Chapter 155 - Umbridge’s reckoning

You can try and get the information out of him but he can't tell, even if you use truth serum or legilimency, magic will stop you from finding out. Now, we have a choice your honour, you can lengthen this trial or we could just end it without fuss."

"Very well" The judge grumbled, but Harry could see the slight upward curve in his lips "if you were permitted by magic itself then the voting system becomes pointless, Harry James potter, you are acquitted of all crimes past, present and future." The judge slammed his hammed won.

"Thank you" Harry grinned "but I'm not done, I'd like to charge Dolores Umbridge with child abuse and the illegal use of a blood quill"

The crowd fell into shock for the hundredth time that day, they all looked to Dolores Umbridge and Fudge who both paled. Harry walked over to Neville who handed him a stack of documents, Daphne then placed a vial on top of the documents. Harry walked to Amelia bones and handed her the documents and vials.

"Mrs Bones" Harry spoke respectfully "those are signed statements from students in Hogwarts and pensive memories, I'd also like Dolores Umbridge to be questioned under Veritaserum"

"How dare you?!" Umbridge screamed "I am…" She was cut off by Harry who whistled, the two Dementors flew up into the room and grabbed Umbridge, they pulled her away from everyone else and threw her into the chair which held her down with chains.

"Alright then" Harry walked over to Umbridge, he called for Stink and told him to bring some of the potion, Stink did so and Harry made Umbridge drink some.

"So Dolores" Harry spoke casually "did you use blood quills on students of Hogwarts?"

"Yes, I did"

"Did the minister know?"

"Yes, yes he did. In fact, he encouraged it" Fudge lowered his head, wishing that he could disappear or at the very least shut the bitch up.

"What other illegal and bad things have you done that the minister knows about?" Harry glanced at the pale Fudge before looking back at Umbridge

"Many things" She answered "I've bribed, taken money from lower employees and the ministry funds, but he had done the same. I've also blackmailed and threatened multiple ministry workers, and have used those tactics to stop laws that I don't like from getting passed, such as laws to help werewolves and other half breeds."

"Aren't you lovely?" Harry asked sarcastically "but one important question, are you a death eater or do you work intentionally work for Voldemort?" He flipped his wrist and his wand came to him.

"Why wasn't his wand taken from him?" One person asked

"We couldn't sir" An auror answered "his holster, turned invisible and we couldn't get it out of it no matter what we did."

"No" Umbridge shook her head "while I agree with many of his ideals, I dislike him due to his willingness to use werewolves and giants and other undesirable creatures."

"Ah damn it Dolores, you warthog faced imbecile" Harry stomped his foot "I needed an excuse to kill you, never mind, I'll settle for this"

Harry punched Umbridge in the face, blood squirted out and she fell unconscious. Many people in the court had different feelings about what they saw, some had a hatred of Umbridge and Fudge, some were amazed by Harry, some were terrified of him but mostly they were all jealous about how he got to hit Umbridge.

"Now" Harry turned to the court "I'll be leaving now, come on Ginny. Oh and Dumbledore you can send my exam results to my godfathers house, me and Ginny will not attend tomorrows leaving feast."

"Mr Potter" The judge spoke "what would you have done if everyone refused to make the vow and you were sent to Azkaban?"

"I'd escape" Harry said as if it was obvious "See you sir, come on Gin, we're going now"

Ginny leaped over the barricade and wrapped Harry in a hug, he reached a hand in the air and a Fawkes appeared momentarily before flaming the two away.

"So Ron" Neville whispered while everyone else was silent "don't you think it's lovely how Harry can now do pretty much whatever he wants without consequence?" Ron didn't answer, he just gulped.

The next day at Hogwarts Gryffindor won the house cup and quidditch cup, again, but that's not what was important. Everyone was talking about Harry, McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout didn't even bother to stop them. They actually stopped teaching during lessons and even began conversing with the students about it, Dumbledore didn't even bother with his end of year speech.

Once the summer holidays started a meeting of the order was called at 12 Grimmauld Place, Hermione and Ron were sent to their room along. The twins weren't there however, they had left their mother and moved into their shop in Diagon Alley.

Before the meeting started, Dumbledore went upstairs to talk to Ron and Hermione about Harry, those two didn't know anything so he went back down. As soon as he entered the kitchen he saw many of the order members standing stiffly, some even had their wands out, he turned to see the reason for this sitting in the chair he normally sat in during the meetings.

"Good morning" Harry said cheerfully, he was leaning back in the chair with his feet on the table whilst wearing his Curse costume but with the hood down. "Nice weather today, bit hot though. So, how are we all?"

"Harry" Dumbledore spoke "what are you doing here?"
