CHAPTER 9 REPERCUSSION

POTTER MANNOR, HERMIONIES BED ROOM – 2300 hrs

Hermione was set in bed partaking in her usual holiday bed time ritual, curling up in bed with a cup of tea and a good book. Tonight she was beginning to re-read J.R.R Tolkins classic 'The Hobbit'.

She had been reading for over an hour and she was considering settling down for the night when Harry burst into her room complitely naked and babelling incoherently.

Hermione couldn't help but stair at her best friends impressive physique. Years of quiddich training had chiselled Harry's slim frame so that his muscles where well defined and bulging.

She cast her eyes down towards his mid-section and bit her lip.

'For goodness sake!' She thaght to her self. 'Say something!'

"Harry what the hell are you doing?" She demanded. "And why arnt you wearing any clothes?"

Harry looked down and blushed and used his hands to cover his modesty.

"Bollocks!" He cursed.

"Quite" Hermione agreed with a smile. She climbed off the bed and walked to the door behind Harry closing it genitally, then she took her dressing gown off a hook on the back of the door. She draped it over Harry's shoulders after taking a look at his rear. 'Nice arse' she thaght.

"Now tell me what has got you all worked up." She ordered sitting on the bed motioning for him to join her.

Sitting next to Hermione Harry explained about the dream and the Knights of Destiny.


POTTER MANNOR 0730 hrs

Harry had filled Remus and Tonks in about his dream over breakfast.

"So you say these Knights of Destiny have existed for hundreds of years?" Remus asked buttering some toast.

"Thousands more like." Harry replyd. "I think we need to know more about them."

"And for that we need a library" Hermione added. "Except the only library I know about is in Hogwarts."

"Their is a library in Hogsmade." Tonks told her. "but it's risky. We should stay away from Hogwarts for the time being and we don't need to do any thing dangerous for some thing that could turn out to be just a dream."

"It was not just a dream!" Harry said adamantly. "I Cant explain how I know, I just do."

"All right." Tonks considered. "But it could be Voldamort planting visions in your head again."

"My scar isn't hurting!" Harry snapped getting annoyed.

"I'm sorry Harry. I'm responsible for your safety and I cant take any chances. Tell you what. I'll bring you a Pensive from work you need one any way, and we'll all look at your vision and if it's on the up and up we will plan a trip to Hogsmade."

"That sounds fair." Harry accepted. "In the mean time we can check out the Potter family library It's in the West Wing right?"

"The Marauders wing." Remus said with a smile.


MLE HOLDING CELLS 0900 hrs

Vurnin Dursly had been beside himself. He had been taking into custody two days ago and he had yet to receive a visit from his solicitor.

As vurnan finished his breakfast his cell door opened and a man wearing pin striped robes entered and the door closed behind him with an ominous clink.

"Mr Dursly?" the man began. "I am Wentworth Abrusky, your Ministry appointed solicitor" He said extending his hand.

"Where is Howard Bancroft?" Vurnan demanded. "He has been my solicitor for twenty years."

"I'm afraid Mr Bancroft is not on the list of Muggles 'In the Know' as it where, Mr Dursly I am all you have. I will be representing your wife and son as well."

"Patunia and Dudley are hear?"

"Yes" Abrusky replied.

"I want to see them"

"That is impossible at the moment."

"I DEMAND TO SPEAK THEM AT ONCE SIR!" Vurnan roared.

"I am afraid that until you have all been questioned that can not be arranged. I will try and orange something for tomorrow, provided you co-operate with the Auros." Abrusky explains "Right now you have more pressing concerns The charges against you are serous and I am told the MLE have pritty damning evidence against you. In half an hour you will be questions about your involvement in the treatment of your nefiew. I should warn you that if the instigators believe you are not being truthful they will pertition the Court to administer a powerful truth potion." He continued. "This is fairly ruteen and given the affection many in our world holds for Mr Potter in all likely hood the request would be granted. With that said is their any thing you would like to tell me?"


