Chapter seventeen
"M-Malfoy," Harry managed to gasp out between laughs, "you didn't happen to anger the hobbits did you?"
"no, I only asked Crabbe and Goyle to attack them, now I am going to the kitchen to make sure that they take this off immediately or they will be sorry" here Hermione spoke up
"Malfoy you do realise that the reason that you continually suffer ill from attacking these guests is that you are breaking the laws of hospitality, if you have not heard of them they state that if the master of a house allows a person to stay freely as a guest then the magic of the home allows for any people who wish them harm to be constantly under bad luck and curses until they cease to persecute said guests."
Legolas found himself reviewing the status of the laws in this land, this law it seemed was of sensible design, at this moment Dumbledore stood up to address the school
"As I sure you will have heard, the immensely popular high inquisitor of Hogwarts has been unfortunately been rendered unable to teach" here he paused to allow the cheers to die down, "the minister for magic will be coming to attempt to press charges against the person responsible"
Although the rest of the hall seemed a little apprehensive for their hero Legolas felt that once again he needed to question those more knowledgeable than he on the matters of this world as to the forms of charges that would be pressed against him.
"Well the sentence can be given by the minister for magic to Azkaban but it unlikely that such an occurrence will happen" Hermione informed him
"And what pray is Azkaban?" Legolas asked
"It is the wizarding prison, guarded by dementors, but having dementors watch our criminals is not a good idea especially since Voldermort is back, Dumbledore wanted them gone immediately but fudge is too happy with his perfect world so he refuses to acknowledge that Voldermort is risen"
"So it would be a good thing if I was to be taken to Azkaban then?"
"If you can kill dementors then yes, this would ensure that the most dangerous of Voldermort followers would stay in prison, it would also rob Voldermort of one of his most power full allies"
Harry looked a little pensive, "does that mean that fudge can throw anyone in prison without a trail?"
"Yes, it is a law that needs to be changed, but in this case I feel that we can work it to our advantage"
it seemed though that Dumbledore was not quite finished with his speech, "the good minister will be arriving shortly, he has requested that he meet all three of the people who were in the detention as well as Mr potter, Mr Wealsy and Miss granger, so could you six please make your way up to the ante chamber, that is all"
It seemed that the wizarding three were no longer so keen on their breakfast, so as the others had already finished they made their way to the antechamber led by Harry. It seemed that Dumbledore noted this as he quit his table accompanied by the lady McGonagall and the pale faced potions master.
Once all were inside the room and the door had been closed and the fire lit Dumbledore turned to Legolas with a look of worry on his face.
"although I approve of your transformation of Dolores Umbridge I fear that it will cause unfortunate effects, it is little know but the minister and the professor Umbridge were engaged in a secret and very intimate love affair, this unfortunately means that it is highly likely that he will send you to Azkaban I will be powerless to prevent this…"
Legolas interrupted him, "I could prevent them from capturing me with ease, but I think that it would be better that the ministry did not know of my species until it is too late, I would prefer it if someone would take my wand before he appears though from what the good wand maker told me it is a very ancient wand"
"But young man, you have no idea of what a dementor is or how to defend you self against them…"
"hagrid was going to study them in our lesson on the day that has passed but we were unfortunate in that I arrived a little early for the class as you will remember we were obliged to leave the castle in a rather hasty manner, as it happened as soon as I came near to these creature they seemed to catch fire and burn until they could burn no more"
When Legolas had started to speak the potions master had had his face dressed with a smirk but by the end of the speech he was staring at Legolas as though he had just announced that he was the dark lord Sauron.
"My plan is to destroy all of the dementor and then set wards that no dark creature could ever pass through, they are same as my father uses on his cells at the palace, having done this I hope to return to this place in time for the evening meal"
Dumbledore was shaking his head, "it is a good plan and a brave one too," his countenance brightened a little as he said, "and one that I think will benefit the wizarding community in the future…" he cut short his speech as the flames in the fire place glowed green and from thence stepped a man wearing a light green rounded hat and black robes with thin white lines running down them, he was accompanied by ten men and woman who it seemed were either his body guards or their to arrest Legolas.
"Dumbledore, what have you done to the defence against the dark arts teacher I gave to you?"
"well fudge it rather seems that the dear professor Umbridge caused one of our more powerful students to become rather angry, he and his two friend hail from distant lands, the school they previously attended was shut down, it seems that the professor Umbridge insulted one of these people and caused them to accidentally change her into a toad"
"That is no excuse…were is he?"
"I am here," said Legolas speaking from behind him
The fat man leapt in the air and turned to face Legolas
"So young man…do you think you can get away with doing this to you professor?"
"Well I managed to affix one of the professors at my previous school to the roof of the castle for…a very long time"
Fudge's eyes nearly popped out of his head
"Were is she," he demanded
Dumbledore progressed to a shadowy corner and brought forth a glass tank in which was contained the self same toad that Legolas had brought to appear.
"I do not believe Dumbledore that you have really even attempted to transform Dolores…" here he turned to the men and women who had followed him, "transform her this very moment"
As they moved to comply Legolas could have laughed at the looks of apprehension on the faces of the three teachers.
A concentration of light was seen around the tank but found to have little effect.
"you boy…" the portly gentleman withered under Legolas' death stare, "would you be able to transform he, as it is highly obvious that you have placed a magical signature locking charm on the poor woman, no person is powerful enough with accidental magic to ensure that a spell remains cast when ten aurors are attempting to reverse it" although the man started this speech in a normal voice by the time he had reached the end he was starting to turn an interesting shade of scarlet.
"I will transform her but not before we return to our previous school, it is reopening after the mid winter."
This calm statement caused another out burst from the man known as fudge
"You…you will transform her and then you will be expelled from this school"
"Since I am not officially a member of this school I can not be expelled from here, I do not live in one of the school houses and so I can not be forced to leave the school, but I am a student but not of this school"
"Take him to Azkaban" yelled fudge
