Quick Note - This is the combine chapters of the Next Day and the Next Day (Part Two).
Chapter Eleven: The Next Day.
(The Next Day at Hogwarts; After the Yule Ball)
Every student in Hogwarts got up late on boxing day, since they were sleeping in. They had went to bed at midnight after the Yule Ball had ended, much to the female's population frustration. They would yawn loudly and talked in hushed voices, not bothering to talk as a group since they were still sleepy.
But on the bright side, the students were glad that they had no classes, since they were sure that they won't be able to pay attention.
However, if the students had classes and walked into Esdeath's classroom, they would've seen a sight that would blow their minds. The sight of three certain people from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin sleeping together on a bed...with no clothes on.
(Susan's Prove)
Susan slowly opened her blue eyes as sunlight poured into the room and right on her face. "Ugh…" She groaned, raising one hand to shield her eyes from the light. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she sat up from a bed and looked around. She was in a room but didn't recognized it.
It was then Susan realized, when she got the sleep out of her body, that she was not in the Hufflepuff's Common Room.
"What happened last night?" Susan mused to herself, wondering how she gotten here. She didn't drink alcohol at all, otherwise she would've had a hangover headache. Looking around the room, she saw gruesome pictures of soldiers killing soldiers and swords, whips and axes in glass cabinets. It was like a torture room.
Susan widened her eyes when she realized where she was; she was in Professor's Esdeath's classroom.
'Why am I here?' Susan thought, not noticing the bed she was sitting on moved a bit. It was then she noticed the clothes on the floor. There were two dresses, a white shirt, black pants and a jacket. Confused, she got up from the bed, and was about to pick the clothes up when she suddenly froze when she heard someone groaned on the bed.
Susan slowly turned her head around and spotted a person with messy, black hair. With shaky hands, she pulled the blankets back, and saw the face of Harry Potter and surprisingly, Daphne Greengrass. They were cuddling each other, and they were naked, much to Susan's shock. Remembering the two dresses, she looked down and saw that she was naked.
Suddenly, memories of last night rushed into Susan's head, and her face turned very red with steam coming out of her ears. On one hand, she was happy that she was dating her boyfriend and her other friend, but she was shocked that they did that last night. They should've wait for a few years, but it was their hormones that made them do it.
Then Susan did the only thing she did: She screamed.
"KYAAAAAAA!" Susan screamed loudly, making Harry and Daphne opened their eyes and sat straight up from the bed.
"Who is screaming first thing in the morning?" Daphne grumbled, rubbing her eyes. Once getting the sleep out of her eyes, she looked around and spotted Susan, who was naked and looking at her with a shock expression.
There was a long silence for a moment before Daphne screamed too, also loudly as Susan's.
"Susan?! Why are you naked?!" Daphne shrieked, covering her body with the blankets.
"WHY I AM NAKED?! WHY ARE YOU NAKED?! DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM LAST NIGHT?!" Susan shrieked back, angry that Daphne hasn't figure it out yet.
Daphne frowned and tried to remember what happened last night. After a moment, her face turned red like Susan's, and steam was coming out of her ears. She turned her head slowly to look at Harry, who was still rubbing his eyes to get the sleepiness out of his eyes, before turning to look at Susan.
"S-s-so…we d-did t-t-that last n-n-night, huh?" Daphne stammered out, shock about last night. Like Susan, she was happy that she was dating her boyfriend, but shocked that they did that.
Susan nodded, not saying anything.
When Harry got the sleepiness out of his eyes, and put on his glasses, he was shocked to see Susan and Daphne in the room, naked for the world to see.
"Susan! Daphne! Why are you both naked?!" Harry exclaimed, turning his face the other way. He didn't remember what happened, but he was shocked to see two beautiful girls naked.
Susan walked over to the bed and sat next to Harry. "Honey, do you remember what happened last night?" She asked, making Harry shook his head. She sighed a bit, not happy a bit. "Why don't you calm down and try to remember?"
Harry calmed down and closed his eyes, doing what Susan instructed. Suddenly, memories rushed into his head, and his face turned red.
