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.
This story is not abandoned its muse just sometimes doesn't want to co-operate. I am glad that you like it as angsty as it is.

Chapter 25
Lucius had tried to talk to Xenos about Dumbledore but that had unfortunately resulted in a mental breakdown for his cousin.
Explaining the reasons for it to his cousin’s daughter was difficult but thankfully her Aunt Madam Aurora Greengrass and her consort Titus formerly of the House of Pucey could take her in. They had a daughter Maia who was nearly Luna’s age anyway…
Luna’s Greengrass relations were holding the Lovegood Estate in trust for her since Aurora Greengrass and Demeter Lovegood were twins born to Hera Lovegood and sired by Daria Greengrass.
The reaction from Xenos had infuriated Lucius even more and forced him to bring his suspicions to Xenos’ elder brother and Lucius’ solicitor Sancus.
Sancus was righteously indignant as well as furious that he hadn’t realised that Dumbledore had mistreated Xenos.
Sancus had taken charge of paying for Xenos’ care but had allowed the Greengrasses to take custody of Luna even if he had nearly equal claim to her physical custody.
Lucius was managing to become a true thorn in Dumbledore’s side rather then a mere irritant with Severus, Augusta and Septimus on his side especially when all three held Governor seats.
Emelia Bones wouldn’t be able to support Dumbledore any longer now that his true character was coming to light.
Lucius had ensured that Dumbledore being accused of sexually assaulting Xenos who was very much his junior was leaked to Rita. Not his cousin’s name of course but that Albus Dumbledore was being investigated by the Aurors for sexual misconduct with a former student…
Thank Salazar if the victim was underage at the time of the assault then there was no statute of limitations.
The reaction from the public was fury; some would not believe it while others wrote multitudinous letters to the Ministry, the Board of Governors and the Daily Prophet.
Possible Abuse of minors was a topic that caused people to react immediately and viciously…
Lucius normally wouldn’t dream of using it as leverage…
However, Albus’ compliancy in Harry’s abuse and assault by his former friend and Muggle relations coupled with the likelihood of his assault on his cousin was worth the damage to the man’s reputation.
Given Draco’s growing connection with Harry it was only a matter of time before Harry was officially part of the Malfoy Family.
That meant as Head of the Malfoy family and as Harry’s step uncle that he was duty bound to ensure that Harry received justice.
Sancus had already sued the Crouch Estate for the Illegal incarceration without trial by Crouch Sr. on behalf of the House of Black while he likewise sued for Harry’s suffering as part of the Tournament due to the Crouches involvement with Harry being a part of it.
The result was that Sirius received the larger portion of the Crouch Estate along with the title and the Governor’s Seat while Harry received monetary compensation for his being forced into the tournament. Augusta had filed suit at the same time against the House of Crouch for the assault on her son and daughter-in-law on Neville’s behalf while of course Emelia had awarded.
A case was pending against the House of Gaunt due to the Dark Lord being a descendant of that House for the deaths of James and Lily Potter, multiple counts Magical assault with the intent to kill against Harry, property damage due to the Dark Lord’s attack on the cottage in Godric’s Hollow.
Dumbledore had attempted to stall both cases involving the Dark Lord as well as the case against Peter Pettigrew …
When Peter was presumed dead without issue, the title had passed to Neville due to his being the male descendant of the nearest person of Pettigrew blood, Augusta. It would have passed to Frank but with Frank ineligible due to his assault by Crouch Jr. and the Lestranges it was Neville’s. it could have passed to her eldest grandson Neythen Robins but it seemed to belong to Neville due to his being Frank’s son.
After learning of her great nephew Peter’s involvement with the deaths of Harry’s parents, Augusta had paid a large sum in pain and suffering out of the Pettigrew estate to both Harry and Sirius.
Lucius was looking forward to the next meeting of the Board of Governors…
Given Minerva’s inability to stand up for the children against Albus, Lucius would not be supporting her as Headmistress…
He would be looking elsewhere…

Harry finished his first few assignments from Remus and Severus early so he set them aside so he could open his letter from Hermione.
“Dear Harry,
The one thing I have learned through therapy is
that I have not always been the sort of friend
I wanted to be. Professor Snape was right, you
and Ron were my first friends. I was worried
that standing up to Ron would make me lose
you both.
