HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 125 ]
🕑 Added 2024-10-16 09:44:48 +0000 UTCArriving back in Hogwarts Magnus immediately leaned against one of the walls as he rubbed his eyes tiredly as he rebuilt and reinforced his mental shields again.
Their walk from the auror department to the public floos had given him a chance to calm down and regain control of himself and now he wanted to slap himself for his stupidity.
What the bloody hell was he thinking letting his emotions get the better of him like that, blowing up at Fudge and Umbridge of all people.
Yes, it had been extremely satisfying to do but at the same time making an enemy of two of the people that hold two of the highest positions in the ministry was not wise, not in the slightest.
While he had intended to deal with them both in time he hadn't intended to do so for a few years yet, but now after his little blow out he knew that he'd be on their shit lists in the future.
Both were political animals and would use their influence to come at him from the shadows, Umbridge especially after he had threatened them with his family's influence.
Taking a breath Magnus pushed off the wall and stood up straight again as he pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind for now, at the moment neither of them posed a threat to him.
He had all his bases with Sirius covered; it would be guaranteed that he would be freed after his trial.
Dealing with those two could wait, he knew just how to deal with the pair of them and made a mental note to send a few letters off to get things started on that front later.
Now that he knew that it would be impossible to have either of them as pawns without the risk of them turning on him he'd see to their removal instead and he knew just the person to help him do so.
Andromeda stood behind Magnus as she watched him closely collect himself, she knew that he likely felt foolish for having let his emotions get the better of himself.
She had done so herself a few times in her younger years and remembered feeling mortified after calming down and remembering what she had said or done, such was the annoyance of growing up with the Black family magics it was why they started occlumency training so young to prevent such embarrassing outbursts later but given that magnus hadn't had the years of occlumency training that other Blacks had by his age she knew it would be harder on him to control himself like other.
"Are you okay?" Andromeda asked gently placing her hand on his shoulder as he straightened himself up.
Magnus sighed, "Yeah, I just feel like an idiot for blowing up in the face of the Minister of magic and pet toad." He muttered.
Andromeda snorted slightly at his comparison of Umbridge's appearance, "well it was deserved in a way." She mused.
Magnus smiled, "Yeah, but unwise, now they'll both be gunning for me after I threatened them like I did, it will give us more problems in the future."
Andromeda nodded but patted his shoulder, "a problem for the future," she reasoned.
Magnus nodded, "agreed," he said before looking forward, "I'll see you later, can you keep an ear out when Sirius' trial is to be held, I will be wanting to attend to make sure nothing goes wrong." He asked her.
Andromeda nodded her head gently, "Of course, but what will you do now?" she asked him.
Magnus looked at her and smiled slightly, "I promised Harry and Neville that I would fill them both in on just what is going on, I think I've kept them waiting long enough don't you?"
Andromeda chuckled and nodded, "I suppose so, go on then, just make sure you're back in the Ravenclaw dorms before curfew," she said as she gestured for him to go.
Magnus smirked and headed off leaving her watching him as he went.
….
It was half an hour later that Harry, Neville and Magnus all sat in the Gryffindor common room, with both Harry and Neville stunned speechless by what Magnus had just told them, neither boy truly knowing how to react to what they had just been told.
Harry sat looking down as he remembered everything that Magnus had explained to him, how he had wanted to know why his Uncle had betrayed his parents and asked to get a hold of a copy of his trial transcripts as surely he would have been asked that.
But then had begun to suspect something wasn't right with his Uncle's conviction when none turned up and had the matter looked into and how they had discovered that he had been sent to prison without a trial.
How they had come to the conclusion of how Sirius was innocent and that someone else had been the real secret keeper and how that had only left one person it could be and how they had come to the conclusion that Pettigrew wasn't really dead and had in fact been in hiding in his rat form posing as the Weasley's pet rat Scabbers for the past number of years.
Hearing that his parent's betrayer had been in the same room as him multiple times since coming to Hogwarts made Harry shiver as he thought about it.
But he was relieved to know that now the traitor would be put on trial and that his Godfather would be freed and that he would never have to return to the Dursley's once everything was cleared up.
Harry didn't know how to feel about that last fact.
While he knew that Sirius was innocent, he had never met the man, he didn't know if he felt comfortable about living with him.
But at the same time anything would be better than going back to the Dursleys.
"I want to be there," Harry said after a moment and looked up to Look Magnus straight in the eye, "I want to be there for the trial."
