Chapter 32-A peaceful day of relaxation
"Mr. Potter you will report to my office." Dumdledork ordered and I ignored it as a lesson was going to be taught. I did not think however that it would be two lessons.
"Did you here me Mr. Potter?" Dumdledork didn't like to be ignored in public it appeared he was getting angry.
That's when I got to teach the surprise lesson. Snape grabbed me by the arm and snatched me to my feet. "Listen you little snot…" I casually laid my hand on his arm that had hold of me, grasped it and turned on the Phoenix sun. Several hundred degrees is a little warm for human flesh, the smell was bad but the screaming was nice. That had Dumdum draw and fire a spell at me but somehow Snape got in the way; I had pulled him into the spell.
Dumdum was not to be distracted and fired another at the spot that I used to be at mille seconds ago, I was moving quickly. The spell hit someone else but it didn't stop Dumdum casting another spell. It also missed me but not another student. Well you can imagine the teachers yelling at Dumbledore to stop. I had not drawn a wand so I hoped the teachers would not join in with Dumbledore against me, I was not so sure of the Slytherins. Apparently Dumbledork had really lost it and multiple spells were flying out of his wand, all missing me but the other students were not so lucky. Professor Flitwick ended the attack with a stunner that Dumbledore apparently was not expecting. Dumbledore first got Amelia and was carted off, then the Board of Governors suspended him and Mcgonagall became interim Headmistress. Snape got St Mungo. I got McGonagall's ire.
~"Happy Paws?"
~"Oh I don't think its over yet, probably just round one of a twelve round match this year."
Later in the Headmistress office:
"What were you thinking Mr. Potter?" It appeared that Professor McGonagall was ready to verbaly lay into me with both barrels.
"That's Lord Potter if you please and now that you mention it, I am requesting private married quarters." That set McGonagall on her chair.
"And who may I ask is your wife?"
"Why this lovely lady standing next to me, Hermione."
"You married your sister?" McGonagall was hyperventilating.
"No Professor we are only related by marriage." Hermione giggled.
"OH what am I thinking, yes, sorry, ah Gryffindor quarters painting to the left of the fat lady's portrait. I'll have the elves get it ready." Magonagall was deffenetly thrown off her stride so I continued.
"Professor it's a long story but to make this short Dumbledore has caused me physical and emotional pain troughout my life. He has used blood ward on me and who knows what else for some unknown purpose. I told him after Snape tried to kidnap Hermione that I would fry Snape if he ever came back. Dumbledore not only got Snape off at the trial but brought him back to Hogwarts. I won't take any more manipulation, pain or whatever those two think up. All we wanted was to be left alone that is why I called myself Granger, Hermione always was a Granger."
"Well you definitely put on a show tonight and yes it is getting late. I will make an announcement in the morning that you two are married and are Lord and Lady Potter." Goodnight to both of you.
We did not see her open a desk drawer after we left and pour a glass full of scotch. Nor the shaking of her head after a healty sip of the scotch.
It took the Dailey Profit until the following day to lambast me for attacking the teachers. They also went after Hermione as a gold digger for the marriage. I was considering a visit and a fire at the Dailey Profit in the near future.
/Scene Break/
Dippy moved out trunks into the Gryffindor quarters which were quite nice, There were three doors leading off the common room. Opening the one on the right was an elegant bedroom. The middle door was the loo, oh and what a loo, the whole thing was in gold inlaid marble, gold fittings and the bath looked as a small swimming pool. Stained glass windows covered the far wall, it was sure to let in the morning light in cascading colors. But the door on the left was not only an eye opener but left us in awe. Not only was there a huge four poster bed with Gryffindor colors on the hangings, sheets and a feather filled duvets, the carpet looked like you could loose your feet in it, the sliding windows covered the whole wall showing the grounds and the forbidden forest and allowed access to the balcony. The wood panel walls of exquisite woods helped to conceal a walk in closet. The desk was of roller type with gold handles.
"Think we can get by in here?" Hermione asked.
"With all the books lying around here I think you can manage." That got me a slap to the arm.
The morning brought breakfast but first I awoke hard as a rock, a bladder ready to burst, and Hermione playing around. "Dear if it wasn't for my bladder you my dear would be in big trouble from a Horney husband."
She just said, "We'll see."
The shower was interesting.
"So my love where or what are we up to today?"
"Paws you were to take me to dinner and a movie and you didn't. So today you take me shopping in Hogsmeade Village."
While I wished to scream no, never, over my dead body, it was Foxy and well I did love her. So no verbal complaints and off on a shopping tour.
She drags me down the main street past 'Dervish and Banges' outlet and finally to an old Apothecary. Then she drags me all the way back up the street to 'The Three Broomsticks' for lunch. A vile of potions is pushed in my face and told to drink it or my day was going to be ruined. "Yes dear!"
After a nice lunch Foxy drags me to 'Gladrags' for a few items I am not allowed to see, then we end up further down the street at 'The Magic Neep" where she buy various kinds of fruits. The day is done and we are going to grab a carriage back to Hogwarts.
This is a Hogsmeade weekend and that means that while we were done, ninety percent of the students were still in Hogsmeade enjoying themselves. That came to an abrupt halt. Deatheaters came in on the street at Madam Puddifoot's, The Three Broomstick, Zonko's, just about everywhere on the main street.
