The purpose Chapter 68 The courtroom
November 2nd, 1981
The Burrow
Ruma woke up and looked around her. She was on a small sofa, in what seemed to be a living room. She had always lived in manors and castles and had never seen a wizard's house before. Everything seemed used and tattered, but magic sparkled everywhere. A plump woman came in and saw her awake. She was holding a two-months old in her arms. She heard children laughing and yelling outside.
''Ah, you are finally awake, I see. I'm Molly Weasley. Are you hungry?'' Asked Molly.
Her stomach growled in response.
''Um, yes, very. I'm Ruma Vulken… I teach Magical Defense at Hogwarts. Is William your son, by any chance?'' Asked Ruma.
''Yes, yes, my oldest. Dumbledore has told us who you were and that you needed rest. I'm surprised you even slept through the chaos here.'' Said Molly.
''It's… magical exhaustion. Do you… do you want compensation for letting me rest here?'' Wondered Ruma.
Molly went red in the face and shook her head.
''Nonsense. You were not a bother at all… besides, you took care of young Harry, and the Potters were great friends of ours.'' Said Molly. ''Now, how about I make you breakfast?''
''Alright, only if you let me hold that baby for you.'' Said Ruma as she stood up and extended her arms.
Molly smiled as she gave her little Ginevra as she told her, her name. Molly loved to talk to another adult, being as she must spend a lot of her time raising all those children. So, after quite a while of chit-chatting, the conversation went to recent events.
''Is it true then… is You-Know-Who really gone? I have seen the Daily Prophet, but, you know… hearing it from someone in person is different. I barely saw my husband.'' Said Molly.
Ruma finished her eggs, nodding her head. Ginevra had been placed in a little bed in the kitchen.
''Yes, he is gone… but so is Seth. And that thought scares me the most, for he was the one to lead the vampires… and have a control over Grindelwald.'' Mumbled Ruma.
Molly stayed silent as she scrubbed a pan.
''Wasn't he You-Know-Who's follower? Isn't that a good thing too?'' Said Molly.
''Excuse me, Mrs. Weasley… who do you think I am exactly?'' Said Ruma as two great owls came flying in and let two letters drop in front of her, then flew back out.
One was from the ministry, but she could not recognize the other's writings. She opened first the ministry letter.
Mrs. Ruma Vulken Black,
You are asked to respond immediately to the ministry to take your Wizengamot seats for trials are being held this afternoon at 14:00 pm exactly. You must take this letter with you and the credentials on the other page. We also have been made aware of your new status and demand explanation.
Minister for magic Millicent Bagnold
Ruma sighed wearily and opened the second one. With the first words, she knew it was from Gellert, written by one of his childe present in Britain.
Little bird,
Our project has failed with the No-Majs. What happened to Seth? Anton will be at the ministry so you can talk to me.
G. G.
''Someone Dumbledore trusts enough to be a professor.'' Said Molly once Ruma was done reading the letters.
Ruma swallowed hard. Molly knew nothing, nor did Dumbledore, about the horrors going on in America. She once believed it was for the good of the wizards and vampires. Depending on how exactly the Triunes had failed, she would have to intervein as vampire queen, and she was very far of being able to do it.
Another bird came flying in and Ruma gasped in surprise as it was her falcon Mischief.
''Mischief! So good to see you.'' Exclaimed Ruma.
The falcon had a letter attached to his foot. She was surprised she had even made all the way to here. She removed the letter and opened it.
Ruma,
Seth is not dead but stuck in another realm. I have spoken with his parents, and it seems the enchantment he once bore on his shoulder protected him, but in a different way it was supposed to. His fate is linked to Voldemort, and I shall explain more when we see each other later today. Take good care of yourself.
Corban.
After she had seen how Seth had disappeared, she knew his 'death' was not quite right, and now Corban confirmed it. She could not at first even believe he would be really gone. She felt a bit lighter, but the prospect of Seth being linked to Voldemort's fate angered her. She took the letters from Corban and Gellert and burned them between her fingers wandlessly.
''Woahh! Can you teach me how to do that?'' Asked Charlie as he came to sit by the table.
''NO! You are way too young, and this is dangerous.'' Said Molly to her son, then addressed Ruma. ''Charlie loves fire, and you should not have done this in front of kids. I hope you had a good reason to destroy those letters.''
