Carmen laughed so hard she nearly fell down. The Hall just watched her in fascination. After she had calmed down somewhat she spoke through the remainder of giggles. "If you think I’m gonna let that child leave this building with a well known blood bigot and Death Eater, you are more stupid than I thought you were." |
"Lord Malfoy is an upstanding member of this community. He has donated to many causes that..." |
"Translation; He bribes his way around Britain. I wonder how much he has paid you over the years." She tapped her chin in contemplation then shrugged. "Oh well easy enough to figure out later." She pulled her note pad out and muttered to herself. "Request financials of Cornelius Fudge." She wasn’t going to do that beca... |
"You can’t do that!" Cornelius spluttered in a panic. |
"Ooh yay a civics lesson! Listen up folks!" Carmen began to pace up and down the aisles. "The Ministry for Magic is required by law to state what every single member employed by the ministry makes. Now the Goblins of this nation will not give out transaction history, they are however required to keep immaculate records... |
"Are you alright Filius?" Professor McGonagall looked to the now hysterically laughing man. She handed him a glass of water when it looked like he was choking. |
"The leader of the Central European Gringotts goes by the name Vorak the Supreme. I had dinner with him and his family just last week. So take a guess on what I could do. I always say know some body who knows somebody." She made her way back to face Lucius and the Minister. |
Lucius stepped into her personal space and spoke in a low and dangerous tone. "You would do well to mind your tongue witch." |
"Oh Lucy darling." Carmen pouted. "Are you trying to intimidate little ole me? And here I thought we could be friends." She started wiping away fake tears, but then immediately sobered and stared him down. "You don’t fucking impress me, you blonde jumped up two bit fuck wit. Men who are far more powerful, richer and ce... |
With that she turned her back on a fuming Lucius Malfoy. She conjured a chair and sat down. She had felt as Andromeda Tonks passed the wards. She took out her notepad and began going over her calculations for the wards as she appeared to be ignoring everyone around her. In truth she was having a conversation with Morph... |
"What are you doing?’ |
"Relax big bro. They are here to take her to try and control Harry. I’m not getting involved beyond my normal duties. It is my job after all. Ooooh! Show is about to start.’ She felt his mental exasperation and chuckle. |
"Be that as it may. Miss Granger is coming with us. You have no proof." The Minister gave a subtle nod and the Aurors made an attempt to grab who they knew was Granger. |
The first Auror found his hands held behind his back, and face down in the potatos. That was Ron. The second one was currently different shades of pink and purple. He had chicken feet, green snakes for hair, and the occasion to fart loudly whenever he burped...which happened often. Not to mention that his arms resemble... |
"You had no right!" Fudge bellowed at Carmen. |
Carmen raised a brow. "I didn’t do anything Minister. I’ve been sitting here the whole time." |
"You still cannot usurp my right to remove a student due to safety concerns!" |
Carmen tsked and shook her head. "You are absolutely right. But she can." Carmen gave a careless wave of her hand and watched as the doors opened. |
In walked Andromeda Tonks. But she was not alone. Madame Amelia Bones was with her and so were Aurors Shacklebolt, Tonks, and Proudfoot. |
"She is right Minister. It has been brought to my attention that someone was attempting to remove my ward." |
Cornelius Fudge blinked like an idiot. "I beg your pardon?" |
"I’m surprised you didn’t know Minister. As of July first of this year, I have been given the status of Magical Guardian to Miss Hermione Granger." |
The entire time the action had been happening, Hermione was in perfect posture and her face was a blank mask. But inside she was terrified that these people wanted to take her out of the school. And if what Carmen had said was true, this was all about getting Harry under control. |
"THERE IS NO RECORD OF MISS GRANGER HAVING A MAGICAL GUARDIAN OTHER THAN ALBUS!" Fudge fumed. |
Andromeda raised a cool brow at the minister, and at that moment she looked very much like her sister Bellatrix. Andromeda reached into her elegant robes and pulled out a rolled up piece of parchment. "You mean this evidence." She handed it to him and watched in amusement as he paled. "This is an application for the us... |
Cornelius looked gobsmacked. |
"Ooh ooh! I know! I know!" Carmen bounced in her seat with a wide smile on her face and her hand waving frantically in the air. |
Severus shot out his arm to prevent Morpheus from attacking his own face again without looking. He was still staring at his snake who had attacked an Auror. |
Amelia chuckled at the exuberant witch. "Please enlighten us, Miss LaVaunt." |
Carmen squirmed in her chair with a giddy childlike expression. "Magical parents or Magical guardians." She said with a grin. |
"You are correct Miss LaVaunt." Andromeda turned to the Minister. "Well?" |
"And just what was the reason for Miss Granger to need an underage license?" Lucius Malfoy asked in barely concealed anger. His Lord would not be pleased with the turn of events. |
