Chapter 37—Friends, Enemies and deceit.
.
Everybody wanted to see the wand, no one ever noticed the wand when Dumbledore had it now everyone knew that I have Dumbledore's wand. Everyone wants to know EVERYTHING!
"Look you guys I won the wand from Dumbledore so by wand law its mine." I would have thought that would end the questions, I was wrong.
"But that's the 'Wand of Destiny'; Parvati Patil looked and sounded like she was having an orgasm.
"Looks can be deceiving." Hermione added.
"NO! That's the 'DeathStick'!" Dean Thomas said with determination.
"OH! You have personal knowledge what the 'DeathStick' looks like?" I asked.
"Well no, but everyone is saying…"
"Well I am glad everyone is such an expert on something that has been lost for generations." I was getting a bit frustrated.
"Can we at least see your wand Harry, please?" Lavender Brown was making puppy dog eyes.
"Morgana! Here take a look but…" I had just taken it out and laid it on the palm of my hand so everyone could get a great look as there was a crowd around Hermione and I. Suddenly someone snatched it out of my hand and yelled, "I have the unbeatable wand I am invincible." The crowd around me disappeared as Hermione raised a shield and Ron yelled, "Diffindo"!
Nothing happened, no spell, no sparks, even the Hall was deathly quiet. "Confringo", "Defodio". SPLAT was the sound of my fist busting his face.
"Expelliarmus" came from Hermione who caught two wands and returned mine to a very confused me.
"Man with friends like that who needs enemies?" Neville stated and whistled.
There didn't seem to be any spells stopping the teachers as they rushed over and snatched Ron off the ground and hauled him away with the Headmistress following, her wand at the ready.
"What in the hell was that?" Susan Bones shook her head. "I best notify my Aunt that someone just tried to commit murder." She scampered away.
"I bet he is in a world of hurt, wonder what they will be doing to him?" Lisa Turpin mused.
~"Rules or no rules you best do some magic with that wand or Paws will be in for more questions."
~"Thanks Foxy."
"Well let's see if this thing is broke or not, "Wingardium Leviosa" the pumpkin juice pitcher rose off the table and pored some juice into my goblet. "Well it looks like its working fine, Ron's just incompetent as usual."
By now the hall was abuzz with talk and shaking heads. It was clear what had happened but to accept it was being a bit difficult. Suddenly and elf popped in and gave me a piece of paper. Please come to my office immediately, wrote Headmistress McGonagall, password Quittage rules.
"I'm glad you two could come as we need to talk about this as I don't want problems to start over this incidence. I have no delusion that Ron had the intention of killing you Lord Potter but we need to tone this down as much as possible. Please give me any input you may have on this as we await everyone."
Ron was trust up like a Christmas turkey and had a silencing spell on his mouth. This did not stop him from apparently yelling and squirming to get free.
"To tell you the truth Headmistress I am at a loss so any decision will probably be fine with us, I am still in shock." I was not kidding.
The 'floe' lit up and Amelia and two Aurors came through. "OH! I guess I should have expected that you two are involved. Minerva what going on with this group you have collected?"
While the explanation was going on the 'floe' again lit and three people in white came through. St Mungo had arrived.
After another long explanation they unsealed his mouth. What a mistake, he went off that he was the owner of the DeathStick and was invincible and was to soon rule the world and that all you mudbloods had better get on your knees…" They shut him up and carted him off the phycriactic ward in St Mungo.
We decided to keep this low key and not spread around what was already spread around. That was until the Weasley family got notified of Ron's being in the hospital and exspelled. That brought an unannouced and umwellcomed visit by Molly Weasley. The twins were scooted down so far only their eyes looked over the table in the great hall. They even put bowls over their red hair, they knew what was coming and didn't want the attention. Molly Weasley had arrived and was rolling into the Great Hall like a tank.
"HOW DARE YOU, RELEASE MY SON NOW AND PUT THAT ASS AND HIS WHORE…" While she was pointing at me she got at least six stunning type spells and was floated out of the great hall.
~"Did you cast a spell at her Foxy?"
~"NO dear, did you?"
~"I was contemplating what I would send when she drew her wand but it appears the teachers were not going to let it go that far."
"Harry can we have a word?" Fred or George said.
"Sure guys, lets step out the front door and take a walk, coming dear?"
"As if you had to ask?" Hermione replied.
Getting outside and alone, "Harry we want to apologize for what happened with our brother and our mother it was not called…"
"Guys we know and don't blame you two for their actions." I cut them off for any further apology.