''I'm sorry, I did not think. This breakfast was delicious, Mrs. Weasley. Thank you for what you did for me.'' Said Ruma, taking the letter from the ministry and standing up. ''Mischief, go back to Egypt, or perhaps Hogwarts?'' Said Ruma as she projected images into the falcon's mind.
Mischief chirped and flew away.
''It was my pleasure.'' Said Molly.
Ruma apparated away.
''She did not answer you, mom.'' Said Charlie.
''Nope, she did not.'' Answered Molly.
OoOoO
Vulken's manor, Egypt, 10:00 am
A tense silence was in the office. Corban was looking out of the window, arms crossed. Nathaniel was sitting by his desk and in front was Dumbledore. The Headmaster had told them Ruma had a crown on her head, believing she was now the vampire queen.
''You better tell me a very good reason why my son is gone.'' Said Nathaniel dryly. ''And I want to hear the whole prophecy.''
''How…'' Began Albus before glancing at Corban briefly. ''… are you aware of that?''
Corban growled.
''Maybe you should tell him, Corban. It might just loosen his tongue.'' Said Nathaniel.
Corban walked to Dumbledore and grabbed the chair's armrests and turned the chair towards him, so Albus was facing him. Corban's eyes had turned black as he spoke to him.
''The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord, thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. WHAT'S THE SECOND PART OF IT? SETH IS GONE BECAUSE OF IT!'' Screamed Corban in anger, fangs bared.
''You are a vampire. Seth's childe, I am sure.'' Said Albus calmly.
Corban growled again. His voice went down to a whisper.
''I can take that memory out of you forcefully, Dumbledore. You are only alive because of him, remember that.'' Threatened Corban.
Dumbledore's wand was warm in his hand, ready to cast curses. He knew the old vampire observing them would not hesitate to kill him if he did anything and so he took a deep breath and thought fast. Corban was not a deatheater, or at least, not anymore. He was Seth's lover and if he was really his childe, he most likely had his magic, just like Gellert. What was he supposed to do? He suddenly felt an intrusion in his mind, which he blocked promptly. Corban was a very skilled Legilimens.
''I'm waiting.'' Hissed Corban.
''It must never reach any other ears, no matter who they are, even the boy himself, should you ever encounter him.'' Said Albus.
Corban tsked.
''I don't know who you take me for, Headmaster. I have, for a very long time, ceased any relation other than formal to any deatheaters or Voldemort himself. I know things that would bring you shivers, that would dip your heart into sorrow, and bring you down into a barrel of helplessness. You would want, if you only knew, to do everything to bring Seth back.'' Assured Corban with fire in his eyes.
Now Dumbledore was curious at what Corban was talking about. The prophecy suddenly felt weak in exchange.
''The prophecy said that he would mark the boy as his equal and have a power the Dark Lord knows not. That was what, I assume, is Harry Potter's fate. As for Seth, I'm afraid the first part only concerned him, meaning he has the power to defeat Voldemort, but nothing else was said about him. Has he defied Voldemort in the past?'' Said Dumbledore.
Corban let go of the armrests then went back to the window.
''Yes, he did. Once where I almost died because of Voldemort's torture. The other one I am aware of is right before the attempted murder of the boy, since Seth does not tolerate the deaths of any magical children. If you do remember the book, the first law, he holds sacred.'' Said Corban.
Corban saw an owl coming towards the window and he opened it to let it in. The owl went to Dumbledore and dropped a letter before going back out. He opened the letter and began to read it. Corban saw Dumbledore's facial expression change and he paled as more and more he read. He used his legilimency on the Headmaster as he seemed distraught and was able to catch the words 'Triune' and 'Grindelwald'.
''Who is this from to cause you such disarray, Dumbledore?'' Asked Nathaniel.
''I… I will see you at the ministry, Mr. Yaxley. Thank you for your time, Mr. Vulken.'' Said Dumbledore as he made his way out to apparate in the hall.
''Seems like Gellert will be in trouble now that Dumbledore is aware of the Triunes. I wonder from who he received that letter.'' Said Corban.
''I am not as much aware of what Gellert had been working on when he was here, but if it makes the vampires in danger of anything and I get involved, then I promise another war. You and Ruma better make it right. Losing my son was the last thing that could have happened to me.'' Said Nathaniel.
