CONSEQUENCES
The last session of the Wizengamot for the day was about to begin. Albus Dumbledore surveyed the room not surprised to see an almost complete council, only three of the hereditary seats remained unfilled. The Blacks, The Longbottoms and The Potters. Noticing the time he banged his muggle gavel down on the desk and brought the session to order.
"As Supreme Mugwump I call this session of the Wizengamot to order. It is time for this evening's agenda to be set. Is there any among you who wish to add a topic of discussion to our timetabled debates?"
"Hem Hem" Dolores Umbridge rose from the Ministry assigned seats.
"The floor is yours Madam Undersecretary."
"Thank you Supreme Mugwump." Umbridge began. "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Wizengamot, the Ministry of Magic request permission to launch a full scale enquiry into the events of the night He Who Must Not Be Named came to the Ministry, in particular reference to the five school children conducting an illegal raid on the Ministry. We also request permission to bring formal charges against Harry Potter, Ronald & Ginerva Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and finally Hermione Granger."
There was a Chorus of boos and jeers from the stands.
"Order" Dumbledore called slamming down his gavel. "Does anybody wish to oppose or amend this motion?"
A tall blonde wizard stood up.
"Speak Professor Clark." Dumbledore called, Clark stepped up beside Dolores Umbridge and looked into her eyes.
"While I agree that an investigation is necessary, however I firmly believe that charges should not be brought against these children until the conclusion of said investigation. Furthermore I would like to further amend the motion by suggestion that this council should accept the burden of responsibility and carry out the investigation without official Ministry input." There was a Chorus of cheers as Professor Clark took his seat once again.
"I Call for a Vote!" Dumbledore called. "All in favour of Senior Undersecretary's motion of a Ministry ran investigation of the events of the Department of Mysteries raise your wands." Under a quarter of those assembled raised their wands.
"All in favour of the Wizengamot independent investigation raise your wants." The remaining wands rose to the air and Dumbledore passed Professor Clark's motion. "Volunteers please announce your intent no later than August 2nd by owl. The committee will receive the highest security clearance afforded to this office and the Wizengamot instructs Madam Undersecretary Umbridge instruct all department heads to co-operate with the investigators."
Dumbledore banged his beloved gavel on the desk once more to call for order.
"Next I have an issue of the utmost importance and delicacy. I have in my possession a letter addressed to the Wizengamot passed to me by the Royal Wizard on behalf of her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. It reads:
My Esteemed council of the Wizengamot, as Queen I must look out for all of my people be they like my father are magical, or like myself and muggles. I very rarely enter into the arena of politics, be it in either magical or muggle worlds. However I believe that my magical government has let its people down by denying the return of the Dark Lord, as well as smearing any one speaking of his retun and by doing so has once again submerged our land into dark and dangerous times. I therefore exert my right under the conditions of The Anglo-MugWiz treaty of 1066 to demand a change in magical government and call for a vote of no confidence in one Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic.
Yours With Deepest affection and regards.
HRM Queen Elizabeth II Defender of the faith etc..."
The Wizengamot broke down into loud arguing as Dumbledore tried in vain to maintain order.
In Little Whinging, Surrey, Harry Potter dragged his potions knife across his wrists opening the veins and bleeding on the carpet.
