Title: Firework
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairings: LuciusxSeverus, mentions of past/unrequited NarcissaxRegulus, one-sided HarryxDraco?, mentions of TedxAndromeda
Summary: A little AU after the First Task for all his apparent forgiveness of Ron for abandoning him, he's incapable of forgetting. The Triwizard Tournament forced Harry to grow up and changed the way he looked and things as well as what he focused on. Complete AU from the day of the Third Task. Harry doesn't want to participate in the Tournament; he has said he has no wish to win. What happens when he refuses to search for the Triwizard Cup?
A/N: The title is in reference to the song by Katy Perry. If fit the story so well when it came on the radio after I took a dinner break while writing. Prior to that song playing this fic had no name. Its just a random story idea that I couldn't shake but it seems to be shaping into a nice storyline.

Chapter 24- The Trial of Ron Bilius Nameless
“One that you need to stop using my nephew as a crutch.”
Of all of Andromeda’s pronouncements about him, that one cut the deepest.
He struggled to keep up with his studies, to eat properly according to Andromeda’s diet plan that included six small meals a day as well as snacks and potions. But it was the interviews with Ted that were the most draining…
Forced to recount his Hogwarts years, his feelings of betrayal regarding Ron and Sirius, his guilt over Hermione and Draco’s scars, his intense feeling on unworthiness due to the Dursleys’ treatment of him…
His ‘abandonment’ by his parents, his discomfort at the memory of how he almost was willing to kill an ‘innocent’ man out of revenge for their deaths and how upset he’d been at the news of Sirius’ capture and the judgement of the Dementor’s Kiss because they lost Pettigrew.
Some days they went over an incident that Harry had recounted before and on top of his potions to regain his physical health, Ted had him on potions to keep his guilt from overwhelming him. Though Harry was suspicious it was because they were sick of him locking himself in a dark room and wallowing in self-pity and self-hatred.
Using Draco as a crutch? That couldn’t be true…
Draco was the one person who had come and hauled him out by force and made him wake up. Draco still thought of him as beautiful, how he could when he had so many scars Harry didn’t understand fully but he was grateful that Draco could care about him.
It was nerve-wracking to have Andromeda examine his genitals even if Draco was there with him.
Aunt Petunia had been responsible for the scarring due to his being held in boiling water more then once when he was younger.
They had been forbidden from penetrative sex and Draco had to deliver a potion vial’s worth of Harry’s semen.
It had diminished the pleasure of being intimate together when they had that hanging over their heads…
Yet the result had been worth it…
Harry was not infertile but his sperm count was low…
Andromeda promised as soon as he was healthy enough that she would begin fertility treatments.
Harry would no doubt be grateful in the future but he felt that all the physical and mental prodding was annoying in the present.
He still brooded when he was alone but the feeling of crushing loneliness and guilt had lessened.
There were infrequent but worried owls from Hermione…
Ted had briefly mentioned that she was seeing a fellow mind healer a few weeks back but had said little about it.
As if determined to set a good example, Draco had returned to regular sessions with his own mind healer.
That made Harry feel as if it wasn’t so bad to need one…
But he would be grateful if Ted announced he was well enough to forego them, though he had little confidence that would even come to pass.
XoooooX
The fight for Ronald Nameless’ interrogation with veritaserum had finally been won.
Molly had tried to claim him as a Prewett but Gringotts told her that the Head of the Prewett family had denied it.
With Weasleys against her, it wasn’t any wonder that she was served within in hours of her last laughable defence being shot down that her bonding to Arcturus Weasley had been suspended.
It left all their children legitimate but for the two youngest…
Apparently, Ginevra and Ronald were not really Arthur’s and that was the legal basis of the contract being suspended.
On the heels of that was Molly’s disownment by Lord Prewett who had been living in seclusion.
Lucius would have been smug about it but he was more interested in the results of Ronald Nameless’ interrogation.
The veritaserum was brought into the courtroom and three drops placed on Ronald’s tongue by force.
“Name.” Kingsley Shacklebolt demanded.
“Ronald Bilius Nameless.” Came the dour tones of Harry’s attacker.
“Why did you attack Harry Potter?” Shacklebolt queried.
“To punish him. He dared to believe that he had the right to cast his affections on that of the blonde git Malfoy. He even dared befriend him. As if giving his Triwizard winnings away wasn’t cruel enough.” Ronald said with remoteness.
“Where did he give his Triwizard winnings?”
“To my former brothers Fred and George, they weren’t his best friend! What right did they have to them?” Ronald reported.
“Did you intend to injure The Honourable Draconis Malfoy, Viscount Whitechurch or the Muggleborn witch Hermione Granger?” Trial justice Lady Longbottom snapped.
