I hope you have fun with this chapter.

(BSC 1) C12 Lucius en Molly.

"Okay listen all of you" Oliver Wood cried out. "First we will see what these two first years, can do on a broom. I've heard that they would be good chasers, but I would like to see that for myself". Bella and Harry did not know what to make of Oliver Wood. What they did know was that he was extremely passionate about Quidditch. "Fred, George, I want you to fly across the field. And then we can see if these first years are able to tap you on the back in flight".

Easier said than done, Harry and Bella received a broom each and had to go straight after Fred and George. It took a minute for Harry to tapped both of these guys on there backs. For Bella it took a little longer but she tapped them as well. "Not bad, Potter, not bad at all, but can you catch", Oliver asked. Harry shrugged his shoulders and just looked at Oliver. So the next thing he had to do was catch tennis balls. Oliver simply hit them off with a baseball bat, and Harry had to catch them before they hit the ground. He only missed the first ball. Katie, who was the seeker of the team, had to go head to head with Harry. Katie had only captured two balls, while Harry had eight balls in his hands. Every ball that Oliver hit across the field appeared to be making him happier. From his pocket he took a little gold ball, this ball unfurled its wings and flew away. He was telling Harry that it was the Golden Snitch. And that he had to capture it, before Katie had caught it. Twenty minutes later, Harry was holding the Golden Snitch up in the air.

In the stands there was a little applause. Harry and Bella saw Hermione, Daphne, Susan and Neville sitting in the stands. Katie flew to Harry and patted him on the shoulder. "Great job Potter, I did not even see the snitch." She told him. Oliver asked if he wanted to be their new seeker. He even said that he would be better than Bill Weasley. Harry had no idea who Bill Weasley was. But he would find that out later when Fred and George told it all to him. And Katie would again be a chaser, and chaser was something that she liked far better than seeker.

Bella was sitting at the sideline watching Harry go after the winged little ball. Katie did not even saw the ball. Bella was clapping just as hard as the others when Harry held up the Golden Ball. And now it was time for Bella to show what she could do. According to Oliver she would be a perfect chaser, little fast and agile. First she had to toss a big red ball around, it was called the Quaffle. All of this while she was flying in circles, together with Angelina and Katie. Fifteen minutes later They were throwing the Quaffle at each other in all kinds of angles. Now she had to toss the Quaffle through the rings, whereas' Oliver tried to hold it out of the rings. After all, he was the keeper of the team. Half an hour later, Fred, George and Harry would try to steal the Quaffle from them.

After an hour or two it seemed as if they had always played together. Only Harry was fast enough to make it a bit hard for the chasers. Bella was a natural at the game and she therefore scored twenty times more than Katie and Angelina together. She threw the Quaffle in every impossible way to the other players. And they were always caught by the others. Finally Fred and George were allowed to show their talents as Beater. They were allowed to hit Bella and Harry with Bludgers, and the only thing that Bella and Harry had to do was to avoid it.

It was half past eight and everyone had to go to breakfast. The reason why it was so early was to keep Bella and Harry secret from the rest of the school, a plan which of course would never succeed. The moment they left the Quidditch stadium, they came across professor McGonagall. She congratulated Harry and Bella and told them that she had been watching the entire training. She assumed that Harry was now a seeker instead of a chaser, something she would have done herself. Yes she was very pleased with what she had seen on the Quidditch pitch. Oliver told her that Bella and Harry still needed different brooms, the school brooms were just not good enough for the game.

Harry told him that he had enough money in a special account that his parents had put aside for him, that was something he had learned from Hagrid. So he could pay for his own broom, but Bella did not have the money for a new broom. Something that Harry already knew, so before she could say anything Harry promised her that he would buy her a new broom. With a cry of happiness Bella flew herself around his neck. He immediately asked if professor McGonagall would go with him to buy a new broomstick, because it was not allowed for first year to do it on their own. Actually it was not permitted for first year students to have a broomstick at all. Professor McGonagall told him that she had to go and think about it. Maybe they could do it in two weeks. That was if she got permission from Dumbledore to do it. It was something that she hoped she would be allowed to do. The entire team walked to their common room; there they would take a shower that they were craving for. At nine the whole team were at the breakfast table, along with all their other friends.

