Curse chose not to flee, instead he walked straight towards the aurors. Dumbledore tried to converse with him but it appears he was unwilling to do so, auror Kingsley Shacklebolt has taken him away, his trial date is still to be discussed.
And now that ends the news, however before I leave I will answer the unanswered question you all probably have. Who is Curse? Who is the hooded mystery? Who is the man responsible for hunting down and killing death eaters? Who is the man that poses as our guardian angel at night?
Well ladies and gentlemen, allow me to provide you all with the answer to all those questions just before I finish up. Are you ready folks? i still can't believe it and I was there! Curse is non-other than the beloved saviour of the wizarding world and boy-who-lived, that's right people, Curse is in fact Harry James Potter! It appears he has taken the title 'saviour of the wizarding world' to heart and is doing his best to actively protect it. News of his trial will come around shortly, good night folks"
Neville turned the radio off, everyone was silent, a fly's wings could be heard over the amount of noise in the room. Nobody knew what to say, nobody wanted to talk first. The DA members that were present were told what was going to happen but still didn't expect him to actually do it or they really didn't believe he was Curse.
"H…H…Harry is C…Curse" Hermione took a massive breath
"I shared a dorm with a murderer" Ron did the same
"Ron" George whispered "it my have escaped your notice"
"But you're related to a murderer" Fred continued
"As in he is your brother-in-law" George finished
"Ginny" Hermione and Ron turned to the red head who was idly reading a page form her book
"Yeah?" Ginny asked as if everything was normal
"You knew" Hermione accused "you knew all about this didn't you?"
"Yeah" Ginny nodded "and what?"
"Ginny!" Ron shouted "he's a murderer"
"Yes Ronald" Ginny closed her book and looked at her brother and his annoying friend "but he's my murderer"
"Ginny he's dangerous!" Ron argued
"To anybody with a dark mark, but not to me" Ginny said confidently
"Ginny, you need to break up with him!" Hermione ordered "he kills people and he fought Dumbledore! Who knows what he'll do next?!"
"Hermione's right" Ron agreed loudly "you need to break up with him!"
"I would Ron, if not for the fact that I don't want to break up with him" Ginny calmly replied "besides, in case you've forgotten he's my husband and not my boyfriend. I can't really break up with him, can I?"
"Ginny you could divorce him" Hermione pointed out
"Not really Granger" Ginny smiled "there's no such thing as divorce in the magical world, in the muggle world yes, but not in the wizarding world. Besides, like I said, I don't really want to break up with Harry."
"Ginny!" Hermione shrieked "he's a murder"
"You're repeating yourself Granger" Ginny pointed out "besides, Harry only goes after people who deserve it, It's not like he just kills people at random."
"Ginny!" Ron shouted "you are going to listen to me right now! I am your big brother! And I am ordering you to break off from Harry!"
The room went even more silent, everyone prepared for Ginny to hex Ron, Hermione even backed away a little. But surprisingly, Ginny didn't, she stood up slowly with the book still in her hand, she walked over to her brother who was too angry to realise that he was in danger.
"I'd be careful Ron" Ginny spoke slowly, yet her voice was still very scary "Harry hasn't been charged yet and if there is anyone who can get out of this situation, it's Harry, he performs impossible feats on a daily basis. Now take a moment and think, do you really want to order around someone whose known for having a temper AND also has a husband who has fought and beat both Albus Dumbledore and Voldemort? Before you answer, I'd like to remind you that it is common knowledge that Harry would probably destroy the entire castle if it means making me happy" Ginny gave Ron a little smile before walking upstairs.
"She's mental" Ron exclaimed "like there's anyway Harry can get out of this"
"Actually" Neville spoke up "it is pretty possible"
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked
"Well it's Harry so it'd be safe to believe that he has a plan in case his identity was revealed and I would not underestimate the man who put Dumbledore in hospital and beat Voldemort. Plus there is the fact that people see Curse as a bit of a hero"
"Hero? What are you on about?!" Ron demanded
"Haven't you ever read a newspaper about Curse?" Seamus asked "they always put him in a good light and make him look like a hero. A lot of people like him"
"It's true" Dean nodded "think about it this way, Curse is a vigilante, which means he doesn't work for anybody but is going after death eaters. That already puts him in a positive light even if you forget the fact that he's responsible for the crime rates decreasing."
"Plus all the aurors love him" Neville added "despite what people say, he's made their jobs easier because they have less death eaters and crime to deal with plus. Which also makes the people feel safer."
"And there is Fudge as well" Dean added "after spending a year saying you-know-who is dead, he's probably really embarrassed that he's been proven wrong."
"Yeah" Neville nodded "I bet a lot of people are probably upset with him about that, so he probably doesn't want to put Harry Potter the boy-who-lived, saviour of the wizarding world and beloved vigilante on trial as well. Face it Ron, Harry is pretty likely to come back to Hogwarts."
Those words were left in the air with most people in that room being confident he would come back while one red headed boy hoped to Merlin that he didn't.
