She ignored her brother. She conjured a chair and tossed Cho Chang into it. She then pulled a knife and pointed it at her throat. "You move. You hurt." Carmen pulled her phone and dialed a number. |
"What is going on Miss LaVaunt?" The Headmaster demanded an answer as he made his way down to her. |
"You’ll see." Was all that she said. |
As someone answered, she responded in flawless Mandarin. "-I know that this is not the best time, but may I speak to My Lady Chang?-" |
Cho tried to run, but she was slammed back down into the chair she was sitting in by the spell Carmen had put on it. She cried out. "Headmaster please!" Carmen silenced her. |
"-I’m transferring you now.-" The voice on the other end said. |
"-I am Lady Chang. Tell me your name and why you are interrupting my meal with my family.-" |
"-My Lady. Please forgive me for my slight, but I feel that your family honour is at stake.-" |
"-Explain.-" Was the cold reply |
"-May we speak in the common language of Britain? We are in the Great Hall of Hogwarts during breakfast.-" |
"-This has to do with my granddaughter I presume?-" |
They didn’t see The Grand Lady nod to her family to head to Hogwarts. |
Carmen spoke in a tone so cold it could have frozen fire. "Your granddaughter and her friends nearly killed someone in their own house. I’ve done business with your clan for a long time, but I question whether or not someone could be honourable if they have descendants so disreputable that they chose to bully...a sight... |
"I took the memory from the girl’s head. It’s the truth." |
"It’s worse My Lady. They found her to be odd, but in truth, she was there when her mother died and as you know if a child has the gift it can be stunted due to trauma." |
"What has Cho done?" You could hear Lady Chang making her way out. |
"Grandmother. Please!" |
"Last night the child was locked out of her tower, without being fully clothed and without her wand. My self and another student found her no longer shivering, but was turning blue after we came in from exercise before breakfast. Her and someone named Edgecombe, have stolen her clothes, shoes and homework. They’ve urin... |
There was a gasp from students and staff alike. Everyone was looking at the Ravenclaw table in disgust, even the Slytherins. |
Flitwick looked up in horror. He just thought the girl was a little odd like her father. He jumped on the chair, then the table and off. Professor Sprout looked like she was going to murder someone. |
The line clicked dead, and Carmen pocketed her phone. |
Filius was livid. "I want all Prefects in my office now!" |
When the students didn’t get up fast enough, he yelled. "MOVE!" All of the prefects made a hasty exit to the doors. He called for a house elf. "I have just sent all of the Ravenclaw prefects to my office. I want them sealed there. If any of them try to avoid going there, you have my permission to bring them there. I wa... |
"Kev does as Master Flitwicky says." The elf said and popped out |
Carmen turned to the student body and advanced on Cho slowly. |
"I’m many things Ms. Chang. A teacher. A dancer. A singer. A soldier. A killer. I have done things that would make most of Voldemort’s pathetic little Death Nibblers look like angels." |
Everyone gasped. |
"I have fought in many battles Ms. Chang, my body count is quite high if I do say so myself. There are only two reasons why you are able to draw breath at the moment." |
"One. You’re young and fucking stupid. It would be a waste of my time because of the second reason. I have the utmost respect for the Chang family, and they could do far worse." The evil grin caused Cho to wet herself. |
Just then the doors to the Great Hall sprang open and a murderous looking Harry Potter stormed in. Carmen was tempted to let him hurt her, but she flashed in front of him instead. "No." |
"Carmen. Move." His eyes were literally glowing green along with his aura. |
She laughed. "Make no mistake little brother you’re powerful and right now you’re pissed as hell, but don’t challenge me. I’m far stronger than you are, and I will put you down. Besides. I believe her family is on the way and they could do far worse than you or I combined. They’re an old Chinese clan that moved here so... |
Harry stared at Cho and then at Carmen. He gave the older witch a curt nod, and then stood by her side with his wand still drawn. |
The students all stared in fascination at the events that unfolded. When the Headmaster had tried to get them to leave, a voice rang out. "No. They will stay to witness." |
Cho started crying in earnest now. |
Six people walked slowly into the dining hall. They almost looked like they were floating. The one in front was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her sixties. She was wearing a robe of fine silk in emerald green. Her hair was in what George called a "complicated woman thingy’, her face was barely lined at the corne... |
