Carmen shrugged. "Left it in the apartment." |
"I beg your pardon? Then how did you..." |
"Most of my magic is wandless. I do have a wand, but unless I’m transfiguring something complicated or I’m on the dueling circuit, then I find it to be more of a hindrance." She felt a light tap on her shoulder. She looked back to one of the guards tapping his watch. She nodded and stood. "I really must get going Direc... |
Amelia returned the shake. "My pleasure. Enjoy your vacation and try not to work through yours like I normally do mine." |
"No promises. Even with help, the reports still don’t write themselves." She smiled warmly, turned and left. |
As they were once again leaving the building, they saw two of the Aurors that had attempted to arrest them. Carmen gave an exaggerated wink, blew them a kiss and frantically waved goodbye at them in a childlike fashion. "The girls were right.’ she mused. "Official magical England is boring. Oh well. I’m here now.’ She ... |

After they were shown how to enter into the Alley, (and wasn’t that odd) they made their way to Gringotts. It was exactly as described by intel. Of course how to get into the Alley itself would have been nice to know, but she suspects that they would have thought it funny. Before she walked up the stairs she got onto b... |
"Well that’s done. Shall we gentlemen?" |
"You know you’re a bit of a drama queen." Brian chuckled very lightly. |
"Pot. Meet Kettle. Mr. Constantly silently brooding." |
He didn’t deny it. "It’s comes with the job." |
"I’m going to kill my brother for this." she muttered. |
All three bowed to the guards at the door. The shocked looks on their faces was hilarious. As the three made their way to the nearest available teller, they heard a little girl say "By Mr. Teller Stormblade sir." as she waved to him. |
Her father smacked her across the face and she fell to the floor. "You will not acknowledge those beasts in that fashion in my presence again." |
Odell was in the man’s face in an instant and grabbed the man by the throat and thrust him into the air with his feet dangling. "How dare you strike a child that way!" He began to walk back towards the same teller and slammed the man into the area he had just left, next to the teller. Carmen for her part was comforting... |
"These beasts." Odell snarled at the word and then spit at the man’s feet. "Have more dignity, honour, and pride than anything you could hope to ever have. They cherish the young. They don’t strike them out of anger." Odell back handed him with his free hand, jerked him forward and then slammed him back again. The man ... |
"Can I tell you a secret?" The little girl asked as she hugged Carmen. |
"Anything sweetheart." She soothed as she held the girl and stroked her hair. |
"Daddy and mummy were yelling after dinner. Mummy told me to go to my room. I heard her screaming, but mummy said go to my room and don’t come out. So I stayeded in my room. Mummy says I’m a good girl cuz I listen to mummy. Then it quiet." |
"It’s ok sweetheart. You can tell me." She looked up to see Madame Bones coming towards them with Aurors in tow. |
"I didn’t listen to mummy. I came out." |
"What did you see little one?" |
"Mummy was falling asleep. There was red paint. Daddy said she was painting. She said I heart you my baby. And then she went to sleep. Heart means love. She sayed it." |
"How old are you sweetheart?" |
"I four." She held up her four little fingers. |
"Oh baby, that’s a lot to go through. But just know your mom thought about how much she loved you before she went to sleep." |
"Please don’t let him touch me in the no no parts again. It hurt." She whispered. |
Carmen felt her power building. "Get her out of here now!" She handed the child off to an Auror. Sensing the urgency and the magic build up the Auror took her and ran out of the front door. |
"Odell. Drop him." Odell looked at her like she was insane, but did as he was told. The man was breathing heavily and he had soiled himself. |
"Master Stormblade. The child has all but admitted that her father killed her mother last night. She called it going to sleep and described the blood as painting since her father said that her mom was painting. She then asked me not to let him touch her in the "no no places’ again." |
The Goblin guards who had finished ushering the last of the customers out of the building, when this all started, banged their swords against their shields in outrage. They mated for life, and children were precious! |
