Chapter 31: Medical Considerations And Further School Changes VI
Hogwarts Tours And Story Rewrites Continued:
"This year is a try and trust, but Harry made other friends and is not always seen with you, if the quartet join us in the dorms now in truth, he sits with us, he hangs around with us. As he's not all the Gryffindor golden boy, as you get revealed to be a traitor against our government. But some friends you are, to get out of our shadow, or to get a position, to be seen, you sold out, you struck rock bottom, there is no where to go, but up." Fred said and they paled then.
"Indeed, there is no where left to go but up, but Daphne gets the badge, if she gets the prefect position, Harry with her now, you don't deserve it, or the head-girl position. While you, you want to be seen, actually put the effort into it now." Minerva said sternly and they paled. "But lets just see what happens now, because I heard this talk from Daniel after he revealed his intention. And to have Jack O'neill pay for his plans to kill him." Patrick said and they swallowed hard then.
"Alright I heard enough and thank you for that reveal now, boys." Alan said gently and Maggie nodded sternly. "Alright so this book was a quiet year, the following was the tournament, and you switched schools and joined the Auror's academy. As Dora comes back into the picture, the quartet and your team as well as 20 other students come with you. While year 5, my current book, aside from killing the snake, you're keeping a low profile." Rowling said and I nodded.
"Dora's the oldest of us cubs, with Percy right behind her, the twins, Ginny, Sarah, Angel, Alicia, Katie, Oliver, Rachel, Rick and Brandon, Daphne, Millie, Tracy, Neville, Susan. Colin, Dennis, Nigal, Justin, Ernie, Hannah, Terry, Jack, and of course Draco, and Luna, but that's our 30. And I'm the chosen one, so stand alone." I said and she wrote that down for the next movie then. "Yes okay, so 1st year to 8th in academy candidates." Moody said, smiling at the chosen then.
In selection coming from the academy and Kingsley put his hand on my shoulder, smiling. "We had this on hand, just in case the headmaster hijacks the tournament with Karkaroff. And Junior with him right now, but employing a death eater, masquerading as the latest D.A. professor. This just shot the headmaster's reputation even more then it is already." I said and they nodded. "So no more adventures, all the following 3 years are all quiet?" Rowling said, to clarify gently.
"Exactly, no more adventures, year 6 is a quiet year as we wait for the ring to finish him off." I said and she nodded as Dumbledore started shaking, realizing I wanted him dead. "And by him you mean the headmaster, he's dying and you're, as soon as said mission. Over whatever it is comes to an end, having Severus finish him, that's Albus, off as the war ends. And as soon as it ends, before it begins, and Rufus begins the arrests now." she said and Scrimgeour nodded.
"Your question got revamped, but by then here, it's because it's like every time something happens he's always in the castle, so remove him, what happens?" I asked and she nodded gently then. "And things are completely quiet, that necklace or whatever was hexed, so that and instead of Draco being blamed, for both that and poisoned brandy. It's the headmaster now, I get it, as this now results in attempted murder charges." Maggie said and Alan nodded sternly.
"She also gets caught cheating in quidditch as that is the twins final year now, so with that in mind now, we all turned on him, as I killed Riddle already at the ministry. After killing the snake and now the only thing left is the headmaster, as he destroyed the ring now. So now what exactly here." I asked and the cast nodded as Alan hold up said book and I nodded. "Making a mockery of a legend, as the wizard that fell from grace." Rowling said and Dumbledore paled.
"While book 7, is the side effects, he's been poisoning everyone with love and loyalty potions, and the point becomes clear after these two try to come along if the books follow through. He left because he's in withdrawal, and she's fighting the urge to leave as well." Severus said and she nodded. "Yeah that's like the damn sarcophagus, force him to come back by being irritable and violent, but no, not going to happen." Frakes said and we nodded sternly to that remark.
"Well with Severus and you bonded this tightly, then book 7 is all clones and everyone's faking it." she said and they nodded. "Alright, well back on this, with knowing what to expect, with you being the same age as Heydon when he and Katie met and found each other. It's knowing your body is battered and exhausted, before we get you in bed to rest now. That knowing until you're out of the woods and with it, with said cold or you caught the flu, you're contagious here."
"Said to your peers, so we're keeping you in a wizard version of the emergency room for a few weeks and then the main. Yes, alright, you said 10 more, before what seemed to a mortal was pneumonia to a wizard. That his soul was pure evil, you're pure good, the strongest source of good there is, and your body. It was treating his soul like a disease, as my love, it was helping to strengthen the good in you, but me it was love of a family now, my character's your family."
"As now that you can't stay awake much longer we took care of this, as you got the first real sleep you had in months now." Maggie said sternly as she watched her check me out, before seeing a bucket of ice cubes and them putting me in the bathtub as she stroked my hair back. 'It's okay baby, you'll be okay, but no more of this, after the next stunt, you scared me one too many times now.' we heard and I nodded to the request and as he said it gently.
'Not tired, cub not tired, no nap, cub not tired.' We heard in response and she hid a smile as Ben shook his head. "We got a 4 year old trapped in a near 12 year old body here, but cub just worked himself into exhaustion." Jeff said to that as they exchanged looks. "Nice try cub, you need to sleep this off, so bedtime for you now, but yes you're my cub. But it's the den for you now." she said and we heard a purring growl from me in response then.
"Little lion, but yeah, cub." Peter said with a chuckle and Spreckley nodded with a smile. "Baby was that really necessary right now?" Minerva asked and we heard a second come out of me in response and she smiled. "If we were cats, that's you giving a meow at me and I answer that with a maternal meow and you give me a kitten sized meow in response. But if we were cats you're no older then Crookshanks, Norris is no older then me." she said and I nodded smiling.
As she stroked her hand through my hair. "Still a little boy, you got 4 years before you really need to grow up, but 5th year now. Means, cubs, that the door has shut on childhood, and leading to high school, you're now teenagers in your second to mid teens now." she said and we all nodded. "Kids stay clear of the headmaster, everything decided comes through me, but I think that the Sorting hat is putting you three back with me." she said and I nodded gently.
"Like Gary's older sister considered here right now, Corey is very impressionable little boy, well the same could be said for Harry, Harry's a very impressionable little boy. Just seeing passed the impressions in how we see not everything is all black and white right now. Said fatal mistake, just crippled the headmaster's planning, only Harry never lost his ability to walk. But then there's more to these kids then whatever not ability now." Whoopi said and Patrick nodded.