THE LYBRERY, POTTER MANNOR 0945

Harry, Hermione and Remus had moved to the library after they had finished their breakfast.

For an hour they aimlessly looked thru the library seemingly endless volumes until Remus called them all together for a cup of tea. As Harry and Hermione sat down he pulled a fresh sheet of parchment towards himself.

"We'v been going about this all wrong." Remus announced. "We let our enthusiasm get the better of us. The Potter library contains over three hundred thousand volumes spread out over three library, not to mention a vault in Gringotts. We could search for months and not actually come up with any thing useful." He explains "What we need to do is focus our selves on specific arias. So Harry can you tell us any thing specific about the Knights of Destiny?"

Harry thaght for a moment.

"They where a unit in the Army of Light, what ever that is."

Remus wrote this down and motioned for Harry to continue.

"The Monk said they where made up of Muggles and Wizards."

"Good. Thats very unique." Remus said taking notes. "Any idea how old they are?"

"No, but the Army of Light has been around since Biblical times."

"All right. Then I think we should focus our attentions on the Army of Light, that might give us more information on the Knights of Destiny Saffi?" He called.

"Yes Mister Reemy?" Saffi said Popping in. "Would yous be likeing more tea?"

"No thanks saffi." Remus said. "We are doing a little research project. Do you know how many volumes in the Potter library mention the Army of The Light?"

Saffi seemed deep in thaght for a moment.

"Their be Thirty Seven volumes which be having mentions of the Light Army. There is also one volume dedicated soaly to the subject." Saffi told them.

"Thats grate." Harry said. "Can you bring the books to us?"

"This will be difficult Master Harry. They are all in Gringotts. Your Custodian must submit a request in writing."

"Remus is Harry's Custodian." Hermione said. "Dose he need to know the specific titles?"

"No Miss Hermioniny. Just the subject." Saffi explains

Remus was already writing.

Dear SanCrock,

please allow Mr Potter's financial elf Willy access to the Potter library vault to withdraw thirty eight books concerning the Army of Light.

Yours

Professor Remus Lupin
Potter Trust Custodian

"Willy?" Harry called. As Willy entered the library Harry handed him the note. "please take this to SanCrok at Gringotts and bring back the books he gives you."

"As you wish Master Harry." Willy said popping away.

"I guess all we can do now is wait." Harry said buttering a cheese scone.


MLE INTERVIEW ROOM SEVEN 1000 hrs

Vernan and Wentworth Abrusky where shown into Interview room Seven by a surly custody Auror

The room was a small concrete cube with four chairs and a small wooden table. The walls where bare and the room was cold.

After a few moments Aurour Sargent Tonks and Aurour Dwalish entered the room. Tonks sat across from Vurnan and Dwalish took his seat across from the solicitor Toks pulled a scroll of parchment from her pocket and a dictor quill. She tapped the quill with her wand and placed it on the table.

"Interview with Vurnan Dursly" Tonks began "arrested on the suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm against a Magical Minor and Child abuse. Present are Auror Sargent Tonks,"

"Auror Dwalish" Continued Dwalish "and the suspects solicitor..."

"Wentworth Abarusky." Abrusky added. "I would like to go on record as protesting Mr Durslys arrest. It would appear this would be a case for the Muggle Authorities."

"Duly noted." Tonks replyd formally. "Mr Dursly under what circumstances did you and your wife become guardians of one Harry James Potter?"

"He was abandoned on our door step in the middle of the night." Vurnan replyd.

"And this was on Halloween night, nearly sixteen years ago?"

"Yes."

"Why did you take the baby in?"

"Their was a note attatch to the baby's blankets."

"Who was the note from?"

"That Dumbel fellow. Teaches at that god forsaken school."

"Do you mean Professor Albus Dumbledore?" Dwalish asked

"Yes that's the one." Vurnan answered.

"and what did the note say Mr Dursly?" Dwalish continued.

"It said Petunia's sister and her husband where murdered..."

"That would be Lilly and James Potter?" Dwalish interrupted, Vernen nodded. "Please answer out loud for the quill."

