[A/N: This is my first story, so please be nice =)
DISCLAIMER: And by the way, my name is not Joanne Rowling, so unfortunately HP does NOT belong to me, though it really is such a shame...]
(~ss~ - means something is spoken in Parseltongue;
'ergh' - thoughts;)
Also a rather good question was asked in one of the reviews: "Why does Harry act like this?" Well, what can I say? He wanted peace, wanted to stop purebloods from killing off all muggleborns. And so, when he began noticing, that his winning resulted in a situation where muggleborns began killing off purebloods, he obviously became angry =)
Chapter Two:
Truth of Society.
As Harry James Potter, Lord Potter-Black, strode into the Minister's Office, his magic was almost visible, scaring the secretary and other members of the staff. He came to a halt in front of the desk and sneered at his former best friend:
"Hello, Ronald."
The red haired man jumped lightly, since he was so into another new atrocious bill written according to the plan, that he did not notice the incredibly big magical signature of the wizard in front of him:
"Potter," - he said icily - "What has brought the reclusive hero all the way to the Ministry? We are quite all right on our own."
'Damn, what's wrong with him? We've been through so much together, why does act like such an arrogant ass?' - wondered Harry mentally - 'Or is it... is it that he's always been like this and I was blind enough not to notice?'
The raven haired man narrowed his Avada Kedavra green eyes and said in a voice that he always heard from Snape when he was a student at Hogwarts:
"Oh really? Did you forget so soon just who it was who made you Minister, Ronnikins?" - it was said in perfect drawl of a pureblood aristocrat, but inside Harry cringed at his tone, since it was connected to a lot less than pleasant memories - "I've come because of the atrocities you publish as laws."
Ronald Weasley, Minister of Magic as of two years ago, shivered slightly, feeling the air become colder, as Potter became even angrier:
"Now see here, we're just ensuring a peaceful future for our children." - he gulped, as he was treated to another harsh glare of the emerald green eyes - "This is necessary to make sure that another war doesn't break out."
Listening to what the man he considered his best friend not so long ago was saying, Harry couldn't believe his ears.
'Merlin, what the fuck is wrong with him? Where did these thoughts come from? Did Hermione agree to this?' - he thought frantically, trying and failing to find a reasonable explanation for the drastic change that happened to Ron - 'How did he become like this? And how on Earth could I have missed it?'
"Oh really? So you want to build peace based on mass-murder? Exactly how are you different from Voldemort?" - he spat out and froze. As soon as the words were out of his mind, he realized that while it was a horrible thing to say, it was rather true in this case. At that moment it also dawned him, that he actually had no fucking idea as to what exactly his now dead nemesis wanted when he began his war.
'Great, yet another topic I neglected to research!' - the desire to bang his head on the wall was hard to overcome, but Harry knew that such an action would definitely ruin the image he was trying to project during the meeting - 'Seems Snape was right again, I really am an ignorant dunderhead...'
Hermione Emma Weasley nee Granger was busy reading through the Plan she and Ron inherited from Dumbledore. It was his master plan for the future of the Wizarding World. At first the cleverest witch of her generation thought it was horrid, but just a few weeks later she agreed with Ronald that yes, it was indeed better in the long run.
[A/N: obviously she was subtly helped to reach such a conclusion =)]
At present she followed the plan without so much as a second thought, but from time to time she would have break-downs because of repressed guilt, not that she would ever admit it. And with each new law it became worse. However what they forced Tonks to do was by far the worst and try as she might Hermione couldn't forget how the Auror was dragged cursing and screaming into the operation room. Of course, Ron lated told her that it was for the best, but she couldn't make herself believe it.
So when she faintly felt Harry's magical presence, she stayed in her office, choosing the safe option, for knew perfectly well, that the Man-Who-Won was very angry.
Minister Weasley felt sweat trail down his back, he was that nervous, but he couldn't afford to back down, the Plan was worth angering the Hero:
"Look, Harry..."
The wizard in question interrupted him briskly:
"Lord Potter-Black to you, Minister Weasley. Only my friends may call me by my first name and you are not one of them."
'OK, not the most polite thing I could have said, but her does have to learn...' - thought Potter, as he studied the fidgeting Minister of Magic.
While Harry was calm and composed and his voice was that of condescending politeness, Ronald was a nervous wreck. It was hard to believe that this man fought in the war, for he lacked any common sense.
The Minister finally continued speaking, his voice trembling slightly:
"I apologize, Lord Potter-Black... But the Plan was written out by professor Dumbledore. It may seem rather harsh at this point, but I assure you there is a reason for all of our actions."
Harry couldn't control his reaction and a harsh bark of laughter escaped his mouth before he glared at the sitting man:
"Listen up, Minister, what you're doing cannot be justified by any excuse you believe in. Mark my word, I will do all I can to stop this insanity and I swear I will make you pay for what you did to Dora."
With that Harry James Potter left the Ministry and hurried back to 12, Grimmauld Place to continue his research in hopes to find any clue that would point him to the right decision.
[And that's it for now. I know that Ron is very OoC, but since this is a Weasley bashing fic, it is necessary. He will be much like Fudge, maybe even worse. Hermione on the other hand is a different story.
Still waiting for the thoughts about the Poll.
