Chapter 9

(A/N) I forgot 😅 so here it is. Again, not my story - El

Sirius Black might have been able to argue down a muggle and his adolescent godson, but he was outmatched by the five seasoned magicals who berated him for his appalling behaviour and attitude to his godson.

June was especially vicious with her vitriol.

It didn't help that Eric Hoyte was ten years his senior, a pureblood and considered him absolutely pathetic. The man had shown him the stark reality of the future of the International Statute of Secrecy.

Sirius was terrified.

And he hadn't even met Scar or Jelly yet.

For five weeks they lectured him and pounded the truth into his brain.

In that time Harry learnt enough to actually get into high school. John had made him promise to focus on socialising and to just do his best when it came to learning. There was little chance he would earn his diploma with so little time.

Unfortunately, Harry was ill-equipped to handle teenagers.

John and his daughter Mary, Lex's mother, were called to the school on his first day.

"He knocked the senior school quarterback out!" The principal was furious as they sat in his office.

Harry remained silent. Lex glared at the man as she held Harry's hand.

"Oh? Why, Harry?"

"He attacked me." Harry said quietly. "Held me against the wall and tried to remove my trousers."

"He sexually assaulted you?!" John was now livid.

"Dad, he was probably just going to pants the boy." Mary sighed. "Harry clearly overreacted."

John was flabbergasted.

"Exactly." The Principal agreed. "I have no choice but to expel Mister Potter and to notify the police."

"Very well." John said stiffly as he stood. "Harry, Alexis, gather your belongings. I will see that you are home-schooled.

"Principal Davis, expect to hear from my law firm."

"What? But Lex isn't in trouble." This was not turning out the way the Principal thought it would.

"No. But she is clearly in danger. If you think it is perfectly acceptable to violently disrobe somebody then this is no place for my teenage granddaughter. I will not allow her to be around such uncivilised barbarians!"

John took Lex's hand and dragged her out of the room, knowing full well she was not going let go of Harry.

"Dad! You can't just remove my daughter from school!" Mary growled as she chased after them.

John didn't stop. "I will remind you, Mary, that I have legal custody of Alexis and Timothy whilst you and Ryan are going through your divorce.

"As soon as I have assured Alexis' safety I will be heading straight to Timothy's school to assess their suitability for my grandson."

"You are blowing this out of proportion!"

This time John did come to a stop in the middle of the hallway. "What if it was you? What if those disgusting rapists had tried to pull down your underwear?"

"Dad! They aren't rapists and they would never touch a woman like that!"

"Probably because they're just closet homosexuals." John sneered.

"Mister John Hammond? We're here to arrest Mister Harry James Potter for assault."

Standing a few steps away were two police officers.
