Harry had to admit one thing. And that was that Eldoran did great work. The massive mecha bay was perfect. It had everything they would need to fix a very wide variety of giant robots.
Luna of course kept her weird glasses on. Light reflected off the orange shades as she walked through the mech bay.
"So Eldoran been covered in the Quibbler?" Harry inquired.
"Some small pieces as he doesn't stick around much," Luna admitted.
"Yeah he's very busy," Harry commented.
Hermione stared at the room and wondered if muggle studies teacher would even have the slightest idea what this all was. Other than that possibly Londo Bell was here to stay at Hogwarts, and nothing would be the same again.
Which actually made Hermione happy as think of only one professor that actually helped Harry and boy was it weird for it to be Professor Snape of all people. Hermione was sure she won't be throwing spells at Londo Bell when they helped Harry out.
At least she hoped she won't.
While Percy Weasley was wondering if his view of the world even mattered anymore. The Headboy was not sure what to make of any of this. Plus his youngest brother had been changed since Ginny's birthday.
Ron made Charlie look slow when it came to reflexes now. He also was able to avoid the twins pranks with far more ease as well.
Ron also had been reading those guides to muggle technology Harry had made, and been trying to figure out what that charm he'd gotten was.
It was all confusing, insane, and what he'd heard from Penny that Harry's allies were helping enforce the rules.
Or just try to scare everyone Hayato Jin had given a speech to the Ravenclaws on bullying. As in to stop or he might show them what he could.
Percy did not look forward to seeing what Londo Bell would do if Harry was hurt. He was sure even Harry's more laidback friends would bring the pain.
Canard Pars was definitely not "laidback" and wondered if Harry had even more luck than Kyosuke to survive this dump. Plus have to be the only person actually resolving the problems as the teachers sure weren't worth crap.
Most would be surprised that Canard considered Harry a friend. Harry hadn't given him any grief over being a "failed" Ultimate Coordinator or for being a coordinator.
"Not sure how you can put up with these people," Canard remarked. "Seriously Harry if it isn't the students it is the teachers being the problem."
Percy knew enough about Canard to know this was him being generous. He could be a lot more angry and blunt if he wanted to be.
He didn't wish to see that first hand. Nor he wish to see Hayato Jin or Ryoma Nagare enraged.
After all Percy wanted to live.
V-V-V
Fudge was freaked out, shocked and utterly frightened by what he'd learned. The words of the Boy-Who-Lived came to mind and had come to pass.
Sending more Dementors was not an option as they'd likely be all annihilated. Having cut the DMLE budget looked like a bad idea now, and who knew what the Department of Mysteries would do if asked.
Cornelius was happy when Lucius came into his office.
"Lucius everything has gone mad!" the Minister gasped.
"I know," Lucius sighed as he sat down. "And we both know the best option we have is to negotiate with this Londo Bell."
Fudge looked very downcast that his good friend/ally didn't have any ideas to fight them he hadn't thought of.
What was the world coming to when muggles could demolish wizards and witches?
"But who would we send?" Fudge inquired as this was one weird issue.
"There is an Auror that I am loath to admit is the niece of my wife," Lucius sighed. "Given her...upbringing she should at least be able to tell which ones are in charge and which ones would annihilate our representative."
It said so much to Lucius when the daughter of the thrown out of Black Andromeda was the best option. But it was this or use Arthur Weasley and Lucius would rather drink poison than do that.
There also was the fact that Auror Tonks had also served as Dumbledore's agent over the summer that made it amusing for her to do the ministry's ambassadorial work.
And given she was a familiar face to at least one of them the more brutal Londo Bell members won't cave her skull in.
Lucius tried to once more not have terrifying visions of Bellatrix working with Hayato Jin and Ryoma Nagare. So he instead focused on thinking about Dumbledore and the position he had to be in.
V-V-V
Dumbledore wondered how he got into this position of being treated as a muggle school teacher. He knew Londo Bell was a very unique group, but he didn't expect them to be so demanding of him.
