The Curse Gets Worse
It had been Six days since the events of Halloween night and things were a bit intense since Yzma gave her report to everyone at Hogwarts and to the people who needed to know like Abigail Bones, the Vice Chairwoman of the Hogwarts Board of Governors and her husband Jubal Bones Chief of Staff of the ICW and Lord Milton Perkins, Mentor of the British Branch of the Assassin Brotherhood, Yzma's own husband Ezio Milano Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports and his sister Claudia Borsari the new head of the International Confederation of Wizards and her husband Lord Borsari, which was why on the evening of the Sixth Day of November Yzma was holding court in an Assassin Den with the rest of the Master Assassins and other important People which included the Department of Magical Covert Operations, Members of MI6 and MIX.
"Okay everyone listen up, considering my audience I'm going to be straight to the point," Yzma said to her audience as everyone gave her their full attention, "The last thing I wanted to do was to bring worse news of this level upon all of you this quickly but we need to prepare for the worst in the event that I fail my challenge."
"And that is why you're the finest Defense Professor Hogwarts has ever see," Moody spoke, "But get to the point. I know you didn't call us here for a social call."
"I didn't and to get to the point I'll have our guest Tana show us what I'm about to explain," Yzma said gesturing the Greek Goddess of Time to do just that and in full and complete detail, "What you're about to see is not for the faint of heart and it may just enrage you."
Everyone present saw all that had happened across the planet and the root cause of all that had happened as well as the recent virus outbreak and the problems Alaric Bones was facing due to Umbridge and Malfoy literally whispering things into Fudge's ears from both sides not to mention the worst-case scenario should Yzma fail her challenge yet for some reason the scenarios in which Yzma won her challenge were somehow being blocked.
"As you can see this is what's been going on as of late," Yzma explained.
"And I thought the Arkeyan Empire rampaging all across the earth and them ruling the entire universe was bad enough considering they wiped out an entire dimension and every star planet and galaxy in said dimension but this is beyond anything I could have imagined," said the Chairman of MI-X, "And I thought the prejudice of Magical Britain was bad enough. The Potter Family is doing what they can to reverse that but should they fail and things reach boiling point and the Arkeyan Empire decided to outright destroy the earth then we don't stand a chance."
"Are the Arkeyan Weapon Masters really that strong?" A member of MI6 asked, "Seriously?"
"I'm afraid so or did you not see the Arkeyan Empire destroy an entire dimension along with every single star planet and galaxy in said dimension?" said Tana showing the Arkeyans having done exactly that to Planet Aridia and every star planet and galaxy in it's dimension, "Still the Arkeyan Empire Bylaws forbid them from just conquering territory on a whim. Their bylaws state that they are to only attack and or conquer if they were the ones that had been dishonored in any way shape or form. In any case the Arkeyan Empire prefer to explore and expand their empire and most of the time protect those who are being bullied or dishonored."
"At least they've got that going for them," said a female member of MI-X, "For a moment I thought they were just like the Nazis but I can see now they are much different than that."
"Still they have the expanding part covered as we can see considering their infrastructure is quite developed for them to have an intergalactic and dimensional empire that's lasted for over ten thousand years," Olivia Mansfield better known as M and Professor Minerva McGonagall's sister spoke, "Then again that would explain all the recent upgrades the transport systems all across the planet got after the first world war and the massive improvements made after the second world war. Standardization is vital for them and Arkeyan efficiency and engineering makes German efficiency and engineering look primitive."
That was an understatement since the Arkeyan Empire often had to fix the mess caused by the incompetence or inability of Earth's own governments to enforce their own laws as stated in the constitutions. The one thing that was accomplished was that all the muggle governments in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia somehow had to put the Truth Will Out Bill as a permanent bill created so that the people in charge wouldn't feel embarrassed that the Arkeyan Empire was doing their jobs for them yet again and making them look bad in the process yet again and naturally all the schools in the muggle world got with the program only due to not wanting the Arkeyans to use brute force and basically take over the earth just like they took over the universe.
"Perhaps we should let the Arkeyan Weapon Masters handle things once the Malfoy Family's protection finally expires or once Yzma wins her challenge," the muggle mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood spoke even thought they didn't know he was the non-magical mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood nor did those outside the Assassin Brotherhood knew that, "After all we've seen how the Arkeyan Empire does things and crush anyone foolish enough to cross them or need I remind you lot of what happened in Rwanda or the Second World War or the race riots and lynchings not to mention what happened on September 11 of last year? Those were all messes that we ended up having to call upon the Arkeyans to fix due to the incompetence of the world's governments."
"I'm well aware of that Mr. Reid," M said to the man known as Mr. Reid, "But perhaps you forget the mass collateral damage and the devastation the Arkeyans tend to leave in their wake over even the smallest of offenses."
"The Arkeyan Empire does not take insults or lip from anyone and the Arkeyans will eliminate entire clans of all those stupid enough to cross them," The Chairman of MI-X replied, "MI-X was created to counter the mess in Magical Britain but I'm not sure that even we can stand up to the full power and fury of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters. We have enough problems already and the Chief of Staff of the British Ministry of Magic has told the Prime Minister what's been going on and needless to say the PM is ticked off as the casual disregard that Fudge shows to anyone without magic."
"Fortunately the Chief of Staff is much more understanding and competent," a member of MI-X said, "The thing is we may have to let the Arkeyan Weapon Masters do what it is they do best."
"We may not have to do that," Yzma said, "Lord Perkins' Big older sister Myra has issued a challenge to Cornelius Fudge and she has the right to do so considering she has Arkeyan DNA in her."
