Chapter 46
Harry and Xander walked out off the office and both had a lot to think about. "He talked quite a lot and was surprisingly honest," Harry stated. "Umm, I had cast a simple, but effective truth spell with an area affect which affected all of us."
Harry blinked and then looked at him. "Sneaky." Xander shrugged. "The sorting hat did say I would do well in the Slytherin dorm, but that they would not survive with me among them." "WHAT?" Harry screamed and somewhere in China, "What was that?"
"Keep your voice down, I do think they heard you in China," Xander whined rubbing his ears while in Africa. "Witch doctor, you got to help me I hear weird teens, girls and boys in far away countries."
"No it's just the hat said I would do well in Slytherin as well, but nothing about me destroying them on the other hand," Harry said with a grin. Xander shrugged. "I'm brutal, but effective, learned that while hunting demons and Vampire. A dead and destroyed enemy does not come back the next day and tries to kill you again, not often anyway. Let me tell you about the Master and he started to tell and Harry was shocked. They had to destroy the bones of the vampire just to keep it from coming back.

In the Headmaster's office the Aurors had just arrived and were getting the report about the criminal that had just escaped them and with Albus help they promptly saved Mad Eye Moody. Some of them seemed a bit curios about how a Phoenix could smirk with a beak.
+W+
Once back in the Great Hall silence faced them. All of them looked at the two of them in, fear, awe or shock. Dawn took the chance to run over to Harry and hugged him. "Hi, missed me?" she asked, making sure all of the fan-girls saw it and feel the salt being rubbed into the open wounds.
Behind them Ron left for the dorms. He better return Harry's cloak or there would be hell to pay, but now he had evidence. Xander was a Dark Wizard after all he was supposed to be in Slytherin, just like Harry. But how could he use it against him? Damn it.
Slowly the idea started to grow. He could make the others aware of how evil Xander was and attack him in the back, If and when he got the chance. It was for the greater good and to protect the school and his family against that evil asshole.
As Ron left steaming in jealousy Hermione walked up to Xander. "Seems like our date turned a bit crazy," she said sadly.
Xander nodded. "I would normally blame my luck. It's all weird, but in this case I blame Harry."
"Hey," Harry said annoyed.
"Xander," Hermione said smashing him on the hand. "What is that rumor I heard about a glass shield?" She glared at him, because she did not see a glass shield and she knew about him being able to use different magic. Xander quickly captured her in a hug and whispered in her ear. "To hide what I can do. We pretend it was just theatrical tricks I used. Now pretend I said something romantic or I make you blush."
Her response was. "Pretend? What do you...," then she blushed as she felt a hand slap her ass, but both of Xander's hands where at her shoulder which she did not recognize at first, she quickly pushed him away blushing. "That was not nice," she said and then she noticed where Xander's hands were.
"Sorry, could not help myself. You do remember what I said?" Xander asked. Hermione blinked and then remember it. She totally understood. He gave her the information she wanted, information that needed to be kept secret and everybody in the Great Hall believed that Xander had said something rude, or romantic or just... She blushed again. Analyzing the memory she remembered Xander's hands where at her shoulder the whole time and she felt like a hand slapped her rear parts. He used magic to slap her on the ass. "Clever." She smiled and was now forgiving him. He used the right way to make the whole school gossip factory hide anything unusual.
Xander bowed down. "I aim to please and curse to kill my lady." Hermione grinned. "There's more to this story, right?"
Harry nodded. "We'll tell you tomorrow in the room of requirement."
They looked around and noted that the house elves had fixed up the battle place and it looked once again perfect so they walked to the tables with the food.
On stage the band 'The Weird Sisters' where playing again. The group was made out of eight, all males. Why they called themselves Sisters, Xander had no idea? Must be like the Twisted Sisters thing. At least they knew that the show must go on.
The return of the White Wizard and the Boy that lived seem to have broken a dam and the party started again. Gossiping, laughing and food was eaten.
Harry was surprised to see that Miss Vane was levitated out by Madam Pomfrey.
Fred grinned. "It seems the Beuxbatons champion Fleur did not enjoy being splashed all over with Pumpkin Juice or crash land on our charming White Knight. When she found out that lovely Romilda had cursed poor Dawn she showed the witch why angering a Veela is bad for you health."