'Then again I didn't expect a member of a respected French family to command them at some point,' Dumbledore mused as the Delacour name came up in his looking into who this Eldoran was.
Once more Dumbledore had to admit the universe was way weirder than he imagined. It also made him wonder what was being done to teach magicals that had settled on other worlds or even closer to home on the Moon and the Space Colonies.
It really didn't help his nerves that the ICW was very vague on what was being done on the Moon, Mars, and Space Colonies.
Nor was the fact that the Weasley family was being much more coldly polite towards him. It was to the point it wasn't until Ronald had come to Hogwarts he became aware the lad had newtype like abilities.
And then there was everything around Harry.
Dumbledore then chuckled at the thought of anyone believing Harry had turned dark. If anything the boy was a lot more focused and like Alastor. Those sort of changes were not an issue to Dumbledore even if it was a heavier hand that he would use.
Differences like that were not an issue. After all he and Alastor were friends and their differences in approach had never gotten in the way. The issue was the horocrux in Harry's brow. A very persistent horocrux as it seemed to survive Fawkes tears and the venom in Harry's veins.
That Harry had to die to remove was not going to sit well with Londo Bell. Which was like saying the Elder Wand had some history.
Dumbledore feared what a piece of Voldemort in Harry would do. Especially learning how his main soul piece had been utterly defeated and considered merely Harry's arch nemesis. If it would kill Harry out of spite or use any number of Londo Bell's weapons to scorch the Earth before that was anyone's guess.
If Dumbledore was honest he'd have to admit that many of his actions with Harry were ones that would anger anyone that was sane and rational. The fact he made no attempt to help them on clearing Sirius's name and just gave an excuse made it clear he was to them useless.
Inwardly Dumbledore understood the need to have any school children or teens with mecha being made part of some organization as leaving on their own was a terrible idea. He just didn't like the fact his school had been made part of Londo Bell without any input from him at all.
Dumbledore nearly fell out of his chair when a part of his desk lifted up and showed a computer monitor.
Major Gilliam Yeager was on the screen. "Well Headmaster it seems that the Ministry head what happened and sent Auror Tonks to try to negotiate for them."
Dumbledore had to admit he could get used to taking calls from the comfort his chair as his knees were not made for floo calling anymore.
He also was pleased that Nymphadora had been picked to do this. Perhaps things could get to normal now.
V-V-V
Auror Tonks stared at the battered car that Coop and Lowe were studying with Professor Flitwick.
Coop knew his cars, but figured he'd need an expert on magic to figure what had been done to it.
"What in Merlin's name," Tonk muttered.
"Flying magical car," Remus commented with a shrug.
Tonks nearly jumped. "Don't sneak up on me."
"Sorry about that," Remus apologized. "Things have been completely insane this year."
"No kidding," Tonks remarked. "And I get to play ambassador."
"Well of Malfoy came here he'd be murdered instantly," Remus remarked. "And for what he got started last year...and possibly to fill in for Blue Cosmos on the vile terrorist for them to crush."
Tonks shivered as the Blue Cosmos scared her. Partly for what they were and if magic became even more known a group like it might show up trying to deal with magicals.
That was the last thing the world needed.
Though right now there were was a need to conciliate before thing went even more insane. She had no idea that was way too late.
Tonks felt like a misbehaving student as she made her way to the Headmaster's office and found things had been changed for getting in.
For one thing the grotesque often mistaken for a gargoyle was gone, and there was instead a room set up to a personal assistant or secretary meet with people and open a much more normal door to the Headmaster's office.
Tonks actually like that as it beat having to have a professor say the candy related password. And she felt Dumbledore could use a small army of personal assistants for the three full time jobs he had.
At the moment filling that task was Amuro Ray who was using the built in computers to look over the plans for making an even better Nu Gundam. Eldoran had done an incredible job upgrading Hogwarts from old castle to beyond state of the art.
Tonks had to admit she had a crush on the White Devil when she was younger.
"Ah yes Auror Tonks," Amuro stated. "We're expecting you. Though between you and me good luck getting Dumbledore to actually do anything."
