"I do not agree with this!" Fudge hissed "We cannot agree to it! Giving the boy free reign could be devastating for us and..."
"Not, if we add some conditions" Amelia Bones interrupted "for example, a clause to not intentionally cause harm to innocent civilians and a clause that states he will inform the DMLE of all actions taken against the death eaters and Voldemort"
"We can't seriously trust that half-breed!" Umbridge exclaimed
"Dolores" Amelia sighed "he is not a half-breed as far as everyone else is concerned and that has no relevance to the subject at hand. What matters is this, the fact that there's a prophecy that states that only he can defeat Voldemort himself. While I personally don't put much stock in divination, many do and many may end up believing it. The public will demand his freedom!"
"Ah...well..." Fudge paled slightly "but...but Amelia, how could you possibly support this?!"
"Has it ever occurred to you that we have no choice in this matter?" Amelia replied
"What is that supposed to mean?" Umbridge glared at Amelia
"It means that the boy in question has been able to do things we can't even dream of doing. Killing dragons, defeating Voldemort, defeating Dumbledore being able to fire a killing curse at the age of four, being able to kill Thunderbirds and Acrobatula's, being able to produce lighting, knowing mind arts that cause actual physical damage and need I remind you that he escaped from a prison cell, that you said would be able to stop anyone, using nothing but pure magical strength and will power? Who knows what else he is capable of? The dementors barely affect him, our aurors are terrified of him, what do you think will be able to stop him from escaping should we decide to send him to Azkaban?"
"I...I..." Fudge tried really hard, but couldn't think up anything useful "but to let him have free reign?"
"Like I said before, we're not giving him free reign" Amelia sighed with annoyance "we'll put limitations up and should he break them, then we will try to arrest him no matter what."
"I think we should just arrest him now" Umbridge growled
"And how do you imagine that will go with the public?" Amelia glared at the toad, not even bothering to hide her dislike of the 'pink coloured idiot' as she usually referred to Umbridge in her mind, or at least when she was being generous "The boy-who-lived who not only stopped you-know-who in the first war was sent to be tortured by muggles thanks to the supposed 'greatest light wizard of all time' and is the only one capable of stopping Voldemort and now everyone knows how much he has suffered. The public will be behind him, if we go against him then we'll be hated for years after our deaths and be known as the idiots that did nothing but make things more difficult for our saviour!" Amelia took a quick glance around and saw that some people were realising she was right, things looked to be turning into Harry's favour, hopefully it would turn faster so she could get away from these idiots.
Dumbledore found himself in a magical suppression cell, just like the one the minister had tried to put Harry in. Thinking of Harry did not help, the boy had tricked him, played him, masterfully. He thought about the boy's plan and had to admit that he liked it, cause attention then put himself into a position where he could expose him. Dumbledore didn't really know how he was going to bounce back from this, his image was ruined. Everyone was going to find out about this, they weren't going to see him as the leader of the light, in their eyes he would be just another dark lord.
No. No! No!
He couldn't let that happen, he was the leader of the light, he was the defeater of Grindelwald! He was not a dark wizard! Everything he did was for the greater good, it's not his fault that others couldn't see that. What did they know anyway?! They're practically children compared to him, he was older and much more knowledgeable than them. He had to get out of here. He could decide what he would do later, perhaps he could convince Harry to drop the charges against him, if not then he could probably get the order to help.
He remembered how Harry got out of this cell, yes, Harry simply powered through the pain and kept going until it overloaded. Well, if he could do it the Dumbledore could easily do it as well.
He stood up and let off a little bit of magic to start with and was immediately punished as pain surged through his body, intense and agonising pain, the pain had the unintended side effect of making his injuries that he suffered from Harry, much more worse. He stopped and dropped to his knees, his breathing became heavy and his eyes watery. That pain, it was horrible, the fact that the boy could last more than five seconds of it amazed Dumbledore. To think, imagine the results of what would happen if he had trained Harry, he could have been the greatest light wizard ever to exist.
"Having fun Dumbledore?" A mocking voice called, he looked up to see two guards looking at him "I wouldn't do that again if I were you"
"Yeah" The other guard grinned "do you think you're Harry Potter or something?"
"I...am a far better wizard than Harry Potter!" Dumbledore shouted, the guard seemed pleased at the fact that he managed to get under the skin of the great and might Albus Dumbledore
"Oh yeah?"
"He's gone delusional" The first guard said in a mock whisper
"Probably a side effect of being so old" The second guard replied, playing along
"Or maybe he's just a crazy asshole?"
"Hmm...yes, that's probably it"
"Do not talk about me like that!" Dumbledore snarled as he got to his feet
