Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Wyatt had arrived three days ago to Azkaban and soon enough he and Harry were comfortable around one another. They may have known each other for a long time however they had never been around one another in person. They had not done anything romantic, neither felt the need to progress quickly in that area, both content to be around one another.

Harry and Wyatt spent many hours a day together, sparring or going over things they wanted the other to know. Wyatt knew that Melinda would have to be stopped but first they needed to address the issue of Harry's friends.

"Harry, I have an idea about how to bring your friends down a peg or two," Wyatt stated smiling when green eyes focused on him.

"And what did you have in mind?" Harry asked, a darkness igniting in his emerald orbs.

Wyatt moved over and began to whisper in Harry's ear, the smaller man laughing occasionally.

"Why, Wyatt, that is positively evil," Harry began, "I love it."

The sun was shining down warmly and many people were still on the campus of the University. A handsome man with blonde hair and wearing a casual suit walked over the grass and towards the Dean of Administrations office. Entering the building he quickly made his way over to the secretary.

"Hello, I need to speak with the Dean immediately," Wyatt stated.

"Do you have an appointment?" the secretary asked.

"No, however none of you have the power to refuse me anything," Wyatt told her, a commanding tone coming into his voice.

"And who are you to come here commanding us?" a voice sounded from behind them.

Wyatt turned to see the man he wanted to speak with stood there.

"I am Wyatt Halliwell," Wyatt told them chuckling inwardly as the man's brown eyes bugged out and the secretary behind him gave a gasp. Even in the wizarding world they knew of Wyatt.

"Please, come this way," The Dean said quickly changing his tune.

"Thank you," Wyatt said with a smile.

"Now what did you wish to speak with me about?" The Dean asked once he was sat behind his desk and Wyatt was sitting too.

"I wish to speak to you about one of the students which you accepted on a scholarship for this coming academic year," Wyatt began, "one Hermione Granger."

The Weasley family were shocked from there peaceful afternoon as a scream shattered the tranquillity of the Burrow. They rushed into the kitchen to find Hermione stood with a letter in her hands, her mouth open in a silent scream, a look of shook on her face.

"Hermione dear, what's wrong?" Mrs. Weasley asked the brunette.

Hermione did not answer though and carefully Ron guided her into a seat and Mrs. Weasley pulled the letter from Hermione's hands. Her eyes scanned the letter and a frown appeared on her face.

"Oh my," Mrs Weasley murmured.

"What is it, Mum?" Ginny asked.

"Apparently there was a mistake in the scholarship…they are still offering Hermione a place at the University however they cannot offer her the scholarship anymore. They had offered the same place to both Hermione and another student due to an administration mistake and once they found out the grades they offered the scholarship to the student with the higher grades," Mrs. Weasley told them. Ron looked sad for his girlfriend, despite what people thought he truly loved his girlfriend.

"Can't Hermione's parents afford tuition fees for her?" Ginny questioned while her father hovered behind her.

"They might have been able to but they are having to pay for repairs on the Surgery since one of the water pipes broke and all their money is going into that," Arthur explained.

"Poor Hermione, she can't afford to go now," Ginny said quietly though inside she was happily dancing.

"We also do not have access to the Potter vaults since Harry's incarceration," Molly murmured, though she agreed with what Harry had asked for, that the money be donated at the NSPCC, a charity which helps abused and neglected children in the UK.

"AHHHH!" another scream came from Hermione making everyone jump once more.

"How did this happen?" Hermione began, her hands shaking, "what am I going to do? I can't afford to go now!" Hermione finished with a screech that had everyone grabbing their ears.

"Mione, I'm sure we'll find a way, many students pay there tuition at the end of the year in the Wizarding section, they get jobs," Ron told her trying to sooth her.

"I shouldn't have to get a job! I am smart! Unlike you, I should have things easier than you Ronald!" Hermione snapped.

"Now Hermione, there is no need to snap at my son, plenty of people get jobs to pay for University, even if they can afford it, it is good experience for later," Molly told Hermione sternly.

"I understand that, but how am I going to keep my grades up when I have to work?" Hermione whined.

"Well if you are as smart as you say then it shouldn't really be a problem," Ginny told her.

"Ginny!" Arthur and Molly scolded her.

"What, it didn't come out how I meant it to, I meant that Hermione is smart, she'll be able to do both anyway," Ginny defended herself, though she personally felt she got it right the first time.

"Ginny does have a point Mione, you are smart, you'll manage," Ron comforted her though Hermione shrugged off his comforting hand.

"I'll be in my room," Hermione told them and angrily walked up the stairs and into the room which used to be Percy's and was now her room when she stayed there.

"I'm going to start dinner," Molly said thinking Hermione would need her favourite food to help cheer her up.

"I'm going to write my essay," Ginny announced walking from the room and as soon as she was out of sight a smirk spread across her face.

"Whoever did this needs to be thanked," Ginny whispered and disappeared into her room with a chuckle.

"To a job well done," Harry said as he raised his glass of wine.

"To a job well done," Wyatt repeated and smiling the pair clinked there glasses together.

"So, who's next?" Harry asked Wyatt.

"Ginny Weasley."
