CyberTech: War of the Worlds
Chapter XI
Hogwarts part one
Minerva McGonagall sat at the teachers table within the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with a sense of unease. The term has not long started and Albus Dumbledore along with practically all other members of The Order of the Phoenix has seemed to have disappeared.
She worries because they hadn't come back from a mission to capture the muggle Prime Minister, and she worries that they might be hurt, or worse. Albus' disappearance has already come to the attention to the Ministry of Magic and they've set her up with a sub deputy headmistress while she takes the roll of head teacher.
The woman they've sent is truly a filthy piece of work and is more racist than most Death Eaters she's came across, and has started giving out detentions for being muggleborn or… well other such things like being poor.
She a pug faced b… woman that reminds her of a fat, slimy toad, and wears hideous pink cardigans with bows in her hair. She also like to talk 'sweetly' to people like they're stupid and Minerva is getting close to hexing her.
If only Albus gets back, and then he'll put a stop to her. Though, that sensible part of her brain knows he won't care enough to get rid of her.
She sighed tiredly when she started as she heard something. Something sounding like wind being pushed. She had heard the sound before somewhere and looked around to see other people, students and teachers looking for the source.
She stood up and gestured for the other teachers and they reluctantly got up too. She took note that Severus looked quite alarmed as she spoke to the students.
"All of you are to remain in this hall!" she spoke crisply. "Prefects are in charge."
Then she led the other teachers out of the hall and out of the entrance hall doors before they stopped in horror as two huge glowing white spike shot from the sky and smashed into the ground glowing bright and standing erect.
They looked up, and Minerva's eyes widened in shock to see five large black machines with propellers in the sky with that now known C and T logo on them. Helicopters someone had called them, and they watched as eighteen more spikes were shot and crashed down.
The pikes were on Hogwarts grounds and a couple were in Hogsmead. Though, it was the fact that these muggle machines could see Hogwarts at all that stumped them, and worse, how did they get through the wards.
However, after a few moments the rods pulsed, and the sky boomed and cracked as it seemed to shatter open revealing over twenty larger helicopters. The wards had been annihilated. Looking to Hogsmead they saw many muggle vehicles with sirens blazing as they streaked through the village, and they could see armed people get out.
Minerva was horrified as people dressed in black started dropping along ropes out of some of the other helicopters carrying large muggle guns, which were automatically trained on them.
"Drop to your knees and put your hands on your heads!" one of the men called out and Minerva did as requested along with several other teachers. However, the likes of the Toad, Delores Jane Umbridge and Severus Snape refused to obey sneering at them.
"If you do not cooperate, we shall use force if necessary!" the military's commander suddenly demanded.
Snape went for his wand and fired a killing curse. However, the teachers eyes widened in fear as the curse just veered off passed a spike into the lake. Minerva was appalled that Snape would use such a curse, but awed that the muggle have seriously gotten the upper hand on them. She realised she should have followed Miss. Granger's example and betrayed Dumbledore and the Order, which would allow her to make sure the children are not hurt.
Snape tried again, but he got the same result again and again until two soldiers jumped him and took him down hard. His wand was snapped as he was taken down, held face first into the ground, and silver cuffs with a glowing section held his arms behind his back. She secretly enjoyed watching the grease-ball getting arrested so violently, as finally he is going to be judged.
However, next three large men took down Umbridge and cuffed her too, taking her wand and snapping it, making sure to guard them before all of the teachers were cuffed behind their backs, their wands taken, though she felt thankful that they weren't snapping them, which means she was right not to resist. Minerva had to wonder what will become of them as she felt the cuffs snap shut around her wrists.
The commander stepped forward. "You have all been arrested under Education laws as it has come to our attention that Hogwarts has not been following the British National Curriculum. We understand that they must learn to control their abilities. However, breaching UK Educational laws and not teaching your students all subjects, science, math, English, etc. included is inappropriate for any school," he said.
Minerva was surprised that they were actually, lawfully being arrested by the muggles. "B-but we have no say in what we teach," she was quick to defend herself and other teachers. "The Ministry of Magic tells us what to teach."
He just looked at her shrugging. "We the British Government do not recognise such a Ministry's existence. "
"You filthy muggles!" Umbridge suddenly hissed out in rage as she struggled uselessly to get free. "You'll pay for this you filth!"