"Yep, we three are officially dating." Daphne stated, making Harry and Susan turned to look at her.
"Should we keep it a secret?" Harry asked, not liking the idea of everyone finding out that he was dating two girls. If Rita Skeeter or Susan's aunt or Daphne's parents found out about this, then he would be in trouble.
Susan and Daphne merely giggled at the fear expression on Harry's face, They had no doubt that he was thinking the reaction of their guardians, or in Susan's case, aunt.
"Don't worry, Harry. We'll back you up if our parents confront you about our relationship." Susan said, still giggling at Harry's face. Her giggling increased to laughter when she thought of her aunt.
Daphne, on the other hand, was holding her sides when she thought of her parents confronting Harry. Her Father was extremely strict, and cares about her. Her Mother can make any man scared if they do something to her daughter.
"You better back me up." Harry warned, though he had a small smile on his face, liking the laughter of his girlfriends. "We should get going before someone finds us."
Susan and Daphne nodded, not wanting to explain about what happened, especially to Snape of all people. They got dressed, though Harry was amused and a bit horny that Susan and Daphne slowly put their clothes on while shaking their hips side-to-side.
Before they can leave the room, however, Harry asked, "Susan, do you still have the notes from yesterday?"
Susan looked confused for a moment before remembering Harry's childhood. She checked her dress pocket, feeling the parchment and nodded. She was going to get change into her robes and head to the Owlery. Her aunt would not be happy with the way the Boy-Who-Lived was treated, and she hoped that her aunt can give Harry a new home.
Daphne thought the same thing because she said, "Harry, I promise you that we'll give you a new home to live in. I really hope it's either me, or Susan."
Harry nodded, hoping that part is true. Giving each other a kiss, Susan, Daphne and Harry went their separate ways, not knowing that a person was in the room, watching them from the shadows.
The person stepped out, revealing Harry's teacher, Esdeath. She had heard the whole conversation about Harry's childhood, and needless to say, she was angry and sad at the same time. Angry at Harry's relatives for making him a slave for the last eleven years, and sad that Harry doesn't know much about love.
"Harry…I hope you get a new home soon." Esdeath said, walking back into her classroom before coming out with a bag with something in it. She then began walking towards the headmaster's office, where chaos will start.
(In Dumbledore's Office)
Albus Dumbledore felt like he had age several years. His face was pale, and his eyes were no longer twinkling. It was replaced by fury, an emotion that he didn't like to use at all. The kind, old Headmaster of Hogwarts was now angry and was staring at something that made his blood boiled and freeze at the same time.
The Head of Houses were also there, looking shocked at the person before them.
The person before them was Alastor Moody, or rather an imposter of Moody. The imposter was a male who is in his thirties, and he had straw-colored hair, pale skin with freckles and blue eyes that were insane. He was wearing Alastor's clothes, and was unconscious by Minerva and Esdeath, which the former shot a Stunning Spell at him.
"Good heavens…" McGonagall gasped out, her face becoming pale. "Is that Barty Crouch Junior?"
"I'm afraid it is, Minerva." Dumbledore said, not taking his blue eyes off the man. "Esdeath, how did you found out that Moody was an imposter?"
"During the Yule Ball yesterday, I noticed that Moody kept staring at me all night and I was getting a bit uncomfortable." Esdeath said, as she stared at the unconscious man. "When my friend got insulted, I left the hall and went to comfort her. After comforting Akame for a while, I decided to take a walk. I was about to pass the doors to the courtyward when I sensed a spell coming right at me."
"I swiftly dodged it and turned around to see Moody pointing his wand at me." Esdeath continued. "We then began to fight each other. It was a bit of struggle, since Moody was using a lot of Dark spells, but I managed to knock him out in the end with my powers." She then turned to look at Dumbledore. "By the way, Dumbledore, shouldn't you being calling someone to interrogate him?"
Dumbledore nodded and strolled over to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of Floo powder before throwing it into the fireplace. The orange fire turned bright green, and Dumbledore called out, "Amelia Bones! Please come to my office now! We have an escape figurative from Azkaban!"
