Chapter 9

AN: Hey guys! I'm back, and yes I know it took a while. My number for my challenge was 562. I could have possibly had this chapter out sooner, BUT in an ironic sense, I got ghosted by the challenge winner, GhostSixTwo Now that that is out of the way, this chapter took some time as I wanted to get this one to be a full end to book one, as well as a bridge into the start of book two. I wasn't going to rush, as I already do that for two jobs, so I needed to take a step back for a bit. That being said, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Crawley, England June 3, 1992

Caster sat in the dining room with Emma Granger as they talked about their children and the events of the school year. While doing so, Caster paused due to sensing magus signatures enter her bounded fields.

"Emma, dear, I believe we are about to have company. I will be right back." Caster calmly said as she got up and went to the front door, only to see it get knocked off of its hinges.

"All magi on this property stand down. We are the enforcers, you cannot escape." hollered out one Bazett Fraga MCRemitz.

Caster looked at the remains of her door. "That was completely unnecessary thing to do. I would have gladly let you in if you had just but knocked politely on the door instead of destroying it." Caster sighed. "Oh well. Do come in, we can continue this discussion inside. Oh, and do fix my door, I am not air conditioning the entire world." Caster led the enforcers into the house as one of them fixed the door.

Emma looked over at the door to the dining room to see the new arrivals. "You were right like usual, Caster. I can assume that you are here due to the magic energy connecting here and in northern Scotland, yes?"

Bazett went wide eyed. "Yes, but how would you know that?"

"My name is Emma Granger. My daughter just so happens to be a mundane born witch attending her first year at Hogwarts alongside her friends, Caster's youngest daughter among that group."

"I see. Since you called her Caster, I assume she is your Servant?"

"I am not Emma's Servant, though she does know about the Grail wars and the Throne of Heroes, she does not have magic of her own. My 'Master' as you would call them is actually my adopted daughter. Myself and six others were summoned as a result of a botched ritual to summon a guardian for my daughter by her late mother. Though looking at the Late Lady Potter's journals do say that while the ritual used to summon us was similar to that of the summonings for the grail wars, we are not connected to the grail. Instead we are tied down to the Earth beneath our feet. We still draw power from our Master, but only in extreme cases. She is able to power all seven of us using our Noble Phantasms, though we will not use them at the same time. Now, that that is put aside, I do believe I see the tell tale signs of the Grail starting to choose Masters for a Grail War. While it will not happen this year, it will in the near future. You should know that the grail is currently inhabited by the spirit of Angra Mainyu. It is corrupted, and any wish granted on it will result in bad news for the rest of the world." Caster took a sip of her tea. "Once again, I am beaten in the ways of making tea. You've outdone yourself, Emma."

"No need for flattery Caster, You do make good tea as well. Although, both of us could learn a thing or two from Shirou and Sakura when it comes to cooking," Emma laughed.

"You do realize that means that Vivian Potter is to be given Sealing Designation, right? If she is controlling seven Servants, she would be considered a threat to the world, making our use of force necessary." Bazett frowned.

"Normally that would be the case if you did not factor in that my daughter just stopped an attempt by one Tom Riddle, better known as Voldemort, from returning two days ago. She does not like conflict, and would normally avoid it. Also, did you miss how I said it was a botched ritual that summoned us? She has no command seals on her at all. The ritual may have connected us to her like the one used in the Grail wars, but she has no way of controlling us. we keep her safe out of love and self preservation." Caster let out a sigh. "That however is neither here nor there. If you will excuse me, I have an emergency trial to attend with the wizengamot today. I pray you heed my words, if not for my benefit, but for yourselves. Do not threaten my daughter in any way, shape or form. That includes with a sealing designation. I may prefer to handle things without violence, but I will not tolerate a threat to my daughter. Her sisters are just as protective. Be glad that Kita was out on her paper route, otherwise you may have lost your live. I will see you later this evening Emma. We simply must pick back up from where we were interrupted earlier." Caster walked out of the room, leaving a shell shocked Bazett and a smiling Emma.

Bazett looked to Emma. "I-is what she said true?"

It is. Since our facts came from the mouth of the King of Heroes himself, Eri and Isha confirmed it since they said he wouldn't lie. As to the Command Seals part, it is also true. I remember having helped Vivian with her swimsuits when she was little. As I am in the know about magic thanks to my daughter, they let me in on the facts of the Moonlit world just as much as the wizarding world. Vivian has no command seals, but the might get some due to the upcoming grail war in a few years." Emma paused to take a sip of her tea. "Caster has Eri keeping an eye on Fuyuki since she can tell Angra Mainyu has revived both Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine thanks to the black mud inside them. If you do end up taking part in the Grail war, it might be prudent to join up with us so we can purify the grail. In the mean time, I think it is time you get back to the Clock Tower. Oh, and do say hi to Lord El Melloi II for us, whilst telling him that he's been late for tea the last two weeks!"

