Chapter 32 - 31

Harry pov

Iris and I were walking to Remus office. She is happy we helped Sirius escape, however the Minister never admitted to anything. If I know her she is waiting for the right time to strike.

"Hello, Harry and Iris. I saw you both coming." Remus said before noticing my concern. "I've looked worse, believe me." He before continuing his packing. "You've been sacked." I started Iris placed a hand on my shoulder. "You knew about this didn't you?" I asked getting angry. "No. No. I resigned, actually. Don't blame your sister." He said making me look at him. "Resigned? Why?" I asked worried. I didn't want to see him go. "Well, it seems that somebody let slip the nature of my condition. This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving and parents will not want... ...well, someone like me teaching their children." He said and Iris spoke up. "I'm disgusted by people. You are a good man Uncle Mooney." She said making him smile. "Iris sweetheart don't blame others for what they don't understand." He said looking exhausted. "But Dumbledore..." I tried only to be cut off by him. "He has already... ...risked enough on my behalf. Besides, people like me are... Well, let's just say that I'm used to it by now." He said flicking his wond. "Why do you look so miserable, Harry?" He asked concerned. "None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped." I said looking down. "I took truth serum but the minister won't retract his verdict." Iris said making me look at her. "Didn't make any difference? It made all the difference in the world. You uncovered the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate. It made a great deal of difference. If I am proud of anything... ...it is of how much you have learned this year. Now, since I am no longer your teacher... ...I feel no guilt whatsoever about giving this back to you. So now I'll say goodbye, Harry, Iris. I feel sure we'll meet again sometime. Until then... ...mischief managed." He said tapping the map with his wond. "Stand back, I said! Or I'll take it upstairs if you don't settle." Ron yelled at a crowd of students. "Harry. Wherever did you get it? Can I have a go, Harry? After you, of course." A student asked me and I was confused. "What are you talking about? Quiet. Let the man through. I didn't mean to open it, Harry. It was badly wrapped. They made me do it. Did not." Ron tried putting the blame on the twins. Iris glares at the two they chuckle. " It's a Firebolt. It's the fastest broom in the world." Iris said astonished. "For me? - But who sent it?" I asked before Harmonie pipes in. "No one knows. This came with it." She said holding up a feather sitting in shadow's lap. His arm around her waist loosely. "Alright you two pay up." Iris said to the twins holding out her hands. Then looked at Ron "you as well." They grumble handing over the money. "Go on, Harry! Yeah, let's see. How fast is it, Harry?" We ran out in the courtyard and I took off. The power behind this broom is amazing.

Iris pov

I was packing my things to head home when I got an owl.

"Dear Iris Snape
The ministry of Magic regrets to inform you that you were not granted custody of one Harry James Potter. With warm regards to you and in the future."

I growl in anger but let it go because I will keep trying.

(Finally I finished this part thank you for sticking with me. The Goblet of Fire is next. Some lines will be crossed and hearts will brake. With love Mama_Wolfblood