"That's my counterpart, Gary Busey, he did a few films, one was a cub baseball movie, this one being referred to was said horror writer with the boggart." Gary said and Minerva nodded. "On werewolves, do you guys phase only at the full moon or all the time, between phases?" I asked and he smiled. "I take it that's the name of the book, Cycle Of The Werewolf?" he asked and I nodded. "We don't following the phases of the moon, just full moons." he said and I nodded.
"Yeah that, and you know I'm never listening to him again." I said and Minerva nodded. "As for this well high school is when the manes start growing in, in the male side of Gryffindor. At the moment, I'm no older then Simba, before Scar killed his father." I said and the actors nodded gently. "Like I said, Cub, but you, baby, you got to take it down a few notches." Maggie said and I nodded as Minerva left her hand on my shoulder smiling and I smiled gently at the remark.
"Yeah he comes back for real after you destroyed them all in the anchors, and we're going to kill him, I love you like a baby brother, little mate." Peter said and Daniel smiled gently. "In seeing passed the title, now, you saw the real me and as a result, you knew this. Though I hate my title and popularity, I use it to deal with the Death Eaters now, so said stab in the arm. You know I just killed the bloody snake after seeing my sword covered in blood, while for my arm now."
"After waiting a few minutes now, though there was a burn mark in my robes, you knew the one inside me was destroyed." I said and he nodded as Spreckley sighed. "Like we said after that, too reckless, so enough already." he said and Maggie nodded. "Got worse, Dave decided to train Bonnie with me in the patronus, so what makes Bonnie happy exactly." I asked and she smiled as Bonnie smiled as Daniel hugged her and she left her head against his chest as he hold her.
"She's happy when she's with you, and instead of going it alone, you bring her with you to the academy, but prior with Tim on the run right now. It's you're spending time with her, while being big brother to Hugh." she said and I nodded. "Before back with you again, but Cedric was a clone, and you erased the memory from my mind. To you, you only have his, Michael's, word, based on my delirious ranting, after being bit by the spider and crucioed twice at the time."
"They never came out into the open, so why worry about it?" I asked and the cast playing the ministry nodded with a gentle smile. "Like year 3, though your dreams are something to worry about, we're not feeding any bad wolves. And pretend everything's fine and this is Robert's last year of school, before he leaves, as we get a real rematch." she said and I nodded. "Exactly, that's the change up, as for you and me, our relationship here, in truth after 2.5 years of it."
"Is it any wonder we understand these things, since we studied history, before your characters are now trapped in the past of 130 years, before now?" I asked her and she shook her head. "No, but it makes sense, since I was playing your teacher baby." she said and I smiled at her. "And though a little strict, takes only a few weeks and by then we see you as mother and to us, as your cubs, can't do anything to disappoint you now." I said and our doubles looked down.
"Because you had one of us, and as soon as Aunt Cissy divorces his father, he changed immediately, and he's now my best friend, but what one change here. Causes is amazing, you lost a peer in your new title, and now he's one of us, as the top members of the school now." I said and they all paled at that remark. "But the first game between us is the big one, every year the first game of the season is always between Gryffindor and Slytherin, and every year now."
"You always get the house or quidditch cup, but after I arrive, you're running a severe case of bad luck, as after I arrive, the days of you picking on us. Are now over, as you, as the Pure-blood Slytherins die, and we become a new class leader, before we pass that house cup trophy to someone who deserves it. And just as much finally, so though we won the Quidditch cup, the house cup and the eternal glory goes to the Hufflepuffs finally." I said and they swallowed.
"But your time is over and we begin, while the Huffepuffs get their chance finally, but starting now, any bullying is now going to get whoever does it. A week's worth of detentions, loss of points by 25 each, is that clear?" I said and the First year Slytherins nodded shaking. "And I hear use of that word now, you're getting double and don't think I will from my house, understood." Severus said and they nodded, shaking, at that news.
"What you say about that again, her mother was serious about that?" Andy asked and I nodded. "What one remark spoken in anger can result in, right now, so watch what you say or you're going to regret that for the rest of your life." Mione said for me and she and the others nodded. "Case in point is my sister and me, and I regretted that fight ever since, I lost my sister because of this." Petunia said and they nodded to us then gently.
"Well that was a fatal mistake when we were kids here, we trusted the wrong person and it destroys both our lives Petunia. But it's not your fault and it was never me or Sirius, it's Peter, it always was." Severus said to her and she nodded as he gently squeezed her shoulder and she smiled. "One heck of a lesson, but moral of said story, watch what you say in anger or you're going to regret it for life." Whoopi said and Maggie nodded then.
"And Mary would say the same, but the 3 of us would understand this better then anyone considering our characters right now, but you're a neophyte and we're playing real ones." Kathy said to her in response and Whoopi nodded. "Well my demeanor is my persona as a nun, mixed into the stern-ness of being the head of a dormitory. And a teacher right now, so that helps, only instead of you three as the youngest of my students here."
"I'm doing a repeater of part 2, when I recalled you, when we were teachers, honey." Maggie said to her and Whoopi nodded in agreement to that. "That pretty much sums this up right now, but I'm surrounded by teenagers day in and day out right now. When I was with Billy and his team, well the age just got shoved back 5 to 6 years here now. The kids are our main charges now here." she said and she nodded gently at that remark.
"But 1) we're playing witches this time and 2) we're teachers, so anyone that starts that again with the attitude right now, you're in big trouble here." She said sternly and our doubles nodded quickly to her. "This is going to be a long 7 to 10 years together." Daniel said and she nodded as she ran her hand through his hair. "Yes and after this year, you're used to this with us now, baby." she said and he nodded as he smiled at her gently then.
"Well year 1 is always the opening right now, but next movie we've gotten used to always being around you guys now, but anyone expecting trouble here?" Emma asked and she nodded. "I am once Jason comes into the picture and with him, Tim and the man playing Karkaroff, love." she said and the three of us nodded in agreement. "Like I said, Jason never needed a reason to turn to darkside." Mark said, crossing his arms at this sternly.
