Hey all I am finally back. I am so, so, so, so, so sorry about how long it
took but I couldn't log in for the longest time. I am really sorry and I
will update more as soon as I can. Thanks lots and lots Jenn.
Chapter 28
It was Monday morning, two weeks after Halloween and all of the students were up and eating breakfast in the Great Hall. Many of them were doing last minute homework or chatting with friends. The most common subject of talk was the morning newspaper which had arrived just minutes before.
The Elementals were all sitting at their table discussing the most recent events dealing with evil wizards and their minions. Last night death eaters and some other supporters of Voldemort attacked the Ministry of Magic. It wasn't anything very big, just Voldemort trying to stir up trouble after a few days of silence. The Ministry was in an upheaval though, and witches and wizards were starting to worry. Harry was one of the least happy because Fudge was still denying that Voldemort has returned. "What do you think Fudge will do now, he is still trying to keep the truth about Voldemort secret. I would like to see what kind of story he will come up with now?"
As if to answer his question, the doors opened to reveal Minister Fudge and a group of five Ministry Guards. Dumbledore was the first to question the minister's appearance. "Mr. Fudge what is the meaning of this?"
Fudge looked at Dumbledore. "Simple," he answered pompously. "I am here to pick up a criminal."
At that three of the guards walked behind the staff table and seized Remus around each of his arms and pulled him up and out of his chair. James and Sirius were the first to react each stood and drew their wands.
"Now, now James, Sirius put down your wands before I have to take you two in too." The Minister said as the two guards dragged Remus over to him. "And why would that be so bad?" The two men asked looking at the Minister with nothing but pure hate in their eyes.
"Now, don't be hasty."
The two men raised their wands with full intention to attack the short man when someone else grabbed their hands. They looked over to see Harry and Blade standing beside them holding their hands and slowly lowered them. Harry whispered. "I know he would love to be able to have a reason to take the both of you in so don't give him the satisfaction."
The two lowered their hands the rest of the way. The Minister looked a little put out but then smiled as he looked at poor Remus who now had shackles on his hands and two guards on each side of him.
"We sorry to have interrupted your breakfast. Good day Dumbledore." The man gave a short bow and turned to leave.
He only got a step when he met Jenn and the rest of the Elementals.
"Excuse me sir but what was Mr. Lupin charged with?"
"He has been accused of attacking the Ministry of Magic and the death of five ministry workers. He will be taken to Azkaban straight away."
At this there was an uproar and James and Sirius attempted to attack the Minister again.
"What about his trial?"
"There is no need for a trial."
"Why not?"
"Because this man is a werewolf and there is no doubt that he was there last night."
Jenn looked at the Minister with an angry gleam in her eye.
"Well I'm half werewolf. So does that mean that I was there to?" Everyone gasped and looked at the girl.
The Minister however was not amused. "Of course not, you are a little girl."
"Well Minister, this little girl has now become your worst nightmare. Because I am from the R.S.B.A. or the Rights for Strange Beings Association. And arresting and punishing Mr. Lupin without a trial is against the law. So either you will give Mr. Lupin his trial or I will have every judge in all of Europe after your ass. Mr. Lupin will also be entitled to a jury and a lawyer. Now I suggest that you get on it or I will be forced make a few calls to some of the higher-up council members."
The Minister looked stunned, then he started to turn red and a scowl appeared on his face. After a minute he returned to his natural color although everyone could tell he was still angry at be outsmarted by a 'little girl'.
"All right, Mr. Lupin will have his trial. Are you happy now?"
Jenn smiled, "Yes, I am very happy, Mr. Caramel."
The Minister turned red again. "It's Fudge, Mr. Fudge."
"OK, Mr. FUDGE, I will be sending one of the Elementals with you to make sure Mr. Lupin is treated fairly. Anya, will you do it?"
The older woman grinned, "Sure." She walked over to Remus, looped her arm around his and started to pull him toward the door.
"Come on Remus, the sooner we get there the sooner we can make a fool of Mr. Chocolate and get back." The Minister became redder than Harry thought was possible but followed the two out with the guards trailing behind.
After they left, there was an uproar even louder that the last the student who were all twenty minutes late for class, though no one really cared. They were all asking what would happen to one of their favorite teachers.
"Will he go to Azkaban?"
"Is he going to come back?"
"Will they hurt him?"
The students were looking around for answers. They were soon quieted by Dumbledore who shot golden sparks into the air.
"Everyone, please sit still while the staff and I have a talk. The prefects, Head Boy, and Head Girl will watch you." After this, the staff and the Elementals went into a room behind the staff table.
Dumbledore looked around.
"It looks like we need to go down to the ministry and clear Mr. Lupin before anything else happens, so I would like to ask if the Elementals would be so kind as to watch the students while we are away."
Agnes smiled. "Of course, Mr. Dumbledore, it would be our pleasure."
"All right then, the rest of the staff please follow me to my office so we can go get our teacher back."
The staff filed out and the Elements looked around at each other.
"So who will do what?" Agnes looked at everyone again. "Alright, how about we all just pick a class room and then have a free day so the students can have a little fun. We can have activities for them to do so they can get the attacks off their minds." The others nodded in agreement. After a few more minutes of planning and deciding which classes each would go to, they went out into the hall again.
All of the students looked at them anxiously wondering what their fate would be.
"All right, students, you will all go to your regular classrooms for class. We will be substituting for you all today. Now let's get moving." At this the students cheered. The Elementals looked at each other with a smirk. This was going to be fun.
What is in store for the students? Find out next time. But for now, please review and if you have suggestions or want to see some thing happen in the story please send it I could always use new ideas. Thanks and good bye.