Behind her was a man and a woman that were obviously Cho’s parents. The woman was stunning with a deep red robe of fine silk. Her jet black hair was also done up elaborately. The man was wearing a finely tailored black suit, with a white shirt and blood red tie. His hair went past his shoulders. |
There was a little girl who couldn’t be more than ten, who was wearing simple robes in blue with her hair down in a half ponytail. She looked terrified as she held the man’s hand. |
For her part, Cho knew that her life was over. Her family was very adamant about honour, and she had brought it into question. The laws dictated that her life would end here and now unless someone spoke convincingly on her behalf. |
Behind the couple were two men in finely tailored suits who screamed bodyguards to Carmen. She gave a look to Harry, and then walked up to Lady Chang and bowed. "My Lady. I’m sorry to disturb you, but I felt that this required your immediate attention." |
Lady Chang dipped her head slightly in Carmen’s direction. "You have saved the honour and magic of my family. Regardless of if we lost the business of your company, this is even more important." She walked to the head table and grabbed Cho by the hair. She dragged her and threw her to the ground in front of the head ta... |
"Of course My Lady. I know it is your right, but I ask you not to do this in front of the children. They are quite sheltered, and at the moment, are very frightened." Lady Chang looked around and saw some of the children were crying. |
"Very well. I would like to know from you and the Headmaster why this was not brought to my attention sooner. A behaviour correction is best done when they are young." Lady Chang turned to Cho. "Before they can dishonour the family name." |
"Grandmother I..." She panted out between breaths. |
"You will be silent!" |
Cho nodded as tears continued to fall. |
"My Lady. I have only been made aware of the crimes against Luna shortly before you came. Had I known before hand, I would have not only notified you but punished her most severely." |
"No Headmaster! It is my right as Head of House!" |
"Let’s make this brief shall we?" Lady Chang raised her wand and a crystal of some sort. "I will block the youngest students from seeing this in case it’s too traumatizing. She placed her wand onto Cho’s temple."-Show me your crimes against the sighted one.-" Cho shook with sobs as the memories were placed in the proje... |
Lady Chang replaced her wand and put away the crystal. She then drew a knife, as she bared Cho’s neck. "What do you have to say for yourself, before I end you?" She didn’t want to do it but custom dictated that she had to. More than anything, she felt sad for the moon child. That her beloved granddaughter could be so c... |
"Grandmother." Cho sobbed. "It... we were just joking around. I didn’t mean any harm. I swear it!" |
"The child nearly died from your joke." Lady Chang had tears in her eyes. "For your crimes against the child I am told is named Luna and your dishonour of the family name. Your punishment is death." |
Everyone watched as a tall man came running in with pale skin and long blond hair wearing bright robes that made Dumbledore’s look subdued. "I wish to speak on Cho Chang’s behalf." |
Lady Chang raised a brow as she stilled her blade. "Who are you to speak on this child’s behalf?" |
"My Lady, I’m Xenophilius Lovegood. Luna is my daughter." Xeno bowed |
Everyone in the Chang party bowed. "You honour us with your presence, however this child..." |
"Is a child. I won’t pretend to know your culture. But I know for a fact that children do foolish things. I won’t discuss the time I blew up half of the Ravenclaw tower. My daughter wishes for her to pay for her crimes, but she wants her to learn from them as well. The elves have been gracious enough to inform me of wh... |
Xeno straightened his spine. "Luna requested that she be made to serve hungry muggles food so that she could see what happens to people who are not allowed or able to eat as she was. She wants her to go around the country and help muggles who have no home in the winter and help them get warm clothing and shelter. She m... |
"They have a center for abused women and children? Muggles?" Professor Sprout asked in disbelief. |
"Yes. They give them emergency shelter from their abusive spouse, and help them find a permanent home. Mr. Potter told them about that. Fascinating stuff!" |
Xeno sobered. "Her final request was to have me shave her head bald. Something about how vain Cho is. I don’t feel comfortable with that one. But whatever points and detentions you give should be fine...I think. She doesn’t want her expelled. She should be allowed to finish her education and learn from her mistakes." |
Lady Chang looked at her granddaughter. "Your life will be spared, but you will learn the family values once again come the Winter Festival." She looked up to Professor Flitwick. |
"Who is this Edgecombe she keeps company with?" |
