"Smart move minister" Sirius commented "take him away after he broke rules to save himself and his brother, funnily enough he is also the godson of an innocent man who has been framed spent years in Azkaban."
"Quiet Black!" Fudge barked, he didn't want to admit that Black was right and he was too far into this to get out "He is also a muggle hunter and had previously used the unforgivables"
"You can't charge me on either of those" Harry said
"Why not?!" Fudge demanded
"Because they happened outside of this country and I was given pardons for my acts against muggles and using the unforgivables from the governing officials of the countries where those acts took place."
"What nonsense is that?!"
"Well, unforgivables aren't really that unforgivable in America" Harry shrugged "speaking of which, Daphne, do you forgive me for using those spells?"
"Yes I do" She nodded
"You can't charge me with unforgivables, she forgave me, so they're forgivables if anything"
"Take him away!" Fudge growled, having had enough of listening to Harry
"Fine" Harry said as the aurors arrested "I want a quick and small trial"
"You can't make demands of me!"
"Poor service" Harry shook his head slowly before turning to his parents and friends "I want Andromeda to be my lawyer, floo her today and tell her to get her perfectly shaped butt to the ministry. Don't worry Daph, your butt is still my favourite"
"Thank you" She laughed, he did just survive Voldemort so she was going to let him have that one
"I think is should accompany you" Dumbledore said to Harry "and I am more than willing to represent you Mr Potter"
"I mean all the possible offense Dumbledore" Harry replied "but you're an old and wrinkly headmaster who I dislike while she's an attractive, likeable and intelligent lawyer, I'm pretty sure I'd prefer her"
"You do realise that because of your grandma she is somewhat related to you" Sirius said
"Hey, incest is win-cest" Harry joked, enjoying the look he was getting from everyone. Daphne slapped him on the back of the head "Ow, too far?"
"Too far, and not funny"
"Don't worry Daph, you'll always be my favourite" He kissed her on the forehead
"Forgiven" she kissed him back
"I'll accompany you" Alastor Moody said as he arrived, the real Alastor Moody who had actually started working as the defence against the dark arts teacher after Barty Crouch junior was captured.
Moody would not hesitate to admit that Harry Potter was his best student, heck the boy had more smarts than half the aurors he trained.
"That is unnecessary" Fudge began
"Unnecessary?" Moody cut him off "That boy is my best student, if not for him I would currently be in a trunk and held captive by a death eater and he was the one who fought Voldemort on his own while looking out for his brother. I think he at least deserves to have someone make sure that everything is done properly"
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
"You need better leashes, you're last one was loose, I'm assuming that's how that dementor was free enough to kiss Crouch junior " Moody said and Harry got the pleasure of watching the minister cycle through red to purple "come on boys" Moody said and the aurors followed him, taking Harry with them.
Fudge stood still for a moment before the verbal abuse from the crowd snapped him out of his trance and he followed after them.
...
The next day Adrian arrived in the great hall for dinner with Rachel by his side, he had spent the previous night and most of the day in the hospital wing under the insistence of Madam Pomfrey who wanted to be absolutely sure he was fine. A bit overboard in his opinion, seeing as Harry was the one who had gotten hurt but he was too tired at the time to complain.
Adrian was given a letter from some first year on the way to the hall which told him to meet his parents in the headmaster's office after dinner. Speaking of the headmaster, he couldn't help but notice how Dumbledore had ignored him and hadn't even came to visit him. He guessed that he just isn't worthy of the headmasters attention anymore, seeing as he wasn't the boy-who-loved anymore. Harry was right, as always.
"Hey" Adrian and Rachel found themselves face to face with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, they stood in front of them.
"Yes?" Adrian asked
"Well?" Hermione crossed her arms and tapped her feet impatiently
"Well what? Did you get new earrings or something?"
"I'm waiting for our apology" Hermione said as if it should be obvious
"Apology for what?"
"We were right" Ron said triumphantly "we told you that snake was evil and he proved it"
"How? By saving my life?" Adrian replied
"Adrian, he used to hunt muggles!" Hermione reminded him
"Maybe he did, but I don't think it's as simple as that." Adrian responded "Harry saved my life so I'm going to at least give him a chance to explain"
"But he's a monster!" Ron replied "You've seen him! He's bloody got snake skin and yellow eyes and…"
"And I owe him, he's also my brother" Adrian cut him off "I don't think he's evil and I'm going to talk to him and find out what happened in his past"
"But…"
"Honestly, just give it a rest" Rachel interrupted "he just gets out of the hospital wing after his brother saves him from Voldemort and his death eaters and you two are immediately calling him evil. What's wrong with you?!"
"What's it to you?!"
"I'm his girlfriend" Rachel reminded the pair "and it's my job to keep my boyfriend sane"
"Why are you even with him anymore? He's not the boy-who-lived" Ron pointed out
"I didn't get with him because he's the boy-who-lived" Rachel replied angrily "unlike you I have some respect for myself, come on Adrian" She grabbed Adrian's arm and pushed past the pair, the two walked up the Gryffindor table before sitting down.
"Thanks" Adrian whispered
"Don't worry about it" She replied
"Adrian" Ginny sat next to him "do you know anything about Harry? Do you know if he'll come back?"
"No, why?" Adrian responded
"I wanted to thank him for the chamber incident" Ginny answered honestly
"Oh yeah, he saved your life didn't he?"
"Yeah, unlike you he didn't call me dark at the time"
"Oh" Adrian grimaced "Ginny, I am really sorry for how I used to act back then and I…"
"It's alright" Ginny cut him off "you said you've changed and I believe you, the old you would've shouted to high heaven after finding out someone else is the boy-who-lived"
"Yeah, well Harry fixed me up real good" Adrian smiled.
