Bab 27: Chapter 27
Hermione, Minerva, Bill and Arthur Weasley apparated to Ottery S. Catchpole and walked the short distance to Luna's house that was a little away from the village in the opposite direction to the Weasley home that was also tucked away from the main muggle village.
They walked down the narrow path that led into the woods and Arthur Weasley went forward as he knew where the Lovegood home was, having visited it a few times before.
They found the house in a small clearing and Bill was amazed that there seemed to be no wards anywhere around the house. He wondered at the brashness or was it the foolishness that made Mr. Lovegood so uncaring of his safety and of the security of his home.
Arthur in the meantime had gone up to the door and was now knocking sharply. A moment later the door was opened by man who looked totally frazzled and harried.
He was of medium height and very thin. He had a bright look on his face though and he was slightly balding at the temples. He was wearing dark green robes with some very strange prints on it.
"Arthur come in, come in," he rushed to sat and with a huge smile invited Arthur and the other three. He bowed low to McGonagall who looked bemused at the sight of so much friendliness.
He asked them to come into a home that was more cramped than The Burrow was. The living room was full; full of things that made no sense to anyone. The walls were covered with posters of all types photographs that McGonagall honestly did not know from where this man had bought because each photograph was a picture of strange looking beasts with the names of 'the Crumple Horned Snorknacks', 'Nargles', "Grumplings', Ten Tailed Kerucheeks" and "Gnorrors', whatever they were.
McGonagall, Hermione, Bill and Arthur looked at Lovegood dubiously. Arthur was friendly with Gerald Lovegood but even he was doubtful whether this man could be of help to their cause. Arthur knew he was forever looking for non-existent creatures; that were fine with him, but the chaos that was present in the house made him think about Gerald Lovegood's contribution to their cause.
The articles in the press were the pivot around which they would have to gather their strength Arthur knew. But would the man even take him seriously to print such vitriolic articles about Voldemort, let alone agree to work amidst danger that would come the moment the first article was printed was the area of concern.
"Arthur what can I do for you?" Lovegood asked him with a beaming smile on his face as he used his wand to clear four chairs for them to sit upon.
"I am here on behalf of Harry Potter. You remember he gave an interview for Rita Skeeter two years ago?" Arthur asked him with a smile. All of them sat down gingerly on the chairs and tried to look comfortable.
Mr. Lovegood nodded his head. "Yes of course Arthur. I was forced to put the amazing details of the Crumple Horned Snorknacks on the third page. But Luna you know my daughter was quite insistent about the Harry Potter interview and I decided to humor my only child."
Arthur blinked and smiled uncertainly as he tried to say something knowledgeable about Crumple Horned Snorknacks but his mind simply could not connect with anything remotely like the Crumpled something Snorknacks.
So he cleared his throat, smiled at Lovegood and once again cleared his throat and looked at the others for assistance. They were useless as they stared back blankly at them. He smiled weakly at Lovegood who was looking expectantly at him and racked his brains to say something intelligent and slowly work his way to a request.
"Hello! Why has Harry not come here? Is he afraid of the Wackspurts?" a new calm and serene voice broke through the embarrassing silence.
Hermione whirled around to see Luna enter the room. Her hair was windblown and she looked as she always did pale, and her protruding eyes looking at everyone with a dreamy expression.
"Er no; he was not afraid, he had some other work to do. How are you Luna?" Hermione asked her with a smile.
"I am okay. I was just searching for the Greering Gills in the river behind the house. They are very tiny and so very easy to miss. How is Harry?" she asked Hermione in return. Hermione blinked for a second and then remembering the purpose for which they had come smiled at her with great effort.
"Fine." Hermione replied.
"Harry wants to use the Quibbler as he did in our fifth year, doesn't he?" she asked Hermione, shocking her, who gasped and looked incredulously at Luna.
Luna looked calmly at Hermione and then turned to look at her father for a long moment. Her father too, looked deeply into her eyes and then he nodded once.
Luna turned to Hermione and smiled. "Tell Harry that Daddy will give him the first six pages for his news for as long as he wants. On the other pages Daddy will write about the rare magical creatures. There is only one condition though."