"But he's Dumbledore," Tonks said surprised at that tone.
"Yes Lord of the Light and lord of sitting on his hands," Amuro sighed. "As he didn't want to do anything about the Dementors nor using his positions to get a trial set up for a man thrown into a prison with those Dementors."
"You mean Sirius Black would actually show up at this trial even if he was guilty?" Tonk gasped.
"Your aunt got a trial," Amuro noted. "That the supposed right hand man of Tom Riddle didn't get one is very odd."
Amuro sighed as Tonks stared at him. "Voldemort gets very chatty when he wants to. Or at least a piece of him did to Harry."
Amuro groaned when she shivered at the mention of that name. "Auror Tonks people don't shiver like that when the Red Comet is mentioned...and I believe he has a higher body count."
Tonks realized that actually was the case.
Amuro then snapped his fingers and the door to the headmaster's office opened.
"That's it?" Tonks asked. "It is set up like some people have to go through their video mail?"
"We're testing out the options," Amuro admitted.
"Right…" Tonks said and hurried into the office and was surprised the Sorting Hat wasn't driving around some small mech.
She noticed the various paintings weren't pretending to be asleep.
"Ah Auror Tonks it is good to see you again," Dumbledore said in good cheer.
"Thank you sir," Tonks said before sitting down in a chair in front of the Headmaster's massive desk. "Though you really aren't going to like that the Ministry is open to hearing whatever changes to Hogwart's classes that Londo Bell wants."
"They...are?" Dumbledore said surprised.
"I doubt they'll go with all of them, but it seems someone paying off Fudge did their homework on Londo Bell and know we can't win in a straight up fight," Tonks sighed.
Dumbledore didn't show it but was completely shocked Lucius would do such a thing.
"At the moment the sole demand seems to be that they are in charge of the school and I don't believe the Ministry would allow that," Dumbledore noted.
"Oh and the fact they want Sirius Black to get a trial," the Sorting Hat commented. "Can't forget that Chief Warlock."
Tonks blinked and wasn't sure what to make of the Lord of the Light not want to make sure everyone got their trial like they were supposed to.
Dumbledore was equally shocked the Sorting Hat was doing this.
"But I was to inform them that Cornelius would…" Dumbledore started before the Sorting Hat cut him off.
"Shut up!" the Sorting Hat yelled in a good imitation of Sanger Zonvolt. "You and I both know you have enough political influence and knowledge of various loopholes to get someone a trial. Unless you consider him important or that making waves would make fighting Voldemort harder….or maybe it is the fact that a Black wouldn't let you or everyone else here run roughshod over their godson!"
Dumbledore wondered what had gotten into the Sorting Hat.
"I have wanted to see the houses of this school reunite for a very long time," the Sorting Hat commented. "And it seems that all you do is talk and won't actually do the work. Londo Bell will unite the schools and probably scare them witless too."
Tonks jaw opened and closed several times as the Sorting Hat threw its support behind Londo Bell.
"And then there is the fact they are the Chosen of a Guardian Spirit of the Earth to save the planet," the Sorting Hat added. "Given the shite teaching of Binns no one here knows what that means, and how important a duty that is."
Dumbledore shivered and couldn't stop remembering the chaos, disorder, and monsters bursting out of people like they were overripe fruit. A time that hadn't happened, and yet he knew in his heart had taken place.
And the worse part was Tom had utterly nothing to do with it. In fact it was decades before he had been born.
"Even with all I know I doubt they will be enough," Dumbledore admitted.
The Sorting Hat laughed. "Oh they make the impossible possible Albus. And what you really mean is that you can't stop it and if Albus Dumbledore can't do it then it can't be done by anyone."
Dumbledore glared at the Sorting Hat as he didn't like the tone it was taking.
The Sorting Hat didn't care in the slightest as one man's ego was not important. Fair more important things had to be dealt with.
Tonks was completely floored by all this. She had no idea those Eldoran had given mecha were important like this.
"Don't worry Nymphadora," the Sorting Hat stated purposely using her hated first name. "Eldoran was able to tell me things even Londo Bell were unaware of."