"Another Challenge for Position duel?" Olivia asked annoyed, "Is brute force and strength by the weapons the only way the Arkeyan Weapon Masters solve all of their problems?"
"Ten Thousand Years ago yes and the Arkeyans don't change their strategies or bylaws unless they have to and so far it's worked for them for the last ten thousand years," Tana said.
"So what's the challenge for position as Minister for Magic duel and what are the requirements?" Olivia asked.
"The bylaws for the challenge for the position of Minister of Magic duel state that only an Arkeyan is allowed to make the challenge and that the challenger in question has to be a native of the country they want to challenge to be minister," Yzma said, "In laymen's terms only somebody born in Britain can challenge the current minister for their position as the British Minister for Magic. That's how the Arkeyans managed to get Nobby Leach in as Minister for Magic despite him being a muggleborn and they had faith in him."
"Yeah before he got an illness that forced him out of office too soon," Tana said, "I know who was behind that and why but anyway we can let Myra challenge Fudge and should she win she can get rid of him and either take the position for herself or select somebody of her choice to take the job. Knowing Myra I think we need to worry about the candidate she has in mind to lead considering the pureblood elite in power will eliminate everyone who Myra thinks is worthy to lead especially if they're muggleborn or have creature blood."
"Okay and I take it there's a second challenge involved?" Mr. Reid asked.
"There is a second challenge involved," the Greek Goddess of Time and Chronicling said, "Like all the other challenge for position duels a second challenge can be made on the same day and after that no other challenges can be made for the position of Minister of Magic for one year. Anyway let's get to the next order of business."
"Yes reports about the Dragon Booster, Crescent Booster, and the Grand White Witch have been good lately," said a member of MI6, "Reports state that a lot of the swamp known as Knockturn Alley is starting to dry out thanks to the intervention and collection of Evidence due to the Dragon Booster, Crescent Booster and the Grand White Witch. The Department of Magical Covert Operations has been using that evidence to help in the investigations of the Ministry Employees as of late and once Yzma's challenge ends and the right Bill is put in they'll be able to make many arrests."
"Then I had best call another meeting before I get back to Hogwarts," said Yzma, "I've got to get the Power Team ready for the assembly this weekend. Hogwarts really needs it and we need to break the curse on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor or find a way to protect the teachers who take the post. I'm only unaffected by the curse for reasons that while legal are too sensitive to state for the time being."
"That explains why the Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts has managed to remain top notch despite the curse," said M, "And why nearly all of your assistants come from either Beauxbatons or Mahoutokoro. They hardly know how to deal with Jinxes Hexes and Curses but they are at least skilled enough to defend themselves against Dark Creatures and you've also been giving them a lot of training in the process."
"That it does but even so after what's happened lately with Lockhart around I'll need to find a replacement and fast since Albus and I are running out of both time and options," said Yzma.
The group then ended the meeting on that note as Yzma left to take care of some final pieces of business before she returned to Hogwarts thanking the sweet lord above that Felix was covering for her while Duncan was supporting Charity Burbage in Non Magical Studies while Yuzu and Pele were filling in for Duncan as Electra had gotten a lung infection somehow and needed to go see a Dragon Handler at once to have that looked at. She was also fortunate that Professor Horace Slughorn agreed to return to Hogwarts to teach potions. Unfortunately Yuzu and Pele had somehow gotten on the Arkeyan Empire's bad side far too many times which put them on the outs and them becoming targets of anyone wanting to get into the Empire's good books by defeating them which meant that neither Yuzu nor Pele could return to their homes or see their families or clans anytime soon which really hurt and to Yzma it really wasn't fair. Of course Yzma couldn't voice this out loud considering she was on thin ice with the Arkeyans as it was due to the mistakes caused by the main British branch of the Gaunt Family.
'I do hope and pray that Myrtle hasn't done anything stupid, dangerous or reckless by now,' Yzma thought as she went to go and get the Power Team for the assembly, 'one of the Ravenclaws in the same year as Abraham Potter is Owen Hornby grandson of Olive Hornby so that could cause serious problems considering that he's Olive's favorite grandson from what I've heard the rest of his siblings say. Since I have business to finish, Filius had to deliver news to the Edgecombe family about how their daughter Mara has gotten very close to Amelia's son Rosco Bones of Ravenclaw and they think Amelia Bones is still human and has Grimsley as her husband.'
Yzma giggled at that thought knowing that the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was a Kitsuni-Tsuki due to living with a Youko and an Inari and that like her cousin's spouses she'd given in to the urge to bear many children for her husband Grimsley.
'Anyway, the Bones, McKinnon, and Prewitt families have come quite a long way since the last wizarding war but I can think about that latter,' Yzma thought as she continued her task, 'Right now I need to hurry and focus. Time is running out and I also have to find a replacement for Lockhart and fast not to mention find a quartet of replacement assistants and fast.'
Yzma giggled at that as the one thing she loved doing was paring up the children of pureblood bigots or problem employees at the ministry with incubi or monster girls to rub it in their faces and teach them to open their eyes and their minds.
Little did Yzma know that by the time she returned to Hogwarts things were about to change and that for the first time the balance of power would shift to the side of the forces of light.
In the Potter Apartment the Potters along with their respective spouses and friends were talking about what Yzma said about the Chamber of Secrets and the monster that was lurking in wait to eliminate the muggleborns and the monster girls. From what Yzma said the monster was a basilisk which meant that instant death was in store for anyone who looked the beast in the eyes directly but the good news was that the basilisk's stare would cause petrification via indirect eye contact which meant they would still be alive somewhat.