Professor McGonagall had seen them leave the Quidditch pitch. Again she thought back to the little red book, Harry was very different here than at home. And yet there was a lot that was the same. Harry had many friends but he only walked in the middle of them. It was as if he had built a protection wall of friends around him. He also talked a lot with his friends. But was very quiet when an adult asked him something. It seemed as if he was afraid to answer. It was these things that raised more and more questions for professor McGonagall. She kept thinking about it until she was sitting at the breakfast table, and looked at the group. What she saw raised more questions, but they were about something else.

Hermione had taken a book from the library about Quidditch and was now talking about it with Oliver Wood. Daphne had the broom from Fred in her hands and was treating it with a cleaning kit. She could even repair the twigs that were bent. Neville sat next to her and helped her with the polishing of the broom handle. When they were finished, Angelina gave her broom to Neville and Katie gave her broom to Daphne, which were immediately repaired and polished. Oliver looked at the whole ritual, the first years were very thorough with the cleaning and restoration of the brooms. He was also very impressed with Hermione, she had remembered everything she had read in the book, and in that way she could think up the best strategy. She pointed Oliver on the strengths of each team member, but also their weaknesses. She had told him that she had done it all together with Susan. So it was shortly thereafter that Oliver stood up and ran to Professor McGonagall.

Together with Professor McGonagall he came walking back to the table, Oliver had a wide grin on his face and was obviously happy about something. "Miss Granger is it true that you and Susan know the strong points and weak points of each team member" was the question Professor McGonagall asked Hermione. Hermione immediately told the good qualities of each player to Professor McGonagall, but also where they could improve themselves. "I see that Oliver was right about that, would you consider being the coach of the Gryffindor Quidditch team together with Susan." Hermione looked at Susan and together they nodded violently and happy.

Next professor McGonagall held the broom of Angelina Johnson in her hands. Miss Johnson, I would like you to test this broom outside, and you too Miss Bell". Was the next question that professor McGonagall asked both ladies? Ten minutes later, the two ladies were walking back inside. "And what do you think about the behavior of your brooms, now that they have been polished and repaired". They've never flown as good as now, they are much smoother and more agile than before was their joint response.

Professor McGonagall looked at them approvingly and was now completely focused on Neville and Daphne. "What would you both think, if I would ask you to take care of the maintenance of the brooms and the robes of the team? And also for the entire team during the games, such as giving them water and other things".

Neville now glanced at Daphne. "Professor I speak for, Neville and myself when I say. We would be honored to be the caregivers for the Gryffindor team and their equipment.

The sheer sincerity with which Daphne was telling it did melt the heart of the otherwise so stern professor McGonagall. "Then you are all a part of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and you are also expected to attend every practice". She told them and walked away with a rare smile. All first year were immediately congratulated and taken in a few hugs, only Harry tried to escape those hugs. And when he got one he froze immediately, something that Angelina and Katie immediately noticed. Daphne sighs slightly when Harry's arms went around her, but she did not show it. And Harry did it all just to escape the other, hugs and that was something that was only seen by Bella, and she was the only one to see the fear in his eyes.

It was a delicious breakfast that they had after all the events from that morning. Daphne was sitting along with Bella, creating ideas about their team robes. They all thought that now they were part of the Quidditch team, they therefore were entitled to a team outfit, something that everyone agreed on. Back in the great hall of the big doors opened and there was a man with long blond hair who came walking in. Behind him was a small figure. Harry looked at the little figure, with his elbow he touched Bella and pointed at the little figure. Bella stared at the creature in admiration as did Harry. That creature saw them sitting and went with the same admiration to Bella and Harry.

