Wulfric : WOOT!

Tobias : Someone is in a happy mood.

Wulfric : Right you are, this chapter has atoned for my last two. Well in my eyes it has.

Tobias : Easy to write your manipulations of JK's first five years this time?

Wulfric : Yes, and shut up so the readers can read it!

The last two months had flown by, with not much in change. Albus was happy that Harry had decided to keep the prefect's badge, and he knew that no matter what, he couldn't exactly give up a Quidditch captaincy. He had just needed a little assurance. Harry had been doing extremely well in all of his classes and even in potions. Snape had been as cruel as ever in class, but Harry did what he did with Umbridge, and not let Snape get the best of him. He knew that Snape was expecting him to turn and run to Albus, but so far Harry hadn't and he had no plans of it.

Seeing as he was quidditch captain, he needed to form a team and set out tryouts. In the end his new team had; Ginny Weasley, Katie Bell, and Natalie Rodgers as chasers, Colin and Dennis Creevey as beaters, and of course Ron as a keeper and himself as seeker. Harry had high hopes for his team, so he practiced them, almost as much as Oliver Wood had practiced him for three years.

So in everything short, Harry had been doing really well. He had handled any urges he had well, and even surprised Albus one morning. Harry had been having a bad night, but hadn't wanted to wake his grandfather, so he just crawled into bed with him. Albus had awoken in the morning to his grandson curled up beside him sleeping peacefully. Harry simply told him later, that his mere presence made him feel calm and safe.

As Harry made his way down to breakfast on Halloween he couldn't help but feel there was something off in the castle, almost like a warning. Shaking that feeling, he entered the Great Hall to be met with an outstanding silence. He looked up at where is grandfather was sitting, to be met with a grim expression. That expression could only mean one thing, an attack. Harry didn't have long to wonder who the attack was on, as an angry Ron descended upon him.

Ron threw a copy of the Daily Prophet that had the headline : Death Eaters Attack Burrow! and a following story that stated nobody had been killed, but there were serious injuries. Harry didn't get a chance to read any further as Ron began shouting.

"See! Look at what happens because of you! People are attacked and it is all chance that they don't die! You got my brother killed during the summer, and before that it was Sirius, Cedric, all the people you've seen in those bloody 'visions' of yours, and of course your own parents! I mean we cannot forget them, they gave their lives for you. I don't think they'd like what they'd see if they were here now. You are an egotistical selfish, spoiled prat! Yes, you are the mighty, well, you may as be the grandson of Dumbledore, and you have a family now and all that bullshit. Let's face it Mr. Potter-Dumbledore, nobody really gives a damn about you. Yea, yea the headmaster adopted you, but we have all figured out that was just to keep you around and so you wouldn't do anything stupid." Ron spat out.

Harry began to look pale, and he was slightly trembling, but nobody took notice as Ron began screaming more.

"Nobody in this damn Hall loves you Harry. You have nobody. As it appears now, you're just scum on the bottom of the lake, and even that's too good for you. Potter-Dumbledore, you are the reason You-Know-Who is after us all. Why couldn't you have just died with him that night fifteen years ago!"

There was a collective gasp of shock amongst the members in the Hall. Had Ronald Weasley just said that? It was apparent he had, as Harry tried to turn and run, only to be blasted against the doors of the Great Hall by Ron.

" Selfish bastard, you were going to run and not give a damn, " Ron was heard muttering.

Harry knew he was tired, and he just wished he was in his room. He felt a strange feeling envelop him, it wasn't unpleasant it just felt weird. It felt as though it was flying on his broom. When he opened his eyes and saw he was sitting on his bed, he realized he had just apperated in Hogwarts! Hermione was going to be beside herself with the thought that 'Hogwarts, A History' was wrong. Harry leaned back on his bed and mentally thanked Hogwarts for allowing him an escape, and he had the feeling she understood. Without wasting time, he did what he had not done in close to two months time. Harry murmured that spell along his forearms once again.

After Harry made his disappearance from the Great Hall, Albus stood and rushed out. He was hoping Harry was in their rooms, for he wasn't exactly sure what just went on but he had an idea.

"Aww look, Headmaster Dumbledore is off to check and make sure nothing happens to poor ickle Harry, " Ron said aloud to the entire Hall. Sadly for him, he did not see Professor McGonagall directly behind him.

"Ronald Weasley!" she yelled making everyone in the Hall jump at least a foot in the air. " How dare you pin everything on Mr. Potter. You know nothing that he has went through since that night fifteen years ago. Harry was given to his relatives to be raised, and that barely happened seeing as what they were. He comes to a school were he's famous for something he cannot remember, and didn't even know about till Hagrid went and got him before his first year. Even after he came here and began his schooling he has never been safe, seeing as each year something goes wrong. He's seen more people die than any of us in this Hall have, and he already feels guilty enough without you adding onto that."

She continued to rant at him, "You have always been jealous of him Mr. Weasley, and I think I know one of the main reasons why. You are jealous of him, because he has everything you could have ever dreamed of and yet he does not want it. Sadly for you, you cannot relieve him of that burden. It was something that happened long ago, and now Harry must live with the fact he has no parents, but that they gave their lives so he could live. He now has a guardian and don't you dare think the headmaster does not love him. You are serving two months worth of detention and you've lost one hundred and twenty-five points for everything you expressed this morning." With that, she marched out of the Hall leaving a quaking Ron in her wake.

Albus entered his rooms, and hurried to Harry's room. He was relieved when he saw him laying on his bed, but noticed Harry was jumpy and almost ashamed. "Harry, " Albus said softly. " Harry child, look at me."

Harry hesitantly raised his head to look at Albus. There on Albus' face for the world to see, was the expression of love that he held for his grandson. Harry couldn't take looking at that face after what he had done right before his guardian had come up. Instead, he looked away shamefully.

Albus knew what Harry had done the instant he looked away from him. "Harry," Albus began. " I know what you have done, and you should know I am not angry with you. Sometimes our emotions become too much, and we cannot think straight. While I would like for you to find better methods of calming yourself down in these situations, I will not become angry with you Harry. I love you, and you know that. Nothing could ever change the fact, that you are my pride and joy."

Harry knew his guardian was speaking the truth. " I-I.. I love you too Albus. I'm sorry I left the hall like I did. I did not even realize I had, till I opened my eyes and I was sitting here. A-and.. " But Harry couldn't continue seeing as Albus was sitting beside him holding him tight. Harry started to cry as everything Ron had said to him came back, and Albus rubbed his back and let him get it all out.

After awhile, Harry's cries slowed and then stopped. " There Harry, it's alright. Now, I have to question about your performance in the Hall. Did you know how you achieved to apparate within Hogwarts?"

"No Albus, I have no clue," Harry said softly, still clutching Albus' robes.

"Harry, the only people to have ever apperated in the school were the founders themselves. If my guesses are right, you are related to one of the founders somehow. If you'd like we could find out for sure."

"How would we do that Albus?" Harry questioned.

"There is a potion, a genetical potion, that with a drop of the person's blood will show their family tree on a piece of provided parchment," Albus answered.

"When can we do it?"

"Now if you'd like to Harry." Albus almost had to chuckle as his charge basically pulled him into his office.
