Warning: Punishment and Dumbles bashing

Chapter 7. The Wrath of the Weasley's

The twins followed their younger siblings and the bushy haired girl down to the living room after assuring Harry of their continued support of him. They were both deeply upset about what they were going to do to the boy and there was no humor or amusement in their eyes as they went into the room where the rest of the houses inhabitants were talking quietly. Their parents and Bill and Charlie along with Snape, Remus and, the newly returned, Sirius along with Moody and Poppy were all there discussing things, most likely the war and Harry.

They were surprised when the five teenagers walked into the room especially at the sight of the twins faces who none had ever seen so serious. Which meant that something had to be very wrong to keep their usual grins and mischief filled eyes off their faces. The three younger teens looked sullen and angry as they stopped in front of their parents and the other adults. Mr. Weasley was the first to notice that Fred had his wand out and pointed at the three of them and his frown deepened as he looked between his twin sons and his other children and their friend knowing he wouldn't like what he was about to hear.

"What did they do?" Arthur asked quietly surprising the others especially his wife who only then noticed the teenagers wand pointed at the younger ones. "Did they do something to Harry?"

Unlike his wife and older sons Arthur had noticed the tension between Harry and his friends when they had picked them up at the train station at the end of the semester. He had also noticed the lack of letters the three of them had sent the other boy and the little concern they seemed to have over his disappearance and capture. As well as the conversation they had with Draco the first day they came here after Harry had been rescued. Though he hadn't been able to hear what they were saying he had seen the rage on the blonde boys face and the looks of disbelief and disgust on the twins and knew there was something going on with the three of them that they were soon to be made aware of.

"These three were about to obliviate Harry and then send him to some unknown location with a portkey," George explained as his twin seemed to angry to speak. They had both seen Harry as an adopted little brother and their real siblings betrayal of him enraged them both though not as much as the man who had gotten them to do it. "and they were doing it on Dumbledore's orders."

"What!" Sirius snapped bolting upright in his seat as he glared at the three younger teenagers who's faces had paled at the sight of the anger on the adults faces. "How dare you threaten my godson and just where were you going to take him?"

"W. . .we don't know Professor Dumbledore didn't tell us," Hermione told them backing away slightly in fear from the enraged animagus who very nearly growled at them. "But he said it would be somewhere Harry would be safe."

"More like somewhere he could keep in eye on him and train him in the way he wants him to be," Severus said glancing at the two other men who were frowning thinking of what they had already been told of the man's plans for the boy. "I told you he would try to get him back, he doesn't want Harry out of his control, which is why it is very important that we keep him from getting what he wants."

"You were right Sev but I never expected him to act so quickly," Remus agreed placing his hand on Sirius's shoulder to calm him. The man relaxed slightly but was still obviously upset by what he had been told. "He isn't safe here I don't think he ever really was."

Sirius nodded in agreement and Arthur had to find that he agreed as well. He was appalled and enraged when he had discovered Dumbledore's reasons for leaving Harry in an abusive home and his lack of concern for the boy. To know that he had only been using Harry and was willing to sacrifice him for the sake of their world had crushed whatever trust he'd had in his old professor. It pained him even more that he had been using his own children and their friend to further his plans and that they had willingly gone along with it.

"I don't understand why would you do that?" Mrs. Weasley asked staring at her children and the other girl in confusion. "You heard what Dumbledore did to that poor boy so why would you choose to help him hurt your friend more?"

"Because Dumbledore has been paying them since before first year to be Harry's friends," Fred spat in disgust reluctantly putting his wand away as their parents stared at the three younger teens in shock and disbelief. "Seems our siblings and Hermione didn't think there was anything wrong with pretending to be an innocent boys friends who knew nothing about our world or even what it meant to have a friend."

"How did we not know about this?" Molly gasped shocked and ashamed by what the three of them had done and their ignorance of what was happening with their own family. "Where is this money he gave you and why haven't we seen it?"

"Dumbledore put it into accounts for us at Gringotts to use after we graduated from school," Ginny explained looking slightly ashamed of what they had done or at least of the fact that they had gotten caught and were now in trouble. "He wanted us to keep Harry in line, make sure he went into the right house at school, and he promised that Harry would marry me after we graduated. But he didn't want you to know because he was sure you wouldn't agree with his methods. We did nothing to hurt him we helped him, kept him safe, and we shouldn't be punished for that."

"How can you think what you did was right? We raised you better than that," Mrs. Weasley told them appalled by what she had been told and their lack of remorse, especially Ron's. "To think you tricked that poor boy and manipulated him on Dumbledore's behalf and all for the sake of money. Where did we go wrong with you two."

"We did nothing wrong mum, we gave the prat what he wanted. It's not like anyone else would have been his friend if we hadn't been paid to be," Ron replied with a sneer oblivious to the murderous looks on the animagus and wolf's faces. "The pathetic little git just sat there on the train not talking to anyone. He probably never would have either and would have gone into Slytherin or Hufflepuff if it wasn't for us. He owed us the money we got from the professor for endangering are lives all the time for him and protecting him from Malfoy and his snakes."

