Ministry of Magic. Minister's Office.
The Minister's office has had a couple of changes. Fudge had tried to be subtle but it didn't really work. A new desk, a small but expensive alcohol cabinet. Filled with the most expensive bottles of course for his 'guests' that gave a lot of donations.
New expensive leather chairs a new desk to make himself look more important. And the reason for this is because his ratings are dropping, so he is looking for more supporters, instead of doing anything useful to get the people to like him more.
The Minister had invited his dear friend Lucius over for a chat. And by chat meaning Fudge tells all his fears and insecurities to the Death Eater next to him.
Lucius had a calm and collected expression. While Minister Fudge was nervous and had sweat dripping down his face.
"Lucius are you absolutely certain this will work?" Fudge wiped off the sweat off his face with a napkin
"Yes, of course Minister" Lucius said in a confident tone "The girl injured many pureblood heirs. Potter can't do anything to save her. And it will be a prefect opportunity to remind that brat of his place"
"But what if he calls for an Honora Duel, like he did for Goyle and Crabbe?"
Lucius smirked at the Minister's panicked voice "We are counting on it. See we have hired a.. professional to represent us" he said with an evil grin
"A-a professional?" Fudge said in a confused tone
"Potter may have killed two wizards. But this one has killed hundreds"
The Minister's eyes widened. "How did you find such a man"
"We didn't. He found us"
~ Amelia office
' Merlin' Amelia nursed a headache with a glass of Ogden's 'What is wrong with these idiots?'
She looked through the files on her desk. Daphne Greengrass's trial was tomorrow. She saw the evidence they had on the girl.
'They are going to twist the facts. Its obvious what was happening, a group of boys cornering two girls in a bathroom. I should be locking them up. But bloody politics. And naturally Harry Potter is going to intervene. The girl's mother Ophelia Greengrass is consolidated under the Potter Foundation. She is a part of his group.' Amelia took another big gulp.
'Potter has made some powerful moves. Ironically for the better while screwing over everybody else. He has bought houses and businesses and saved a lot of people when the economy crashed thanks to the mysterious Lord Black.
Everything he touches suddenly gets a massive innovation of the whole process and business starts to grow. And the purebloods are naturally jealous especially since Potter wants nothing to do with them.'
Amelia pulled up the information she has been compiling on Harry Potter. And she did not like what she has.
Complete magical education by the time he was ten. Master Potioner and Enchanter since he could create those Pots. Merciless and Morally Grey. Has no problem using violence and killing people. He handled Crabbe and Goyle like they were children.
She reached out to some contacts over the pond and got information from his former teachers. Each DADA teacher says they have never had a student like Harry, since they didn't know his name they treated him like a up and coming genius. Instead of having any prejudice against him. Which they do, in America common wizards are jealous of the rich old families, both in Britain and their own country, since they receive their education earlier and are generally more powerful because of it.
Harry Potter beat all of his teachers in a duel, a proper duel with rules. There are rumors running around that he hunts dark creatures as well. No real evidence but he has managed to acquire some rare creature parts for his potions. And his potion master Vincent has no idea how he got them.
'Merlin, Potter is going to kill them all.' she waved her wand and the door to her office opened
"Scrimgeour!" Amelia yelled out, her voice reached the entire office, a few minutes later her second in command walked in
"You called boss?" Rufus Scrimgeour asked with a raised eyebrow. Bones never called him like this, it was a bit demeaning for him as her second in command. But he looked past that whatever she wanted must be serious.
Amelia closed the door and activated some privacy charms
"Tell our men, no matter what happens tomorrow. They must not face Harry Potter" Amelia said seriously
"But Bos-"
"Damn it Rufus!" She slammed her hand on the desk, startling Rufus "If we push him too far, we may have another Dark Lord on our hands"
"Potter?!" Scrimgeour said in surprise "He is still a child"
"And that child can kill a lot of us. If we push him and he escapes, then in ten years we will have another Voldemort on our hands. And considering he is still alive we might have to face him and Potter at the same time. Two powerhouses, and I don't think we would be able to stop them."
Rufus stood there as he ran his palm down his face "You think the Potter could do something like that?"
Amelia let out a tired sigh "Rufus. From all that I gathered, from all my sources. They all say the same thing. That kid only cares about Magic. Just like the first day he came to Britain and we met him. He genuinely wants to reach the peak of magic. To surpass Merlin. And anyone...
Anyone who gets in his way will be killed. He has killed before, Crabbe and Goyle were annoyances at best. He barely tried for Merlin's sake. A firstie, killing two veteran Death Eaters. They were not the best, but they still saw some action in the previous war."
" You say they were annoyances. But if someone were piss that kid off?"
