Firework

Title: Firework

Fandom: Harry Potter

Pairings: LuciusxSeverus, mentions of past/unrequited NarcissaxRegulus, one-sided HarryxDraco?, mentions of TedxAndromeda

Summary: A little AU after the First Task for all his apparent forgiveness of Ron for abandoning him, he's incapable of forgetting. The Triwizard Tournament forced Harry to grow up and changed the way he looked and things as well as what he focused on. Complete AU from the day of the Third Task. Harry doesn't want to participate in the Tournament; he has said he has no wish to win. What happens when he refuses to search for the Triwizard Cup?

A/N: The title is in reference to the song by Katy Perry. If fit the story so well when it came on the radio after I took a dinner break while writing. Prior to that song playing this fic had no name. Its just a random story idea that I couldn't shake but it seems to be shaping into a nice storyline.

Sorry it too so long, it wasn't co-operating but here it is, a bit short but it has some development...

Chapter 22

With Remus busy with sorting the pack out- Lucius offered them a Malfoy Property in Poitou, France formerly the residence of his uncle Apollus Malfoy.

It was a large, a château not far from Aquitaine where Delacours were from. It would be easier for Remus' charge Carys Martin the daughter of the previous alpha to adjust to attending Beauxbatons if she lived there.

Remus flooed over often and spent much of his time dealing with the packs squabbles and even meeting with Madame Maxime, the Headmistress of Beauxbatons on his charges behalf.

Therefore leaving Harry and Draco's schooling to Lucius and Severus.

Lucius was skilled at a lot of subjects like charms and transfiguration.

Severus knew a lot about Defence, the Dark Arts and Potions, which was why he had been the Potions Master and why he applied for the defence post, every year only to have another useless moron- with the exception of Remus hired in his stead.

Hopefully, with the former Dark Lord in custody and soon if Amelia had her way tried

Harry was under orders from Severus to attend mind healer sessions with Ted for multitudinous reasons ranging from Ron's betrayal, Sirius' abandonment and the Dursleys.

Draco also had to attend them due to his own attack by Ronald who thankfully was cast off from the Weasley family.

Molly and Arthur were legally separated due to Molly's refusal to abandon her son. So the papers reported anyway.

Since the Burrow was a Prewett property Arthur moved out bag and baggage to return to Weasley Hall.

There were rumours about a possible divorce or annulment but the Weasleys remained mum about it.

Dumbledore's complacency in the attack led to his being vilified in the Prophet with Fudge beginning a crusade to force Dumbledore's retirement.

Kingsley remained at his post but there was some talk of annexing Hogwarts so it fell more under the control of the Minister for Magic.

The ministry had never had control of Hogwarts it was the replacement for the old Wizard's Council of the British Isles. Originally, Ireland, Britain, Scotland and Wales maintained different Ministries but with their numbers dropping and the pureblood lines disappearing they four Ministries consolidated in the mid-1800s.

Members of titled lines still with magical descendents remained in power in the main law giving body while a council was set up to oversee trials.

All of this history Lucius insisted on his son and his friend learning.

The Ghost Professor ought of have been fired, banished or forced beyond the Veil. He failed at his subject and few if any learned.

Which is why so few managed History of Magic OWLS and almost no one attempted their NEWTS.

Another thing to consider…

Perhaps, he should speak with the other Governors about hiring policies?

The professors hired in the 1990s proved that Albus was growing desperate or something.

Kingsley and Remus were about the only decent professors he knew of…

He worried for Harry even with a glamour the scars that Draco mentioned along with those from those nasty Muggles.

Lucius loved Severus, Harry was his mate's nephew and someone Draco seemed much attached to.

Someone had to protect the children…

Lucius was going to have Albus suspended or expelled. Somehow…

…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

A/N: Healing Harry will become a priority along with their education of course that means mental and physical healing.