The others were stunned at Luna's words and it was only Hermione who slightly understood that there was more to Luna beyond the dreamy look. "What is it Luna?" she asked the other girl gently, wishing Harry was here. He would have known how to handle this Ravenclaw who was smiling at her dreamily.
"Tell him I too wish to fight with him in his war. Will you?"
All of them gasped in shock. "Er I will." Hermione managed.
"When may I meet him?" Luna asked her.
In response Hermione gave a parchment and bound that with Luna. "Harry will write you in that and he will tell you where he will meet you, alright?"
Luna nodded her head and then sat down in another chair and looked dreamily into space humming something under her breath. McGonagall seemed shocked by Luna and so were the Weasleys present there.
"Okay that is settled Arthur. I presume all of you came for that?" all the others nodded their heads and Mr. Lovegood went on beaming at all of them.
"Little girl," he addressed Hermione who seemed shocked at being called a 'little girl', "How will you get the articles to me?"
"Sir if we may floo to your place, then we will hand over the articles to you. How often will you be able to print?" Hermione asked him.
"I print every fortnight. But with the serious messages that we must get across I think we must print good articles about the war and You-Know-Who twice a week at least." He finished shocking all of them by his sensible words and his knowledge.
"That would be fantastic." Arthur told him and he was about think of a good way to talk about the money that Mr. Lovegood would need to print when Luna intervened once again.
"Daddy can print twice a week for at least five months without a problem. I think by then the sales will be so much we would not need to ask Harry for any money. If the Quibbler does not sell then Harry may support us until the war is over, because then we will have to give away free copies to make the people understand about our theories. That way they also get a bonus and will be able to read all the great stuff about the Snorknacks and the Nargles which make for a great reading really."
"Er, yes." Hermione really did not know what to say. The others were astounded at the mixture this family was. Sharp to the point of being intuitive and then vague to the point of exasperation.
After taking the floo address Bill and McGonagall volunteered to ward the place for them.
"Oh there is no need Madam. There are invisible wards of intent all around these woods. No one with intent to harm or even ridicule may enter. We will be very safe." Mr. Lovegood beamed at McGonagall who smiled back a bit uncertainly at him.
Then they spent a little time talking about the type of articles and Mr. Lovegood was keen to have them published. They decided to kick start from the very next day as that was Harry's birthday.
McGonagall promised to get at least three articles by ten 'o clock at night. Mr. Lovegood had demanded the articles by ten so that the printing would take place smoothly.
Thanking the Lovegoods Hermione, McGonagall and the Weasleys left the untidy house bewildered and unable to understand both the father and the daughter.
"He will print for us won't he?" McGonagall asked Arthur doubtfully as walked to the apparition point.
It was Hermione who answered. "She will see to it professor. She will make sure the printing goes on smoothly."
McGonagall looked highly doubtful about anything going on smoothly in that house but she held her tongue and apparated to Godric's Hollow and seeing the Slytherins still there she told them about the Lovegoods agreeing to help them out and the need for good articles by ten that night.
Draco, Pansy and Hermione were in charge of writing one and a maximum of two articles and James, Lily, Sirius and Remus were writing one and Arran, Blaise and Ria were writing another.
McGonagall left to Grimmauld Place along with Arthur to inform Dumbledore their search for Harry Potter had been futile.
----------------
Harry and Snape apparated to Diagon Alley and went inside. Harry and Snape had both worn a long hooded cloak. They also cast notice me not charms and walked briskly to Gringotts.
They saw Tonks whose hair was a mousey brown looking at the streets forlornly. She did not notice Harry and Snape walking into Gringotts, though Moody who was a little distance away noticed them with his magical eye.
He ran to them but by then, they had gone inside the building and knowing he could not use force on them in Gringotts, he sent a Patronus to Albus saying Harry was with Snape of all people and they were in Gringotts and would Albus come at once.
Albus apparated at once to Diagon Alley and went to Moody and spoke to him.
"Are you sure? Is Severus really with Harry?" he asked Moody incredulously.
"Yes Albus. They had a notice me not charm on them and I saw Harry and Snape quite clearly. But do not go inside and create a fuss. You know the goblins can make it tough for us. Stay here and we can catch them surely."
