Part 28 Ripper's smile

The Minister of Magic watched as Giles signed his name with a very Ripperish like smirk. Of course he did not know what that smirk meant but the Scooby Gang did. It meant Ripper was about to come out to play and heaven help anyone who pissed him off. Buffy smiled at the look of shock on the fool's face. Giles handed her the quill and stepped back. He looked over and Willow who nodded. Once more she had created the spell that would show who they were in this world. It unfurled and turned the paper of the log a golden color. A family tree was created and was shown on the log filling out the top of the clean page.

"I do hope this will help explain who I am. I am sure that the proper notifications will be arriving shortly from the goblins at Gringotts. Buffy my dear it's your turn."

"Lovely just what I always wanted to do carve my name into my own skin Szzz you people are really backwards here in England." She stepped forward and signed her name neatly on the next blank page. "I wonder if the bells and whistles will go off again?"

Giles chuckled at that as her information came forth under the Wiccan spell with ease. As it filled out and extended back in time the "Bells and Whistles" also known as blood wards went off all over the ministry. The building shook and alarms bell sounded. Each bell hailing the arrival of the Slayer and the true heir to the wizarding world's leadership it told of the return of a queen.

Buffy finished signing her name and handed the quill to Xander who looked at her and said. "Sharing the pain hey Buffy," He grinned and signed using larger letters as he added his middle name. "I guess I ought to get used to using this name. I just wish it had been a cooler one."

The others laughed as the parchment once more added an impressive family tree.

Xander handed it off to Willow who growled at it. "I am so trashing this thing when we are done." Willow Danielle Rosenberg filled out her name and smiled again as her two fathers names appeared. She grinned at the shocked look on the toads face. The Minister by now looked like he was about to have kittens. She handed the pen off to Faith who shook her head and said. "Man, I am so not a masochist."

"I thought you liked it a bit dark." Dawn teased.

"Careful little D. I mean maybe you should sign too."

"Nope Buffy is the oldest of our side. Well ok maybe it could be fun." She took the quill and it showed her family line. The connection to Buffy was glowing a bright green.

What Fudge noticed however was the bright golden connection to his nemesis Harry Potter that had him speechless. He looked at Dawn then at Buffy and cursed. It was not possible. Lily Evans had been a Muggle born. There was no way she was more than that. It was one of the ways he had used to discredit her son Harry Potter because at best he was considered by most of the really important families to be a half blood. However if this Dawn Summers was connected to Buffy Summers and they were both related to Harry then he was clearly far more connected then he had ever thought. This was going to be a major blow to his administration. Worse yet he could not cover it up because the log. Damn Dolores. The log was connected by magic to the ministry and could not be altered. Worse yet she had cast a spell to connect it to the Daily Prophet. These new comers and their identities would be head line news in the evening additions. Fudge suddenly realized was in trouble.

Even as this all unfolded a Goblin Messenger came in. He bowed to the Buffy and her friends then turned to the Minister and bowed slightly before handing over the notices. "Mr. Minister Ragnok has commanded that this be delivered to you personally. He knows that you would wish to be informed of such a momentous event. "He handed him the papers showing the confirmed identities of the people he was with. The goblin bowed once more and before taking his leave saying. "This is a great day and the Goblin nation is most happy to welcome your returned royals. My leader has commanded me to say that the alliance you wished for will be done your majesty. It honors our people and we hope it will bring peace between us."

Buffy smiled and said. "The honor is ours. Your people are wise and true. We wizards can learn much from you."

The goblin straightened with pride. "As we can from your people given a chance to intermingle and exchange ideas." He bowed and left.

Fudge was reading the documents in shock. Umbridge looked over his shoulder and said. "These must be forgeries."

Fudge looked up all hopes of using their arrest as a power play gone. If the Goblins backed this claim he had to as well."Be quiet Dolores."

Giles smiled coldly. "Now if you are done reviewing those papers I do believe we have some business to discuss."

Fudge looked up clearly shell shocked by these revelations. "What business?"

Ripper smiled. "I want to know why my relative Sirius Orion Black was imprisoned."

Dawlish an Auror who had came in following the minister glared and said. "Because he is a low life scum who murdered an honorable wizard, a man he called friend and muggles." It was clear that the wizard held higher value to him then the muggles.

"Did he now? I would like to see hit trail transcripts then if I may? I do believe as the new head of the most Noble House Black it is my right to see and address and answer any charges held against a member of my house."

Fudge paled. "What do you mean?" He stalled trying to think of a way out of this. If this Rupert Giles really was the new Lord Black then he was in trouble. "I mean maybe we should go to my office and discuss this."

"I thought we were arresting this lot?" Dawlish said proving he was a fool.

Kingsley Shacklebolt caught his associates arm as he raised his wand to try to arrest their guests. "Dawlish don't be an idiot."

"Woot? these are the people who invaded the ministry earlier this week. They are criminals. "

"Since when is it criminal for a member of the Wizengamot to visit the Ministry on family business," Giles asked. "There is no law on how we are allowed to come into this place."

Dawlish looked confused. "Minister what is he talking about?"

Buffy rolled her eyes."It's a wonder Voldermort is running wild with this lot in charge."

The other wizards flinched at the name.

"Man this is sad."Faith said. "It's just a name for some wanta be big bad. You all act like he's a threat or something? I mean really how hard is it to round up the dark wankers just roll up their sleeves and take a peak. It's not like they are even marked in a naughty place."

"Faith does have a point. However so do you Mr. Fudge. I suppose we should head to your office. Perhaps you could arrange for some tea and refreshments. We have had a rather long and busy day." Giles said.

Fudge nodded and turned to Dawlish and Umbridge. "Get the refreshments you two now."

They were both shocked but immediately went to carry out his orders.

The gang all smirked. Ripper was out to play. This would be fun to watch.
