HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 127 ]

Ron looked at Percy as if he had betrayed him, "but Percy you're supposed to be on my side"

"I am on your side Ron, and I'm trying to keep you from doing something monumentally stupid, now go." Percy told him sternly.

Ron looked like he wanted to argue, still with his wand raised as he looked at the three wands still trained on him before gritting his teeth and lowering his wand as he turned and stormed back up the stairs to the dorms.

Harry and Neville both sighed as they lowered their wands before Magnus just rolled his eyes as with a flick of his wrist his wand shot back into its holster on his wrist.

Percy turned back to them after he watched Ron go and sighed, "I apologise for my youngest brothers' actions Heir Black, he can be difficult sometimes," he said trying to apologise for Ron's actions.

"that's putting it mildly I think," Magnus mused in return.

Percy winced at his words but nodded, "All the same, I would like to thank you on behave of house Weasley for the service you have provided in revealing the danger none of us knew about, you can expect a letter from my father over the next day or so with his thanks as well."

Magnus nodded, "you're welcome, though do not expect that this will keep me from bringing Ronald's actions up with him, this is not the first time that he and I have crossed one another, and I don't expect it will be the last."

Percy sighed and nodded, "I don't expect them to, but you have my word that I will personally try to see to it that you have as little as problems with my younger brother while I am still attending Hogwarts."

Magnus sighed, "that would be appreciated Percy." He said with a nod.

Percy smiled slightly glad that he could at least try to fix matters, though he doubted he would be able to get through Ron's stubbornness, he then looked to Harry and Neville.

"As for you two, take ten points each for being brave and standing up for a friend when he needed it," Percy told them.

Though all of them knew that Magnus didn't really need their help, given how they had all seen him thrash Malfoy only a few days before.

But he wanted to reward them as well as make up for the house points that he had taken due to Ron's foolishness. Besides, it was the principle of the thing.

Both boys nodded their thanks to him for the points as Magnus smirked before checking the time and sighing, "I had best be going, it's almost curfew," he said before saying his goodbyes and heading out of the Gryffindor common room to return to the Ravenclaw dorms for the night.

….

Dumbledore sat behind his desk in his office with a pensive look on his face, the matters of the day weighing heavily on his mind.

Never had he thought that things could start to unravel as they had with Pettigrew being found.

He could only rest assured knowing that Pettigrew had not been able to name him as the one who cast the Fidelius Charm on the Potters cottage and made him the secret keeper instead of Sirius.

With Pettigrew having been in Hogwarts for years as the Weasley children's pet, it had only been too easy for him to invite Percy up to his office in the past and see to it that their memories were altered while under the guise of congratulating Percy on his school work.

He had already reached out to his various contacts within the ministry to find out what was going on, and much to his annoyance notice had already been sent out to the various members of the Wizengamot about the trial that would be held at noon the next day, there would be no way for him to stop it as it seemed that Fudge himself was pushing to clear the matter quickly.

He had been unable to reach the minister to find out just why he was doing so as the one who had apprehended Sirius all those years ago this matter would come back to bite him as well regardless of the fact that it had been others who had sent Sirius to Azkaban without a trial.

With no other options available to him as Dumbledore knew that Sirius would be found innocent now, he had begun formulating plans as to how he would be able to keep Sirius from taking custody of Harry.

While he knew that it was possible that his years growing up with the Dursleys would have already affected him he wanted to keep him exactly where he could keep an eye on him.

The wards around the Dursleys house not only keep others from finding Harry but allowed him to keep tabs on him and monitor him while he was there.

Harry was crucial to his plan and he could not allow him to be out of his control even if in the slightest way if everything was to go to plan.

He had been so busy that evening making floo calls that he had never noticed the enraged look that he was receiving from the portrait of Phineas Black, before the previous headmaster got up from his seat and silently left his portrait with a hard look in his eyes.

-Tonks training-

Nymphadora "Don't use my first name," Tonks was not having a good day.

It had started out just like any other day since she had begun her training as an Auror recruit with Moody as her instructor.

She had even gotten to have an hour off that evening when Moody had to go off to Hogwarts to observe her little cousin's honour duel against that Malfoy brat.

She didn't even know how it had went yet because the second Moody had gotten back he had dragged her off to train.
