The Sword of the Lost King
Chapter 4 Discussions
Harry preceded to the headmaster's office, without anyone saying the password, Harry just absentmindedly waving his hand and the staircase opened. Everyone's eyes bulged once again. Upon reaching the headmasters office, Harry sat down, his legs over one arm, his back resting on the other, waiting for everyone to file in.
"So, what is it that you wish to discuss Albus?" Harry said bored, looking at his fingernails.
"That's Professor Dumbledore, Potter." Snape said, saying Potter like it left a foul taste on his tongue.
"That's Duke Pendragon, to you Snape." Harry retorted.
"Severus," Dumbledore warned. Dumbledore continued in a softer voice, "Duke Pendragon, is it alright if I call you Mr. Potter."
"Go head," Harry said absentmindedly.
"Mr. Potter if you would be so kind as to pay attention to when I am speaking to you." Dumbledore said, a glint of steel in his voice.
"Once you say something that is important, then I will pay attention. But currently, I have to figure out how to fix the abominable mess that you have made, so excuse me for not giving you my full attention." Harry said a bit harshly.
"And what is the 'abominable mess' as you so call it, Mr. Potter." Dumbledore asked.
"Well first, I need a trial for Sirius Black, then I need to get the minister sacked, while at the same time, find someone who will be at least marginally better than the last minister. I also have to find Tom Riddle, and all his Horcruxes. And on top of all that, try and convince my future wife not to murder me."
All three looked shocked.
"And how to do you plan on doing that, Mr. Potter?" Dumbledore asked.
"See, the problem with telling you is, you will try and stop me." Harry said, swinging his legs off the arm of the chair, and leaning in towards Dumbledore. "And if you do, well, lets just say, the Council of Seven won't be pleased." Dumbledore paled visibly.
Harry stood, "Well, I do believe we are done here, Professor." Nodding his head towards McGonagall, ignoring Snape and Dumbledore. Harry left the room and ran headlong into Lucius Malfoy.
"Out of my way, Boy." He said sneering.
"Ah, Lucius, you know, you really shouldn't speak to your superiors in such a manor, it may make them reevaluate divulging certain information."
"And what might that be?" Malfoy said, still sneering.
"The actual state of your money supplies." Harry said, looking at him knowingly. "There are always debts to be paid."
Flashback
"Daddy what is going on?" A young Lucius asked his father, as furniture and other family trinkets were being taken from the house.
"When you grow older, you will understand that there are always debts to be paid." Abraxas Malfoy said, rubbing his eyes wearily.
End Flashback
Lucius Malfoy's eyes widened, and he stumbled back a step. He soon regained his composure. "Who do you think you are? Is this some kind of joke? Get out of my way, Boy, I am Lucius Malfoy!" He said, striding past Harry and into the Headmaster's office.
Harry just shook his head, and walked back down to the Hospital wing. Going through the doors, he heard voices, pausing to listen.
"Mom I am telling you, Harry Potter saved me!" Ginny cried loudly.
"Ginny," her mother said, " Harry potter has been missing for almost 5 years, you just had a very traumatic experience, you need to calm down."
"No! I will not calm down, I am telling the truth." Ginny cried angrily.
Harry, hearing enough, decided it was time to intercede. "Excuse me, Mrs. Weasley, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. And I was wondering if I could clear some things up for you." Harry said, in an authoritative voice.
Molly Weasley, looked up expecting someone older, and was surprised at the maturity of the young man she saw before her.
"And you might be?" Molly questioned.
"I saved your daughter ma'am, Henry Pendragon." Harry said, extending his hand, as to shake.
Shaking his hand, Molly replied, "Molly Weasley." Then she with drew her hand and said to herself, "Pendragon? Where have I heard that name before?"
As Molly was thinking, Harry once again grasped Ginny's hand and kissed it, saying, "My Lady." Ginny just looked up at him in awe, then giggled at his antics.
Molly, deep in her internal questioning, missed the action, but realized whom she was actually speaking to. "Your Harry Potter." She whispered.
And with a roguish grin on his face, Harry replied, "The one and only."
