Chapter 111:
Harry growled under his breath. "Acting out, sir?" Harry couldn’t believe he wanted to blame Sirius and Remus for his acting out. Sure, Harry was setting more things in motion this year, but the fact the man wished to blame his guardians infuriated him. He had heard from Sirius and knew he and Lucius had started to work on the Board of Governors and together were weakening Dumbledore’s image.
"Yes, Harry. I know it is you behind the Defence Against the Dark Arts boycott," he said, sending the boy a disappointed look.
"Oh, professor?" "Don’t act as though you don’t know what I’m talking about. It was you who first started this and now I am being pelted with letters and owls demanding to know why students are not attending their lessons. Your actions have left me in quite a situation, Harry."
"I’m sorry about that professor, that wasn’t my intention—" Harry said before being cut off.
"Good, then you will return to your lessons. You must know how important Defence Against the Dark Arts is; you of all people should realise how the Dark arts are evil."
Harry fought to not narrow his eyes. "As I was saying, it wasn’t my intention, but I will not be attending Mr. Lockhart’s lessons. The man is a fraud."
Albus narrowed his eyes. "Detention, Mr. Potter. Such words have serious consequences. Now, you will return to his lessons or you will find yourself in even more trouble. Do I make myself clear?"
"I’m sorry, headmaster, but I will not," Harry said. "I am happy to sit for the end of year tests now to prove I do not need to attend his so called lessons."
"That is enough. You are a child and you will obey me."
