The Chosen One

Chapter Forty Five

Genesis’s P.O.V
Christmas finally came around and both Harry and I finally made it to Sirius’s place and the both of us eventually walked into the Kitchen with Sirius following behind us to see the others already at the table pouring each other drinks and opening their presents before Mrs. Weasley noticed us, “Harry, Genesis, there you both are.” she said as she walked up to us with presents in her hands before giving them to us, “Happy Christmas you two.” she said as she hugged the both of us and I began to open the present she gave me and saw that it was a handmade scarf with matching gloves and Hat and I smiled, “thank you Mrs. Weasley, I love it.” I said to her, “you’re welcome dear, I’m glad you like it.” she said to me before I put it back in the box for the time being before hearing Mr. Weasley speak up, “A Christmas toast to Mr. Harry Potter without whom I would not be here. Harry.” he said and we all raised our glasses and we all said his name at the same time before we went on with dinner and we all talked the entire time as it made me forget everything that’s been going on recently and once dinner was over, we all done our own thing for the rest of the night before I noticed Harry walk into another room and I followed him before noticing a family tree on the wall before hearing the House Elf speak up, “Nasty brats standing there as bold as brass. Harry Potter, the boy who stopped the Dark Lord, friend of Mudbloods and Bloodtraitors alike. If my poor mistress-” it said before Sirius spoke up, “Kreature, that’s enough of your bile. Away with you.” Sirius said to it, “Of course Master, Kreature lives to serve the Noble House of Black.” Kreature said before walking away, “sorry about that, he never was very pleasant, even when I was a boy, not to me anyway.” Sirius said to us as he walked into the room, “you grew up here?” Harry asked him, “this is my parents house. I offered it to Dumbledore as Headquarters for the Order. About the only useful thing I’ve been able to do. This is the Black family tree, my deranged cousin. I hated the lot of them, My parents with their Pureblood mania. My mother did that after I ran away. Charming woman, I was 16” he said to us as he pointed to a burnt spot with his name underneath it, “where did you go?” Harry asked him, “your dads. I was always welcomed at the Potters. I see him so much in you, Harry, you are so very much alike.” Sirius said to him, “I’m not so sure.” Harry said and I furrowed my brows a little before he continued, “Sirius, when I was- when I saw Mr. Weasley got attacked, I wasn’t just watching. I was the Snake. And afterwards in Dumbledore’s office, there was a moment when I wanted- this connection between me and Voldemort. What if the reason for it is that I am becoming more like him, I just feel so angry all the time and what if everything I’ve been through, something’s gone wrong inside me? What if I’m becoming bad?” Harry said to him and I had gotten a little worried at what he was telling him before Sirius spoke up, “I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry, you’re not a bad person, you’re a very good person who bad things had happened to and I’m sure Genesis can attest to that, you understand?” Sirius said to him and he nodded, “and besides, the world doesn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part which we choose to act on, that’s who we really are.” Sirius said to him and I smiled a little before hearing Hermione, “Harry, Genesis, time to go.” she said to us before we walked over to the door, “when all of this is over, we’ll be a proper family, you’ll see.” Sirius said before hugging Harry, causing me to smile a little before we left the room and eventually, we left Sirius’s place.

