Tobias : You're still not in a good mood are you?

Wulfric : Nope.

Tobias : Why Not?

(Wulfric ignores Tobias)

Wulfric : Okay everyone, you know the disclaimer, I own none of this.

Albus was rushing though the corridors searching for his grandson when he about ran over Minerva. Startled, he had to steady both her and himself. Then he remembered why he was rushing through the school at five in the morning.

"Minerva! I cannot find Harry. Have you seen him?" Albus said in a rush.

"Calm yourself Albus. Harry is in my rooms. He came to visit me, right after he left his badges on your desk. Albus, I think we have a small problem."

"Wha-What? What kind of problem?" Albus asked starting to panic.

"I told you to calm down Albus. Having you in a panic won't help anyone now shut up and listen." Minerva said impatiently. " You know Harry's moods have been changing rapidly in the last twenty-four hours. I'm afraid that with how Mr. Weasley has been acting along with everything else, Harry is slipping into depression. Now, before you say anything I'm going to speak to him first, because, no offence Albus, you can be an extremely overprotective grandfather at times. And we must remember, I hide my favortism better than you do," she said with a trace of amusement in her eyes.

Albus chuckled at her last statement, " That you do Min."

"Do you have his badges?" After seeing Albus reach into his robes and remove them she continued, " Here, give them to me and I'll see what I can do. Also, leave his punishment for everything he did to Severus to me."

"How did you know it was Harry?" Albus asked.

"Simple, who else would dress him in Gryffindor robes and give him pink hair, and be smart enough to put it on a time release spell? Now, you go and be headmaster, I need to go and talk with the lion cub that's in my rooms."

With that, Minerva headed back to her rooms. Upon enterance, she found Harry looking oddly peaceful and staring into the fire. "Harry?" she questioned.

"Yes Minerva?" Harry said, but this time when he spoke it wasn't in a hollowed voice.

"Harry, you know Albus and I are worried about you, right?" she asked. Seeing Harry nod his head she continued, " Now, I found him and forced him to calm down. That man can be extremely overprotective at times, and it annoys people around him. Well, let me rephrase that, it annoys me." Harry found it hard to keep a straight face at that comment.

"You can laugh about that Harry, it's not like I would punish you for laughing, no matter what the Slytherins say. Now, onward with business. Harry, why did you give your badges back to Albus?"

Harry thought a moment before he answered her. " I gave them back because, people look at me and act as though I only got them because I'm Harry Potter - Dumbledore, and that I don't deserve any amount of high standing. The last part is because I'm the bloody 'Boy-Who-Lived' . I hate that title, but I've gotten used to it over the years. I know you are going to ask me to take the badges back, so you don't have to start on that trip. I will take my Captain's badge, if you want me to that is. I know you want me to, but I mean if you think I am the best person for the job. As for the prefect's badge. I don't know about it."

" Why don't you want it Harry?"

"Because it's one of the many reasons Ron gave, and let's face it, I'm in trouble more than anyone else pretty much. A prefect that is in trouble more than the rest of the school. How does that really look Minerva?"

Sighing she replied, "While that is true Harry, you broke rules not just to break them, but for a reason that was good. Meaning you were honest in your attempts, since you did not try and lie your way out of things. You took it like the man you're growing to be, and that is something a prefect must have. Honesty."

"Do you really think I would make a good prefect?"

"Yes Harry, I've known it for as long as I've been teaching you. You are an honest person, and that alone gives you more points than anybody. Also, you are an extremely loyal person, and you would do anything to save a friend or a person in need. You deserve to be a prefect Harry."

"Alright Minerva, may I have the prefect's badge?"

"Of course Harry, it's yours after all. Here's your Captain's badge. I'm giving it to you because you are the most worthy of it. Your talents on the pitch exceed any we've ever seen, and you are a natural born leader as we all found out from the D.A. Which I might add, the name amused Albus very much."

A small blush appeared on Harry's cheeks from the praise he just received. "Thank you Minerva. By now it must be time for breakfast, and I for one am starved."

Holding herself from laughing Minerva responded, " As you should be. Oh, and Harry, just so I can tell Albus I did, three nights detention with me for the prank you played on Severus. It was highly amusing, but we can't give you full run of the school, and you know that. Come on, we'll head down to breakfast together." As they made for the door, Harry stopped her and hugged her to her surprise.

"Thank you Minerva. It means a lot to know there is someone besides my old coot of a guardian that cares, and will listen to me." Minerva hugged him back and thought that Harry could be quite and affectionate person if he chose to be.

a/n : ack. another short chapter, but, this one gave me tremendous trouble and i have no clue why.. because after i finally got somewhere, it kinda just flowed like before.. hmph.. annoying though.. Um let's see, i'll be starting the next chapter soon.. and i have no clue what all will happen. So, you all know the drill. read, review with how much this story is plainly awful, wasted.. etc.. or you could stroke my ego and say its good. :) up to all you wonderful reviewers of course.

Wulfric

(Guess what.. I wanted Harry to have his badge after I thought on it for awhile.. so I made it so he has it now.. :) I'm allowed to do that, cause I'm the author)

Wulfric : Tobias! Must you bother me!

Tobias : Yep, because I'm tired of seeing you all huffed and puffed like this.

Wulfric : Well, I rarely end up with writers block as bad as I have had it for these last two chapters.

Tobias : So? Now chapter sixteen will just flow from your fingertips.

Wulfric : Shut Up.
