~Tired but unable to give up since I`m
Responsible for the lives I saved
The play is done
The curtain`s down
All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
Lost in my own world
Now I care for dead gardens ~

When Harry arrived at the Ministry the whole staff was assembled there. They all had been told about the previous events and were happy, but also curious at what the hero had to say. The hero, however, didn’t make any announcements or tell them about his victory. He just walked past the waiting mob and headed straight to Fudge’s office. He didn’t have to walk that far as the minister was already in the lobby to greet him. Harry took something out of his pocket and threw it at Fudge, who caught it and then, seeing what it was, nearly dropped it.
“It’s Voldermort’s ring. I took it as a prove that I’ve killed him. He’s gone. I need you to sit down,” at the moment he said that a table with a chair appeared out of thin air, “and listen to me. Under your command things have been going downhill at The Ministry. Frankly, you’ve messed up. You’re not qualified to be the Minister of Magic. So I need you to sign this,” a scroll of parchment appeared in Harry’s hand which he placed on the table in front of Fudge. “This is a document in which it says that you resign and assign Arthur Weasley as the new Minister of magic.” There were noises of protest all across the lobby and Fudge turned red with anger.
“If you think you can just walk up here and command me around you are mistaking kid.”
Harry let out a dry laughter that had nothing of joy in it and suddenly banged with his thumb on the table, making Fudge jump. “Kid? Do you know what awful things I can do to you if I even made Voldermort afraid?” His anger disappeared as soon as it had come. “But there’s no need for that. Who do you think people would follow if they would have to chose? The hero who has killed Voldermort or the bureaucratic bastard who kept telling them lies, afraid to do something himself about a thread that hang above their heads? I’m just giving you a choice between a honorific retreat on health grounds or public humiliation.”
Fudge mumbled curses under his breath, but took out a quill and signed the document. When he was done, Harry snatched it away an turned towards a perplexed looking Mr Weasley.
“I hope you will accept this sir. If you’d rather keep your current job, I know you love it, I trust you will assign the right person for the job. I leave it to you. Though I must ask you and The Ministry to do something.”
“S-sure. We’ll do what we can,” answered Mr Weasley a bit shaky.
“Percy write,” Harry shot at the boy who was standing in a corner, trying to look invisible. He fumbled with his bag and took out a parchment and quill. “First, Sirius Black’s name must be cleared. The Ministry must give him a full pardon. He died a hero and everyone has to know the truth. Second, Dementors must be exiled, I don’t care to where. They are too dangerous to be guards of Azkaban. Take side with the evil too easily. Speaking of Azkaban, the third thing I want to be done is increase guards at Azkaban. The Death Eaters must be severely punished, but they all have to get a fair trial.” There was some murmur in the crowd, but Harry didn’t pay attention to it. “ I don’t want the same thing that happened to Sirius happen to anyone else. Ask Snape for veritaserum or something. Alright that was all Percy. Now pray that you’re father won’t fire you, because if it were me you would be on the street in no time. Learn where your priorities lie.”
Harry turned to Dumbledore. “Sir, you were my first choice, but I know you won’t leave Hogwarts. And Hogwarts can’t miss you.” Then, without a word, he headed for the elevators. Hermione, Ron and Lupin followed him. They got out and the elevator told them that they had reached The Department of Mysteries.
“Harry why are we…?” But Hermione might as well have spoken to a wall. Harry didn’t even acknowledge that the three of them had followed him. He moved further and further thru the dark corridors until he came to a halt before a door they all had seen before. Walking through it they ended up in a circular room with closed doors all around them. Somehow Harry chose the right door immediately. They stood at the top of the round shaped room with benches that were leading down. In the middle there was something like a stage with an archway in the middle of it. They were in the Death Room.
Harry slowly descended the benches like he was in a trance. His three friends stood watching until he started to climb the steps of the stage. Then Lupin dashed down, ready to hold him back if he would try to jump into the archway. He wasn’t sure if he could hold him this time though. Harry was much more powerful now. But holding him back proved not to be necessary. When Harry reached the arch his knees buckled and he fell to the ground, only his outstretched fingertips brushing the veil.

He was brought to St Mungo’s and examined there. Lupin and the others were told that he had used up too much magic and was simply drained from all life energy. He needed to rest and regain power. There was nothing they could do. The mediwizards didn’t even know how long that process would take. It could as well be years. Even though staying by Harry’s bed had no use at all, none of the people who cared about him wished to leave his side. So they had set up a visiting schedule. Molly, Ron, Hermione, Remus, Neville and Ginny all took turns to stay with him. Dumbledore, Hagrid, Arthur, the twins and a lot of other students visited as often their job or study would allow them.
Harry stayed in a coma for over a month.

A/N: Very short chapter, because I’ve chosen to split one chapter in two. That fits the story better I think. Please R&R