Wizengamot Chamber M O M, June 3,1992

Caster arrived at the chamber for the Wizengamot just in time to take her seat as they started role call for those in attendance. After the attendance was confirmed, Amelia took to the floor. "I apologize for calling you here on such short notice, but the circumstances leading to this emergency trial stems from the use of an unforgivable by one we entrust our children's safety to. Aurors, bring in the accused!" As the aurors brought out the culprit many were shocked to see Albus Dumbledore being brought out in chains.

"Amelia, what is the meaning of this?!" Cornelius Fudge hollered out.

"Prisoner Dumbledore, two nights ago, attempted to cast the Killing Curse at one of Regent Potter's daughters after they had just finished protecting the school from an attempted revival by the malignant spirit of the dark lord. In the process of casting the spell, he had his magical core temporarily severed by Regent Potter's Daughter Miya. HE stands here before this body to face judgment by his peers." Amelia started to speak.

"Preposterous. The Dark lord is dead. He can't come back. I will not have you insighting fear in the public. This trial is over. Albus has a full ministerial pardon."

"By my power as Regent of the Royal Houses of Pendragon and Le Fey, you are overruled, Minister Fudge. As has been explained to the Wizengamot, my daughter eri is like me, a goddess. Her domain is that of the underworld. She can tell when people pass on to the afterlife, guide spirits to the great beyond, and tell when those who are not supposed to be alive are still alive. She has confirmed with her domain and her own eyes as of the First of June this year, that the spirit of one Tom Marvolo Riddle, better known to the world as Lord Voldemort, is still in this world. Through use of one of the darkest magics possible, he cheated her out of claiming his soul for his eternal torment for his many crimes. He is still alive, just without a body, essentially existing as a parasitic leech when possessing another's body or as a wraith without. Albus Dumbledore will stand trial for his crimes as well as anyone else would. My runes for truth are still active in this very room, Veritasserum will not be nessessary." Caster stood as she said that. It was well known throughout the British Wizarding Community that Regent Potter favoured the DMLE, having gotten many of the budget cuts to the department reversed when Fudge had been 'Graciously donated' money by one of the dark families with honeyed words of not needing the aurors so heavily employed. "I have been rather patient with you to see if you will ever think of doing more than looking good in the public eye, but you keep putting your foot in your mouth. It is time for you to start thinking of how to better the community rather than look good for a photo. I apologize for taking so much time, Madam Bones. Please proceed to start the trial."

"Albus Dumbledore, you stand accuses of multiple counts of child endangerment, abuse of authority, and attempted use of the Killing Curse. How do you plead?" Cheif witch Augusta Longbottom spoke.

Albus grit his teeth. He knew the Dowager Longbottom was not one you wanted to be on the wrong side of. Why could she , much like that infuriating Bones woman and that woman claiming tho be a goddess. As much as he tried, his wandless magic could not overcome those runes. " Not Guilty."

"Noted. Madam Bones the floor is yours." Madam Longbottom passed said as the scribe wrote down the defendant's plea.

"We will cover the child endangerment first. Tell the court what you said to the students at the start of year feast about the third floor corridor on the right hand side, and why you said that."

"I told the entire school that the Third Floor Corridor on the right hand side was out of bounds to all who did not wish to die a most painful death. In reality it was a series of traps I had other members of the staff make using compulsion magic to guard a fake Philosopher's stone. I had the traps made to be the level fof a first year with the plan of manipulating the Potter Brat to confront Quirrel and Voldemort by herself so I could save her and have her ingratiated to me to get her to be loyal to myself." As Dumbledore spoke of what he did, he was struggling to try and dispel the runes Caster had put all around the chamber. As she had made them using her Goddess Core, he was not going to be breaking them any time soon.

"Did you know that Quirrel was possessed by the spirit of Tom Riddle, better known as Voldemort?"

"I knew he was possessed when I interviewed him."

"Why did you not call for aurors to come deal with him so that the students could be kept safe?"

"I wanted as little people to know he was still alive so I could continue to plan for his return and eventually have the Potter brat be a martyr so I could go down in history as the only person to defeat two dark lords, and cement my rightful place as the ruler of Magical Britain. The children, especially the Mudbloods, mattered little to me. They are all pawns in the Greater Good." Many of the people gathered gasped at Dumbledore's admission of how he thought of the children.

"Did you tell Madam Hooch that it was required for Heiress Potter to speak aloud during the first flying lesson, knowing that Heiress Potter's words are empowered by her magic?"

"I did. It was my hope that by having her do so, I could manage to get rid of two obstacles in my quest to gain control over the brat, as well as get rid of a few Mudbloods while I was at it." Dumbledore was fuming as his thoughts were being laid bare to these worthless people. How dare they question his motives and reasonings. He is the second coming of Merlin!