Albus agreed and they stood there sending Tonks away to Grimmauld Place.
They waited until nightfall and then Albus went inside and enquired if there was a Harry Potter or a Severus Snape inside as he had matters of great importance to discuss with them. He was told politely that Mr. Potter and Mr. Snape had been there but had left a long while ago.
Tired and astounded that he and Moody had missed Harry and Snape, Dumbledore apparated to Grimmauld Place along with Moody calling for the full meeting of the Inner Council members.
--------------
Harry and Snape entered Gringotts and walked swiftly to room at the back and knocked sharply on the door. The door opened and they were met by Pitot and Harry smiled and shook hands with the goblin that had helped him so much last year and had also promised to help them against Voldemort.
"How are you Sir?" Harry asked it with a smile.
The goblin grinned back. "I am fine Mr. Potter. And you are as polite as ever. Tell me what can I do for you?"
Harry looked for a moment at Snape, who nodded encouragingly at him and then Harry turned to the goblin and started speaking of all he wanted to do. The goblin listened quietly as Harry started talking softly but became increasingly passionate about his dreams and his plans for starting a School, university, orphanage and helping the half breeds.
"We can do so much you see Sir. We can make sure that all magical beings are given the right to live by first helping them and allowing them to live in dignity. The final aim is to get at least two seats on the Wizengamot for all half breeds making it so that any one with magic has a right to live in equality in the magical world.
"Each of the species may have their own Council, like your own Goblin Council, but all of us will meet together in the Wizengamot to address issues that affect all of us, instead of just the wizards and witches taking unilateral decisions for beings they don't understand or care for.
"If each race and species has their representatives, then any law passed will have to consider the effect the said law on all of us instead of like it is now. Today we care only for the so called completely human, but we neglect to take care of the vampires, werewolves, veelas, high elves, house elves, goblins, centaurs, merpeople and everyone. Even ghosts in my opinion. All of us need each other to live and when that is the case why should we talk of superiority or inferiority?
"This beautiful world is for all of us to coexist not for one race to walk all over the others."
Harry sat back praying he had not offended the goblin and looked nervously at him and then looked at Snape who was looking at him affectionately and extremely proudly. Harry grinned back nervously at Snape and looked at the impassive goblin that was still silent.
A long minute later it cleared its throat and looked deeply at Harry who was by then reduced to a mass of nerves.
"I am impressed Mr. Potter. Truly impressed. If you are able to succeed by even a little in this you will be the greatest wizard after Merlin, who also saw all the races as interdependent on each other and declared them as equal."
"Thank you Sir." Harry told the goblin, a feeling of relief sweeping through him. He could feel Snape stiffening in pride at the comparison to Merlin.
"Now," the goblin said briskly, "For you to need the School, you need to get the relevant papers from the Ministry. It is very easy because the Ministry will give immediate sanction, especially for a Day School that runs on its own funds.
"I will have the paper work in about five minutes for the School and the orphanage. The counseling center is just another business and since it is completely legal, I have the license prepared before you leave. The university will be the real challenge as it is a completely new concept. Another thing you need from the Ministry will be the duplicate of the Book of wizards."
"Sir please wait." Harry told him. The goblin paused.
"What about education to other species Sir?"
The goblin smiled, "Mr. Potter I would advise you to start with the human and the werewolves alone in the beginning for your School. Let it gain popularity and let the other races see for themselves about your integrity. Then you may fund separate schools for, vampires and elves and goblins. Now they will not come as they do not trust humans and your humans would not come because there are vampires and goblins around. It would defeat the purpose Mr. Potter."
"Harry Mr. Pitot is correct. We must first accept them in our minds before we can completely integrate with them. The same goes for them as well. Let us start small and slowly build up separate schools for each race and have them join together at the university level. What do you say?"
Harry nodded smiling brightly and the goblin grinned. "Who put you on to this, Mr. Potter?"
"All of them who are with me Sir." Snape turned to look incredulously at Harry, a look the goblin did not fail to notice.
"We used to discuss the war all the time and inevitably the aftermath would creep into our discussions. That was where I got the idea that if we started this work now then it would help us later." Harry explained.