Now let it be known that I am not a super hero, neither is Hermione. What to do?
~"Foxy, flash to 'The Shrieking Shack'!"
We then made a quick plan which was insane, two against a hundred. We could not leave all those students to the slaughtering Deatheaters.
So it began, Paw's with Foxy on his back charged to "The Three Broomsticks" and at the mind command "Flash" two Sun Phoenix flew into a dozen Deatheaters causing flames, incineration and death. It is hard to hit flashing Phoenixes although the Deatheaters tried.
~"Shack!" brought two Phoenix to 'The Shrieking Shack' where Paws with Foxy on his back reappeared and charged down the side alley by HoneyDukes where again…
~"Flash." And Deatheaters fell or burned as if falling into the sun.
~"Flash" and Paws and Foxy charged to Madam Puddifoot's and ….
~"Flash."
POPs were heard all along the main street as Aurors from the Ministry appeared and saw a sight that many would not forget for a long time. A huge black panther was racing away from the main street with a brown fox on its back, the fox's bushy tail high in the air, a sudden blinding light and they were gone. When they turned to the street they saw burnt crisp flesh that use to be humans some of which could be called still alive. The smell was breathtaking and stomachs revolted. The Aurors attempted to take statements but while the witnesses were saying about the same thing how could they believe two blinding birds caused all this, brought to the fight by a panther and a fox.
There were consequences though, it was not energy consuming to just flame somewhere but when you turned on the sun part it ate some real energy. The energy came from us so we were quite tired for the day and quite hungry.
Ten students were killed, more were injured by the Deatheaters. Classes were canceled for the week and parents were allowed in to Hogwarts to talk to their children. Hermione and I also had to have long talks as we were the ones to take all those Deatheater lives. The only consolation was that we stopped those that would again rape and kill if they were left alone.
/Scene Break/
Mourning was still going on at the end of the week and Monday classes would resume. Ron Weasley was well known for his mouth both empty and full. When full, if that was an option, he continued to stuff more in and talk. The result was bits of flying food when he was eating. Eating is of course a term not used when using ones hands to eat soup. When not eating he was a pureblood supremacist like Draco but supposedly on the light side. However that did not stop the idiot from having the so called foot in mouth disease. You could not imagine, alot of times, that that could be coming out of that end of a human.
Draco was the dark side supremacist but with eating etiquette. His mouth however was never introduced to his brain which also caused stupid thing to be said or sneered.
So here it was Friday and Draco and Ron decided to run their diarrhea mouths to their detriment. Ron basically stated that is was great that the Slytherin was killed last week. A Slytherin's girl who was the sister of a girl that had died took umbridge. She took out her wand and sent off a rather interesting cutting curse "Sectumsempra" which cause quit a bit of grief to Ron who was also being stunned by Neville at the same time. Draco was mouthing off about the same time but as he went for his wand several people responded from different tables. Well this was Hogwarts and no one ever got training on accuracy of their spells. So whether the spell was justified or not, many missed there intended targets. The so called innocents that got hit had friends that retaliated; the end result was a war between houses and caused many downed students.
What was funny was at that moment the Great Doors of the Great Hall opened to revile the Great Dumbledore in his Great return to Hogwarts only to fine not only mass fighting but having to duck many stray spells. Well there was a couple that were intentionally sent at the jerk. Foxy and I were comfortably sitting and enjoying the mayhem behind a ward I found in the Potter Grimore.
/Scene Break/
You will have to tell me how that miserable jerk persuaded everyone to reinstate him at Hogwarts but somehow Dumbledork did. Of course within the day there was the meeting of me and him, Snape, McGonagall and Hermione and there must have been a couple people more but the meeting was still dumb. The senile old fool still had to try and manipulate and convince me that my entire life evolved around being his follower, as he was all knowledgeable and was infallible.
We made it another two weeks of classes without any trouble but we did not realize that the Great magnificent ass had been busy while he was gone. We would learn in a few days what the conniving old fool had been up too.
/Scene Break/
Bank Manager's Office Gringotts:
"I don't care if you tear down half of the building, I want to know immediately!" Ragnok yelled.
"It will be done Master Ragnok", said a terrified Goblin as he raced out of the office.
"You, Riphook! I want you to dispatch a port-key to Lord Potter and his wife. I want it delivered personally with a request that they come as soon as possible!"
"Yes Master Ragnok."
/Scene Break/
It was lucky that Foxy and I were in the Great Hall when the Goblin appeared and stated that Master Ragnok wished to see us immediately. It could have been interesting if the appearance was in the potion class. The look on Dumbledork's face was not a happy one. "Mr. Potter you are not allowed to leave school grounds without my permission."
"I've had about enough of you, you old goat. We respond to people we respect and trust." Hermione grasped the port-key and off we went.
The rumor mill had not yet started. There was quiet in the hall as all the students starred at the Headmaster. No one ever sees Ragnok, yet Harry Potter gets a personal port-key, personally delivered to see the Bank Manager. Not to mention Harry stating that he didn't respect or trust the leader of the light?
Professor McGonagall still had her hand over her mouth and was starring at Dumbledore. She like the hall was awaiting a reaction. Dumdum just got up and left the hall without a word. Then the whispering started and a short time later owls departed Hogwarts in flocks.
