Chapter 7

The Meeting with the Confederation

Harry Potter and his friends woke up and looked around. They had made it...or did they?

"WE DID IT!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!"

"I was expecting your arrival."

They turned around to the direction of the voice.

"Ah, Abraham!" Dumbledore then hugged the old man in P. Js.

"Harry, this is Abraham Peasegood, creator of Quodpot and Minister of Magic in the United States of America."

"Yes, Dumbledore. Have you heard the news lately?"

"Yes, sir. Yes. Bad times now."

"I see you brought friends."

"Yes. This is Remus Lupin and Sirius Black..."

"Sirius Black? I thought he was that murderer convict in Azkaban?"

"He is free now. May I continue? Then, my children friends, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter."

Abraham blinked his eyes for a while and rubbed his eyes. "Is he...REALLY Harry Potter?"

Harry replied, "Yes, sir. I am Harry Potter."

"Do you have that...scar?"

Harry nodded and lifted his fringe, revealing a lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

"By golly! I was busy talking to Dumbledore when I didn't know he brought a celebrity more famous than The Weird Sisters themselves! Welcome Harry to Louisiana!" He looked at his watch. "Oh dear! Sorry Dumbledore but I must attend my meeting..."

"Meeting about what?"

"Meeting about the incidents that just happened. The International Confederation of Wizards and the Wizarding Senate will also be attending this."

"May we follow you to the meeting?"

"Certainly. Besides, ol' Fudge has been sick these days. We'll need a representative for England still!"

"We'll be the representatives."

"Then let's go!"

They followed Abraham to his car. He drove them all the way to a deserted moor.

"There it is, my representatives."

A tall large white building stood right in the middle of the moor. 60 stories tall and covers 700 square feet, it may seem impossible for this building to be hidden from Muggles unless it was being charmed by Disillusionment Charms daily.

When they entered, they found a tall chamber, filling the interior of the building. They have to go through a door and climb up several steps before they reached their "pod". The walls of the chamber are filled with these pods and representatives, including the Supreme Chancellor of the International Confederation of Wizards sit on comfortable chairs on these pods. If they wish to speak to all wizards, the pod will levitate and move to the center of the chamber.

"THE SUPREME CHANCELLOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFEDERATION OF WIZARDS SHALL NOW SPEAK!!!" The Chancellor's pod then levitated and moved to the center of the room. He pointed his wand to his throat, "Sonorus."

"My dear fellow friends from the International Confederation of Wizards, the Wizarding Senate and the representatives from each country. A capture of an infamous villain has triggered a series of unexpected chain events. We have sent letters to every Ministry of Magic to write a report about the country's status and opinions about this new menace. Since there are more than 300 countries in this planet, our Secretary was asked to write a report summarizing every single report sent."

After that, the Secretary's pod levitated and moved beside the Supreme Chancellor's pod. He gave a folder to the Supreme Chancellor and his pod moved back to its original position. The Chancellor opened the folder and read:

"According to all reports, the situation of all countries are chaotic. The people were divided into factions and were hidden in places hard to find. Some had went to mountain regions and stayed there temporarily. It is also said that the Wizarding school sessions have been stalled. If this goes on, the students will be behind in their studies. 99% of the Ministers have a sole proposal: to find this Muggle menace and stop this."

Then, the Supreme Chancellor closed the folder and asked, "Who supports this proposal?"

Then, gray domes formed on the pods. It's Voting Time!

When this happens, all representatives will have to tap their wand on either two panels, the red panel or the green panel. Red for No, Green for Yes.

After everyone voted, the gray domes opened. It was found that all representatives accept this plan.

The Chancellor replied, "Good. Now, the final question is...WHO WILL GO?"

No one said a word. All of them just put on their thinking caps and thought for a while.

Harry was worried. Someone must go. Otherwise, the plan won't work. Well, it will be worth a try...

"I WILL GO!" Everyone turned to Harry and his pod. "It's true, I will go."

The Supreme Chancellor said, "Are you sure about this, boy?"

"Yes."

Dumbledore raised his hand, "So will I."

Ron and Hermione said, "So will I."

Remus and Sirius said, "So will I."

"So will I."

They turned to the direction of the voice.

"PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL?"

There she was, with glasses and all, she stood in another pod.

The Supreme Chancellor spoke, "So be it. These seven people shall venture on a quest beyond perilous. No matter whether they succeed or fail, this deed will be remembered by all wizards for generations to come. Council Dismissed!"

Everyone left their pods, including Harry and the rest. They met Professor McGonagall. "How did you get here?" Hermione asked.

"It is much easier to transform into a tabby cat and hitch a ride on a Muggle airplane than finding a Portkey."

The Supreme Chancellor met all seven of them. "I see you are still fit although aging, Dumbledore."

"Never underestimate an old man, Chancellor."

"Good luck on your mission, all of you." He shook Dumbledore's hand and left the building. Remus and Sirius made a high-five. They met Abraham Peasegood outside. "I see you are ready to take the risks. Oh, yes, I have to drive you to the nearest wizard hotel. Tomorrow, I will drive you to Miami, Florida."

A/N: This is not as insane, yet. See what happens in days to come.