"Shut up you hateful bitch!" Minerva was shocked that the words came from the normally kind and patient Filius Flitwick before he turned to the man. "She works for the Ministry. She was sent here when the headmaster didn't turn up to interfere. She's been giving muggleborn's and their friends detentions for no reason and using a dark object called a blood-quill, forcing them to write with it as it uses their blood and cuts the words into their hands.
"And because she's a Ministry piece of trash we can't do anything to stop her."
The Commander's eyes flashed angrily and looked tempted to shoot her. "I see," he spoke to himself as he held the earpiece on his head closer to his ear. "Dolores Jane Umbridge, you are under arrest for child abuse!" he spoke calmly but it was obvious how furious he is. "Take her now. I'm sure The Crater will look after her until we can bring her before a court. Let's just hope that the other inmates don't hear about what kinds of hobbies she has."
Two men nodded with evil smirks that told that the other inmate's most certainly will hear of it, as they dragged the woman off towards one of the helicopters that was on the ground waiting. She was kicking and screaming abuse but the two men didn't seem to care. Minerva had never heard of The Crater before but from everything he said can deduce that it's certainly a prison of some kind.
The man said nothing for a few moments as two more men and a woman exited a helicopter and quickly made their way over, all wearing black uniforms with earpiece things, and they had weapon's at their side but no rifles. One of the men is a large bald-headed black man that she could see at first glance looked as if he just wanted to beat people up, but on closer inspection his eyes are quite gentle.
The second man and the woman she knew. The man has long red hair tied back in a tail with rings looping around his left ear with a few studs in the top of his right with a dragon tooth dangling from his lob. He had a holster in black fastened around his left forearm with his wand in it. The woman wore her hair short, coloured a vivid dark purple with smiling blue eyes, and also had her wand on display on her arm.
Bill Weasley, and Nimphadora Tonks, (obviously former members of The Order of the Phoenix: a wizard and witch). She was less surprised than she thought she should be to find that they betrayed the Ministry of Magic, as she knows that both of them had gotten tired of the Ministry.
"Commander Karz!" the man who arrested them saluted as the three stopped in front of them and the large black guy returned the greeting.
"At ease Lieutenant Marrs," he replied before turning to us. "Severus Snape you are being charged with multiple counts of murder and acts of terrorism, and accusations have been made against you for child molestation, take the fuck away. Him and the woman I want out of here NOW!" he ordered and three men dragged Snape off as he was screaming in protest.
Minerva couldn't believe that finally, finally someone is going to get to the truth of all of those sick rumours. Though she loath to think about it she's very much in the belief that those rumours are true.
"All right Professor!" Minerva was startled as Miss. Tonks spoke from behind her and felt the cuffs being removed. However, she saw no one else was being granted such relief. "We need you to get all of the students to relinquish their wands or they're going to get hurt if they think about fighting."
"W-what are you going to… to do with them?" she asked feeling concern bubble up.
"Don't worry Professor," Bill suddenly interrupted. "We only ask for their wands as we may be arresting the whole of Slytherin House as the safety of the students has been brought into question. It appears that the male population of that house are under the impression that the females have no rights."
She grimaced but nodded as Tonks helped her to her feet. "But what then? What about classes? What about Hogwarts?"
"Hogwarts is now the control of the British Government and shall carry on as it has, though extra classes shall be added during the year."
She was startled as a young (late twenties) auburn haired woman approached. Her eyes are grey and she holds herself proper though Minerva isn't a fan of her short blue dress that she wore showing off cleavage under her small black jacket.
"I am Professor Nelliel Cline, the new headmistress of Hogwarts," she spoke shocking her. "Mr. Techs was kind enough to offer me this wondrous opportunity, as I have wanted to try my hand with kids, but I've never been too good with the younger ones. I just hope High School will come easier," she said smiling. "But please, we're both teachers here so please do call me Nel."
"Miss. Nel," a soft voice interrupted as another young woman, smaller in size and younger than the first with short messy black hair and blue eyes, she was huffing and puffing. "You should have woken me, what if the helicopter went back to base with me still in it. I might have had to catch a bus back or something," she complained rather childishly for a girl seemingly in her late teens to early twenties. She's always found muggle hard to age without rudely asking because of the clothes they wear.
"Don't be silly," she replied rolling her eyes. "Oh, this is my assistant Ashe Caddis. Well shall we enter? I'm sure they'll be happier with me here rather than that toad they had before."
"Y-yes of course," she agreed as she led them with a whole military force behind them. "W-what about the other teachers?" she asked as they entered the entrance hall.