"I…" Tonk said and then growled at the hat.
"Also very interesting Lucius to have the brains to avoid angering Londo Bell," the Sorting Hat snorted. "Who knew he'd actually learn to be a Slytherin?"
Tonks blinked at that.
"Trust me on this," the Sorting Hat commented. "What Eldoran has planned and the amount of trouble Londo Bell ends up will be the most fun I've had in a long time."
Both human inhabitants of the room realized that there was more to the Sorting Hat than they imagined, and that normality just took a stoner sunshine to the face.
V-V-V
Harry nearly groaned as he saw that Draco hadn't learned anything and it seemed wanted to kept on being an annoying git. He felt so much better realizing that Draco didn't see Ryoma Nagare.
"You really have done it Potty turning Hogwarts into a pig pen for….ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Draco said as Ryoma had a steel grip on his wand arm.
"Detention…."Snape yelled before literally getting hit with his godson.
Canard rolled his eyes. "Really this is what is let go on at this school?"
Asuka agreed as she'd gotten to see this. "This isn't a school. This is a playpen."
"Like some stupid muggle would know what a fine school is," Draco growled.
"I graduated college you inbred little," Asuka growled before swearing in her native tongue.
Canard helped by putting his boot to Draco's throat with a very angry and disturbed expression. "And you won't understand what I am. Hell even scientists can't figure it out."
"Get your foot off my godson," Snape growled.
That admission had Harry seeing red and people could feel the magic rolling off Harry as Canard got out of the way. He was not going to get in Harry's way.
The pair of magic users found themselves hanging in the air. Oddly Snape was glad he wasn't doing so upside down. Snape then got spit right in the face by Harry.
"I have had enough of you," Harry growled. "You bitch and moan about me when I'm sure your godson is far more like my dead father I am. You know the father I NEVER GOT TO KNOW BERK!"
'Mr. Potter you can not," Professor McGonagall yelled when Ryoma glared at her.
"You professors sure are good at being late," Ryoma commented.
"No kidding," Asuka remarked. "I doubt she'd even ask what we'd seen, or what the professor that has been a complete arschloch to Harry from day one had done this time."
"I do not need to be told how to do my job," Professor McGonagall snapped.
"And did you know the boy that annoys Harry the most is the godson of his head of house?" Ryoma asked sharply. "Actually makes me wonder if you found that out after the kid got sent into the Forbidden Forest to help deal with something killing unicorns."
Harry looked forward to seeing if he'd learn who thought that was a good idea or the head of his house would try to blow off the question. He also noted Professor McGonagall didn't like being questioned.
"That is not relevant to Mr. Potter and what he has done," the head of Gryffindor coldly stated.
"Given this all started due to the blonde brat talking smack about us," Canard commented. "To which Professor Snape here did nothing as he doesn't care what slurs his godson says."
"And then Harry found out the brat is the godson of a man that has belittled him, been a jerk to him, and weirdly the only Professor save his life once," Ryoma noted. "Supposedly something about life debts but that's all vague crap."
Professor McGonagall rubbed her forehead and inwardly cursed her coworker for this mess. And Albus as well for letting this fester as long as it had. Now she had to clean this up before Harry lost any respect or the staff and she didn't want to see what he'd cause all the other students to do.
"Mr. Potter can please let them down?" the Transfiguration teacher asked nicely.
Snape and Draco dropped with a loud thud. Canard looked ready to make it clear why the pair should stay quiet.
"Have you ever looked at Professor Snape takes points off for?" Harry asked in a disturbing calm voice. "And never has done anything about his godson being an arse to everyone. Not even in it isn't Slytherin to annoy everyone that might one day be useful."
"They really must embarrass their house," Ryoma noted. "Those that actually have cunning given those two sure lack it."
"Mister Malfoy did you honestly think insulting these people was a good idea?" the Deputy Headmistress asked in a subzero tone. "And don't expect Professor Snape to get you out of trouble this time."
"One of those savages grabbed my arm!" Draco whined and acted like it was broken.