OoOoO
Ministry's courtroom, 13:40 pm
Ruma apparated in the ministry's hallway where dozens of wizards circulated, half-running. Their moods seemed joyful. She could hear bribes of conversation about captured deatheaters and the horrors they had done. She even heard that Lucius Malfoy had been cleared, claiming he had been imperiused. Ruma rolled her eyes for she knew there was nobody more clever and sneakier than him. She went to grab a newspaper from the pile near the entrance, turning the pages quickly. She saw that almost all deatheaters had been caught, mostly by Alastor Maugrey, having assaulted Lestrange's manor shortly after Voldemort's defeat. Some were dead, others still on the run.
What she read next made her breakfast come back in her mouth: Two aurors had been tortured by the cruciatus curse and were now permanently at Saint-Mungo's hospital for they could no longer recognize reality. The memory of her doing the same thing to a muggle came back to haunt her, but also the pleasure she had felt while doing it. She took several deep breaths then made her way to the courtroom, following the directions marked on the wall.
After going out of the elevator, she walked the halls where she saw the entrance to the department of mysteries, and she continued to see four aurors standing by the entrance of the courtroom. They stopped her of going any further.
''Who are you, and what is your business here?'' Asked one.
She brought out the credentials with her wand and gave them to him.
''My name is Ruma Vulken Black, holder of two Wizengamot seats and Q… Queen of the vampires.'' Said Ruma, trying to look confident, but had failed miserably.
Three of them laughed, the one holding her papers did not.
''Shut your mouths, everything on this paper says so, and she is there for that.'' He said.
''Pff, I would believe the first part, but if she is a vampire, then I'm Godric Gryffindor.'' Said one of the auror.
She took back her papers and held her head high.
''I never said I was a vampire, but I still hold the title.'' Said Ruma.
Anton, who had probably heard the conversation appeared from the courtroom, then placed a hand over his heart before bowing.
''Nin Rîs. Dilthen ae.'' Said Anton.
''What did you just say, Anton?'' Said the auror.
Anton did a wicked smile then went close to the auror, placing a finger on his cheek. The auror gasped and hit his hand away.
''I called her my Queen, Franky.'' Said Anton before sticking out his tongue.
''Ugh, you are disgusting, get in and don't do that again.'' Said Francis.
Another wizard of the Wizengamot passed beside them and entered the courtroom. Ruma sighed and grabbed Anton's sleeve, pulling him inside the courtroom. Anton blew a kiss in the air at Francis, and the other aurors laughed.
Anton stopped her before they entered inside the inner part of the courtroom, where books, files and papers were scattered everywhere. She could see almost all of the Wizengamot present from where she stood.
''Madame Minister, the Queen Ruma Vulken has arrived.'' Said Anton.
''The Queen? Ah yes, come in. The questioning will begin shortly.'' Said Bagnold.
The questioning? Ruma entered and went to sit on the designated chair in the middle after looking around her and seeing Dumbledore, Corban, who had made a curt bow too, and multiple aurors she did recognize, like Maugrey. The director was Rufus Scrimgeour and he looked at her with a serious face, like many others. The conversations that had been going on ceased upon the sound of the gavel on the sound block. The doors of the courtroom closed after the four aurors had entered but stayed by the now closed door. Anton was walking slowly around keeping an eye on the dementors that were floating above everyone. Two Patronus, a dog and a lynx, were making a shield against them, preventing anyone from feeling their effects. For a reason, she thought that maybe Gellert almost controlled Anton, for she could recognise the few ticks and demeanor only Gellert had.
''Mrs. Vulken, we have been informed by the Warlock that you have been named the Vampire Queen. Can you please explain why it is the case? Where is Seth Vulken?'' Said Millicent.
Ruma swallowed as all the attention was on her, and she had to be careful into anything she says for she would never incriminate Seth into anything.
''Seth is incapacitated. He tried to protect the boy…'' Began Ruma.
''The boy? Do you mean the savior that destroyed You-Know-Who just two days ago?'' Asked Bagnold.
Ruma nodded.
''Vampires are… mostly neutral, that you very well know. For reasons I don't know, Seth was in Britain two days ago and somehow learned about what Vol… You-Know-Who was about to do, and he tried to stop him.'' Said Ruma.
''Why would the Vampire King try to save the Potters? Why were they more important than any other families targeted by that madman?'' Asked Bagnold.
''A prophecy… he felt concerned by that prophecy made for Harry Potter too.'' Said Ruma.
''Concerned how?'' Asked the minister.
''The fact that his first law came into play: Never harm, kill, sire, or feed off of a child. Seth has also defied him multiple times in the past and thought he should be the one to stop him too. When he went there, he too got the curse rebounded at him. He is not dead, but barely, and gravely wounded. He is under care at his home at Vulken's castle.'' Said Ruma as she looked at Corban who nodded, agreeing with her lie.
