Carmen reached down and gave him a hug. "Sorry again Pappy." |
Pappy shrugged again. "Yous be human. Yous don’t know anything." Then he popped away. |
"In all my years I have never seen an elf, especially Pappy, act that way." Minerva stared at the spot where the elf had popped away. |
Carmen chuckled as she guided Minerva away from their previous spot towards the staff lounge. "My orders to them were to protect the school. I don’t want them subservient to me and I want them to speak their mind. If we are going to rebuild this castle’s security, I need all hands on deck. The elves, ghosts, and portra... |
They had reached the door to the staff lounge and could hear shouting. Carmen raised her right index finger for silence. She cast a spell that parents used on their children that was a one way look into a room. They could look in on the children and hear what they were saying and see what they were doing, but it was st... |
Inside both women saw The Minister, Lucius Malfoy, Amelia Bones and five aurors. |

"That woman is a menace to the country! She is undermining our ways. She must be expelled. Her brother as well if we have to." Cornelius said pompously. |
"I am curious to know how you would like to accomplish that Cornelius, since as of five years ago he is a citizen of this country. He has broken no laws and is a valued colleague of Minerva’s. Are you willing to go against her for the sake of saving face?" |
"She killed fifty Ministry employees Headmaster. Surely you can see that for the safety of the children..." Malfoy Senior started, but was cut off by none other than Aurora Sinistra. |
"I am surprised at you Lord Malfoy. A Slytherin would attempt to find someone with power, intelligence and cunning to align themselves with. Surely someone who killed fifty dementors to save the children of our world, four of which were Slytherin, would soon be the darlings of the public. It would be the Slytherin thin... |
Severus hid his smirk behind a cup of tea as Lucius glared at Aurora. |
"Be that as it may. That woman is dangerous. No one has been able to kill a dementor in known history. She poses a danger to the children of this great institution and I as Minister will not stand for it." Cornelius took a scroll from his robes. "Per The ICW rules that she violated, she has had her diplomatic immunity ... |

"Caille." She whispered. |
Carmen gave her the rundown of the conversation. Caille rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers. "Here is a transcript of their entire conversation. Sealed in blood along with certified memories by the ICW and their Department of Mysteries. Want Alpha team up here?" |
Carmen thought for a moment. "Yes, but have them in the background. This is going to need a political hand, but I will take their back up just in case. There are five aurors in there. I could take them, but there is too much collateral damage." |
"We’re on it." Carmen swung around to see her team. She also saw Harry, Ron, George, Neville, Fred, and Ginny with eyes of stone and wands out. |
"Dammit Caille!’ She mentally swore. "Little One’s I don’t want you hurt! Even if I subdue all of them your families could be in danger. This is more of a political matter." She whisper shouted at the children ready to defend her. |
"That’s why you have us." Sirius stormed up with wand in hand as Andromeda stalked towards them at his side with her wand in hand as well. He stared down into those beautiful eyes he could not get enough of. |
The trust and the vows she wanted to give him she pushed down. |
"How did you..." |
"A very persistent elf named Pappy. Then there was an elf named Caille who smacked me in the forehead. Kind of painful I must admit." Sirius rubbed his forehead. |
"Let me and Minerva go in first. It will look like we were late to the meeting." |
She turned to look as Lucius Malfoy was arguing that she was a dangerous creature that needed to be put down. |
Memories assaulted her. Memories of...but then it quickly stopped. She felt Sirius, Harry, her team, and her brother wrap their magic around her. She soaked it into her core and embraced it into her magic. |
She touched Minerva’s arm and said. "Let’s go." |
Minerva burst into the door with Carmen behind her. She looked to Albus and raised a brow. "Starting without us Albus?" |
Albus had known of the group assembled outside of the door, but wanted to make sure that everyone knew he had no part in this latest fiasco. |
"You’re late Professor McGonagall." Cornelius snarled as he attempted to intimidate her but withered under her glare. |
"I had business to discuss with the Warden about castle security. I figured that after dementors made it on to the grounds and threatened the lives of children and staff alike,AGAIN, it was a most urgent topic. I think it’s a grand thing that the ministry is here to congratulate her on her wonderful display of magic. T... |
Severus Snape was not impressed by many things, but these two women were...intriguing. Neither witch gave any outward signs of anger or annoyance. |
