"Harry?" She was honestly confused. |
Harry sighed. "It is perfectly legal to beat, torture and rape your house elves in this country. The Head elf of House Potter was made to iron his hands on a regular basis. He also is being broken of the habit of bashing his head into the wall. Apparently that was another form of punishment in his old house. His name i... |
Carmen’s eyes widened in horror. She could feel her magic ready to lash out violently. |
She looked to her brother with rage in her eyes. |
"No! Not this way baby girl. You know what to do." |
She nodded her head slightly at him and turned back to the minister. "So punishing her is the rule when she disobeys me?" |
"That is consistent with our rules my dear." |
"Ooh ooh loophole! I guess I should punish her then for not listening to me." Carmen asked eagerly. |
"Er...yes. That would be the wisest course of action." |
"Cornelius! Do you even know what her orders were?" Madame Bones had a feeling it wasn’t pleasant. |
Harry and his friends were laughing hard at this point. |
Amelia smirked. "Please tell us what your orders were if she were in a situation that required her to defend herself." |
Carmen invaded the Minister’s personal space. "I told her to kill the perpetrator or perpetrators slowly and painfully if she has the time and quickly if she doesn’t. No one fucks with her, or they deal with me and the two hundred trained killers I have at my command." She smiled as the minister gulped. She walked towa... |
"What was that?" Albus asked. |
Carmen took deep breaths and began to count. "30, 29,28,..." |
"What is she doing?" Minerva asked. |
"Every time she feels the need to punch Albus in the face, I ordered her to count down from 30 to regain her calm." Morpheus said behind the privacy bubble that had been erected around the teachers after Carmen’s confrontation with the minister. |
Morpheus at this moment was smacking Severus on the back as he appeared to be choking on his tea. |
"Ah that’s better." Carmen smiled and looked at the Headmaster. "That sound and the rush of magic was Lady Hogwarts and the house elves acknowledging my thanks to her for the tea and cucumber sandwiches. On with the show." She turned to look at Professor Flitwick. "Master Flitwick. Would you be so kind as to remove the... |
"Of course my dear." Flitwick made his way down to her. |
"Why don’t you have your wand with you?" Tonks asked curiously. |
Carmen shrugged. "For the most part I don’t need it. Simple transfiguration and most charm work is easy enough. Potions as well. But Medical work as well as some rituals are best with one, along with more complicated spellwork. Pulling a memory is best done with one." |
"Medical work?" Amelia asked. |
"Internationally certified Mediwitch as of last week. Formerly a combat medic. Comes in handy for my Potions Mastery." |
"Carmen! You passed?! Why didn’t you tell me?" Harry asked as Morpheus smiled. |
"I wanted to tell you during Yule, but well...life." She shrugged. |
"Are you ready Carmen?" Filius asked. |
Professor Flitwick began to pull the memory as Carmen concentrated. He then deposited it in the pensieve. |
"Thank you Professor." Carmen placed her right hand over her heart and performed the truth ritual. "Mother Magick hear my call. I give my word to those assembled at this moment to bear witness to the truth of this memory. May magic judge me if I have not shown the truth. So say I so mote it be." There was a swirl of go... |
"What is she doing." Cornelius asked. |
"She is giving the sacrifice of her life or magic if she is not telling the truth in her memories. It’s very old magic." Amelia responded. |
The memory played out so that the officials in attendance can see it for the first time. Once it was done, Carmen slumped in her chair with her head back. |
George, Harry and Morpheus came running over. |
"George. Pepper Up." Morpheus ordered |
"Got it!" George encouraged her to drink as Morpheus placed her in his lap as he took her chair." |
"Harry. Check core depletion." George ordered as he continued to have her finish the potion. |
Harry moved his wand in a complicated pattern. "Dammit woman! Less than half a percent of your core is depleted! You’ve been overworking yourself again haven’t you? Your exhaustion is physical. Not magical. You should probably start taking your own advice from time to time you know." |
Carmen bounced up after the potion had taken effect. "Ah. That’s better. And you are right little brother. I have finally admitted defeat and called in for back up. The security around the castle is too fucked off for one person to do in such a short time." |
"Which team did you call for?" Morpheus asked as he wiped her brow. |
