Chapter 108: Confronting Authority
"Okay Professor" They both spoke at the same time, McGonagall nodded and waited outside. Harry called his two elves back.
"Guys, work with the twins in setting up the party, we'll be back in a bit. Fred, George, I'm expecting a bloody brilliant party when I get back"
"Language" Hermione scolded
"Yes mother" Harry and Ginny responded with mock shame
"Don't worry Harry" The twin speak began
"Me and my handsome brother over here"
"Will work very hard"
"On setting up"
"A fabulous"
"Spectacular"
"Great"
"Lovely"
"Fun"
"And cool"
"Party" They both ended.
Harry and Ginny walked out and McGonagall escorted them to the headmaster's office. She led them inside where they found Dumbledore sitting behind his desk, Mrs Weasley standing on one side of it and growling under her breath when she saw their messed up hair and clothes they were still wearing yesterday while Bill was trying not to smile. On the other side they found Snape standing with a neutral expression on his face.
"Morning" Harry greeted them in a cheery manner
"Where were you two last night?" Dumbledore asked
"I'd describe it as heaven" Harry winked at Ginny and clicked his tongue which caused her to blush a little.
"Harry, where were you?" Dumbledore repeated
"In the school sir" Harry replied "you see I had just gone through a very traumatic experience and needed some time alone, Ginny accompanied me and eventually we lost track of time and fell asleep."
"Is that all you did?" Molly asked
"You wish it was" Ginny responded
"Harry" Dumbledore spoke before Mrs Weasley could start shouting "that is very inappropriate behaviour and as such must be punished"
"Really?" Harry raised an eye brow "what are you going to do? Put us in detention?"
"No"
"Sorry to interrupt sir but I can assure you that you need not bother with the threat of punishment"
"Oh" Dumbledore replied "pray tell, why that is?"
"Simple" Harry smiled "I go where Ginny goes and vice versa, you could put us both in detention. Or you could suspend or expel one of us, if you do then both of us go, personally I don't mind. If you do then we'll just go to another school. Fleurs school sounded really interesting, don't you agree Ginny?"
"Oh yes" Ginny crossed her arms "I wouldn't mind spending time in France"
Dumbledore realised that they were right, though he didn't know as much about Harry as he liked, he knew that he wasn't the sort to give empty threats. Dumbledore needed Harry where he could see him.
"Very well" He spoke "as long as you promise not to repeat this action"
"Oh I promise, we ARE going to repeat this action" Harry responded "and we're very much allowed to seeing as she is my wife"
"WIFE?!" Dumbledore roared, he was hoping Molly was wrong when she said the two were married but it was apparently true. He slowly regained his composure "now Harry, Ginny cannot be your wife"
"Oh I'm sure she can" Harry grinned
"And I can assure you I am" Ginny showed Dumbledore her ring
"Ginerva Molly Weasley!" Mrs Weasley shouted "don't you dare disrespect the headmaster!"
"Actually mother" Ginny smiled "I've made some changes and my full name is now actually Ginerva Potter, if you don't believe me then you can check my medical records and check with Gringotts and the ministry."
"And" Harry added "if you need proof of our marriage and emancipation I'd advise checking with the ministry and the Goblins, however don't expect much details. The goblins are big on privacy and for some unknown reason that no one can explain" Harry smiled smugly "the original record of our marriage is gone"
"Gone?" Bill asked
"Gone" Harry repeated "naturally I have a copy but the one in the ministry went missing, a shame isn't it? Luckily however you'd still be able get proof we're married but not much beyond that."
"Very well" Dumbledore sighed
"Very well?!" Molly shrieked
"Mrs Weasley we will resume this topic later" Dumbledore turned back to Harry "now Harry could you tell us about the events of last night?"
"Well sir I took Ginny to a private place, we kissed a lot and eventually we removed our clothes and…"
"Not those events!" Molly shouted
"Spoil sport" Harry mumbled before turning to Dumbledore "the cup was a portkey and it took me to a graveyard where Wormtail took my blood for a ritual to bring the unnameable idiot back to life"
"And?" Dumbledore prompted
"And what?" Harry played dumb
"Did he succeed?" Dumbledore asked
"Professor Snape" Harry turned to the potions master "did the mark burn?"
"Yes it did" Snape nodded whilst rubbing his arm
"I believe you have your answer Headmaster, oh and Professor Snape, the potion had finished cooling down this morning. Dobby, give the Professor his potion."
The house elf popped in and handed Snape a vial of pink liquid before popping away. Snape had rolled up his sleeves to reveal his dark mark, he gulped down the potion and soon the mark had disappeared.
"Thank you" Snape spoke with a grateful voice
"What have you done?!" Dumbledore shouted
"Removed my dark mark" Snape spoke simply "Mr Potter a hundred points for that particular potion"
"Thank you sir" Harry beamed
"But Severus" Dumbledore looked so disappointed "how are you supposed to spy now?"
"I'm not" Snape smiled "my days of spying for you are over."
"But you made an unbreakable vow!"
"No" Snape shook his head "I made a vow to promise to help rid the world of the dark lord and I intend to do it, just not your way. I quit the order of the phoenix and I no longer spy for you"
"Severus!" McGonagall pretended to be shocked, Harry was impressed by how convincing she looked
"Severus if you no longer help me than I will fire you!" Dumbledore screamed
"Thank you" Severus dropped a letter on his desk "but there is no need, here is my letter of resignation and I would like to inform you that I no longer work for you. I already have a new employer!"
"WHAT?! WHO?!"
"Him" Snape moved around and stood just behind Harry, the look on Dumbledore's face was priceless. He was so in shock that he didn't notice Stink popping in and taking a picture with a camera before popping out.
"But…But…you can't!" Dumbledore sputtered
"Mr Potter has hired me as his and Mrs Potters private tutor, and under the laws of the school and British government they are allowed to have a private tutor and not attend school classes regarding the subject providing they have their guardians permission. As they are fully emancipated they are their own guardians and are allowed to hire me."
