Prologue:
The night was cold; it was like it was out of an old movie. The moon was bright and clouds covered the moon moodily, dark and grey, leaves scattered in the wind. It was a cold autumn night, not a creature stirred out side of the hollow gates.
"What's so important about a book anyways?" Grumbled one of the gauds bitterly as he edged a little closer towards the fire. He was a tall dark man looked to be in about his late 20s or thirties.
"I don't know but were getting paid a pretty good sum to guard it what ever it is, I wonder how much that book could be…"Pondered the smaller of the three. A mist snaked its way across the area invoking it; it had come out of no where. Suddenly the guard that had not spoken began to make his way back towards the building his hands dangling besides him. 'This better be good.' He thought as he moved up the corridor.
The Librarians heart pounded in his rib cage. No body should be in here…he had seen a flicker of movement in the shadows. He moved slowly from the safety of the desk shivering as he did so. The lantern seemed to light up the dark dam walls of the library scattering spiders for every direction. "Whose there?" He whispered his voice shaking. A flicker of movement made him whirled around. He took several steps backwards coughing.
'It's just my imagination, no ones here I'm- The sound of glass breaking made him shrink to the floor. The doors flung open and the guard from below burst in he marched past the Librarian, "What is it now?" He demanded his voice was cold and filled with malice. He had dark greasy black hair his eyes flickered around the library.
"You fool!" he barked storming past him, the Librarian got up and slowly followed after him. "You should have called me imminently, how do you expect me to apparate in front of Muggles?" He barked. In front of them laid broken glasses, an archway with an eye of a dragon flickered around the room, claws which once held a precious object were know empty they were burned and mutilated. Were the book had once been was a single piece of paper.
"Beware the one who lingers in the dark,"
"Next I shall strike the falling tower."

"What is this suppose to mean?" Demanded Snape his eyes narrowed he raised his wand expecting some sort of a hexes to come out of the shadows. The alarms rang off but it was already too late. For the thief was already long gone. A man with moon shaped spectacles stepped out of the shadows.
"It seems are thief is more, clever then we thought." Dumbledore's voice was soft and clipped he walked across the clearing and stopped besides Snape. He studied the parchment for a moment.
Snape's eyes narrowed, "No not cleverness just the element of surprise that is all," Snape frowned, "There doesn't appear to be any hexes…he's left another note…and it doesn't make sense it seems as if he's- Giving us warnings of a kind- But what kind of thief gives warnings before he strikes?" questioned Snape softly to himself a frown tugging at the edge of his lips.
Dumbledore frowned, "I suppose that…the thief can only answer that himself." And yet Dumbledore seemed to have a knowing look on his face, his eyes had never left the parchment he turned away his eyes studying the room the librarian trembled, " You may come out know."
Snape raised an eyebrow, "Or herself…." Dumbledore merely shook his head before turning and looking at the clear moon, "Perhaps we should meet again else were Serves the arourers will arrive soon, and I think its best if we are not here when they arrive."
The Liberian moved foreword his eyes wide with horror, "Perhaps it is best that you do not remember the encounter." With a flash of light the Liberian blinked and returned to his studies.
Snape merely nodded his head a moment later the guards burst into the room. Snape stood in front of them and muttered the words for a memory charm. All of there memories of him would be gone, and there encounters, as well as the footage from the video tape.
"We will talk more of this later," With that Dumbledore apparated.
Snape paused before scanning the room nothing else was out of place, the thief could have taken treasure anything else. And yet…all he had taken was a ragged old book. He had to have been studying this place for months and had to know of its treasures and yet…, 'that book must be worth quite a lot.' Snape thought treasures and jewels lined the shelves carved into the wall, and with out a second glance he was gone.
Artemis's was irritable to say the least. His dark blue eyes glanced at the man in front of him. Fudge he was the minister of the magical world at least that was his title. Artemis's couldn't help but be disappointed he had expect something else…He could have been in any court room in the world.
"Really Fudge this is it?" His tone was soft and clipped and his eyes scanned the minister's face, the minister's hands were sweaty and he kept scratching his noose pulling at his collar. All the signs that he was either lying or extremely nervous either way it didn't matter they had no proof that involved him directly in the crime.
Fudge scowled and glared at the boy anger flashing in his eyes, "There can be more Artemis's I'm sure it would only take a moment for me to come up with some suitable punishments." His tone was cold and he had a smirk plastered on his face.
"And what would they be? And honestly do you think I would let you get away with anything you try to force me into? I am not one of your cronies you can push around Fudge I thought you learned that." Artemis's scanned Fudge a vampire like grin spread across his feature. His expression remained motionless cold and socotic.
Fudge shivered and then regained his composure, "Some times being to smart can get you into trouble boy." Fudge snapped, "Until you are proven innocent of the crimes you are accused of you will be under watch of several arourers that will be stationed at your stay."
"And if I refuse?"