Carmen drew a sword from who knows where it was so quick and stalked towards her prey. |
"No!" All who heard the voice dropped to one knee and bowed their head. Carmen and her party recognized only one person could make all goblins show such respect and quickly dropped as well. The British wizards just looked on in confusion. |
"This happened on Goblin soil. He will be dealt with by us." The goblin king was taller than most, and his sword shone in his hand. Unlike most humans, goblins wore their scars proudly. It was a sign of strength. This goblin was no different. |
"-I bow to your wisdom My Lord-" She responded in perfect Gobleihn. |
"-Rise my child, and speak in the common tongue.-" |
"I wish his head My Lord." |
"That is not your decision to make young one." |
"I know of that My Lord. I just..." "She is young. She..." |
"Should never have known such things." Ragnock interrupted. |
She stood and sheathed her blade into the wizard space at her side. "My Lord. I am not of this country. But I beg of you to let me see to the welfare of the child. I wish to set up a fund for her care, and another one she can access when she comes of age. I wish to see it flourish and grow, with the minds that I know c... |
"And so it shall be done." He turned to the guards closest to him. "Bring that...thing." The party left the main floor. |
Carmen turned to the Head of the DMLE. "Madame Bones. I must apologize..." She began. |
"Circe no! If it wasn’t you, it would have been me. I understand. I may not have Goblin blood, but children are precious no matter what the species." She looked at her other Aurors that had shown up. "We need to get to what I believe to be the murder of Samantha Givens. Tonks. Take Blaire and process the scene. Cartwri... |
After it was only her and her two babysitters she declared she needed a drink. |
"Only one? You’re about to face a school full of children in less than an hour." She took the time to speak with an account manager for the little girl before she responded to their earlier question. |
"I hate you people." |
She was about to storm out, but then turned to the Goblins in the lobby and spoke once again in Gobleihn. "-Make him suffer.-," She then turned to the door and walked out. The meeting would have to be rescheduled anyway. |

Her drink had made her somewhat calm, but that was not a habit that she wanted to get into. They discovered a place called Fortescue’s that Carmen called divine. I mean who but a wizard could come up with a triple chocolate vanilla creamscicle banana split. With marshmellows and extra sprinkles! |
After a quick shower and a change of clothes, the trio made their way towards the gates of Hogwarts, Carmen pushed out her hand, feeling the magic of the wards. "These are weak. Very weak." |
Odell guided her towards the castle as the gates swung open. Obviously recognizing her magic as not being a threat, or so she thought. She breathed in deep and whispered one word. "Brother." |
Her guard hid a quick smile, as she smiled and literally flew to the front doors. She landed softly in front of the main doors. She dropped to her knees. She sliced her palm and placed it on the steps. "Mother magic grant me your grace in this school of magic. May all who pass through your halls learn the strength of y... |
Carmen strode into the castle with purpose, and the castle it seemed was aiding her. She pushed open the massive doors to the Great Hall and screamed one word as she ran. "BROTHER!" |

Morpheus was quietly contemplating his dinner, when he felt a familiar tingle in the middle of his spine. He instantly sat up straight and took in deep breath. Flitwick had noticed. "Professor LaVaunt. Is there a problem?" |
"She’s here." |
Just then the doors were pushed open and three people stood there. Two males, and one female who didn’t wait until the doors had fully opened before screaming "BROTHER!" |
As she ran down the isle to get to her big brother, she sensed a familiar presence, but ignored it as a fluke. Because honestly, why would he come back here? |
All of the staff were momentarily shocked. They knew that his sister was coming, but they didn’t think she would look so...different from him. |
Morpheus caught her as she jumped into his arms. A blue light glowed around them as they held each other tight. As it died down, they looked at each other. Morpheus broke the quiet between them first. "You’re late." He said as he stroked her cheek and smiled. |