"They shall be questioned about certain things," Bill started. "If we have no evidence to hold them for any major issue we'll set them free to continue work," he spoke calmly and shrugged. "Plus I believe Professor Cline will be renegotiating your contracts as members of staff."
"Oh," was all she said worried about some teachers potentially getting the sack anyway. However, they could no longer continue talking about such things as they entered the Great Hall. She was glad that the new head teacher looked to the ceiling in amazement with her assistant, but was surprised that the soldiers only glanced at it.
The students had been talking amongst themselves but trailed off into complete quiet as they walked to the front of the hall. She looked to Professor Cline for guidance and she just gestured for her to stand up front and talk.
She stood at the podium with Professor Cline next to her with a soft reassuring smile with Miss. Caddis standing next to her grinning widely. The soldiers had all positioned themselves on alert around the hall but she took thanks that not one weapon was pointed at a child. Tonks and Bill stood up front with her next to Commander Karz.
"Students!" she spoke gaining their curiosity and attention from the soldiers as a lot of them looked very scared and rightly so. The only ones not having a clue what's going on are the purebloods.
"As of today the Ministry of Magic is no longer recognised by Hogwarts!" she spoke clearly, and she wasn't surprised that the purebloods looked completely baffled, but the muggleborns and halfbloods looked as if they at least in part understood.
"Hogwarts is now under the control of the British Government," she continued and could see realisation dawning on children of suspected Death Eaters as they seemed to be looking around in realisation. "I shall be continuing on as deputy head of Hogwarts, and transfiguration teacher. However, this is Professor Nelliel Cline your new headmistress."
Nelliel smiled at all of the dumbfounded expressions as she stepped up smiling. "Hi," she chuckled. "I look forward to getting to know my students. Within the next few months we shall be integrating new none magical classes into the curriculum. Since I'm not a witch I shall be teaching one of my specialities which is biology, and when I'm busy with head teacher related business my assistant is Miss. Ashe Caddis is perfectly capable to take the class…"
"WHAT!" someone screeched out. "You're a filthy muggle!"
She watched disinterested as several people drew wands when before the soldiers moved Ashe stepped forward and pointed one finger in her anger. A huge blue flame shot from her separating, shooting at the boys, and before they could think their wands were on fire, and they cried out dropping them as they slowly burnt to dust. Nelliel gestured to Minerva and she understood as she stepped forward nervous of the girl who can seemingly throw blue fire. However, she noted both Bill and Tonks looked just as surprised.
"Please," Minerva implored. "All students are to now relinquish your wands. They shall be returned to you soon. If you do not the school cannot be held responsible to any student injured while their wand if forcefully removed, and potentially broken."
She watched as lots of very scared students started taking out their wands carefully and placing them on the tables, while a few soldiers went round collecting them after taking names and tagging them for safe return. It surprisingly took very little time for this, and Nelliel looked as if she was about to continue speaking again when a large number of blue uniform wearing men and women entered the doorway, waiting.
"Oh, you're here already," Nelliel spoke with a smile as the students looked nervous. She then pulled a device from her pocket and put it back in her ear. "I knew I should have kept this in," she chuckled before addressing the students.
"OK, first things first," she spoke crisply. "Please release the other two heads of house," she got a nod by two women in blue as they moved from their colleges. "Professor McGonagall I shall ask you to act on the best interest of Slytherin House while I'll look out for the Gryffindor's.
"I believe that it is fine if the Slytherin students are seen first, so Slytherin House, if you would be some kind as to go with these nice people, you shall be separated by gender and questioned. As well we are giving all students a non-invasive medical, which is mandatory."
The Slytherin's started complaining and it was clear a lot of male students looked nervous and some even looked terrified.
"QUIET!" she suddenly hissed, which shut them up before she smiled again gesturing for McGonagall to lead them. "If you do not behave and do as asked I shall be only too happy to send Ache here with you."
"Who the hell do you…?" Ashe blazed away in blue flames to reappear in front of the rude boy with a look that wasn't cold or full of fire but just a look that promised… promised what he did not care to find out, as he was soon practically tripping over himself to get away from her before she blazed back to her original location.
McGonagall led the Slytherin's out of the hall and they were taken outside where she was surprised to see two giant white tents that could most likely house a few family's each with an inter-joining section in the centre almost as big.
They were led into the middle section where there are huge mats lying on the ground where male and female had to sit on different sides while the men in blue stood around the boys watching them, and the women stood around the girls.
It took no time at all for two young men to exit the boy's side wearing black suits and she was surprised he had a list of names and called the first boy in by name, in alphabetical order.
