A/N Aren't you all lucky readers? Two updates in one day, granted that this chapter is a bit shorter than the others but hey I was inspired. Don't get used to getting two chapters a day though ;-) I was just sitting at work with nothing to do so I thought I'd type another chapter.
Chapter 22The trio waited for the arrival of mad eye, Tonks, Kingsley and Dumbledore; fortunately they didn't have to wait long at all. About five minutes after their arrival (they had already disillusioned themselves and removed the cloak) Dumbledore arrived.
"Good Morning Cornelius"
"Morning Albus what can I do for you?"
"I'm afraid Cornelius that I have received reliable intelligence that a ministry employee is working for Voldemort" Dumbledore said trying not to roll his eyes as the Minister flinched at the Dark Lord's name.
"Really Albus? That is absolutely shocking. May I ask as to who the employee " the minister asked
"Yes, but may I suggest you get mad eye and a couple of aurors up here." Following that statement from the Headmaster, Fudge fire called for mad eye and two aurors of his choice to get there now.
After the three new additions were seated comfortable and all the pleasantries exchanged Dumbledore began to explain the situation.
"Now as you all know Harry Potter and Voldemort are linked by the curse scar on his forehead. What you may or may not know is that this link always each of them to see from the other's perspective. Which is how I have gained the information that someone in the ministry is working for Voldemort. This morning, whilst enjoying a broom ride Harry had one of these err… experiences. Anyway he observed a death eater meeting in progress. During this meeting he says Voldemort explained to the gathered death eaters that one of those present had failed in their mission of spying on Harry and myself. Voldemort allowed the death eater in question to confess his failure and when he begged for forgiveness he used the crucatious curse on him, and spoke to him and named that death eater. It is with this evidence that I must ask Cornelius Fudge to show us his arms and I petition for the Minister to be questioned under veritiseum. Sherbet Lemon anyone?" At the last comment Harry had to stifle a laugh as Dumbledore had offered the sweet as though nothing was wrong. It took a moment for his words to sink in before the minister was on his feet bellowing orders.
"Shacklebolt I want this man arrested for treason he is trying to drag my reputation through the mud all he is interested in is the position he lost out on years ago. Well don't just sit there bind him, take away his wand"
"Cornelius you may take anything you want from me, I only ask for three things in return, one, do not remove me from the chocolate frog cards, two show us your arms and three don't take my sherbet lemons away from me." Dumbledore said holding on to his tin of the boiled sweets.
"Wha…how… Tonks? Shacklebolt?"
"Fudge sit down, you already know you've been found out and now I know to look there I can see through your robes and tacky first year level concealment charm. I am going to have to relieve you of your duties. Tonks, Kingsley take away his wand and his appearance on chocolate frog cards and take him to Azkaban. Please" Mad eye growled, his eye flicked over to where the trio were standing as Harry cast legitimas and the silver light enveloped the soon to be ex minister
"You…you can't take me I wont let you the public wont let my master wont let you he needs me see he needs me I keep my fellow death eaters out of Azkaban and embezzle funds from the hunt of the Dark Lord in to funding his operations. You'll see I won't be there for long" Horrified at what he had just said fudge clasped one hand over his mouth as the other moved to his wand "I'm afraid I am going to have to wipe your memories" he finished, the trio removed the charm and all had their wands pointing at fudge, "I don't think so" they said as one and Hermione summoned his wand from him and halfway through the air banished it towards Mad eye. "Here you are sir," she said.
"Ta Miss Granger now what are you three doing here?" he questioned as he put the wand in a special evidence bag.
"We came to watch the show," Harry said off handily
"Yeah we wouldn't want to miss this" Ron agreed
"We'll just go now, bye sirs bye Tonks" Hermione said as the boys chorused bye to everyone before walking out to the main area.
"That was great come on if we leave now we might get back before Dumbledore and then we can tell the order members to gather in the office for him." Harry said as he transformed and fire travelled back to Hogwarts landing in the Transfiguration Room in front of a surprised McGonagall.
"What is going on here?" she demanded
"Sorry professor headmaster Dumbledore wants an order meeting in his office to discuss the soon to be ex minister and current death eater." Harry said
"Fudge a death eater? No."
"He is professor he confessed to it. Could you contact those outside of Hogwarts and we will gather the remaining staff for you." Hermione said. After McGonagall nodded the trio separated and went to find the necessary staff.
