4 Chapter 4 News
...Diagon Alley....
Transformed Harry meets Gellert grindelwald a little far away from gringotts bank. They look at each other and starts to walk together.
"You sure took your time," Gellert said to Harry. He cannot give clues to nearby people so he starts talking in such a way that only they can understand.
"Family business sure takes some time. So how much money you have left after many years?" Harry asked Gellert. He doesn't know how much money Gellert has hidden for his past international operations.
"It is in millions. After spending some many years inside this is the best result I can get," Gellert said to Harry about his money. He still has many accounts around the world in different banks.
"Let's buy a new wand and clothes for you. I have to come at a later date to buy new and fitting clothes for me," Harry said to Gellert. They entered a clothing store and Gellert gave his measurements and after that they left the store. They can come after an hour to collect it.
After shopping for an hour. They came to ollivander wand maker shop. Both of them entered together.
"Excuse me Mr. ollivander. We came here to buy a new wand," Harry said loudly so he can get the attention of ollivander.
Ollivander came to meet his new customers.
"Hello, young man do you want a new wand?" Ollivander asked Harry out of courtesy.
"Actually me and my friend came to buy a new wand. Our last wands broke during our duel. It is beyond repair," Harry said to Ollivander.
Ollivander saw there faces and started to show them common wands but common wands went out of control. Ollivander became happy after seeing this kind of reaction.
"It looks like both of you are a picky chooser like Mr. Harry Potter or You-know-who. By the way what are your names. I forgot to ask," Ollivander asked them. He is searching for a suitable wand for them.
"My name is Gellert Thompson," Gellert said to Ollivander. He spoke half truth and half lie to Ollivander.
"My name is Madara Uchiha," Harry said to Ollivander. Gellert suddenly felt a jolt inside his spine. Ollivander suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Harry.
"Your name has a power. I almost felt fear course through my back for some reason. I will never forget your name young man," Ollivander said to Harry. Harry smiled at him.
"I will make sure this name will be known everywhere in the wizarding world," Harry said to ollivander. He has plans where he has to use a different name in the nearby future.
Gellert got a wand for himself which matched his magic signature.
"Blackthorn wood, 12 inches with a dragon heartstring as it's core. Very good for dark arts, fire spells and charms," Ollivander said to gellert. Other things about his possible future he didn't mention because Gellert looks quite old. Maybe ollivander and Gellert have the same age.
After few more wands passed Harry's hands. He got his new wand. He felt the correct wand is under his plam.
" Elder wood, 15 inches with a thunder bird's feather as it's core. Very good for lightning,wind and fire spells, transfiguration and charms. The Thunderbird who gave this feather was quite wild and remained untamed. Only after his natural death this wand came to it's existence. One of my father's friend made this wand with a great difficulty. I expect a great things from you young man," Ollivander said to Harry. He avoided his name as it can bring chills by just saying it.
"How much for both the wands?" Gellert asked ollivander. He doesn't show any emotions.
"40 galleons. Both of those wands are quite powerful and rare," Ollivander said to gellert and Harry. Gellert paid for both of the wands. And they left the shop.
After Gellert and Harry left the store. Ollivander took a deep breath.
'I don't know about the old guy but I should definitely inform about the young boy to Dumbledore. He looks even more powerful than the another man with him Gellert,' Ollivander thought in his mind. He went inside to write a letter to Dumbledore. He can at least inform about this incident to his old friend.
While ollivander is busy in writing a letter to Dumbledore. Gellert and Harry went to take the tailored clothes of Gellert. After collecting the clothes. They went to a cafe to have a tea. Harry put the silencing spell around them. So no one can hear them.
"I forgot to tell you one thing Lord Potter. I didn't built Azkaban. I was imprisoned in my own castle. And it's name is Nurmengard Castle. I was shifted in Azkaban when my followers tried to save me in my previous castle. Azkaban is created by another dark lord Ekrizdis," Gellert said to Harry. Harry looked at him and smiled. The little boy realized his mistake.
He thought Gellert is captured in his own castle. Because Previous Harry heard about Gellert is held in Azkaban. The knowledge of previous Harry get mixed with his own knowledge and he will rectify it in the future.
"My Bad, Mr. Grindelwald. I was extremely lucky to find you in Azkaban by mistake," Harry said to gellert. He would have gone to Nurmengard to bring Gellert on his side anyway.