"Absolutely not! She is responsible for the deaths of fifty Ministry employees!" Minister Fudge bellowed as he slammed down the parchment in his hand. "Her diplomatic immunity has been revoked. She is hereby under arrest." |
"I see." Minerva took a sip of her tea. "And what. Mr. Fudge is she under arrest for?" Her cool tones spoke volumes. |
Fudge opened his mouth, but Malfoy answered before he could. "She is a dangerous creature that must be destroyed. No one can kill one dementor, let alone fifty of them. It is for the best that she is imprisoned to protect our citizens." Malfoy finished. |
"I must agree. I have spoken personally with the head of level thirteen and he has granted me a revocation of her diplomatic immunity." Cornelius thrust out his finger to point to the parchment. "She will be coming with us." The Minister nodded his head, and the five aurors with him hesitated as they looked at Madame B... |
Carmen continued to look through her notes as she ate the delicious cucumber sandwiches. |
"You mean to tell me." Aurora Sinistra started. "That you want to arrest a witch who protected students from nether demons who once again invaded a school? Demons I might add that are supposedly under your control! How dare you!" |
"I too was there Minister. I cast my Patronus to hold them back while she made sure the students made it back to the castle." Pomona stood. |
"She has been named Friend of Vorak the Supreme. I would love to see you give her a sham of a trial and keep your finances intact." Filius sneered. |
"Loathe though I am to admit that the Demon Witch has any skill or a half a brain for that matter." He ignored Carmen as she flipped him off. "She did protect the school from a danger that should have never existed in the first place." Severus said in a bored tone. |
Cornelius felt backed into a corner. This witch was trying to topple his government and that he just could not stand for. "Arrest her!" |
Carmen cleared her throat as the aurors attempted to advance on her. "If you want to know my opinion. These..." |
She didn’t get to finish as some unseen force disarmed the aurors. "Let me make this clear for you Fudge. You touch Carmen in any way shape or form, and not even the darkest pits of Gringotts can hide you from my wrath. I will take my entire alliance and bury you politically and financially. She is my family! And the H... |
"This is no concern of yours boy!" One auror screamed. "Besides." He chuckled. "What can one little boy do against us? All alone. Like he always has been." |
"Now that is where you’re wrong." Tony said as he leaned against an opposite wall with his arms crossed with wand in his hand. "He’s not alone." |
"This is no concern of yours...whoever you are! This is a British matter! How did you even get in here?" Cornelius yelled. |
"Fantastic. I suppose it’s a good thing that I’m British. As to how I got in here, I hold seven masteries for a reason." Tony looked at Carmen and shook his head. "I was born and raised here and I can’t stand those sandwiches." |
Carmen looked up mid bite. "They’re sooo good. And sometimes I get onions in them. The elves have the decency to include ranch." |
Tony snorted and turned to Harry. "Stand down. They’re not going to do anything." |
Harry was still poised for battle. "How do you know?" |
"She’s annoyingly powerful. She’s trying to keep the body count to a minimum, which is why she hasn’t attacked. She’s waiting for..." Tony leaned his head to the right side as the door swung open. "Them." |
"Well this is a fine surprise Cornelius. Attempting to expel a witch with diplomatic immunity without proper clearance." Andromeda mock tsked as she walked through the door. |
"It would appear cousin, that he did not know the damage that two Blacks could do." Sirius stepped through the door. |
"Lord Black." Carmen stood and bowed her head slightly. |
"My lady." Sirius bowed back. Sirius looked around and took in the professors first. "Sorry I’m late. But then again, I’ve never been one for punctuality." He smiled as Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes. He cleared his throat. "Andromeda. The floor is yours." |
Andi gave a short nod of her head at Sirius and turned to Cornelius. "I would like to make this very clear. The next time you threaten a member of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter, I will challenge you to a duel myself." Andromeda said in a tone that sent chills down everyone’s spine. Including Sirius’. ... |
"You have no business here Tonks." Malfoy emphasized her last name as an attempt at an insult. |
Andromeda smirked at the pompous arse. "On the contrary Malfoy. I do. Lord Potter has asked me to intervene in any matters involving the politics of his house. He feels that I would be in the best position to represent his values, as quite frankly Lord Black wishes to declare a blood feud on your house in young Harry’s... |
"Be that as it may." Minister Fudge looked a bit flustered. "She has been declared an enemy of England by the ICW, and she will be charged." |
