Eren had been reinstated as the Professor for Defence against the Dark Arts. Minerva McGonagall was promoted to the Headmistress for the rest of the term in place of Dumbledore, who would not come in public until the next term.

... 

Hogwarts, Nine days after the trial

"And it is my pleasure to welcome, Eren Yeager as the Professor for Defence against the Dark Arts for the rest of the term," Minerva said in her first address to the Hogwarts students.

The staff, more so Minerva had undergone emotional turmoil in the past few days.

Quirell, revealed to be a Dark Wizard, Eren is arrested for Aberforth's death, and Irma's, Eren is found out to be the Lord Dumbledore, Aberforth's suicide, Albus's request for a five-month leave and abrupt promotions albeit temporary ones.

For Minerva it was more surprising and depressing, being from the few people who had been Albus's inner circle, she had been an acquaintance, if not a friend to Aberforth. Knowing he had taken his own life had been a hit in the face. 

The funeral for Aberforth had been a week earlier, two days after the trial. Everyone from the staff was present, including some Lords of Wizengamot and a few children claiming to know old man Abe. 

That was the last time they had contact with Albus, who was now in a recluse, knowing him would be continued for quite some time.

"I'd always heard Hogwarts' end-of-the-year exams were frightful, but I've found that rather enjoyable."

"Speak for yourself. All right there, Harry?"

"Y-Yes, I am alright." Harry is walking next to the two rubbing his forehead right where the scar is.

"Does it hurt again?"

"What? No- It doesn't hurt but just that Volde-" Ron shushes Harry at the mention of his name.

"-You-Know-Who is still alive. I mean I don't know-"

"How to react?" Hermione filled in words for Harry.

"Y-Yeah." Harry looks down while exiting the halls.

"We should not fear Harry. If what you said is true Dumbledore knows. The soul Voldemort only acted when Dumbledore was gone. Now that he knows surely he will do something."

"But Dumbledore is busy, you know with-" The trio entered the Great hall and looked at Eren.

"We are still children Harry. Professor Yeager-" She looked at Ron smugly, now he could not point her to be wrong addressing Eren as Professor. "He defeated V- You-Know-Who. He will again. I know Dumbledore is gone for some time but he will return. He is the greatest Light Wizard after all."

"I am still surprised Professor Yeager-" Ron looked at Hermione who puffed her chest at the mention "is a Dumbledore!"

"Yup not just a Dumbledore, but THE Dumbledore, he is a Lord after all." Harry was just listening to Hermione and Ron.

Deep down he was happy. He had liked Mr Yeager from the start of the term. The man had helped him with homework, extra material for study and even extracurricular. 

He had helped and saved Hermione from the blasted troll. And he protected him from Quirrelmort-yes Harry was calling him that.

He was petrified but he had listened to their talk in the end. Eren had defied Voldemort, taken Crucios for him and delayed his attempt to resurrect.

He was sure he would have died if not for Mr Yeager.

The trial... was a complicated event.

When Harry had heard Mr Yeager had been charged with murder that too of Aberforth Dumbledore, who was the headmaster's brother. Harrd did not believe that to be true, but if by any chance it was true, that would have been devastating for him. 

The result of the trial was... surprising... not in the way he had expected the surprise.

Harry looked at the empty headmaster's seat, which temporary headmistress Minerva McGonagall had refused to sit at. 

This past year had been a turning point for him, in a very practical manner.

He had found out he was a wizard, his parents did not die in a drunker car accident, they were heroes in a war, and much much more.

He was excited about what the next year had in for him.

Year one End.