She heard Maugrey grumble, and a few others were whispering.
''And so, the burden of his specie went unto you? Why you and not a vampire? Why not Nathaniel, the previous King?'' Asked Millicent.
''Seth sired my mother, when I was born, to save her. I am a muggleborn, born on Vulken isle, and I was proclaimed the heir right there by the magic. Since Seth is unable to do his duties, it has befallen on me. I reluctantly wear this crown for I cannot remove it, but I will do what I must, since no other wizards know more about them than me, having been raised by them.'' Explained Ruma.
Millicent Bagnold whispered a few words to Rufus, then to Bartemius Crouch, where they nodded, and she hit the sound block with the gavel again.
''Thank you for this information, Mrs. Vulken Black. You are also required to take the seats now, if you so desire, for we will proceed with more deatheaters and criminals judgment right now. We recognize Seth Vulken being under your care, and should he need anything from the ministry, we will provide.'' Said the minister.
Ruma thanked her and went beside Corban who whispered to her in Venthyr, mentioning Dumbledore knew about the Triunes and Grindelwald, but he did not know to what extent since he did not get to know the contents of the letter Dumbledore received.
''Well, that is terrible news. I am sure we are not going to hear the end of it.'' Mumbled Ruma.
Anton who had been listening went closer to her. The minister asked for the aurors to bring a deatheater from Azkaban for questioning.
''Little bird. You must come back here. Bawgúl firens as Trino na- firn.'' Said Anton with a tick over his lip.
Ruma saw Anton winced which confirmed Gellert was using him more than just a mental link. But what he said gave her a chill in her spine. Would the USA become aware of the wizarding world sooner than supposed to? Were they prepared for it?
''Dár i, im lig ped- ti cin latae.'' Replied Ruma in Venthyr.
Anton, or Gellert, shook his head with a grin only Gellert was able to make, and continued to walk.
''Igor Karkaroff, you were brought here because you said you had names for us?'' Demanded Crouch.
''Uh… uh, yes. There is uh, Rosier… Evan Rosier.'' Said Karkaroff with a heavy accent.
Crouch asked for a paper from Rufus, then when he had it in hand, he mentioned Rosier's death. Ruma heard a comment from Maugrey, saying he had lost a part of his nose as he fought him.
''No, NO! There's uh, Snape! Severus Snape!'' Said Karkaroff more desperately.
How could he have known that? Dumbledore stood up and defended that Severus had stopped working for Voldemort prior to his defeat, and the Russian screamed even more.
''WAIIIT! SETH VULKEN! THE VAMPIRE! HE HAS A WOLF ANIMAGUS FORM! HE WAS TO ONE TO BRING THE GIANTS SEVERAL YEARS AGO ALONG WITH CORBAN YAXLEY AND THAT OTHER VAMPIRE DANYCK!'' Yelled Igor.
Silence fell in the courtroom. Ruma swallowed for she had not known Seth or Corban had done that, since she was only eleven at that time. Seeing no one was talking, the deatheater continued.
''He murdered aurors there, in France! The village that was burned…, leaving no one alive.'' Said Karkaroff.
People were looking at Corban, who seemed unphased, and Crouch cleared his throat before speaking.
''As much as I would believe your sayings, Karkaroff, those events you speak of happened eleven years ago and the village had since been rebuilt.'' Began Crouch as he took a paper from Rufus. ''There were indeed no survivors. Danyck is already dead, and Mr. Vulken is incapacitated. As for you claiming he would be an Animagus would mean he is more than a vampire, that he would be a wizard, which is impossible. Corban Yaxley was and remain a high-esteem ministry worker and…''
''Don't waste that precious saliva, Crouch.'' Said Corban as he stood up. ''You now know all deatheaters bear his mark on their arms, right? Every. Single. One. Of. Them.?'' Added Corban as he pulled his sleeves up which showed his barren forearms. ''I hope that will satisfy the ministry's curiosity. I may have been tempted in the past to join that man, until I realise what means he would take to get power. I admit I have fallen for someone else. Seth Vulken is my lover and I'm devastated by his predicament.'' Said Corban with a knot in his throat.
His emotions were real, his words true, and so the members of the Wizengamot believed him. Karkaroff yelled again in desperation.
''SILENCE! If you don't have any more names, you will return in your cell…'' Said Crouch.
''NOOO! There is Rookwood! Augustus Rookwood!'' Whined Karkaroff.