After the Holidays were over and everyone who left for the holidays had made it back to the school and both Harry and I were making our way inside before Hermione came up to us before speaking up, “Harry, Genesis, Hagrid’s back.” she told us and both Harry and I just looked at each other before the four of us rushed over to Hagrids place and just as we got there, we heard Professor Umbridge speaking before we decided to listen in on her conversation with Hagrid and as we were looking through the window, we noticed that Umbridge had noticed something causing the four of us to duck our heads and continued to wait until she finally managed to leave and once she was far enough away, the four of us had knocked on the door before Hagrid opened it seconds later and let us inside and we all sat down as Hagrid sat down in front of us after grabbing a piece of meat and putting it to his forehead before he spoke up, “this is top secret alright. Dumbledore sent me to parley with the Giants.” he told us, “Giants?” Hermione questioned before she relaxed a little, “you found them?” she asked him, “well, they’re not that hard to find to be perfectly honest, it’s so big you see. I tried to convince them to join the cause but I wasn’t the only one that was trying to win them over.” Hagrid told us, “Death Eaters.” Both Ron and I said, “yes, trying to persuade them to join You-Know-Who.” Hagrid said, “and did they?” Harry asked him, “I gave them Dumbledore’s message, I suppose some of them remember he was friendly to them.” Hagrid said to us, “and they did this to you?” Harry asked him, “not exactly, no.” Hagrid said before Fang started barking before Hagrid gave him the meat before we all had the same feeling before we got up and looked outside, “it’s changing out there, just like last time. There’s a storm coming Harry, we all best be ready when she does.” Hagrid said to us and I sighed a little, “then let’s hope we can beat him for a second time.” I said to them, “we all hope for the same. Anyways, you four best be off before classes start.” he said to us before we eventually left Hagrids and managed to make it back to the Castle and we managed to make it to the Great Hall while everyone was eating Breakfast before Hermione had spoken up, “Dumbledore warned Fudge this could happen, he’s gonna get us all killed just because he can’t face the truth.” she said to us, “I’m sure people will realize that sooner rather than later.” I said to her before we heard Seamus speak up and we turned to face him, “Harry, I wanted to apologize, now even my mum says the Prophet version of things don’t add up. So, what I’m really trying to say is that I believe you.” he said to Harry, “and Genesis, I wanted to say the same for what I said to you the first night here. I understand you were just trying to be there for him after what happened last year.” he said to me and I nodded, “you’re forgiven. I’m glad you were able to come to your senses about everything.” I said to him and eventually, the four of us sat down and ate breakfast before going to class for the day.

Later that day, everyone who was involved with Dumbledore’s Army continued to meet in the Room of Requirement and we were able to let Seamus join as well and eventually, Harry told us what we would be doing today and once he explained it to us, we were all trying to conjure a Patronus Charm and after a few tries, I finally managed to get it right as mine turned out to be an Eagle

and I smiled as it flew around the room and around me and I laughed a little before we all began to feel something before hearing something hit against the wall on the other side as we all stopped what we were doing as Harry, Myself and Nigel walked up to where the door would be only for the glass to break and eventually fall to the floor in pieces and we noticed a hole in the wall only to see, Umbridge and a few others before she spoke up, “I’ll make short work of this. Bombarda Maxima.” she said before Harry and I got Nigel out of the way before the wall exploded and after we got to our feet and the dust settled, Umbridge was still there along with Mr. Filch and some of of the Slytherin’s before Draco dragged Cho and my anger grew a little realizing she must have said something to Professor Umbridge before Harry, Myself and Cho were dragged over to Dumbledore’s Office, “I’ve been watching them for weeks and see, Dumbledore’s Army, Proof of what I’ve been telling right from the beginning Cornelius. All your fear mongering about You-Know-who never fooled us for a minute. We saw your lies for what they were, a smokescreen for your bid to seize control of the Ministry.” Umbridge said before Dumbledore spoke up, “Naturally.” he said to them, “no, Professor. he had nothing to do with it, it was me.” Harry said as he tried taking the blame, “most noble of you Harry to shield me, but as it’s been pointed out, the Parchment clearly states, Dumbledore’s Army not Potter’s. I instructed Harry to form this organization and I and I alone are responsible for its activities.” Dumbledore said before the Minister spoke up, “dispatch an Owl to the Daily Prophet if we hurry, we should still make the morning addition. Dorlish, Shacklebolt, you will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban to await trial for conspiracy and sedition.” the Minister said as they began to slowly walk up to Dumbledore, “I thought we might hit this little snag. You seem to be laboring under the delusion that I’m going to, what was the phrase ‘come quietly’ well I can tell you this, I have no intention of going to Azkaban.” Dumbledore said to them, “enough of this, take him.” Umbridge said as Dumbledore winked at Harry and I before Fawkes flew in and left with Dumbledore causing us all to lose our balance because of the blast of wind that blew towards us and once he was gone, I chuckled a little, “that was cool.” I mentioned to everyone before Kingsley spoke up, “well, you may not like him Minister but you can’t deny that Dumbledore’s got style.” he said to the Minister and once they got their footing back, the Minister eventually left after making Umbridge the Headmistress of the school, “you and your group of friends will be joining me in the Great Hall for detention.” she said to Harry and I, “and I hope you end up in hell and once you get there, say hello to Satan for me.” I said to her before we left Dumbledore’s office and Harry and I met up with Ron and Hermione and we told them everything that happened in Dumbledore’s office.
