Then, there was Lily, who whined to him that her son had received detention on his first day and was treated badly. He didn’t like this that John had detention on his first day of school. It made a bad image on the boy to the other students and he needed someone that could lead the light. Albus also realized that in the last five years John had been painted in a very bad light due to the revelation that he was going to be a mediocre wizard for the rest of his life. The public knew about the boy’s condition and the wizarding world was disappointed about their boy-who-lived being weak. He had tried to empower him, but how? No one was willing to borrow magic to the boy willingly. He thought about the Longbottom boy, but Alice and Frank would have his hide for this and he was not going to mess up with this battle-axe Augusta. That woman could destroy his reputation in the elite circle and his life would be ruined. He didn’t need that now, because Augusta was also a close friend with Muriel Prewett and those two women alone could make a complete mess in his plans.
