The Safe Wizards

10: Threats and Consequences

The ceremony in honor of Shacklebolt had just ended. Harry was really wondering what he had come to do, apart from decorating. It had been mainly political, well, Percy and Arthur Weasley had also been present, it was already better than being there alone. The young Weasley had told him that the elections had been brought forward to the end of the week as the Wizengamot had opposed the nomination of Peerce Gestand as the new head of government.

The man was now coming to meet Harry.

"Mr. Potter, it is an honor to meet you," he exclaimed, extending his hand to the dark-haired man, who shook it, but did not respond. "Could I have a word in private?"

Percy and Arthur excused themselves with a concerned look at Harry, who was playing with Teddy's nightlight ball that he kept in his pocket.

"I was disappointed not to receive an answer from you to my letter," the man said in a neutral tone.

"I was busy, you understand, now that my studies at Hogwarts are over I have to plan for the future."

"Of course, it's true that it's the period of registration in higher schools. What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to try for Auror school," Harry lied, he had no intention of fighting anymore, but nobody knew that.

"I'm sure you'll be a very good Auror and a good role model for that little Teddy."

"I beg your pardon?" Harry tensed.

"Excuse me that was rude, but you see, your godson's case, as the son of a werewolf, is particularly important to us. We want to help people in his situation and..."

"Help by doing what?" Harry cut him off, already tired with the conversation.

"By offering them specialized institutions to help them stay on the right track. To avoid that the drama that we have just lived in the ministry does happen again."

"Teddy doesn't show any sign of lycanthropy, leave him in peace!"

"Come on, Mr. Potter, Teddy is only a baby, and you're very young..."

"What do you want?" cut Harry off again, he couldn't take it anymore, he wanted to be by his godson's side to make sure he was safe.

"That you join our ranks, that you support us and our decisions publicly. Be with us and Teddy will be fine," said the man with an evil smile.

At that moment, the ball in Harry's hand began to vibrate strongly.

"Bastard!" the dark-haired man said, but he didn't take the time to curse him. "Teddy," he said, and felt the portkey activate.

He landed in Teddy's room who was crying. Naoil was in his crib holding a shield around the little bed to protect the baby from the fight that had taken place in the room between Andromeda and five men.

"Stupefix!" shouted Harry, waving his wand.

One of the men immediately fell to the floor. Two more men immediately turned to the Survivor and attacked him. Informed spells rained down from both sides, but Harry and Andromeda, with the help of Kreatur who arrived at one point, finally got the upper hand. All the attackers were immobilized and Harry rushed to Teddy.

"Are you all right?" he said, checking. "Oh by Merlin, you're okay!" he whispered, relieved as he took him in his arms. "Andromeda are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Let's go, others may come. Naoil, get the bags you packed and carry me to Gringotts, I don't want to risk them following us."

"Kreatur, you take me to the bank and then you know what to do."

The two elves complied and carried Harry with Teddy in his arms and Andromeda directly into Gringotts. The wizards and Naoil were ushered into Borgak's office as Kreatur went his way. They told the goblin about the attack and he grabbed a pen from his desk.
