The Real Harry Potter

"I apologise Sirius, that is not what I meant," Dumbledore said, backpedalling before Sirius could get more angry. "I am merely saying that this building, while your house, is also the headquarters for the order. As leader of the order I should at least be made aware if there is someone else who can access the building, what if you had told someone the secret without letting me know and they kidnapped you and tortured the location out of you? All I ask is to be informed if somebody is aware of this location."

"I understand that Dumbledore, but first of all I never intended to keep it from you as I am well aware that Mrs Weasley would have told you anyway," Sirius said, he was a little surprised that the woman had not already told Dumbledore but thought that it was likely because she was probably still fussing over Granger. "besides she was trusted by Harry and therefore she is trusted by me."

"Very well," Dumbledore sighed, knowing it was better to not argue. "perhaps you could continue with your story Harry."

"Fine," Harry replied. "I go out with Sirius the next day, Tonks came with us as well, we meet Fleur and all four of us spent some time together before we came home. When we came back, we heard a scream and go upstairs to my room where we find Hermione on the floor. Mr Weasley said he saw her fall and drop a book, this very specific book," Harry said as he tapped the Potter family grimoire. "a book that she was told not to read."

"Perhaps Miss Granger had simply picked it up and..."

"Nope," Harry cut Dumbledore off, "simply touching or picking the book up does not activate its defences. Watch this." Harry said as he placed the book in Sirius's hands carefully, making sure to not accidently open it, Harry let go and Sirius sat still for several seconds straight without moving a single muscle. "See," Harry said as he took the book back. "you have to open it."

"Hmm," Dumbledore hummed while stroking his beard. "maybe Miss Granger did not realise that it was..."

"Sorry to interrupt but yes she did," Harry cut Dumbledore off. "Granger always reads the titles of books before she opens them, she knew what she was reading and she knew that she was not supposed to read it. The Grimoire defences activated and she ended up in hospital."

"Hmm," Dumbledore stroked his beard once more with a thoughtful expression on his face. "perhaps I could examine the book and..."

"No." Harry said immediately, stopping Dumbledore from finishing his sentence.

"Harry my boy I will not open it, I will simply just..."

"No, you can not examine my family grimoire." Harry interrupted as he protectively held the book. "Sirius is my godfather and I did not like even letting him touch it."

"I understand the connection and importance a grimoire has to a family," Dumbledore responded. "but perhaps with just a few simple spells I will be able to come up with a way to counter the damage done to Miss Granger's arm."

"You would not be able to even if I did let you take my grimoire," Harry replied. "you are not touching it. Move on."

"If you insist," Dumbledore said, looking very disappointed in Harry. "I understand that you kicked Miss Granger out of the house Sirius."

"I have," Sirius nodded. "what she did is a horrible crime that could very well lead to her being sent to Azkaban or to her death if people were to find out. I think kicking her out but still offering to pay for a place for her to stay is nicer than anything anyone else would do."

"Mrs Weasley has expressed some concerns about allowing her children to return here," Dumbledore said in a soft voice. "Miss Granger was not only harmed but harmed and then kicked out."

"Because she could not obey the simple law of 'no touch'." Harry responded. "Sirius and I are not in the wrong here and we will not act or pretend that we were, Granger got off lucky and she knows it."

"Is there nothing I can do that will convince you to change your mind about letting Mis Granger return?" Dumbledore asked.

"Nothing we can think of." Sirius replied. "My decision is final Dumbledore."

"If you are sure," Dumbledore said as he stood up. "you remember that there will be an order meeting tonight?" Dumbledore asked Sirius.

"Yes, I do." Sirius nodded.

"I will see you there. Goodbye Sirius, goodbye Mr Potter." Dumbledore said before he walked off.

Tonks was grinning at the latest order of the Phoenix meeting, Sirius and Dumbledore had left the room, Tonks believed it was so they could have an argument over Sirius letting Snape into the house, personally Tonks hoped that Sirius would win. She had never liked Snape, the smarmy git was an asshole who shouldn't be allowed near people as far as she was concerned. But the interesting part was the fact that Sirius had invited Harry downstairs to show everyone the memory of his fight with Apophis. Sirius had set the pensive down on the table and left with Dumbledore while Harry put the memory in.

Tonks and Harry sat down next to each other while the memory played, Tonks who had already seen the memory only put part of her attention on watching the memory and part on watching the rather hilarious reactions from the others. The Weasley kids were allowed to come and watch as well seeing as the meeting had not officially started yet, well not much allowed as they had refused to leave without seeing the memory, plus the memory started playing before Mrs Weasley could kick them out.

"Hey." Harry whispered in her ear and tapped her hand to get her attention, she looked at him and saw him gesture in the direction of the Weasleys. Tonks looked to where he was gesturing and saw all of the Weasley's open jawed in shock and disbelief, including Molly Weasley. Tonks thought that was especially funny seeing as Mrs Weasley was of the opinion that Harry should be treated like an innocent baby, Tonks could imagine the shock going through the woman's body as she watched him go spell for spell with such a strong and dangerous dark wizard, the youngest male Weasley was not looking much better.

The other members were all in shock and or awe as they watched Harry fight. When the memory was finished everyone turned to look at Harry who simply smiled and waved at them.

"You sure you don't want to become an auror?" Kingsley asked Harry.

"Still no I am afraid," Harry responded before he grinned. "why? Hoping I would do your job for you?"

"You can do my job for me if you want," Tonks responded. "half of the bloody stuff is paper work."

"Hmm, you poor soul." Harry said as he patted her on the shoulder.

"See," Tonks said to Shacklebolt. "he gets it." She added as she gestured to Harry, Shacklebolt did not verbally respond but did roll his eyes, all too familiar with the young aurors love of complaining about paperwork.

"Where did you learn all that?" One member of the order asked Harry.

"Hogwarts." Harry shrugged. "The restricted section in the library, some from books in my vault. A lot of practise as well."

"You could probably join the duelling circuit if you want." Tonks said.

"Maybe." Harry said with a thoughtful look. "Still, I have got plenty of years left before I have to decide what I am going to do after school."

"It is never to early to start thinking about it though," Remus replied. "although I do agree that you will be fine waiting a few years before making any final decisions." Remus said right before Sirius and Dumbledore walked in. Judging by the look on Dumbledore's face and the look on Sirius's face, many had realised that Sirius had won the argument.

"The meeting is about to start." Dumbledore said, which spurred Molly Weasley into parent mode.

"Kids, out now." She said as she began herding her children out.

"Have fun." Harry whispered to Tonks and patted her knee before he stood up and left the room, Sirius looked at him and Harry gave him a small nod to let him know that he was glad that the man had refused to let Snape in. Sirius showed no reaction beyond a small smile and nod but internally he was jumping with joy as he was not only able to make things difficult for Snivellus but also make his godson happy at the same time.

That evening Harry was just about to go to bed when he heard a knock on the door.

"Harry," A voice whispered, "it's me, Ginny. Can you open the door please?" her voice asked. Harry walked forwards and opened the door, allowing her to enter.

"What's up Gin?" Harry asked as he closed the door. "Are we..." Harry was interrupted by Ginny pulling him into a passionate kiss and pushing him against his door, Harry absently performed some locking and privacy charms on the door before he placed his focus solely on the redhead. "Whoa, what was that for?" Harry asked once she broke off.

"That fight was just...ah! I mean I am glad you are okay but that was hot!" She said before kissing him again, Harry was tempted to ask her about how the fight was 'hot' but decided he didn't really care.