It was a moment later that Samantha Abraham was called in. she was a young one, in forth year and the two young suited (though with skirts) women invited Minerva in. she went out of curiosity as she realised she couldn't go in with the boys.
Minerva had originally thought that the giant sphere shaped tents were completely hollow. However, they had many differed cubicles made out of some kind of plastic, and when they entered one the door was sealed tight, possible for privacy. Inside was another woman wearing plain white scrubs waiting with some muggle gadgets.
Minerva was offered a seat as the nurse was quick to ask the girl to completely disrobe. Minerva didn't feel too comfortable watching, and was thankful it was over quick and the girl was given a robe to wear while her clothes were being examined.
Samantha was finally offered a seat next to the deputy headmistress. The both of them were startled when a transparent screen popped up between them facing the women.
"Well, Samantha, I don't like beating around the bush so, when did you lose your virginity and with who?" one of the woman just asked out of the blue and the girl looked confused. Minerva felt like interrupting but didn't out of curiosity.
"I-I haven't," she answered but even Minerva could tell she's lying.
"So you have some kind of sex toy of some kind you use you viciously masturbate with do you?"
"W-what?" she asked, confused, nervous, and scared.
The woman pointed to the screen. "This is your medical report. It says plainly that you have some extensive vaginal bruising, which could only be sustained from penetration. So are you going to tell me or not?"
"NO!" she suddenly said turning away.
"Oh, well we have one male here we can see to," she commented. "It seems we found some semen on your clothes. However, I'm afraid that the record we are building on you right now isn't looking good as it appears your family may not be a suitable environment for a fourteen year old girl."
"W, what?" she asked with wide horrified eyes.
"Well it appears that Albus Dumbledore has kept some very detailed records of every student and students parent since he became headmaster some forty years ago that we acquired."
"Wait where is Dumbledore?" Minerva couldn't help but ask.
"Prison," the woman answered nonchalant before turning back to the girl. "Sweetie, we're giving you the opportunity for a good future here. Or do you like being treating like a thing?"
The girl grimaced and bit her lower lip nervously. "M, my father!" she whispered so quiet that Minerva almost missed it, but she did hear. It saddened her, but made her feel anger towards Dumbledore for allowing this to go on, and anger at herself for just ignoring it because of Dumbledore.
"It's okay sweetie," the woman said with a reassuring smile as Samantha kept looking at the table. "Nobody will hurt you. All we want is to protect you so you can have a good life, have a nice career that you'll enjoy and maybe fall in love and have children of your own someday."
"So we have to ask some more questions," the other woman spoke and the girl nodded her head with her cheeks flamed red.

"Wow look at the birdy!" Ashe cried out in joy as she barged into the school heads office ahead of Nelliel, Tonks, Bill, and Karz as they had to destroy the enchantments around the office, though it broke the magic elevator, Bill was surprised he broke in so easily. It was almost as if he had help.
Bill was surprised that Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix was still in the office as Ashe petted him, he just sat there and chirped a happy tune.
"Why isn't Fawkes trying to save Dumbledore?" asked Tonks in surprise and worry.
The bird seemed to chirp in response. "I think he knows that Dumbledore deserves jail," commented Nelliel shrugging though the bird made an agreeing sound.
"You are not permitted in here!" said one of the previous head teachers painting's angrily.
"But my dear old… people," Nelliel said with an amused smile as Karz placed a briefcase on the heads desk knocking some crap off and opened it to reveal a portable distortion generator. "I'm the head teacher of Hogwarts now, so that makes this my office."
"Nonsense!" another yelled as they all glared. "Where is Albus Dumbledore!"
"He's in jail for war crimes against the British Government!" Bill easily said smirking smugly.
"That's preposterous!" another yelled. "We shall never accept you muggle filth!"
However, in that moment Karz flipped a switch and in a swish the painting's seemed to have secures before falling off the wall shattering.
"It's a shame," Nelliel said sadly. "Now I have to figure out what the hell I'm going to put on the wall in their place."
However, the moment she spoke they watched in fascination as four huge paintings took their place. One of a shaggy red haired man wearing red, a neat pretty lady with long black hair in blue dress, another pretty slim lady with blonde hair in a yellow dress, and a black haired regal looking man with black hair in green.
Nelliel was fast to turn off the distortion generator (just encase) out of curiosity. The people in the paintings looked a little confused for a few moments before looking down at all of the shattered painting, then back up. It was the guy in green that spoke first in a soft yet strong voice.