"When Heiress Potter and her sisters stopped Quirrel and Tom Riddle from getting the fake stone, why did you try to kill her sisters with the Killing Curse?"

"I needed to get rid of them to be able to force the loyalty potions I had just managed to finish brewing and keying to myself down the brat's throat."

"It was confirmed that in his pocket was loyalty potion keyed to himself. Last question, as this one is directed as a whole to assure the populace. What does the Greater Good mean?"

"Objection. That has no relevance to this trial." Fudge called out.

"Overruled! The question is permitted as he did mention it just moments ago when asked why he did not bring the knowledge of the Dark Lord's survival before the aurors." Madam Longbottom called from her seat.

"It means that all that Gellert and I see as right for us. We intended to rule the world together after making sure I was the public ruler with Gellert as my lover and personal executioner for all who opposed me. It was why we made sure to secret himself to the depths of Numengard while I manipulate the rest of the world. I used compulsion magic to make sure no one would question my motives, led Voldemort astray in purpose. I had to change my plans when Trelawny gave that prophesy. I made sure Voldemort got part of the Prophesy so I could manipulate him. Had the Potters been fully wiped out, I had planned to use the Longbottom brat as the spare to ensure his defeat and my rise."

Madam Longbottom instantly knew what that meant. She was fiercely protective of Neville. She tore into her own brother for having dropped her baby out of a window. An old woman she may be, but she was not born yesterday. "Lord Greengrass, I need you to temporarily take the chair for the rest of this trial. I have too much of a vested interest in this trial. From what we have just heard, this man in front of us sentenced multiple families to death with his 'stun only' policy in the war against Tom Riddle, and was orchestrating the battles along side his lover Gellert Grindewald in the previous war. Thanks to this man setting my son and daughter-in-law up to be murdered if the Potters had all been wiped out leaves me too invested in seeing this man sentenced heavily."

"I understand and accept the role in your stead." Lord Greengrass stood from his seat, walking to where Madam Longbottom was seated. "I will not make you move. I may have one of my daughters at Hogwarts, but that is as far as my personal feelings for this trial will go. I will stand here for the time in which I fill your position." Lord Greengrass looked to Dumbledore. "Albus Dumbledore, your crimes are many more than what had been the reason for us to gather for this immediate trial. You have jeopardized the lives of many of our citizens, toying with our lives as if we don't matter. I believe it is time for the vote. All who find the defendant guilty of all charges and more?" Almost the entirety of the Wizengamot raised their hands. "All for seeing him cleared of all charges?" Cornelius Fudge and Daedalus Diggle were the only two to raise their hands. "This court finds you guilty. As your crimes ended up effecting the Royal Houses of Pendragon and Le Fey, I will let Regent Potter decide your fate."

"Thank you, Lord Greengrass. I have had to deal with you since the time I took up as Vivian's adoptive mother, and each time you managed to irritate me. It is time you are given your just desserts. You are here by sentenced to be pushed through the Veil of Death. Though I would rather spare Eri from having to deal with your soul, it is the only punishment that will stick. You will have your Order of Merlin revoked, and will be removed from the chocolate frog cards. You paraded around as the Leader of Light, but were actually a Dark Lord in disguise. Farewell, Albus Dumbledore. I highly doubt your 'Next Great Adventure' as you like to call it will be pleasant. Do say hello to Lady Potter in the afterlife for me." With his punishment having been said, Dumbledore was dragged out, trying to fight against the aurors the entire time.

Not fifty minutes later, the Unspeakables reported to the Wizengamot that Albus Dumbledore had nearly escaped with help from on Gellert Grindewald, who was currently under disillusionment to keep his identity hidden. Both had nearly made it to the Floo access room when they were apprehended by both the Unspeakables and the Aurors. Both had been stunned, levitated, and summarily floated head first through the Veil of Death. The Wizengamot then proceeded to wrap up their emergency session as cncluded, setting a date for mid September to reconvene for another trial, this time for one Sirius Black.

Hospital Wing, Hogwarts June 3, 1992

At the same time as the enforcers busting down the door at her home on the mundane side, Vivian was waking up in the Hospital Wing. Looking about she noted her four sisters standing by the doors. 'Wait a minute, why is Miya here?' As she pondered these thoughts, Eri looked up and noticed Vivian sitting up. When Eri moved to Vivian's side, the others noticed and did the same.

"Good morning, Eu." Eri Smiled. "You've been asleep for the last day and a half. How are you feeling?"

"I feel like i got ran over by Manna going as fast as a train. My head is pounding, my throat is dry, and I am hungry. That aside, why is Miya here? Last I heard she was traveling through Japan once again."

"I was, but you know how my penchant for traveling works against me. I arrived at Hogwarts two nights ago just before the old goat could cast what sounded like the killing curse at one of our sisters. I severed his core temporarily as I have no idea if he needed it to survive at his age. I did see Jealter pick up his wand after I had rendered him unable to fight." Miya rubbed the back of her head.

