Harry Potter and the Great Rebellion

"Guilty!" The assembled witches and wizards roared as Harry stared at them in horror, and even Albus Dumbledore had sided against him.

But why? Harry had seen Voldemort's return. He had bled and fought through to bring back Cedric's body.

He was frozen in shock.

Betrayal. Betrayed by society. It cut him to the bone and as the Auror approached to take Harry's wand he found himself smiling. He was relieved he hadn't brought said wand with him.

"You can't take it. I don't have it with me." Harry stated smugly.

He had entrusted his wand to Hermione.

"What?" The crowd roared in anger.

Fudge looked like he had been force fed a dementor's cloak and Harry couldn't help but chuckle.

"I didn't trust your society to give me a fair trial. You didn't bother even giving Black one in the first place, why not make a mockery out of justice here? By my life, I no longer consider myself a member of Magical England. I will not return to your world."

"YOUR WAND POTTER!" Fudge yelled.

Harry shook his head.

"You tried me as an adult, you can't snap an adult's wand unless of course you go through another court case. If you can prove that I violated the statute of Secrecy in that case then you could. But you'll need to arrange that trial at a later date." Harry replied smugly.

He was more than glad he'd read up before the trial. Fudge wasn't going to snap his wand that easily. It was also evident that the Ministry of Magic was corrupt to the core, and only Amelia Bones had an expression of horror embedded on her face at the decision.

"This will be the last day I remain in Wizarding England. You will never see me walk down the streets of Diagon alley as a citizen ever again. I renounce my citizenship to your pathetic, corrupt society."

Harry's tone was firm, cold and strong.

It was time for a change. At that Harry walked away, shoving the Auror off of him. Any demands of appearing in court would take time. Just as would an arrest warrant. Two things that he'd avoid entirely today.

Upon exiting the Ministry of Magic Harry's head cleared. He knew what he had to do. First: He needed skeeter and the Wireless Network.

First Harry walked to the Daily Prophet's office and leaned on the desk where a young secretary smiled down at him.

"I need Rita Skeeter to meet me in the Leaky Cauldron in an hour. Can you do that for me? Tell her... I have a story that will shake the entire world." Harry said firmly.

The woman shrugged before nodding.

"Why not? I'll have her there in half an hour if you like."

"That would be excellent. Secondly, can I get a crew for the Wizarding Wireless Network to meet me there?" He asked intently.

She blinked a bit bemusedly.

"Believe me, you and they won't regret it." Harry assured flashing his lightning bolt scar.

At that she straightened.

"They'll be there in half an hour." She assured.

Harry grinned a bit relieved before standing and heading to the Cauldron. Thirty minutes of boredom passed before six people entered, one holding a microphone, and another holding a bag with parchment, quills and more.

Rita Skeeter, Her cameraman, and the Wireless crew. Upon their entry Harry waved them to his table.

"Good Afternoon everyone." Harry greeted.

"You said you have news of importance?" They asked intently.

Harry nodded.

"How about a story that will rock the entire world?"

At that they quickly took seats.

"Where to begin? Ah yes, this would be the best place. Rita, I know you like to sensationalize articles but this won't need it in the least. Just stick to the truth and you'll be ruining a dozen reputations along the way. Including Albus Dumbledore's." Harry added firmly.

At this the group leaned forward. Anything that big was worth paying attention to.

"Now... This story begins back in nineteen eighty..." Harry outlined his past, pointing out oddities as he went, finally he came to the present where he revealed his expulsion and the weak offense against him.

"Can you see why I have trouble with the current society?" Harry asked and the group nodded a bit ashen faced.

"However, even though I've renounced my citizenship... Well I have friends here in England. I can't just abandon that. Therefore... There is only one option: To take down the Ministry of Magic." Harry stared at each of them intently.

At that the WWN broadcaster spoke in a hoarse voice.

"R-Rebellion Mr. Potter?"

Harry nodded in reply.

"That's right. The Ministry of Magic has betrayed the sacred trust placed on them by the people, executing the wrong people, imprisoning the innocent, blocking the truth, and refusing to believe that evil walks amongst us once more. Too many lives are at stake to ignore this. Therefore, I hereby declare war on the Ministry of Magic under the banner of the Great Rebellion. I furthermore declare war against the self appointed 'Lord Voldemort'; also known as the half-blood Tom Riddle. Too many lives are at stake to ignore these threats against liberty."

The six continued to gape as Harry spoke.

"I ask only that people seek out the truth for themselves. If you desire to join the Rebellion. I will be glad to have you stand beside me. If not I understand, do what you feel is right. But as for me... GIVE ME LIBERTY!" Harry stood at that.

"TOO MANY HAVE SUFFERED INJUSTICE UNDER THE CURRENT DICTATORSHIP! TOO MANY HAVE HAD THEIR LIVES CRIPPLED BY CRUEL AND INHUMANE LAWS! WHERE IS LIBERTY? WHERE IS FREEDOM? I'll tell you where. Crushed, crushed under the corruption of the Ministry, under the burdens of bribes and under the fear perpetuated by crooked bigots such as Lucius Malfoy. It's time to end the bigotry, the bribes, and the corruption. IF NO ONE WILL TAKE A STAND I WILL!" Harry clenched a fist at that.

His blood boiled, his entire being filled with Righteous anger.

"I will accept anyone that will stand beside me. Werewolves, Goblins, Giants, Humans, Centaurs, Vampires, anyone who desires liberty, anyone who desires equality. ALL OF US ARE EQUALS! Should this battle be won. Should we ensure the freedom and breaking down of corruption... We will see a change. Hogwarts will allow all races entry as long as each person, human or not reject the darkness."

Harry glanced at the group.

"This is my vow, my declaration of liberty. Of freedom! We will no longer allow the slavery of any man or woman. No matter their race, religion, origins or creed. We will stand as EQUALS." Harry then gave a slight nod.

"Thus my tale ends. Next time I enter the Ministry of Magic it will be beside like minded people, determined to find liberty." Harry vowed before heading out into muggle London. He knew Dumbledore would be outraged and determined to find him soon.

"HEDWIG! I NEED YOU!" Harry called.

Next he'd need to reclaim his wand from Hermione, and find a location to start his rebellion.

It's an interesting concept, although if I were to write a story out of it I probably will do a serious overhaul on this 'outline'.