“No but they shouldn’t have gotten in my way. Hermione deserved it for staying friends with the traitor. As for the ferret, well he was always preening and I heard I sliced up his face with his friend’s knife. The scars won’t ever heal so they’ll remember forever.”
“Do you feel any remorse for injuring your ‘friends’?” Kingsley asked.
“No. They betrayed me by mixing with the likes of Malfoy.” Ronald’s voice almost sounded like it held a sneer.
“What right do you have to decide who Harry Potter cares for?” Lady Longbottom thundered.
“Who better? What right does a Malfoy have to pervert the likes of The-Boy-Who-Lived? He’s a slimy Slytherin! He’s clearly up to no good. His father was a Death Eater! Everyone knows it. Why aren’t you seeing if Malfoy used a love potion or something nefarious to make him think he’s in love with Malfoy? Why bother me?”
“You violently attacked three persons and show no remorse. Would you have killed young Lord Potter if you hadn’t been stopped?”
“If Harry wouldn’t detach himself from Malfoy then he was worth more dead then alive. After all if You-Know-Who was really apprehended and was subdued without him, what use was Potter to us other then that of an oddity who didn’t die from the Killing Curse?” Ronald retorted.
“Due to your obvious guilt and lack of remorse given that you likely meant to kill Potter when you attacked three persons during a Potions lesson this court sentences you to life in Azkaban without the possibility of parole.” Lady Longbottom said sternly. “Administer the antidote and have him transferred to Azkaban immediately.”
Kingsley bowed, “At once Your Honour.”
Molly was silently sobbing into her handkerchief on the defence side of the courtroom while a stone-faced Septimus Weasley was on the prosecution’s side.
Lucius exchanged a nod with Septimus and they both left Molly behind as they headed for the double doors of the courtroom.
“Mum gerroff.” Ron’s grumbled.
They knew that Molly’d thrown her arms around him and was sobbing.
With Ron’s conviction, the expulsion would finally pass even if Dumbledore tried to fight it.
Then a rock was thrown into the clock works.
“Lady Longbottom, life in Azkaban? I think that is really too much.”
Dumbledore…
“Headmaster this is a legal matter, are you here as the Headmaster of Hogwarts or the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot?” Neville’s grandmother snapped.
“I have grievous concerns as both as to the appropriateness of his sentence.”
Augusta Longbottom glared, “This is my case! I feel that given the severity of his actions, his lack of remorse and his clear escalation of violence that it was a fair sentence. I really do not appreciate you waiting until after the sentence has been recorded to object. You have no bearing on the crime that precludes you from following simple courtroom etiquette...”
“You chose despite strenuous objections to interview Ronald in open court under Veritaserum. That isn’t typical court etiquette. Most would consider it a breech of such, so why?”
“Not that if is any of your business Albus but I wanted the truth in Ronald’s words.” Augusta said testily.
“You only asked him about the attack on his friend?” Albus frowned.
“Attacks plural.” Kingsley growled. “As well as test questions as to his name, date of birth, bearer, sire, year in school and the like.”
“Ah…” Albus said false serenity, “He is fifteen what about his rights?”
“At the time of his arrest the Head of his Family waved his rights.” Kingsley glared.
“Yes and at present he has been disowned by both the Houses of Weasley and Prewett so tell me if he really is disowned then why does he not have someone to stand up for his rights? A guardian ad litum?”
“His sole guardian didn’t request one and she hasn’t helped much in his defence other then calling him a poor little boy who doesn’t know any better. I raised a son and two daughters, they all knew better then to treat anyone even a friend better then this.” Augusta sniffed.
“Molly is not a solicitor, she has had little if any interaction with the law so how would she know about Ron’s rights?”
“She was more then welcome to do research and she had a court appointed solicitor.” Kingsley scowled. “As a mother I would have expected her to do everything to fight for her son legally.”
“So you railroaded both of them.” Albus mused.
Kingsley and Augusta were heatedly denying the accusation.
Septimus snarled, “Albus what are you doing! Augusta made a legal verdict.”
“Of course you would say that, you never liked Molly to start with.” Albus smirked, “You’ve wanted her out of Arthur’s life since she tricked him into bonding to her with the oldest trick in the world.”
Molly visibly flinched.
Septimus snorted, “I knew she wasn’t the proper sort of Bondmate for my heir, she didn’t have the right amount of character to be the Consort of a pureblood House. She clearly wasn’t much of a mother either if she raised someone like Ronald.”
“Yet you kept Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George?” Albus snorted, “What’s so different about them?”
“They at least have shown themselves to have decent character and have serious work ethics.” Septimus retorted.
“Excuse me, what is the point of this debate?” Lucius asked boredly.
“Stay out of this Lucius!” Albus snarled. “If your son had just kept his distance from Harry this could have all been avoided.”