Amelia looked him straight in the eye "That kid will tear through our world to kill them. And he won't be concerned about casualties when he does it"
~ Harry' Side
"Lets go people. We can't be late for such a special occasion" Harry says in a giddy and excited voice while the people around him just look at him blankly
"Harry, you are going to be late" Melinda says as she was going through some orders. She was sitting comfortably on the couch as she watched Harry, Daphne, Andromeda and Ophelia get ready to leave.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to" Harry says in an old and wise tone
"Where are you getting these from!" Hope looked like she wanted to strangle him. Harry was obviously quoiting something from a book or movie. But no matter how hard she looks she can't find the source material
This causes Harry to burst out laughing "Man these are so much more fun now. I have my own inside joke. Awesome"
"Just leave already" Bella rolled her eyes as she was painting her nails. One of the best things about well 'being in the future' at least from her perspective. Is the food, the entertainment and the many, many widely available female produces. Sometimes she has fun painting shapes and figures on her nails then using the color changing charm on them to find the best variation and shade.
"I agree." Hope nodded she was sitting on the other side of the sofa reading through some magazines
Astoria was looking at them with worried expressions. She couldn't hold it in and went to hug her mother and sister. And after that she hugged Harry and looked up at him with big and tearful eyes.
"Everything will be fine. Right?"
Harry chuckled and patted her head "Don't you worry your pretty little head my tiny apprentice. They won't be able to touch them"

When the group arrived at the Ministry the first thing they noticed was the reporters. A huge crowd of them.
'Fucking Vultures' Harry cursed in his mind when he saw them. But this time he didn't answer any questions. He just walked right through the middle with Aurors pushing back the crowd so they can make a clear line to the entrance to the room.
The room that was chosen for them was the biggest one. The one used for the most notorious criminals. Namely the Death Eaters... and a plan for Harry Potter to find himself on trial here... The plan is still non-existent
The Wizengamot room was ostentatious, to show off the wealth and power of the Ministry and the Lords of Magical Britain.
This room was dark and intimidating. The accused was placed a lot lower than everybody else. So they can know their place.
It seems they were going all out on this one. The room was filled to the brim. It seemed that everybody had arrived.
Harry's eyes glanced around the rooms. The Minister and his frog along with the Traditionalist Faction looked at them with glee. But he then glanced at Amelia Bones, she tired keeping a stone cold face. But Harry noticed from the little body language that she showed that she was nervous.
Amelia noticed Harry Potter was looking at her. Once their eyes locked Harry sent her a grin that made her stomach drop. He was here to cause trouble. And she didn't really want to know what he has planned. In the boy's own words
"If there is a trail and they try to manipulate whatever evidence they have to frame Daphne, I will just Declare a Blood Feud against the whole Ministry and call all my allies from across the world."
"Ahh. Mrs. Greengrass, you have arrived" The Minister said in a poupous tone as he was looking down on them from his seat. "Lord Potter" he glanced at the boy, he was still very afraid of him, but kept a calm face chanting 'The plan will work' over and over again in his head
"Why are you here? I understand Mrs. Greengrass is your friend but you have no legal grounds here"
'And there is the plan' Amelia couldn't help shift a bit. 'It is a plan, somewhat. Since Harry Potter has no legal grounds, the Minister and Lucius hope that even if he Declares a Blood War no other governments will support him. Just so they don't come out looking as the 'bad guys'. They are hoping to push Harry Potter into an Honor Duel.'
Ophelia stepped up with a little smile "Of course Harry is here. After all he is family, Daphne and Harry are betrothed"
"""""" Betrothed!!!"""""""
"Ha?!" " What!?"
"Impossible!"
"That's right, the Black Family has a marriage contract with the Greengrasses!"
The Lords in the room yelled out. The Minister paled.
Amelia looked at the scene with wide eyes. 'Well so much for that plan'
"How did you break the Marriage Contract. That is set in stone" Lucius's cold voice silenced all the others
Ophelia just had a smug look on her face. it was so nice to get one up on these stuck up purebloods. "Break it? We did nothing of the sort. We honored the agreement"
"Harry Potter's grandmother is Dorea Potter nee Black. Lord Black didn't want anything to do with the contract, but since it is unbreakable and he is much older than Daphne, he didn't want a young girl to be forced in such a stupid position.
He simply accepted Harry into the family and named him Heir Black for the moment, until he has children of his own. And since Harry is the youngest Black it falls onto him to marry Daphne" Andromeda continued with an even tone. But everybody could see how amused and gleeful she was behind her stone cold face. Her eyes were giving it away.
Harry chuckled "Nice guy. Good sense of humor and since he didn't want anything to do with the dark past of the Black Family he just gifted me their entire library as a future wedding gift" 'And now i can use the Black Family spells all I want.'
Harry's eyes focused as he looked at the Minister. "Now shall we continue with the trial?"