"Okay so let's discuss what's going on," Harry said to his family and friends, "Zeus what's going on in Hufflepuff House? I can only guess Hera has her hands more than full as do the other Hufflepuff House Prefects, not to mention Jocky, Cedric, Haytham Abbot and his wife Enya. I can safely guess that it's quite stressful down in the basement."
"You have no idea how right you are Harry," Zeus Potter spoke, "I had to help the prefects calm the younger students down and answer some questions that they were unable to answer about the situation occurring. You would not believe how backwards Hogwarts is compared to Ilvermorny in terms of the education and the bylaws especially the bylaws governing discipline. Thank the sweet lord above that cousin Duncan and aunt Margaret Rosenblatt have done something about that by encouraging Abigail Bones to put in the Truth Will Out Bylaw. It's been quite a big help and the reason why Ilvermorny never had to deal with such incompetence when it came to implementing discipline upon blood purists bigots with money and power. Unfortunately the students here are still too afraid to talk."
"Somehow I'm not surprised the Hufflepuffs are afraid to invoke the Truth Will Out By Law. They won't invoke it as long as the curses upon this planet are still active and then there's the threat of the Malfoy Clan and who knows who else is backing them which brings us to our next topic," Daisy said annoyed before continuing, "Ginny told me and Abby that the entire Pureblood Conservative faction currently in power are doing everything they can to hinder Alaric and make sur that only people to their liking are getting anywhere in the Ministry and by that I mean people whose world view leans heavily in one certain direction. Basically Ginny heard her dad and our aunt Christina talking at the Burrow and basically that means that Malfoy and Umbridge are telling Fudge to make sure Alaric only hires and promotes anyone and everyone who shares Malfoy and Umbridge's beliefs in Pureblood Supremacy and promote only people who share Umbridge's world view."
"Please tell me Alaric is not doing what those bigots are trying to force him to do," Hera asked annoyed, "He's done well so far as a leader and minister."
"Technically he isn't the minister yet but he's proving he's competent and he's not listening to Umbitch or the cowards Duncan perfectly describes the Malfoy family as," Abby said unaware that she just triggered the taboo style curse upon the planet, "Alaric's following the Power Team's advice as well as Duncan's advice because he knows Duncan will eliminate whatever is sent after him even if he's somehow killed in the process and by he I mean Alaric. Still the Ministry's newest department is making lots of progress but it won't mean squat unless the Truth Will Out Bill is passed. That bill is pretty much our only chance at making Magical Britain a much fairer environment and our only chance at fixing the mess left at the end of the first wizarding war."
"Then why hasn't the bill been passed by now?" Charlus asked.
"Due to this being Yzma's challenge no new bills are allowed to be passed until the challenge is officially over," Carol spoke, "Our people really worded the challenge byalws effective but they left no room to make any adjustments in terms of legal bylaws and the like. The one saving grace is the dual citizenship trial bill. That bill states that anyone with dual citizenship is allowed to have one bill from their homeland applied to the British Ministry if they are tired before the Wizengamot. Basically, if an American such as Duncan or Dallas Prewitt were to be accused of breaking the statue of secrecy and tried before the Ministry then they'd have to apply a bill from the MACUSA of their choice to the case."
"I guess the Arkeyans wanted consistency for the challenge and so Yzma would not get confused," Wendell spoke before noticing that the guests from the other houses had been mostly silent, "Cho, you and Phaedra haven't said much yet. Is it because you fear retaliation form your housemates and fear retaliation upon your families even with Duncan Rosenblatt here with us?"
"You all have to understand that my family wasn't in a strong position due to the mistakes our ancestor Perseus Parkinson made as Minister of Magic. One of which was trying to pass a bill that would've made it illegal to marry a person with no magic. Basically it would've been Magical Britain's version of Rappaport's Law that nearly got passed if the Arkeyan Weapon Masters hadn't intervened," Phaedra said, "Basically he failed and was thrown right out of office in 1733."
"That's rough considering the Arkeyans tend to hold the mistakes of an entire clan against the descendants of said clan," Verity spoke knowing a little about Yzma's ancestors, "And the Potter Family have all been revealed to have Arkeyan DNA according to our blood inheritance tests."
"Yep and there's more, Phaedra do you want to continue or should I finish telling them what you told me?" Charlus asked Phaedra.
"I think it's best you tell them considering most of your housemates have issues with me," Phaedra spoke.
"Very well," Charlus said as he picked up where Phaedra left off, "My wife to be Phaedra mentioned that her family the Parkinsons ended up like the main British branch of the House of Gaunt minus the inbreeding. Basically they were socially marginalized and impoverished until the 1940s."
"Ironically this had the effect of keeping us out of the mess of the 1st wizarding war and the Global Wizarding War which the Arkeyans ended up having to fix the damage caused by said wars," Phaedra said finishing up, "Either way now that I'm bound to my husband to be Charlus Potter the stuck up Pureblood Rich Families can't call us names or insult us by saying we're nouveau riche and the like or the Arkeyan Weapon Masters will take that as an insult. Still that may not be enough to stop my housemates from trying. Pansy tells my parents that she thinks Charlus is a bad influence on me because I hang around Muggleborns and Monster Girls or in Pansy's exact words Mudbloods and Subhuman freaks."
