find you in the tree. What you 3 do this time exactly?" he asked and I explained that as the Sirius and Remus exchanged looks at my casual tone with him. "Bad as all that?" Remus said and he shook his head. "Worse, that's why I was irritated at finding him wondering the halls that night." he said and Remus nodded.
"And to answer that in truth was I saw our possible dead perp's name on that map, and then saw you right around the corner as I tried to head off his escape route. While nearly destroying the mirror as I thought he was in human form right now, before I heard skittering. Around that hall, him run passed me and I almost destroy the mirror." I said and they nodded sternly. "Talk about a waking nightmare, so yeah, sleepwalking." Remus said and Severus nodded gently then.
"Tonight, Hagrid passed us Scabbers back, seems he was hiding at his hut, realizing his timer's running out, if we already freed Buckbeak. And the executioner took his temper out on the pumpkin harvest, Scabbers bit Ron and tried to run and he froze up at the tree. Before Hermione and I remembered which tree that was, I told him to get away from it. And Black appeared as a more wilder version of his alias, if he and that dog I saw are one and the same."
"And bypassing the branches we came in here, before you guys followed us in." I said and Severus nodded. "Who may I ask if you had to get Ronald?" he asked and I said it. "I saw Peter Pettigrew's name on that map." I said and he froze up in shock at that. "That's not possible, Pettigrew is dead, Lupin, is this map jinxed to tell the truth, you created that map. When we were no older then the kids were?" he asked and Remus nodded gently as he answered him.
"Yeah Severus it is, Harry told me this the night we found him wondering the hall, after double checking the map. I saw he was right, he's alive, but if anyone gave him the map, it's Ron's older brothers. I think he forgot to show us that map last winter, if he showed it to Minerva, Filius and Cornelius. The truth is out, Peter's arrested and Harry safe from another collapse, as this gets them off campus before the semester." he said gently and Severus nodded sternly.
"Harry said Percy gave the rat to Ron, so if he was a real rat, he'd be dead after 7 years." he said and Severus nodded sternly in agreement to the news then. "Then you know him in the second you see him right after he cut his finger off, but as I said vengeance." he said and they both nodded as Remus said for me. "Well that's one way to take the tension down, but everyone calm down, don't do anything foolish right now." he said and I nodded in agreement then firmly.
"He can't help it. It's habit by now." he said Remus said it sternly. " Sirius, be quiet!" he said and he snapped back at him. "Be quiet yourself, Remus!" he snapped back at him and I swung my hand at this and looked at Severus and he nodded in agreement. "You want to say it or should I, we got 90 minutes before the moon comes out." I said and he nodded as he said it. " Listen to you two, quarreling like an old married couple." he said with a bemused look at this remark.
"Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set?" Sirius said and I said it. "Alright that's enough, if you wanted to show me something maybe I can get a better idea. In why you're trying to kill each other right now, if Dumbledore said dad saved your life. Maybe you can explain to me why." I said and Severus nodded. "Before I do, I have to get him the next dose, before he phases too close to you." he said and said it sternly to Sirius as Remus sighed in relief.
"After you." he said and then turns to me swings his head at the door. "Wait, wait Professor calm down, before we do anything rash, I want to know more, is this because of mum. You love her, she's your best friend?" I asked and he nodded sadly. "Are your memories back now, I was the man in the bedroom, I tried to protect you three, but I failed." he said and I nodded. "You're the man holding her, it was you?" I said feeling my heart go out to him and he nodded sighing then.
"Then this is between us and them, it's personal, we need the truth now, who was the true traitor, what really happened that night." I said and he nodded. "Agreed, you two calm down, Ronald, stay put and young lady keep the wand up, because I'm getting beyond aggravated. At finding you out of bounds repeatedly." he said and Fred and Katie nodded to the orders. "Tell me about Peter Pettigrew!" I said and Remus said it carefully then as he looked at me then gently.
"He was at school with us! We thought he was our friend!" he said and I said it shaking, remembering what I saw on the map. "If you're an animagus, could he be one, I mean I how could it be unless….., no, no, Wormtail, a rat's tail looks like a worm. No, Pettigrew's dead! Pettigrew is dead, You killed him!" I said, pointing the wand half away from Sirius. 'Easy, easy, don't shoot, we need the truth, calm down.' Severus said gently and I took a deep breath.
And Remus quickly moved in front of him. "No he didn't! I thought so, too until you mentioned seeing Pettigrew on the map!" he said gently to me then, knowing I had no reason not to trust him, and not after a year. "The map was lying, then!" I said, trying to say in deniel, even as his words made an inkling of sense to me then. "That map never lies! Pettigrew's alive! And he's right there!" he said pointing at Peter in his animagus form and Ron looked at him in shock.
"Me? He's mental!" Fred said shaking in shock. "Not you! Your rat!" he said and I cut in. "All of you calm down the Professors are here, don't do anything rash and Ron stay put." I said and Remus nodded in agreement to my opinion. "Scabbers has been in my family for..." he started to say and Sirius nodded. "Twelve years!, curiously long life for a common garden rat, he's missing a toe, isn't he?" he said to him firmly then and Fred paled as he tried to deny it then quickly.
