Sorry for this taking a bit of time to release. I’ve been rather busy as of late. This is the last chapter in his first year and
I’m not sure where I’m going to go with it next.
Chapter 8
No
one was pleased to be sitting before the courts, especially the vampires. Their attorney had assured them they had a
rock solid case. Having performed blood
rituals to make Harry their child had sealed the deal totally. All of their paperwork was in order but the
fact that they were vampires didn’t go in their favor. Dumbledore had told the ministry that their
home was not acceptable, that Harry was in danger, which couldn’t be further
from the truth.
“Doriel Janos Lior and Alexander Constantin
Lior, both vampires. What kind of
home could they possibly give to an eleven year old boy?” A ministry
representative was speaking; Harry was seated between Doriel and Alexander, the
boy having refused to be separated from them no matter how hard they tried to
get him away from them. He continued his
speech, throwing Doriel and Alexander into the worst light he could.
When
he was finished their attorney got to his feet.
His soft blue eyes looked out over those who would stand in judgment,
“Ladies and gentleman, we are here today because of one man believing that
these two people are not fit to raise a child.
What is does not seem to be grasped is the fact that they have raised
him, he has been in their custody since he was a mere babe.” He turned his eyes
on Dumbledore, “That man would like you to believe that Doriel has failed as a
parent.” He looked at Harry, “Tell me, does this boy look like he’s been neglected?”
He motioned towards him, “There is no standing for these proceedings, all of
the paperwork is in order, Harry James Potter is Aurel
Stefan Lior.” When Harry was called to the stand he was nervous, the speeches
from both groups had been long and had given him time to think about his
situation. If anything went wrong he could
find himself stuck with muggles who he was sure didn’t like him. Their attorney approached him, smiling,
“Aurel, how are you?”
Harry
smiled slightly, “I’m just fine sir, thank you for asking. Although I would rather be
home right now.”
“Yes,
I’m sure you would.” He paused, “How do you like living with Doriel and
Alexander?”
“I’m
very happy there. It’s hope. My father takes very good care of me.”
“Your
father, you mean Doriel?”
He
nodded, “Yes, he’s my father.”
“Thank
you Aurel.” He paused, “One more thing.
Do you want to leave them?”
He
scowled, shaking his head, “No, I don’t.”
He
was approached by the other man, “Living with vampires has had no affect on you
whatsoever?” He questioned, his voice wasn’t as kind as his father’s attorney’s
was.
“I’m
sure it has had an affect on me sir. I
was raised to be courteous and polite.”
“Have
you seen anyone die before? Be tortured
by the vampires you have been staying with?”
Harry’s
scowl deepened, “They have never done any such thing!” He shouted, the room
filling with raw magic at his anger, “They have never harmed me, never laid a
hand on me, nor have they ever harmed anyone who didn’t mean them or me harm in
my presence!” The representative was about to speak again when he was
interrupted, “I will not sit here and listen to you bad mouth the people who
have taken care of me for my entire life!”
“I
apologize if it seems that way Mr. Potter but we are only trying to get to the
root of the problem. It was never
intended for you to be raised by Mr. Lior; he removed you from your relatives’
home…”
“Relatives
who don’t really care what happens to me nor do they
truly want me. I could tell that much
from when I met them at the station. He
did what was best for me.”
“And
turning you into a vampire is best for you?”
Harry
narrowed his eyes, “I’m not one right now and even if I become one it will be
my choice.” He paused, looking over at Dumbledore before looking back, “I want
to stay with Doriel. I’m happy, well
taken care of, and I have a good life.” With that said he got to his feet and
moved over to sit between Doriel and Alexander.
The
hearing continued on, Doriel and Alexander gave their statements, Dumbledore
gave one as well. The decision was
passed down; Harry was to stay with Doriel and Alexander. It was apparent to all involved that he was
safe and happy. Although he had gotten
what he wanted he was sure that it wasn’t going to be the last time that
Dumbledore was going to try and keep him away from Doriel.
Harry
relaxed in his room, stretched out over his bed as night fell. Avor was curled up
beside him, sleeping contentedly in a little ball of fluff. He had gotten some of his summer homework
done and was taking a break. Still
grounded for putting himself in danger he had used his time to get some reading
done. The sound of tapping at his window
made him scowl. It was a little chilly
tonight so he had closed it. With a sigh
he got to his feet and undid the latch, letting in a tawny owl.
“I’m
sorry I don’t have anything to give you.” He said, taking the letter, “Thank
you.”
The
owl gave a soft hoot in reply before flying off leaving Harry to close the
window and see who had sent him a letter.
He opened it and began to read.
Harry,
I wanted to thank you again for
saving my life. I know that your friends
don’t like muggleborns but I don’t know exactly how
you feel. I heard about the hearing and
I’m glad that they ruled in your favor.
Take care of yourself and I’ll see you this year.
Hermione
He
blinked at the letter. It had been short
and to the point but he found himself not sure of how to feel about the
witch. He hadn’t been raised to discount
the abilities of muggleborns but he had been taught
that only those who had proven themselves were worthy of a second glance. Hermione had proven herself to be intelligent
and Harry knew he’d have to keep an eye on her before Dumbledore sunk his hooks
in. Although her seeming relationship
with Weasley gave him pause. He would
most assuredly have to take a closer look.