"And frankly neither did Hugo or Chris right now, but this is getting ridiculous at the moment." she said in response at that remark. "That's Christopher Lee, he plays two characters that went to the darkside, one being a Jedi, that's a wizard of light magic, turned Death Eater. And is the third person responsible for my adult counterpart to turn to the darkside. The other was an ex wizard who went to the darkside and joined forces with that story persona of Riddle right now."
"So that's why Maggie said that, these guys put the death in death eater." I said and the entire group nodded. "The other character she mentioned, his name is Hugo Weaving, he played an elf warrior in this story trilogy, before playing a machine agent determined. Here now, to kill that story-line's version to me, because he was meant to destroy his race and free humans." I said and the faculty nodded as I passed them the Lord of the rings trilogy and they nodded gently.
"These guys when they turn on the evil actor persona, you got a big reason to hate these characters now." I said and they all nodded. "Alright guys, we can go into this at a later time, but can we get on with this right now. So we know what we're changing for our appearance as we're coming in at the next shot and they start school that night." Alan said and they both nodded as she refocused as our doubles hid a smile at that.
"Nice change of subject, Alan." Gary said and that did it as Ron and Rupert started laughing at that remark. "Alright laugh it up cub, come on." Alan added to his version as Severus looked at us and we nodded as the twins pulled themselves together, as he left his arms around Mione and me and I leaned against his side gently at that. " Okay, okay, so money and time frame, what next?" Poppy asked and Charity and Minerva nodded.
"So that's monetary values, how about medical what was that like from 1855 to 1930?" Charity asked and I explained that to her. "Hold on baby, when we were creating the replicators, Billy created a mixture of the first aid kits of your time and before that. Before we got out of the need to use cloth for bandages right now, and not gauze." Gates told me and I nodded as Frakes put a case the size of small suitcase on the table.
"Whoa, so this was your fast medical care before the healers took over?" Ron asked and we nodded. "Yeah what we call first aid, it's meant to help till we get the injured person to the healer or mediwitch." Justin told him and he nodded. "Thick head, where is your brain exactly, you were playing with fire by doing that before the moon came out." Dean said in annoyance and Mione tried to keep from laughing at that remark gently.
"Yeah that's an understatement." Penny said sternly and I nodded. "So what's the reason for that remark exactly?" Minerva asked and I ran my hand through my hair. "There were two involved here, but you ever hear of a mental hospital, back in the 18 to 1900's. They called it a sanitarium?" I asked and the purebloods all nodded to me. "Well back then they considered lycanthropy a mental illness, thinking that being a wolf was all inside the werewolves's minds."
"Hugo's psychiatric counterpart, he, that's Hugo, was part of Scotland Yard now, but the Doctor actually tried to debunk this theory the night of the full moon. Halfway through the lecture, the moon came out and he started changing as everyone in the room got a front row seat. Knowing werewolves are real now, but finally getting the psychiatrist to turn around. As he reached the stage Remus had when Severus went into the tree, but out of panic, they blocked the door."
"No way out, massacre." Billy said and she nodded as everyone grimaced at that as Kingsley shook his head to get the image out of his mind. "And there's a memory I don't need William, it was close enough already, before James got me out of the tree." Severus said and he nodded. "Just starting high school if Professor Slughorn is reactivating we have him and you train the younger grades now." he said and he nodded. "Nice idea, Horace?" Aggie said and he nodded.
"For this, during this movie, or biography, it wasn't until Hirsch actually connected the dots that he realized his nightmares were getting worse. In the case of Kessler, realizing everyone up in Lilkley believed that Goodman was killed by a werewolf. Then why wouldn't Kessler, before he realized what this meant, 1981, no potion, we had a wolf in London. And said had no potion, fortunately everyone killed was a clone now." I said and they nodded, before the realization hit.
"Oh Merlin, no potion, he's had a blackout." Fudge said in realization and I nodded. "Yeah, but the trio tried to warn him and Goodman, stay off the moors, stick to the road. And beware the moon, I think it was a trio of muggleborns, but based on the way they said it on the movie. It means we still got a string of werewolves, only the French kind look a mutant bear." I said and they nodded. "And that was 16 years after the first, the potion." Penny said and they nodded.
"Lilkley, that must be Kimberly Randolph, David Redford and Edward Jamison." Crouch said and I nodded. "Think so right now, but if Kessler chose to stay in London, he decided on a urban version to the tree outside, the Doctor. He has been keeping him caged during the week, every month and they been doing this for 19 years, but the ability went into his daughter." I said and they nodded. "Well I think we can help him out now with that." Amos said gently that news.
"Anyone else thinking this, we get in with the wolves here, so we get rid of Peter and we stop him, as he's stuck like that forever now?" I asked and my entire junior order nodded to me. "As for Talbot, that's like putting a wolf amongst the sheep, it's no bloody wonder here right now. In why they caged themselves, that's the people of the settlement colony Daniel joined. And while the wolves ran free, trying to hunt her down." Billy said and I nodded and we exchanged looks.
"You thinking what I'm thinking though?" I asked and they nodded. "Yeah we lock ourselves into the infirmary or in here, and let him roam the castle, him and his pack. No potion, we're doing this the way Daniel had planned, we do the same thing, we cage ourselves and let them roam." she said and Billy nodded in agreement to that remark. "Agreed, we need re-enforcements, so we muggles and wizards cage ourselves, and let the wolves roam." he said and I nodded then.
"Professor, there is a way, but this means something you normally would never consider, being the head of the academy." Dora said in realization and Moody nodded sternly. "I see where this is going young lady, Harold, but in order for it to work, it means practicing. And for the next two years and potioned, before putting it to the test without the potion now. And as we work out the kinks now, till we got it worked out and no damage." he said to us sternly and Remus nodded.
"Piccadilly circus is what I have in mind here right now, if they never catch him well at least we know we scared him off, but it's just one year. And everyone out when the guys are, are all clones, the originals are safely indoors and the door is locked." I said and the adult muggleborns flinched at that remark. "Oh god, when the cop that he tried to get him to arrest him that morning, saw the carnage, saw him and booked?" Jeffrey said and I nodded to him at that.
"Jeffrey?" Poppy asked and he ran his hand through his hair. "David walked right into a theater, watching the movie, before forgetting that these full moon rounds are 7 days, it was day two. So in the middle of the movie he started changing, telling the usher to run and now here. Before his transformation was complete, the clerk and secondary usher heard a scream and the second. He came to investigate and he killed him, before the cop, who never took him seriously came up.