"So what?" he said and I nodded. "The only thing they could find was his…." I started to say and Sirius nodded. "Finger, the bloody coward cut it off, to make everyone think he's dead, then he transformed into a rat." he said and I nodded. "Then show me." I said and the duo both nodded as Severus straightened. "Agreed, we want the truth that it was never you, but Pettigrew that killed her, so show us." he said and we ended the conversation at that remark then as I sighed.
"I'm glad we caught this now, before it went that far, though we had problems before, the trust was in place right now, we knew you longer then I did the duo. As it's been years at the time, but just to stop the fighting…, sorry Severus." I said and he nodded. "It's fine Harry, to get the truth it was making sure, but if you left me awake, I would have vouched for you." he said and I nodded. "Well no need to now, but the world championships." I said and Arthur smiled gently.
"Point taken, you may not have needed to have me pick you up, but you're coming and we can put our tens next to each other." he said and I nodded. "Yeah, but you kids stick together, but we're teaching Mione about the different branches, Harry grew up in this. And Ludo, would you pipe down, I know you love the sport, but the youngest have no idea. And of the type of excitement going on in the office between our departments." he said and Ludo Bagman nodded.
"What was that exchange between dad and Misters Bagman and Crouch?" Fred asked me and I started laughing, and they turned to us. " Alright you wiseacre we're not going over that, but if I said this once, I said this a hundred times on whatever whoever asked about it. It's a fictional item that was based on Arabian magic we don't have that in our country, son. So now that's enough of that already boys, settle down." Arthur said and we, George and Lee nodded smiling.
"Yeah now we started something, but they're clearly my gang, just in the next generation, Arthur, whatever they create is an extension to our code name now. The guys, James and me now, by that I mean Severus and Remus." Sirius said smiling and Arthur nodded with a chuckle. "Well clearly my twin sons are like your son's big brothers now, that the boys can be themselves with each other, but there's a conversation we can go over later." he said and they nodded then.
"Group off, who wants to work where, because said alliance is with the MLE." I said and they nodded to me, as Minerva moved to me, followed by Hagrid, Sirius, Remus and Moody then. And before Severus, Pomona and Filius went next and they were immediately followed by the sextet. In the faculty as they followed them to my side then and Dumbledore swallowed hard at that, and before Kingsley, Sarah Abbott, Amelia, Scrimgeour and Crouch moved to me as well then.
"Well I think that underlines the point right now headmaster, to keep from losing his trust, we all decide to show him he can have a life in our world, and by ignoring what you say and think. We regain his trust by ignoring your opinion now, but just say that Harry can return Frank. Now, to himself and Alice with him, I owe him a life debt that and he is my grandson's best friend. But you hounding us for information in his whereabouts, is not welcome." Aggie said sternly to this.
"Well what worries me, as I took it back, printed a retraction, and now whoever in the order and the headmaster are trying to figure out where I been all summer, what I been doing. And suddenly I'm sporting a position that says ministry lackey and repeated editorials. Now in the paper have him realizing I'm getting sick of repeated meetings, they think you brainwashed me. And try to change me back, as I'm exercising my position the way Perce' was in his 7th year."
"As Severus is deactivated, Binns is retired, Sarah is my personal tutor, you're all seeing him as a cult leader, the order his Cult, I stopped talking to with Mione and Ron, and made new friends. And he's now so furious here, all his carefully laid plans are lying in tatters, the school is under investigation here, Severus was put on suspension. And he was trying to have him make me weaker, as I absolutely refuse to have anything to do with him now, as this has him now."
"In his greater good, him trying to circumvent your decisions, as we like this now, we like it this way, we learn more, we have a double feature every weekend now. We have muggle books, sports, music in the dorms now, with being in middle and high school. And parental approved movies, we get a tutor for certain class study sessions, we have a slightly muggle life back. As being born and raised in 1881, this matches your remark, the old fools, he's of the old ways."
"But your age group and mine, we grew up in 1969 to 1990, meaning now, we grew up with tv, movies, books that match the previous century the classics, music of your generation. When outside of work and school, the cloaks are hung up, as are the pointed hats now. The dragon gloves, everything brought with us, aside from our books, are put up for the summer. As now we look like muggles to hide ourselves, for us muggleborns and half blood raised as muggleborns."
"Well what's wrong with showing we don't have to completely integrate, we're dating our soulmate for years, no betrothal contracts, the board is updating the curriculum. We get more to learn, more to do, then be completely magical, because what is there to do. In our world, aside from quidditch, Hogsmead and Diagon Alley, we have things changing slowly here now. And everyone my age to the twins, Ginny's class love the changes, we're happy here right now."