The goblin nodded and flicked its fingers. Another goblin came in and Pitot whispered something and sent him away.
"The forms will be here in a minute Mr. Potter. I will try and get you the approvals for everything today. Where will you have School and the orphanage?"
"Sir how about my properties? Is there any one I could use, one with a lot of grounds and stuff?"
"Harry, we could use the one in Scotland that is quite near Hogwarts for the university. For the School cum orphanage we could use the other property in Scotland. We could also buy a better version of the Knight's bus and take the students along everyday and drop them back. What do you say?"
"Fantastic!" Harry grinned and Snape ruffled his hair with love and smiled back at the enthusiastic boy who was so thrilled.
"We will arrange for all that. The properties will be adequate I think. Once the sanction for the School is given, then we may request for the copy of the Book of Wizards. The moment you receive that, Mr. Potter you will know how many children are magical, including the werewolves because they are wizards who have been turned. The other races are not given in it, though."
They had to wait for a while for the approvals to be taken to the Ministry department and in that time Harry and Snape went down to the vaults. Harry keyed in Snape and both of them wandered inside. Snape was amazed at the wealth he was seeing and he went into raptures over the books and different types of magical objects telling Harry everything about those he knew and examining the ones he had not seen before.
"How is it so ridiculously easy it is to start something of this type Sev? I had thought it would involve a lot of red tape and meetings with Fudge and other obnoxious asses in the Ministry and then talking my hind leg to convince them and so much more actually."
"All of that is there Harry but you have a special status as the 'Chosen One' and a lot of money and you are the Head of two important Houses. That simplifies things and then the goblins trust you fully. So they are also going out of their way to cut through all the difficulties that may creep in your way."
"Great! Sev, I thought we would hire or purchase outright a big spacious place here in Diagon Alley and start the counseling center here. If we can keep it close to Knockturn Alley and keep it open twenty four hours, I am sure the counseling center for the half breeds would be a success."
Snape nodded. "Harry you must take their signatures on magical contracts before giving them the money to invest and in those contracts you must make them affix their signature to many things. Like for instance, they must submit accounts until such time they are able to repay the loan and they should also not do any illegal business that may get us into trouble."
"You are right as usual Severus Tobias Snape." Harry declared with a grin as Snape rolled his eyes at the dramatics.
"Harry you are also not to forget the seats the Houses of Potter and Black that you have on the Wizengamot. Once we get this thing with Albus settled, then I think we may start using it to push a few resolutions through. Draco, Nott, Blaise, Pansy have seats in the Wizengamot. On this side Amelia Bones and Longbottom have seats that you can have if you can talk to Madam Bones and Mrs. Longbottom. It will not be difficult."
They spent some more time chatting and then Harry and Snape went up to find the goblins all ready with the papers and a huge tome that was placed on one side.
"Mr. Potter, please sign at the appropriate places and also fill up the names of the counseling center, School, orphanage and university. The Ministry has said it will watch up to a time of three years and if you do not conduct business in an appropriate manner, then it withholds the right to close them all."
"Thank you Sir. How did they agree with the School for kids who will be so young?"
"We told them in the times of war all the magical children will be safe in a warded place and the future of the wizarding population will not be left to the mercies of the attacks that are taking place on a daily basis. After that they were willing to sign anywhere."
Harry grinned at the cunning of the goblins and started signing at all the marked places and Snape asked the goblin about premises at Diagon Alley and soon he was looking at the empty slops on a map of Diagon Alley.
Harry looked at Snape, "Sev," he called.
Snape came over. "What is it Harry?"
"They have asked for the names Sev. I thought I will name the university after Sirius and Regulus and call it 'The Black School of Higher Studies'. What do you think?"
Snape's eyes shone at the mention of Regulus. He simply nodded his head suddenly his throat constricting him.
Harry smiled sadly. "The name for the orphanage next. I would call it 'Sacrifices' for that is what my parents and so many others did so that all of us may live and the School, 'The Rose Cottage' because I learnt so much there. I came in despair to that place and I found my greatest strength there that gave me hope for the first time that I could do it too and," Harry shyly shrugged.
