Harry Potter The Serpent’s Turn

"Alright, alright, anyway 'they' didn't apologise. Granger did apologise but Weasley did not, I believe he was under the impression that I would have simply forgiven him and that we'd be friend again. I chose not to accept Granger's apology, but as far as I'm aware that is not a crime nor is the act a punishable offence by school rules."

"They said you insulted them, that is a punishable offense." Snape said, looking proud of himself.

"If you're going to punish me for simple school insults then I insist that Draco Malfoy be punished as well." Harry smirked.

"What?!" Snape demanded. "Have you fell on your head boy?! You must have since you're brain is clearly not working."

"Ah hem," Harry coughed and looked at Dumbledore, he then gestured with his head to Snape. "you want to do something about that or should I ask Professor Moody to do it?"

"Severus," Dumbledore sighed. "please control yourself."

"Very effective." Harry said sarcastically while rolling his eyes. "Now if I may continue, Snape said that..."

"Professor Snape." McGonagall corrected.

"Snape said that insults are a punishable offence," Harry said as if he hadn't heard her. "well in that case Draco Malfoy should be punished. He's been insulting me, Miss Granger and Mr Weasley since first year. He has called Miss Granger 'mudblood' and Mr Weasley 'blood traitor' on many occasions while also calling me 'scar head' amongst many other things, and that's just this year. So if you're going to put me in detention or take points from me for insulting people, not that you could this year since I am a champion, then I insist that Malfoy loses the same amount and is right next to me in detention."

"Why you little brat!" Snape snarled.

"Snape!" Moody snapped, aiming his wand at the scowling potions master.

"Alastor, lower your wand." Dumbledore ordered.

"I will lower my wand when you control your little pet death eater!" Moody responded.

"Death eater?" Harry glanced at Snape. "Hmm, that does explain quite a lot. I mean unlikable, death eater behaviour..."

"Enough," Dumbledore interrupted. "Alastor you will lower your wand. And Severus, you will control yourself!" Dumbledore demanded, his face daring the potions master to argue against him. Snape glared at everyone in the room before taking a step back and nodding to Dumbledore, Dumbledore looked to Moody who looked quite disappointed missing out on a chance to blast Snape, not that Harry could blame him as hurting Snape was a lovely dream that Harry had at least once a week, Moody reluctantly lowered his wand before gesturing Harry to continue.

"Alright, I told them that I didn't want to be their friend anymore, something that once again does not break any rules and is not punishable by British or Hogwarts laws, then I tried to leave. I only took a few steps when Ron Weasley started getting aggressive so I blasted him."

"Mr Weasley and Miss Granger have said that you shot the first spell without provocation." McGonagall frowned, not believing him.

"Oh I had plenty of provocation. First of all if you build up all my emotions from since they abandoned and betrayed me, plus I had just beat a dragon only to have the two traitors come in and then demand that we suddenly be friends again. Then like I said, Weasley got aggressive."

"How did he get aggressive?" Dumbledore asked.

"Professor Moody," Harry turned to Moody, his willingness to call Moody 'Professor Moody' was not lost on anyone. "if you had just fought a dragon for a tournament you didn't care about and told two traitors that you didn't want anything to do with them after a long time of being emotional and walked off, what would you do if one of them suddenly grabbed you by the shoulder and span you around before shouting in your face?"

"A few weeks in the hospital wing if they're lucky." Moody answered.

"So would you say that incapacitating them followed by a simple hex is overboard?"

"Under if anything Potter." Moody replied.

"There you go," Harry said as he turned back to the three teachers. "blasting Ron into Granger was unintentional," It was not. "however when they both got up I saw them draw their wands. I dealt with Granger first as she was the bigger threat and then I dealt with Weasley, the slug hex was payback and my response for the spell that he had shot at me when I was dealing with Granger."

"Harry they are your friends." Dumbledore frowned.

"Not anymore, thank goodness." Harry replied. "I am finally free of both of those prats."

"Mr Potter if it wasn't for Miss Granger than your grades would be far lower." McGonagall replied.

"My grades are only so low because of Weasley and Granger." Harry responded.

"And what makes you think that?"

"Simple, I've had to hold back in class so the two prats don't be jealous. I wanted friends so I did what I could to keep them happy. If I did better than Weasley then he would complain and whine, if I did better than Granger then she would get competitive and angry with me. I am glad beyond words that I no longer have to deal with that pathetic excuse for a wizard and that insufferable know it all."

"Mr Potter." Dumbledore said in a disapproving voice.

"Hey, I was just quoting your potions master." Harry shrugged. "I've heard him call them both that so many times throughout the years, amongst other things such as 'bushy haired nightmare', 'the worst Weasley' and..."