"And with him a second cop as they came running, as she told him there was a wild wolf, he went to investigate, saw the carnage, saw him and slammed the door. And as they tried to keep him contained as 30 more cops came running to brace the door. As Mr. Diggory said, as they tried to clear a path…" Billy said and they nodded. "Would you people get out of the way, we're trying to keep who, or whatever, this is contained here!" Amos snapped and I nodded to him.
"Before, just as the inspector arrived he broke through the barrier and took the inspector's head off, before a rampage in the square, but this caused more traffic accidents then ever. Seeing a beyond dangerous monster rampaging in downtown London, as the doctor got his wish." Kristine said and they nodded. "We need to talk to the cloning department and clone everyone that would be killed for a second time, if they're out when on a full moon." I said and Crouch nodded.
"Excessive use of cloning that entire year in year 3, that's 16 months and young man you're not being outside, when that happens as one of the trio we got posted to London. They have your neighborhood, before we relocate you to London now." Scrimgeour said sternly and I nodded. "Well the idea here now, is based on this book, Artemis had the power to turn her hunters into human versions of werewolves, on the night of the full moon." I said and they nodded gently.
"It was on this planet Daniel and SG-1 ended up on and Daniel, Sam and Keller, got turned into hunters, before, after deciding to use the plant one of their scope outs gave them. They freed themselves, from the infliction and ripped her out of her host, but the leader of a pack in black. That's black robes had their wolf side take total hold, they were hunting her down killing her, but these people are humanoid werewolves, their families are sheep, so the sheep lock themselves."
"I mean lock themselves up, and let the wolves roam free, that's the intention here, all that year the clones are people outside the cage, the originals are caged and the wolves roam free." I said and they nodded to the idea as Crouch read the book on that part then, as he read it. In Daniel's piece to it and smiled, as he saw the true hero Daniel was and nodded. In why I looked up to him. "This is the intention, these men are bounty." he said and we nodded gently to him.
"Yeah, we created clones for this reason exactly, everyone that died was a clone in these wolf attacks, but that year, we're going to the Muggle cloning department and asking them. Now, to clone everyone that would be killed for the next 16 months, so whoever's out there. At the same time the guys are now, are facing being eaten, with them having a black out. While the originals are safely indoors and the doors are locked, but the sheep are caged here and wolves roam."
"As Peter is facing Remus, only Remus x's 62, and David would agree with this immediately to protect me, I'm Shadow's cub, so to Shadow, no choice necessary. Come near my cub, and you're being torn apart." I said and he nodded. "It's risky, but we'd have to practice the next 2 years till we get all the kinks, all the ways it could go wrong worked out." Amos said and Crouch and Fudge nodded. "But in the end it will be worth it." Fudge said smiling sternly to my idea.
"What's this about baby, what are you thinking exactly, regarding book 3 now?" Minerva asked and I sighed. "Grandma, what's your opinion that instead of dementors, we leave 15 aurors and 4 werewolves on protection duty, only instead of being like normal. No potion and we take extra precautions, like you did when Remus was a cub still?" I asked and she nodded. "I see that as a very good idea, we got you plenty of auror protection, and we got Remus and his pack on duty."
"We just pretend it's a normal year, and you're protected, what else?" she asked me gently then. "Something that the headmaster would see is not necessary in his planning to execute me at the right time, but in truth here now, Grandma. Sirs, what would you say to making an alliance with the werewolves, and turn them into bounty hunters. This is a key thing in the muggle world now, but supernatural creature army, is the biggest weapon we have against renegades now."
"To catch Peter, so we do this, and to repeat it, it's his destiny, and even Peter Pettigrew can't escape his destiny, to die now. He's dying, so we speed up the process, because we do this and the originals live, from you. To Bertha, Frank, Cedric and dad right now, we erase his key ingredient and everyone. Everyone that died is alive now, but the 7 of you, the Professor, the Lupins, Fred, Ted, Colin, Lavender and everyone else." I said and Crouch nodded sternly then.
"Well if we get the Renfield pack involved and there's 60 of them, plus Kessler and Remus himself, 31 do Scotland up to the Arctic border, the others do England." Amos said and Crouch nodded. "So we got 4 wolves prowling the school grounds, plus 15 aurors, that's plenty protection for you in year 3." Amelia said and Crouch nodded to her opinion. "And the damn things are searching the train, so we got them at the halfway point." Fudge said to that opinion.
"As such here, and I know what's coming here in this conversation, but you want them non potioned, it's risky, but it's going to be worth it in the long run." he said and I nodded. " If the howling is anything like we hear on tv get out of the moors and get inside, now." I said and the other muggleborns nodded in stern agreement. "That or just the subway system, don't ask questions, just go." Justin said sternly and I nodded. "Us too." Dean and I said together then.
"Subway?" Arthur asked and I nodded. "Underground train system, it's local." I said and he nodded gently. "Remember when we mentioned said fight on the train, and after the babysitter got into the face of the gang leader?" Dean asked and he nodded. "Well the fight, near fatal fight between these gangs are on a underground subway train, but said had the tendency. Just to go elevated, which is what the Americans call it, the EL train, Elevated." Sarah said and he nodded.
"Elevated means a few yards off the ground, like the bridge the express went across, and Chicago is one of the towns that has it, that's where the movie is: Chicago Illinois." I said and they nodded in understanding. "So who was the thickhead that dragged up your remark exactly, if we had a wolf get into the underground train system?" Crouch asked and I sighed. "A man coming home from work that night, not realizing Kessler got into the tunnel system now."
"He was getting a candy from the vending machine and heard this." I said and turned it on as we heard the growls and the MLE nodded sternly. "You moron, you hear that, never mind asking questions, just get the hades out of there!" Amos said in shock and I nodded. "We know and that's what we said, but knowing what I'm hearing here every full moon for a week. It's we're knowing the stories on werewolves are true, about them being in the forest, as you said here."
"But this is what they sound like." I said pressing the sound effects tape deck, and we heard the howling, and the cats starts growling as their fur started standing straight up at that in response. "Crookshanks, you're already puffed up enough without you being scared right now, but that's just a sound tape, no dangerous wolf." I said and he mewed as he curled up in my arms as the girls were shaking in laughter as Norris gave a mew to that in response gently.