George nodded. "Indeed, they had to force Fleur away from whiny tiny Romilda or she would have killed her." He grinned. "And Dawn was not helping. She was standing on the side jumping and screaming GO Fleur, Kill her Fleur, France RULES, Go Fleur."
Dawn blushed. "So? The Bitch deserves it. I've been tripping all night over anything and had no clue why." Harry slowly nodded "So that's why Fleur is sitting next to you."
"Oui...," the lovely girl said.
"She said yes," Dawn translated. Fleur was surprised some how she understood every English word Dawn was saying, like it was French. "Why don't you present your friends Dawn? I would love to meet them." Fleur said in French
Xander frowned he knew French so he understood what she had said. "I do not mind I you talk French I understand it quite well," he said in French, hoping he got all of it correctly. The soldier boy had learned it from people in Vietnam and the pronouncing was not always correct.
"I spend many summers in the lovely areas around Paris. Perhaps you could tell me about the magical areas I must have missed later," Hermione said to Fleur and in answer to Fleur's request Dawn answered, "Sure." She turned and said, "That's Harry, Neville, Fred and George don't ask who is who and who they are dating I'm not sure."
The two girls the first one a pale skinned girl with blue eyes and raven colored hair spoke up. "I'm Katie Bell and with George... I think."
The dark skinned girl of English-African origin said "I'm Angelina Johnson and I'm almost sure my date is Fred... almost sure."
The two girls shrugged. "Not that it matters," Katie said. "We liked them both," Angelina confirmed and the two twins grinned.
Fleur turned to Dawn "What did they say? I must have misunderstood."
"Katie is the pale girl and Angelina the dark girl. They are not sure who is who in regards of the twins and don't really care."
"I see," Fleur said in bad English. How could she understand Dawn's English so well, when the others were almost impossible to understand?
Slowly more and more started to dance to the music of the Weird Sisters.
+W+
Early in the morning
Xander groaned as he stretched his body after some morning gymnastic and martial arts kata. Thanks to the soldier's memory he knew how to train himself in some basic military fighting arts, but also how to train himself in a fighting art the soldier had learned in Japan. It was a self developed mix the soldier had favored a hard style of karate and some softer judo. Buffy, with Giles help, had taught him how to improve and change it to something he could use. What he trained was so far a work in progress.
In the shadows he saw something moving. "Dawn, where are you going?" he asked. Dawn blinked. "Um hospital wing, I was just going to say hi to my friend Miss Vane," she said, her voice dripping with malice.
"No killing, maiming or magical torture and if you use Muggle methods, leave no evidence of you presence. Make sure you have lots of witness for an alibi. Other than that have fun," he stated.
Dawn nodded Xander was such a good role model. "I will and I'm with Fleur right now, so I can't be here on my way to Miss Vane. She and her friends said so," she said, showing a jar with honey and a big box holding ants and other nasty bugs she managed to capture in the castle. "She will be crawling with fun." Xander nodded. "Remind me to never ever make you angry." Dawn giggled as she rushed out.
And slowly, far too slowly for his taste the other students slowly woke up.
+W+
Later in the Great Hall
Breakfast was wonderful except the short interruption caused by a girl screaming bloody murder somewhere in the castle. One of the professors quickly rushed away.
Xander looked at Dawn and asked in a quiet voice. "Did it work?" She grinned in reply and then whispered back. "Yes, did you know that Miss Vane is absolutely terrified by insects? Any time she sees one she screams and runs away."
"You asked around before doing that? I'm so proud of you," Xander said with a huge smile and Dawn beamed in return.
Hermione groaned. "So that's why you wanted to learn the summoning charm." Dawn nodded with a big smile, but said, "I was with Fleur and her friends the whole morning." She waved to the French champion. "Hey Fleur thanks for this morning, it was fun." The champion, a pack of her friends and a bribed boy grinned and waved back. Fleur promised to kiss him if he said he saw Dawn there.
"Glad I found you a jar of honey then," Harry said with a grin. "You are terrible. The terror that girl will suffer," Hermione complained.
Xander rolled his eyes. "Hermione, for what she did, Vane can be glad I'm not finding a Wiccan and ask her to curse her with the spider boil curse."