"Hello," Harry said.

"Hi," Bella said. The eyes of the creature grew wide when he saw the scar on Harry's forehead.

"Come sit down with us," said Harry.

The eyes of the little creature immediately filled themselves with tears after those words from Harry. "You want Dobby to sit with you as an equal" asked the creature between sobs.

"Yes, why would we not want you to sit with us as an equal" Harry asked confused. Little Dobby just looked at him with admiration and did not know what to say.

"DOBBY COME HERE NOW."

Bella looked at the man with the blond hair, something inside her told her that she knew him, but not from what. She saw how the scared little creature walked toward that man. Harry instantly knew it was wrong, that little creature was being tortured by that man, you could see it all in the attitude of that little creature. Unfortunately Harry Also knew he could do nothing about it. In the middle of the great hall, they could hear the man yelling at Dumbledore. "I insist that you place Draco back into Slytherin, that's the house where he's supposed to be. Otherwise I will take him from this school or worse. I can assure you that next year will be very different, for anyone who goes to this school". The tirade man of the went on for about twenty five minutes more.

Everyone knew it was about Draco Malfoy. Draco was the boy with the blond hair who was placed in Hufflepuff. He was sitting very secluded at the end of the house table. For Dumbledore it was a different story. He desperately, wanted to put Draco into Slytherin more than anything. But Dumbledore knew that the sorting hat knew a lot about him. More than that he wanted the sorting hat to know. He did not really know what he could do about it. Lucius saw that he gained nothing with Albus Dumbledore and went over to stand with Severus Snape. "Severus, this is your godson, you must take him in your house or should I ask the board to do it".

Severus looked at him doubtfully, then he looked straight at Dumbledore. There was an obvious hatred in his eyes. "Lucius, I would turn to the board for this. I think you have better luck with it, the old fool will do nothing for you," Again he cast a hatred glance to Dumbledore

Dumbledore was deep in thought, just staring into space. He did not know what to do about it, if he had his way Draco would have been in Slytherin, but the sorting hat thought otherwise. Again the doors of the Great Hall opened. This time it was a somewhat plump woman that walked into the great hall. She had a bunch of bright red hair and an intense look in her eyes. Behind her she was pulling a little girl along, painfully at the arm. Harry immediately thought back to the times he was pulled along, at his arm that way. When the woman saw Dumbledore sitting in the middle of the staff table, she let go of the girl and pointed a finger straight at Dumbledore.

The girl was stroking her aching arm and looked around her, a little fear in her eyes. "Come sit down here". The girl looked around and looked into the two greenest eyes she had ever seen. Bella took her hand and pulled her on the bench between her and Harry.

Fred and George came from the rear of the table and sat between Hermione and Neville. "That's our sister Bella" they said. "Ginny these nice people are, Bella Smith and Harry Potter." The shy girl looked up. First she looked at Bella and subsequently to Harry. Ginny was not sure what to do now, on her left was the boy who lived, the boy she dreamed about at night.

Hermione gave her a glass of pumpkin juice and looked at her kindly. "Here, Ginny, drink this, I'm Hermione by the way". With an angry look she looked at Fred and George. The twins swallowed due to that look and quickly Introduced Neville, Susan and Daphne. Ginny looked at the others, still a little shy but quietly drank her pumpkin juice. While she was still rubbing her aching arm with one and.

Harry turned and looked where her mother had gone. Harry saw her mother standing by Dumbledore. He sat up straight because he could hear every word she said to Dumbledore. "Dumbledore we had an arrangement" she shouted. You know exactly what you promised me, and I assume that I can hold you to your promise. You know what the deal was with my Ron and Ginny".

Ginny sat next to Harry and looked at him in horror. "What's Ginny?" Bella Asked from behind her. Now Ginny looked at Bella.

"I'm not going to do it" she told Bella slowly.