Esdeath merely raised a brow when Dumbledore did that and became shocked when she saw a woman came out of the fireplace. The woman appeared to be in her late thirties and had flaming red hair with a small patch of grey. She had dark blue eyes, pale skin with a bit of tan, and had a monocle on her left eye. She was wearing expensive robes that screamed respect and powerful.
"What is this about a figurative escape from Azkaban?" Ameila Bones said in an authoritative voice, making Esdeath look at her in respect. The auburn-hair woman looked around for a bit before spotting Barty Crouch Junior.
"Is that Barty Crouch Junior?" Amelia gasped before thrusting her hand into her robes and getting her wand out. She had learned that Crouch's son died in Azkaban, and to see him alive was shocking.
"It is, dear Amelia. Do not worry, he is unconscious." Dumbledore quickly said, noticing that Amelia was about to stun him. "Severus, fetch Veritaserum in your office, and bring it to me. Filius, can you and Professor Sprout go to the Defense classroom and searched for the real Alastor? We will need him to be checked by Poppy. Don't tell no one about this. I will make an announcement tomorrow."
The three Head of Houses nodded, and swiftly walked out of the room to do their orders. Minerva sat down on a chair, while keeping her wand trained on Crouch. Esdeath just leaned to the side of the wall, crossing her arms underneath her chest. Amelia noticed her, wondering who she was.
'New teacher?' Amelia thought, still staring at Esdeath who noticed and sent her a smirk. 'She looks like a general in the Muggle military, perhaps a Muggle-Born.'
"If you are done staring at me, we need to focus on Crouch." The blue-hair woman's voice said, snapping Amelia Bones out of her thoughts. She became embarrassed for a second before regaining her composer.
"Who are you?" Amelia asked.
"My name is Esdeath, a teacher for Hogwarts." Esdeath replied.
Amelia sent a look at Dumbledore, wondering why the Ministry haven't heard of this.
"I'll explain later, Amelia." Dumbledore said, as if sensing the look Amelia gave him. "Right now, I want to question Crouch Junior."
Amelia nodded, and they didn't have to wait that long because the door opened, and Snape came back with a bottle of clear liquid. Dumbledore took the bottle and poured three drops into the man's mouth before reviving him.
"What is your name?" Dumbledore calmly asked.
"Barty Crouch Junior." The man answered in a monotone voice.
"I would like for you to explain how you escaped from Azkaban." Dumbledore said, sending a piercing look at the man.
Crouch Junior took a deep breath before explaining. He told them he escaped from Azkaban with the help of his mother and father, which the former swapped places with the son and the son swapped places with the mother, before leaving Azkaban. They had also learned that Crouch Junior was being under the Imperius Curse from Crouch Senior, and had stayed in the Crouch's house ever since.
Crouch Junior also told them that Bertha Jorkins found out about him being alive and confronting Crouch Senior, who had came home after a long day. But before she could leave the house, Crouch Senior placed a very powerful Memory Charm on her, which had damage her memory.
After Ameila made a note to have a bunch of Auror's to go to the Crouch Senior's house, Dumbledore continued his questioning.
Crouch Junior told them everything about the World Cup, including the fact that it was he who cast the Dark Mark, not an House Elf named Winky.
"And what happened after your father took you home from the World Cup?" Dumbledore asked, his voice was hard and cold. "What happened next?"
Crouch Junior gave everyone in the room an insane grin. "The Dark Lord came to my house to rescue me from the control of my father."
Ameila's face paled dramatically, there's only one Dark Lord Crouch Junior was talking about.
Crouch Junior told them, with sadistic pleasure, about Voldemort arriving his house late at night with Wormtail.
"Wait, who is Wormtail?" Amelia asked, getting the color of her face back.
"Yeah, who is Wormtail?" Esdeath added, sending a cold look at Crouch.
"Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew." Crouch replied in a monotone voice. "He was a Death Eater who has been passing information to the Dark Lord and it was he who betrayed the Potters, not Sirus Black."
Amelia couldn't help but step back in shock, her face turner paler and paler, even though she just got the color back. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Sirus Black, the man who everyone thought was the Secret Keeper to the Potters, was an innocent man.