"If anything, Malfoy is a bad influence on Pansy," Abraham Potter said, "Look at the company he surrounds himself with. They're blood purist bigots who are small minded insecure idiots that are deathly afraid of loosing what they've deluded themselves into thinking is rightfully theirs and fearing the end of their so called rightful way of life. And the sad part is while Charlus has seen this mostly in Slytherin House I have seen some jerks in Ravenclaw House that are just as obnoxious."
At that point, Hera, Phaedra and the Potters all looked at Cho Chang the resident Ravenclaw who was present for an explanation considering she had been sorted into Ravenclaw for the past 2 years and knew what went on in there.
"Unfortunately, my husband to be is right about that," Cho spoke, "While my family are worried about the Ministry and Alaric they do believe in him and have complete confidence in Yzma's victory in her challenge. It's a shame that Marietta unfortunately doesn't have that same confidence."
"Who pray tell is this Marietta and why haven't any of us seen her?" Victor Potter asked confused, "What is she like? And how would Abraham know about her if he was sorted into Gryffindor?"
"You want to tell them Abraham?" Cho asked her husband to be, "They trust you more than they trust me."
"Long story short Cho considers Marietta Edgecombe to be her best friend but I've spoken to Cho's housemates and my in laws whenever I visit Ravenclaw Tower," Abraham said, "And from what I've been able to make out Marietta's an arrogant, self-centered, prima donna. I've seen how she treats others in her own house namely Luna Lovegood and her year mates. She's even been making snide remarks about Isolt Cooper. I swear she's worse than the Slytherin Purebloods I've heard about. No offense to present company of course."
"None taken Abraham," Phaedra said, "Draco Malfoy was bad enough and his cousin Nathan Lestrange is just as bad but with Armand leading Malfoy's gang they're worse than before much sneakier, more cunning, and more subtle and they've gotten stronger since nasty things have happened to anyone fool enough to cross them or rumor says. Draco would be bragging about but Armand's been keeping him in check."
"Back to Marietta though she's a sweet girl though but even though she's my friend my siblings ask why she couldn't be like her twin sister Mara," Cho said, "She's sweeter, nicer, much more refined and she treats the younger students like her younger siblings hence why she wears a Ravenclaw blue jacket with Hufflepuff lining and she even told me that the Sorting hat considered her for Hufflepuff at first and sometimes wonders if she should've been sorted to Hufflepuff only so people don't confuse her for her twin."
"Funny the only sweet Edgecombe girl in Ravenclaw House Patty and her husband to be Nolan have seen so far is her twin sister Mara," Russell said, "They've spoken to Luna and it took a lot of coaxing but they managed to get Luna to tell them that Marietta has been bullying her to her face such as calling her names, insulting her and jinxing her right to her face when she can get away with it. Behind her back however it's worse. She's stolen and hidden her items and she's even vanished her clothes leaving her underpants exposed for all to see. Patty and Nolan had to use the summoning charm to find Luna's items and they've reported this straight to cousin Duncan. They would've asked Mara but Mara didn't want to get involved because she's afraid of retaliation from her twin sister and the senior undersecretary. We really need our other relative back here but they're currently at Durmstrang supporting Zayden Lestrange on their undercover mission and giving us information on what goes on in there. Once Zayden's mission is complete they'll be coming back here to Hogwarts to finish their final years."
"Anyway, on a different note Christian wanted your help with something that his father found in the Lestrange Vault in Gringotts when he was given ownership of the place," Abraham said presenting a box with runes on it before opening said box revealing that it contained a golden cup with a badger engraved upon the cup itself, "He thinks it's probably dangerous but either way Christian hopes that you can help do something about it."
"We'll talk to Professor Milano about that when she returns but back to the issue of Marietta I still can't believe she hasn't targeted anyone in our year group in Ravenclaw by now," said Charlus, "And by our year group I mean the students in the same year as Harry, Payson and Myself. What's going on?"
"Perhaps Marietta is up to something big or perhaps she's taking a backseat to let somebody else handle things," suggested Payson, "Or Perhaps she's afraid of Trixie and the humiliation she will hand her like she did to Wyvern, Sevenstone, and the girl with horrible acne in the year above us. Trixie made them the laughing stocks of the school for most of the previous school year and she did the same to Malfoy and Lestrange when she found out what happened with the mess that caused Abigail Bones to storm the castle and impale Filch on the spot in front of the entire student body and the faculty to drive home the point that the Arkeyan Empire does not mess around nor do they take child endangerment lightly. Trixie will even do the same to anyone who crosses her or her relatives."
"Who is Trixie and why do I get the feeling that she is not somebody to cross just like I get the feeling that Professor McGonagall is not somebody to cross?" Abigail Potter asked remembering seeing Professor McGonagall.
"Trixie is a 2nd Year Ravenclaw in the same year as Harry Potter and she's the eldest daughter of Amelia Bones and her husband Grimsley," said Abraham, "I only know of her parents and the relatives I've seen in classes like her older brother Rosco Bones of Ravenclaw, and her older cousins Kasiya and Nevin Bones and Margaret Perkins of Gryffindor, and Malcolm Bones of Hufflepuff. They're all in the same the same year as I am and I've worked with them in class from time to time and we've talked. Rosco's on the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team but he never told me what position he plays and you already know about Maggie, Kasiya, and Nevin as the Reserve Gryffindor Seeker, Beater, and member of the Dragon Racing Team respectively. Which brings us to Malcolm. He's on one of the teams as well but I don't know which Hufflepuff Team he is on. As for Trixie I'm not sure Cho can tell you anymore about her than I can but her younger brother who is in the same year as Trixie can explain a bit more about her at any rate or we could get Kasiya, Nevin, and Maggie in here to explain."