“So it’s Draco’s fault that Ron is a psychopath?” Lucius snorted, “Draco has done nothing but help Harry, when he was falling into depression the first time it was Draco who helped him and Ronald who caused it. Draco has proved a far better friend then Ronald in the short time he’s been his friend.”
“Draco as in the same boy who wore the ‘Potter sticks’ and ‘Support the Real Hogwarts Champion buttons’?” Albus said snidely.
“Draco was younger and he laid off after the Second Task.” Lucius shrugged. “Harry Potter was far too young to be in the Tournament, in fact the rules stated he was and you let him stay in! He was a child fighting in a dangerous tournament that he could have gotten killed in. If you really were his guardian you should have gotten him out of it! Why are you fighting harder for Harry Potter’s ex best friend then for Harry? Harry hasn’t truly see Ron as his friend since the boy abandoned him after he was forced to be a champion. As Headmaster you’re supposed to know everything that goes on in your school, you claim to be the smartest and most magically talented wizard since Merlin, the famed Light Lord who thrice has refused the position of Minister for Magic. So did you force Harry to participate? Or send him back to those horrible Muggles.”
“Harry was safe there and what right have you to question my choices Lucius?” Albus hissed.
“I am still a member of the Board of Governors, I was only demoted from the Head of the Board not the Board itself as Augusta well knows.” Lucius retorted, “No Harry was not safe there, maybe from a weak Dark Lord but his Muggle relations were far more dangerous. As Harry’s guardian you have proven a poor one, I pity Ron if you are planning on appealing his sentence and standing in as his guardian.”
“Albus please! You have to do something…I can’t stand it if Ron is sent to Azkaban!” Molly whinged.
“I’m working on it Molly.” Albus said sharply.
“What is it between you?” Septimus scowled, “You’ve refused to have Ronald punished properly for every incident of escalating violence and your behaviour has resulted in harm to other child who were notably in your care as an administrator. Why are you putting Ronald ahead of your other charges? If I didn’t know about your decades long affair with Doge and your continual fight against Muggleborn inspired anti-Homosexual legislation I’d think you were a straight cradle-robbing git.”
Molly gasped, “Albus isn’t gay!”
“Wake up and smell the roses Molly, of course he is. The old man has an obsession with blondes! Every Malfoy has known and felt it.” Lucius shivered in distaste, “We just prefer not to pay attention. There is a reason he can’t help calling all blonde wizards by their given name, we’re just ever grateful that he hasn’t touched us. He has a preference for curls but blondes of any age is just fine.”
“I have never touched a student!” Albus said defensively.
Lucius snorted, “I didn’t say you did, I’ve felt your looks Albus, the lustful ones that make me feel filthy. I always worried that the reason that my cousin Xenos is so insane, he’s blond with curls unlike his twin Sancus. Then again Sancus always keeps his hair short with strong grooming charms…”
The look on Albus’ face was a toss up with guilt and fury.
Lucius growled. “If I find out you did touch one hair on Xenos’ head I’ll ruin you.”
“You’ll do no such thing!” Albus sputtered. “There is no proof. Besides, Xenos is a Lovegood now, he was disowned by the House of Malfoy.”
“Father disowned him, but Uncle Apollus hasn’t and how do you know I didn’t secretly pad the goblins to hush up reversal papers.” Lucius sneered.
“How dare you stand there and accuse someone like Albus of doing such a horrible thing!” Molly shrieked.
“How did my trial get so far from Ronald’s case? I resent the implication that I can’t make a proper legal decision without Albus hand-feeding it to like he does Fudge’s opinions.” Augusta growled, “I made my decision. I will not be accepting any appeals at this time. You are welcome to pay for and file on Molly’s behalf an appeal in six months. Case adjourned.”
“Now Augusta,”
“Albus Dumbledore I have had about enough of your disrespect! You have thirty seconds to decide to be silent or I will have you arrested for contempt just for irritating me. Good day!” Augusta rapped her gavel
To Lucius and Septimus’ relief Albus stormed out.
Molly was removed from Ron’s person and the surly violent teen was removed from the courtroom.
Molly of course ran from the Courtroom crying.
Lucius was just glad that Ron had been legally judged, sure the boy was fifteen but he was a very violent, vindictive teen. If he could turn on a friend, then who else would he turn on?

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
heartstar - I am still working on this. I'm sorry the update took so long.
unneeded - With Andromeda and Ted to handle his physical and mental health, plus his family to help with the emotional trauma Harry will be fine eventually but he will likely need Mind Healing for the majority of his life.
reader - Here you go!
Arithmancer - I'm trying to help Harry recover. At least with Ron locked up in Azkaban, Wormtail and Voldy arrested then Harry should feel a lot safer.
staar - You're hooked on it? Now I feel awful about the wait.
e.pressnell - Here you go!