"Spider boils?" Fred asked. "Yeah, a dark Witch used it against me. Nasty nine big boils started to grow on my body and that was extremely painful. Inside each boil were four deadly spiders growing. Aaron had to cut the boils open and then crush the spiders before anybody was bitten," Xander explained.
In the far distance part of the castle the screaming stopped as Miss Vane lost consciousness and on the far end of the table listening in to the conversation Ron was so pale he looked like a ghoul. He feared spiders more than anything. The idea of them growing on your body was... He rushed away to the toilet he could not eat and also ended up with nightmares for week afterwards.
"Please stop this, before we lose our appetite," Hermione said, as she continued to eat, her parents were dentist so spider boils were for amateurs. Those Wiccan should have seen what her dad or mom could do to a human.
Fred and George looked at each other. "You know a less painful and deadly version cold be used as a prank."
Xander huddle over to them. "It's a prank spell. Spider Boils was invented by a Dark Witch that claimed he was the master of sick humor. He created deadly curses that he consider amusing. He accidentally died after inventing a dark curse that would make the enemies head blow up like a balloon and go boom."
"How did that kill him?" George asked curiously. Xander grinned and replied, "His head started to grow and boom."
Fred looked a bit sick and said, "That doesn't sound that much funny." Xander nodded in agreement. "A dark and evil crazy person, which claimed the title master of sick humor, what do you expect? Something nice?" Xander said. He looked at them and then the twins they nodded. "Some of the dark witches I've seen have adopted curses and made working curses or were inspired by that bastard. Spider Boils are quite effective, it's real difficult to fight with huge boils on your body, painful boils and if they are punctured, blood and slime rushes out together with deadly spiders. You have blood loss, infections and deadly spiders to protect against and all at the same time. Its greatest effect is the terror the victim feels. I can never look at a spider without feeling a crawling sensation inside my skin again," he explained with a shiver.
Now more than one student stopped eating breakfast.
"Let us change the subject or I will suffer nightmares and I don't sleep long enough to afford them," Xander whined.
Now they laughed at him.
"It's your own fault, old boy. Hunting monster at you age?" George stated.
Fred agreed. "Indeed you should play with toys, run wild and have fun with your little friends. Unless..."
"Unless... Your idea of playtime is hunting monster," George added.
"Playing with monsters at you age. What about the monster mom and dad?" Fred asked.
Xander rolled his eyes. "No, my idea of fun was being lazy and doing as little as I could and still study with my friends who are all 16 to 17 years old." Hermione nodded and said, "Yes, tell us about your friends."
Xander grinned at Dawn. First is of course Willow, we've known each other since she was five and I was 3 years old which is because of the fact I grew faster and did not look my age. When Willow entered with a year group one year older, I managed to join them as well by hard work and then I could be lazy in class again."
"Then there is my sister," Dawn said. "Yes, your sister Buffy Summers, also known as Meat Shield," Xander said grinning. "Meat shield?" Hermione asked.
"I'm Junior Meat Shield," the 13 year old Dawn said with a happy voice.
Xander blushed a bit. "In combat with vampires and demons they often move so fast that a wizard needs somebody to keep them away long enough for him to cast a good banishing spell or a good war spell. Buffy is like Dawn extremely good in fighting. So while she kicks ass and is forcing the suckers back, she keeps me safe by being my meat shield, until I had a good spell finished. Then BOOM no more vampires."
Hermione nodded. "She was a bodyguard then." Xander agreed. "Yes, she is." Harry looked at Dawn and asked, "Is that not dangerous?"
Dawn whined. "No, not to me, they never let me fight anybody. Just stay inside Dawn. Don't fight the demon Dawn. You could get hurt Dawn. It's so unfair. I can fight too. You saw that yesterday right?" Harry blushed but nodded and said, "Yes."
George agreed. "Indeed we saw you dedication as a protector." Fred nodded. "Not even the lack of a proper dress held you back."
"Impressive," they both said.
Dawn blushed. "Hey my dress was cursed." Xander smiled. "It was really impressive. Buffy did something like that once. She was planning on going to the shower when she heard screaming outside. Looking out she saw a group of vampires were attacking Willow and me. That was before I learned about magic. Without thinking she grabbed her stake jumped out the window. Killed the too shocked to move vampires and then asked us if we where alright. Both of us where mostly to shocked to speak, you see she was going to shower before she rushed to save us."