"We have no need to do that," Russell said, "Jocky told me, Nolan, and Bret about Trixie and perhaps it's best that I show you via Tana's power what he explained to us."
Russell set up the projector and the group in the Potter Apartment saw via Tana's power as the Greek Goddess of Time and Chronicling what Jocky and his relatives said about Trixie Bones. They could see that Trixie Bones looked a lot like her cousin Susan Bones only she looked to be a cup size smaller but she had a bigger cuter and sexier rear end and a similar figure to her cousin to boot.
"That explains why all eyes were on Trixie Bones during the Sorting Ceremony last year with most of the male students having their eyes glued to her ass. I could see most of the girls smacking their boyfriends up side the head," Verity said as the scene the group saw showed Trixie being sorted into Ravenclaw House with her uniform robes turning Ravenclaw blue with Slytherin Green lining before she took a seat at the Ravenclaw table, "Oh look here comes one of the good parts the part where Rain Lovegood says that Trixie is not somebody you want to provoke."
Sure enough one of the scenes showed the Ravenclaw and Slytherin 1st years in a double transfiguration class and Trixie having turned a match into a needle on the first try showing that she had some talent in the subject. Draco Malfoy, Nathan Lestrange and their gang made a snide remark only for Trixie to glare at them and plot revenge for said snide remark. The scene shifted ahead to lunch showing that Trixie filled the goblets belonging to Draco Malfoy, Nathan Lestrange and their gang with a fast acting laxative. The laxative didn't take long to activate as the guys practically rushed out of the Great Hall to find a bathroom which Trixie pointed them right to only it was the girls bathroom on the ground floor and somehow everyone could see the event in the Great Hall itself. Trixie was feeling proud of herself while keeping a straight face before she headed out and as she did she was accosted by Four Slytherin girls. Two of them were third year Slytherins with one being a weedy girl with glasses and the other being masculine, the third was a 2nd year with horrible acne on her face and the last was a fourth year with blonde hair that looked like somebody that her older relatives mentioned. One thing Trixie did know about them was that they all came from Pure Blood Supremacist families and they could be outright nasty to anyone who dared to cross them.
"Oh dear this could get ugly," Abigail Potter said, "I can't watch this. Trixie's run into Wyvern, Sevenstone, Ciella and Ember Rowle all of whom are Pure Blood Supremacists. Isolt told me that her siblings and cousins mentioned them."
"Remind me to chew them out when this is over," said Duncan growling at what could possibly unfold.
"No need cousin Trixie's much tougher than she looks and she has no fear," said Russell. "Just watch."
Sure enough the four Slytherins on screen tried to do what bullies like them do best, threaten Trixie into submission with Sevenstone being the most menacing as she had a beater's club in hand and was ready to pound Trixie but the 1st year Ravenclaw refused to yield.
"What's going on here?" said a male voice causing the girls to see a 5th year Male Slytherin prefect wearing white silk gloves and glaring at his housemates.
"Pyrites what an unexpected surprise," Wyvern said sheepishly as Sevenstone hid the Beater's club behind her.
"Save it Wyvern!" snapped the Prefect known as Pyrites, "You four come from conservative pureblood families as do I so you should know what people in those circles think about Physical Violence. They look down upon physical violence except in quidditch and more recently Draconium Dragon Racing. Leave now or I will be docking points and assigning detention to the lot of you."
Sevenstone, Ember Rowle, Ciella, and Wyvern left but glared at Trixie Bones before Pyrites left as well and Trixie was alone before the bell rang which meant it was time for class.
The residents of the Potter Apartment were shocked and surprised at what they had just seen.
"Am I the only one who saw that?" Daisy asked, "You all saw that right?"
"Yes Daisy we saw that but we find it hard to believe that a Slytherin Prefect stepped up to the plate and actually did their job instead of looking the other way," Zeus said, "And he fact that he's currently in the same year as myself and Russell is more surprising but rumor has it that Pyrites is the son of a Death Eater who accompanied Voldemort to Godric's Hollow on the night that he murdered Aunt Lily and Uncle James in cold blood."
"Yet nobody even know about Pyrites until now which is odd and says a lot about how weak the Ministry of Magic was then even with Bagnold in charge and how it's gotten even weaker now that Fudge has taken office," Hera added still shuddering from the word Voldemort, "Even so where is Trixie and what are we going to do about You Know Who should he return and rebuild his armies?"
"Trixie told Jocky who told me that she was meeting up with Myrtle to talk about some stuff and she wanted to talk to Princess Druella about something else," Russell said, "As for what we do about the forces of darkness we support Yzma and make sure she wins her challenge and survives. Once that's done Duncan can step in and kick Kai's ass and we can go full force on him and his empire."
The team understood as they knew that supporting Yzma was their only hope but there was one other question that needed to be answered.
"And what of the Dragon Booster, the Crescent Booster and the Grand White Witch?" Phaedra asked, "The Daily Prophet's been saying a lot about them as of late."
"For the time being the Dragon Booster, the Crescent Booster and the Grand White Witch are the only hope we have at disrupting Kai Malfoy and his organization or at the very least slowing it down. Word is that they answer to what is right and just and will deliver real justice upon those who evade it," Verity said, "As for the Daily Prophet a new employee is starting but Abigail Bones feels it tis too soon to promote them or let them become a field reporter yet despite their qualifications. Personally I think Rita Skeeter is likely going to go to Fudge and Umbridge and rat the new guy out to them which in turn will mean Malfoy will know about it and send somebody to kill them if they are a threat to Rita Skeeter's place in the Prophet."
