Snape was quite impressed with her punishment. Given Potter’s childhood, manual labour would hardly bother him. |
Harry turned and ran behind Professor McGonagall. "I beg you! Don’t let them take me!" |
Everyone laughed at Harry’s predicament. Except for Snape, who merely smirked. |
Minerva reached behind her back and pulled him in front of her. "Take your punishment with dignity Mr. Potter." |
"Have you ever worn those shoes? They’re horrible!" |
Minerva motioned to Pomona, who stood, and gave an answering nod to Andromeda. All three women lifted their robes just enough to reveal that each of them had a heel of varying degrees of height on their shoes. |
"O Merlin." Harry breathed. |
"Oh and Professor Snape. You really should look into the use of Twinkling Sergies for The Draught of Peace. Have a good day." Luna waved at him and gave a beaming smile to everyone. |
Harry just stood there looking like a moron with his mouth opening and closing like a fish. |
"Come on pup. Let’s get those projects finished so that you can be ready for all the fun at home." Sirius said with a doggy grin as he began to lead a still dazed Harry from the room. |
Before they made it to the door however, it swung open with Carmen leading in a group of people. |
"Greetings fellow inhabitants of Lady H, and guests. We have some visitors." Carmen bowed dramatically. |
Then all hell broke loose. |
Lucius Malfoy stormed into the office with his wand out, and started a curse at Harry, but was disarmed by Sirius quickly. He was then bound by Andromeda. Harry pushed Luna behind him as he quickly stunned an auror who had thrown a cutting curse at her. Luckily Filius had quick reflexes and deflected the curse into the... |
Carmen was bored. She lazily threw a shield up between the newcomers and everyone else. "Are we done? Because I have work to do." |
"This is a British matter! You have no right! I have already heard how you are building an army of werewolves!" The Minister for Magic bellowed. |
"An army of...what on Earth are you talking about?" Carmen was honestly confused. |
"My Undersecretary told me of your plan to take British werewolves and build an army against our citizens!" |
"Wow! Ok. That’s. Wow! I mean I knew she was stupid but...wow." Carmen was at a true loss for words. |
"Cornelius. What is the meaning of this?" Albus stared between Cornelius and his Heads of House who had their wands out. Along with Sirius and Andromeda and two of his students. They were facing off against Cornelius, Dolores, and three aurors. Aurors who looked like they wished they were back at the academy. He also h... |
Narcissa stayed back. She looked longingly at Andromeda and Sirius for a fraction of a moment before she schooled her features once more. Both of them caught the look however and gave one in return just as quickly. |
"We are here because we have a report of severe assault against the son of an Ancient and Noble House." Cornelius said pompously. |
"Oh good grief. Release him." Carmen pointed to Malfoy. |
"Carmen. I do not think that to be wise." Filius said with his wand still trained on Lord Malfoy. |
"Probably not. But I have control at the moment. So please release him." |
Filius nodded and cast the counter spell. |
Lucius Malfoy got to his feet and sneered at Andromeda and Sirius, both of whom had their wands trained on him. |
"If you would kindly return my wand, I would deeply appreciate it. I was out of sorts, and not wholly responsible for my actions you see." Lucius said with an air of someone who could lie to anyone he wanted. |
Carmen snorted and summoned his wand from Sirius with an outstretched hand. "You’ll get it back when we’re done." She pocketed it. Along with his other wands which she had secretly hid away without anyone knowing. Now was not the time to confront Lucius Malfoy on being a death eater and she knew it. Or better yet, Luna... |
"Now. If you would’ve bothered to ask for pensieved memories from all of those involved, it could have been taken care of without all the dramatics." She waved her hand around in a weird fashion alluding to the idiocy of the situation. |
"Pensieve?" Dolores blanched. |
"Yes." Carmen said slowly like she was talking to a complete idiot. Which in her opinion she was. "Unlike some people..." She glared at Cornelius. "...I like to have evidence of the truth before I act foolishly." |
"My son is lying in the hospital wing with bruises on his face! He was clearly attacked." Lord Malfoy said. |
"He was attacked in a legally sanctioned duel. One where he was the one who instigated the challenge. One where he agreed to the challenged’s terms. Without clarifying said terms. Sirius. Do you have a projection pensieve?" |