"I just figured out in why the hell he's trying to stay focused on the bigger picture, Severus." I said and he nodded sternly, as he activated that portion and the most important piece to it. "On the night Lord Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry... Then Lilly Potter cast herself between them, the curse rebounded. When that happens, a part of Voldemort's soul..., latched itself onto the only living thing it could find..., Harry himself now.".
"There's a reason Harry can speak with snakes.., there's a reason he can look into Lord Voldemort's mind, a part of Voldemort lives inside him." he said and I heard Severus's slow growing anger to that news. "So, when the time comes... ...the boy must die?" he said sternly to him. "Yes... yes. He must die." he said and and the MLE crossed their arms and he started shaking in fear at that reaction then now, realizing he was screwed now.
"You've kept him alive, so he can die at the proper moment? You've been raising him like a pig for slaughter. And yes, I started to care about him, we may have had problems, but I see his entire personality as Lilly. All this is a trick, you tricked me, you tricked the order, Sirius was part of the plan. But you killed him, there is no forgiveness once this gets out in the Order." he said and we ended it at that firmly then.
"Now that we know that, I think we can do this the proper way and we have you being the true leader of the light. But kill the one inside you years sooner then he wanted right now, and we destroyed them all. It's he's going to jail, or dies by his own lust for power now, starting now." Fudge said and I nodded as I said it. "I know and he never wanted that to happen, having Fawkes prevent the one in me from dying too soon, because the prophecy is his key to power."
"He needs my blood to create the prophecy, neither can live while the other survives, his horcrux inside me is his only way to stay alive, that and my blood. I erase it and we take away the flesh of the servant, willingly given piece to the potion, we win." I said and the ministry nodded sternly and Fudge looked at Dumbledore who went pale in fear then. "So why guard the prophecy when they're all trying to lay low as our clones can be in the spots necessary here."
"As you kill the snake and be done with it, while it's busy attacking my clone, you kill it and that's it." Arthur said and Molly smiled at his idea in relief. "Thinking about your emotions is required, he promised nothing was going to happen and that Christmas, it does. What happens if I never had that look through the snake?" I said and he went white and Molly nodded. "Indeed you promised nothing bad was going to happen and were it not for Harry, Arthur is dead now."
"You can't explain this away, can't make it go away by your wand and a twinkle in your eye, he's right, we're resigning ourselves to the smaller picture. Our families come first, survival over the greater good, it is for the greater good, Peter Pettigrew has to die. But we erase the flesh of the servant piece to the potion and destroy the one inside him, we win. As we destroy the others, and before year 6 as your lust for power becomes your undoing." she said and they nodded.
"Say we have no concept of the greater good, well the greater good is focused on considering the families of the lost, the so called dead, are clones. So Dave, Bertha, your double, Brendan, James, Sir, Gary, get yourselves cloned, you as well Nattie, Mam, Robert, Jeremy. You're playing your characters and your clones are in your spot for the murders now. So best clone yourselves as we clone you and Frank's double, we never lost anyone." I said and they nodded to my idea.
"You were up to mid production in the third film, before finished that one, but time to resign yourselves to the smaller picture now, so cloning, as Brendan. Nattie, Robert, Frank, Gary come into the picture, along with your doubles Sir, George, Ron's brother Bill. And the rest of the Triwizard tournament cast and Umbridge next, so we clone you. And you, everyone, that died is a clone and you're in the said place of the line of fire." I said and the cast nodded smiling then.
"So we leave clones in the spots that cost you each of us, from the boys and Cedric, to Frank and me, even Arthur, this saves alot of lives, Sturgis, Amelia. These Death Eaters are determined to kill everyone, but this idea is perfect here right now. But if he thinks this is not needed, he's mad, because to him, your ideas are reckless, his are safe." Bertha said sternly and Dumbledore paled, realizing they thought he was crazy, and my idea was just fine to them.
"From the look on his face, he definitely sees that idea as not necessary and your considering our feelings, right now we start now and now he sees. That you have to be protected from yourself now, but you've been in training all summer. And are the top of your class in defense, but you don't need protecting all the time, what would have happened. Now, if you decided to see why the Order staked out the department, by taking the sword to your wrist, as the pain."
"Now reveals the shocking truth, there is one inside you, and then you realize it, you and the there could be more and you come to me, as we destroy them all." Amelia said sternly and Scrimgeour nodded sternly in agreement. "That's the reason, he's back, but in a way he's not back, because the anchors keep him alive, we destroy the anchors, he's gone for good. As you join with me, as you realize he lied all this time, he's been lying to you all the time now here."
"As you then realize Percy had the right idea, what's wrong with following the government and thinking for yourselves. As you tell Dobby to grab the sword, and I got you in hiding all summer, to protect you and said story becomes true now. All they done is do exactly as he told them to do, how can you be cross with them for that?" Fudge said sternly smiling and the 9 went pale as Dumbledore went as white as a ghost then, realizing I belonged to him now shaking at that.
"Before that got changed to checking your mother's will, and we all turned on him, because if he did that to Sirius, who's not to say he'll do it to us and we start following you now." Kingsley said sternly and he started shaking in fear. "Being the true leader of the light, you're a cadet destined for greatness, son." Patrick said smiling and Moody smiled proudly then. "He's a natural leader, and the best of his class, a skilled strategist, but to us your idea is the best option now."
"But to him, he sees this idea right now as not necessary, as you're considering our feelings by that decision, in keeping to the smaller picture." Scrimgeour said sternly at the look of fear on his face then. "His remark, before he died by his own lust for power, said just cost him severely right now, Sir, as such at the moment. If I chose to, after he escaped, and then decided to test that theory by slashing my hand, I know and knew here I was a horcrux, we been lied to."
"And every word you said here becomes true now on him, not only is Riddle trying to kill me, but as is Dumbledore, he's mad, and praying. That you listen him over the only way to kill him, is by killing me." I said and he went white and Fudge nodded sternly. "Well not anymore, we just get the one in you out, after you spent 4 years practicing that language. And then start destroying them all one by one now." Amelia said and the trio nodded in stern agreement then.
And to her opinion. "But I must not tell lies, I been backing you for going on 6 years now, so why lie, and you drilled that into me for 5 years, I never lied to you before. I'm not starting now, so Umbridge's attempt to have me convince Firenze's herd she means nothing. I'm sorry, but I must not tell lies, so long as I stick with you, my record is clean now, but follow him. And I'm asking for repeated problems here, but inflated ego." I said and they nodded as he paled then.
