CEP's POV

Harry walked hand in arm with Voldemort all the way towards the Headmaster's office with dread. As he saw the gargoyle approach he started to lose the little conviction he'd won. He...

"Do you need me to ground you before we go in?" The older's voice wondered.

"Ground? Why'd I want to be grounded?"

"Bring you back from whatever stupor you got yourself into." Voldemort amended amused.

Harry blushed and shook his head.

"I'm as 'grounded' as I'll ever be." He said remorsefully. "What's the password?"

"Professor Dumbledore didn't say." Professor Riddle argued and Harry raised an eyebrow. "He went on and on about his favourite new muggle candy instead of saying the password."

Harry snorted.

"Lemon drop." He called towards the gargoyle, who got out of the way to give them the passageway towards the stairway. "It's Professor Dumbledore, what did you expect?"

"Right..." Voldemort grumbled as they started to climb and they started to hear the McLaggens and the Aurors inside making a scene while who could only be Professor Slughorn doing his best to calm them down. "If Slughorn is inside, Dumbledore won't let me inside without making a scene since Slughorn is your Head of House and can act as moderator until a Legal Guardian arrives."

Harry looked up at the older and then opened the door, walking in uninvited. He looked in the couple's direction while he entered the office. The couple and the former Professor McLaggen looked back confused at seeing him, a child hand in arm with an older person.

"My name is Callisto Peverell." Harry introduced himself. "I'm the last person to have seen your son before older students threw him out the moving train. Students who have already graduated school."

"Miss Peverell, please tell us their names and..." Mrs McLaggen started to plead as the rest of the group finally looked at him up and down, taking in his worth.

"For what? Why should I out the people who rescued me from raping?" He snapped and the couple gasped as the Aurors raised an unimpressed eyebrow. "Your son has been told several times I was not interested. Has dared to touch me in the chest without my permission, to which Professor Dumbledore was a witness to and, instead of taking my side, took the abuser's side.