"I have never been more disappointed in you two, and you as well Hermione, as I am now. You have disgraced our family and hurt an innocent boy who was only looking for someone to care about him," Arthur snapped standing up to glare down at the three of them with an uncharacteristic anger blazing in his eyes. "And you will be properly punished for your actions. First you two will hand over the money you received from Dumbledore and will give it to Harry to do with as he wants in repayment for what you did to him. Hermione as I am not your parent I can't make you return the money but rest assured that I will be sending a letter to your parents and I am sure they will be just as displeased as Molly and I are."

"You can't do that dad we earned that money," Ron yelled interrupting him in his anger. Ginny looked just as upset but Hermione was looking somewhat frightened at having her parents find out about what they had done. "It belongs to us."

"You did not earn that money and nor do you deserve it so you won't have it. Learn to make money the honest way if you want it so bad," Their father told them. Ron looked ready to protest further but the red headed man continued on before he could. "Further more all three of you are grounded until further notice and will not be allowed to go to Diagon Alley or anywhere else. You will also spend the rest of the time here helping to clean up Sirius's home and all three of you will hand over your wands to me now. You will get them back when the school year starts again if we feel you have earned the right to have them again."

"Dad please you can't take our wands isn't grounding us and taking away the money enough of a punishment?" Ginny begged her hand going into her pocket where her wand was to clutch it tightly in her hand not wanting to give it up. "It's not like we hurt him or anyone else."

"No you only threatened to obliviate him with them now hand them over," Mr. Weasley replied. When the three of them still refused to hand over their wands or even show them he took out his own wand having run out of patience and pointed it at them. "Accio Ron, Ginny and Hermione's wands."

Instantly the three wands flew out of their hiding places, and right through Ginny's fingers, and into Arthur's free hand. He then put away his wand and handed the three other wands to his wife who pocketed them somewhere they couldn't see.

"Now the three of you are to go to your rooms and since we can't trust you the twins will be going with you to keep in eye on you at all times and you are not to go anywhere near Harry either with them or by yourselves until we can be sure you won't do anything to him," Arthur told them looking apologetically at his twins sons who to his surprise, though perhaps he shouldn't have been knowing them as he did, were now sharing grins of mischief as they looked at the three younger teenagers. "Sorry boys but you're the only ones we can spare to watch them. Try not to hurt them to badly with your pranks all right."

"Sure thing dad will make sure they don't do anything stupid," Fred replied looking positively delighted at the prospect of trying out some of their new pranks on the three of them who blanched at the look on his face, they all knew better than to miss with the twins especially when they were pissed. "What are you going to do about Dumbledork?'

"Leave Dumbledore to us. He won't get away with trying to kidnap Harry and use him as he has," Severus assured them his eyes narrowed and dark as he seemed to be staring at something they couldn't see. "How is Harry now? Is he all right."

"I think so we left him with Draco," George told them a little bit of worry returning to his face as he thought of the other boy and how they had left him. "He was pretty upset and shook up by what they were going to do but he seemed to be all right with Draco when we left."

"That's good, we should go up and see him though just to make sure," Remus told the two other men who both nodded in agreement. Both he and Sirius were surprised by Severus concern for the boy but they were pleased by it to and the chance to see a different side to the snaky bastard they had gone to school with.

The two boys nodded and they and the three other teens left the room. The three men followed soon after leaving Mr. and Mrs. Weasley with their two eldest sons and Poppy and Moody in the room. Molly looked pale and shaken, lost in her thoughts, and the old nurse was trying to comfort her with soft words and a hand on her shoulder. Moody however looked deeply upset and there was a look of hurt and betrayal on his scared face and his fake eye darted around the room.

"I have trusted Dumbledore for most of my life and followed him only to find out now that he was never worth the trust or respect I gave him," The auror said softly. It was strange to see him looking so uncertain and hurt. He was a man who didn't usually show his emotions so easily. "When we can no longer trust our own leaders who can we trust? Who is are enemy now Voldemort or Dumbledore or both and who do we follow?"

"We trust ourselves if no one else and they are both our enemy now," Bill told the man a look of deep thought on his face as he leaned forward his chin resting on his hands with his elbows on his knees. "Voldemort has always been one to fear and we must still defeat him but in all honesty Dumbledore worries me far more than him. We know what Voldemort wants and what he plans to do with Harry we have seen it but we know nothing of what Dumbledore wants. Will he leave Harry alone after he defeats the dark lord or is there more that he wants from the boy?"

"I don't know, no one has ever questioned Albus, no one has ever believed that he was anything but good, a beacon of the light, and that was what has allowed him to get away with so much. What allowed him to give Harry to an abusive family without anyone protesting it fully believing that he knew what was right," Arthur replied sitting back in his chair disturbed by the questions his son had erected in his mind with his concerns. "I don't know what he wants from Harry but it is obvious that it is not what is best for him and he is not safe with him. He isn't safe here either it is far to easy to get to him here I think it would be best if he was taken somewhere else where Dumbledore can't get to him."