"And his ego is so inflated here right now, is he's praying we turn to him for advice like normal, or say we think he's right at the moment, but no. Not going to happen, we do this you way, we win and we lose no one only damage done is all clones now. But a few dead clones, magical and muggle, and possible murder by being eaten are a small price to pay to stop him." Crouch said sternly and Fudge nodded in agreement as they and Amelia exchanged looks then.
"Sorry Minerva, Horace, Filius, Pomona, but in order to stop him, we have to get a bit more reckless then you'd have wanted here right now." Fudge said and they nodded. "So long as we don't have those bloody things coming into the grounds it's fine, I'm not going through it again." Minerva said and the ministry nodded. "We understand, but directing them further out to and the wolves and 1/5th of my department here should be enough." Moody said and she nodded.
"You know I was wondering why you called him by name till dad showed me the picture, he's part of the Order, like you were." I said and they chuckled. "We've known each other for years here that his actually sinking to your level, when we're your mentors. Was something I was trying to break him of the habit of." she said and we nodded with a laugh. "This is going to be a long year that year, but after the riot at the cup, extra security." Remus said and she nodded.
"And how times have we said to stop hexing each other with your backs turned, I know you're sick of them picking on you, but that's no reason to start sinking to their levels. And let us do it for you, before you children kill each other next here." Pomona said and we looked down and the quartet nodded with a smile. "Issues in our students, but that's like saying, time to grow up now, at 14, time to stop acting like a cub, time to grow up." Slughorn said to that gently then.
"Three wolves and 15 to 20 aurors on duty here, is plenty protection, but we're still saying, until we're sure, no leaving the grounds, or the castle till we've scared him off." Amelia said and I nodded to the orders then. "Yes Mam, I will, I will follow orders, I promise you." I said gently to her and they nodded as Remus wrapped his arm around me, smiling. "Extra protection, but this means during their wolf weeks, we cage ourselves and let them roam now, but normal now."
"Is sum number wolves, plus a bunch of aurors are plenty in security." I said and he nodded. "I think it will be risky son, but in the end, this will be worth it and get in with the werewolves now. We'll have to practice till we work all the kinks out, but yeah I think this will be worthwhile." Amos said and he nodded in agreement to that. "Indeed, I agree with him, it will be a bit risky, but with intense practice till all the kinks are worked out, it will work right now in truth now."
"This connects to the tournament now, I see where this conversation is going here right now, so we kill Peter or just detain him, and he's done. But without the flesh of the servant piece of the potion, he can never come back and you kill him and done. You destroy the snake horcrux after said killed Bertha and leave the headmaster's power hungry catch to finish him off. And we win right now." Fudge asked and I nodded. "He did say….." I said and they smiled sternly at that.
"He did say to trust your judgement, to trust you, and we do son, we do, we do, so we go with your idea." Kingsley said gently and the adult order nodded in agreement. "Yes indeed, he said for us to trust you and we do, so we go with your planning and by year 5 we're done. But your suggestion to destroy them all, before the tournament is a beyond good one and we're checking the prophecy." Scrimgeour said and I nodded and Dumbledore paled, realizing his words then.
Said backfired on him in the worst way possible here. "I see no reason for you not to be allowed to live your life, we're there to protect you now, as such right now. It's we're entirely agreeable with your idea, we see this attempted coercion to outright manipulation as a threat. Your ideas make more sense then his do, we destroy them all, before year 4 and he's finished. As we get the snake and he has the ring, as you kill him." Amelia said and Crouch and Fudge nodded then.
And in agreement to her opinion at that remark. "So now what here Dumbledore, you told everyone to trust my judgement in the order, we do destroy them all early. And then I kill him at the tournament finale and done, nothing simpler now." I said and he started shaking at that remark and the ministry members all crossed their arms at that remark then sternly then. "But though 14, to us you're still a child, a baby with your whole life to live right now, so why now."
"Why should we even listen to him, when he's out of his bloody mind right now, so now what Dumbledore, what, said remarks in the book, everyone believing here. Thought I kept turning to you for advice, well not anymore, we're not corrupted, not anymore right now. This child is not naive, but you sure are, you're more then deluded, your arrogance reached a record high. I call that, this, a double edged sword, your words are now your own downfall Dumbledore, in truth."
"You told us and the faculty, the order, to trust him, and his idea makes so much sense, that we do this his way, my words in book 5, become fact now, he's not back. Harry left us irrefutable evidence to prove he's not back, but the sword, followed by getting chopped to pieces. How can he come back from that exactly now, because Harry erased the problem. Now from existence and then erased a second, by killing Greyback." Fudge said and he swallowed hard at that.
"So you're utterly convinced that to stop him is sacrificing a child, a baby with his whole to live right now, when to him, that the key to stopping him. Said is erasing the flesh of the servant piece to potion, leaving him trapped like that, before Harry finishes the job. And by taking the sword to him?" Fudge said sternly and Dumbledore went white, realizing to them that my idea made more sense then his did and to them, this was perfectly fine now as a result then here.
"An engaging young man, one of our finest families, the young heir to it, he's a leader in every sense of the word here, but that's in the bible, 'and a child shall lead them.'. He is that child, he can lead us to victory by doing this honestly." he said sternly and Dumbledore started shaking. "To you Peter is the key to stopping him, to Dumbledore, it's you, well this is simple enough, we sacrifice Peter then, we erase the flesh of the servant, and we win." Ben said sternly to this.
"And to repeat that exchange with the guys right now watching things, when wolf, and them bounty hunters here, they were at the scene, watching everything. There were witnesses?" I said, pretending to be the Ron and Patterson and he smiled. "So they said." he said, pretending to be Dumbledore at that remark. "How could there have been witnesses, it was so dark, we're not even there and he's found covered in blood, with a bloodstained knife and concussion."
"I don't know what they're talking about." I said and he nodded gently. "In time, I'm sure it'll all come to you." he said and I sighed. "Professor, my memory is just fine, it's my sanity I'm beginning to worry about." I said gently and we ended it that. "Point taken, I made sure there were witnesses, with the guys potioned, they can talk wolf to the minister. And that's that, as I tell him and Misters Crouch and Scrimgeour what happened." I said and the 9 all paled at that.
