Harry threw open the door to the hospital wing and ran inside, causing Madam Pomphrey to glare at him, Alicia and Katie at his heels.
"Mr. Potter what is the meaning of this?!" she exclaimed and Harry glared at her before speaking.
"Angelina Johnson, where is she?" he said, his tone full of hostility. He knew he was being rude, but right now he couldn't care less all he cared about was whether or not Angelina was going to be alright.
Madam Pomphrey looked as if she were going to tell him to get lost and then relented, ushering him to the far corner of the room where a lone bed sat with the curtain covering it. She pulled the curtain back and Harry felt his knees buckle at the sight before him; Angelina was lying there unconscious, her face covered in cuts and bruises, but that wasn't the worst of it. The worst part was that she was shaking as if in pain. Harry didn't need Madam Pomphrey to tell him what was affecting his girlfriend; he'd experienced the same pain last summer.
"She's been Cruicio'd hasn't she?" he asked, his voice full of fury and anger, and the Hogwarts nurse just nodded.
"Who?"
"I'm not sure, someone found her on the third floor and brought her here" she replied, wondering why she was telling the young Gryffindor all of this; usually the only people to know this information where the students' Head of House and the Headmaster, but something about the young Potter commanded respect and she found herself telling him everything she knew.
"Who would want to hurt Angelina though?" Katie asked and Harry took a minute to think about that question; who knew that he was dating Angelina and who would have a reason to target her? Harry thought back over the events of the last several days and knew there was only one person who would do this to Angelina. Eyes filled with hatred, he looked at Katie and Alicia before uttering the name.
"Ron Weasley"
"Mr. Potter, what is the meaning of this?!" Professor McGonagall demanded as she walked into the hospital wing, followed by an angry- looking Ron Weasley, Dumbledore and Snape.
"Weasley crucio'd Angelina" he said and McGonagall and Snape looked on in shock, while Ron immediately began denying it all.
"Harry, this is a serious accusation, do you have any proof?" Dumbledore asked and Harry turned to look at the Headmaster, anger and fury rising on his face, but when he spoke his voice was calm and somehow much more threatening than it would have been if he had yelled.
"There is a way to tell if I am lying Headmaster. Professor Snape would you be so kind as to check Weasley's wand and see the last spell he performed?" he asked, looking at the Potions Master who looked surprised but nodded, moving towards Ron to retrieve his wand only to find his way blocked by Dumbledore.
"Is all this really necessary Mr. Potter?" he said in that grandfatherly tone of his that Harry was really beginning to despise.
"Yes, it is. If he did nothing wrong Weasley shouldn't be afraid to have his wand checked now should he?"
"Sadly, Severus is not a qualified Ministry official and cannot test a student's wand without my approval." Dumbledore continued, believing he had outwitted Harry.
"No, but considering Mr. Potter is Lord of a Most Ancient and Noble House, he can request Severus to check Weasley's wand" Professor McGonagall interjected, and Dumbledore turned and glared at her, while Harry looked on shocked.
"Be silent Minerva! We agreed it was in Harry's best interests-"
"In his best interests!" Snape scoffed. "Just like sending him to live with the muggles was in his best interests, and making his Aunt and cousin hate him was in his best interests! Or ordering me to act as If I despised him was in his best interests?"
"Would someone please tell me what the bloody hell is going on?!" Harry yelled, causing everyone to look at him. It was as though everyone had forgotten he was there and only remembered at that moment.
"Of course Harry. You see your father and I were enemies at school, but because I loved your mother, we eventually forgave each other and became friends. Sirius and Remus eventually accepted me as well, although it did take some time for the mutt to come around" Snape said with a chuckle. "You know what happened the night your parents died. What you don't know is I was a spy for our side since I was eighteen as I had foolishly taken the Dark Mark after my last fight with your mother. I went to your house and found Dumbledore there who said you needed to go to the muggles for your own protection and that I needed to pretend to despise you, saying it was all for the 'Greater Good'. That was the hardest thing I had to do for you see, I am one of your godparents as is the mutt, Remus, Amelia Bones and Minerva" he finished and Harry looked at Minerva who nodded.
"We can talk about that later, right now can you check his wand Professor?" Harry asked and Severus nodded smiling before taking Ron's wand and performing the spell.
"The Cruciatus" Snape said and Harry felt himself burn with rage.
"I'll KILL YOU!" Harry yelled, rushing at Ron only to be stopped by a yell from across the room.
"You'll not touch my son"
Harry stopped and turned to find Molly Weasley standing there, her wand pointed at Harry's heart.
"Ask your shit of a son what he did to Angelina" Harry said and then began to walk towards Ron again, ducking as a curse flew by his ear.
He whirled just in time to see Molly fall to the floor unconscious.
"Don't even think about it bitch" voices chorused and Harry saw Snape, McGonagall, Alicia, Katie and Angelina all pointing their wands at Molly.
"Angelina are you alright?" he asked walking over to Angelina and giving her a kiss.
"I'll live, but what are we going to do about them?" she asked, pointing at Molly's unconscious form and at Ron who was trying to sneak out.
"I can handle them" a voice said and Harry turned to find a witch with a monocle stepping from the fire.
"Madam Bones" Dumbledore greeted, having been surprisingly silent during the events that occurred; Harry had almost forgotten he was there.
"Dumbledore" she replied scathingly before walking over to Harry and engulfing him in a hug.
"I'm Amelia Bones Harry" she said after she released Harry. He nodded, smiling before addressing her.
"What are we going to do?" he asked.
"Well first I'm putting these two-" she pointed at the Weasley's "under arrest and then you and these ladies are going to dinner. We'll talk tomorrow" she said exchanging looks with everyone who nodded, before Angelina slid from the bed, supported by Katie and Alicia.
"Thank you, all of you" Harry said and the adults nodded. Harry left the Hospital Wing, the three Chasers' alongside him. As he watched the young Gryffindor leave Snape smiled and thought of his love and his friend. They would be proud of the man Harry has become.