"Kid if I broke your arm you'd know," Ryoma commented. "And I'll make it happen if you don't stop pretending."
Which made Draco stop dead in his tracks on that.
"Mr. Nagare I do not need your unique brand of assistance to know when a child is pretending to have an injury," Professor McGonagall noted. "Especially when I know if you wished to break his arm you would have done so."
She then sighed. "And Mister Potter….Harry...I am sorry that we as the staff have let you down. I told Albus the Dursleys were the worst sort of muggles."
"He spit in my face!" Snape yelled.
Minerva gave her coworker a sharp glare. "You know what? I am tired of you acting like a child younger than those that go to Hogwarts. Taking points off for breathing too loud and the like. You have made a joke of the house points system, and I know Slughorn never acted like you did."
Snape looked like he'd been slapped.
"I will handle Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter's detentions," Professor McGonagall informed Snape. "And not allow you to use the house point system as your toy anymore. I for one don't want Londo Bell to think their Major Kitamura should be put in charge for their to be some sort of order."
"And once more Potter gets his…."Snape said before having Ryoma's hand around his throat.
"This is Harry's withdrawing for your class to get a private tutor," Ryoma commented. "I believe former Professor Slughorn would bend over backwards to so."
What scared Professor McGonagall is that this was Ryoma Nagare on his best behavior. He could have killed both magic users with ease and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
"Mister Nagare the point has been made and I will take that withdrawal," Minerva sighed. "Something that should have been done a long time ago. And if Albus tries forcing them to work together I don't want him crippled."
Ryoma dropped Snape like a bad habit. He also kept a close eye on Snape as he moved back to avoid being hit with a spell.
Professor McGonagall sighed as Albus was going to be extremely annoying over this. Even more so if Harry still had that gun on him. Not that she cared given she knew Harry well enough he'd only use if he had no other options. Which happened far too often with him for anyone's liking.
Harry had some embers of hope that maybe with Londo Bell watching that the Hogwarts staff would shape up and not screw up around him again.
V-V-V
Ron Weasley had no idea what had happened to Harry as he was busy in a Burning PT simulator that was now in Hogwarts.
"I don't think he could handle piloting a Getter Jet even with his enhancements," Hayato Jin remarked as he watched how Ron was doing.
"That's not exactly a bad thing," Kai Kitamura noted.
"Just figured I'd get that out there," Hayato said with a shrug.
"We have any idea how he has the abilities of a newtype and he is not from space?" Sanger inquired. "Also how newtypes don't sense him at all in the same way they do other newtypes."
"I believe we are exploring an entirely new sort of enhancement," Hayato mused. "To go with newtypes, coordinators, psycho drivers, and the Whispered."
"And need to actually name what he has," Kai stated.
"This is something we have never seen before," Sanger commented.
"Looks like we haven't seen everything yet," Ratsel said with a chuckle.
That amused them.
While Gilliam watched Ron closely and inwardly hoped this teen won't act like a child and burn bridges or run off when his friends needed his help. While in the novels and books Ron's actions didn't have consequences Gilliam intended for their to be dire ones.
Hayato, Ryoma, Ken, and Ryo would see to that. How brutally depended on what Ron did.
Ron felt cold sweat go down his back and an urge to never anger Gilliam Yeager.
He then dodged an attack from the Vayeate. The energy blast hit the Buch Concern Building in the simulated Tokyo-3.
Ron quickly moved his Gespenst to avoid a shot from the Mercurius.
'Surprised I've managed to do this good as those things were piloted by elite pilots,' Ron thought to himself.
The weird thing was Harry only vaguely knew one of the two pilots, and never met the other one. Ron had thought Harry knew all the other irregular mecha pilots.
Ron then sidestepped and the Vayeate's cannon struck the flying shield disks of the Mercurius. He then unleashed the split missiles on the Vayeate.
He had no idea how he was going to handle defense of the Mercurius but figured dealing the Vayeate would be easier.
Ron then barely avoided being blasted and gasped as the Zeta Gundam joined the simulated fight. With the actual pilot of it in another of the simulators.