"Her name is Marietta, Grandmother. She’s my friend." Cho whispered |
"No longer. Any association with that child will see you dead." |
"Headmaster Dumbledore. I wish to take my granddaughter to our home in London. There we shall see to it that Miss Luna’s request is meted out, as well as teach her the family customs once more." The elder lady glared at her kin. |
"So be it. Miss Chang you are hereby suspended until after the start of term in the new year, and I release you into your family’s custody. You will be notified of your in school punishment by owl." The Headmaster looked at the young girl with pity and just a touch of anger. |
Lady Chang gave a slight bow. "Thank you Headmaster." She turned to her daughter. "Bring her." Her daughter grabbed Cho and dragged her out of the Hall, while berating her at the same time. |
"Xi!" The Lady Chang called out. |
A small elf appeared wearing a belted red tunic, black pants, and black shoes. "Yes my lady?" |
"Cho is leaving. Gather her things. I also want you to seek out the moon child named Luna Lovegood. Collect her magic and find anything in the castle that belongs to her. It appears that my dishonourable granddaughter and her worthless disgusting friends have been stealing her things. I want them charmed so that it wil... |
"It will be done Lady Chang." The elf popped out silently. |
Lady Chang turned to Xenophillius. "I love my granddaughter very much. She has lived a sheltered life of privilege and has wanted for nothing. How she could..." The head of the Chang family sighed and regrouped. "I thank you for sparing her life. It would have left a hole in my soul to do it, but I would have killed he... |
"Our children are our greatest treasure. I hope for her sake she can be helped." |
Lady Chang gave an awkward pat to the man’s back, stepped away and turned and left. Her guards followed her. Before she reached the door, Carmen called out to her. |
"Lady Chang! We still on for the Feast of the Elders?" |
The Grand Lady gave a slight bow and then turned to Morpheus and smiled. "I told you once that your sister was crazy. I hope you now believe me." She turned and left followed by one of her guards in the back, and one in the front of her. |

"I want all Heads of House in the staff room for an emergency meeting." The Headmaster called out. He was so tired. How had he and the staff missed so much abuse and neglect in this school. "All students are dismissed to their common rooms until further notice." |
"Just a moment Headmaster." Filius ran and jumped onto the Ravenclaw table again. "There is going to be hell to pay I can guarantee that. As of right now, ALL of Ravenclaw is under house suspension until an investigation is conducted." |
"You can’t do that!" Marietta screamed out. |
"You are on thin ice Miss Edgecombe. I am very tempted to suggest expulsion for you. I suggest that you remain silent." Flitwick growled. |
Edgecombe’s eyes widened in shock. She was a Pureblood! How dare this halfbreed threaten her. |
"I agree with Miss Edgecombe Professor Flitwick. There are many upstanding students in that house and it would be unfair to punish them all." Umbridge smiled sweetly. |
"Your opinion means nothing at the moment, so kindly keep your nose out of how I run my house." He turned back to his students. "Leave!" They left. |
"Dumbledore. I must insist that as the Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic that..." |
"Your presence in your capacity of your ministerial position is not needed. Thank you for pointing that out to me. You are truly a gem to have on the staff." Dumbledore’s eyes twinkled. |
Severus gave an uncharacteristic like snort because he knew Albus was lying through his crooked teeth. |
Dolores looked like she had swallowed a frog. "The Minister shall hear of this." |
Albus murmured. "Of that I have no doubt." He turned to his teachers. "Come. We must go now." The rest of the teachers headed out. |
"Ooh! Ooh! Can I come?" Carmen raised her hand in the air while hopping around like a demented rabbit. |
"Carmen!" Her brother yelled. |
"You’re so mean!" She stomped out of the hall. |
Minerva was left scratching her head once again. "I’m sure I have told you this professor, but your sister..." |
"I know I know." He sighed exasperated. |

"I have been remiss in my duties once again." Albus started with a heavy sigh. "According to Madame Pomfrey, Luna Lovegood is in stable condition. Xenophilius will remain at his daughter’s side for the time being so please make him welcome. I know that he can be...eccentric, but he is a good man." Albus took off his gl... |
Everyone stared at him like he had grown a second head. The Headmaster was legendary for giving second chances. Well the Peters boy was new. Most of the staff took that as trying to curry favor with Potter. |
"I will see it done Headmaster." Filius growled and Minerva nodded. |
Albus yawned. "Now. I will write..." |
