Chapter Twelve: Two things infinite human stupidity and the universe...unsure of the latter
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." Madame Bones read aloud in her office a steaming cup of coffee next to her.
"DAWLISH, YOU IMBECILE!" Snarled the Madame of Justice, the stupidity of people astounded her. It said on the Auror Job description that SHE had MADE personally that a decent general auror was to 'gather all the information from eye witnesses from the scene of the crime that they are willing to give', 'No-one is to be arrested unless they are formally charged' and 'No auror is to take commands or money from anyone aside from their direct superiors of whom are the Head of the Auror Office or Hitwizard department depending which branch you were in or the Madame of Justice and Law Enforcement her.'
"Auror Tonks!" Bones snapped over the tannoy system.
Nymphadora Tonks, a fresh faced auror she had graduated when Harry had started Hogwarts. She had finished the auror academy just now and was an auror third ranking. "Madame Justice, Third Class Auror Tonks!"
Bones welcomed her inside her office "Auror Tonks, I need you to investigate our aurors pay for the past fourteen years." Tonks nodded.
"Madame Justice, don't I need a supervisor for this sort of task?"
Madame Bones smirked at the little trap "Very perceptive, your officer is Shacklebolt isn't it?" Tonks nodded.
"Sorted, report to him and brief him on your mission."
As Tonks bowed and left she noticed the bible sitting on the desk "Didn't know you were religious ma'am."
"I'm not auror Tonks. I'm researching the chapters of Revelations."
"Why?" Asked the young auror her normal bubblegum pink hair black, her only sign of worry.
"Why revelations? All thats good for is the four...Oh Merlin. Dawlish and crew didn't."
Madame Jones had her wand on Tonks before the young auror could do a thing "What I'm about to say stays between us as both your superior officer and Head of Law Enforcement and Justice." She growled displaying the side of her that got the woman into her position.
"I, Nymphadora Tonks do swear on my life, magic and my honour to never disclose what I see, hear or read to anyone under any circumstances including pain of death what Madame Justice Amelia Bones discloses to me to day until she releases me from it."
"I, Amelia Bones do accept this oath."
The oath illuminated the office and Tonks pulled up a chair. "In revelations it refers to three realms the white city, the burning city and Eden's city."
"Angel, Daemon and Human."
"Correct."
"Now Angels and Daemons have been at war forever. We have been protected by seven seals."
"Should the seventh seal break, humanity is ready for the end of days. When that day comes, the Charred Council dispatches the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to restore the balance...However Harry Potter and his friends have thrown me off balance. Any suggestions?"
"Madame Justice, we've heard of half daemons and half angels as well as sympethesizers for both sides who wage war in humanity to bring us onto one side or the other. Couldn't Harry Potter and his colleagues be Half-Nephilim? Operating on the fringes of Council, keeping humanity out of the conflict until we are ready." Summarised Tonks.
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
"Looked at all the information we have...Tried every possible scenario mentally but it doesn't check with the destruction and albi's the four of them have. Now that we have the bible in front of us referring to the Nephilim from a made up character this quote summarises this situation succinctly 'When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'" Explained Tonks making the head of Law and Justice nod.
"Who said that quote?"
"Sherlock Holmes, created by a man named Arthur Doyle."
"Sir Arthur Doyle, of the Doyle family born in the 19th century?"
"Thats him."
"He's a wizard...Not a powerful one practically but a talented author. Known to When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, sell his works in the mundane world as well..."
"He'd lose everything if the more dangerous families heard."
"Correct."
"Madame Justice another quote I've heard 'Only two things are infinite human stupidity and the universe however I'm unsure of the latter' this applies to Dawlish and his buddies for nearly killing us."
"Another Holmes quote?"
"Nope, Albert Einstein. A Muggle."
Madame Bones stared as one of her newer aurors departed the office.
"She'll go far."
Then her secretary buzzed in.
"Madame justice, one Cornelius Fuckup sorry Fudge is here."
"Send him in."
"Nephilim if you're listening please get rid of this person."
