Meanwhile, a siren went off in Ragnok's office. A crash of lightning entered the room and instantly, a mirror appeared. Ragnok gasped as he saw the horrifying images.
"Assemble an Army now! Our lord needs us!" Ragnok cried.
…………………………………………………………………………………
"So, do you want to give me more information or do you want him to suffer." The Dark Lord let out a high cruel laugh.
The door was blasted open; out side was an army of goblins and house elves.
"You shall not harm master!" A house elf squealed as he sent a powerful banishing charm toward the Death Eaters. All of them, including Voldemort were thrown against the walls.
"Master Charlie! I is sorry!" The house elf began to hit himself with a table.
"I'm fine but who are you?" Charlie looked bewildered as the goblins chained the Death Eaters together.
"Starry live to serve the noble house of Merlin sir." Starry replied.
Starry tipped a small phial of golden liquid down Charlie's throat and watched as a silvery light surrounded him. A dark vapor was torn from Charlie, who gasped for air as the spirit bind shattered.
Remus took the Staff of Merlin from Sticky, another house elf, and slashed at the Death Eaters. A golden wave of energy sped toward the helpless prisoners. They were knocked unconscious as the dark curse was lifted. And on the other side, Charlie was doing the same thing with Excalibur. Walking toward the limp form of Voldemort, he kneeled down and found himself staring at the face of Tom Marvolo Riddle.
"Ennervate." Remus tapped Tom's head.
The man backed away in fear, "No…you are with Dumbledore! Please don't take me to him!" His voice quivered. Remus wrapped his arms around the pleading man and gave him a calming draught.
"All those terrible things, I never meant it! He forced me, and controlled me ever since my second year at Hogwarts! And every few minutes he cast the cruciatus on me…" Remus could tell that the ex-dark lord was weak and suffer from the after effects of the cruciatus curse so he tipped several potions down his throat.
The other Death Eaters are recovering now. Most, like their master was under Dumbledore's enchantment.
"Sirius? Is that you?" Remus gasped as a gaunt man entered the hall, supported by two goblins.
The man lifted his head, the family resemblance was clear. This was Regulus Arcturus Black.
Remus now has an entire army at his disposal. Now all he have to do is to get the rest of the Weasleys to join him.
With their master returned to normal, the Dark Mark disappeared. Miles away, in Hogwarts, a certain potion master reported immediately to the headmaster, not knowing it was him that murdered the woman he loved as well as his arch-nemesis.
Back in the Death's Hall, a short figure leaned against the arched door way watching the goblins, house elves, ex-Death Eaters, Tom, and Remus with his son. The backlash from the spells broke his curse as well. Who was he?
Filius Flitwick.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
You might be wondering how Filius got involved in all this. Being a busy Ravenclaw he is, Professor Flitwick was reading while everyone else was asleep. Just as he was getting ready for bed, he was pulled out of his studies and landed in the middle of Death's Hall VIA portkey. There he was dazed and sleepy as all of the actions happened (since it was so late at night, he just regarded it as a dream and just watched sleepily from the door) when he got hit by the Finite Erado Incantatem. So why was he portkeyed there in the first place? Well, Ragnok assembled the army by summoning all the powerful ones to Death's Hall with him. Because of Flitwick's goblin ancestry he was called there as well.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Ah! Remus and Charlie, I just knew that you two were innocent. It's just is illogical that you two would become Death Eaters." Filius squeaked excitedly, "What can I do to repay you for releasing me from Dumbledore's cleverly fabricated web of lies and deceit?"
"I was hoping that you would help us to craft some custom weapons." Remus returned a warm smile.
"Hmmm…a staff will fit you Remus perfectly. As for Charlie, it should be some sort of weapon that's made compatible to magic." Filius murmured as he examined the two.
"I was hoping you would say that. But I don't want anything clichéd like a sword or something." Said Charlie as he mentally pictured himself with different weapons, "I'm thinking of a scythe that can change size to fit my need and also some bow and arrows if it's not too much trouble."
"No, no, not at all, I'll take you to my wand crafting room right now if you don't mind." Flitwick quickly replied.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
"This," said Filius "is the room of wandlore of the Chamber of Knowledge. Rowena's secret estate inside Hogwarts, just like Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets; the other two founders also have secret estates too."
The other two couldn't help but gasp in awe at the vast room filled with different materials.
"The things automatically refill and it contains all the materials in the universe. Of course you two aren't going to go and find cores that suit you. That will take eternity! Now I want you to reach down inside your magical core and call to your weapon. It should draw a mental picture of what it will look like down to the very last detail." Filius instructed.
Remus reached inside him and approached the glowing ball of magic. Inside, he could see a wolf trapped and howling in pain. He ignored it and touched his magic. Immediately, he saw a beautiful silvery staff with a golden-brown wolf carved at the end and amber lines running down the staff, forming intricate patterns. As soon as the image appeared, it was gone and the ball of magic forced him out.
Flitwick produced two lists for the father and son. The list proved to be interesting indeed.
Remus John Lupin
Weapon: Staff
Base Material: Sliver Onyx with molten silver core
Gem(s): Moonstone, ruby, golden diamond, tiger's eye, sunstone, with amber as outline material.
Charles Gideon Weasley-Lupin
Weapon: Scythe (Transformable)
Base Material: Horn and Fang of the Great Dragon Lord Venenum
Secondary Base Material: Palladium, Platinum, Gold, Titanium, Tungsten alloy
Gem(s): white jade, purple-greenish star sapphire, obsidian, lapis lazuli and mother of pearl and opal outlining the dragon.
By the time Flitwick had finished, Remus have a new silvery staff (surprisingly, he didn't have allergic reactions to the silver) topped with a golden diamond wolf with blood red teeth made out of ruby and the two different colored eyes of sunstone and tiger's eye sparkled in the dim light. In its jaws was the moonstone, polished to be the exact replica of the moon.
Charlie's Scythe was the weirdest thing Remus had ever seen. The shiny metals gleamed so much that it hurt his eyes. The Horn and Fang, however was darker than darkness itself. The Dragon…er…his Scythe was made of the pure white jade that put Remus' holy aura to shame while the obsidian horns were almost dark enough to rival Venenum's own horns. The purple-greenish star sapphire gleamed like stars and the lapis lazuli wings stretched behind the main body of the scythe as if frozen in the middle of flapping. The two base materials simply were made into a thin rod which the dragon clung on. This was in turn outlined with mother of pearl and opal that just made things look stranger. And if that was weird, you should see when it changes to different forms….
It's not that Flitwick is not artistic; the custom wand makers would always have to follow the form that the user sees (which they have no control over).
