Finally had enough time to write another chapter. I started the next but am stuck on how fast or slow I should go to implement the rest of my ideas for Hogwarts and what exactly I want to use or not. This month looks clear for the most part so hopefully I can figure things out and write faster this time though I give no promises. I believe I may be making them too powerful too fast and would like to know what you think.


Chapter 12

Before they could get too far into the research they went to the Prime Minister's office where they would meet him and the Queen. Once in the office they looked around before Cassie spoke up, "Do you mind if I check to make sure that no one is using Magic to spy on the meeting."

"Go right ahead, Lady Black." The Prime Minister answered.

After getting permission Cassie pulled out her wand and started casting detection spells. "There is a spell on that painting to listen in on conversations here." Cassie announced making the Prime Minister pale and start to wonder just what was overheard. "I have currently placed a spell on it to prevent them from recording what is said and with your permission I can destroy the spell work on the painting, and place wards around the office preventing any magical listening devices from entering the room."

"Oh, please do. I would hate for confidential things to be overheard."

After using more spells on the painting Cassie took out a piece of magical chalk and started placing runes in each corner of the room. Once the runes were placed they glowed for a second before becoming invisible. "That should prevent someone from finding them and removing them." Cassie answered when the Prime Minister asked why she made them invisible.

After another ten minutes the Queen and two of her magically aware guards entered. The next three hours was spent telling them about what was actually happening in the British magical world, the corrupt government, the horrible schooling and teachers, and many more problems.

"This is a very unfortunate problem, We are glad you came to Us about it." The Queen started once they were finished explaining. "We give you permission to enact Sector 23 and Sector 11." Sector 11 was dedicated to preventing corruption in the Ministry for Magic, when enacted it allows for the heirs of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin to take over the government. This also allows them to force those in political positions to make vows to not be corrupt or take bribe, to appoint a new Minister for Magic, to appoint a new Chief Warlock, and do whatever else they feel needs to be done to protect all of the Queens magical subjects.

After getting approval and showing the Queen and Prime Minister their ideas for the school they ended the meeting setting one up for the beginning of the summer. They also got the papers they needed with the Queens seal of approval so that they could get things done. Once the meeting was over the seven demigods floo called Amelia Bones to set up a meeting, which was made as soon as possible when they mentioned that Sectors 11 and 23 had been enacted. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and doing more research on their Instant Darkness Powder and the Instant Darkness Ball they wanted to create.

On the 29th of November they meet with Amelia Bones and Minister Fudge. Fudge had a look of horror on his face when he was told what Sectors were enacted, and he was promptly dismissed as Minister. The demigods then gave the position of Minister to Madam Bones and the new head of the DMLE was Kingsley Shaklebolt. They then told Minister Bones about the oaths that she was to ensure all Ministry employees were to make and had her give them hers in front of them. Their next form of business was to send letters to the board of governors for Hogwarts that the Board was officially dismissed. Once they had Amara and Melody sending out the letters they snuck into Hogwarts using a secret passage and broke the bonds that forcibly bound the Phoenix to Dumbledore. After they did that Fawkes trilled happily and flashed away leaving them to have Nico Shadow Travel them out of the School leaving a letter on Dumbledore's desk that he had until school started again to leave the building or he would be forcibly ejected from the school.

Another thing they did while at the school was have Cassie, Travis, Luna, and Neville take the wards on themselves since they were the heirs of the four founders. Cassie was the heir of Gryffindor, Travis the heir of Slytherin, Luna the heir of Ravenclaw, and Neville the heir of Hufflepuff. Once back at Slytherin's Keep they had the owls send out letters of termination to Trelawney and Binns. Once that was done they had Nico Shadow Travel them back into the School where they fought and killed Quirrel, and Nico made sure that the soul possessing Quirrel went straight to the Underworld and didn't try to escape. Once that was done they had Lark Cedric's familiar flash them to Slytherin's Keep so that they could go over potential DADA and History teachers.

They finally sent out a letter requesting Remus Lupin to meet them at the Leaky Caldron on December 10th at 1 p.m. for an interview for the chance to become the new DADA teacher. They also told Michael Jacoby to meet them at 2 p.m. in the Leaky Caldron on the same day for an interview to become the new History of Magic teacher. Once that was done and all the owls and familiars were back they sent out letters to the staff about the changes that were being made, McGonagall's letter also said that she was to inform all students that took divination that the class is no longer available, Snape's letter also said that he was to start teaching better or he would be replaced, and Flitwick's letter told him about the Dueling Club and that they wanted him to run it. All the letters were only signed with their titles as the founder's heirs and not who they actually were, that way they would be able to observe the changes without the staff knowing that they were there. They had also decided that they would use special runes to make themselves look different than they actually were and older for when they interviewed the new teachers.