"Let's see how well your abilities do compared to a newtype," Kamile said with a grin.
The Vayeate tried to jump the Zeta,but got cut in half with a beam saber for its troubles.
Ron wasn't sure how he was supposed to even come close to facing the Zeta, but gathered his courage and in an instant knew where to fire the mega beam rifle.
Kamile's reflexes proved to as good if not better and the shot did a lot less damage than Ron intended.
Ron then tried to dodge having the head of his Gespenst being blown off by Kamile. He didn't quite pull it off and the monitors went dark.
He then heard the sound of a beam saber hitting metal and the simulation was over.
It took Ron several moments for it sink in that it was over. And also that the Zeta and its creator/pilot were really good.
Plus the fact the Gespenst was not designed to fight Gundams.
So he was glad the fight wasn't even shorter.
V-V-V
The office of the Chief Warlock could be thought of as unimportant to Dumbledore given how often he used his Headmaster's office for all his paperwork and such, but it had some perks that Dumbledore liked.
Such as a private floo to make getting between Hogwarts and the Ministry extremely easy. Something that made his wanting to fly between them last year look completely and utterly insane.
As Dumbledore used his wand to remove soot couldn't believe how many people were dismissive of him. It had been many decades since he got that kind of reaction from people. Especially people that weren't his political enemies.
"Oh Merlin...I can't believe I am going to Fudge," Dumbledore muttered as this school year already was insane.
At this point he was so rattled he didn't really care that Nymphadora heard him say that as she came out of the floo.
Dumbledore made his way with ease through the Ministry. He had been around so long he likely could do so blindfolded. Especially to the Minister's office as he had done it so many times.
Dumbledore was shocked when he was just let in and the secretary expecting him to turn up.
Once in the office Dumbledore was surprised to see the Terran League president Brian Midcrid, the UK Prime Minister James May, a teen girl, a pair of teens that looked far more dangerous and deadly than their years, and a pair of aides for at least someone meeting with Cornelius and Lucius.
Albus noticed that Lucius was keeping his distance from the pair of young men. Also that Lucius seemed to have a more sour than usual expression.
"Ah good everyone's here," President Midcrid commented with a smile.
"What is this about?" Dumbledore tried saying in the most diplomatic tone he could do. Which given he was at his wits end was not as good as he usually could do.
"This is about the whole incident with Londo Bell," Relena Peacecraft stated. "First I must apologize for their rashness as their previous encounters with the entity known as Eldoran have made it clear to not waste time finding others to use his mecha."
"They took over Hogwarts," Dumbledore groused after taking a calming breath.
"They also only have the word of three people to have the staff at Hogwarts does things," Relena countered. "None of which were encouraging to the sort of decisive action this situation requires."
"And has lead me to wonder exactly what you are telling and what is true," President Midcrid noted looking at Fudge.
Fudge looked down as he realized this man was the highest muggle authority. Something that PM May had confirmed before Dumbledore came in.
"Plus we are extremely concerned how a terrorist leader that Londo Bell in their own words 'was just kind of annoying' nearly took over the Wizarding subculture of the United Kingdom," Relena remarked.
Lucius avoided twitching at that. Frankly that incident happening and the Shin Getter unit not being there scared him.
"Especially in a society where everyone is armed," Brian Midcrid mused. "Frankly I thought we'd have the opposite problem of everyone fighting."
Dumbledore then put his best foot forward.
"Cornelius why was I not informed that the the Terran League President was coming her?" he inquired.
"Well I was to meet you as Supreme Mugwump later today, but this solves that," President Midcrid stated. "We are having a massive problem with those not of magical background gaining employment in your subculture and not doing well in the mundane world given holes in their records."
They threw Fudge, Malfoy, and Dumbledore for a loop. Of all the things to be said they didn't expect to be a social issue.
"Also the currently wraith state terrorist Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort aka You-Know-Who has attempted multiple times to murder Volunteer Ensign Potter," Brian Midcrid added.
"He is dead," Fudge countered.