"Well we thought we needed to as she drove off Charley and Bill to get as far away as they could from the family. Ron has always been jealous and wanted power. We are ready to split and open a business but as you know our family is poor so start up money is scarce." They were giving the information by taking turns talking.
"What kind of business and how much start up do you need?" Hermione asked.
"A thousand should do and we want to start a joke shop and drive Zonko's out of business, they are long past what the kids need."
"Go to Gringotts and tell them that Lord Potter wishes to support you in your endeavor and I will send an owl in the morning so they expect you two, just do a good job when you open in a couple of years."
~"That was nice of you Paws."
~"I think the upper half of that family are ok, the lower half appears to be out of their minds. Besides, if they make a go of it we will be stinking rich." I was giggling.
"We already are!" Foxy was giggling also.
/Scene Break/
During this fun at Hogwarts the scene is now switched to the hidden headquarters at Riddle Manor:
"Wormtail! Where is that stupid incompetent RAT!"
"Yes Master you called?"
"NO I Yelled you moron, where is Snape and that incompetent Malfoy?"
"Which one Master?"
"Crucio" The younger one you fool!
He is trying to get it on with Bellatrix my Lord. "Crucio"
"Get the whole lot of my incompetence Deatheater in the building in here NOW!"
"Yes my Lord, immediately my Lord."
"I am indeed disappointed at the lot of you. What have you killed and attacked today? Now I want you to kill, maim, rape and destroy until Potter shows up and then I want him here dead or alive with that wand, DO YOU UNDESTAND? Now get out of here and be dangerous." They left as fast as they could as the Dark Lord attentions were with Draco and his attention to Bellatrix.
"Crucio"
"Now young idiot I have bribed the Minister of Magic to grant you a pardon over killing Dumbledore, we will call the whole thing as if you were under the 'imperious' spell. Now you will return to school and get me that wand and if you kill all the Potters we will give you a most favored status. Fail me and you will wish you are dead. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"Yes Master, it shall be done.
So while Draco and that group of Deatheaters were doing their thing. Voldemort and Bellatrix took a few loyal Deatheater to Azkaban and freed all the other Deatheaters. Voldemort was having success and gaining more followers.
/Scene Break/
Since it was summer break we made like students and road the train to the platform, where we could disappear to our apartment. We could see Diagon Alley from one of our appartment windows and of course London from others. Hermione's parents had moved in to the back side of the floor and we had the front. So everything was set for a comfortable family setting.
It started with the Profit and the attack on Azkaban.
"Well it looks like the stakes have gone up; do they report what the Ministry is doing about the break out?" I asked.
"Yes they are going to insure that the Dementors are severely reprimanded!"
"Oh! That sounds like it will work." I laughed.
"I'm sure that will work, even the American President sent a stern letter to Iran over making Nuclear weapons, I'm sure the Ministry's scolding will work just as well." Hermione was having a problem keeping a straight face.
"Yes the Ministry is going to have a summit over unacceptable behavior, and how severer sanctions will cure the problem. They are even talking about sever punishment over using any spell in a violent situation. They are even talking about restricting wand ownership to only approved Ministry applicants."
"OH! Look Paws they are going to have to enact those laws quickly as it appears that Deatheaters are destroying Diagon Alley."
"I don't know? Maybe we should let those who are doing all the talking handle the situation in their suggested manner." I was almost serious.
"So let's saved the day and forget the Dragon dung from the Ministry?"
"Yep, FLAME!"
It was not that we enjoyed the destruction, but then again it was enjoyable to end the destruction and killing by perverts, rapists and murderers. We did the Paws/Foxy speeding with the Phoenix sun burning of Deatheaters. The stench was the downside but we carried on.
~"Paws, I think you need to make an appearance as Harry Potter with the Elder Wand. Then you better make a hastily retreat back to me."
~"Yes dear." I did just that, as I stepped out into the open with the fake Elder Wand I got the full attention of the Deatheaters in the alley by sending a 'Confringo' at the feet of about ten Deatheaters. Those still standing plus a few more raced into the alley that I disappeared in and while the alley was full with Deatheaters it also turned into the blazing sun as twin Phoenix's flamed.
The whole thing was funny; Dumbledore had made himself as the light side of the world with Faux the symbol of Dumbledore's being light and good. We were Phoenixes and destroying, I guess that made us chopped liver. We of course didn't care; we flew out of the Alley alive.