''From the department of mysteries?'' Asked Crouch.
''The very same! He relayed information directly from inside the ministry!'' Said Karkaroff.
Crouch whispered something to Rufus then cleared his throat again.
''He will be investigated. Anything else to add?'' Asked Crouch.
''I know of another one… just before I was brought here, they mentioned him. Someone that has helped with the torture of the Longbottoms by the means of the cruciatus curse… BARTEMIUS CROUCH! … Junior.'' Said Karkaroff with a grin where loud gasps were heard around the courtroom.
Said man was in the room and instead of not reacting, which could have caused doubts, Barty junior tried to flee but got stopped by a quick spell from Maugrey. He was brought in front of his father who was shocked beyond belief.
''You are no son of mine.'' Mumbled Crouch.
After the commotion had passed, that the courtroom session was done, and that everyone had left the room, Albus had asked Ruma for a talk. Corban and Anton went beside her, but so were Kingsley and Maugrey beside the Headmaster. They all stood beside the closed doors of the courtroom where privacy charms had been cast. The dementors had been sent back to Azkaban, escorting the newly accused deatheaters of the day.
''You have lied, Ruma.'' Said Albus with a serious face.
''I didn't see you say anything.'' Said Ruma.
''I have proof of Seth's Animagus form, and that he was involved in the destruction of the village in France.'' Said Albus.
''What do you want me to say, Dumbledore? I still did not see you show that proof you speak of to the minister.'' Said Ruma.
''What are you trying to do exactly?'' Asked Corban. ''We can't be in Azkaban, unless you want us to admit something so that you have a good reason to kill us?''
Maugrey hit his staff on the ground.
''That would be so convenient, HUH?'' Said Maugrey.
Corban growled and Ruma moved her hands up between them.
''I refuse to deal with hostility.'' Said Ruma.
Anton went in front of Albus, a little too close. When he spoke, his voice was distorted, mixed with Gellert's voice and it froze everyone in place.
''I have them all at my feet, Albus, just like it was supposed to be, all those years ago. Now that dear Tom is gone, but so is Seth… you think you can stop me now? I will not hesitate the next time we see each other.'' Anton's eyes went black. ''How many more lives are you willing to let die until then?'' Said Anton/Gellert before he fell on the ground.
Ruma gasped then went to him, taking him in her arms as she was kneeling on the ground and caressing his face. He had not heartbeat, but he still had the breathless movement of his chest, showing he was still 'Alive'.
''Oh Anton.'' Said Ruma softly.
''What was that about, Albus?'' Asked Kingsley.
''Seems like work is not done and we still have a Dark Lord in the open.'' Grunted Maugrey.
''You can't defeat him.'' Said Corban. ''Not with his alliance with him. They are just as ruthless as him, if not even more, ever since they became vampires.''
''Ruma can.'' Said Dumbledore. ''She is the Queen now.''
Ruma began to cry, shaking her head slowly.
''You… you can't ask me that.'' Said Ruma.
''Stupid girl, he's murdering people and you would just let him continue do as he want?'' Said Maugrey.
''Colpy.'' Said Ruma and her house-elf appeared beside her. ''Please bring Anton at the castle so he can rest.'' Colpy bowed low and disapparated with Anton.
Ruma stood up and wiped her eyes. She had a hard time controlling her emotions because of all the events arriving one after the other. She knew what she had to do something about Gellert, but it was not something she really wanted to do for she knew what the goal was, and she had been involved... too much involved. She took a deep breath before speaking and she stood straight, looking at the arrogant auror.
''This is more complicated than you think, Mr. Maugrey. Gellert Grindelwald is even older than Dumbledore, has done and seen things that surpasses even what Voldemort did. He sees things arriving before you even think about them yourself. Do you know what he wants to accomplish?'' Said Ruma.
''You worship the man.'' Said Kingsley.
''I…'' Ruma blushed.
''You don't have to say anything to them, nin Rîs.'' Said Corban.
''Remember what I asked you last year, Mrs. Vulken. Innocents are not supposed to be harmed.'' Said Dumbledore.
Ruma fumed inside.
''What is an innocent to you, Professor? I may not agree with Gellert's methods, but the muggles he targeted with Triunes are all twisted middle-aged men that deserve nothing less! They would kill us like animals! You included! Children!'' Said Ruma, digging her nails in her palms in anger.
''What do y…'' Began Kingsley.