'An innocent man that has been rotting in Azkaban for twelve years.' Amelia thought sadly.
McGonagall was completely horrifed to learn that Peter Pettigrew was the Potters Secret Keeper, not Sirus Black. 'This can't be...'
"You can worry who Black is later." Esdeath said, snapping her fingers in front of Amelia and McGonagall, both of them snapped out of their thoughts. "Tell us, Crouch, how did Voldemort found out that you were alive?"
"Wormtail brought Bertha Jorkins to the Dark Lord one night when he was at an inn to get some food. When Wormtail gave her to the Dark Lord, he broke the Memory Charm and tortured her for information. The information he got pleased him." Crouch Junior replied, liking the fact that Amelia Bones had become pale once again. "Bertha Jorkins told the Dark Lord that the Tri-Wizard Tournament was being host at Hogwarts. She told him Alastor Moody was going to teach Hogwarts. She told him that I was still alive. The Dark Lord was pleased that I was still alive. Once he gotten every memory from Bertha Jorkins, he killed her."
Everyone, except Snape and Esdeath, gain sad looks from the fact that Bertha Jorkins is dead.
Crouch Junior took a deep breath before he spoke again. "After the Dark Lord gather the information he needed, he came to my fathers house, placed my father under the Imperius Curse and set me free. Once I was back in control, the Dark Lord gave me a mission."
"And what mission did Voldemort gave you?" Amelia demanded, sending a glare at Crouch Junior.
"The Dark Lord needed a faithful servant at Hogwarts to keep an eye on Potter." Crouch Junior replied. "He told me that he needed a servant to place Potter's name in the Goblet of Fire, to guide Potter through the Tasks and make sure that no one attacks him. To guide him through the maze of the Third Task. Turn the Tri-Wizard Cup into a Portkey, but we needed..."
"You needed Alastor Moody to fool everyone, including me." Dumbledore finshed, serectly impressed with the plan Voldemort gave Crouch Junior.
Crouch Junior nodded. "Yes, we needed Alastor Moody. Me and Wormtail brewed the Polyjuice Potion and went to Moody's house. We managed to subdued him, even though he put up a struggle. After that, I took some of his hair, placed it in the Polyjuice Potion, drank it and became Moody's double. And after that..."
Crouch then went on about heading to Hogwarts with Moody's Magical trunk while keeping the man himself inside the trunk. Crouch told them that he needed Moody to be close by, to use his hair for Polyjuice Potion.
"Explain how you put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire." Dumbledore ordered Crouch Junior.
"I placed the parchment inside the Goblet of Fire before using a powerful Confundus Charm on the Goblet of Fire, to make sure that Potter will be chosen." Crouch Junior replied. "The first part of the plan worked. The second part was keeping an eye on Potter and make sure he knows what the Tasks are. But I didn't expect these four people to come out of the Goblet of Fire." He sent a glare at Esdeath, who merely glared back. "I was surprised by that sudden arrival, and I tried to get more information about them, but that blue-hair woman would always give me the same answer."
"And after a few weeks of not getting information about these people, I lost my cool and decided to dragged them to my office." Crouch Junior continued. "I wanted to gain information about the blue-hair woman, but I didn't expect for her to put up a fight. We fought for a bit, but I lost in the end."
"That's because you are weak." Esdeath said with a sadistic smirk.
"It doesn't matter. The Dark Lord will return once he get's his hands on Potter." Crouch Junior said, his voice becoming less monotone and more insane. "And once he does return, all the Wizards and Witches will bow before him and rule over Britain!"
Everyone in the room gave Crouch Junior a look of disgust, before Amelia stunned him.
Ameila was angry at Crouch Senior for smuggling his son out of Azkaban and getting Bertha's memory wiped and killed. Why did he want to see his son? He showed no love from the incident that happened before she became the Head of Magical Law Enforcement.
"I will call two Auror's here immediately to escort him out." Amelia declared, and moved to the fireplace to call two Auror's. Ten minutes later, Crouch Junior was levitated out of the room with two Auror's. "If there's anything else I need to know, tell me now."