Eyes blinked and smiles started to creep up. Angelina asked after a moment. "Was she nude?" Xander shook his head and replied, "Not nude, but Dawn had more cloth on her then Buffy had then." Dawn looked at him and said, "But all I had was my panties and my bra, that was all."
Xander grinned. "Still more then Buffy was dressed in. Unlike you, she had her socks on at least... and if I tell you anymore, Buffy said she would break my arm again."
Dawn giggled and Hermione glared. "Again?"
"Long story, involving me learning healing spells, the broken bone healing spell and. the test to see if you have mastered it, is to heal a broken bone in your own body. The book suggested you break a bone in the arm and have somebody help you to make it a clean break and always to use the pain numbing spell or it will hurt like hell," he said with smile. "And naturally I forgot to cast the pain numbing spell before Buffy helped me," Xander twitched."It was painful."
"You can heal broken bones?" Harry asked.
"Sure, not that hard a spell to cast, it just takes time to learn. Before you can learn it you have to study how bone healing works and how they break before you can use it and that takes time," Xander replied.
Dawn shivered and said to the others, "Don't ask what he used to learn that."And of course George had to ask, "How did you learn it?"
"Captured vampires and constantly breaking bones on them while using analyzing spells to watch the bone heal," Xander explained. "I told you not to ask," Dawn said rolling her eyes on the horror on their face. "Do you listen? No. At the end we had a Demon-vampire that dusted itself just to get away from him."
It was silent all around them.
Dawn interrupted herself as she heard some sounds just outside the door. Her dragon spells spirit detection showed people outside. She recognized the Soul of Minerva and the soul of Dumbledore because it flickered in and out from her detection. His Occlumency was so strong that he should be invisible to the spirit-detection spell, but thanks to his habit of passive scanning others with Legilimency she could pick him up. While Occlumency made a person invisible to spirit detection, Legilimency made you visible when used and beside them were a lot of unknown souls.
Her ears sharpened as she improved her hearing to a level she could hear the talk outside. "Aurors outside the Great Hall, they are coming to talk to you Xander and coming to arrest me," she whined.
"What... why would they do that?" Harry asked.
Dawn looked afraid. "Because the son of Malfoy said I was not human and therefore a danger to the other students. Somebody is screaming out there about being the Minister of Magic. Dumbledore is trying to protect me, but not doing a good work."
Xander pulled up his Rune-wand and turned to his friends. "I will not let an innocent like Dawn be hurt by a corrupt politician and his Death Eater friend. So stay at distance, blood and body parts may start to fly. The ministry has started to murder girls like Dawn just because they are different."
"I stay with Dawn and I fight," Harry said and looked around. "How many of us are not different. How many of us have not heard the words of Purebloods like Malfoy? He wanted all of us who are Half-blood and Muggle born to be killed or enslaved. People like us are murdered by the likes of Malfoy. No more. NO MORE."
His word spread around the tables of the Gryffindors, the Hufflepuffs and the Ravenclaws. The Slytherin looked worried, but said nothing. Others whispered No more.
Hermione groaned. "We are so going to be expelled," she said, but was not moving.
"I was not joking. Body parts may fly around and Blood may splash around," Xander said with a grim tone.
"Until it's time act normal. Let's sit down and wait," Harry said. "You are not listening to me, are you?" Xander asked nobody in particular. "Well help accepted, thank you. Remember blood and body parts flying."
They all sat down and then the door opened up as six Aurors entered.
Four of them were walking in first, the last two walked on each side of a short man with dark costume and an ugly lime green Bowler hat.
Behind them Lucius Malfoy walked in as well, his cane made a distinct sound on the hard stone floor. The eyes of the blond aristocratic man glared amused at Harry and back at Dawn. "Surrounding yourself with mongrels and dangerous animals Potter? Tsk tsk. How low can a person sink?" he said in a mocking tone.
Behind them walked a sad looking Dumbledore.
Cornelius Fudge stood up straight. "Miss Dawn Summers if you surrender your wand and come peacefully we will make sure you and your family is united the moment we find them. Evidence has been brought up that you are not a human, but instead a dangerous sub beast. If you are human this can easily be proven and no harm will come to you."
They could see photographers behind the minster.
"She will not go anywhere with the likes of you," Harry said, glaring at the minister as he stood up.