"We thank you headmistress," he spoke bowing. "It has been so long that we've been trapped under their control. I am Salazar Slytherin; this is my good friend, Godric Gryffindor, my sister Helga Hufflepuff and Godric's cousin Rowena Ravenclaw."
"Hey if you and Helga are siblings why the different names?" demanded Ashe pout glaring.
They all laughed at her, but it was Helga to answer. "When founding the school I used our mother maiden name as two Slytherin houses would have been confusing."
"OH," she replied sheepishly before her eyes widened in awe. "Wow, so you're the guys that built this school?" she asked and they nodded. "Wow, that's freaking awesome!"
"So somebody enslaved the castle?" asked Nelliel interestedly.
"Yes," agreed Godric, his voice thunderous. "We had been using our influence over the castle for years to protect the children, even if it was from the staff. It happened four hundred years ago. The stuff used to treat those with muggle ancestry inappropriately through either torture for misbehaving misdemeanour's that they would brush off for a pureblood, and in some cases with female student's brutal rapes that had actually killed some of the younger girls."
"That is correct," Rowena continued to them sadly. "We would protect them as best we can, and in some cases help them grow strong enough to fight back, which they did. However, the Ministry of Magic was formed and they realised that the muggleborn witches and wizards were staying strong and seemed to be getting stronger.
"However, they were not getting stronger but the purebloods were getting weaker. It took them a few years but they realised this. It was because they noticed that if a muggleborn and pureblood breed there children will be as strong as the muggleborn making them realised that they were getting weaker.
"They were just too stubborn, and full of hate for muggleborns, and the halfbloods. Also, they grew jealous. They realised that while the memory of the founders of Hogwarts still had control of the magic within the school that their pureblood supremacy will crumble as our world would be open to new possibilities.
"There were some, muggleborns and halfbloods that wanted to live in a world like Camelot had once been where mage and warrior can walk and work together. However, with the Ministry's growing fear, and their weakening they feared the muggles."
"In the end," continued Salazar shrugging and gesturing to the paintings broken on the floor. "With each new painting, another layer of seals is added, as they tell each head after a while. It's sad that not one head had wanted to free us. If anything they wanted us to stay trapped and under control. The Ministry makes sure that no muggleborn ever gets the position as they might be curious and set us free.
"Though, in the past hundred years the muggle world has advanced so much they dare not openly abuse those children so they have resorted to abusing their own. However, it appears in the past few years the muggle world has evolved passed magic."
"Wow, this is fascinating," Nelliel spoke quietly. "It seems the Ministry has a lot to answer for, but right now let them wait in fear. Or at least until Mr. Techs gets back from his business trip."

"Hey boss-man!" a squirt little man with green tinted skin and a huge mouth barged into a nicely furniture office in a squat (wearing jeans, converses, and a shaggy green hoody) with a white haired man in his fifties sat behind a beautiful desk just hanging up a phone call (wearing an expensive looking blue suit). He ignored the fool for a moment adjusting his PC monitor, before his pail blue eyes glared hard at him.
"Toad, how many times have I told you to knock!" he demanded in annoyance. "Just spit it out already I have not got all day to play with you!"
"Whoa… sorry!" he exclaimed. "I forget, but anyway I found Pietro!"
The white haired man's eyes lit up a little as a small smile, which could be mistaken for a scowl curved at his lips.
"So where IS he!" he demanded in annoyance.
Toad started and shook his head clear as a cocky grin stretched his wide lips, and the white haired man grimaced in disgust as a long slimy purple tongue shot out of his mouth almost reaching the high ceiling, as it hit a fly before pulling back and he swallowed the bug.
"He's been transferred to The Crater!" he chimed out in his sickly croak that quite frankly is really annoying.
However, annoying, disgusting piece of trash or not the Toad has his uses. Though, he noted one problem.
"And where exactly is The Crater!" he demanded in annoyance.
Toad shrugged sheepishly. "I don't know exactly, but I do know it was built by CyberTech," he said smugly as his bosses eyes lit up intrigued once more. "And I do know it's in the UK somewhere, but it's pretty new, so news about it is pretty rare. Though, rumour says something about it being capable of holding code reds."
The white haired man's interest was piqued as his eyes widened interestedly. "Code reds huh?" he muttered to himself laughingly, but Toad nodded anyway looking confused.
"Err; boss what is a code red?"
"Get lost I have things to prepare!" was his answer, and Toad knew better than to push his luck any more than he already has, and was quick to leave.
To Be Continued…