Snape was dumbfounded. He had thought Harry would name the School after his parents. But to name it after his cottage, he knew it was Harry's way of saying that he was naming it after him and calling him his greatest strength well! Snape couldn't speak or move if his life depended on it and he stood there staring at Harry.
A long moment later Snape managed a 'Thank you'. He could not speak after that and Harry understood. He also did not say a word more but smiled widely and wrote the name down.
They picked up three shops for the counseling center. Two of them were together and Harry approved of that right away and Snape advised him to take the third shop that was one shop away from the other two.
"You can keep the other two as actual counseling rooms, maybe we can have more than two rooms there?" he raised his eyebrows to the goblin who nodded.
"Very easily Mr. Snape. There is a lot of space inside."
Snape smiled his thanks and looked at Harry. "The shop that is away will do well as a reception center and we can keep that aloof from the other two."
"That's brilliant Sev. That is what we will do then." Harry said and he looked at the goblin and grinned.
"Thank you Sir. I will never forget this. You have been very kind." Harry told the goblin formally as they finished with all the formalities and Harry was free to start with the actual work.
The goblin gave the huge book to Harry who was surprised to find it feather light. Harry smiled and looked up, "Mr. Potter it has been a pleasure and I do not remember saying these words to any other. May you succeed in all your endeavors and be very happy. You too Mr. Snape." The goblin smiled at both of them and shook their hand.
Harry and Snape left Gringotts by using the Potter ring as the portkey and landed in Godric's Hollow. They told everyone all that they had done and in turn learnt about Luna and McGonagall's doubts that she expressed with shaking her head almost continuously. Harry grinned; he was feeling very happy.
Harry spent the next hour suggesting points and talking to his parents and Sirius about all that he had done. Remus looked a lot better and he grinned at Harry when he came up to chat.
"Harry," Lupin started hesitantly. "I have already forgotten Moony. Please don't say anything more." Harry told him with a smile.
"Are you sure Harry? I am so very sorry, but I just could not help it."
Sirius and James rolled their eyes. "Of course Moony. Don't be silly." James grinned at him. The three of them, not listening to Lily and were writing all the stupid things that a death eater could do and had decided to sign it with their names as well. Remus was writing it down as they dictated to him, sometimes rolling on the floor with laughter and then Lily would glare at them and ask Remus to read it and then strike it out nine times out of ten.
Harry looking at his father and Sirius with deep affection was very happy. He had accomplished a lot in one day and he was going to a bit more. Arthur Weasley was at Grimmauld Place and he had had his earring activated. Bill and the Twins were there sitting very aloof and Harry had activated his earring once he and Snape had come to Godric's Hollow and he could hear Molly's angry voice asking Bill and the Twins why they were so rude.
There were no answers of course from any of them and Arthur did not say a word and Harry could almost hear the hurt in Molly's voice.
Harry had converted the study into a meeting room of sorts as there was a long table with many chairs there. He already asked Dobby and Winky to come over and make some dinner for all of them. Harry had not had anything since last night; while he had no hunger all through the day because of so much of tension about the various issues he had wanted to address, he had been very hungry when they had returned from Gringotts.
All of them had dinner there before Arran, Hermione and Remus gave three articles for the Quibbler.
Arran had written about the back story of Voldemort and Draco and Hermione a research article about blood purity detailing out all about wizarding marriages and what would entail purity for the succeeding generation if any. Harry's message as the 'Chosen One' to the people was not yet complete since Harry had been away and he would write it only now.
The Complete Story of Tom Marvolo Riddle – I Am Lord Voldemort (the name I am Lord Voldemort is an anagram of the name Tom Marvolo Riddle
Voldemort was born Tom Marvolo Riddle in a muggle orphanage sixty eight years ago. His mother was Merope Gaunt Riddle who married Tom Riddle a muggle who live in the house on the hill near to the broken down hut of the Gaunts.
The Gaunts were descended from Salazar Slytherin but had a strong strain of insanity on account of marrying their own cousins and sometimes siblings in order to maintain what they believed, blood purity.
But unfortunately they did not know that blood purity means magical purity or the strength of your magic that runs in your blood and not marrying into the so called pure families as it is understood today.
