Wulfric: Aeneas!

Aeneas: Yes Master Wulfric?

Wulfric: Do you know where Tobias is?

Aeneas: Yes Master Wulfric, Tobias is in the one bathroom trying to dye his hair the muggle way.

Wulfric: Ahh, thank you. Now readers, you all know this, since I state it each chapter.. I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER!

Albus opened the door to find Harry sitting on the edge of his bed. When Albus sat down beside him Harry glanced up for a minute before looking at his lap. That quick glance allowed Albus to see that in those emerald green orbs of his grandson selfcontrol was fighting.

"Harry, look at me child," said Albus softly.

Slowly Harry raised his head, but he didn't look at Albus. Instead he placed his head against the man's chest and withheld a sob. Albus rubbed his back in calming circles while murmuring soft gentle words in his ear. After a few moments Harry spoke.

"I'm sorry I left the Hall. I know I'm stronger than this. I have to be stronger than this, I mean, I'm the 'Boy-Who-Lived' and I have to face Voldemort at some point in time, and therefore I have to be brave. Even if I wasn't who I am, I'm a Gryffindor and Gryffindors are strong, brave people."

"Even strong, brave Gryffindors need help at times," said Albus.

"Yes, they do. Before this year, I was part of the inseperatble trio. That was broken, and instead I found a friend in my once most hated person besides Voldemort. Before this year, I was a lonely kid during the summers and holidays seeing as I did not have a family. Now, I've got a grandfather, the greatest one I could ever ask for I might add, and a grandmother that somehow fell in love with the crazy coot my grandfather is, and I know they'll always be there for me."

"That's right Harry, we will be here no matter what. Even after you graduate, you are welcome here at anytime for Hogwarts is your home."

"I know Granddad, and maybe when I've graduated, I'll come back and take up the jinxed Defense post. If I can survive Voldemort as many times as I have, then a jinxed job should be a walk in the park," said Harry.

Albus gave a small smile to the teen in front of him. The teen that was forced to grow up long before he should have, and yet he was still a caring soul to those he loved.

They sat there for another minute or two, before the bell rang for classes to start. Harry jumped off his bed and made to rush out the door.

"Harry," Albus called.

"Yea Granddad?"

"You're not an Heir of Gryffindor for nothing."

Harry stopped and thought a minute before he remembered, he could apparate within Hogwarts as long as there was a need.

"Thanks Granddad!" exclaimed Harry before he disappeared. Albus just chuckled and headed into his office to work on the amount of paperwork building there.

Later in the day when Harry got to Transfigurations he heard Ron staging a loud converstation about something or other. From the expression on his face, it had to of been about this morning.

"I mean why would he have left if he had nothing to do with it?" said Ron.

Harry sat in his seat willing Ron to just shut up, but he kept getting louder.

"See, if I was in his shoes, I would have taken care of this years ago."

At that statement, Harry snapped. He remembered what his grandfather and what Minerva had told him about fighting back. Yes, he would be in trouble, but it would show Ron he was tired of the games.

"Tell me Ron, how many times have you seen Voldemort?"

"What does that matter Scarhead?"

"Because you do not know fear until you are looking him in the face, seeing his snake-like features," said Harry in a cold voice.

"Oooh, I don't know fear because I've never met the man that you're so intent on destroying one of these days. I bet you could have beaten him our first year, but you probably made some sort of deal with him!"

At this point Harry could feel his magic almost pulsing in his veins. He didn't know how much longer he could control it.

"I lost my godfather thanks to his followers. Why would I have ever made a deal with him when death follows his wake!"

"Hell if I know, probably to make everything look good."

Harry couldn't listen to him anymore. Within three hand movements, Ron was silenced, tied to his chair, and had frilly flowers sprouting from ears. It was at this point that Professor McGonagall made her presence known.

"Mr. Potter, you know I will have to assign detention and twenty five points from Gryffindor for this."

"Yes ma'am," said Harry as he took his seat.

"Very well then, let's begin."
