Into the Past
This final memory began just after leaving Hagrid's and continued until just after Pettigrew escaped.
Harry could only hope now, hope that they would believe him about Voldemort, Sirus' innocents and his own innocents. The court room was silent and Harry couldn't bring himself to look at their faces.
"This… This is preposterous," Cornelius Fudge sputtered. "These memories can't be real!"
"Are you really going to argue that a 15 year old boy is skilled enough in mind magics to manipulate and create memories?" Madame Bones demanded.
Chapter 13: School
"I… He… Dumbledore! Dumbledore manufactured the memories and put them in the kids head!" Fudge said triumphantly.
"You realize you are accusing one of the most respected wizards of all times of an incredibly heinous and illegal act? No matter how senile he may have gotten I doubt he would do something like that." Madame Bones argued. "Perhaps we should keep to the matter at hand and discuss politics latter?"
"Yes, of course. All those who feel Harry Potter is guilty raise your hand." Fudge said.
Harry took a deep breath and looked up. There were only a handful of hands raised!
"Harry Potter found not guilty," declared a defeated Fudge.
A wide smile spread across Harry's face; he turned to look at Dumbledore, but he was already exiting the door. Realizing just how right Evan was when he said that Dumbledore was going to ignore him made him frown. He decided to take his own future advice and learn occlumency.
Harry had told Hermione about it and she was reluctant to change how things should go, but when he told her that he was getting into Voldemort's head she changed her tune. Apparently his welfare was more important than the space-time continuum, a nice thing to know.
He nodded at Madame Bones before walking out to the hallway were he found Mr. Weasley, "Harry, I was hoping you found your way down here. I can't believe I lost you. So, how did it go?"
"All clear!" Harry said smiling again.
"Great, let's get you back to headquarters I'm sure the others are dying to hear about it." Mr. Weasley said as he hustled him to the apperation point.
With a loud POP Harry found himself back in the kitchen of 12 Grimmauld Place. "I have to get back to work so I'll let Harry tell you the good news."
"Not Guilty!" Harry said.
Screams of congratulations went around the room. He found himself being hugged by multiple people, the twins and Ginny were doing a victory dance around the kitchen and Mrs. Weasley declared that she was going to make a feast to celebrate.
Evan sat in the corner smiling. He would pull Harry way and ask him how their plan worked in a bit, but for now he would let him celebrate. Evan turned toward Sirius who was sitting next to him, he opened his mouth but was cut off.
"Don't even think about warning me about curtains again." He said annoyed.
Evan chuckled, "I wasn't, but what I was going to do was point out that since I'm teaching Defense then I should have a familiar. I was thinking of getting a big black grim like dog to take with me to Hogwarts. What do you think?"
"Hell Yes!" Sirius yelled drawing the attention of everyone in the room.
Evan leaned over and whispered, "You're not very good at subtly."
"No, he's not." Remus chimed in. "Annoying and being loud, now those are his specialties."
"Huh, I would have thought that his specialties were escaping the law and drinking massive amounts of alcohol." Evan said looking thoughtful.
"Now this isn't the time or the places for that discussion," Molly said disapproving of the direction of the conversation.
Later that night there was a huge celebration with lots of food. Everyone was in a good mood. Not two days later their Hogwart's letters came. There were only two surprises as everyone knew that Hermione was bound to be a prefect, but it was a shock that Ron became one as well, unless of course you were from the future, in that case it was only amusing to see everyone's reactions. The other big surprise with the letters was that there was no DADA book listed. Whenever someone would ask Evan why it wasn't there he would simply hum a song no one recognized.
Finally Sirius snapped, "What is that bloody song you keep humming?"
Evan snickered, "It was one of the songs of Teddy's favorite cartoons:
The phone! We'll be right there!
The phone, the phone is ringing!
There's an animal in trouble,
there's an animal in trouble,
there's an animal in trouble somewhere!
this is sewious.
It hasn't been invented yet, but it's a cute show, and the song kinda gets stuck in your head."
The weeks flew by and soon the the trio, twins, and Ginny were loaded on to the Hogwarts express. They didn't know that Sirius was going to be Evan's familiar, or that Remus and Tonks would also be staying there. It was easy enough to convince Fudge, for the mysterious Lord Hogwarts, that he should have an auror (Tonks) stay at Hogwarts to watch the barmy headmaster, especially after a simple gold donation. And Remus was going to be there so he could keep an eye on Teddy while Evan was teaching. Of course fudge didn't know that.
Fudge also didn't know how the news of the trial leaked out to the Prophet, but as a result he enacted an old law that was basically media censorship. Every article that was to be printed had to be filtered by the Ministry first. This caused a lot of bad blood because it was giving people more paper work and everyone hates paperwork. Despite the blatant demand to brush it under the rug, rumors were circling about a cover-up and that the Minister was a Death Eater. Many people believed the rumors were rubbish and to an extent they were. So, the Fudge wasn't going anywhere anytime soon; it helped that he had Wizengamot under a silencing law as well.
