"I've already told you" Amelia Bones told Fudge for what felt like the hundredth time today "you cannot charge Lord Potter"
"But why not?!" The man threw his hands up in the air with exasperation
"Like I said, his crimes were committed outside of our country so we have no right to charge him on them and those in charge of the countries where he has committed those crimes have given him full pardons"
"But the boy used unforgivables" Dolores Umbridge reminded her with a triumphant smirk on her face
"That's as maybe but he used them in an act of self defence against the worst dark lord that Britain has ever seen" Amelia Bones sighed "It's a clear case of defending himself and his brother. You can take him to court but should it prove that he did indeed do it only in self-defence then you will make us all look like idiots for wasting time to prove something we already knew"
Fudge couldn't deny that, but he needed to get Harry Potter out of the way. The boy had shaken up everything! First it was revealed that Voldemort was back! What was he supposed to do with that?! Then it was revealed that Harry Potter was the real boy-who-lived, this caused an uproar among the magical population which had spent years praising the wrong boy.
It made the ministry look incompetent by not knowing who it's saviour was, what also made it worse was the fact that the boy was a murder who had killed multiple purebloods. And the boy was also some kind of snake monster!
This was bad, people were going to lose faith in him now that Voldemort was back. That Potter boy was probably working with Dumbledore in order to get him replaced and let Dumbledore take the job. No! He couldn't let that happen. He was the minister, not Dumbledore.
No, the wizarding world needed him. He was the best damn minister they had ever had. He could surely lead them through this crisis, it can't be that hard.
Amelia Bones waited for the walking chocolate and toad, as she referred to Fudge and Umbridge, to leave. She immediately began writing a letter.
"Dobby" She called once the letter had finished, the house elf popped in
"Yes miss bonesy?" Dobby greeted
"Deliver this to your master please" She requested politely, Harry Potter had made it very clear to her that he wouldn't tolerate any disrespect against his family and if that included this house elf then she wasn't about to judge.
"Right away" Dobby took the letter and popped away
"Sweet Merlin" She took out a bottle of fire whiskey as she thought about what would happen to Fudge and Umbridge after they earn the wrath of Harry Potter "almost feel sorry for them….almost. That's probably the whiskey talking, hope he at least terrifies Umbridge"
The next order meeting happened a few days later, Harry attended just like last time. He sat in the back, crossed his arms and relaxed. Mrs Weasley was scowling at him but kept her distance. Soon Dumbledore arrived, he looked like he was trying to avoid looking at Harry.
"Hello Dumbledore" Harry said in a sweet voice with a wide smile on his face, but the headmaster ignored him and sat down. Soon Snape arrived.
"Severus" Dumbledore spoke to Snape "do you have any important news for us?"
"Yes" Snape nodded "the dark lord is still recovering from his injuries as the hands of Mr Potter"
"You're welcome" Harry commented "what about Red? What's he doing?"
"He has acquired a pensive and has demanded a memory of your fight" Snape answered "he watched it, then emerged from the pensive laughing. All he said was 'he's gotten stronger, of course he has'. I have no doubt that he was talking about you"
"Well, it is true that I picked up some new tricks since me and him last met"
"What happened the last time you met?" Sirius asked
"I tossed him in front of a truck" Harry answered
"Wait what?!" Remus blurted out as many looked at him with shock
"Long story" Harry sighed "did Red say anything else?"
"Yes" Snape answered "he told the dark lord and his followers not to bother trying to ally the vampires to their side"
"Why not?" James asked
"Apparently they aren't willing to go against you're son for some reason" Snape replied
"Vampires? Oh shit" Harry groaned "not them again"
"You have experience with vampires?" One member asked
"Let's just say it's safe to expect a visit from a few of them"
"Mr Potter, you are keeping a great many secrets from us" Dumbledore said
"Are you going to pretend you aren't doing the same thing?" Harry shot back "I'm not the one who didn't tell anyone about the prophecy"
"Mr Potter, I have doubts that you even heard the actual prophecy"
"Seventh month, defy three times, mark as equal, power he knows not" Harry replied and Dumbledore's eyes widened when he realised that Harry actually did know the prophecy "shall I go on?"
"No" Dumbledore shook his head "I couldn't tell anyone about the prophecy, if Voldemort or his followers knew then…"