Andromeda was not intimidated in the slightest by this man. He was hurting her sister and she was going to show her displeasure in the best way that a daughter of the House of Black would. She stared him down with her violet eyes. "My ward is best friends with The Boy Who Lived. You should know him Lucius. He is credit... |
Many people looked on in fascination. Those who knew Harry best knew that he hated his fame. Everyone knew that he had survived, but most had forgotten that his parents had died. At the moment the entire hall was completely shocked at the way that this woman was taking on Lucius Malfoy. |
"I was born a child of the House of Black. My parents may have disowned me for refusing to marry a bigoted, abusive, small minded sycophant and chose to marry a kind, strong, loving and intelligent Muggleborn, but I was raised a child of the House of Black." |
Whispers broke out in the hall among the Muggleborn who had not been at the meeting this summer. |
Andromeda slowly stalked towards Lucius like a panther tracking its prey. "And as a child raised in the House of Black no one under my protection will be left defenseless while there is a psychologically depraved Half Blood..." |
Albus was alarmed and stood "Mrs. Tonks! You..." |
She ignored him. |
"...with parental issues is roaming freely. Now is there anything else you would like to know Lord Malfoy? I am sure that as an upstanding citizen and a fellow member of the Wizengamot that you of all people would think that in this situation it was for the best that someone in Miss Granger’s position should be able to... |
She had not only brought up the fact that he was no longer on the Board of Governors, but the fact that the most outstanding teacher that they had been able to acquire in sometime was a werewolf. Remus Lupin had been able to do what most professors had not been able to do in thirty years or so. |
"Very well Mrs. Tonks. Your point has been made." He gritted out at her. |
Cornelius was stuck. The girl did have a magical guardian. But he did have one last card to pull. "Her parents have no address listed. How are they to be contacted in case of emergency? It is for the best interest of the girl that we have all pertinent information." |
Andromeda gave the man a terribly evil smile. "At the moment they are at my house taking tea with my husband. If you have something that you would like to pass on, please feel free to let me know." It was a lie, but he was an idiot so who cared. |
"I am curious Lord Malfoy what warrants your presence here?" Carmen had turned to the obviously fuming man. |
Lucius Malfoy was not happy. This was supposed to be a simple grab for that jumped up Mudblood. But this foreign bitch had ruined it. And since when did that blood traitor become the girl’s guardian? "I am here as a concerned parent. Colin Creevey attacked my heir without cause. I want to see justice done." He finished... |
"Oh really." Carmen drawled in slight amusement as she turned slowly to the snake table. "And what pray tell did the Heir of Malfoy tell you had happened?" She did an inner dance of evil joy at the look on Draco Malfoy’s face. The boy had paled considerably and looked like he was about to pass out. |
"He informed me that they were in the hall near the Charms classroom when Creevey attacked him for no reason." |
"Oh this is going to be so much fun!" Carmen giggled. |
Carmen sobered instantly and stepped into Lucius Malfoy’s face. She could feel her magic tingle at the proximity to the Dark Mark. "Your son signed up for a school sponsored dueling trial. There were well over two hundred witnesses. He won the match. So I don’t see what the problem is." Carmen had heard her brother’s v... |
"That is a lie! That boy used spells he had no business knowing! He was able to draw blood from an heir of an ancient and noble house. He should be arrested." Dolores said sternly. |
Carmen sighed and looked at the minister. "And you hired that cow?" She turned back to Lucius. "Just a misunderstanding between school boys. You shouldn’t listen to her. Her walls are all pink and covered with pictures of cats." |
"I see. And what of the accusation of calling us Blood Traitors?" Lucius turned to look at his son with a cold glare. |
"He wrote to me that the Gran...Miss Granger called the House of Malfoy Blood Traitors." |
Carmen turned around to the teachers looking for help in explaining that particular situation. Thank the Gods for Harry and her big brother. Although the both of them talking at once gave her a slight headache. |
"She stated that The House of Malfoy and the House of Weasley share some of the same prejudices against the Non Magical world. He must have taken it out of context." |
"I see." Lucius Malfoy looked to the Lion’s table and saw a very red in the face Weasley. He mused it must be the youngest male of the family that had caused the Mudblood’s irritation. |
"So are we done? We’re having strawberries tonight and I sooo want strawberry shortcake. I even made homemade whip cream and glaze!" Carmen huffed and crossed her arms. "Although, I think it was rude of the house elves to throw me out of the kitchen when I was done. I mean seriously! All I wanted to talk about was diff... |
"CARMEN!" Morpheus bellowed. |
