Chapter 4: for the greater good?
Harry woke up hours later to the sound of his sister yelling. He groaned as he rolled over, trying to block out the noise. Of course that was all for not as the bedroom door slammed open. He yelped in shock as he fell off the bed.
"Ugh!" he grunted.
Hermione ran over to her brother and helped back onto the soft bed, "Are you ok Harry?"
He nodded, "yeah just peachy! What were you yelling about?"
She blushed and gave him a sheepish smile, "oh you heard that huh?"
He gave her a look and nodded, "yeah. What's wrong?"
The dark haired girl sighed and sat next to her brother on the bed, "I got letters from Ron and the headmaster." He raised an eyebrow, trying to understand what was wrong seeing as far as the Order knew Hermione was at home, and made a gesture for her to continue, "They said you ran away then they had the gall to act worried for you when you and I both know what a load of shit that is. They also said that there was an Order meeting tonight. I have to go." she sighed, "I really don't look forward to see those hypocrites."
Harry was quiet for a long time before he started smiling. Hermione looked at him in confusion, thinking her brother had finally gone around the bend, not that anyone could blame him with all the stuff he has been through.
"Why the bloody hell are you smiling?"
"Because, my dear sister, Dumbledore is a real idiot. By telling you to go to the order meeting not only can you spy on them but you can get the twins, Luna, and Neville on our side. Once the meeting is over bring them back here, it is only fair that they learn the truth."
Hermione bite her lip," are you sure we can trust them?" she felt a little bad for not having faith in her friends but after what happened with Ron, anything was possible.
Harry nodded, "yes, I know the twins would always be on my side even when Ronald acted the giant arse he is. Luna is something else but I have a feeling that she'll side with us. Remember our fifth year? And as for Neville, I'm not sure but i know that he is hiding how he really is. Everyone expects him to be this bumbling idiotic Gryffindor but we both know better."
Hermione nodded at that, even though Neville was always somewhat awkward he was brave and once he set his mind on something he didn't back down,"alright I'll talk to them." she took a look at the clock and sighed, "well if I'm going to that meeting I better go now."
He smiled at his sister and she smiled back before leaning down to kiss his head and tell him, "don't forget to take your potions." with that she turned around and left Harry alone with his thoughts. Which went to telling those closets to him the truth about everything; the abuse he suffered, the beatings he received, the pain he felt, and most important the betrayal he experience from a man who didn't care who he hurt as long as it was "for the greater good."
How many other lives has he ruined? How many people have suffered for this man's ideals? How many coffins are filled with people who died for the greater good? When will people see that the so called greater good is causing more damage then good? When it's too late? Harry shuddered at the thought of Dumbledore winning the war and taking over the ministry of magic. Who knows what that bloody old fool might do when he has control of everything?
Harry's eyes widen as a new train of thought ran through his mind. What will happen to him when the war is over? What will Dumbledore do to Harry after he full filled his purpose? Will he be sent to Azkaban? Or will he just be killed? Harry wrapped his arms around himself at the thought of being sent to the wizard prison and going insane. He wasn't confident that he could stay sane for as long as Padfoot had. Harry didn't have many happy thoughts seeing as every year before Hogwarts he was treated as a house elf and stuffed under a cupboard. And the years since he first entered Hogwarts were filled with him being attacked and people trying to kill him. His best year at Hogwarts had to be his third year when he met Sirius and Remus but even then he was attacked by dementors.
Speaking of his godfather, he missed him so much. Everything wasn't the same since Sirius fell through the veil. Harry had a feeling that if Padfoot was still here, he wouldn't have been used as he had been. Hell if Remus was Harry would be with him right now...if Remus was here. Harry wasn't even sure exactly where Remus was. Dumblebitch was always sending him out in missions involving other werewolves. It was basically a suicide mission seeing as most werewolves weren't too fond of Dumbledore and they had good reason not too. Even though Dumbledore supported equality for all people, creature and non, Harry knew for a fact that Remus was one of the very few werewolves ever to attend Hogwarts and even then he still had trouble.
Speaking of which many muggle born and muggle raised witches and wizards had a hard time adjusting to Hogwarts seeing as they are so used to doing things the muggle way that the pureblood way of doing things confuses them greatly. It would be better if there were classes on the wizarding world for those who needed it. Hell Harry would be confused to f it wasn't for Hermione and her fierce passion for books. But of course Dumbledore wouldn't allow it, it was better if at least some of his students stayed ignorant of how things are. How else would he get people to worship and join the Light side to fight for the "greater good."
Harry scoffed, so far the greater good wasn't helping many.