"Please call an elf of your choosing to bring it. As you know, my friend Caille is busy at the moment." |
"Of course. Kreacher!" |
"Lord Black calls for Kreacher?" The elf bowed low. |
"Yes. Please bring me the family pensieve." |
"It shall be done Master." |
Kreacher snapped his fingers, and a moment later the pensieve and the plinth that it normally sat on appeared. "Will there be anything else Lord Black?" |
"No. Unless something needs my immediate attention?" |
Kreacher gave a quick look around and decided it could wait. "No Master Black. Nothing at this time." |
Sirius gave a small bow. "Then please return to your duties Kreacher. When you feel me snap my fingers, please return it to its rightful place. And thank you." |
The old elf bowed low and vanished. |
"Right then! Shall we? Oh Headmaster. Would you be so kind as to call Madame Pomfrey up here for an official medical report?" |
"Very well." Albus sighed. |
"Drama queen." Carmen muttered, but Sirius heard her and laughed out loud while still having his wand out. |
Once Madame Pomfrey arrived, they played not only Harry’s memory, but that of everyone in the room that had been there bar Dolores’. |
Once it was done, Madame Pomfrey gave her report. "While I do not agree with Mr. Potter’s use of such barbaric tactics, Mr. Malfoy has suffered no lasting damage. He has no fractures that could not be healed by a simple bone knitting potion. He’s only needed one pain potion and the bruising should be completely healed ... |
Harry had the good grace to look embarrassed at her clear look of anger as he blushed. |
Lord Malfoy turned his ire to Severus. "And why did you not stop this challenge? You are his Head of House are you not?" |
Severus just raised a cool brow at Lucius. "I made multiple attempts to stop that fiasco. Your son would not listen. I told him what could befall him if he continued to act in such a manner. Again. He would not listen. He apparently did not learn his lesson when he took on Potter the last time, when he had actual back ... |
Severus knew that Malfoy was hurting Narcissa. Nothing would please him more than to kill the blonde twit. He also raised his godson to be an emotionally stunted moron. |
Lucius had a natural suave about him. Even in his worst days as a Death Eater. His son however never seemed to grasp that concept. He knew that Narcissa tried to balance his father’s teaching with actual facts, but after a few years Draco only half heartedly listened to her. |
"Very well." Cornelius interrupted the staring contest between Lucius and Severus with a clearing of his throat. "As Mr. Potter’s actions were legal, I would like to turn everyone’s attention to the fact that Miss LaVaunt is building an army in Britain. For this, I am willing to have her removed for subversion." |
Cornelius looked to Carmen, who was perched on Albus’ desk on her right side with her head resting on her right hand looking on in amusement. |
"You must truly think I’m estupida." Carmen hopped off the desk and stood respectfully in front of both Lord Malfoy and Cornelius Fudge. |
She changed her demeanor to one of all business. "Gentlemen. I have much patience. Shut up Potter." |
Harry was about to say something when Andromeda glared at him. |
"But I have other duties that require my attention, so I will disable my filter." |
"Oh dear." Filius’ slightly muffled comment surprised everyone in the room. |
Harry laughed along with Sirius. |
"You motherfuckers in power sat idly by while citizens of this fucking country did nothing while good witches and wizards were left to dust! How dare you! How dare you waste magic that way!" |
Carmen tried to control herself. She stopped her ranting and focused on her core. She let her magic wrap around her like a glove. After a few moments she continued. "All that I’m doing is giving witches and wizards a chance for gainful employment. I am in no way, building an army against you. Believe it or not, the res... |
Carmen stalked back to her perch on the Headmaster’s desk. |
"I want you to think on this. Does anyone here know what the Magical Department of Defense, or MDoD for short is in America?" Carmen asked. |
"Sounds a bit like an auror department." Pomona chimed in. |
Carmen smiled at the nice witch. "In the right direction, but no. Short magical government lesson is in order I think. The Department of Defence is tasked with keeping America safe. They have a counter part that works secretly in the magical world. Fully funded by both governments I might add. They are not aurors. Whil... |
