CONSEQUENCE The boy who survived

Chapter 6 -

"Well...this will be fun." Ryan said as he and the group arrived in the headmaster's office along with Professor McGonagall and Snape.

"Well...it'll be interesting at least." Rose offered, always one to look on the more positive side of things.

"Ah hello," Headmaster Dumbledore said when they entered, he was currently sat behind his desk. Professors McGonagall and Snape walked forwards and stood on either side of him while Harry and his group sat in the chairs in front of the desk. "now, I'm sure you know why you are all here."

"Do we?" Violet asked the group.

"I don't." Rose shook her head.

"Me neither." Red said. "Harry, you have any idea why we're here?"

"Not a one," Harry shook his head. "Ryan?" Harry asked.

"No idea." Ryan shrugged.

"You are a squib," Dumbledore said to Ryan, ignoring the little conversation the group just had. "why did you not tell anyone about this?"

"I did, I told both professors yesterday." Ryan replied.

"Why did you not tell anyone about this before?" Dumbledore clarified.

"You didn't ask." Ryan shrugged.

"That was because we assumed you were a wizard."

"Well sir...you know what they say about people who assume." Harry said with a small smile. "But anyway, I hardly see how it matters if my friend is a squib or not."

"That's because you're an idiot." Snape sneered at him.

"Tell me headmaster, I was under the impression that Hogwarts was the best magical school in Britain." Violet said. "Is that correct?"

"Why yes Miss flight, it is." Dumbledore nodded.

"Yet you do not feel the need to reprimand your employee for insulting a student when said student did not directly, intentionally or even unintentionally insult him?" Violet asked while raising an eyebrow.

"You little brat, I should..." Snape started only to be interrupted.

"I think..." Red cut Snape off. "that he has just proved our point. He has insulted Harry first and now he insulted my sister."

"Harry," Violet leaned towards Harry and looked at him. "do correct me if I'm wrong, but is Professor Snape not from a most ancient and noble house?" She asked with fake curiosity.

"Not even a noble one." Harry answered, playing along with her.

"So not only is he insulting students of this school but he is also insulting his social superior?"

"That is correct." Harry nodded before turning to Dumbledore. "So what are we going to do about that?"

"Mr Potter, Professor Snape has my full and complete trust." Dumbledore said. Harry and his group looked at each other for several moments before turning to Dumbledore.

"So?" They asked at the same time.

"We did not ask if he had your trust or not, the question was what are you going to do about your employee acting in an unprofessional manner, matter of fact, what are you going to do?" Harry said.