If we are to take blood purity as the basis of following Voldemort, then we would have to kill him first because he is a half blood born of a muggle father and a witch mother.
Continuing with our story Merope Gaunt fell in love with a handsome boy Thomas Riddle who lived in the Manor House in the village of Little Hangleton and who was almost engaged to be married to another girl who was also a muggle.
It was at that time that Marvolo Gaunt, his son and Merope's brother Mad Morfin Gaunt were found guilty of harassing muggles and were sentenced to Azkaban for some time; Marvolo for six months and Morfin for three years.
In that time Merope cast a compulsion charm on Thomas Riddle and fed him with a love potion.
They eloped and an insane Marvolo Gaunt came back to find his daughter run with a muggle of all people and his son in Azkaban for three years. He died a heartbroken man a few months later.
Merope Gaunt's love potion was somehow overcome by her husband or may be she removed the effects herself by an antidote thinking she had the love of her husband, we do not know, but a few months later a ragged and a horrified Tom Riddle Sr. came back and started living with his parents. He never married anyone else though.
Merope was heart broken and she lived the last few months of her pregnancy and life in utter squalor. She died at childbirth in an orphanage where she named the baby boy she had as Tom after the man she had loved and lost and Marvolo after her father.
To be continued…
Complied from the Diaries of Regulus Black who was a death eater initially, but later on turned a traitor to Voldemort because he did not agree with the policy of whom he calls a madman and an insane maniac—Harry James Potter
"Fantastic Arran." Harry told him after he read the first chapter of the story of his nemesis. "But why should I take the credit for this?" he demanded.
"Because if I affix my name proudly at the bottom I will be tortured and killed?" Arran told him with a smile that turned to a grin as Harry blushed in realization.
"Thank you my Lord Arran for giving me the credit for such a noble piece of work." Harry bowed dramatically making Arran, James and Sirius laugh. They too had been hearing Harry read aloud what Arran had written and they were impressed.
"This way Voldemort will grit his teeth and snarl but he cannot do anything more. He will simply think that this is one more reason to kill the Golden Boy." Harry rolled his eyes at the Golden Boy and grinned.
Then he too sat down with a quill and parchment and started writing the message form the 'Chosen One'.
A Small Message…from… Harry James Potter
Voldemort is terrifying the Wizarding World, killing indiscriminately and holding the wonderful world of magic to ransom. And all for what? To take revenge against the muggle father who left his mother because he woke up one day from a love potion. WHAT A JOKE! All this killing of innocents and ruining the Wizarding World by his hate is because of one insane man's petty revenge.
Riddle, that is his name not Voldemort, hates the pure bloods because he is not one. He hates the half bloods because he is one and he feels in his mind that he is inferior to the pure bloods of whom he is jealous. He hates the muggleborns because he feels they are inferior to him and he hates the muggles because his father who was a muggle abandoned him.
What a bloody stupid man! He seems to run his life on hate and he has accomplished a lot. What has he accomplished?
Well for one the most important thing he has accomplished is the destruction of the pure bloods because he feels there should be no one superior to him. Today half a century after he has come on to the scene as a major player a Dark Lord he had effectively killed off almost all the prominent pure blood families.
Among those left the Lestranges come first to mind as surely they would either be killed by Voldemort as a punishment. Rabastan Lestrange has already died and the others too will be killed either by Voldemort or by the aurors for the atrocities they have committed in the name of their Lord. The Malfoys, I dare Lucius Malfoy, Rookwood and McNair and Avery to fold their sleeves of the left arm and walk proudly. They too will die either at the hands of the Dark Lord or at the hands of the aurors.
The Ministry of Magic is so ineffective that they have not even had periodic and random checks on their employees who are privy to much information and that if such information falls into wrong hands would do much damage. The Ministry of Magic is not concerned by all this it seems.
So many pure blood families have died for what I do not know but they have died because of Voldemort. There is something very wrong here.
While I do not agree with the policies, if I may call them that in the first place, of old Voldie thingy or whatever that creature is (really) I also do not agree with the most STUPID policy of our esteemed Headmaster (the esteemed is highly debatable in my opinion) that we need not have a rule of barring all the muggleborns to speak about our world.