"Yes."

"Did the note say any thing else?"

"It said that the boy would be safe with us, some kind of ancient magic."

"I see." Tonks took over the questioning. "Did the note say any thing about financial compensation?" Tonks asked.

"No." Vurnan said quickly.

"Has professor Dumbledore ever offered you financial compensation for taking Mr Potter into your home?" Tonks continued.

"No, of cores not." Vurnan said.

"So the Professor has never offered you so much as room and bored?"

"Sargent." Abrusky interrupted. "My client has all ready answer d that question."

"My apologies Mr Dursly." Tonks said. "Did you ever punish your nefiew?"

before Vurnan could answer their was a knock on the door and a Sargent entered.

"For the benefit of the Quill Auror Sargent Eddie Roberts entered the room."

"Excuse the intrusion." The Sargent said, "The Director wanted me to give you this." he continued handing Tonks a note.

Tonks quickly read the note and stood.

"Interview suspended 1030." Tonks announced and the quill fell still. "Eddie take Mr Dursly back to his cell." she ordered as she left the room.


MLE DIRECTORS OFFICE 1015hrs

Dumebeldore came to the Directors office later than he had expected. After reviving Harry's eviction notice that morning he was forced to arrange a new Headquarters for the Order and organize the evacuation of Grimauld Place.

He swooped thru the Aurors office returning the greetings he received. He knocked on the Directors office and entered with out waiting for a reply.

Director Bones looked up from her paper work as the chief Warlock eveterd the room.

"Albus," she said in suprise. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Good morning Amilia." He greeted takeing a seat. "I am hear to report a crime."

"Really? I'm sure the Duty Auror out side would be happy to help you." she told him.

"Normally I would engage the services of the Duty Auror." Dumbledore began. "How ever the matter is some what delicite."

"How so?" Bones asked.

"The purpitrator is rather high profile." Dumbledore said mystirusly.

"I dont wish to sound rude Albus, but I dont have time to play cryiptic guessing games. What happened?"

"yesterday after the reading of Sirius Blacks will I pulled young Harry Potter aside to see how the lad was bareing up. I'm afraid the conversation became heated and Harry cast a Perficitus Totalus on me." Dumbledore told her.

"Indeed." Bones commented takeing notes. "Are their any witnesses to the alledge attack?"

"Unfortunutly not to the attack its self. As I said we where speaking privetly. However the Gringotts cleaning witch revived me around nine PM."

"All right. That should be easy to verify. However with out any witnesses prosicution could be difficult."

"I have taken the liverty of provideing you with a memory of the attack." Dumbledore said handing over a vile of silvery liquid to the Director. "And I am sure you will find it enriched with detail."

"Thank you." Bones said. "Is their any thing else?"

"I have heard rumors that you have Harrys relitives the Durslys in custody?"

"I'm afraid I cant disguss an on going investigation Albus, but I assure you I will give the Harry Potter incident my full attention." she said hopeing Dumbledore could take a hint.

"Very well." Dumbledore said standing. "I can see you are buisy. I shall leave this in your capable hands." He finnished leaveing.

Bones hastaly scribbled a note on a scrap of Parchment.

Tonks

The old man wishes to bring charges against the boy.

Bones.

She folded up the note and went to her door and called over the first person she saw.

"Roberts! Take this to Tonks in interview room seven and tell her to get in hear now!" she orderd.


MLE DIRECTORSS OFFICE 1035 hrs.

Tonks respectfully knocked on Madam Bones office door.

"Come" came the tares reply. Tonks enterd and stood to attention. "You havent been honest with me Sargent." Bones accused standing. "Did I or did I not order you to keep me up dated on every thing to do with Harry Potter's case?"

"Ma'am" Tonks replyd looking directly at the wall about two inches above Bones left shoulder.

"Then perhaps you could explain to me why Albus bleeding Dumbledore was just sat in my office trying to levell assault charges against Harry Potter?" Bones demanded.

"I was going to tell you about the altercation between Harry and Dumbledore during our breifing this afternoon." Tonks told her.