She rolled her eyes at his sad disappointed look. |
"Moving on. As I stated this is a joint operation between the magical and non magical government that..." |
"But the International Statute of Secrecy!" Cornelius shouted. |
The Warden raised a brow. "Do you truly think that the non magical government of England does not know of magic? You yourself have regular meetings with the Prime Minister. Or that...You know what never mind. Not getting involved." |
At Cornelius’ look of shock, she continued. "Anyway, governments world wide have found ways to hide expenditures. It’s usually tucked away in some convoluted budget review that only a sadist would look at on purpose...or maybe a masochist." Carmen pondered in her head all of the politicians that she knew. |
"Carmen." Luna said slowly. |
"Sorry lil Lu. Anyway. There is a whole host of secrecy and deception that fund magical societies in many countries. The current budget of the, MDoD is over one million galleons for various operations. And that’s just this year." |
Everyone not in the know gasped in shock. |
"The non magical budget is far higher. Anyway, I bring up the point for this reason alone. The head of the MDoD reports not only to the President of the United States of America, but she also reports to the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America. She advises the Presidents on foreign dangers ... |
"You have a Veela in charge of an army?" Malfoy asked in shock. |
"The correct term is military. The military has five branches, with reserves of said branches. Now I could go on and on about how their government is set up but..." |
Dumbledore interrupted. "Wouldn’t that be a breach of national security?" |
Carmen’s eyes should probably get checked with as much as she rolled her eyes these days. She turned to Dumbledore. "This information is taught as a requirement in most high schools in the non magical world, and is a full on requirement in every school in the magical world. Naturally, the magical government is hidden a... |
Everyone except Harry gasped in shock. |
"Moving on. I could go on and on, but I won’t because quite frankly it would take forever once you got into departments and sub departments of the departments...rambling. Anyway the last thing I wanted to give you is this. Leaving out the territories for the moment, each of the states has a governor who runs the state.... |
"Anything else? I have work to do and...Oh my Elaine! Who are you?" Carmen breathed as she took in the sight of Narcissa for the first time. "Such a vision of beauty and perfection. You honor me with your presence." |
Narcissa raised a brow. "Draconis is my son." |
"You look absolutely amazing." She breathed. |
"Um Carmen?" Harry asked. |
"She’s perfect." Carmen swirled around. "Do you see what she’s wearing? It’s perfect!" Carmen began dancing around like a lunatic. "Could you help me? I’m more of a doer than a watcher. I’m trying to blend in better, but if I had clothes like yours that would be awesome! Most of the clothes for witches are extra stuffy... |
Narcissa looked to the husband that she despised and raised a brow. |
Lucius gave a quick nod. If they could get her on the Dark Lord’s side, they would be the power couple in the Dark Lord’s circle. |
"I would be glad to assist you in gathering proper wizarding attire." |
"Sweet! Oh one last thing." Carmen walked over to the auror who threw a cutting curse at Luna. She picked him up by the throat after tossing away his wand and slammed him against a bookcase. "If you ever and I do mean ever attempt to harm one of my students in these halls again, I will happily disembowel you with my ba... |
The man nodded weakly as he started to lose color in his face. |
"That’s good. I’m glad you could be reasonable. You should ask the last lowlife that cast a spell at one of my students if I play around. Please test me. My brother continues to spoil all of my fun as he refuses to allow me to kill like I want to." She casually flung him into a nearby wall where he crumpled into a heap... |
Carmen grinned. "So that’s done. Where were we? Oh Yes! Girl’s trip!" Carmen grabbed Narcissa by her arm as they left the room. |
"Oh dear Merlin." Sirius breathed out. He remembered shopping trips with Narcissa and her sisters. |
Narcissa looked to her sister and Sirius in confusion for a brief moment before she once again schooled her features as she made to leave and do as her husband commanded. |
For her son. She continued to tell herself |

Carmen led Narcissa into an abandoned classroom. She was going on about different dresses for different occasions. |
