12: Dumbledore's attempts
– Separator –
Albus Dumbledore stared in anger as Jasmine Potter invited her latest member of her elemental team. When she had started out Albus had expected her to flail about, and be hurt enough that he Albus would be able to completely control the last Potter. Sadly, for him Jasmine had not only survived every encounter, but she had drawn more people into her influence. He had to find a way to stop her, and regain his control over Jasmine Potter. It was time to do what he did best.

"I feel the blood rushing through my veins.
I'm ready for change.
They keep telling me to stay in my lane.
But it's screaming my name (Name, name).
My heart is racing the elements we're facing.
Got us pushing through the night (Night, night).
I feel the pressure, but when we come together.
We'll journey to the morning light (Light, light).
It's our destiny.
No separating us 'cause we're family.
Beautiful together.
I do believe we can do anything in His name."

Dumbledore had first tried the tried and true method of potioning Jasmine Potter and Daphne Greengrass. He had ordered the house elves to place a distrustfulness potion in the 2 lady's food, and drink. Unfortunately for Albus it seemed to have the opposite effect of drawing the 2 closer together.
He had next tried the same with others of Potter's group. With even greater results.
In a last ditched effort Albus had the house elves place the potion in the food of the surrounding students. He reasoned that Potter couldn't complete her elemental team if no one outside of it trusted her. It might also sew some doubt in the minds of those already part of her group.
To his dismay and bafflement Potter seemed not to care about what was happening around her.

After failing to get the appropriate results with potions, Albus studied the dynamic of Jasmine's group.
First had been Parvati Patel. She was almost as powerful as Potter, but as the daughter of an Indian ambassador she really wasn't as important as Jasmine Potter, the girl-who-lived.
Albus was sure he could get rid of the entire Patel family if he needed to.
Next up had been Daphne Greengrass. He had a more difficult task here. Daphne Greengrass was from a powerful family. One that could threaten Albus's own positions of power. The fact that Potter and Greengrass were attracted to one another added just another problem on top of the other ones. It did not help that Potter, Patel, and Greengrass had gone on some kind of quest to rescue the younger Greengrass sister.
Then after completing that rescue Luna Lovegood had joined them. Admittedly Albus wasn't worried about the Lovegood child. Her family wasn't wealthy. They didn't have any seats in the Wizengamot. Her father was considered a joke because of his paper. And Luna herself hadn't displayed any unique talents. So, she could be written off.
Lastly there was miss Gabrielle Delacour. Albus frowned as he went over what he knew about the girl. She was the younger sister of the Beauxbatons champion Fleur Delacour. She had been the French champion's hostage to rescue, but had actually been rescued by miss Potter. He also knew she was Veela
That was the sum total of his knowledge about the young miss Delacour.
Huffing to himself Albus admitted this train of thought was getting him nowhere. He decided to make it a rule that joining Jasmine Potter's team from now on would cause the student that joined to be expelled.

"Uh, thicker than blood, thicker than earth.
Soup ties so deep and wide (Wide).
There's coming a day, coming a day we gonna rise up.
We won't give up the fight.
It's our destiny.
No separating us 'cause we're family.
Beautiful together.
I do believe we can do anything in His name."
– Separator –
The backlash from Albus's announcement had caught everyone off guard. Apparently, there were several students who wanted to join Jasmine's team, but were not willing to risk expulsion over.
Not that Albus cared what the students thought. He Albus Dumbledore was the head-master, and his word was law.
At least that was what he believed.

Albus was relaxing in his thrown like chair at the staff table. A sea of calm in the middle of the chaos brought on by his banning any student from joining Jasmine's little tea party.
Without any warning the doors to the Great Hall were shoved open, and Amelia Bones walked up the hall toward the staff table. Albus frowned. What was Bones doing here? She had no aurors with her, so this wasn't a visit from the DMLE. So, what could she want here.
"Albus Dumbledore" Amelia said as she drew even with the man. "Is it true that you have threatened expulsion to anyone who joins Miss Potter's elemental team?"
Albus frowned. How did Bones know that?
"Yes, I did" he replied as he tried to figure out Amelia's angle. "As you know as the head-master it is my right to expel anyone who breaks the rules."
Bones nodded, then asked "and what rule is joining a team, even if it is an elemental team, breaking.'
"Why the rule that no one is allowed to join a team other than the quidditch team from now on."
Bones nodded again. "Finally, when did this rule go into effect?"
Albus paused. He felt this was some kind of trap, but for the life of him he couldn't put his finger on why.
"Five days ago," he said.
Bones nodded, then turned and pointed to six Slytherins sitting apart from the rest. "I suggest you expel those students at once then" she said. "I have it on good authority that every one of them has joined a gob stones team within the last 3 days."
Shock was felt throughout the room as the singled-out students stared.

"Takin' all we are and binding it forever (Ever).
Together, never severed a song so much deeper than the skin.
We're in a creator culture, even our names (Even our names).
Fall straight into the shadows of the depths of how we relate.
Our body, our family, different parts but one and the same.
Spiritual shame again, I can't 'cause the love we have is different.
You could say what you say.
But nothin' could stand in the way.
Of the rising on the horizon.
Open your eyes (Eyes, eyes, eyes) to a new day."
– Separator –
In the end Albus had to remove the rule he had instated. Not only did 3 of his Heads of House not support the rule, but he was still trying to entice some of the children of those in the dark Alliance over to his faction.
As soon as he had announced that decision Amelia had nodded to the Hufflepuff table, and walked out of the school. It was enough to give him a headache. He just knew 1 of the Hufflepuffs would be joining Potter's little game.

"Do you think he has gotten the message to leave you alone?"
Jasmine laughed as she shook her head.
"He is so sure he is the only one who can lead the wizarding world into the future that he ignores everything else around him. Frankly I think he will continue to bother us until the team is complete."
Gabrielle stretched. "We only need a shadow type, right?"
Jasmine nodded. "If we can I would really like to get someone from Hufflepuff house, but I'm not sure just who would want to join us. Not to mention take on the element that is constantly feared."
After getting no response Jasmine turned to look at her team members, and was surprised to see a group of Hufflepuffs standing there.
"May we speak with you miss Potter?"

An: and that ends this short filler chapter. I can't beleve it, I finished 2 chapters of this in a row. Hopefully the trend will continue. I forgot that I hadn't shown any of Dumbledore's attempts to control Jasmine, and so I decided to show a few of his failures.
This isn't the last of Dumbledore. That is reserved for chapter 14. Even though it's short I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I will see you all next time.