"You will not do what," Bella asked again. Ginny was really shy now and could not bring another word out of her mouth. Bella tried it one more time, but it did not help. When she saw the beginning of small tears starting to come into the corners of the eyes of Ginny. She immediately stopped the questions she was asking. "It's good Ginny you do not have to tell us, if you do not want to. We will be your friends when you are here at school, we will be your friends in which ever house you will be in at that time". Ginny looked grateful to Bella.

Harry brought his attention back to the head table. There, at the head table the woman with the red hair was still shouting at Dumbledore. In fact Harry did not like it at all that she was doing that. It was like the man before her. Who was still standing with Severus Snape. It was not the shouting that they did against Dumbledore, that was something he actually found quite nice. No, it was the way this man treated that little creature, and how that woman had treated Ginny. Harry could not stand it, the way she was pulling Ginny behind her like a rag doll. Everyone in the great hall had seen it, but nobody said anything about it. It seemed that Dumbledore had managed to get her to calm down a little bit. Harry looked further down the head table. Every teacher was watching intently at Dumbledore. Only professor McGonagall was simply eating her breakfast. He thought he even saw a little smile around her mouth.

The angry woman came walking back and wanted to grab Ginny's arm again. Ginny looked rather anxious and did not know what was going to happen. The woman brought her hand to Ginny's arm and wanted to grab it. And just before she grab the arm of Ginny, it was Harry who grabbed the woman's arm. "Do you think it's normal that you are hurting your daughter in that way," Harry asked her quietly.

The woman looked at him angrily, and that was the moment she saw his scar. "Harry" she squeaked. With a look from what to do she softly took the hand from Ginny. "Come along sweetheart" she said a little hesitant.

Harry, however, had still not released the other arm of the woman. "I asked you a question, ma'am" Harry, Said with a penetrating voice. I'm sorry ma'am, but I would like to know whether you think it's normal, to do that. Do you know that you were just now hurting the arm of Ginny again". Harry asked her again, but was still not releasing her other arm.

"Listen good you spoiled brat. I decide myself whether I or".

"MOLLY" the voice of Professor McGonagall echoed through the hall. This she shouted before Molly could finish her sentence. "I would like you to answer that question, and that you treated Mr. Potter with the respect he deserved and not with, spoiled brat, you know nothing about Mr. Potter".

Molly looked from Professor McGonagall to Harry. Then she looked from Harry to Ginny and saw that Ginny was a bit anxious. And only then it dawned at her what she had done. "Oooo great Merlin" she said. "You're right, Harry. I think I was too angry and not thinking about what I've done, I'm really sorry Ginny "Molly said.

But Harry could see that she did not really mean it, it was a look he always saw from his aunt. Harry turned and continued eating. Ginny stood up and whispered thank you Harry. With a small smile, Harry said that it was good. Molly did not know what had happened to her and walked a little dazed, with Ginny at her hand out of the great hall.

Fred and George looked at Harry with wide eyes but also with awe. No one had ever taken a stand against their mother that way. Ron, who was sitting at the Ravenclaw table, was making his way to Harry, fire and hatred in his eyes. "Where do you think you get the nerve to do that against my mother, how would you like it if I would do that to your mother you stupid rotten prick".

Harry turned himself around angry. "I would love it if you would do that RON" Harry shouted back at him.

That was the last answer that Ron had expected. One moment he was beaten out for words. "And why would you like that POTTER" Ron yelled back at him.

Almost no one could hear what Harry said at the time. The only ones who heard what he said were Bella, Daphne, Fred and George. "Then at least I would know that I still had a mother" was what he said, while the tears were flowing down his cheeks.

