entry 110 - hpatpprtb chapter 18
<- Chapter 17b
The next morning had James, Lily and Sirius all waking up early, at around the same time, for the same reason. The quickly ate their breakfasts, all wanting to go up to the Headmaster's office as soon as possible. They knew Albus wanted them to go yesterday night but they were not James and Lily Potter (and Sirius Black) for no good old reason.
They were going to spend time with their son and his friends, first, learning everything they possibly could about him. And they had to admit, they learned so much more than what the books told them about.
After they had their breakfast, the three of them slowly made their way to Albus' office, the walk a familiar one for James and Sirius, who could only grin at one another. However, as their walking led them closer to the office, their grins slowly faded, as their thoughts turned to the questions they had to ask.
For Lily, her questions were simple: Why my sisters, why not Sirius? Why does Harry show such power in the books, but yet in his classes, show nothing? Why does he not know about his heritage, his family, his world? As the questions came and came, the angrier the mother became, not wanting the answers, for fear of already knowing them, but needing them all the same.
For James, his questions were a little more different. Why did Albus have his cloak when he shouldn't? Why did Remus or Sirius not contact Harry? Did Harry know about the real vault, with all of the Potter items inside of it? Did Albus check on Harry, or was he really that daft?
For Sirius, the questions were plenty, and worrisome for anyone looking into his mind. Why did Harry not know about the prophecy when he should, why was he able to fight Voldemort so many times - which just brought on the question as to how Voldemort could have entered the castle so many times, when it's apparently, the safest place next to Gringotts - why did Albus not do anything to help Sirius, knowing that he was innocent, as he surely must've known about their animagi capabilities. Was Albus really daft enough to allow so many dementors on the school ground? Or host the twiwizard tournament, especially since it's been banned.
Each person had so many questions, and wanted the answers as soon as possible, which is why they had made their way to the headmaster's office. Before they realized it, they were at the opening to the office, and Dumbledore was waiting there for them.
"I've been expecting you," He said, the twinkle in his eyes gone, "Follow me."
It took another five minutes for the group of them to truly make it to the office, and not just the hallway. Once they had arrived, they had seen the chairs set for all three of them, and one look at Albus, who was about to ask them to, 'please, sit' and he abruptly shut his mouth with an audible snap.
"You have a lot of explaining to do, Albus." Lily growled, her fists clenching in anger. Her eyes, the beautiful emerald green that they were, were clouded with anger, making them a much darker shade of emerald, and which normal people would step back from. Albus, however, was anything but normal.
"My dear Lily, it's all very simple."
"Oh really? So you, basically kidnapping my son, carting him off to relatives who would emotionally abuse him, making sure no one that matters checks on him and ignoring him, is simple?"
"You see-"
"Or how about, how about, you did all this, because maybe you figured he would believe that he would owe you something for taking him away from the Dursley's, and therefore, would do anything you asked him to, or feel the need to side with you constantly. After all, it is what you did with everyone else," James snarled, also angry.
"And let's not get started on what you put me through Albus." Sirius snarled also, "Twelve years, and I won't get into anymore, because it'll spoil everything for Prongs and Mrs. Prongs, but twelve years Albus, despite the fact that you must have known the truth." Albus had remained quiet through the threes tirade, trying to find a way to place the blame somewhere else, but not making it seem more suspicious.
"Or how about the fact that you hired a teacher that you bloody well knew would be completely unfair towards Harry the moment he walked through the doors because of his history with Harry's actual relatives?" Lily shouted, still angry enough to be wanting to burst with all of her questions.
"Well?" James said, his fists tight.
Albus was luckily enough, saved by the door opening and someone talking. From the sound of it, it was Dolores and Cornelius and looking caught, Sirius quickly turned into Snuffles and walked towards James, so he could act like a normal dog. Not even minutes later did the two people from the ministry come in, alongside a silent Amelia Bones.
"Albus, most of the students are awake, and want to read the second book. Would you like to keep them waiting, or shall we go down?" Amelia questioned, looking over her list, which Albus tried to peek into. However, being a skilled legillimens herself, she stopped him and glared.
"We shall," He replied, nodding, while letting out a sigh and clasping his hands together. "I shall follow you all out," He said, somehow, the twinkle back in his eye. Amelia nodded, and the three ministry workers walked out while James and Lily stayed, glaring at Albus.
"This isn't over, Albus. If we find anything else to add to our list-"
"List?"
"Yes, Albus, list." James snarled, "We will come see you, angrier than we are right now." Lily finished in a snap before turning around and walking away briskly, with James and Sirius following.
Albus sighed, before going down.