Esdeath decided to speak after listening to Crouch Junior. "Actually, there is something else, it's about Harry Potter's childhood."
"What do you mean?" Amelia asked with a frown. From what she learned; Harry Potter was hidden and raised in the Muggle World. "What's wrong with his childhood?"
"He's been abused." Esdeath replied, making everyone widened their eyes in shock.
"WHAT?!"
(With Harry)
Harry, the person that everyone in Dumbledore's office was just talking about, was relaxing in the Gryffindor Common Room. He had came up here after he, Susan and Daphne went their seperate ways.
"Achoo!" Harry suddenly sneezed, causing everyone in the Gryffindor Common Room to look at him.
"You alright, Harry?" Hermione asked with a tired look on her face. Her hair was no longer shiny and it was now bushy again.
"Yeah," Harry replied, sniffling his nose. "I think a group of people were just talking about me."
Everyone sweat-drop at Harry's answer.
(Back in Dumbledore's Office)
All the people in the room were staring at Esdeath with wide eyes and shock on their faces, but Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall and Amelia Bones were the most shock of all.
Albus Dumbledore felt like his age had come closer, and a lot of emotions were swirling inside him. Sadness, guilt, anger, shock and horrified were the emotions. He didn't want to believe it, he could not…
'I-I can't believe it…Harry is abused...' Dumbledore thought, sitting down on his chair, and put his hands on his head in shame. 'I thought that Petunia would let go of her hatred of Lily becoming a Witch...but I was wrong.' His sadness and guilt increased when he didn't learn more about the young boy.
Dumbledore can remember the time when he first saw the boy during the Sorting, and what he saw unnerved him a bit. Harry was small, scrawny and extremely thin, like he haven't been excercising at all. He also had deathly pale skin and he didn't look healthy at all, something that made Dumbledore worried. His worrying increased when the old Wizard noticed that Harry wasn't eating that much and doesn't talk to other people.
Dumbledore ignored the concerning reports from Minerva, who had told him repeatedly and repeatedly, that Harry should be moved from the Dursleys and into a Magical family. He had repeated that the Duresleys only family he has, but he was wrong. He can hope that Harry will forgive him for sending him there.
Minerva McGonagall still had the shock look on her face before she was shaking from anger. She was blaming the Dursleys and Albus. She knew that the Dursleys weren't the best family for Harry to live in, and here was the proof. Her own lion was being abused, and not once he had said anything about it.
'He must've inherited Lily's emotional look.' Minerva thought with sadness, remembering that Lily doesn't show emotions that much when she was at Hogwarts, before glaring hatefully at Albus, who was sitting at his desk with a lone tear running down his face. 'Albus, I can't believe you! I told you many times that the Dursleys aren't the best Muggles, and you still keep Harry there! I will tell Harry about this meeting, including the people who were supposed to take care of him!'
Snape was quiet as he was processing the information he just heard. Potter was abused, Lily's son was abused. For the first time in years, Snape felt pity for Potter. He had suffered abused during his childhood, but it seems that Potter's abused was bad. He had seen how small and skinny the boy was, but he didn't care about it.
For the past three years, Snape had tried to get Potter out of Hogwarts, because the boy was an arrogant rule-breaker, strutting around the school like he owned it. But now, he was starting to think that Potter doesn't care about his fame and doesn't act arrogantly.
Snape was never going to admit it, not even to Dumbledore, but he was starting to care about the boy. Whenever he look at the boy's eyes, it reminded him of Lily.
'If Lily was alive and found out what the Dursleys did to her boy…' Snape thought, imagined the look of horror on his former friend's face. There will be no doubt that Lily would unleash the Dragon Temper. He shivered in fear from the thought of that name. If there's one thing that made everyone in school scared of Lily when she was at Hogwarts, it was her temper.
Snape would never admit it, but he was starting to fear Potter a bit. The boy was starting to become more smarter, healthier and most importantly, becoming cunning and powerful. All Snape can do now is observe and see if Potter is changing like the rumors are saying.
Amelia was the most shocked of all as she stared at Esdeath with a horrified look on her face. The Boy-Who-Lived was being abused by Muggles. Never had she heard of this before. As soon as the Second Task is done, she was going to call the boy up here and give them the memory of all the beatings so they can use it against the Muggles.
