The Rotfang Conspiracy
Chapter 1
DENIAL
Dan and Emma Granger were worried about their only little girl. At the young age of 11 they had sent her off into the strange new world of magic to be educated at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They had always known their little girl had been destined for great things. She was incredibly bright, well above her classmates intelligence-wise and they worried she would have social problems. Then,around Halloween, she began to write about her new best friends, Harry and Ron. Now they were sending her off to school again and still hadn't met these young men.
Through the open window of the scarlet red train came a young voice. Normally, the Grangers wouldn't have done something ad uncouth as eavesdropping, but the word teeth, as dentists caught their attention. "You know. The Rotfang Conspiracy. Where the Purebloods band together to send chocolate to the ministry to rot their teeth and kill them."
The Grangers shared a look. Someone was trying to destroy their daughter's new world and any opportunity she would have in it. They would do anything to stop that from happening. Even forcing innocent people to sit in their torture chambers. . . uhh chairs.
After the train had finally pulled out, still without any sign of those Ron and Harry blokes, the Grangers decided to pay a visit to the Ministry. Having read all the books introducing Muggleborns to the magical world, there knew exactly which phone booths they could enter the word MAGIC into and be transported into the Ministry.
Upon entering the Atrium, they found the Ministry in a state of extreme disarray. "Its worse than I feared." Dan whispered to Emma.
"We must start immediately." responded Emma.
They walked over to the check-in desk and stated their purpose as "We're going to save the world" and were immediately taken to the Minister's Office. Behind the desk sat a harried looking Cornelius Fudge. He was busy trying to deal with numerous sightings of a flying Ford Anglia over England. As a couple enter, in Muggle clothing, he wondered who he was dealing with now.
Emma took it upon herself to begin a rather well planned out marketing speech for being right off the cuff. "Minister Fudge, we know your busy, so we'll tale only a moment of your time. It has come to our attention that no Ministry worker has an aqueduct health care plan. As dentists, we wish to remedy this problem, so as to better the health and productivity of Ministry workers."
Dan broke in here. " We wish you to sign into law a program requiring all Minister workers to visit the dentist. Knowing the sensitive nature of the Wizarding World, we are willing to be the first office to be certified."
Poor Cornelius had no clue what was going on. He was in the middle of a crisis dealing with the exposure to the Muggle world and here was somebody talking about keeping things secret and dentists. There were threatening to expose the magical world. No. They couldn't do that. He wouldn't let them. But what choice did he have. They had backup in the form of some mysterious, and therefore deadly, force called dentists. There was only one response. "Write what you want and I'll sign it." And with that Ministry Decree 978, the Dental Education aNd Information Acquisition Law (DENIAL) went into effect.
Ministry Decree 978, the Dental Education aNd Information Acquisition Law (DENIAL)
"All Ministry Employees are required to upkeep their Dental Health to promote better overall Health and cleanliness. Refusal to visit the Dentist may result in loss of employment and a 10,000 Galleon fine to be removed from the individual's vault.
Due to the Statue of Secrecy and the location of Dental Offices entirely in the Muggle world, all appointments have been made at the Granger's Dental Office. Employees will receive a notice with their appointment time by interdepartmental messages."
A/N
Dan and Emma are widely used, and if you think about it for a moment, you'll know why it can't be claimed as plagiarism.
This idea just randomly entered my head as I was writing an upcoming chapter for Scientia. I was going to have it be a one-shot, but then other chapters began to write themselves, so more will be coming.