Professor McGonagall had already turned away. She had heard what Ron had said and wanted to say something to Ron, about that. But what happened next was way too fast for her. Bella and Daphne wrapped their arms around Harry and held him in their arms while he was sobbing. Fred and George literally jumped over the table and each grabbed Ron by one of his arms with an iron grip. And then they immediately dragged him out of the great hall. Meanwhile they were shouting things and curses into the ears of Ron. George shouted a little angry, if Professor Flitwick wanted to come along. Not sure what it meant but still Professor Flitwick followed the twins out of the great hall. Harry had now become a little calmer in the arms of Bella and Daphne.

Professor McGonagall looked shocked at the moment and then asked. "Mr. Potter can you tell me why you where talking to Mrs. Weasley in that way".

"Ginny was kind to us, so that's something that you also should do yourself, when it is done to you" Harry told her, with the tear stains on his cheeks still visible.

Professor McGonagall gave a small smile when she realized what Harry meant. "You are right Mr. Potter, but I meant Mrs. Weasley, her mother." Professor McGonagall sank back down to one knee. Now she was sitting at the same height as Harry. "Well why was that Mr. Potter" she asked again.

Harry looked her straight in the eyes and said in a whisper. "As long as I can remember, I get beaten and humiliated by my family who does not like me. I know exactly how bad it is. And Ginny does not deserve such a treatment. Nobody deserves that treatment. Even though it's only once in a while".

The eyes of Professor McGonagall widened by his words. Did Harry just tell her what she thought he told her. "But Mr. Potter, you also do not deserve such a treatment".

Harry shrugged his shoulders and turned back to his food. "It is as it is, I think, a freak as I will always have it that way," he whispered. Bella had grabbed his arm and rubbed a hand over his back. Daphne did the same thing on the other side, even though she did not know what Harry meant by those words.

A bewildered professor McGonagall walked back to the head table. She sat down at her place and put her head onto her arms. Bella looked up and softly said to Harry and Daphne. "I think Auntie Mini is crying."

Harry looked up quickly and walked with Daphne's hand in his hand behind Bella to the head table. Bella Walked around the table and stood at the side of professor McGonagall.

"Auntie Mini are you okay" Asked Bella. Professor McGonagall felt the small hand of Bella up on her shoulder. McGonagall looked at Bella, and Bella could see that she had been crying.

"Why does Harry thinks that he earned such a treatment from his family" she asked Bella.

"I think he does not care for it anymore, for him it is just normal, it's his life, it always has been that way. I also, think that he never expect it to be any different, and it will always be that way for him. He has no hope for anything better, and I wished that I could give him hope for something better" Bella Said to her auntie Mini.

Now professor McGonagall felt another hand go around her shoulder. She looked to the other side and saw Harry standing there. "I'm sorry that I have made you cry professor, it was not my intention to do that to you. You may give me a punishment because I've been a bad boy" Harry said to professor McGonagall.

"Oooo Harry you've done nothing wrong, and there will be no punishment for you. Go play with your friends, and enjoy your Saturday". She looked at Bella. "He really is that way, I understand it now" Minerva said and Bella nodded.
"Yes, Auntie Mini he really is that way" and Bella followed her friends outside.

Professor McGonagall saw Fred and George come into the main hall and quickly threw a glance at the house points. She saw that Gryffindor had risen fifty points. But that Ravenclaw had dropped fifty points. She waved to Fred and George that they had to come to her. And immediately asked them what had happened. Fred told what Ron had said to Harry. And also what Harry had replied back to Ron that was the thing that Minerva had not heard. When she heard what Harry had said, she almost started to cry again. And they had repeated to McGonagall that they felt that they had to intervene. But they had no regrets about that.

Especially the way, by which they have done so. Professor McGonagall said that they had done well and gave them another fifty house points. This because they had, called in the head of Ravenclaw house. She also asked whether they had apologized to professor Flitwick about how they did it. George told her that Professor Flitwick had waved it away. He thought it was a reasonable action according to the circumstances. That is why she had given them fifty points. Professor McGonagall sent the boys back to their common room. And again there was a lot she had to think about.
