Dumbledore couldn't expel him, he needed Harry nearby for when Voldemort returned, Dumbledore knew it would happen eventually, Quirrell proved that. And even if it didn't happen during Harry's education then Dumbledore at least wanted to make sure that Harry would be prepared to fight when it did happen. He also had to make sure that Harry didn't go to the dark side. Harry, despite his claims, was very much leaning on the dark side. He was dangerous and Dumbledore couldn't allow him to turn to the dark side.
"Harry!" Delphi screamed as she saw Harry on his way to the Ravenclaw common room
"Hi Del, what's up?" Harry said just before he was tackled into a bone breaking hug
"You're my new brother now!" Delphi beamed at him after letting him go "You're officially my brother!"
"Well technically your mum's just my guardian now" Harry pointed out
"Do not ruin this for me!" Delphi warned
"If I mustn't" Harry sighed as Delphi hugged him again
The next day, a lot of attention was on Harry. By breakfast everyone had heard about what happened at court, apparently Harry's guardianship session was aired on the wireless radio and the whole thing, or at least everything from when Harry started talking, was written down on newspaper. A lot of people were impressed with Harry's words, some were in disbelief at the fact that the words were said to the people that basically rule the whole of magical Britain while some people didn't appreciate his words. Namely the children of some of the people he had insulted.
Not that Harry cared.
"What do you think?" Delphi conversed with Harry as the walked to potions class
"I disagree" Harry replied "there is no way in hell that that that would work, too much custard and not enough mayo."
"Harry" A voice called and the two stopped when they found Neville Longbottom standing in front of them
"Can I help you?" Harry asked
"You can start by telling me what the hell you were doing at the trial?" The normally shy boy looked at Harry with a determined expression
"Sitting, standing and speaking for the most part" Harry answered
"You embarrassed my gran"
"I embarrassed a lot of people, you're gran's not special"
"How could you chose someone like Bellatrix bloody Lestrange to be your guardian?!" Neville demanded "She tortured my parents into insanity"
"I'm sure your right Neville, I guess the truth serum was faulty the day she had her trial" Harry said sarcastically
"Harry, stop defending her!"
"Hey, my mum didn't do anything!" Delphi glared at him "She was friends with your mother!"
"Don't talk about my mother!"
"Then don't talk about mine!"
"You're mother's a murdering psycho!"
"And you're gran's an old buzzard that nobody wants around!"
"Take that back!"
"Girls, your both boring me with your little back and forth" Harry interrupted
"She's evil Harry" Neville turned to Harry "and you know it"
"I know that I believe her over you seeing as you're 'just a bit' biased against her" Harry responded
"My mother has been there for Harry for years, that sound like murder material to you?!" Delphi spat
"You shut it!"