"Well whoever the new guy is we better be able to protect them," Carol said, "They are the only hope we have so far at getting the Daily Prophet's reputation back on track."
"Carol's right but on the other hand the new guy is selling his stories to the Quibbler and that's making some progress thanks to Cloud Lovegood giving the article to those he trusts," Payson added, "Cloud's very calm and serious and people know that he wouldn't be handing something for them to read if it didn't hold any grain of truth."
The group agreed with Carol and Payson's comments as they all went to get some sleep considering Yzma would be returning tomorrow and the real challenge would begin.
In another part of the Castle Trixie Bones and Myrtle were chatting as they were on their way to visit Druella so as to ask her for her help in getting the boys they had their eye on.
"Myrtle are you absolutely sure you want to do this," Trixie said as Myrtle told her about the boy she had her eye on, "You do know the guy you want is Owen Hornby, Olive Hornby's favorite Grandson and his dad is the only one of Olive's kids to stay in Britain after having gone to Ilvermorny. All the others stayed in America after finishing Ilvermorny due to how progressive Ilvermorny and the MACUSA is. Not to mention Owen is already in a Betrothal Contract with Marietta Edgecombe. Not that I'm scared of her but there's the issue of the fact that you're currently a regular ghost."
"I love him, Trixie," Myrtle cried. "I don't know or care why, I just do! He makes my unsubstantial heart feel full and warm again! I haven't felt anything even close to that since before I died. I just hope Professor Druella can really help me. But if she can, and Olive Hornby doesn't like it, then she can just come here and TRY to stop me herself, if she dares after what she did to me all those years ago! Besides, monster girls are exempt from Betrothal Interference Laws due to their nature and protections from the GFMC."
"That they are, Miss Warren," the beautiful, lustrous voice of Druella said as the girls turned the corner toward the Demon Princess' office; not expecting to practically run into her in the hallway! "Is there something I can help you lovely ladies with?" she winked.
"Actually, yes Myrtle and I have some boys that we want to claim for our own but there is an Issue," Trixie said, "Myrtle is a Ghost and I'm not sure what I am but I can see fox ears and a tail whenever I look in a mirror or something that shows my reflection and it's the same with my mom Amelia Bones and my sisters. Can you help us?"
"Of course I can help you," Princess Druella spoke as she guided them to the quarters she was sharing with her husband Baniti before inviting them to sit on the bed with her.
"Okay so about my ears and tail I'm the only one who can see them when I look in a mirror but when I talk to the boy that I like he tells me that he can see my ears and tail and the thing is I don't want to scare him away," Trixie spoke. "I can also see ears and tail made of energy on my sisters and my mother Amelia Bones."
"From what you've described it sounds like you are a Kitsune-tsuki and so is your mother and so are your Sisters," Druella spoke before explaining, "They're human women that have been fused with a Kitsune-bi and have become monsters. You're basically a monster girl much like your cousin Jocky's wife Chizuko."
"Okay but what is a Kitsune-bi?" Trixie asked.
"The Kitsuni-bi a monster born when vast amounts of lust from the presence of a youko or an inari," the Demon Princess continued, "And considering that you and your family live in the same manor as your aunts and uncles I'm gonna assume that's how your mom became a Kitsuni-tsuki and how she managed to entice your father. Either way considering that your uncle Alaric is married to a Youko named Minako and your uncle Eric is married to an Inari named Haruna respectively they've been teaching your mother Amelia about the joys of being a Kitsuni Tsuki and how to act like an Inari during the day and how to act like a Youko at night in bed with your father."
"Yep which explains why I have so many siblings and cousins and I wouldn't trade it for the world," said Trixie. "We're like one big family."
"I would love to be part of a family again," said Myrtle with a sigh, "And I know I should be grateful that Yzma and her husband Ezio took me in and allow me to call them mom and dad considering my own mom and dad probably moved on to the next world by now but sometimes."
"Sometimes it's no replacement for your own family," Druella said, "Nobody can ever replace somebody else's mother or father."
"You're right considering that I grew up as the only child of a director and an actress and growing up I knew about the film industry and offered to answer questions about movies and the like and I would've done well in the film industry," Myrtle said, "Unfortunately considering my untimely demise at the hands of Tom Riddle and the Basilisk I'm unable to grow up and have children or live those dreams."
"Perhaps I can help," Druella said, "I can turn you into a monster girl. A phantom to be precise. As a Phantom you can freely touch him or let him touch you and physical objects so you can fuck him without any issues how does that sound?"
"I love it and Trixie and I will devise a plan but we'll need to head back to Ravenclaw tower it's getting late," Myrtle spoke.
"No need," Druella said, "You both are welcome to spend the night in my quarters. It'll be easier for me to do the monsterization that way if you want and I can personally tutor the both of you in the joys of sex so I can teach you how to suck the cocks of the boys you love most."
Trixie and Myrtle both agreed to stick around and get some private lessons much to Druella's delight considering she and Margaret Rosenblatt taught Sex Ed Class in the Sex Ed Hall that the Arkeyans had created long ago for that purpose. Druella and Margaret also planned to teach the students about Sex Ed by year instead of only two houses per year group now that she got an idea of how the classes were and how many friendships were forming across the house lines and some of which were emerging from Slytherin as they were fixing the damage caused by the bigoted bullies.