"You should leave Britain, Mr. Grindelwald. Create a fake identity and then you can come back. You can use the name of Gellert Thompson if you like," Harry said to gellert. The old man looked at Harry.
"I can create a fake identity quite easily. I still have a lot of followers which are not known to the world. Are you basically giving me a holiday?" Gellert asked Harry. The young boy just give him a nod and sipped his tea and looked outside.
"You can roam around for a while Mr. Grindelwald. I can call you easily. I can talk and call you whenever I want as per my wishes. You spent a lot of time in the prison and you need some stretching for a while. Here is a gift for you," Harry said to Grindelwald. And cast illusion spell around their table.
Harry neck become long and he bite in the neck of grindelwald. Giving him the orochimaru's famous power boost which he gave to Sasuke Uchiha. But because orochimaru's got a large experience later in his life he perfected it on the normal people.
The power boost given by Harry to Grindelwald took the same shape as the curse Mark of Sasuke. But it is now only for a power boost and not for taking over a body.
"What is this mark? It radiates power through my body." Gellert asked Harry. He get amazed by it's power.
" Shadow demon," Harry said and a shadow demon came into existence. 'Summoning shadow demon is permanent. I can send this guy with Gellert. Their level was near 30 or 40,' Harry thought about the demon he summoned.
"Shadow demon go with Gellert Grindelwald and protect him from the unwanted danger and inform me on his behalf. Now enter in his shadow," Harry said to shadow demon. And the shadow demon entered in the shadow of Grindelwald. Gellert looked at his shadow with a curiosity.
"I can take care of myself but I cannot say no to an extra help. I believe this shadow demon can contact you if I am correct," Gellert asked to Harry. He is a man who can take advantage of everything. With a shadow demon with him it can be a disaster.
"He can help you slaughter even if you are in between of your 100 enemies. Well I have to go back to hospital. It is almost time for my next healing potion," Harry said to his old friend. He cancelled the illusion and silence spell . After paying the bill they said their goodbye.
Gellert has to leave this country and find his loyal follower. And Harry teleported himself back in St Mungo's hospital.
...St.Mungos Hospital....
Harry appeared in his room and he saw his shadow clone is pretending to sleep. He cancelled his clone and changed back to his original form with a patient dress.
He again produced a shadow clone.
"You go and check the property of my grandparents and granduncle. That is your mission. After that dispell yourself," Harry said to his shadow clone. Harry's clone disappeared from that place.
After some time Medi-witch came back and brought some potion for Harry to drink. After Harry drank the healing potions. Medi-witch asked him to sleep and he has to obey her after looking at her serious face.
...Hogwarts...
Dumbledore is relaxing in his office. When Prof. McGonagall entered in his office.
"Albus, Is everything okay with Mr. Potter ? I heard he also got a huge compensation from ministry for magic," Prof. McGonagall asked the headmaster of Hogwarts. She was expecting the ministry will pay for what it did to Harry but never thought that the boy will give them a huge financial blow.
"Yes Minerva, you heard the truth. I was expecting to bring him back in two days but the medi-witch of St.Mungos denied it. They are gonna keep him for more than four or five days," Dumbledore tells Prof.McGonagall. He is still busy thinking about the petrification incident. He doesn't know who opened the chamber of secrets this time.
"That's a relief Albus. I thought for the worst when Mr. Potter went to Azkaban. At least he can recover quickly now. And no major damage done to Lily's child," Prof.McGonagall said to Dumbledore. Now she is waiting for this petrification incident to be stopped.
"I don't understand one thing how the news of students petrification got out this time. Ministry doesn't like to show their misjudgements and corruption. But this news is known to reporters as the same time as ministry. So they are unable to suppress it," Dumbledore said to Minerva. He want to know how it happened under the nose of British magic government.
"Even I want to know who did it. But it was in the favour of Mr. Potter. I also heard 'the daily prophet' new reporter Rita seeker has many unknown ways to find the truth," Prof. McGonagall said to Dumbledore. She cannot say that she is the one who leaked the news. Dumbledore would have not agreed with her plan. She did it to save her students.
" Rita seeker is quite imaginative writer if I say. She can be dangerous if she writes anything against us. This time her target is ministry.... One more thing Minerva. Minister for magic Cornelius Fudge has sent some auror for the safety of students," Dumbledore informed her. At least this will reduce some of his pressure.