''THE ONLY TIME I WENT INTO A COMPLETE MUGGLE AREA, I WAS ABDUCTED BY THEM AND RENDERED HELPLESS IN A MATTER OF SECONDS! ME! A WITCH! I WAS ALMOST RAPED BY THEM!'' Screamed Ruma.
Corban placed a hand on her back, and she flinched. He had not known that. Albus looked at Maugrey and Kingsley, appearing sorry for her. Ruma calmed down, then held Corban's hand.
''Ruma… I'm…'' Began Albus.
''I don't need your pity. Our views are different on the matter. I was at a concert with Gellert when it happened, but I went to the bathroom alone. That's where it happened, and of course, Gellert found me easily with this necklace.'' Said Ruma as she showed the gold necklace she wore. ''Once he knew I was not coming back, he tracked me. He showed me what muggles were capable of and they did not even know what I was.''
''Dark wizards can do just as worse!'' Grumbled Maugrey.
Ruma chuckled.
''Oh yes, they can. We have our own police for our own world, but when the time comes when 6000 muggles to one wizard decide that we don't belong, what are you going to do then, Mr. Maugrey? Continue to imprison and kill your own?'' Said Ruma.
Dumbledore pulled out a letter from his inner pocket and gave it to Ruma who took it with curiosity. The writing was desperate, scribbled with wet spots that could have been tears.
Albus,
I don't know where to turn to, you were not present at Hogwarts when this nightmare happened. I remember that I had been placed under the Imperius curse… so long ago. I do not remember by whom, but I remember that day when I was woken and something even more horrifying took place. I was bound by the head and held by two very strong person. The one that inserted something called a Triune in my mouth was named the Doctor and I believe the one that placed orders in my mind through it is Gellert Grindelwald. Can you even imagine something like that? I remember the Doctor saying I could be killed if I fought it, or attempted to remove it, but the feeling in my mouth is unbearable. I hope you can help me before I lose my mind again.
Emmeline Williams
The Zonko owner… She had asked Seth to Imperius her when she was eleven for her own needs. She gasped in horror, placing a hand over her mouth. She must have been the first wizard successfully Triuned, and the MACUSA had surely followed soon after. Dumbledore brought out something else from his pocket: a Triune, still glowing blue.
''She's fine if you were wondering.'' Said Albus dryly. ''But this… is beyond words at what he is doing, no matter what the goal is. If you decide that this is all for the greater good, then you know where my duties lie, Ruma. You stop him, or I bring down the vampires along with Seth.'' Added Albus with a serious face.
Corban's eyes went black as he stepped in front of Ruma as Kingsley brought out his wand, but Dumbledore had not.
''You want to risk the whole wizarding world for the only means he found to protect everyone with the less casualties he could?'' Said Corban, reflecting Ruma's own thoughts.
''It's wrong!'' Exclaimed Kingsley. ''It should have been from their own accord! This is domination of the mind!''
''They never cared for what was going on here as Voldemort was creating havoc everywhere in Britain. Why would you care for something that is happening on another continent? Everyone here is perfectly happy and dancing around for their savior!'' Growled Corban.
''Because he still feels guilty for not finishing off Gellert when he should have, and now he places that burden on me simply because I can end his life with one word.'' Said Ruma.
''One word?'' Asked Kingsley with confusion.
''The ruler of vampires have the utmost authority over every vampires and by his spoken words, they are compelled to obey him, or her, in every way.'' Informed Dumbledore.
''What? So, if she says 'Die', they just… die?'' Asked Maugrey.
''Wishing it could be that easy to deal with you, like he should have years ago, but you were… just sixteen.'' Hissed Corban.
A loud gong was heard as Ruma had brought out a primal shield in front of Corban, but Corban had already moved behind Maugrey.
''Dead. You'd be all dead within seconds. It would be so easy.'' Said Corban as they spun around to face Corban. ''And now you want to confront Gellert how he is right now? Ruma is young… too young to rule a specie that lives on this world for eternity. There are a few among Gellert's followers that don't like Ruma. Even if she has the sacred vampire words upon her tongue, she will need to approach them in complete surprise. But not only that.'' Said Corban as his eyes drifted to Ruma. ''She has feelings for him. Can you blame her, Dumbledore?''
Ruma looked down, then realised something.
''If Emmeline remembers everything… then, the whole MACUSA does too.'' Said Ruma.
Author's note: Sweet, another one done! Next is Gellert's imprisonment! Back to Nurmengard, you evil thing nyuk nyuk nyuk.