"We said he is in a wraith state," Relena said clearly. "Minister no one can describe that sort of state as living."
"And furthermore you didn't think to inform me that we had a problem of a terrorist trying to find ways to make a comeback?" Prime Minister James May sharply remarked as he put down a cup of tea. "Or the fact the man who escaped your hellhole of a prison had been thrown into it without a trial?"
"He is the right hand man of You-Know-Who and everyone knew that," Fudge nearly snapped.
"And that man at your side was the left hand man of Riddle and everyone knew he bought his way out of trouble," the Prime Minister said with a snort. "Unless he wishes to use a magical oath or the magical truth serum right here and now to prove me wrong."
The tension shot up like rocket at that.
"I don't have to do anything for you muggle," Lucius snarled and realized he just got on the hit list of the four aides.
"Perhaps we should wonder exactly how upstanding a man you are," Prime Minister James May mused.
"In any case," Relena spoke up. "We have a man innocent or guilty who is one of the highest in your society thrown away and forgotten because no cared to speak up for his rights. Do any of you have any idea how disgusting that makes you all look? Even his cousin that was Riddle's right hand woman had her day in court."
"But he lead You-Know-Who to the Potters and killed thirteen people," Fudge claimed.
"What part of innocent or guilty didn't matter did you not get?" Prime Minister May growled as he was very tired of dealing with Fudge. "What he did or didn't do isn't the issue!"
That got Fudge to be quiet.
"Back to Riddle," Brian commented. "It is a serious matter that your supposedly safe school had him teach for a year, and next year something belonging to him tried to kill everyone and use a girl to give himself a new physical body. Without a word to anyone on the threat."
Dumbledore had a feeling that pointing out his being fired for a brief period on the latter won't help his case.
Lucius inwardly wondered exactly how much they knew of his involvement. With the sinking feeling Potter told them everything.
"And this is why we frankly want Londo Bell to have Hogwarts," Prime Minister May stated. "Because frankly as insane as what they get into is at the end of the day they will protect people."
"Plus we have that Dementor attack Volunteer Ensign Potter," Midcrid said with disgust. "Minister Fudge did you even think how bad an idea sticking beings that eat souls and cause depression by being around children would be?"
Prime Minister May snorted. "He just needs to be seen doing something never mind if it doesn't fix anything and instead hurts people."
"And you," the PM added and pointed at Dumbledore. "Just sat on your arse and did nothing. Doing what is right over what is easy indeed."
Dumbledore had this feeling everyone that disagreed with him was going to say that last part.
Relena brought this all back on track. "Things have not been resolved in ways we wanted and there are festering social issues not resolved by Tom Riddle's lost of physical form."
"And you believe Londo Bell will solve them?" Tonks queried as she spoke for the first time that meeting.
"In that having an independent group watching will force teachers to explain their decisions and think them through before they make them," Relena admitted.
"We have some sources that believe even having the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts won't be enough to make the staff think about what their actions say," President Midcrid noted.
Something Gilliam Yeager knew to be a fact as he had read the Goblet of Fire.
Dumbledore was amazed they were aware of the talks for the Triwizard Tournament. He wasn't aware they were having that close a look at what was going on.
He then had this feeling if that Londo Bell would be providing very tight security for the games, and still would be around Hogwarts at the time.
Dumbledore and everyone else in that office had no idea a different kind of hell was growing under their very feet.
V-V-V
In the Department of Mysteries the Unspeakables all were excited with the strange new plants they had found at Azkaban. They wondered how they had gotten there, and experimented eagerly on them.
Wards managed to keep the rapidly growing plants to a single room that they took over.
They first checked if these were weird kinds of potatoes. Which they were not. If anything they were completely alien in nature.
The Radam plants waited for the right time to strike. Soon these fools would serve them. They merely had to be patient.
V-V-V
Minerva McGonagall wasn't sure what changes in Harry surprised her the most. There also had been a great deal of them, and she knew in her heart if she handled what happened in the halls the wrong way he'd lose any and all respect for the Hogwarts staff.