All around the table Hermione, Neville, Ginny, Fred, George, even Katie and Angelica were standing up.
Xander remained sitting and casting a minor voice enhancing spell he said, "You are wrong Minister. She is not dangerous. I'm the White Knight of Sunnydale, Protector of innocents. You would not survive with me as an enemy. It's me you should be afraid of. Never anger me." He stood up the wand turned in to his full run-staff form and a ghost like white aura of power surrounded him. "Minster, tell you minions to stand back or face the fury of the Herald," he said, looking impressive like he was filled with the fury of heaven.
"And the anger of Dawn," Dawn helped him. Totally destroying all the awe and the fear he had created in the heart of the law-wizards.
"Yes, the anger of Dawn. I'm trying to be dramatic and scare them away without hurting them. Well hurting them too much. You are not helping," Xander whispered, forgetting he had the voice strengthening charm on and most if not all of the school heard him.
Dawn huffed. "I'm impressive too, you know," she said, standing as tall as she could.
"Only if you are a mouse or equally sized," Xander growled back.
Hermione wanted to cry or giggle.
Dumbledore quickly said, "Why don't we all calm down and talk about this? I have already told you Dawn is no danger to anybody."
"Sure I'm. Anybody attacking me I hurt them back," said Dawn quite insulted by Albus. Not caring that she was helping her own enemy, her eyes turned dragon like and you could clearly see claws on her fingers and her skin looked like it had scales.
"Arrest the animal," Lucius said, if his son was correct this would hurt the boy that lived and that was a sweat deal.
The moment the two closest Aurors moved towards Dawn the action started.
Xander spoke up. "Lightning bolt" and aimed it directly at the blond Death Eater and "Elemental Arrows" aimed at Fudge.
"Stupefy, Petrificus Totalus, stupefy. Accio chair," Harry screamed faster than most of the trained Aurors could react. One fell down sleeping and the one next to him fell down paralyzed. The third parried with a Protego and the last one was shocked when a chair suddenly slammed into him from behind.
Hermione wanted to cry, but was in for a penny. "Stupefy, Petrificus Totalus," she cast, wondering how the hell could Harry be so fast. She cast at the same Auror that protected himself from Harry's magic and her second spell broke his shield, causing him to fall down bound by magic.
Neville did not bother with a spell. He jumped one of the Aurors from the side using a chair as a club. It worked like magic and better than his magic would, the Auror fell like a rock.
Dawn held back in pure shock.
Xander blinked as the whole table seemed to attack the Aurors. More than just that table, there were people from other tables helping as well. Wow, suddenly part of the Wand world was worth saving.
"Bat-Bogey-Hex," Ginny yelled, causing the Auror who fell down from a flying chair in the back to start screaming, as the slime in his nose suddenly became animated bats and started to crawl and bite him in the face.
"Stupefy," Fred and George cast at the same time and at the same Auror, who fell down sleeping.
And the chaos started. The elemental arrows all dissolved helplessly around Fudge, his protective charm worked completely against them and Lucius screamed as the bolt crashed through his magical protection and lifted him of the floor burning him from the inside out.
With a crunch the aristocrat landed on the floor, his body smoking from the burns. He wasn't unconscious, but had sever burn marks and was in great pain.
Xander looked at the old oak table. "MOVE," he yelled, waving his hand throwing the table to the side toward the Auror and out of his way.
Dumbledore quickly caught the table with a spell before it could crush the sleeping and paralyzed Aurors. This did not go as planned. When Fudge arrived to arrest Dawn he was planning on using that to get the trust of Xander by rescuing Dawn a day later. He had friends that would make sure the girl would be unharmed, but instead the boy started a war.
Ignoring the screams of shock from around the hall Xander marched up with Dawn, Harry and Hermione by his side. "Dawn is under my protection. I will not let that Death Eater, you call a friend, hurt her," Harry said before Xander had a chance to open his mouth.
"That's so cute. Xander, can I be Harry's meat shield also?" Dawn said. "Um yes Dawn you can," Xander said and then blinked. "Where was I?"He frowned then it came to him. "Minister of Magic? That's really wrong and quite the error. It's Minister of WAND-Magic, time for you to get educated," he said glaring at the man. "Headmaster, you know my title. Who and what am I?"