"Well of course I am silly. You gave me two male babysitters, who insisted on going the wrong way. And taking the jet. Really brother? I am perfectly capable of handling myself. What is it with menfolk who can’t take simple directions from a woman?" Most of the females in the room chuckled, including the staff. |
"Though they’ve grown on me, could you please dismiss them? They take the fun out of everything. Oooh like that one time in Madrid when..." |
"We’re in a school remember?" |
Morpheus walked up to the guards. "I relieve you." |
Brian replied with a smirk. "We are relieved. Ophelia is a very interesting client." On that note the two "jumped’ after calling her by her given name, before she tried to blast them into the ceiling. |
"How did they do that?" Dumbledore asked alarmed. |
"They jumped." Carmen said as if it was the most normal thing in the world as she clung to her brother at the waist and soaked in his comfort for a moment before she jumped up. "Oh my. Manners. Hello. My name is Carmen LaVaunt. I’m his favorite sister." She bowed. |
"You’re my only sister." |
Carmen looked to her brother. "Well there is that." |
"I have gifts for all the four heads of house and the Headmaster! I would like to give them out after the meal I promise you won’t be disappointed." She looked to her brother. "I worked extra hard on this." She squealed. |
When she took off her coat, you could see the jealous stares of some females and the typical teenage male reaction to her body. She knew her body looked damn good, and she worked hard to keep it that way. She wore a turquoise cashmere turtleneck, dark denim jeans that showed off her body, and dark brown knee high boots... |
Morpheus could see people staring and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "I thought I told you this was a conservative culture." |
"I know." She whispered back. "See. No cleavage." She smiled at her brother because in her mind she did a good thing. |
"Miss. LaVaunt. Would you care to join us?" The Headmaster asked. |
"I’d love to! What’s on the menu?" The table magically extended to fit her, and another chair appeared. The hall seemed to have returned to their previous dinner conversations. |
Carmen fixed herself a plate and placed her hand over it. She waited for it to glow blue, but instead it glowed red. "Hunh. Could someone tell me why I’m detecting, nutrient potions in my food?" |
"How on earth did you do that?" Professor Sprout asked. |
Morpheus rubbed his hand down his face. |
"Do what? Scan my food?" |
"Yes!" Three voices said at once. |
She was truly confused. "Don’t you?" |
"No. Not only that, you also did it wandless." |
"What is with you people and your obsession with wandless magic? Can’t you do it?" Carmen went back to removing the potion from her food. Once it glowed blue she began to eat. |
"Wandless magic is a rare gift." Snape pointed out. |
"I’m sure your wandless teacher would disagree." She chuckled, but at the looks on their faces she dropped her jaw in shock. "You don’t have a wandless instructor?" She turned to her brother. "Mo?" |
He shook his head only barely. |
"Well that explains that I guess." She reached into her jean’s pocket and pulled out a flask. "Right. I need a drink." After a healthy swig of...something, she continued eating her food after that. |
"So sis. What’s one of the first things you plan to do when you leave here." |
"Well. I plan to spend some time at my villa in the Virgin Islands, then it’s off to Brazil for a bit. After that I’m not sure. I kinda wanna make this a food tour, while at the same time checking out my company and properties around the world and..." |
Beepbeep...beepbeep |
Morpheus groaned. |
Carmen gave him a look that said "What’s wrong with you?’ |
Beepbeep...beepbeep |
Carmen pushed a button on the side of the phone and answered. "LaVaunt. Oh hey Uncle! Yes I made it. He’s fine. His hair is a bit longer. Well yes but...no I. If you would just... Well I don’t think that’s necessary cuz...fine." Carmen sighed, stood and walked to Albus. "He wants to talk tof you." |
Albus looked up in surprise. After showing him what to do he spoke into the phone cautiously...and loudly. "This is Albus Dumbledore!" |
"Talk normally." Morpheus rolled his eyes |
"This is Albus Dumbledore. Yes of course. Oh. I see. We’ll do our best. Very well." He handed it back to her. "Extraordinary." |
"Well uncle I gotta go. Haven’t been shown yet where to lay my head, and I got some gifts for some of the staff I want to hand out. Also we’re in the middle of chow. Ok. I will. Love you too. Bye. Uncle Carl sends his love." |