"I actually loved the actor playing Hirsch in truth, if I wanted anyone for a real medical doctor or psychiatrist, I'd want him." Billy said and I nodded. "Me too, but issues in growing too attached here, that your own patients never want to let go." I said and Ben looked down, smiling at my opinion then. "Yeah, since getting to know you Doctor, we all love you, that we never want to let go, but 8 years, in a way still cubs." Sarah said smiling at him gently at that response then.
"As for this, just one year going dangerous and then a human mind in a buffalo sized wolf body the following year and The Hangman was a local pub in Little Hangleton. It's 200 miles away from Little Whinging." Minerva said and I nodded in shock. "Alright then, we place some of our side in the pub, and he'll never know we had witnesses to his final destruction. But looks like if the headmaster is not there, he's not convinced he's dead." Percy said and she nodded sternly.
"And secondly, he's utterly convinced here, as I killed Quirrell already, he seems to think after I collapsed, that Riddle found a new host, in me and I'm not me. Anymore, Riddle just possessed my body and you're all protecting our world's biggest threat here." I said and they nodded in shocked disgust at that. "Like I said, Dumbledore: is he daft or is he dangerous, answer is he's both, he's a paranoid schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur." Fudge said in shocked disgust.
"So that's what it is, if he never was involved and never saw it, then he's convinced it's not over, till you're dead, even after we removed the one inside you?" Amelia asked and he and I nodded and Crouch crossed his arms and Dumbledore paled. "Yeah it is, to him, if he's doesn't know we been doing this behind his back, or not involved here. Then to him, it's not over, and the one inside him is not dead, to kill him completely is by killing Harry." Percy said and they nodded.
"Yeah I call that a psychosis, mass neurosis, he never sees it, or is involved in his destruction, he's convinced it's not over till your brother is dead." Ben said sternly and Dumbledore went white, realizing they all thought this then. "Jack, you and Eric are in the graveyard with whoever of the pack are there along with Frank, as with Harry possibly unconscious. We need an eye witness to see where he teleported to." Amos said and they nodded smiling and they nodded.
"Indeed, we need to know where he went, so after he leaves, follow him, and we're keeping that out of the report here now, till he comes too, as he winds up in muggle hospital. He gets the real rest and medicine his body needs, till he makes contact with us." Scrimgeour said and the two aurors nodded to the orders then. "Seems your opinions and advice are no longer needed headmaster, we can do this ourselves now." Dawlish said and he swallowed hard at that remark.
"Or just have Charlotte Randolph, Edward Jamison and David Redford watching, with Tony and Luke." Remus said and I nodded. "Yeah there were witnesses and you know my ending him this completely, was just proven, you had witnesses to the brutality." I said and MLE and the faculty nodded in agreement. "The trio are the bartender, the man playing darts and the leader of the pub." I said and the cast nodded in shock. "The movie?" Patrick said to clarify and I nodded.
"The Slaughtered Lamb is like the Leaky Cauldron, it's a wizard's pub, but their town has been plagued by werewolves for 190 years, they got used to this." Minerva said and he nodded in amazement. "Toppy get the quartet, Dr. Hirsh, Kessler, his wife and his best friend, Jack Goodman, it's time, he's needing that potion to keep his mind here." Amos said and he nodded and zapped out. "The pentagram was just to ward off evil spirits." I said and they nodded then.
"Growing up with an understanding of this, the stupid embassy rep, never considered this right now, that he just came to and the doctor was trying to prevent a panic attack." I said sternly and he nodded gently "Indeed, but you coming too after sum week of unconsciousness, and this thickhead is in the room, and says that, I'm not taking it well. Because you're still suffering a massive case of magical exhaustion." Ben said sternly and I nodded to that remark gently then.
"I never saw that coming, so we walked into a wizard town!" we heard in response to that news and I looked up and smiled as I nodded. "That's right, hey Uncle Dave?" I asked and he nodded. "Well they only knocked you unconscious, but these imbeciles never considered I know more then they do to know this, but guys, there is a way for you to be off the radar now. And instead of how you been doing, said potion mentioned in the book, turns you into a human mind."
"Inside a wolf body." I said and they nodded. "And technically you're right, a trauma like this tends to leave out key pieces here, so insuring. Now, that we have a few witnesses on hand is the best way to go right now, I take it you used mine with David. After Scotland Yard said there were witnesses?" the doctor asked and I nodded. "Yeah, but getting the trio, and two members of your new pack, Dave, is my one chance." I said and he nodded gently as she shook her head.
"But technically, you're right, but once a month at the full moon, is the reason nobody ever considered we got a supernatural wolf running loose in northern England. Because once shot and killed, or in this case knocked unconscious, you got one month to adjust. Before it starts a second time, once a month at the full moon here right now, is why. In truth, you never realized this at the time right now, it's because 90% of the time, they're human till the week of now."
"And they phase and become oversized wolves, but said potion mum mentioned in the letter is a potion meant to put you back in control, that's what dad meant. 'Have you taken your potion tonight', he knew immediately on the potion, because the created it. A year after the old fool murdered my parents." I said and they nodded gently. "And thank god for your mother's advice or we never would have been able to manage this." he said in response smiling and I nodded.
"Case of upping the ages, we're 31, but look 40 years old, while the Dursleys, Diggories, and Weasleys, the Kesslers are 40, looking 50 years old now." Remus said and I nodded. "That's why they chose actors looking in their 40's for the movies, in the adults, aside from Maggie. She's 65, and playing a witch 10 years older, way of life in the movie industry, Alan's 55. And playing a 31 year old, Gary and David with him." I said and they all nodded gently to the news smiling.
"Well now that you explained my character's life to me, I'm staying in this project till we finish out, son." Alan said smiling and Maggie nodded in agreement. "There's more to both of your characters then you ever thought possible, my relationship to you now. So much more, that before Joanne gave you that reveal, I just did it for her, mum's best friend. If things had been different and you stayed clear of the Death Eaters, you'd my father, but uncle is just as good."
"While in the case of you, Maggie, your character's best friend was my grandmother, she named you dad's godmother, so adoptive grandma. As the years went by, during the summer, you went cat and was coming to check on me all the time. Till you revealed yourself to me this past semester and I knew you and my cat are one and the same. But these next 3 years, expect trouble, I don't go looking for trouble, it finds me." I said and they nodded to me, bemused.