Lowering the table Dumbledore turned around. "Fudge, I would like you to meet the White Knight of Sunnydale, Protector of Innocents, Hunter of Demons and demon breeds Vampires, and more important he is the Herald of High magic and without his support our world will be destroyed."
"I can have you all arrested for this. I..." Fudge fell silent as something threw him up into the air and two meter away he crashed landed painfully.
Dumbledore cleared his voice. "Fudge, this man is a master of High-Magic, a type of magic that is stronger than wand magic. High-Wizards according to the prophecy are the magical defense against technology. Without their support we are doomed."
"From the look of it I may defend only myself and the Wiccan and leave you wand idiots to burn. The Wiccan at least does not let corrupt idiots rule them. Nor do they let dark wizards and warlocks run free. Come to me," he said, finishing with a small summoning charm.
Lucius body floated up in the air hanging like a broken doll in front of them. "Cut, Cut," Xander said and invisible knives seemed to cut off the over part of Lucius robe. He grabbed the man's arm. "Look, the dark mark. Want to hear what he did to earn it?" Xander said, showing all people in the hall the mark as well as the reporters while holding up a bottle with Veritaserum.
Dumbledore blinked. "What... where did that come from?" Xander shrugged. "Stole it from you," he said, after all he was an honest person. "Let's see, three drops," he said, pushing them into the mouth of Malfoy.
The man stopped squirming as the pain vanished and he was in a dream state. "Do you hear me?" Xander asked and with a happy voice Lucius replied, "Yes."
"Did you join the Death Eaters by force, mind control or did you choose to do it?" he asked.
The hall was silent it was well known that Lucius was forced to join them under the Imperious curse. "I joined them by my own free will. I wanted the power the Dark Lord could give me," Lucius said with the relaxed and happy voice from someone under the potion.
"I see and your test to earn the mark? What did you do?" Xander continued the questioning. "It was glorious. We had captured a mudblood transport filled with filthy Muggle. The best looking we took with us the rest we tortured and slaughtered. Proved my worth with an eighteen or twenty year old female mudblood made her sing with pain in front of her brothers. I used the Imperious curse and forced her to suck them both of and then fuck them, one after the other and then I made her kill her own brothers slowly with a knife. When I lifted the curse the mudblood was screaming for death, asking us to kill her. I was praised by the Dark Lord for my art filled way of destroying her mind and will to live," he said with a joy filled voice.
The Great Hall was silent and the reporters took notes.
"Talk about a sick puppy," Xander said disgusted. Dawn nodded. "Can I kill him?" she wondered.
"And that guy you call a friend Minister? He was the one that put a cursed diary on a first year old girl. A cursed object, containing part of Voldemort and it was that object, given by Lucius, which opened the Chamber of Secrets. Instead of finding the real criminal you let him drive away Dumbledore and you personally, on his advice, arrested Hagrid, an innocent man you put in Azkaban without a trail. Just like your predecessor did with my Godfather Sirius Black. Another man that you let rot in that hell hole, even after giving evidence that he was innocent. Did your Death Eater friend advice you to have him kissed by Dementors or not?" Harry raged at Fudge.
Cornelius Fudge was having a record bad day. This was not how things were going to go. "Explain to me Dumbledore what's going on."
Xander cursed, "Idiot. A total and utter corrupt idiot. Not surprising when you let inbreed incest born people fucking their own sisters, so called Purebloods, rule you all." He looked at the only Auror that was awake. "Who among you is in charge? And do not point at the village idiot named Fudge."
"I am," the man replied.
Xander nodded "Good, now what's your name?" "Gawain Robards," the Auror said.
"Now Mr. Gawain, evidence said there is a dangerous beast, an animal in human form in Hogwarts." He let the body of Lucius Malfoy crash down beside Gawain. "And here is the monster inside Hogwarts, the real animal. Don't you agree?" He asked while looking at the Auror. A white ghost like halo surrounded him creating a small wind around him.
Harry's magic also seemed to poor out from the boy as he roared out. "DO YOU AGREE?"
"Yes, of course," Gawain said and put Malfoy under the full body bind. Slowly so the Herald would not be angry.
Xander dismissed him. "Now if he bribes his way out. I will hold you Fudge personal responsible. Understand?"