"While i did pick it up, I had to hand it to Amelia as evidence. When I picked it up, I noticed it had bonded to Eu, so I informed Amelia of such. After she scanned it, she handed it to me to give to Eu when she woke up. It is in your trunk." Jealter rolled her eyes.

"While I am glad to see the sisterly love you all have, I must kindly ask you to stand by the door so I can be sure Miss Potter is back to full heath so she may be released for the remainder of the semester." Madam Pomfrey said as she shooed Vivian's sisters away from the hospital bed. After a thirty minute examination, Vivian ras released to go join the rest of the school.

Great Hall, Hogwarts June 18, 1992

The next few days went by in a blur as the end of the school year came. Vivian and her friends spent the two weeks going through reviews and final exams. Though they had stayed as the top of the class, especially Hermione, Vivian took the top of the class in DADA. Neville, who had joined the group in the last week, and Hannah had taken top in Herbology. Charms was a shock as Sakura took it by a couple points from Hermione, who took the top in everyother subject. As they sat at their respective house tables for the ending feast, they talked about plans for Summer break. Draco had told them he would write as much as he could, his dad was dragging him to a few meetings with 'Friends' for a majority of the summer. Before the Feast could get under way, McGonagall called the hall to attention.

"May I have your attention please." McGonagall spoke calmly. "Before we begin the end of year feast, I have a few announcements to make. The news of Dumbledore's atrocities is still fresh in our minds, but we shall move forward into brighter times. With the support of the Board of Directors, Madam Griselda Marchbanks is to be made the new Headmistress of the School. I have enjoyed being the Acting Headmistress, but I prefer the duties I had before all of these recent events came to bare. Please make be sure to be on your best behavior for those of you who will be returning next year. The Quidditch Cup, as much as I wish it was won by my lions, will go to Hufflepuff for their outstanding performances during their games." The entire hall clapped, except the majority of Slytherin house.

After getting everyone to settle down again She continued her speech. "Yes, well done to the Badgers. They earned it. Now on to the House cup. In first place, is Ravenclaw with 4058 points. In second is Gryffindor with 3997 points. In third is Hufflepuff with 3863 points. And lastly is Slytherin with 3425 points. I know it would normally end with Ravenclaw as the clear cut winner, but there are some last minute points that need to be taken into account." The banners hanging in the Great Hall went from showing the Ravenclaw colors to a plain white. "These last minute points are being given for a great service done to the school in its time of need. Though the loss of Professor Quirrel is tragic, it is due to him allowing the spirit of the dark lord to occupy his body that lead the school to be in such a dire situation as to stop his resurrection from happening in these hallowed halls. It is for defending the school and her students that I award 400 points to Vivian Potter. In light of this, Hufflepuff is now in first place with 4263 points." The banners changed to show Hufflepuff colors as she said this. "Congratulations to Hufflepuff. That ends my announcements. Remember that you Are not allowed to use magic outside of Hogwarts. Let this final feast of the school year begin."

The next day would mark the trip home from Hogwarts, and the start of the Summer Vacation. As the students calmly made their way to their beds, Vivian thought of how she might make the most of the train ride home since a few of her friends would otherwise be unavailable during the summer months for playing games. Vivian also thought of the future, especially of what she knew was to come, for the next war was just a few years away.

AN: So that's the story so far. You guys know the drill, so keep being awesome and let me know what you think. I want to make a couple shout outs real quick before I sign off for the holidays. First is a general thank you to all of you who have given this story the many favorites it has, that means a lot to me. Next is the two specific shout outs to Zero Fullbuster and Victoria.

Zero, you've been with this story from close to the beginning. Just knowing I have at least one person who has stuck by with my slow updates waiting for the next chapter, whilst giving some of the joy they got out of reading in their reviews of what I wrote is heartwarming Thank you for your support my friend.

Victoria, I may not have said it in a previous chapter, but your review back in chapter 3 touched my heart. The generosity you gave in offering me help in Fate Grand Order was instrumental in helping me get through Lostbels 2-4. I am very grateful to that. If you are reading this chapter, I had just finished Lostbelt 4 with help from one of your characters in the last three missions. The fact that the game will randomly put people from the friend list on the showing of who you can use per quest is a little annoying, but I sighed in relief when yours popped up.

Just in case anybody is keeping count, this is the second time I have posted a chapter in time for Christmas... I think this might become a pattern in the future.

Stay safe out there, and keep moving on. I know the days we deal with are hard now thanks to the dreaded Covid Virus and all its variants, but i want you to stay positive. We will get through this together! Keep on being you, and doing all you can to make sure you stay healthy!

Happy Holidays, Guys!

This is VRDTrio, signing out for now!
