CEP's POV

After Émilie's incident, Harry got forbidden of going out alone with Voldemort much to the boy's amusement. What did they expect would happen? Another adopted sibling?

The second class of the second semester was halfway when the classroom's door opened without permission. All students looked up from their duelling positions where they had been practicing protection spells in groups of two, to find a group of old men arguing with Dumbledore as they entered.

"Excuse me but we are in the middle of practical class." Marvolo demanded and it was obvious from his tone that he was furious.

"My apologies, Professor, but we have received notice that you have been giving a student special attention and..."

"That's a lie." Suddenly a lot of students not in Harry's group argued. "Miss Peverell - if anything - has to work thrice for an Outstanding than anything that we do. And she even gets grounded each time she misbehaves."

Harry's lips thinned at being treated like a female and saw the elder men glare at the Headmaster, before they looked around and Harry's arm was grabbed and raised up. He glared at Sirius mockingly for forcing him to raise his arm.

"Miss Peverell, is it true that you get private classes?"

"If by private classes you mean that I do homework once, show Professor Slytherin, he reviews it and adds books I should check, I redo homework again and again and again until it is at Outstanding level? Then yes."

All the Gryffindors shivered suddenly feeling pity for him, instead of jealous.

"Are you saying that you do not spend an hour alone each day with Professor Slytherin on his office?"

"Madam Pomfrey's orders. Since he had to do it, he started to using those hours to make me review my studies." Harry agreed. "And are you really putting into question what my fiancé and Legal Magical Guardian can do when we are outside classroom hours?" He added pointedly. "Sirius, contact your father-in-law. Severus, contact your stepfather. The lawyers should be here to listen to this." He added.

Severus raised his wrist and pulled up the clock area of his wristwatch to show a mirror underneath, while Sirius picked his Lestrange family's bracelet and touched one of the trinkets.

{Roddy, tell your father that we need him in DADA's classroom right now.} Sirius whispered to the trinket and only Harry's Animagus' higher senses let him listen to it.