"Huh?" Carmen turned to her brother. |
"Meandering." He said simply. |
The students and some of the staff laughed. |
"Oh. Right." She cleared her throat. "My brother is right as usual. Well most of the time. Any way your son Lord Malfoy is an outstanding student from what I have been able to ascertain, bit weak in Herbology it seems, but HELLS YES I would let him make my basic potions! I’ve heard the boy’s work was on par with someon... |
Severus Snape did not bother to stop Morpheus from his face palm. He knew she was talking about him. The bitch. |
For his part Draco was relieved as he was starting to think that his father was not the man that he thought he was. His father had hurt him terribly after the last governors meeting, and he was not sure how he felt about him anymore. But if this...woman can lessen the punishment that he knew was coming to him then he w... |
"Not yet. Am I to assume that this is your handiwork?" Amelia asked. As she gestured over her fallen Aurors. |
"Ha! That’s the best part. I didn’t do anything. The students did." Carmen laughed. |
As she carried on a conversation with Madame Bones, she pressed into Madame Tonks’ head after politely knocking on her shields. "You need to warn your husband. Something tells me Malfoy won’t let this go.’ |
Andromeda gave a small tight nod of her head and moved to whisper into her daughter’s ear. Tonks moved to speak to her boss and stepped out of the Hall. |

"Daddy!" Tonks called over their family’s mirror. She sighed in relief as his face came into view. "You need to evacuate now." |
"Dora what’s going on? |
"Mum just confronted Lucius. You need to get out of there. I’ll explain later. I’ll get Sirius to help you. Be safe dad." |
"I will. Be careful." The mirror went blank. |
"Sirius Black." There was a moment of panic when he didn’t answer but then his face came into view. |
"Hey Nymphie! Me and Remus were just having a few drinks and talking about Hogwarts. You should come over and regale us with your misguided adventures of youth." |
Fuck! He had been drinking. "Let me talk to Remus." She watched the shaky images as the mirror was handed over. |
"Tonks. You should come by after your shift..." Remus started but was cut off. |
"The Pack is in danger." As she had hoped it had an immediate sobering effect as the dormant wolf would start to get anxious. "Explain." Remus growled. |
"Mum confronted Lucius and the Minister. They wanted to take Hermione away from Hogwarts. I’m assuming because of her friendship with Harry and the recent bad press. We got an early warning from George Weasley. Please. Help my dad." She watched as Remus stood. She could hear as he rummaged around for something and hear... |
"Alright. One sobering potion and non opiate pain potion down. Now talk to him. The wolf is agitated." |
"Tonks? What..." |
"No time. Short version. Mum confronted Lucius and the Minister here at Hogwarts. They were trying to remove Hermione "for her protection’. We need to get dad ready to move." |
"BUGGER!" Sirius called for Dobby and Kreacher. "A daughter of the House of Black is in imminent danger as well as her family. The House of Tonks needs help in evacuating to Grimmauld." He was happy to see them pop out instantly. He turned back to the mirror. "Ok kiddo. He’ll be here soon." |
"Thank you Lord Black." |
"Nonsense. We’re family girl. Although I’m now going to need a nausea and headache potion as well. Maybe some soup and bread." Sirius grimaced. |
Tonks could relate as she laughed. Sober up potions were terrible on the body. "Tell dad that I love him, and we’ll see him soon." She dropped the privacy bubble and went back into the Hall to see what she had missed. She gave a subtle nod to her mother who returned the gesture.0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0... |
"Are you telling me..." Madame Bones was fuming. "That six of my aurors were taken out by five Hogwarts students? One of which was a fourth year?!" |
"That would be the short of it." |
"I’m surprised that you did not take part." |
Carmen’s eyes went from playful to cold as stone in an instant. "Make no mistake Madame Bones. I would have taken part, if necessary, but my brother stayed my hand. Please know that Hermione would not have left this castle without my permission. The wards that I’ve set would not allow it." Carmen gave a vicious smile. ... |
Carmen rolled her eyes and looked at the annoying woman. |
"Yes dear Professor Umbridge?" Carmen said sweetly. |
"The Ministry has the right to ensure that the safety and welfare of it’s citizens is on par with basic standards. If Miss Granger’s parents are missing then... " |
"OH BY THE GODS SHE AGREES WITH ME!" The Warden did a little happy dance. "Baron! Are you near?" |
The Bloody Baron appeared at her right side. "At your command my lady. |
"Tell The Friar that he won the bet!" |
The Bloody Baron scowled. "Oh alright." He drifted away through the walls. Everyone had stared in disbelief at the scene in front of them. |
"Are you deaf? They are not missing woman! So are we done?" Carmen really wanted her strawberry shortcake. |
"Not yet. I have the unfortunate duty to tell you that the students who had attacked an auror in their official capacity will need to be taken in for questioning." Madame Bones stated. Although she looked less than pleased at the task before her. |