After the discussion of the nature of herself, her mother, and her sisters Trixie and Myrtle devised a plan as Druella allowed them to stay in her quarters for the night considering that as a Monster Girl and a ghost respectively Trixie and Myrtle were both at risk of getting attacked by the basilisk.
"Well this is unexpected huh Myrtle," Trixie said as she got changed, "We're in a professors quarters for the night and you're about to get one step closer to what we both want. The only question is how we go about getting Owen Hornby and the boy I want to notice us?"
"Before I answer that we have something else to talk about," Myrtle said, "Myra has returned and you know what that means. A lot of beatings and a lot of full hospital beds."
"Yep and if only great aunt Abby had half the backbone that Myra has and the fearsome reputation to match then things would be a lot different," Trixie said, "Either way I can't wait to see cousin Trondo's great aunt Myra kick Malfoy's ass off the board of Governors once Yzma's challenge is over and pound Varis into the ground. Varis and the Malfoys are cowards hiding behind the Arkeyan bylaws because they're afraid of organized opposition and fear real justice like all the other bigoted wimps."
"You have a lot of nerve to say that Trixie and yet you have no problem with me visiting you and your dorm mates in the girls showers and neither do your female cousins for that matter," Myrtle said to Trixie, "At least you don't freak out like some of the other girls do when I showed up naked in the showers after all."
"True but perhaps you can pop in and tail Mara's twin sister Marietta," Trixie said, "Either way Druella said she'd help us tomorrow so we've got to plan this right. Yzma returns tomorrow so that means we have to be ready for anything."
Myrtle nodded as she snuggled into the bed Druella provided for her and Trixie so as they could get some rest in preparation for Yzma's return.
At the same time Yzma was having a word with Myra who had just shown up and the rest of the DMCO and the British Branch of the Assassin Brotherhood better known within the organization as the Kingsman Assassins. Only the more prominent members heard this but they were joined by some members of the group whom Yzma didn't address earlier as well as some MEGTAF agents knowing that Yzma would have to debrief them.
"Alright everyone listen up," Yzma said, "I've called this meeting because Myra has the Star Saber and the Forge of Solus in her possession. That means we can finally tip the balance of power in our favor. I don't need to spell out why Myra is not somebody to cross."
Everyone present knew Myra's reputation as the lieutenant of the Stealth Squad and right hand sorceress of the leader of the Stealth Squad, Governess Kira the leader of the Phantom Arkeyans, the most fearsome Arkeyan Sorcerers in the universe which meant that Kira herself was the most fearsome Arkeyan Governess and third only to her Grandmother Agatha in the Imperial Guard. The fact that Myra was mentored by Agatha of the Arkeyan Empire's imperial guard said a lot since Agatha wasn't known to take on apprentices that often and that Agatha herself was a student at Durmstrang at the same time that Gellert Grindelwald was. In fact the fact that Agatha and Grindelwald were in the same year at the school spoke volumes.
"We already get the idea and I thought my sister was somebody not to cross," said Lord Arkwright, "At least she has a good reason to chew others out much like Myra does and speaking of my sister she's delivered some choice words to the British Ministry about the Minister and the Senior Undersecretary saying the former is incompetent and a spineless wimp only there by a pathetic cowardly bigot. She's calling Lucius Malfoy and his family a bunch of cowardly whiners and as for Umbridge my sisters says that Umbridge should be kicked out of magical society just as the Gaunts became social outcasts living in a shack as inbred beggars."
"Your sister is obviously right about Malfoy and Umbridge Lord Arkwright," said Myra, "I've worked with her in the past and by her I mean the current Lady De Grandpre. She also thinks she's found other relatives of people that her husbands ancestors worked with over the years."
"On another note I have some more bad news," Alastor said, "The Department of Magical Covert Operations has been compromised. Somehow Kai Malfoy and his Organization learned about it and have started attacking anyone and everyone that I've considered recruiting for the department and cursing their families. At this rate that moron Fudge will probably be doing Malfoy's bidding and listening to everything he says. Fortunately there is some good news, the Chief of Staff managed to get a warning from somebody who wants to remain anonymous about the leak and that an impending attack upon the Department of Magical Covert Operations and all of it's staff by Kai's contacts in an attempt to impress him and show that nobody crosses the ruling pureblood conservative circles and lives. The attack is going to hit hard and fast. The thing is the Chief of Staff is worried that Umbridge will most likely have that hack Rita Skeeter bad mouth him and all of his relatives by writing up embarrassing articles in the papers after the next day."
"Speaking of Alaric Bones where is he?" Lord Roberts asked confused, "He should be here."
"He and his wife Minako are on vacation for a week," Lord Arkwright said, "They don't return until tomorrow. Alaric assumed that Alastor and the Department of Magical Covert Operations could protect his deputy chief of staff for the week considering that Christina Carlin is now part of the DMCO and one of Moody's best students. That last one was Alaric's words."
"The Chief of Staff has a lot of faith in me and Alastor," Christina said brandishing a sword, "and rightfully so but back to the subject of Umbitch, the DMCO has been doing an investigation into her and she's not protected by the Arkeyan Bylaws but she's been keeping the sensitive information that I think could have incriminated her at her own house and the place is warded with security tighter than Fort Knox. Not even the stealthiest ninjas could get in there without her knowing about it and I don't even want to know what she's got guarding any attempts to break the wards."
"Well that's just great but do you have anything that can help us?" Myra asked.