The muggles are six billion around the world and more than fifty million of them live in the U.K. so Voldemort cannot in this life time or the next kill all of them.
With so many muggles and hardly a hundred thousand of us who are reducing every day because of the mad killing, to expose our world to the fifty million muggles can hardly be classified as brilliant.
What if any muggleborn decided to expose our world? It would take only one muggleborn and our world will be lost forever.
My best friend is a muggleborn. Her name is Hermione Granger and she agrees wholeheartedly with me in this saying that all families of muggleborn students must be spelled to ensure they never speak of our world to anyone and I agree with her as well.
I have come of age today and I will be taking my seats on the Wizengamot as Head of the Potter and the Black families and will pursue this ardently and try my very best to have it passed as law.
The Wizarding World has been held to ransom by Voldemort who is slowly but surely killing our world and not the muggles as he would have us believe, Dumbledore who is taking law into his own hands all for the greater good of course. What? Who's greater good? Well Dumbledore's naturally, for it is definitely not ours or mine and the great Ministry of Magic which has no balls and is made up of the most pathetic, ineffective set of persons who do not do a grain of good to us.
I, Harry James Potter have lost too much because of the above three. I lost my parents to Voldemort, my childhood to Dumbledore and am in danger of losing my precious world because of the in adept Ministry of Magic.
I have sworn today that I will not lose more. I have now become an adult and have decided to wage a war, a war where I do not wish to kill or control, but fight a war for my freedom and the freedom of my world – our world from these terrible manipulators. Come, join hands with me my fellow wizards and let us strive to make this world a better place.
To Be Continued….
Harry read this aloud a bit nervously and then looked around for a reaction. Arran looked very impressed. "You have gone straight for the kill, fantastic."
Snape nodded, "It will be for the good Arran. Harry is going to take on a new role from tomorrow and it will be for the best if he makes his position clear. By denouncing the Dark Lord and Dumbledore he had opened an area that is neither the white as self portrayed by Albus and nor the black as the Dark Lord is painted by everyone. Harry will be the comfortable grey that anyone can approach without fear."
Sirius and James nodded too. Lily though looked worried.
"Harry you are attacking left and right dear. You will be asking for powerful enemies who will come out in the open."
"That will be better Lily rather than have a Dumbledore who happens to care for Harry so much that he wants to break him." James snorted.
Sirius nodded too and grinning he asked Remus to read their paper as well.
Hermione and Draco had written a research paper about blood purity, and while it was dry and slightly boring it contained important information for the pure bloods. They had made it very analytical and almost impossible to contradict.
Then Remus cleared his throat and read their paper.
Open Letter No1 to good old Voldie Baby….. Oooh!!!
"Now when all of you read the headline good old Voldie baby, you are probably thinking about a nice chubby little baby with fat buttocks, chubby cheeks and dimpled chin and lovely blue or in our case, lovely green eyes (because green is the color of our child's eyes; YES! Our baby is none other than Harry Potter and I am James Potter who is dictating this along with Sirius Black to our good friend Remus Lupin from my portrait) but good old Voldie means ooohhhh! OHNO!! Voldemort!????????
He unfortunately was a very ugly baby. NO! I did not see him as a baby sixty eight years ago but my son Harrykins saw him as truly ugly baby at the graveyard when he was resurrected to his ugly body.
Before he resurrected he was a half blood and a mad man. After he resurrected he was still mad and lost his humanness and became a CREATURE!!!!! HOW? READ ON!!!!!
At the graveyard Voldemort performed a ritual to bring his body back. So he asked his good slave Peter Pettigrew, YES the very same Peter to whom the STUPID Ministry gave an Order of Merlin 1st Class for betraying us to Voldie baby. And because my wife who is also here in the portrait will not let me write it down I will give a hint.
It is a four letter word starting with the letter 'F' and I also show the middle finger to both Peter who betrayed us and the Ministry who is brainless and to Dumbles who should be sacked as the Headmaster of Hogwarts and the Leader of the Light for not making proper enquiries and allowing the imprisonment of my brother Sirius Black unfairly for thirteen years. I demand compensation from the Ministry and Dumbles.