"We get more to learn here then the Goblin wars, we get to play muggle sports again, listen to muggle music, read muggle books and as result this is all because of one thing, what?" I asked and Aggie crossed her arms. "Leaving you to take the heat for doing magic in self defense, he throws you under the knight bus. And in response you throw him to the wolves, and it starts a chain reaction in changes till it brings me and Christina here." she said and I nodded gently.
"Some flaw in the plan huh, headmaster, by backing out to save your reputation and leaving him to fend for himself, results in his complaining to everyone. Once he points us back at you, and you're furious at that, you start upping the meetings between you. As he shows a confidence you have never seen before, he's gained favor with us. Us at Saint Mungos and the ministry, your reputation has been destroyed, by employing Junior." Sarah said smiling sternly at him.
"And I am just saying this now, that unless it's of the utmost urgency, I will not be accepting anymore summons to your office to talk right now, I have more important things to do." I said and Dumbledore went pale as Dora rubbed my shoulders as Kingsley crossed his arms at that. "Mr. Scrimgeour, you better…." I said and he nodded sternly. "Indeed, I am sending as many aurors here as possible, but this is harassment." he said and Dumbledore went white at that.
"And us with you Rufus, as we decide an investigation is in order, because Barty is dead, and Junior has been kissed, as now to get them to stop harassing you, baby. Said is now a case of call in the MLE and the WEA, as this results now in dismantling his careful planning." Aggie said and he nodded sternly as I went over this, knowing how it sounded to them. "And he hates this, because you took his control away from him right now, he wants it, me, back now, right now."
"But if the duo belong to him, I don't want anything now to with him, while the rest of you shed one skin for another and changed, as he realizes his way of life is slowly deteriorating. He has to save it and with it now, get his plans back under control, but everyone now sees this. They don't want a power struggle between the Order and the ministry and not when he could be back. And till he decides screw this, he's doing this the way he should've done it, and attacks one of you."
"The Order stages a coup and one of my adopted family, in the 3 of you, gets attacked now. And nearly dies out of blood loss, he knocks me unconscious and puts compulsion charms on me. Steals my map and the cloak, and then you have to be the ones to deprogram me, get my stuff back, before in the middle of said trial for every Dumbledore obsessed. In Order members there is, put on trial, before he tries twice to get me back, before I start naming names here now."
"Said names his order cost severely, that are all connected to Peter and once Severus, while the faculty now realize they been lied to. And you feel the energy blast of my hate at him after he tries once again invade my mind. To put the false memories back in and you find me at where he is, but claiming you corrupted me, I'm one of you now. To him, you are evil, he's only doing this for the greater good, holding his secrets close." I said and they crossed their arms sternly.
"Learning the truth, he has hundreds of lives, the blood of millions on his hands, We been lied to all this time, and now I see it clearly, his way matches Slughorn. Only he's trying to get enough dirt on them, to blackmail them, and then if they refuse, he passes it to the MLE. Well you just opening our eyes to how corrupt and evil he really is, he's being stripped of all power. His only position is headmaster and even that is under investigation now." Scrimgeour said and I nodded.
"My how the tables have turned hmm, headmaster, Harry realized what you are, and his mind is so pure now, he sees this for what it is now. He's free, a ministry cub, like his fellow ministry cubs, he's an auror cub in his prime, but has his father. His father and papa wolf back, why should he listen to you, his bond with Rufus keeps him on his path. The path to becoming the strongest light wizard and auror now." Amos said smiling sternly and he swallowed hard at that.
"Well 3 years training, my skills are put to the test in the 8th grade, Cedric is a junior in high school, though Percy's class graduates that year. He starts at the ministry in my 5th year, for Cedric, he graduates in the twins 7th year, and Katie's a sophomore, I'm a freshmen. As by this point, the war is borderline 3/4's over, I destroyed them all and the only one left is the ring. That his, the headmaster's time is over, I'm the head of the army now." I said and Minerva smiled.
"But June 1st to September is 3 months either way, just summer homework, our reading lists, as the letters come along in August now. And we start gearing up for the following year." Penny said and I nodded, smiling. "Agreed, our houses are the best of friends in the three of us, we got a few friends in Slytherins, but as they get used to this. Things switch course, as they, after a year, start enjoying our new way of life, in schooling." I said and all the muggleborns nodded.
"Uh yeah, with us starting school the same day every year as September 1st, school ends June 1st, so 3 months exactly, and you put in a case of summer reading. And homework, so 2.5 months summer, 3 weeks for Christmas and 3 for Spring Break and Easter. So though on break, we got assignments to do, and we get them done, before our letters arrive. For the following semester, which involves whatever add on in the list comes with it." I said and Minerva nodded.
"Like today now, with doing a practice game, before the real one now, you're about to get me my first broom and dad donates said same broom to the team. Not bribery, he knows talent when he sees it, as the team earned those brooms and by being this good." I said and Sirius smiled in agreement. "Before the follow up, after my original was destroyed now, he donates the next one up to the Gryffindor team." I said and she chuckled and nodded gently at the remark.