"Alpha team? Why would you...he hates this place. Are you insane?!" |
"It’s been said before brother. But they are good at what they do, and he is familiar with the layout. Besides. I’m paying him one hundred thousand extra galleons not to kill anyone unless it’s self defence." |
She jumped out of her brother’s lap like nothing had happened. "HD. Attention! Eyes Front!" |
The same students stood at attention. "Now you see why I have told you what I did. Magically I’m fine, but physically I’m exhausted. I’ve been doing too much on my own. As much as I yell at you for taking on too much for your own good, I have nothing on what is about to come my way from my big brother. And I’m sure my ... |
"You’ve got that right!" Both brothers nearly snarled at her at the same time and she winced, while the students just chuckled. |
"At ease. Listen up! Learn from my mistakes. There is a reason why I make you recite those rules. Imagine if I were in combat? Rest. Fluids. Food. Obey those and you will be fine. DO YOU GET ME!" |
"WE GET YOU MA’MME!" |
Carmen turned to The Minister. "That is the reason why I am here. For one year I will fix your wards, update your library, fix your overall security and whatever else is needed. However the problem of your country’s incessant need to breed with your family members is entirely up to you." |
"So." Carmen retook her seat and bit into one of the delicious sandwiches. She really did love cucumber sandwiches and Dory even put some onion on them. "Love her’ she thought to herself. She took a swallow of tea and continued. "To my original point. Blood does not make you stronger magically. For instance. "Lord Malf... |
"Yes." He looked at her calculatingly. What was her angle? |
"And as a Pureblood, according to you and your peers, the purer the blood the stronger the magic. Is that correct?" She smiled sweetly. |
"It has been proven that those with two magical parents, the stronger their magic. The further back the lineage the better the magic." Lucius said stoically. But inside alarm bells were going off. |
Carmen steepled her fingers in front of her. "Are you willing to stand by your convictions with a simple test?" |
Lord Malfoy was trying desperately not to sweat, but Malfoy pride was on the line. And he did not believe that there was a mudblood or a halfblood in this castle that could beat him. But a challenge was thrown down, and his Malfoy pride won the day. "Very well. Who is to challenge me? You?" He asked with a sneer. The o... |
"No. Dumbledore." |
Lucius froze. There was no way that he would beat Dumbledore in a fight. He was too powerful and his spell knowledge was vast. He decided to bow out gracefully. "I shall not participate in a duel against the Headmaster. It would be unfair given his age and his many positions in our world. I would hate to see him injure... |
Albus Dumbledore pouted again. Once more he was denied a duel. Even as Carmen snorted. "Yeah you would lose and you know it. Imagine that the Great Lucius Malfoy losing to a Halfblood. All talk and very little action. Pitty. I would have loved to see him wipe the floor with you." |
Carmen stood. "Moving on. Here’s how the stats go as far as power and why your blood doesn’t matter." |
"Adult male power rankings from four to one. One being the strongest.5. Lucius Malfoy Pureblood4. Filius Flitwick Halfblood3. Morpheus LaVaunt Half blood.2. Severus Snape Half blood1. Albus Dumbledore. Half blood |
"While Malfoy is a Pureblood, the other adult males currently in the building are not. And though it pains me to the core of my soul to admit that Severus is a powerful wizard, he truly is." |
Severus gave a wicked smirk. |
"Moving on. Adult females with the most Power." Carmen scratched her head as she looked at the paper. "This one is much harder. There are too many outliers, with extremes on both ends. But suffice it to say, that Minerva would be tough to beat in a straight up magical fight." |
5. Bethsheba Babbling4. Pomona Sprout3. Aurora Sinistra2. Madame Pomfrey1. Minerva McGonagall |
"What about you?" A Ravenclaw yelled out. |
Carmen looked to her brother for help. "Mo?’ |
"Tell them the truth. Or an abridged version if you are comfortable. |
"Remember when I talked about outliers. There are two of us. Umbridge’s power is so low, that two second year Slytherins and a first year Hufflepuff beat her in power levels. I’m an outlier because I have more power than Dumbledore. That’s all I will say about that." |
Everyone looked at her in curiosity, except the students closest to her and Morpheus. |
"Moving on. Top five female students with the most power. |
