MINISTER FUDGE TO STAND TRIAL FOR TREASON

Harry put down the latest of the papers to be delivered by Owl, and looked at Hermione. His wife was curled up on the sofa fast asleep, which wasn't surprising when you considered they flew back the muggle way. Sirius wasn't in the house as he was involved with a meeting with the DMLE head, Madam Bones. She was acting as the Minister until a new one could be appointed.

Tomorrow they would be returning to Hogwarts to complete the school year. Harry was about to get up when Hermione spoke.

"You worried?" she asked him.

"About going back to Hogwarts?" he replied rubbing the back of his head, "With Voldemort defeated, Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley gone to prison and more stuff, I think that this will be our best year so far" and he paused as Hermione stretched and then finally got up. "You fancy a cup of tea?" Harry asked Hermione.

"Sure" she replied, then rushed to the toilet where Harry could hear her being sick.

"That's some fast work" Sirius said from behind.

"SIRIUS!" Harry said as he spun round. "It's not what you think" he added quickly, "Hermione ate some bad airline food" and Sirius apologised.

"I thought…"

"Well you damn well thought wrong" Hermione said, leaving the bathroom.

"I'm glad that your both here" Sirius said, and Harry could tell he was bearing some news – good or bad Harry didn't know.

"What's up?" he asked.

"I came as soon as I heard the news" Sirius said, dropping his normally happy face. "Now that everything has calmed down after the fight, Dumbledore came back and has decided upon a few things which he wants changing" and Sirius looked at the floor, and this was never a good sign.

"What has he done?" asked Hermione.

"He tore up the paper work for your wedding. Said it wasn't done properly and all that rubbish" Sirius said, "Apparently he has a marriage contract between you and Ginny Weasley" the older man said, looking up to see Hermione's expression.

"What does that mean?" Harry asked slowly. Sirius Black blew out his breath before answering.

"When he did that, he also interfered with your wedding full stop" and Sirius paused so that he could go for his wand to produce a shield charm, "It means that you are not married anymore" and Hermione's scream broke several glass figures and two windows. The girl ran from the room, and Harry knew that it was wise to leave her alone for some while until it was safe to go near Hermione.

"That man is dead" Harry fumed, "Where is that prick?" he asked, not bothering to apollogise for swearing.

"He is in the Ministry. I understand that he is getting Molly's signature on it now" Sirius said. And Harry grabbed his wand from the table, and after muttering an address, he vanished into the Floo.

"Harry! My dear boy! So nice to see you once again" Dumbledore said.

"Don't do your nice guy routine" Harry said angrily. "Sirius told me what you've done, and I want an explanation!" he finished and slammed his fist into the table.

"Please be calm" Dumbledore said, "I did what I did for the good of the wizarding world. Putting you with a good and respected wizarding family will help consolidate the power concerning the Order of the Phoenix" and he smiled when he finished his speech.

"I'll never sign" Harry told him.

"I don't need you to" Dumbledore replied, "As of ten minutes ago you was married to Ginerva Weasley" and Harry snorted.

"Ginny is a good girl, but there is no way in hell that I'll marry her" and items in the room started to shake through Harry's anger.

"I am afraid that you leave me with no choice. I'm going to have to change your views. You should never have gone to that idiot Sirius." Dumbledore said sadly, and he went for his wand. Harry threw back his cloak and went for what Dumbledore assumed was a wand – it wasn't.

"Say hello" Harry said.

"I must insist that you allow me to help you" Dumbledore said, and his fingers twitched on his wand. As a response, Harry cocked the Magnum .357 and then spoke to Dumbledore.

"Are you feeling lucky punk?" he asked, "Well? DO YA?" and when Dumbledore didn't answer, he gave a shrill whistle and the door to the office flew open and in poured the Weasley twins, Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan. All had wands out and pointing at Dumbledore and in almost no time at all, a full squad of Aurors came running in.

"What is going on?" asked the leader. Harry explained everything, and the Aurors looked at the battle ready teens, and the gun wielding Harry, and came to a brave decision.

"Albus Dumbledore, you are under arrest for breaking up a perfectly legal marriage and for the attempted forced marriage of Harry James Potter to Ginerva Weasley" the Auror said.

"But nobody else heard me make any mention of a contract" Dumbledore said, knowing full well that somebody else had to have heard him mention it to Harry directly.

"Somebody did" Harry smirked, and he went over to the window and pulled his Invisibility cloak off…

"Minerva?" Dumbledore fell into his seat.

"Good Morning Albus" McGonagall said, "If I might be so bold, I would advise you to not choose the leek and potato soup. It can give you the runs somewhat awful I hear…" and McGonagall tried very hard to laugh – and she succeeded. Dumbledore was led away in chains, and the Auror asked Harry about what he should do concerning the now vacant Chief Warlock's place. The boy thought about it for some time before answering that anyone was better then Dumbledore, and he walked off to the Floo network. A few moments after that and he was standing inside his home again - Hermione rushing into his arms like a speeding bullet. Once she had calmed down, Harry assured her that everything was going to be alright concerning their marriage, and that he thought she should calm down and maybe take a little lie down on their bed.

"Do you want to come with me?" Hermione said.

"I thought I always did?" questioned Harry, and Hermione pulled him gently by the hand upstairs to the top floor.

"Okay…" Sirius said, and then started to whistle "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"

The train ride was nearly the same as it always was, Harry thought, the only difference, however, being the addition of an extra carriage at the back for Harry, Hermione and their close friends. The coach was like the old LNER observation cars that went up and down the muggle railways during the thirties. Harry had spoken to McGonagall about it and she had done the work which was needed. Harry would have done it himself, but he couldn't as he had lost the powers which he had gained during his time away. Harry didn't mind all that much as he had been left with the abilities of limited wandless magic which helped when Harry couldn't be bothered to use his wand. Hermione said that she thought he could pass for a respectable Jedi Knight. The raven haired teen sat with his wife in his arms and watched the scenery going by, and hoped that there wouldn't be another year without Harry – he didn't think he could stand it should it happen again.

His mind turned to thoughts concerning Hermione and the discussion concerning when they should have kids. It was an instant agreement that nothing should happen until they had both gotten good jobs. Harry had decided that he would like to be an Auror, and so he and Hermione had picked some books that Sirius had recommended to him. Hermione also wanted to be an Auror, claiming that someone would need to do the paperwork after all, but that it would be nice to do all the research most of the time. Time sped by and soon they arrived at the castle, and the whole train disembarked. Harry looked as the caste seemingly sprouted from the darkness and looked at the many lighted windows.

"I think I'm going to enjoy this year" he said, hugging Hermione close to him.

A/N:

Well that's it… The final chapter, and that leaves me with just the one Harry Potter story remaining. If you liked the chapter and the fic as a whole... then tell me please! All work will now go towards "I'm Not Going"