As far as Amelia was concerned, those Muggles don't deserve to live and should be put down, forever. She would even
"A-are you s-sure?" Amelia Bones stammered, looking at Esdeath, who had a grim look on her face. "If this is some kind of sick joke, it's not funny."
"It's not, I can assure you." Esdeath replied, crossing her arms. "When I was dropping the imposter in my office, I heard voices coming straight to my classroom. I locked the office door, and hid in the shadows, and three people came in. The three people were Harry Potter, Susan Bones and Daphne Greengrass."
"Wait, my niece is with Potter?" Amelia asked in surprised. She didn't know that her niece was hanging out with Potter. Snape was also surprised to see a student from the Slytherin House hanging out with a Gryffindor. He will be having a word with Greengrass about it.
"Yep," Esdeath smirked, leaning against the wall. "I was surprised to see her hanging out with Harry. She's such a nice girl, including Daphne." Her smirk vanished and her face became grim. "But back to the main topic. Susan sat down with a parchment and quill, ready to write everything down so she can send it to you, and Harry began talking. What I heard completely horrified and angered me."
"And what exactly did you hear?" Dumbledore asked, fearing the answer.
Esdeath took a deep breath before telling them what she heard, how Harry would get punishments for doing good than the Dursleys son, how they called him a freak and beat him up for do magic, how Harry hasn't eaten anything and how they would lock Harry in a cupboard under the stairs.
Every word that Esdeath was saying was making the people in the room horrified, shock, guilt and rage. Dumbledore couldn't control himself anymore and began crying silently. He should've listened to Minerva and taken Harry away from the Dursleys.
"I TOLD YOU MANY TIMES, ALBUS!" Minerva screamed at Dumbledore, who flinched a bit. She couldn't control herself anymore, she had tears streaming down her wrinkled face, and she was shaking in anger while letting her magic out. "I TOLD YOU THAT HARRY SHOULDN'T BE RAISED AT THE DURSLEYS AND YOU STILL LEFT HIM THERE!"
"What do you mean?" Amelia asked sharply, turning to look at the Transfiguration teacher, who was berating the headmaster. "Did you know that Harry was living with Muggles?"
"Of course I knew Harry was living with Muggles!" Minerva exclaimed, turning to look at Amelia with tears in her eyes. "I was there when Dumbledore dropped him off! I had been watching those Muggles all day, and I knew that Harry shouldn't be raised there at all! But Dumbledore here said that the Dursleys are his only family and he said that it would be better if Harry was raised in the Muggle World, instead of the Wizarding World!"
There was silence as everyone processed the information they heard, while Dumbledore was still crying silently. 'Harry, I'm so sorry.'
"Dumbledore, after what I'd learned, Harry will be moved away from those…Muggles." Amelia spat out the name in disgust. "You better hope that Harry will forgive you for placing him there." She did an un-lady snort. "Oh, who am I kidding? He will never forgive you, and he might lose your trust and respect. I won't be surprised."
"I will have a word with Harry after the Second Task." Dumbledore stated, as he stopped sobbing and became every bit of his old age. "I just hope that he can forgive me."
"Albus, it's not your fault." Minerva said softly, as she stopped glaring at Dumbledore and looked at him with pity in her eyes. "I just wished you listened to me and sent Harry to a loving family."
"Besides," Esdeath said, gaining everyone's attention. "I've trained Harry a lot when he survived the First Task, and I'd noticed he looks at me like a mother." The last part made everyone surprised. Harry looks at Esdeath like a mother?
"But the thing that saddens me the most," Esdeath continued. "is that Harry doesn't know much about love or even been loved before. He would flinch when someone hugs or touch him, and he doesn't have confidence in himself." Her face became sad. "And because of his lack of confidence, Harry doesn't have many friends."
Sadness was in everyone's eyes, though Snape had an emotionless mask on.