"We do actually we managed to find out that she's already drafted the magical version of the Nuremburg Laws and has gained influence equal to Lucius Malfoy over Fudge," Christina spoke, "Malfoy and Umbridge's combined influence is so strong to the point where Fudge will pretty much do whatever they tell him to do which is basically override all of Alaric's decisions and disregard his advice while listening to Lucius Malfoy's advice just because Malfoy married a pureblood witch where as Alaric married a Youko."
"Well this means that I need to win my challenge so we can let Duncan crush Kai," Yzma said. "And I had best return to Hogwarts. Myra I know this is sudden and I know I'm putting a lot onto your plate but I'm gonna need you to help by leading the Administrative staff and taking over defense once Albus and I end Lockhart's contract once more than half the year is out. Can I count on you to do that as the DMCO investigates him and the claims that he's made?"
"IT shouldn't be too difficult Yzma," Myra said, "I never believed Lockhart's books anyway without checking first. Still the Daily Prophet's starting to get better and they've stopped using blackletter and are using regular print. It's helped a lot considering I never liked using blackletter. Anyway it's reputation is getting better thanks to Margaret Rosenblatt helping out but what Abigail Bones really needs to do is grow a backbone and kick Rita Skeeter out and kick the bigots on the Hogwarts Board of Governors out of there completely or I will take the Star Saber and kick those cowardly, pathetic, maggot bigoted pricks off the board myself and crush them into dust and I will do the same to that sack of crap Umbitch."
Everyone present was shocked at how unafraid Myra was as she brandished the Star Saber but she wasn't done yet.
"Alastor tell Fudge that I'm challenging him to battle once Yzma's challenge is over according to the bylaws which state that if I win I get to select a replacement for Fudge when the Potter Alliance decides to vote him out," the Vampire Monster Girl said, "And tell Umbitch that I plan to kick her and the pureblood supremacy bigots and death eater spies and supporters out of the ministry once and for all."
"With the Star Saber in your possession and the Forge of Solus in my possession the forces of darkness don't stand a chance and Alastor's bound to deliver the message soon enough," Lord Roberts said as he held the Forge of Solus in his hand and lifted it like it was little more than a paper weight," "By the way Lord Arkwright how is your son in law Nicolas Angel?"
"He's doing well now that he's part of MEGTAF and has earned a place in Interpol," Lord Arkwright spoke before a message was sent to him via his commlink, "Guys we have a problem or rather a list of big problems. My daughter Marissa and her husband Nicholas Angel were ambushed while they were protecting the Power Team but they and the Power team were infected with the same virus that infected the MACUSA and the ministries on continental Europe. The attack was here on British soil so the virus will spread. Nicholas and Marissa are feeling the effects of the virus and it'll take a while for the antidote to get here. I also have more bad news from my sister Cora in Paris. The Chief of Staff for the French Ministry of Magic has been hiring pureblood and magic only raised halfblood employees and they've been favored for promotions. Normally the Chief of Staff wouldn't do that but Cora suspects that somebody is threatening him to do so and to make matters worse when she tried to face the Chief of Staff he ignored her completely and told her to leave. I suspect whoever is threatening the Chief of Staff shares Umbridge's world view and Voldemort's ideology."
The team were shocked that Cora De Grandpre brought this news but none more so than Yzma Milano nee De Ville herself for the Chief of Staff for the French Ministry of Magic was none other than her older brother Howard De Ville I head of House De Ville and Yzma knew that while Howard was not a warrior he was also not the type to be threatened so easily which mean that somebody very powerful was helping to spread Voldemort's ideology and they were strong enough to scare Howard into doing what they wanted him to do.
"This is worse than I thought," Yzma sighed annoyed, "I had best get back to Hogwarts and convince Arisa Shiba to hand over the Swordfish Spirit long enough for the Magical Center for Disease Control to make a vaccene then Lord Arkwright has to tell his sister Cora to handle things in France."
"Shouldn't we tell this to the Rosenblatts?" Lord Perkins suggested, "Duncan was able to Eliminate Moloch so perhaps we should let them handle this."
"Duncan and Margaret Rosenblatt don't have French Citizenship," said Lord Roberts, "So that probably means that whoever is threatening Howard is somebody who shares Umbridge's world view and Voldemort's Ideology that lives in France and is strong enough to do so which means Cora's gonna have her hands more than full."
"And I can't help since I don't have French Citizenship in the event whoever is threatening Howard decided to challenge him for his position as Chief of Staff for the French Ministry," Myra growled annoyed.
"Let's focus on the Virus and finding a way to defeat it for good first," Moody said.
"Moody is right we need a vaccine and that means we need the Swordfish Spirit," Yzma spoke before sighing, "Which means Professor Flitwick has to talk to Arisa Shiba yet again and I have a feeling she won't hand over the Swordfish Spirit once again."
Nobody could blame Yzma considering the Swordfish Spirit was very powerful and able to cure most viruses created by dangerous monsters which meant that the Swordfish Spirit itself would be a tempting target for anyone looking to eliminate a threat to their plans using chemical warfare.
"We don't have time to play nice Yzma," Alastor Moody said, "Tell Arisa that if we don't get the Swordfish Spirit then we're all history. Use force if you have to."
"Alastor if I force Arisa to hand over the Swordfish Spirit then I risk the Arkeyans taking that as in insult and a capital offense," said Yzma, "No I'll need Margaret Rosenblatt to help. As my successor as the Hogwarts School Councilor, she might be able to get Arisa to allow us to borrow the Swordfish Spirit long enough for us to make a vaccine that can render this virus useless."
"Do what you can Yzma but we need that spirit and fast," Lord Perkins said as Yzma left without a word knowing that the virus could hit Hogwarts at any minute.