Filius had to hide his chuckles as Carmen bit into another sandwich and called Tony over. "Look at this. If we move this stone and recalibrate this one, it might make for a stronger shield." She showed him her notes |
Tony nodded. "That might work. We should probably go over it with Niki and Jamila though. They’re already pissed that you didn’t call us sooner." |
Carmen groaned. "I thought with as old as the school was I could handle it. I mean seriously who doesn’t have..." |
Tony interrupted. "You need to stop trying to do everything by yourself. Look at what happened in Manitoba." |
"It was an accident." |
"You eradicated half the ley lines in the province." |
"They were fixed eventually." |
"Yeah. It took three months. You have hired legions of specialists for a reason." |
"Carmen." Harry said slowly. "Focus." |
"Hmm? Oh. Sorry. We were just going over..." She looked at everyone staring at her except Tony. He was still going over her notes. "Sorry about that. So are we still talking about the whole "arrest the demon bitch’ thing? Sorry. Please continue." She said as she folded her hands across her abdomen and propped her feet ... |
Harry and Tony rolled their eyes at the same time at her dramatics. |
Andromeda took the scroll and memories from her robes that she at the last minute had convinced Carmen to give her and looked to Amelia. "These are blood verified transcripts of the conversation that the Head of Level thirteen had with our dear minister." She held up a vial of swirling silver fluid. "This is a vial of ... |
Sirius snapped his fingers and a pensieve appeared. |
After the memory was played, everyone was silent for a moment. |
Amelia Bones spoke up. "It would appear Minister that my presence is no longer required. Miss LaVaunt. A word if I may?" |
"Of course Madame Bones. Hey Headmaster. Wait for me for the meeting. Be right back!" |
She stood and indicated the door with her hand to allow Madame Bones to proceed her out. At the last moment she turned to Minister Fudge. "I have no designs on your country. As I have stated repeatedly, I feel you have the right to do as you want. I may have an opinion of what you do, but I don’t care what you do. My j... |

"Albus I must insist that she is thrown out of the country!" Minister Fudge yelled. |
Headmaster Dumbledore stood and glared at the minister. "Under what conditions Cornelius? She did her oath bound duty to protect the school. She protected the school from supposed ministry controlled dementors, and if my guess is correct, she will be the darling of the country by the morning." |
He stopped and looked at Harry and then Sirius with a raised brow. They just returned his look with a blank mask. |
"She has done nothing wrong Cornelius. She has not interfered with our government. And I feel that if you continue to push her she will make an even bigger impact than you want." |
Albus moved to stand in front Cornelius Fudge. "Once again those foul beasts invaded my school." Albus’ walk was slow but his power was nearly suffocating everyone in the room. "I have warned you once Cornelius." |
"Albus!" Minerva screamed. |
The Headmaster took a breath to clear his head. When he came back to himself he saw that Fudge was on the floor whimpering, Malfoy Snr was paler than normal, and the rest of the staff had their wands out. Sirius, Harry, and Tony had taken a battle stance. "Thank you, Minerva. My apologies for my temper everyone." He lo... |

As the door closed Carmen said. "Wands down." The students and the rest of the team complied. |
"What happened." Neville asked. |
"Mr. Longbottom. I appreciate your concern, but this is an adult matter." |
Madame Bones was ignored. "He’s fine. The Headmaster may be losing his temper at the moment but..." Carmen shrugged. "The golden child is fine. Shut up Mo!" |
"I didn’t say anything." Professor LaVaunt put his hands up in supplication as he laughed. |
Neville looked at Carmen quizzically. She smiled back at him. "It’s a movie. I’ll show it to you over Yule." |
Neville just nodded and turned to the Director. "I have learned, quite brutally, that not all adults are correct. A member of my political alliance, not to mention my godbrother is in there with people that I’m more than aware want him silent or dead." He turned to Carmen. "You’re sure he is alright?" |
"Yes. He will do nicely.’ Carmen thought. "He’ll be fine. You kiddos head on off to bed. Five o’clock will be here sooner than you know it. This time it’s Fred vs Ginny!" |
She watched as the students went to their dorms. Fred looked a little scared, while Ginny just looked scary. |
"What was that last thing about?" Amelia Bones asked. |
"Training milady." She looked to her brother, Niki, and Jamila. "Sirius, Tony, and Andromeda are with him. He’ll be fine. Although he..." Carmen paused and tilted her head to the side. Her eyes looked like they were about to turn colours. |
Morpheus ran up to her but was too late. She had already flashed away from him. |
"To the teacher’s lounge now!" He screamed with wand in hand. |