"We would agree which is why we have decided to take him somewhere else as soon as he is healthy enough and strong enough to be moved," Severus's voice agreed as the three men returned to the room looking somewhat relieved from their visit with Harry. "He is sleeping now with Draco and seems to be all right for now."

"That's good. I'm glad my youngest children and Hermione weren't able to harm him," the eldest Weasley said in relief as he gave a small sigh. He was getting far to old for these things and wished he could return to his quiet life with his muggle gadgets. "Where will you be taking him?"

"I am afraid that is something we can't tell you," Remus replied gently. Despite this the six people gathered there looked surprised and suspicious as the three men resumed their seats. "It is not that we don't trust you," he explained carefully. "It's just that the more people who know the more likely it is that Dumbledore will find out somehow so it is best that only we know where Harry will be. But the three of us will be with him and I promise that he will be safe and protected from both him and Voldemort."

"Well that is all right as long as he will be safe and we of course understand your reasons for not telling us especially after certain recent events," Molly said after a few minutes of silence passed. She smiled and got to her feet as if everything was now right again in her world though it was anything but. "Now I think its time that I started lunch I am sure everyone must be hungry so it will be ready soon."

She left the room and Bill and Charlie went after her to help with the meal. Moody excused himself soon after remembering a meeting he had soon at the ministry. He still looked deeply troubled as he left and the others felt sorry for the man knowing how close a friendship he had with Albus. This had shocked him to the core and destroyed a great deal of what he had believed for years. It would take some time for him to recover from that and for now none of them were sure where he stood in all this.

"Poppy when do you think Harry will be healthy enough for travel?" Severus asked the older nurse who sat silently for a moment in deep thought.

"I can not be sure but perhaps tonight or tomorrow depending on how well he is healing. I will check him later after he wakes up and know better when he can leave," She replied after a few minutes passed. Severus nodded having already known that the boy wouldn't be up to traveling yet, he still had a long way in his recovery to go. "I think though that as soon as I feel it is safe for him to that you should take him to this safe place, I will feel better when he is somewhere the headmaster can't reach him. I do not doubt that this wasn't his only plan to get him and that he will try again as long as he is here."

Severus nodded in agreement and they fell into silence each lost in their own thoughts about the boy who slept upstairs. It wasn't long before their thoughts were broken by the call of Mrs. Weasley for lunch. It was a quiet meal that day, the three youngest members in the house ate in sullen silence while the twins watched them whispering eagerly to each other. The others were to deep in their own thoughts for any real conversation though there were some attempts at it that ended in failure.

Once the meal was finished Poppy and Severus, Remus and Sirius brought two meals upstairs for Harry and Draco. Draco was already awake when they came into the room but Harry was still asleep and the blonde boy gave the other a gentle shake to wake him. Harry mumbled softly and blinked his eyes awake to find that he and Draco were no longer alone. Blushing as he realized that the other boy was still holding him he sat up moving away from him slightly.

The others smiled and handed the two boys the meals they had brought which they willingly ate. Afterwards Poppy examined Harry and Severus took Draco aside to tell him about what had been done to his former friends. Though he looked pleased by their punishment he could tell that the boy still thought more should have been done to him and he couldn't deny that he agreed. However they were not his children and as they weren't in school he had no authority to punish them here.

"You are doing quite well Mr. Potter. Keep healing like this and you will be back to full health in a matter of days," Madam Pomfrey said ending their conversation as she smiled gently at the boy who gave a faint smile in return. "I stand by what I said earlier Severus give him tonight to rest and tomorrow you can take him to that safe place of yours. He should be fine to travel but will still need a few days of bed rest and if you have need of me again you know how to contact me."

Severus nodded and after giving Harry a pat on the shoulder the older woman left the room presumably to return to Hogwarts since she was no longer needed there. The three men wanted to talk to Harry about what had happened with his former friends but the boy shrank away from them when they brought it up and started to tremble slightly. After several attempts that ended in refusals by Harry they decided to let it go for now and talk to him about it later when he was feeling safer and more secure.

Harry looked incredibly grateful when they let it go and sunk back into his bed yawning tiredly. Deciding it would be best for him to get some more sleep before they left the next day the three men left the room after assuring him that they were there for him when he needed them. Draco remained behind as Harry was reluctant to let him go and held him as he fell asleep again. No longer tired himself he conjured a book and started reading while he allowed Harry to sleep undisturbed next to him glad that he was able to give him some comfort.

A/N: again I am so sorry for how long it took me to update this story and I will try to update sooner the next time. I also want to apologize for how short this chapter is but I am sort of stuck with where I want to go with Dumbledore so I need all of your help. I want each of you to tell me what you think he is up to to help me figure it out myself so here are your options.

1. He is an old man that likes young boys and wants to use Harry after the war is over for his own pleasures.

2. He wants to use Harry to defeat Voldemort and then get rid of him so that he will be seen as the hero of the wizarding world instead of him.

3. He wants nothing to do with Harry except for him to defeat Voldemort and will then leave him alone.

4. Anything else you think up just let me know and I will take it into consideration.

Please review and let me know or I may not be able to continue this story as I want to thank you.