I should have protested more when I
realised that you were being mistreated by your
Muggle relatives. I let Madam Pomfrey and the
Headmaster convince me that it wasn’t that serious
and that you were being watched so if anything was
actually happening that it would have been
addressed before it got out of hand. Ron wasn’t the only
one who tried to invite you to stay. I was told over and
over that my home just wasn’t safe enough…
I know you tried to tell Ron not to be so cruel
after Pettigrew tried to frame Crookshanks for
his death. I did my best to repay you by helping you
with the Tournament last year. I really was worried about
you when you spent that lunch in Snape’s office, I just am
not good at showing it. Ron was terribly wrong to hurt
you and he should not have struck you.
My mind healer has helped me accept that being bent is
normal. Yes, I too am bent which is why I have a difficult
time mixing with my female peers, it was easier to hide with
you and Ron so I didn’t have to face the truth.
I know I haven’t been the best friend and I should have
encouraged you to work on your homework sooner rather
then let you both have me do your work for you. I promised
myself that I wouldn’t do it anymore after I was made a prefect.
I did keep that promise but I didn’t protect you enough when I
was supposed to protect all of the students. I tried to give up my
badge but I wasn’t allowed to. So I assigned myself detentions in
the infirmary to make up for it, even though I feel as if I’m still
falling short.
I don’t really know how to be a good friend instinctively but
my Mind Healer is helping me.
Please believe me: I do not blame you for my getting hurt.
It’s Ron’s fault not yours. It’s a strange badge of honour, I’m
not sure if I can ever bear it proudly but I want you to know
that you could never be responsible for what Ron does. I too
feel guilty for not protecting you better.
Draco was right; I should never have let Ron get away with
being drunk that day. I should have turned him in right away,
then he hopefully wouldn’t have attacked you the first time.
Then again, he likely would have tried because he was
determined to punish you for imagined betrayals. Harry you have
always been a far better friend then either of us ever deserved.
I hope you can forgive me for my involvement in your
mistreatment. If not then I do understand, I fear even with
my mind healer’s help I may never fully forgive myself.
Draco has been far more kind to me of late and has kept me
informed of your recovery which is in some ways as slow as
mine I suspect. Tell him please that I do forgive him for
everything before and I think he is good for you. He’s a good
friend Harry and he really seems to care about you. I want
you to be happy and if Draco makes you happy then I support you.
Hermione’
Harry’s eyes watered, this was Hermione’s second letter or was it third since he was whisked to Malfoy Manor?
It was the most honest perhaps of all of them…
Harry while he hadn’t been mad at her exactly, he had been feeling very distant even though Draco and Severus had chided him about taking his anger out on Hermione.
Harry knew that he wouldn’t have survived last year or ended up with such high marks without her support.
It was hard to comprehend that she didn’t hate him or blame him for her being injured by Ron for trying to protect him…
He put the letter aside, he would have to think how best to reply…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N: Harry from Herodotus? Harry can be taken as a nickname from Herod and Henry. Prince Harry of Britain was named Henry Charles Albert David but he's still called Harry. For that matter, how do you get 'Hal' from Henry? I can understand from Harold maybe but not Henry. Henry V of England was known as Prince Hal, Harry or Henry of Monmouth since he was born in Monmouth Castle.
Silver - You think my story is that good? Thank you! I hope you enjoy this update as much as the previous chapters of this story.
whitebuffalowmn - What is wrong with Dumbles? You mean aside from the power mad part of his character that wants to control everything and yet ignores morals because they are clearly for lesser beings? You'll have to wait to find out?
Jan - Of course Ron deserved imprisonment, not sure how long the Dementors will be allowed to remain in Azkaban though. Ron felt no remourse and was likely to attack again so he was unlikely to be capable of being rehabilitated. His mother's defences weren't helping at all and neither was Albus' foolish attempt to intervene. From this chapter Albus did something to Luna's dad, what exactly is still unrevealed but Albus is in serious dragon excrement isn't he?
BAFan - ch9. Pomfrey was in shock and she's not the smartest mediwitch in the world. Snape tends to be very strange when it comes to Harry. Especially when it is clear that someone went after Harry like Sirius used to go after him. I think that she'd tended Harry's immediate injuries as best she could, Harry had recieved some care so Draco and Severus' slight delay wasn't really troublesome.
Ch7. Than and then are troublesome...they don't get picked up by word as a mistake and they don't always jump out when rereading either. Ron Bashing is cliche but I don't like him, he has a temper, he hates Slytherins and he can't help but turn his back on Harry or be vicious. I merely exacerbate canon character flaws that's all. As for Hermione I prefer her because she's always stood by Harry in the books so I plan on having her be more supportive...
