-November 16th, 8 pm; the Hospital Ward-
With a silencing ward over the comatose Albus Dumbledore, about a few feet away is the group of the Heads of Houses, Remus Lupin, the Weasley twins, and Sirius Black waiting for a sign that Harry Potter and his soulmate, Cedric Diggory has succeeded to locate the wardstone and become Headmasters.
Sirius sighed lightly, "Thanks for the help, guys. The cave floors were getting a bit hard on my back. You sure that this would work?".
Minvera patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, Sirius. Harry and Cedric knows the basic location of the wardstone as I am the deputy headmistress, so it will be easy enough with their magic tracking it, being powerful wizards themselves.".
Sirius nodded, "Yeah, yeah, you're right. And Severus, I deeply apologize for the things I've done under Dumbledore's control...including that day.".
Severus smiled genuinely, "I forgive you, Sirius, and it wasn't your fault...Your parents, Dumbledore has misled you to believe that Slytherin was bad, evil...by using control potions...".
Remus growled lightly, "I just can't believe that Dumbledore was intent on sacrificing Harry for the 'greater good'. Hah, it's the most horrible, and ridiculous thing ever!".
Sirius huffed, "There's no way Harry would do that! He has family, friends, and his soulmate!". Nods of agreement came around at Sirius's ranting comment. Suddenly, the castle begins to rumble for a few moments before stopping.
Minvera inhaled sharply, "The wards, they're drawing upon the boys now. And Hogwarts herself accepted them as Headmasters.". The group exhaled of relief.
Fred & George Weasley laughed, "About time! Pettigrew is sure looking anxious about now.". They smirk as they glanced at a silenced/secured Pettigrew aka Wormtail, caged as a rat, unbreakable as he tried to shift, but it's no use.
A moment later, a flash appeared, revealing Fawkes, and the new young Headmasters, Harry and Cedric. Fawkes thrilled a triumphant, warm song, filling the atmosphere around the group with happiness and joy.
Minvera chuckled lightly, "I trust Fawkes is bonded to you two now?". Harry shook his head, "No, he's free to roam now. Apparently, Dumbledore forced a bond between him and Fawkes.".
Gasps of horror came out around the group. Filius snarled, "How dare he?! A Phoenix is a sacred creature! They shouldn't be forced like that!".
Remus nodded, "He's right. No wonder why Fawkes wouldn't had rebelled when he could've.". A thrill-snort came from Fawkes at Remus's comment.
Cedric spoke, "No need to worry, Uncle Remus. Fawkes is now able to go anywhere he wants to be, and another thing, the sorting hat, Damien which is his name, he has been forced to sort students upon Dumbledore's orders.".
Minvera roared, "What?!", looking properly like a lioness even when she's human at the moment. Harry nodded, "Yeah, I know. If I had gone to Slytherin, that would have pissed Dumbledore off.".
Severus nodded, remembering a previous conversation about surprising occurrences over the past few years including Harry's sorting. Pomona then spoke, "There's something else, isn't there?", glancing at Cedric with a look.
Cedric sighed, "We do need a whole mother lode of Goblin-made flushing potions...It turns out that Dumbledore has been dosing literally thousands of people who passed through Hogwarts from his time as Deputy Headmaster to Dippet to now...".
Filius snarled loudly, "What?!". Minvera gasped in horror, "But that's nearly 51 years!". The grave proclamation earned shouts and shocked faces from the group.
Remus spoke, "Riddle was dosed...". Severus muttered, "Lucius's parents...All the DE first generation...".
Fred & George shook their heads somberly, in shock, "Our parents...". Harry sighed, "That's barely the tip of the iceberg. Boys, turns out your uncles was actually soulbonded, and Dumbledore..Molly broke it off...".
Fred & George gasped in horror, "No! Are you saying that she isn't our mother?!". Cedric patted one of their shoulders, "I am sorry, but it's true...Hogwarts sensed the soulbond, but she was not strong enough to stop Dumbledore and Molly from dosing your dad...and your fathers...".
Fred & George blinked in shock, and glanced at each other, having a silent conversation before looking at Harry and Cedric, "Dad was soulbonded to Fabian and Gideon, wasn't he?". Harry and Cedric nodded sadly, affirming their theory.
Minvera sobbed lightly, "I should have seen it coming, but he must have taken my memory about it!". Pomona went to comfort Minvera, "He did it all to us, Min. And he must have taken the memories of neither of the boys' pregnancies when they were carrying Bill, Charlie, Percy, and the twins...They look like so much like Gideon and Fabian!".
Cedric spoke, "Hogwarts said that they gave birth here...Gideon gave birth to Bill while Fabian gave birth to Charlie, and then there was a blood-adoption of Percy. Apparently, he was technically a orphan, and your dad blood-adopted him after his original mother died in the first war, a muggle-born, I believe. And then finally, your dad gave birth to you two.".
Fred & George looked at each other again, and then sighed, "Dad was heartbroken when Pops and Papa was killed, wasn't he?". Harry nodded, "Yeah, but he was then dosed into a love potion by Molly, forcing him to marry her. Ron and Ginny is definitely Molly's, but not your dad's.".
Severus hummed in thought, "Molly must have done it in order to grab the Prewett Fortune, but Gideon and Fabian gave it to Arthur and Bill as they must had a bit of suspicion at least.".
Minvera nodded, "That's a very good point there as Molly is someone who aims to get whatever she wants, no matter what.". Nods of agreement came all around, and Sirius then spoke, "What's gonna happen now?".
Cedric and Harry grinned, looked at each other, and spoke, "Let's have Trelawney and Binns here for the first part of the plan. Sirius, shift to Padfoot while they're here.".
Fred & George shivered slightly, "You're even more better on twin-speak even when you're soulbonded...". Little chuckles came out of the group, and Pomona spoke, "You heard them, everybody. Let's be busy tonight!".
