"Where's Harry?" Adrian wondered the next day as he sat in the great hall, he saw Umbridge at the teachers table and she appeared to be scowling for some reason. He wondered briefly if she realised that she somehow looked worse when she scowled, ah well, it's not like she would ever look better. At least not without keeping her original face, his mind was now trying to predict how many points he would lose if he suggested she adopt a diet of Polyjuice potions or undergo plastic surgery.
"I don't know" Rachel shrugged
"Maybe the ministry realised he would be better in cell in Azkaban" Ron said from a little way down the table, glaring at Adrian
"Well, the ministry has been known to make stupid decisions sometimes" Adrian said as he glared back "you'd know all about being stupid, wouldn't you Ron?"
Any further responses were cut off when light faded from the hall, leaving everyone in pitch darkness, a few people screamed with shock. Two seconds later, the lights returned and everyone could see again.
"What the bloody hell was that?!" Ron exclaimed
"Language!" Hermione hissed
"I believe that was English Miss Granger" A voice called, everyone looked towards the front of the hall and they gasped in shock when they saw Harry standing on top of the teachers table, right in front of the seat that Dumbledore usually sat on. "Hello everyone" Harry flipped off the table and took a few steps forward "you may have heard of me, I'm Harry James Potter, also known as Consequence to some. How are you all?" Silence filled the hall "Ah good, now I have to make a few announcements.
First of all, I'm glad to be back, I've missed Hogwarts. Secondly, yes, Dumbledore is in prison and that's a big weight off my shoulders. Just feel like I've accomplished a life time goal, you know? Thirdly, I will be leaving at random times to undergo assignments. Basically, if I go then I'm likely off somewhere fighting a death eater. With that being said, what I am for some of you, is a walking and talking oppurtunity. If you want to get through this war then I'd advise coming to me with as much information as you can possibly give, I won't reveal names to anyone and I will not betray your trust.
As of right now, I know exactly who in this school possess the dark mark. Don't bother trying to run away, I'll eventually find you and then I'll be too tired to play nice. Those with the dark mark, I know who you are and you have a choice. I'm giving you two days to work up your courage and come to me, you'll tell me all I want to know and then willingly tell the DMLE the same thing. At the end of those two days, if you haven't done that then I drag you there myself and if you try running then I find you and I hurt you.
If you don't believe me then ask Draco Malfoy, admittedly you may have to work on resurrecting the dead to do that unless you're already willing to take a one way trip to hell. For two days, I will rest, then...the hunt resumes. Now, to cap it all off, I just want to say to my brother Adrian, I love you but I am very tired so all I'm going to do is hug you then I'm going back to the common room to sleep"
Harry said just before walking down the hall and to his brother who got out of his seat and ran to meet him halfway, both brothers pulled the other into a bone breaking hug. Though the hug could actually be bone breaking if Harry had wanted.
"I missed you" Adrian sobbed into Harry's shoulder
"I'm sorry" Harry whispered soothingly "I really am, I really am tired though, I promise to spend time with you tommorow"
"Fucking better" Adrian sniffed as he let go and smiled at his brother
"Love you little brother" Harry smiled before walking out the hall, ignoring the looks from others as he passed.
Harry reached the Slytherin common room, he smiled when he saw it was empty except for two people, Daphne and Rose. They saw him enter and their eyes widened, he couldn't help the grin that dominated his face. He spread his arms out when a black haired missile tackled him into a hug. Rose had wrapped her arms around him tightly, showing surprising strength for a girl of her size. She cried into his shoulder, just like his brother had done before.
Harry was about to comfort her when Daphne also pulled him into a hug, he wrapped his arms around both girls. He didn't say anything, no funny jokes or witty comments. He stayed quiet as they cried their eyes out, he didn't know how much time passed before they let go. It could have been a few seconds or a few minutes, but he couldn't tell. He just let them have the moment.
Once they were done, Harry decided to start with Rose. He bent down slightly and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"You alright Flower?" Harry asked
"I missed you" She sniffed "please don't leave like hat again"
"I can't promise that Rose" Harry said honestly "but I will promise to try and keep my absences down to a few hours from now on. I love you, and I will never leave you. You're my little sister and you'll never be rid of me. That, I promise you. Okay?"
"Okay" She nodded
"Good, I love you Rose"
"Love you too" Rose whispered, Harry smiled, before standing straight and looking at Daphne.
"I missed you Daph" Harry said
"You better have" She said as she wiped her tears away "I'm guessing everything went well"
"Dumb as a door is currently in a magical suppression cell and the whole of the magical world now knows his crimes, or at least the ones I knew about"
"I'm glad" She smiled with teary eyes
"Daph" Harry said
"Yeah?"
"Just because you look beautiful when you cry, doesn't mean I like seeing you cry"
"You're still a prat" She said as she got rid of the last of her tears
"Your prat" Harry smiled at her before pulling her into a kiss "and I'll always be yours"
"Fucking better" Daphne said before kissing him back
"Ah, I see where my brother got it from" Harry commented
