Chapter 23: Decisions
Severus POV
One of the things that I could always count on is Gryffindor's being stupid. And, sure enough, Mr. Longbottom arrived to tell me that he had overheard Granger and Weasley bragging about hurting Harry.
"I've never been more ashamed of Gryffindor right now," he told me.
I sighed and said, "It's not your fault. They have hated him since the end of last year. I have to tell the Headmistress about this."
He nodded and then left my office. I knew that it hurt him that two people, who were supposed to be his friends, had done this. Gathering my thoughts I left my office as well, sealing the door. I then made my way to the Headmistress office.
"Catnip," I said and the gargoyle sprang to life and stepped aside to let me enter.
I still can't believe that I have to say that horrible word every time I want to see the Headmistress.
"Enter," Minerva called out when I knocked on the door. I took a deep breath and opened it and she looked up. "What do you need, Severus?"
"Mr. Longbottom has told me who attacked Potter," I said.
This got her attention and I closed the door.
"Who attacked him?"
"Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley," I answered.
"No, Longbottom is wrong," she said and I knew that she didn't want to admit that Longbottom was right.
"I think that we should have them take a truth potion, to know for sure," I suggested, "And then leave their punishment up to you."
"I still don't believe that they had anything to do with it, but, Kingsley wants to know the truth."
"I'll bring them to you."
To say that Weasley and Granger were happy to see me would be lying. I brought them to Minerva and sat down. We all waited for what she would say. And then, "I want you to drink this."
"What! No way!"
"Do what the Headmistress tells you," I snapped, not in the mood for their nonsense.
"You will drink this or I will force it down your throat."
That got them to do exactly what we wanted.
The potion confirmed what Longbottom said was true. Weasley and Granger, sick and tired of Potter making Hogwarts look bad, decided to knock him out when they knew that he wasn't looking. They locked him in that room, knowing that there would be no way that he could escape. They wanted to do it so that he would violate his binding contract and lose his magic.
"He gets everyone killed," Granger snarled, hate in her eyes.
The look on Minerva's face was thunderous. Even though she had given Harry a hard time, she still didn't approve of this.
"You're expelled," she said.
"You can't do that," Weasley said, "This is all Potter's fault."
"Like anyone is going to believe you," I told them, "Not when the staff gets done smearing your names all over the Daily Prophet."
And, thus, Weasley and Granger left Hogwarts. They were lucky not to head to Azkaban for their crime. I reported what had happened to Remus, who was upset about what happened but relieved that it was over.
"I'll let him know that it's been taken care of."
"Did he throw things?" I asked him.
"What do you think?" Remus asked back and then the connection was cut.
I visited Potter in St. Mungo. Half the charms had been removed, and he was looking better, but Kingsley, who was there, said that the choice had been decided that Potter wouldn't take on the third task.
"I did the spell to release him from the contract," Kingsley told me.
"Good," I said, "I think that there's been enough nonsense this year to last me three decades."
"That I'm going to agree," he said and he left me alone with Potter.
Four Months Later…..
I was busy packing things up for the summer holiday's when there was a knock on the door. The Triwizard Tournament was over. Krum had won, which meant that his school would be hard to live with.
"Enter," I said and the door opened to reveal a weak Potter standing there. "I see that they released you."
"The Healer told me that I can rest in a place that I won't be bothered," he said, "I think that the Apollo kids can help me out."
"I'll agree with that."
"I talked to Fudge, telling him that I'm going to a school in the States," he said, "After all that has happened he agreed that I need to be away from England."
"So you're going to-."
"Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Harry answered, "Lady Hecate is going to make sure that I get a wand permit. They do things differently."
"That's what I've been told."
"So what are you going to do?" Harry asked me.
"Minerva forced me to renew my contract, with more money," I said, "But I told her that I'll leave at the end of next year."
"Then we part ways," Harry said.
"That we do," I said and then I said, "Harry, I wish you well."
"Thanks," he said and he walked out of my office and was gone.
I really didn't hear more about Harry, even though he helped out when Kronos tried to destroy Olympus. I traveled Europe, talked to some of the great minds in Potions, and did everything that I had ever wanted to do in my life. A life without Voldemort around was a good one.