She also could tell that Harry respected his superior officers in Londo Bell. As odd as many of those were.
As she had Harry working on transfiguration she was able to see who signed Harry's permission slip to go to Hogsmeade.
It certainly threw out the idea of having Harry not go there when Sirius Black himself had signed them.
Given the response Londo Bell had to threats and their pushing for Sirius to get a trial meant that Sirius was innocent.
It hit her like a rocket punch that she had let down one of her lions completely and utterly. With her not that far off with yet another of her lions as well.
Things had to change and one of them was to make sure she kept a close eye on why points were given or taken.
Somehow she won't be surprised if Londo Bell or Eldoran removed Binns to help with the next change she wanted to make.
They still weren't sure what exactly Eldoran had done to Hogwarts.
Who knew if they ever would know.
Another change was that she didn't understand was that whatever issues radar and radio had at Hogwarts were now completely gone. Though she had no idea for Londo Bell the heavy magic seemed to be working like Minovsky Particles than anything on their equipment.
At least before Eldoran fixed that with his powers.
While Harry worked silently, the same could not be said for Draco as he utterly hated being punished merely for calling those dirty muggles what they actually were.
Draco did not realize how close he'd been to having his arms broken by Ryoma Nagare. Especially given the Getter pilot knew of skelegrow so they could fit what he broke easily enough.
Draco grumbled and fumed as he was going to write his father about all this!
Harry didn't even have to look at Draco to guess what he was thinking and intending to do. To be honest after his summer he frankly didn't even care about the taunts and such from the brat. He just tried scaring Malfoy on the Hogwarts Express to see if that'd make it so the brat would leave him alone for the school year.
'Yeah guess it was too much to expect that out of him,' Harry mentally sighed.
Of course he also had the bigger issue of being able to sleep knowing his parents betrayer was in the same dorm with him. Knowing that had happened for the last two years he had been doing so at Hogwarts.
The urge to shoot Peter with his photon gun or if he couldn't pull the trigger get someone in Londo Bell that could and would end Wormtail to handle it.
Yet he needed Scabbers alive for Sirius's trial. After that he'd be able to have Sirius and Remus as his family. A odd family but a much more real one than he ever had with the Dursleys.
Harry then had the odd thought of what he could send that trio of pilots as a thank you for making his life so much better.
A less odd thought that came to him was wondering if his parents or at least his paternal grandparents had magical paintings he could talk to. With Harry annoyed that of course no one would mention that to him as that would require people to realize Boy-Who-Lived meant Parents-Who-Are-Dead.
Harry didn't blame Sirius for not mentioning it as it seemed he had to start from scratch with everything relating to the Wizarding World subculture and been busy teaching him things he should have learned years ago.
It also amused Harry imagining those paintings finding his friends weirder and weirder going from Ron and Hermione to Arado, Seolla, Shinji, Canard, and Masato.
Harry made a mental note to find out exactly how much stuff the Potter family had as well as the Black family given he was Sirius's heir for all everything he won't give to Remus and the Tonks family.
'I just hope that whatever I get includes the family paintings as even if it was just one of Sirius's mother it'd be fun to go Shu on her and show her exactly what those without magic can do...or what paint remover is,' Harry mused.
Harry just hoped that he'd eventually learn all the things he should have learned way before going to Hogwarts as he was tired of feeling behind or not told things he should have been told.

The Frontier IV space colony still was recovering from the damage that the Radam and Tekkaman Dagger had caused. They hadn't been gentle in getting in and what they had done once they had gotten inside.
Seabook Arno was glad life was going back to normal when suddenly there was a loud snapping noise in an alley.
"Where are we?" he heard one teen ask.
"I think more like...what in Merlin's name!?" another teen gasped as he saw they weren't on Earth.
"Well I think the plan just went to shite," a female teen groused.
Seabook had this feeling he should run away from the trio.
In the alley Delphini wondered how badly the two idiots screw up and if she'd even be able to help her father take over the world.
What she nor Albus or Scorpius noticed was that the guts of their time turner were completely melted. They had no way of getting back to when and where they had come from.