Dumbledore noticed that Esdeath had a cold look on her face and he can tell what the blue-hair woman was thinking. She wanted to go find the Dursleys and kill them for abusing Harry. Dumbledore did not like killing, not one bit. Too many memories about the Wizarding War appeared in his mind and he shook his head to clear it.
"Alright, I think the meeting is over." Dumbledore said, standing up and prepared to go visit the Ministry of Magic. "Amelia, before you arrest the Dursleys, let me talk to Harry to see what punishments they deserved."
"That's fine, as long as you bring me memories of him being abused." Amelia said, ready to head home to get a glass of fire whiskey. She certainly needed it. "Including the one where Harry meets Sirius Black." Her face became sad when she thought about Sirius. "We're going to need that memory if we want to give him a trial."
"I will ask Harry if he can give a copy of all the memoires, including that one." Dumbledore said, throwing a pot of Floo Powder in the fireplace before entering it, and he disappeared.
"Amelia, your niece is sending you a letter about everything he said. Do you still want the letter?" Esdeath asked Amelia, who had a thoughtful look on her face before nodding her head.
"Well, it's not like I need the letter, but I still want to hear what Susan wrote." Amelia said, before grabbing the Floo Powder and throwing it in the fireplace. "I need a drink. I will see you all on the day after the Second Task." She then stepped in the fireplace, and she disappeared, leaving three people in the room.
"Minerva, will you walk with me?" Esdeath asked, wanting to talk to the Head of Gryffindor House about Weasley's behavior towards her friends.
Minerva nodded, and five minutes later, they were now walking on a path to Hogsmeade. "So, what is it you want to talk about?" Minerva asked, looking at the blue-hair woman.
"Ron Weasley." Esdeath said, and Minerva sighed heavily. She was not surprised to hear that; she had given Weasley a month of detentions for embarrassing the school and took thirty-points away. Ron said loudly that Harry was turning Dark by Greengrass and needed to be check by the school nurse. He also said that those weird people are changing Harry and derserved to be kicked out of Hogwarts.
That made Minerva angrier than before, and she furiously told Ron that if he said things like that again, he will be suspended from school.
"I already gave him a month of detentions and threatened him to leave Harry alone." Minerva said, making the blue-hair woman looked at her. "I'm really sorry about what happened at the Yule Ball. I hope your friend is ok."
"She was a mess when I found her in our Living Quarters." Esdeath said, narrowing her eyes at the old woman. "She was crying loudly, saying that it was her first-time dancing and Weasley ruined it. I told Leone and Tatsumi about it, and they are very pissed off. You better hope they both calm down because they were planning to go to the Gryffindor Tower and beat the shit out of Weasley."
Minerva winced and made a mental note to talk to Leone and Tatsumi.
"Aside from that, I want you to transfer Harry into my office, so he can stay there for the term." Esdeath said, surprising the old woman completely.
"Why?"
"Because I do not trust those boys in Harry's dormitory, and they might read the books I've been giving him." Esdeath explained, as they turned a corner and walked into the Three Broomsticks. The pub was busy and was filled with a lot of people, making it a bit hard to move. They sat down at a table away from the people and ordered their drinks.
"What books?" Minerva asked, looking at Esdeath with suspicion. "What books are you giving Harry?"
"Ah, ah, ah…" Esdeath teased, waving a finger at Minerva with a smirk. "That would be telling…" Minerva scowled at the woman. "You will find out during the Second Task." Esdeath dropped the teasing and became serious. "But seriously, transfer Harry into my office, so he can sleep and train there."
"(Sigh) Very well…" Minerva said, taking a sip of her brandy. "Once I get back to the castle, I will head to the Gryffindor Common Room to talk to Harry about this, including the meeting earlier."
"Thank you." Esdeath said, and they drinked their drinks in silence before saying goodbye.
'I'm not sure who I should be worried about, Albus or Harry.' Minerva thought, as she made her way towards the Gryffindor Tower. 'I hope the meeting between Harry and Albus goes right, and there won't be shouting.'
If only she knew how wrong she would be after the Second Task…
Do you guys think I should write that Harry goes to Madam Promfey to get healed or go to St. Mangos? Let me know, because I had read the reviews that Harry should get healed and become healthy.
