Lovelies! I'm back! Did y'all miss me? It was longer than I estimated and for that I is chapter three. 3
Harry's Revenge
The day had finally arrived! Harry was nearly twitching with anticipation as he walked down the corridors to the Great Hall for breakfast. The night before he hardly got more than a few hours sleep. He looked at mione who was walking next to him and grinned mischievously. Mione looked at him and shook her head helplessly. She felt a little twinge in her heart when she saw the utter happiness on his face; after the big reveal three days ago it felt good to see a smile on harry's face.
The two entered the great hall and enacted the first part of their plan. Instead of walking over to their house's boisterous table the duo calmly walked over to the Slytherin table where Draco was already seated enjoying his breakfast. Harry and Hermione took the empty seats next to the blond and began to pile their plates.
"Harry?!"Two voices hollered and the Great Hall went silent to watch the ensuing drama play out. The boy in question raised his head and looked at the furious ginger siblings innocently fighting back a smirk.
"Ronald? Genevra?" Ron's ears turned red clashing with his garish hair and he sputtered. Someone in the watching crowd snickered but quickly quieted when Ginny turned. Her glare searched the surrounding students but no one moved a muscle not wanting to gain first hand experience of her bat-boogey hex. The two turned back to the Slytherin table and glared at Harry.
" Harry, what the bloody hell are you doing at the Snake's table?" Ronald growled lowly but it was still heard by the entire hall's occupants. Eyes turned to their savior and all were asking the same question.
" Because the snakes' are my real friends. " Harry replied simply and watched with mischievous glee when the sibling pair spluttered. The upcoming argument was postponed as a loud screech echoed through the Hall. All eyes tracked the flying avian with it's vibrant feathers as it landed gracefully on the Headmaster's podium dropping the red envelope. The Howler in Fawkes mouth awoke and the furious voices of Bill and Charlie assaulted everyone's ears.
"Traitors! Vile despicable weasels!" Harry stared straight at the two weasley siblings and ignored the shuffling students.
" Is this how you treat someone who saved your miserable ungrateful lives?! Harry has given everything for our world and our family and this is his thanks ; greed and manipulation ?! What is role in this war? That was a rhetorical question Ronald!-" Ron who had opened his mouth to answer snapped his jaw shut.
He is not your shield for you to hide behind watching as he takes every curse meant for each of you! You disgust me! You two, Dumbledore and the rest of you cowardly lions are shameful impostors unworthy of the Gryffindor crest!"
"Ronald. Genevera. We are ashamed to call you family and from this moment on you are no longer considered our Brother or sister."
" I William Weasley and I Charles Weasley, do here and now reject the bond of siblings and cast away Ronald Billius Weasley and Genervra Molly Weasley. As they have cast away humility ,compassion, and friendship in exchange for greed, fear, and deception; so shall we cast them aside."
There was a pause as if the two needed to gather strength before completing their vow. Harry stared in shock along with everyone else. He had no clue what the eldest two weasely brothers were planning to do. They had kept to themselves since the meeting a few nights ago; not really contributing to the plan though neither were they negating it. Harry's eyes started to water. He was finally beginning to see that he was apart of a family. He was loved.
Bill's voice came through strong and unyielding. "So shall it be."
Charlie's deep voice was equally stern and serious as he echoed. " So shall it be." A flash of blue and silver magic washed through the hall and the eldest weasley brothers quieted.
It became so silent you could hear the shutter of Colin Creevey's camera as it captured the dumbfounded expressions on the twos faces. Harry stifled a giggle and leaned into mione's side and waited for the rest of the show. The Howler still hovered in the air and the last voice to ring through the hall hardly surprised anyone. Hermione granger's voice was soft but firm as she began to berate the glaring headmaster.
"Albus Percival Wulfiric Brian Dumbledore! You absolutely disgust me. You who was tasked with keeping all students safe from any harm ; and even in that you have failed twice. You constantly placed Harry in situations with barely enough information to survive. We wouldn't be fighting this war if you would keep your meddlesome hands and manipulations to yourself. The coming days are going to be hell for you and I can't wait to watch you hang yourselves."
Harry now sniffled and cuddled closer into mione's side. He was tired and the excitement was quickly catching up with him. Movement from his right caught his attention and he looked up in time to see Ginny raising her wand and aiming at him. Hatred clouded her eyes and she opened her mouth intent on casting an unforgivable." Cru-." Instead of flinching, Harry began to chuckle humorlessly.
Ginny let out a gasping scream as her curse rebounded back to her. Mione let out a small giggle and Draco smirked. Ron who tried come to the rescue of his sister started to scream shrilly. He was surrounded by all types of spiders. Ranging from non poisonous to venomous and the spiders were in many different sizes and colors. Ron continued to holler and tried to swat at the spiders resulting in him being bitten repeatedly. His face swelled and all watched as he went from pale to a sickly green hue. Ron whined pitifully and whimpered as tried desperately to escape the spiders. NO one saw what could be harming him and figured he must've cracked. The Gryffindors' watched in horror as two of their own were urgently rushed to the hospital and were suddenly apprehensive of their own fates.
Harry laughed quietly and stood from his seat and spoke but the voice wasn't his. It was ancient and powerful.
" As for the house of Gryffindor, I Hogwarts, declare you undeserving of the crest you wear upon your chests so proudly." The proud rearing lion of Gryffindor disappeared from the cowering students and a few students shrieked as Hogwarts's magic raked over them.
" From this day on you are to be called the house of Vermin, for your action against my heir are truly atrocious and you are to carry the crest of a sniveling rat. For that is the character your actions I have declared, it shall be done." The Vermin crest was placed on every traitorous student. Gone were the obnoxious gold and red banner and tablecloth and in their place laid dull brown and grey replacements baring a sniveling rat.
Slytherin began to laugh raucously at the misfortune of their long time rivals even if it did come at the hands of Harry Potter.
As he came back to himself Harry felt a wash of warm loving magic caress his face and he smiled. With nothing left to say and one last glance around the still silent hall, Harry left. Hermione and Draco along with the rest of Harry's band of protectors stood and walked out quickly catching up with the shivering boy. Hermione wrapped her arms around Harry and squeezed him close. She understood that he wasn't ready to talk about it yet so she came up with the idea of distracting him.
" Harry, let's go to Honeydukes' and get some chocolate frogs." Her voice was a near whisper but Harry heard and nodded. With a pout and wide eyes,Harry asked " Then we can go get butterbeer?"
Hermione scowled and shot a quick hex at a smirking Draco and grinned smugly at his yelp of pain. She looked back at Harry and sighed. She really couldn't deny him anything with that pout on his face. She nodded and smiled when he threw his hands in the air.
" Hogsmede here we come!" Harry yelled happily. Gred and Forge shook their heads and tapped on Harry's nose.
" Our little Harryikins."
" Is so adorable!"
With heartfelt agreement by the others, much to Harry's chagrin, the group walked the trail to the town outside Hogwarts and enjoyed the rest of their day blissfully unaware of the malicious plans now being set into motion. Nor did they notice the two shadows they had acquired when they left the hall.
Severus and Lucius followed the petite boy and his friends all the way to the small wizarding town and watched over them so that no harm came to made sure to keep their distance so that they remained undiscovered. Severus smiled as he watched Harry shove Draco into a pile of leaves and heard the blond's mock angry reply. He sighed and turned to his mate. " Will Harry ever forgive us Luc?" Lucius sighed and gathered his mate close and whispered quietly. " We but only hope, my Sev.."