"Very well sargent." Bones sighd. "At ease." she said waveing Tonks to a seat. "Tell me exactly what happened between Potter and Dumbledore." She orderd.

Tonks repeted the story Harry had shared the previus evening at dinner.

"All right." Bones desided after a moments consideration. "This is your case Sargent. I want you and Dwalish to review Dumbeldores memory then bring Potter in this evening."

"You want me to arrest Harry?"

"The evidence indicates that Potter has commited a crime. Bring him in for a night in the cells, interview him first thing in the morning and take a memory. I am sure Potters version of events will differ grately from Dumbeldores, that should be enuff to get a Venitisirum order." Bones explaind. It dawnd on Tonks what the Directors plan was.

"Yes Ma'am. I'd like to request over time on this investigation. As you know my case load is currently large and I have several interigations to conduct today." Tonks said with a smile.

"Granted Sargent." Bones said returning the smile. "Get to it." she orderd dissmission Tonks.

So thirty minits later they where say on the back lawn of Potter Mannor finnishing sandwiches and drinking Butter Beer.

"Before we go back inside." Remus began takeing a sip of his drink. "Do ither of you have any thing to share?"

"I do." Hermione said. "The Army of Light dates back to Biblical times. It is said the Army origonally consisted of just thirteen members."

"Do you know who they are?" Harry asked.

"The Twelve Deciples and Christ." Hermione said.

"So we are talking about some very antient magic." Remus mused. "Harry, do you have any thing to share?"

"Yeah. I found the first incarnation of the Knights of Destany." Harry said triumphantly. "Led by Mirlin and Sir Lancealot the Knights where also known as the Knights of the Round Table. After the defete of the Dark Lady Morgauna the knights of the Round Table where inducted in to the Army of the Light and re named the knights of Destany."

"Harry thats amazing!" Hermione gushed.

"It's certanly interesting." Remus said. "You two keep at it. I think I know about abook that can help us, but I'm going to have to be gone over night at least."

"Where are you going?" Harry asked.

"I cant tell you Harry. But I will be back by Dinner tomorrow evening." Remus said standing.

He bid Harry and Hermione a quick fare well and huried back to the Mannor.

Within seconds the trator scurried into the room and knelt before his master.

"You called My Lord?" he said looking at the floor.

"Yes Wormtail. Whatr is the name of Potters Mudblood?" Voldamort asked his voice silken.

"Hermione Granger My Lord." Wormtail replyd.

"Good. Yes. Very good." Voldamort smiled. "I have a task for you."

Harry

Authers notes time once again

I hope every one enjoys this chapter. Dumbeldore being a sneeky git again. what will happen to Harry? Where did Remus go? the Remus question will be answerd in our next thrilling installment which will be an all Moony speacial (think of it like an episode of Scrubs where JD passes off the monologe, but less funny)

ILoveGeorgeEads: Harry didnt wake up in Hermiones room naked, he woke up in his own room. This chapter starts out with that incidednt from Hermiones point of view, so I hope you follow it better. The idea of Harry running in on a suprised Hermione was just to funny in my head to not commit to paper/screens. Thanks

ROBERT-19588: The issue on weather I send Harry back to Hogwarts is up in the air at the moment, but I dont really fancey createing a whole new world for Harry to play in, especially the idea of Salem Accadamy, because I'm English and I dont know much about America. We dont know if Magonigal is even aware of Dumbeldore's treatment of Harry. I think we should hear her side of the story before we tar and feather her dont you? by the way Robert, did you know that the third review you sent is over 800 wirds long? I will take the ideas on bored and i certinly allready had some things similer in mind. thanks

flame55: Thank you, i'm glad you approve

TsukiyoTenshi: I think we see Harrys embarissment at the start of this chapter. by the way who else was suprised that Hermione was so cool about the whole thing? Im not sure what you mean about sceans. I clearly sepperate each segment in the chapter with the rule off thingy, and i did sub title the segmant as Harrys Dreams. Thanks for the review tho.