"I don't think you really have a choice in the matter boy, either you go by my terms or- Or what you'll snap my wand?" Artemis laughed it sent shivers down Fudges spine. Suddenly the doors opened and a man with moon shaped spectacles calmly walked over towards Artemis's who sat in the middle of the room.
Dumbledore walked into the room he was calm, and he scanned Artemis knowingly. His tone was calm he met Fudges gaze for a moment. Sweat seemed to dominate Fudges brows know.
"Well sense when dose this matter- This matter dose concern me if Artemis's is to intend my school I wish to know the charges that he is accused of," He spoke calmly, " Besides you hold no proof against him Fudge…and until you find some evidence, I suggest that you withhold the trial." Fudges face turned red his eyes narrowed.
"This boy is the only one able to use that cursed magic, and he has a history of steeling- A history that holds no proof." Artemis's rolled his eyes he was getting board, this had lasted for an hour already and still they had gotten no where. They expected him to obey there laws…he would find a way through them besides he didn't need a wand to perform magic all he need were the books that held the knowledge.
"Perhaps you should take a break Fudge after all this herring is particularly useless sense you have no proof against me." Artemis's replied calmly Fudge glared at Artemis's. Anger burning in his eyes his lips trembled as he growled "Silence boy." Artemis scowled and his eyes narrowed. Fudge went silent for a moment. Whispers spread through out the crowds.
"You can't speak to the ministry of magic like that you should learn some respect." A woman that resembled a Toad stood a smile stretched across her toad like features. Artemis chuckled slightly imminent dislike of the woman came to mind as he studied her. The way she spoke sounded like nails on a chalk board to him. He met Umbridges eyes evenly a cold sneer spread across her face. She was the one that was against Half breads as she called them…werewolf's and centaurs alike. "Besides you are a dangerous creature aren't you boy?"
"Why should I respect some one who doesn't respect me?" Artemis's tone was void of all emotion. And Artemis smiled a wolfish like smile the scar on his neck seemed to become all to visible, "That…I have under control- Your potion was not admonitory approved- She interrupted her voice stern and cold.
"Know enough of that if this herring dose has a purpose then proceed if it doesn't then let's get on with it, we haven't got all day you know." Barked a wizard from the front row Artemis's presumed they were the voters or some kind. Several wizards glared at him which seemed to silence him.
"Well…You expect me to stop using it?" Artemis questioned, "Just because you don't approve?" Artemis was amused; the Toad woman was a fool to think that he would obey her just because she was in Fudges top circle.
"Well the purpose is Artemis as you all know is a dangerous criminal even if we can't prove this crime he has committed…he has done many others in the Muggles world hasn't he…and what about the kidnapping of Miss. Holly Short?" Snapped Fudge his eyes on Artemis's, "Which we have- Little to nothing of evidence- Artemis's was interrupted again. A vein pulsed in Artemis's temple. "And yet it is still evidence if you go into the wizarding world without notifying us then we will remove you for full from are world Mr. Fowl."
"And it is so welcoming already," Artemis's spoke his eyes flickering toward Fudges face. A smirk tugged at the edge of his lips. "Besides…Haven has nothing to do with your world or the wizarding world…there are different rules…and I have won that game."
As he said this Dumbledore's eyes did not leave him, he could feel it a rather large amount of disappointment was appearing in his eyes as he spoke. Artemis could feel it an uncharacteristic lump forming in the back of his throat he shook his head slightly.
"Well there's also the fact that your Father is missing and your Mother has a mental disorder perhaps you should stay home for the time being, even thought Your Father wasn't much of a role model even if he was alive judging by these charts."
The remark stung, Artemis's wasn't going to show how much. He could feel a surge of anger running through his veins he glanced up at Fudge he was surprised at his anger…After the attack his emotions have tried to out due themselves as of lately…But thanks to the potion he managed to keep his heart beat down it would calm his heart beat.
" And I'm sure that you're a perfect Role model for a ministry, where there's rumors about Voldemort running around and your not even putting up any defenses against him…really I thought you could do much better then that,"
Fudges eyes narrowed, shouts and outrages filled the room and he hammered the hammer onto the table. With that Artemis's rose from his chair. 'It seems as if I have already made enemies among the wizarding world.' Artemis paused for a moment before glancing at Albus. Butler was hidden in the crowd no doubt he had been forbidden to remain at the hearing and had cut in at the last moment as possible.
"Did you get it?" Artemis whispered once they were away from peering eyes. Butler nodded his head but glanced at Artemis, "Artemis's I think that we may need to be more careful this time."
Artemis smiled, "You are wrong old friend, it is they who shall need to be more careful as you say," As he said this he met the eyes of Albus. He had not left his gaze off of him and had a thoughtful look on his face. After all Fudge had spoken badly against his Family, his Father…and his Mother, Artemis could feel anger burning up in him, the burning sensation in his chest…He could feel the hate and anger beginning to rise. He reached into his pocket. That had been over two months ago a week after Captions shorts release.