So, since the Minister was stuck on the scene Evan was doing his best to get him in his pocket and away from Malfoy. It was taking time and all of his Slytherin skills, but so far so good. That was how he got Tonks stationed at Hogwarts.
The fact of the matter was he now had two personas and the Order only knew about one. The Order knew that Evan James McFly was really Harry Potter from the future, but they had no idea the Lord Hogwarts was also the same person. All they knew about Lord Hogwarts was that he was very wealthy and was slowly creeping into a perfect place to manipulate the Minister. This of course made them nervous, what if he was a Death Eater? Snape had assured them that he wasn't because the Dark Lord wanted to know who he was as well, and he wanted to recruit Lord Hogwarts and to get him under his thumb. His alternate persona of Lord Hogwarts was highly debated. No one knew who he was or where he had come from. The Order debated about whether he was on the side of the light and if they should try to recruit him. Evan found this all highly amusing, but told no one that he was Lord Hogwarts.
As the students filed into the Great Hall they all noticed the new teacher that had the Grim sitting next to him. Whispers were quick to go around the room; everyone knew that the DADA teachers didn't last long and this one was obviously being followed by the Grim. Clearly his death was imminent, yet he sat there with a smile on his face like he didn't have a care in the world.
After the feast Albus Dumbledore stood up, "Welcome to our new and old students. I have a few announcements to make before you head off to get you beauty sleep. First, there is to be no magic in the corridors; second, the Forbidden Forest is in fact forbidden; third, there is a list of all band items on Mr. Filch's office door. Lastly, we have a new Defense instructor, Professor Evan McFly." He said gesturing to the young brown haired young man next to him who gave a lazy wave. "He has brought along with him his pet dog Snuffles and his four year old son Teddy. So, if you see a large black dog or a small rambunctious child, you need not fear for your life. Now sleep well." He said dismissing them.
The next morning the students stumbled into the hall and had breakfast while getting reacquainted with old friends. Students quickly noticed something different about their schedules; all the Gryffindors and Slytherins had Defense together as did the Revanclaws and Hufflepuffs.
Evan's first class was his younger self's class. Wow, that was weird. He sat on his desk waiting for them to arrive; as they came in they gave him odd looks. What kind of teacher sits on their own desk? As per usual they divided up Gryffindors on one side Slytherins on the other.
"Well, now that we are all here I'd like to introduce myself. I am Evan McFly and you are to call me Evan as Professor McFly makes me feel old. I'm sure you noticed that you were not assigned a book for this class. Everything I teach you will be practical. You will give me a theoretical essay on our current topic every Monday that way you have the weekend to work on it." Groans filled the classroom and Evan held back a smirk. Hermione looked disapproving, but then again she was always one for theory. "Any information you need for your essay can be found in the library, so there is no point in cutting down more trees."
"Theoretical research for your essays is not the only research you will be doing," more groans. "Every Friday we will have a debate. Now the first thing is I have to divide you up into two teams for the debate, so you will have the next 30 minutes to write an essay on your beliefs. Think of it as a way to persuade me to your point of view. Now begin." He smiled at them. He already knew who he was going to have on a team, but he was going to have a debate lesson every week for all of his classes and it would be odd for him to ask all the other classes their beliefs and not this class.
Evan had specifically asked for the Gryffindors and Slytherins to be paired for his classes, same with the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. The best way he could see for house unity was to get them together. After all, sometimes you just needed to argue out your differences.
After the 30 min he browsed through the essay's they varied greatly, and he had to let out a chuckle when he read Hermione's SPEW essay. "Okay I want everyone to line up in the back of the room, when I call your name please step to the front of the class. Malfoy, Nott, Greengrass, Zabini, Goyle, Potter," He got surprised looks as his younger self stepped forward confusion written all across his face, "Longbottom, Brown, and Thomas please take a seat on the right side of the room, those of you in the back take a seat on the left (Bulstrode, Crabbe, Davis, Parkinson, Finnigan, Granger, Patil, and Weasley). These will be your seats for the rest of the year."
"The people on the same side of the room as you are your debate teammates. Our first debate will be on Friday the topic will be house elves rights." Hermione got this huge grin on her face while the other Gryffindors moaned and the Slytherins looked confused. "I expect each team to have come up with a name and to research there side thoroughly. Failure to take these debates seriously will result in you failing the lesson and being kicked out of class. The right side," Gesturing to the side with Malfoy and little Harry, "Will argue for House Elves' rights, and the left will argue against."
