Chapter six

'So this is what you meant before,' Susie chuckled, 'Handy but where in the name of merlin did you get this?'

'Well I got it from Fred and George Weasley, but,' Harry turned the parchment over, 'those four names were the ones that invented the map. Moony was Remus Lupin, Wormtail was Pettigrew, Padfoot was my godfather Sirius Black and Prongs was my father, James Potter. Filch confiscated it when they were students, but Fred found it when they were sent to his office one day. They gave it to me in my third year and it has come in handy. Now let's see where this kid is.'

Harry, Susie and Minerva studied the map, the Slytherin rooms first, but he wasn't there which wasn't surprising. They found him in a deserted classroom on the fifth floor.

'Okay, so we talk to him, search his things then it's up to you Minerva.'

'Alright, let's go.' Minerva watched as Harry folded his map then stuck it in his pocket.

'Why did you allow Harry to keep that map?' Susie grinned.

'I never found out about that map until after the battle. As a lot of people know, Harry stayed here for a few months, helping with repairs. But we found a few death eaters still hiding here, so Harry showed me the map and we found another seven after that.'

'Along with people that died, so it does come in handy, but since I wasn't coming back as a student, Minerva let me keep it as it did belong to my father.'

'Before we go, the other item given to the younger brother, if you had the stone and wand, do you have the cloak?'

'Yep, my cloak is that very cloak.'

'Blimey Harry, all these years everyone just believed it was a story, but it's true.'

'Yeah, it's true and those other two items are dangerous. Anyway, let's go speak with a Slytherin.'

The three of them left the office and headed to the fifth floor. They stepped into the class room and saw the boy look up in surprise.

'Now Mr. Saxon, these two aurors are going to search you and question you, then search you're things before we discuss you're future.'

'Why, I haven't done anything wrong?'

Harry never talked, just waved his wand over the boy and a shadow of the hand of glory floated about his head before vanishing.

'You were saying,' Susie said putting on her serious auror voice.

'Fine, it was mine, well my father's.'

'That is why we are going to search your things Mr. Saxon. But did you know I happen to be friends with the centaurs, I spoke to the head centaur today, Magorian. Do I need to go on?'

The boy sneered at Harry but ended up shuddering at the look he received from the saviour.

'Fine, I heard about what you did, I went to find the stone.'

'And the reason you wanted to find the stone?'

'To bring back the dark lord, to make my parents happy. I don't give a shit about him, as far as I'm concerned you both destroyed my life, but my parents just can't live without him.'

'Sounds like you don't want to be a death eater even if he was alive. But let me tell you something about that stone. Yes, it can resurrect the dead, but they are not of this world. They aren't real, they can't touch, they can't do magic and they can't stay here. It would drive their souls insane if they did. I couldn't give a shit if his soul, well what's left of it was insane as he was already crazy as far as I'm concerned. What I do care about is making sure our world never goes through another war. So now it's up to you on how you cooperate. Do you have any other dark objects with you?'

'A couple of small things that belonged to my father, I wasn't going to use them, I just wanted to keep some of his things with me and away from him. He's depressed, he doesn't do anything, so I'm worried he will use them on mum or himself.'

'Let's go to your room then Mr. Saxon and you can show the aurors exactly what you have, then we'll discuss what is going to happen to you.'

'Since I have cooperated, I don't want to be expelled, I want to stay.'

'We'll discuss that soon, let's go,' Minerva pointed to the door, then the four of them all headed to the Slytherin rooms. The common room fell silent with a lot of the older Slytherin's glaring at Harry, but Harry, Susie, Minerva or Dalbert never took any notice, just walked up the stairs to the dorm room and over to one bed.

'Let me,' Harry waved his wand and then went over to the small cupboard, pulled out a small bag, then looked inside, then waved his wand over it again, 'These are the only dark objects in the room, so you were telling the truth.'

'Yeah, I was, so what happens now?'

'That is up to the headmistress, if you had used these items, then it would be up to us. But I can tell they haven't been used in a long time, four years at least.'

'Yeah,' the boy sighed.

'First thing after breakfast, come to my office and we'll discuss your detentions Mr. Saxon. But a warning now, once more and you will be gone from this school.'

'Yes Professor,' the boy nodded.

'We'll take these straight back to the office.' Susie said.

'If you really want to have a life Mr. Saxon, listen to Professor McGonagall or you might find yourself in Azkaban next time,' Harry, Susie and Minerva left the Slytherin room and went straight back to her office, 'I cast a silent revealing charm through the Slytherin rooms, there was nothing else.'

'Thank you, that makes me feel better. But I think most of the older Slytherin's only act like they want the return of the old ways. They well behaved, even get given points in their classes. There hasn't been any problems in the last three years.'

'I think for most it's just the way they were raised, they never had a choice, now they do. We'll go, but if you have any problems, you know you can get us here any time.'

'I know Harry and thank you. It does make me feel better knowing I can get the saviour to scare the students occasionally,' Minerva smirked making Susie laugh.

'Remember what you said Harry,' Susie chuckled.

'Yeah, I won't hex anyone for calling me that even if I still hate it. But you know what Minerva, if that name or even me can keep any of these kids turning out dark, then you can use me, we have to go though,' Harry hugged it, 'It was good to see you.'

'It was good to see you too Harry, don't let it be so long next time.'

'I'll try, come on Susie, we have paperwork to do.'

'Oh great, the only thing I hate about this job. Minerva, it was nice to see you,' Susie shook her hand then followed Harry into the fireplace.

The two aurors went to their office, Harry sealed the dark objects in the small vault that was in his boss' office, then sat at his desk to fill out his report, Susie did the same thing.

'Um, Harry,' Ginny said quietly from the door.

'Hi Gin, what's up?'

'I was getting worried, last night you never came home and you weren't home again tonight.'

'Sorry, we just got back from an assignment, now we have to finish up, so I'll be late again.'

'So it is just work then?'

'Yeah, what else would it be?'

'Alright, I suppose I was just concerned, but I thought Ron was your partner.'

'He is most time, but not always, but where we had to go, Ron couldn't, so Michael assigned Susie to go with me. That does happen Gin, we don't always work with the same person, it makes us too comfortable, so we will always have the odd day when we change partners. But I really need to get back to work, this is going to take a while.'

'Alright, I didn't mean to interrupt,' Ginny stared at Harry for a minute, then kissed him, 'I'll see you tomorrow night then.'

'Unless something comes up, I'll be home.'

'Okay, see you then, I love you.'

'I love you too Gin,' Harry gave her a smile then watched her leave before sitting back at his desk.

'She's really possessive of you if she's checking up on you.'

'She is a bit, I'm just lucky she didn't decide to hex first, she has a temper on her.'

'And you don't, you both seem so opposite to each other, do you see it working between you two?'

'We are different, in a lot of ways, but I don't think anyone can say whether a relationship will work or not. We have our fights, then talk things out, so we have a good chance. Now let's finish this or we will be here all night.'

'Good idea.' Susie watched Harry for a few more minutes and wondered if Harry and Ginny's relationship will work since they were so different, but then she thought it was none of her business. She went back to her work so she could get home as well and she realised how hungry she was, so she needed to eat before she could consider going to sleep. She sighed then got stuck back into her paperwork.