"Doctor I recommend you telling Chapman to input silver bars at designated spots, anyone inside the said building the bars prevent them from coming into the said building. The hospital, the security point at the subway station, the police station and so on, and all humans. Get inside the building and lock the doors, the screen-doors are also made of solid silver here now. So the wolves can't get into buildings, and we're safely out of reach." I said and he nodded to my idea.
"Nice thinking baby, that keeps the wolves out and us safely indoors, I remember your mother saying wolfsbane can repel werewolves, so that. And solid silver are useful weapons against the wolves, however the pentagram, what's that mean?" She asked and I explained that to him. "You mean the one they had at Lilkley, it was actually a good symbol, not evil, but pretending to be muggles, they had that one the wall to deter tourists from staying." I said and she nodded.
"Or asking about something dangerous, and they were scared you'd expose them, because at the time for the previous 90 years we kept to ourselves. It wasn't until the last semester we started mixing with muggles, but that's just us, with you revealing your advancement. We can manage and mix, as the statute is hereby abolished and we can help you manage his condition." Fudge said and she nodded gently in relief as I looked at Kessler gently as I said it to him then.
"Uncle Dave, you're going to have to revert back for 16 months, but everyone in London, that was outside when Renfield's pack-mates are a prowling. Are all clones, you never killed a real human and 2) all humans lock the doors and stay away from the windows. Daniel's catch on dealing with the Black company is my idea, we catch him, fine, if not. At least you know you scared him off while protecting me." I said and he nodded smiling as I pressed my forehead.
And to his and they heard a happy purring at that and Petunia smiled at the response as Remus nodded as he got it. "Done cub, done." he said gently then and I nodded. "Remus is part of your pack, but you're both about to join the Renfield pack now, so you're brothers now. You remember Remus Lupin." I said and he looked at Remus and smiled. "Yes indeed, we remember that day we met your parents, godfather and uncle." his wife said smiling and they smiled then.
"The exchange between you and the doctor was getting referenced, but this old fool's on the standard if he's not involved or doesn't see it, it's not over. But the medical evidence, the lab tests tell you different right now, that and the nightmares. Your conversation in reverse, Aunt Alex, Doctor, wolf fantasies and such, to him, he's deluded. But Dumbledore is a schizophrenic, suffering delusions of grandeur." I said and they nodded sternly as Goodman crossed his arms.
"Thank you for the warning Harry, but do you really expect us to let you upset him without any reaction by us, and when Ben told me the side effects of his using his powers that soon. After coming to, I been his Doctor since he was 3 years old here, to me, my cub, but 10 years. In living with this condition, David's just came from his cycle and now the truth hit. Harry could get to his wolf beyond easily now." the doctor said sternly to that and he swallowed hard at that.
"One bad side effect of being a wizard my age to borderline 15, attempted magic when you're starting to recover from something like this. It sets the victim back a few more weeks, so he forces me to use my wand, this is only going to tick you guys off further. In truth now, but this is, in comparison, Jack's clone appearing before David that mutilated. Hearing what attacked him and hearing he was about to turn into the same thing." I said and she and Kessler nodded.
"So same reaction till I have to get in there and calm you down, while shoving whoever upset you that much out the door now." Alex said gently and I nodded. "Without the sedative, their forcing me to remember is basically triggering a flashback, and one you don't need. Because I'm in denial, denial he is back, denial that Dumbledore is right, because I killed him. And you erased the memory and denial, because you know I killed him, by seeing the carnage here."
"I'm in denial he's back, I know Cedric is alive, and you erased the memory until I'm ready to deal with it, so why worry, you know I'm recovering emotionally." I said sternly and he nodded sternly to that. "Indeed I do, I'm looking at Chris's reaction after the brat playing Anderson claimed Ralph was the one who did it and is gone. And he stirred him up enough Patrick ended the visit, as he pulled himself together, I'm just saying the same, but do not ever bring it up."
"In what happened in the graveyard or the chamber, he's still very wracked up mentally and emotionally, he'll get over this, if we give him time. And like he said repeatedly, he can't remember how can you trust his word here, if he can't even remember. But Severus, I need that memory blocker, to erase the memory depending the duration. Until he's ready, just leave it be, I mean it, leave it alone, or you're barred from seeing him." the doctor said sternly to this news.
"Wait, this is the Alex and Dr. Hirsch you mentioned, Petunia, Lilly gave you enough you passed it to them after 2 years dealing with his condition?" Minerva asked and she nodded. "My name Alexandra Kessler, nee' Price, and this is my supervisor, Dr. John Hirsch. But after removing the steel bars from the cage, we put in solid silver, left a couple dozen raw steaks in the corner. And then he changed into a set of shorts, before locking himself in." she said and they nodded then.
"Been doing that every month, since he chose to stay here in London with me, for the last 19 years, our daughter gained his ability for lycanthropy. And I cloned myself, said clone was my twin and they headed for Paris." she said and Crouch nodded. "That's the other reason Petunia was so bitter, not only did this way of life take her sister away from her. It had her best friend being the wife of a werewolf, so if not one way she had the other." Hirsch said and they nodded.
"But Lilly's ideas gave us a way and we thank you for the help, if there is further ways we can manage his condition, we'd appreciate it." she added and I nodded smiling. "There is now and we can get you in on insurance, as this was something the ministry never considered. Medical insurance by their department, the ministry are authorizing a bounty hunter department. Wolf bounty hunters and in exchange, the potion comes with the HMO." I said and they smiled then.
"Then I'm in, I want this potion, I can work for you, Madam Bones, as one of your wolf bounty hunters." Kessler said smiling and she nodded. "Very well David, you're working my branch and in pounds the amount is £18,270, per bounty. And medical insurance is 10 for a weeks worth of potion, between your phasing weeks." she said and he nodded to her smiling. "As for cub there, whatever happens year 4, we can be his safe house now." he said and she nodded as she said it.
"The pro him are in shock that we see being friends with a werewolf, or married to one as fine, but they're being treated like freaks." I said and he nodded sternly. "Or you freeing yourself from this prophecy as one scratch of my or Remus's claws, and you're like us now." he said and I nodded. "Exactly, to be free of this bloody prophecy he's fixated on, I want to be like you, just what am I famous for in this world?" I asked and they all paled, realized he and the trio agreed.
