Auror Problem.
Harry wakes up a while later. Hearing a ruckus in the kitchen, he gets up and heads downstairs. As he walks in through the door, his blood runs cold. Remus is cowering behind Sirius, bleeding from his shoulder, James is shouting for Regulus to stop, who is holding out his wand and bleeding from his head. Sirius and Lily also have their wands out, pointing them at Regulus. Severus is standing in the corner, just watching. He is the one who spots Harry first.
"Harry! What are you doing out of bed?" He asks, causing everyone to pause what they are doing and look towards Harry.
"I heard shouting and came down to see what was going on. What is going on?" He aims the question at James, who is staring at him like he might transform right there.
"When Sirius explained what happened last night, Reg-" His voice broke off.
"He cast a sectumsempra at Remus, luckily just grazing his shoulder. What were you thinking!?" Sirius replied, shouting the last bit at his brother, who was standing still, wand having dropped to the ground.
"Why Regulus? Why did you do that?" Harry croaked out, barely managing to stop himself from whipping out his wand and using sectumsempra at Regulus himself.
"I-I di-dnt mean to-o. It w-as ins-tinct. I-m so so-rry R-emus." Regulus choked out, tears sliding down his face.
James hurries forward, wrapping his arms around the shaking Regulus. Sirius rolled his eyes before turning to heal Remus' injury. Lily lowered her wand and turned to Harry, tightly smiling at him before sitting down on an armchair. Harry sat down in one as well, looking around. Sirius led Remus to an armchair next to Harry, sitting him down and muttering a healing spell to close the wound. James got his wand out and did the same to Regulus. Harry got up and picked Regulus' wand up from the floor, handing it to James before sitting back down. James leads Regulus to an armchair across from Sirius and Remus. Sirius finishes healing Remus' cut and stands up, glaring daggers at Regulus before sitting down on the arm of Remus' chair.
"So what happens now?" Lily asks.
"I dont know Lils, Harry will have to get documented by the Creature Council first before anything can happen," Sirius replies, looking weary.
"The ministry will also have to be informed. But that means the news will likely get out to The Daily Prophet and we can't let that happen." Remus adds.
Everyone murmurs their agreement.
"So what's the plan?" Lily asks.
"I'll go tell the Creature Council and ask them to keep it under wraps so the Ministry doesn't find out immediately. Then we wait for their reply." Sirius sighs.
"I'll go with you, they need to know I did it," Remus says, standing up as Sirius does.
Sirius agrees and they head to the floo, leaving Harry alone with James, Regulus, Lily, and Severus.
This is going to cause fighting.
"Im going to have some food, im hungry," Harrys says, standing up and walking to the kitchen.
He closes the door behind him and breaths a sigh of relief when he is alone. He moves to the cupboard and grabs the cereal and a bowl. He pours himself a serving and puts it away, before grabbing some milk to add. He pours that in as well and puts the milk back in the fridge then grabs a spoon from the drawers. He sits down at the table and begins to eat, thinking about what he should do.
I should tell Ron and Hermione about this before Hogwarts. They need to know.
Harry summons some ink, a quill, and some parchment and writes letters to them both, asking them to meet in Diagon Alley tomorrow. He finishes writing and eats the rest of his cereal, putting the bowl in the sink before walking back to the living room. He sees James and Regulus sitting next to each other, conversing about something while Lily and Severus are glaring at the couple. Harry rolls his eyes and walks through, up to his room. He sees Hedwig and sends her off with the letters. He then changes out of his dirty clothes and into some clean but comfy ones. He then grabs his book and sits down on his bed, reading till he hears the floo and people arriving. He puts the book down and walks downstairs. As he enters the living room, he sees 4 Aurors standing there with two other people who are sending everyone else to the other side of the room.
"What's going on-" Harry starts, but he gets tackled.
"Harry!"
"Oi, get off him!"
"Harry! Stop!"
"Please stop resisting, we must get Mr.Potter to the safe rooms we have at the Ministry." A voice replies, silencing the others.
Harry tilts his head, managing to see Sirius and James trying to get through the Aurors. He gets hauled up and someone ties his hand behind his back. They shove him to the fireplace, grabbing some floo powder and heading to the ministry. Harry turns his head, just in time to see Sirius and Remus' faces filled with rage, before he gets flooed to somewhere.
