Chapter 50 - Prison Break

It was a slightly chilly morning when Harry woke up with a large yawn. His bones cracking as he stretched out after rolling out of bed. Tripping over Teddy he tumbled out of the room with a loud bang.

"Ow."

Entering the dining living room, Harry found Dumbledore just lightly laughing at his slight misfortune. However, Harry's emerald eyes instantly locked onto the newspaper in his hands. Since on the cover a very important piece was on the cover.

Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban.

"The Minister isn't going to be placing dementors around Hogwarts again will he?" Harry asked with a small yawn.

"He was thinking about it, but I managed to persuade him otherwise with Amelia Bones." Dumbledore replied as he lightly sipped his black coffee. "It seems since the death of Dorles Umbridge, Fudge has been using his head for other things besides how to look good in front of the camera."

"Indeed. Though I wondered what change made it so she died this time as she was still living four decades in the future." Harry said.

Dumbledore just stared at him, but didn't say anything. While he had a small hunch Harry knew, he wasn't about to interrogate him. Since truthfully he didn't have any good feelings for Umbridge either.

"Now the question is will Fudge believe us this time or choose the easy route and just deny it?" Harry asked thinking back.

He could remember the time he tried to say Sirius was innocent but due to Snape. The Minister just said he and Hermione were confused children and left. Which forced him back to the Dursley's once more instead of his godfather's place.

"Harry, you should trust me. I have been gaining some support over the last year while you have been sleeping around." Dumbledore answered with a small sparkle in his eye before speaking dramatically. "All those young maidans being poisoned by your claws."

"I will let you know most weren't virgins since I mostly aim for the older students and those that are virgins. Well their legs are locked tighter than a dragon guarding its eggs."

"I didn't need to know that." Dumbledore grumbled which made Harry smile.

He enjoyed their small banters as it was entertaining even if both learned something useless from the other. For a example, Dumbledore despite being gay kepted a few play wizard and playboy magizines. Though they mostly just sit on the shelf in the living room.

'Those magazines weren't any good either. Most of those models are over fifty with kids or grandkids in or about to enter Hogwarts. Why does he have to keep such out of date magazines.' Harry thought sadly.

Truthfully he was a bit excited when he saw them and took a look through them, but in the end. He was disappointed that he had to have Fleur send him up to date ones and a few personal photos. Luckily she didn't disappoint him with some of those photos.

"Harry your drooling."

"I'm just thinking of Fleur's gift she sent me."

Dumbledore wisely chose not to continue the topic. He learned that while Harry sleeps around he is very protective of his lovers and wives. Saying something bad about them would send Harry into a spiral of grumpiness for the next few days after he beats you.

"The new school year will begin in a few days. So much work to do." Dumbledore said as he got up.

"A year to research automata. I wonder if Hogwarts got any books on the subject." Harry rubbed his chin. "It also has been a while since any news of the mysterious wizard surfaced. Did he die or go into hiding?"

"I'm not sure, there isn't any news of any villages being wiped out." Dumbledore frowned. "It is worrying to say the least."

"You might want to start asking around in nearby countries. There is no guarantee that he would even stay in Magical Britain."

"I already have and there is nothing." Dumbledore replied, making a silence fall between them.

"We can only wait it seems."

A sad nod came as waiting meant more bodies of all ages. However, there wasn't anything they could do.

A few days passed by since that conversation and before Harry realized it. He found himself sitting on the Hogwarts Express waiting for Daphne and Katie to appear.When he heard the door open he assumed it was them and looked over the book he was reading.

Neither blonde or dirty blonde filled his eyes but two redheads and not of the right ones either. There Ron and Ginevra Weasley were in the entrance before taking a seat.

"Harry mate. You didn't respond to any of my letters this summer." Ron said.

"I'm sorry Ron but I've been pretty busy this summer and didn't really have time to respond." Harry lied smoothly.

While Ron just nodded his sister didn't look convinced as she sat there silently blushing. She appeared ready to slap him, but couldn't break her act or Harry thought. In the end though he was not a mind reader and even if he was the thought of entering her head. It was enough to turn him green for a week.

"Umm, why are you sitting with me?" Harry asked straight forward.

By the end of the year or even the middle of the year, him and Ron drifted apart for the most part. While he would chat with him once in a while it was more of an acquaintance then a friend. Now Ron was treating him as if they were best buds again.

"What are you talking about?" Ron asked as if confused by the question.

Shaking his head, Harry stood up. "I'm going to the washroom."

Giving him a thumbs up, Harry left the compartment and looked for another one. After traveling five compartments down he found Daphne heading towards him and another empty compartment.

A smile blossomed as right behind her, Katie also appeared with hearts in her eyes.

"My Alpha." Katie dove past Daphne and clung herself around Harry's body. As she drooled at his smell. "I missed you so much."

"Thank you, Katie." Harry greeted as he peeled her off and placed his palm gently on her cheek. "It has been a while since we met again."

"Mmm," Katie nodded.

"She is like a dog reuniting with her master." Daphne jokes.

"Nice to see you again Daphne."

"We saw each other less than two weeks again."

"And it felt like forever." Harry dramatically said.

"Haha," Daphne rolled her eyes before opening up the empty compartment. "Shall we?"

A grin appeared on three different faces.