"You can't treat me like that. You can't threaten me. I'm the Minister of Magic," he huffed.
"You are THE minster of WAND-Magic IDIOT. Not High-magic I don't give a fuck and if that person escapes justices, I take care of you and then go after him," Xander said angrily.
"Xander, please calm down," Dumbledore said.
Xander replied, "I'm calm. Do you think this is the first time I hunted down Dark Wizards or fought against people trying to kill me? And if you truly believe that any of the dark wizards I hunted down is alive and in a jail cell, then you are a fool." He turned back Fudge.
"My friends protect the dragon-ladies. The dragon-ladies have protected humanity for millenniums. All of us have a depth of honor to them we can never repay and trust me, unless you idiots do not stop your attacks against the dragon-girls an army will attack you precious little enclaves and destroy you. Remove the laws against Dawn and the other dragon-girls or you will be destroyed."
"I will help you," Harry said and the air was vibrating from the power he was giving of. All wand wizards could feel the power resonant inside them and knew that was one powerful young wizard.
"I will help you as well. He gave me the artifact that almost destroyed me. If that asshole escapes justice again, I kill him," Ginny said and like Harry she also gave away a sense of rage and power, but weaker and less focused.
Fred and George added. "We will help you too. He hurt our sister."
"I'll help because he hurt and murdered innocent muggleborns," Hermione said looking ready to kill at the Malfoy animal.
"I... I will do my best to help you," Neville agreed with the others a bit meekly. "Um oh right I help you. Do what?" Luna mumbled.
Flitwick quite taken by the moment just had to agree. "Good show, ninety points to Gryffindor for standing up to justice and fighting to protect your friends against an injustice and I help you fight them, even if I so have to fight the whole Auror department."
Sprout being a Hufflepuff to her soul could not do anything, but to join her good friend. "I help too. This is a complete injustice done by the Ministry. Dawn has been nothing but a good girl since she came here, human or not."
"Go Minister and make sure the laws against Dawn are lifted or Xander and I will be coming for you," Harry said in a dark and menacing tone.
Xander glared at him. "Go and remove the laws against Dawn. Make sure this inbreed idiot suffers his punishment. Now leave us. GALE WIND," he screamed and suddenly a micro tornado lifted up Fudge and carried him out from the Great Hall, spinning him madly out of the Hogwarts door and drooped him into the lake outside.
"Auror take the criminal and move it," Harry said, waving his wand, banishing the unconscious Aurors outside the Great Hall.
Xander grinned. "I do hope Fudge can swim, if not perhaps it's time for a re-election."
The reporters took notes.
Albus sighed. He should have forced the situation and make Fudge back down, before it all went to kingdom hell. Why could the boy not listen to his elders?
And the worst part was he needed the herald to keep the wand wizard world alive. If what he understood a war or conflict between Muggle and magicals would come. The boy had a power that balanced out the Muggle technology and even better the boy had contacts with the Wiccans, he just learned about last night.
The fact that the boy knew about them was also a source of worry. If pushed to far the boy could vanish, letting the wand-world crash and burn and only protect the Wiccan.
So far he found no good way to make the boy follow his advice and the boy was far to curse happy, ruthless and head strong and how could young Harry become so different so fast? Apparently he also had a deep protective urge when it came to the dragon girls. Was it from what he learned last night? Had Harry already become disgusted with his way of doing things? And why did his Arithmancy attempt of calculate the future fail again and again? It was like a source of pure chaos was standing near him.
Nearby the Champion of Change scratched his leg, before making the table fly back to its right position and he shrank the rune-staff into a rune-wand again.
"He got my father arrested, do something," the desperate scream of Draco was heard over the whole hall.
Snape captured the boy. "Not now fool, more than we know is going on here."
+W+
Outside Fudge was alive. Frozen and scared more than he had ever been. He was also covered by a thick blanket and had a hot cup of tea in his hand. The water was almost frozen solid only the helping hand of Hagrid had saved him from drowning under the ice.
It felt like a kick in his gut. This lumbering beast of a man had saved him and giving him a blanket and a tea cup, while trying to hide the fact that he summoned the blanket with an illegal wand.
Fudge knew it, he could feel it. He had a Wizards life depth to Hagrid. The fool saved his life and he looked back at the castle. For the first time in his life Fudge knew what he would do.
