"I am Adam Jessup, one of those sent to inspect this school by the Wizengamot and the Department of Magical Education for the British Ministry." He told her then added. "Actually Madam, you should be more worried about your daughter's actions, because they are going to cause her to be expelled."
" Expelled! " Molly's voice got louder and more piercing. "My baby was attacked by Potter and you tell me you are going to expel her!"
"No," Jessup told her softly. "Your daughter is going to be expelled for her admitted attack on the person of Luna Lovegood. Since her wand was transformed with her, her expulsion will have to wait until she is returned to Hogwarts after the end of the Christmas Break."
Arthur spoke up for the first time. "Dumbledore, you can't allow this to happen! Ginny is a good girl. I'm sure it was an accident."
"I'm afraid that he has no choice. He has been lenient far too many times in the past to Gryffindors and if he were to give your daughter preferential treatment after what she admitted to in the Great Hall in front of too many witnesses, he would be removed as Headmaster… permanently ." A woman sitting beside Mr. Jessup spoke up. "The rules governing Hogwarts and its students are quite clear. Unless the student has been attacked by another, any fatal attack, nearly fatal attack, or attack that leaves another student disabled, requires that the attacking student be expelled and compensation be provided to the student or their family if the student doesn't survive the attack. It was put in place over four hundred years ago to keep the hexes and curses being used by the students from being fatal. The only reason there may not be Aurors at her expulsion will be if Mr Lovegood as Head of his family confirms that he agreed to let Mr. Potter resolve this matter for him except for the matter of the compensation for your daughter's attack on his only child."
"Whether he can be expelled or not, I want Potter removed from this school." Molly insisted. "He is a danger to all the students. He has shown he doesn't care about us or anyone else in the Wizarding world. He is slowly destroying my family in the process of your trying to get him to forgive us. Because of his actions, Ron is no longer a prefect and Ginny is facing expulsion. Why are you insisting on keeping him here?"
Ginny the dog barked angrily and growled the thought of not having access to the man she loved. Even though he was angry at her now, she knew there was one thing she could give him that he had wanted all his life, a family, and she would put that plan into operation once she was back in human form. All it would take is the potion she had hidden in her trunk. She had gotten Dung to buy it just in case and with the hope that she would never have to use it, but it now looked like she would have no choice, if she was to get her man.
"I'm sorry Molly, but that can't be done." Dumbledore had a look of regret on his face. "While I know it doesn't appear that way, it is for the good of the Wizarding world in the long term. Mr. Potter has to realise that he belongs here among us."
Molly crossed her arms over her chest and snorted. "I don't see that happening. It has been over four months since you began this grand plan of yours, but there are no signs of him beginning to thaw toward the wizarding world or us over what happened last year. You mark my words Dumbledore, you may be good at getting people to do what you want, but this time you are going to fail and we in the wizarding world are going to pay the price for it."
A Very Merry Unbirthday To Me
The irritation Molly Weasley was feeling rose up another notch as she and her husband stepped into the meeting room at Gringotts and found there were a number of people already there. She recognized a number of them as being from Dark and borderline Dark families, including Narcissa Malfoy. She wasn't really surprised to find that they had kept things that rightfully belonged to innocent children, but she didn't belong here. She had nothing that belonged to the Weyland family. The tiara that Dantes was trying to take from her rightfully belonged to the Prewitt family. Her family would never have kept anything that didn't rightfully belong to them and she wasn't about to let anyone take away the last thing she had to remember her Great Aunt Muriel by.
She was also very annoyed that the place they were supposed to meet Mr. Dantes had been changed from the Ministry to Gringotts at the last minute. According to what Arthur had been told by Josiah Weems, the court clerk, when he asked about the change, Mr. Dantes had requested the change saying he would prefer it to be held somewhere where he would have immediate access to reliable information regarding the condition the Weyland properties were supposed to be in as well as an accurate assessment of their value. She was going to have a few choice words to say to that young man about the deliberate insult he'd given to her husband and the other honest people who worked at the Ministry, by implying that none of them could be trusted to tell the truth or do the right thing. Arthur was the most honourable man she knew.
As she tightened her grip on her squirming daughter, Molly growled, "I can't believe I have to come here and defend my right to keep my property. I intend to end this farce right now."
"Now, Molly, dear, we'll get it all sorted out." Arthur tried to calm her down as she started pushing her way through the small clusters of people gathered in the room.