5. Angelina Johnson. Half blood4. Luna Lovegood Pureblood3. Lilith Moon. Half blood2. Hermione Granger. Mundane born1. Daphne Greengrass. Pureblood |
Oh and Miss Parkinson just so you are aware, out of all of the female students, you barely made it into the top twenty. There is a first year Hufflepuff who is magically stronger than you." Carmen smiled sweetly. |
And now for the boys.5. Colin Creevey. Mundane born |
4. Blaise Zabini. Pureblood |
3. Is a three way tie. Red one. Red two. And Lee Jordan. Surprise surprise. Two purebloods and a halfblood. A half blood who I believe has one mundane born parent and one completely non magical parent. |
2. Neville Longbottom. Pureblood |
1. Harry Potter. Halfblood. |
Would you like me to tell everyone your ranking Draco Malfoy?" |
Draco panicked and looked at his father. |
"Well don’t worry. You are not as bad as Pansy. You at least rank in the top ten." |
"Now will there be anything else? I really want those strawberries." Carmen asked. She was basking in the comfort of her brothers in her mind. Her attempt at silent contemplation was interrupted by what had to be the most annoying voice on the planet. |
"Not yet. How dare you assault members of law enforcement. That is not proper behaviour for proper witches and wizards. Therefor I am sorry to say that each house that assaulted the Aurors will lose fifty points each." Dolores shouted out in a pompous tone at the students. |
Fudge and Malfoy looked somewhat mollified. |
"You are absolutely correct Dolores." Minerva stood and slowly made her way down to the students. Missing the shocked yet vindicated look on Professor Umbridge’s face. "In all my years at Hogwarts I have never seen such behaviour." She stood in front of the Lion’s table. "For prompt assistance to a housemate, I award G... |
The Lion’s den went wild. |
She then turned to Luna. "For quick reflexes in the defence of a friend against a supposedly superior foe. I grant Ravenclaw one hundred points. |
Luna beamed at her, and Minerva was nearly bowled over as the petite witch hugged her. |
"Yes yes Miss Lovegood." She awkwardly pat her back. "Well done indeed." She extracted herself from the girl and walked over to the Slytherin table. |
"Who here knows who Esmerelda Gettings is. Put your hand down Miss Granger." Everyone laughed as Hermione blushed and slowly put her hand down. Especially since Professor McGonagall had her back to her. |
Professor McGonagall continued when none of the Slytherins raised their hands. "Esmerelda, as she preferred to be called was a gifted and talented witch. In 1594 she started a school for children in Knockturn alley. Contrary to what you may believe not all magical Pureblood children come to Hogwarts. There are a few fa... |
Albus narrowed his eyes at her. |
Minerva raised a brow in challenge. After a moment, she turned back to the Slytherin table. |
"Esmerelda had heard rumours of this and decided to do something about it. She was passionate that all magical children should have a formal education and she was a success." Minerva continued circling the entire Slytherin table. |
"She financed her endeavors by inventing several potions that are in use today. The bi annual birth control potion being one of them, and her school thrived. She had set up a clinic so that witches and wizards who could not afford Saint Mungos, could still receive quality care for free or at a low cost. The students we... |
"What?!" Someone yelled. |
"Yes. But she didn’t back down. She kept on teaching the magical children of Britain with determination. Her being a Slytherin helped her immensely." |
"No way she was a snake!" A Hufflepuff yelled out, but she could also see the shocked looks on every single Slytherin as well. |
"She was indeed a proud daughter of the House of Slytherin. She used all of her cunning and ambition to not only make a school for poorer witches and wizards, but she also built a clinic and an apothecary for those in need. She taught potions to older adults who never quite mastered the art. They mainly brewed minor th... |
She paused as the hall broke out into excited whispers. |
"She fought valiantly. She took out every single one of the twelve Aurors that were sent to bring her in. She was smart enough to know that she would never make it out of the ministry alive even with a trial. If one was ever given. It would seem that not much has changed." Minerva raised her brow at Cornelius before sh... |
"She succumbed to her injuries later that week in the clinic that she had helped to build." |
She looked at the House of Salazar. She could see a few of them fight back tears with extreme effort. She stole a glance at Severus, and he gave a small nod. |