Now as I was saying before I got sidetracked was that Voldie after a ritual at the graveyard dug out the bones of his dad, demanded the flesh of a traitor called Peter, whom Voldie forced to cut off his hand and the blood of my son whom he abducted and bound to a tombstone. Voldie made Peter slit Harry's arm to remove blood and then he churned it all up in a cauldron and jumped into it and became VOLDIEEE. HOW??? Well we do not know the incantations, I am afraid.
The open letter begins here after the introductions -- Now since Voldie baby has the blood of my son, the flesh of Peter and the bones of his dead muggle father, VOLDIE!!! You have become a muggle by some more percent as the bones in you are muggle, you have become a half blood by some more percent because Petey the ratty was a half blood and by taking the blood of Harry who is a half blood, you have become more muggleborn rather than pure blood or even half blood.
Another thing about this taking of bones, flesh and blood sharing is VOLDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU OWE A LIFE DEBT TO YOUR FATHER, PETER AND HARRY. Do you understand? Peter is dead so the debt is null and void; you killed your dad, so you are a jackass, but you MUGGLE CREATURE!!! YOU OWE MY SON A LIFE DEBT. Harry will demand it the moment he meets you. YES!!!!!!! Harry will ask for your life and you must fulfill the debt or Merlin! My heart breaks for you Voldie, because if you do not fulfill the debt you will horror of horrors DIE!
Until next time when we will come up with another true but astounding theory about Voldie the Morty it is Goodbye from all of us here.
James Potter, Sirius Black (in a portrait) and Remus Lupin (alive and kicking on the floor)
Harry stopped and looked up incredulously at his father and Sirius who were looking very happy and satisfied with them and turned to Arran and the others. They were rolling on the floor with laughter. Hermione was astounded and Snape was shocked as he gaped at the portrait.
"This is surely the best Mr. Potter, you have really done us proud." Arran told him in-between his laughter as the other Slytherins nodded. Hermione looked very disapprovingly at them and Snape turned to the portraits.
"See Severus, we have made a joke of him. Really. We are trying to reduce the fear and in that we have given a very serious message to him. Now this I hope will open a Pandora's Box and start discussions about whether Voldemort really owes a life debt to Harry. He cannot kill once he is aware in his mind about it. Now we have created that confusion and doubt not only in his mind but also in the minds of the death eaters." James explained.
Snape nodded thoughtfully trying not to look impressed. "It will do that and if the Dark Lord reads this as he surely will, hell I will take him a copy, and then he will want to stay away from Harry. We can even suggest that since Harry and he have coexisted all this while, the Prophecy can maybe worked around. Yes, this has possibilities."
Suddenly the marks started burning and Snape and the others de-scented themselves and left
Snape had been disregarding Dumbledore's orders to come to Grimmauld Place all day, but just before he left, Snape sent a Patronus saying he will come with Harry to Grimmauld Place next day at lunch time because now there was great danger.
Harry walked through the floo to the Lovegood residence and handed over the articles for printing and spent some time with Luna and her father. He was about to leave after thanking them, when Luna stopped him, "Harry you have not asked for my oath." She told him dreamily.
Harry flushed, "Luna I trust you." He began, hesitant to ask her an oath when he had not told her anything that would warrant one, but Luna shook her head and knelt down her eyes clear and sharp all of a sudden, "I Luna Xarina Lovegood swear on my magic I will never betray you."
"Me too, so mote it be." the voice of her father said clearly as held his wand to his chest.
Harry was touched and he knelt down, "I accept and in return promise to protect you and your father to the best of my ability." He said softly making her and her father smile.
Harry said his goodbyes and requested them to send a few free copies to a few Slytherins and others in the Ministry and the Order and told them he would await his copy eagerly the next day and went back to Godric's Hollow to sleep.
Harry went to sleep for the first time in living memory in his own home and on his own bed. He had given a room to Hermione, Remus whom he had simply ordered to move in bag and baggage by asking Dobby to bring all Remus's things from Grimmauld Place and Snape who had the room next to Harry.
Before he crashed for a well deserved slumber, Harry took out his parchment and wrote the Slytherins who had taken the oath in the dungeons for the first time, giving them their first order.
Harry slept peacefully the moment his head touched the pillow.