" At least Minister Fudge knows what to do in the certain situation. I thought he was the worst minister for magic ever," Prof. McGonagall spat the minister word more forcefully from her mouth. According to her, minister Fudge is a selfish guy who only care for his seat.
After talking with Dumbledore for some more time about the student in medical ward, Prof. McGonagall left to teach her class. After she left Dumbledore became busy in making new plans for Harry. Now he is no longer a Horocrux so there is no need for him to die.
...Next day.....
....Hogwarts.....
Students are eating breakfast in the Dining hall. They are talking about the recent events of Hogwarts.
"Without Quidditch matches I am bored this year," Fred Weasley said to his twin brother George Weasley. They cannot do their usual pranking. As it is dangerous for roaming outside after the class hour.
"This year is really boring. Harry went to Azkaban. I don't believe he is guilty for anything like that," George said to Fred. Fred looked at George as they cannot enjoy this year.
"Even I don't believe it. Somehow I felt it is Malfoy's fault. He is quite vocal about the incident in the recent days," Fred said to George. Malfoy's and Weasley's are like blood enemies due to their beliefs.
" Are you planning to prank Draco Malfoy. His father Lucius Malfoy was the one who sentenced Harry to Azkaban," Oliver wood said to twins. He is one of the few people who is not happy with what happened to Harry. And he got more irritated when Quidditch matches were cancelled.
"May be we can spare some..."
" time to prank that daddy's boy,"
Fred and George said one after another to Oliver wood.
"How is your younger brother? He usually hangs out with Harry and Hermione. Harry is in Azkaban and Hermione is in the medical ward due to petrification," Oliver wood asked his teammates.
"He will be fine," Fred and George said together to Oliver wood. They believe in their brother to overcome this situation. They pranked their younger brother from a very young age so they believe he can handle himself.
Owls started to bring the newspapers for students. And of course it is Daily prophet.
Oliver wood took the paper and started to read it with a shocked expression.
"What kind of news you are reading so closely Captain Oliver?" Fred asked and looked at the news. Then George saw it.
------Daily prophet news------
[Harry Potter released from Azkaban.]
All the readers know Harry Potter was sent to Azkaban last month. Day before yesterday it came to light that he was innocent. All the proves are in the favor of The-boy-who-lived is innocent. Last month minister Fudge himself went to Hogwarts and brought him to a trail. He has no evidence against him. Just because he is a parseltongue did not mean he petrified students.
Yes dear readers, Ministry sent the-boy-who -lived because he was a parseltongue. The only question remains now is who is controlling the basilisk if Harry is out of Hogwarts. Without a master it cannot attack students with such an ease. Even one of the student who was attacked recently is Hermoine Granger and she is one of the closest friend of Harry Potter.
Last month Lucius Malfoy as a main judge of the trail sent Harry Potter to Azkaban because he felt parseltongue are used for dark arts. I like to tell him that parseltongue can also be used for healing magic.
Harry Potter's wand also got snapped by minister of magic. And yesterday it was proved that Harry is innocent. Penelope Clearwater and Hermoine granger got attacked day before yesterday and now they are petrified. Now they are kept in the medical ward of Hogwarts.
Harry Potter survived the Azkaban for 15 days from any permanent damage. And ministry of magic didn't try to inform the daily prophet about his release. They tried to keep us in dark about this matter. So they shouldn't take the blame for sending a 12 year boy into the worst prison Azkaban.
Harry Potter recieved 15 million galleons as the compensation after he refused to come out of Azkaban. He also demanded that his wand should be repaired by Minister for magic Cornelius Fudge's money. After he received his compensation he was sent to St Mungo's Hospital for few days at the expenses of ministry's money. He will be able to attend Hogwarts in few days.
By Rita seeker
" Fred, are you thinking that same thing," George asked his twin brother after reading the daily prophet.
" I am thinking the same thing my twin brother," Fred said to George. Both looked at each other for few seconds.
"Harry pranked the whole ministry...."
" and just made them run out of their money,"
Fred and George said simultaneously. Oliver looks at both of them.
The dining hall became silent for few seconds when people started to read the newspaper. It shocked them how ministry of magic easily agreed to compensate Harry Potter with millions of galleons.