They also decided that the new courses would be added over the summer and that was when they would update the Muggle Studies class along with hiring a Muggleborn for the position. At the end of the year they would also decide whether or not Snape would stay a Professor or if they would get a new one. On December 1st they went to the Ministry for Magic to check up on Madam Bones, to find that she had fired Delores Umbridge, Barty Crouch Sr., and multiple others and that she was hiring others to fill the spots. Arthur Weasley was promoted to Senior Undersecretary and a muggleborn was hired to take his place as Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts department since the muggleborn knew more about muggle items than any pureblood.

She also said that she had gone through two other departments starting with the unspeakables and that she found out that one of the Unspeakables had worked for Voldemort willingly. After that was done they suggested once they were done going through the departments that they go through the files and question all suspected Death Eaters from before Voldemort's defeat under either Veritaserum or a vow of truthfulness, and since they found out that one who claimed to be imperioused had lied they could now go through them again even though they had been declared innocent. The demigods also told her that it would have been impossible for over twenty people to have been imperioused by the same person, giving her more evidence that the suspected Death Eaters had lied to get out of jail.

They also told her that it was likely that some innocents were placed in jail before so once she was done with her two tasks she was to go over the trials and if a suspect had not been given Veritaserum that she should question them under it. After their meeting they went back to their experiments and on December 4th they were finally able to finish the Instant Darkness Balls. They were little black balls the size of a marble, and when it is thrown in a direction it makes the next ten feet on either side of the ball become pitch black. That day they also got a letter from Minerva McGonagall saying that Binns was refusing to leave and that Dumbledore was certain that it was nothing but a lie even though all letters sent out had the official seals belonging to the four founder's families and that the wards were no longer bound to him.

After getting the letter they had Nico shadow travel to Hogwarts and he forced the ghost to move on and not stay in the land of the living. It was after this they found out that Hagrid had a Dragons egg, which they confiscated and had Mana place it in the basement of Slytherins Keep to prevent it from hatching. They also agreed that they would have the Phoenixes flash them to Hogwarts to force the wards to eject the Headmaster, and to not worry about his things since if he wanted to keep them he would have taken them and left already since he was warned that it would happen. They also told McGonagall that she would be acting Headmistress until they found a replacement for that position. They then started researching invisibility items and charms. They paid special attention to invisibility cloaks and runes that mimicked the disillusionment charm.

They also researched the camouflage technique used by Chameleons and the invisibility ability of Thestral's, silently glad that they had restocked on those items. Their first prototype they made was just Demiguise hair braided with Thestral hair that though only worked on the area that it covered and not on the whole body. The second prototype had a disillusionment charm on it but after a few hours the charm wore off leaving it like it was before. On the 10th they used the runes to hide their appearances to hold the interviews before hiring the two teachers, and they even gave Lupin the Lycanthropy Cure told him how it worked and that he needed to keep a secret about its existence until they released the knowledge themselves.

When Cassie was taking off the runes she got the great idea of adding runes to increase the amount of time the disillusionment charm lasts. After going over what runes she wanted she needed to find out how to get the runes on to the rope and how to recharge the runes. It took her another four days and multiple different tries before she decided to try Chameleon Scales for the runes. The problem was that there was not enough room on one scale for the runes and she had nothing to write that small with anyway.

On December 20th she was walking through an American magical alley in Beverly Hills when she saw a magical laser used to carve things into items without cracking or breaking the item. After going home she spent two days practicing using the laser then using a scale to try and make the runes. This time she was able to make a rune without breaking the scale but she couldn't fit more than one on it. It wasn't until December 26th when Cassie realized that the magic flowing through the rope would be able to connect the runes, she just needed to find out what order to connect the runes in.

A week before they were to go back to school they were informed that the new teachers were settling in and that they would work off of the current syllabus and that they would create new ones for next year. They were also informed that the dueling club room was set up and that the club would be available to anyone third year and above and would be on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Once they read that the demigods talked about some other things and decided that they would have a re-sort every two years, since kids personalities change as they grow up. The sent out the letter to McGonagall about the re-sorts and that they would begin this year after break was over.

They them Mirror called Chiron to see how camp was going and to get updated about things over there. He told them that almost all of the minor gods and goddesses joined Kronos with the exception being Hecate the goddess of magic and Nemesis the goddess of revenge and balance. They then spent the rest of the break with the other demigods, though there was a large fight with some of Kronos' lackeys where Cassie got cut on the arm by Arigus one of the bear twins. They eventually found out that mixing parsley with Ambrosia and Nectar would help it heal but it would still take a while.
