"No." Harry said calmly.
"Harry," Dumbledore said benevolently, "I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to go to the Ministry for that hearing of yours with Madam Bones. It is simply too dangerous."
"Alright, let me explain something to you. Are you my father?"
"What?" Dumbledore said, surprised.
"Are you my guardian?"
"No…"
"Are you the Minister of Magic?" Harry asked, still in a very calm voice.
"No. Harry—" Dumbledore began.
"Then I really don't see how this is in any way your business. You are the headmaster of my school. Headmaster. I am not in school at this moment and as such you can't tell me what I can and cannot do. Now, I am going to tell you how today is going to happen. I am going to that meeting. And you will not stop me. Good day, Headmaster." And with that Harry left with Arthur, who had agreed to take Harry with him until his meeting.
-At the meeting-
"Welcome, Mr. Potter, I trust you are doing well?" Madam Bones inquired courteously.
"I'm actually quite good. Now how about we get started? I have quite a bit that I wanted to get into." Harry stated politely.
"Of course. How about we start from the beginning and work our way up?"
"Ok, first off I'm confused about my parents' deaths. From what I heard they were in hiding, they knew Voldemort was after them, why didn't they have a will? Because it seems to me they would have developed some kind of plan and they would have mentioned their actual Secret Keeper in the will." Madam Bones jerked in surprise.
"What do you mean 'actual' Secret Keeper? Everyone knows that Sirius Black was the Potters' Secret Keeper."
"No actually." Harry stated airily, as if merely suggesting the weather was nice. "They actually used Peter Pettigrew as their Secret Keeper. See everybody knew that Sirius was the Secret Keeper and as such they would never suspect anyone else. Pettigrew actually happened to be working for Voldemort by that point and betrayed them. He used the fact that nobody knew he was the Secret Keeper to his advantage and he made everyone believe that Sirius was the traitor. My dad, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew are actually illegal animagi, Pettigrew is a rat and he used his animagus form to escape."
Madam Bones was reeling from shock. "Are you suggesting that Sirius Black is innocent? That's impossible; this would have come out at his trial!"
Harry looked at Madam Bones with a slightly pitying look, "Not all of your predecessors seem to share your respect for actually upholding the law. AT that point in time Barty Crouch was head of the DMLE and he sent Sirius to Azkaban without a trial."
"No trial!" Madam Bones was outraged. "That is unethical. He was in a maximum security cell!"
"Exactly. He used his animagus form to escape the effects of the dementors. And he never tried to escape until he found out that Pettigrew was at Hogwarts and became worried for my safety. Then he broke out and came to protect me. He caught Pettigrew but due to…unfortunate circumstances Pettigrew escaped and nobody believe a word we said. And there was Fudge, ready to have Sirius kissed without even considering what we were saying."
Amelia looked at Harry, too shocked to even respond. "As soon as we are done here I will be arranging a trial for Sirius Black. And the Minister will be asked why he did not investigate your claims. As to your parents' will, I do not have any sort of will on file for the Potter family and I cannot explain why they did not have one."
Harry nodded, looking thoughtful. "Well, Sirius did say my dad really trusted his friends. Oh well. Anyway, my first complaints are about my first year. There was a death eater in Hogwarts with Voldemort on the back of his head. He tried to kill me multiple times and nobody seemed all that concerned and I want to know why my life was so easily disregarded. Also, whose bright idea was it to put the Philosopher's Stone in Hogwarts? Flamel kept that stone safe for over 600 years and then the one time he let it out of his sight Voldemort went after it. Who allowed such a valuable and highly sought-after object in a school full of under-aged children who would be completely defenseless? And how secure could the enchantments have really been when three first years were able to by-pass them?"
Madam Bones looked furious for a moment. "Dumbledore did what?" Harry couldn't help his fleeting thought that Madam Bones looked almost as dangerous and likely to breathe fire as the Hungarian Horntail in the TriWizard tournament. "That senile fool hid quite possibly the most desired object in all of Wizarding Europe in a school with children? I will be having a talk with Dumbledore and his serious disregard for the safety of the children in his care." No doubt about it, Amelia was pissed off.
"Well second year I have complaints yet again. Gilderoy Lockhart. Why was that incompetent moron allowed around children? His classes were basically a dramatic reading of his books. We had quizzes about his favorite color! And the headmaster never did anything to help once the chamber had been open. After the first attack, the entire castle should have been evacuated and a team of aurors should have swept the school looking for the chamber. I find it hard to believe that with so many people using such a variety of methods that nobody would have found it. Also, Hagrid, who also never had a trial, was taken to Azkaban because the Ministry "needed to be seen doing something." I was there when the Minister arrested Hagrid, he said those exact words. And to my understanding, Hagrid was never compensated for his jail time."
"All arrests are submitted through my department and I assure you I never signed any warrant for Hagrid's arrest," Amelia's eyes were burning with fury. "You mean to tell me the Minister illegally detained an innocent man in Azkaban without any just cause? The minister has a lot to answer for it seems. As does the Headmaster. I have no idea why he seems to be so carelessly gambling with his students' lives. This cannot be allowed to continue. I will not allow it."
"I already told you about my third year. Except I have this to say: Remus Lupin is a good man. He never endangered any of his students. He has never, in his entire life bitten or attacked any person and yet because he was attacked as a child and forced to endure an extremely painful transformation every month he is ostracized. He is not allowed work or even being treated as if he is anything other than some rabid animal. And you people wonder why magical creatures are never on your side. You treat all other races as though they are inferior. And while on the subject of how other species are treated, you seriously need to have a better way of evaluating how dangerous creatures are. Buckbeak the Hippogriff was sentenced to death even though if anyone had investigated they would have found him to be innocent."
Amelia seemed baffled at the direction the conversation had taken, "Well, I happen to agree with you about Wizard's treatment of other creatures but I don't have much say in the policies surrounding their treatment. I have fought for their rights but people are not interested in listening. And I honestly don't have any idea about this 'Buckbeak.'"
Harry laughed, "I would be surprised if you did. Now, fourth year. I was forced into the TriWizard tournament. I don't think I really have to explain that one. But we also had a Polyjuiced death eater as our defense teacher. And when he confirmed everything I said about how Voldemort had returned, Fudge had him kissed without even listening and then vehemently denied my claims without ever using veritaserum of checking my memories. I am charging the Minister with all-around incompetence. He should not be in any sort of position of authority when these are the kinds of decisions he is making."
"I happen to agree with you wholeheartedly. I have disagreed with the Minister on many issues but if these claims are true then I will do everything in my power to remove him from office. DO you have any grievances regarding this year? I know the school year has not yet begun."
"Well, the Daily Prophet comes to mind. Don't wizards have any kind of slander or libel laws? I would like to sue them if at all possible because I feel as though they have harmed my character."
"Mr. Potter, I can assure you that you have every right to sue the Prophet and I will help you take them for all they are worth. Now, you have given me a great deal to mull over and I would like to get started on investigating you claims, is there anything else you would like to discuss?"
"Nope," Harry said, popping the 'p.'
"Well then, Mr. Potter," Amelia said, standing up and shaking his hand. "I will be contacting you in regards to your memories and will you agree to testify if it comes to trial?"
"Absolutely," Harry said so firmly it took Amelia aback. Then he smiled and said, "I look forward to seeing you again."
And with that Harry left her office, satisfied smile on his face, thinking God, I love it when I win.
