I do not own Harry Potter.
Enjoy!
It was that time, of the year again.
Where all the members of the Wizengamot gathered together for the second time in the year, that didn't have to do with putting on a trail.
Albus Dumbledore, couldn't help but feel anxious behind his usual twinkly eyes, he couldn't stop his troubles from crossing his mind.
It's been a year now since he's lost sight of Jamus Potter other twin, it's like the boy had just got adopted and vanished into thin air.
Not to mention the discovery that the House of Felix was still alive and kicking, despite his attempt to kill it off, secretly.
Every once in a while, he would clench his newly acquired wand, and couldn't help but compare it to the awesome power of the Elder wand. He would have never thought, he would ever step foot into Ollivanders again just to get a new wand.
The feeling of pride, knowing he had the best wand in the whole world had left him and he felt his teeth clench at the loss, it wasn't like he could gather people to track down his wand, it would lead to way to many questions, from people wondering why couldn't he get another wand.
And his problems didn't stop there.
James and Lily Potter had come to him and expressed concerns about Jamus sudden lack of magic, he was used to hearing Jamus Potter, having burst of magic, every two or three weeks, now it was a burst of magic every 3 or 4 months.
He personally had come to see the boy to check if something was wrong with his magic core, but he found nothing that could explain the boys sudden lack of magic feats.
Jamus Potter, was meant to be a powerful boy, and he was supposed to help him train his powers.
How can he do that when the boy suddenly couldn't connect to his magic like he used to?
He found it suspicious that as soon as Harry Potter, left, suddenly Jamus couldn't perform magic as often...
For the first time in his life, he had doubts about his choice in deciding who the Boy-Who-Lived was.
It was truly troubling, but Jamus Potter still had four years left until he went to Hogwarts, perhaps he would put the boy through some test to make sure he got the right boy?
And he was sure, he could get Harry to attend Hogwarts by than, so that he could test both of them and see who showed the most promise, if Harry did turn out to be the more powerful twin, he would take the boy under his wing.
He thought all these things as he sat down in his usual seat, as head Warlock.
Once again, he basked in the power he had over the room of powerful men and women.
Even after all these years, it still felt odd meeting here without deciding the fate of somebody.
Cornelius Fudge, sat on his high chair and said. "We, are gathered here today to discuss the new proposed laws. I'm sure we all have the Wizarding World's best interest in heart"
Indeed, each person had their own idea's on how the world they lived in, should be run, idea's that wouldn't be shocking if they said it out loud in this very room.
Fudge continued and said. "Let us, now-"
The doors suddenly opened.
"WELL HELLO, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!" Came a cheerful voice.
Ch 9: You are no longer allowed to vote!
All eyes slowly turned to the dark skinned man, with some kind of shock and who can blame them, they had put a ward up, so nobody who wasn't invited could walk through the doors, and since they felt nothing, it meant the wards were still in place.
Meanwhile Albus Dumbledore was currently having a heart attack, seeing the face he hadn't seen in over 20 year's.
The man's face was different than what he remembered but what really counted, was exactly the same.
He would recognize him that face anywhere.
It was Xander Crow Felix, the son of Gavin Daniel Felix and Lily Gray Felix.
The boy was the one to survive that night.
Dear Melin!
Albus couldn't help but remember the first time, he had met that boy and was thoroughly creeped out. The boy, didn't have the eyes of a boy but that of a man.
Never had he been so cautious with talking to somebody in his whole life.
He could tell, that boy was going to be somebody when he grow up and possible his greatest challenge in getting Britain how he wanted.
Why hadn't the boy been killed, that night like his parents?
What kind of idiot misses an eight year old boy!? It wasn't that hard to do, just point your wand and mutter the killing curse, for bloody sake!
And now that boy had grown up to become a man!
Albus got the feeling, today was going to leave him with a nasty headache.
He can only hope, the now man ,didn't know just how much power he had in this room, or the whole of Britain would turn on it's head within hours.
"Good morning, everybody" Xander said, with a bright smile, he dared to show up in jeans and T-shirt, instead of standard wizard clothing, just to annoy everybody in the room and judging by the face's looking at him, it was working. "I trust you all slept well, I know I did"
"Who the bloody hell are you? And how did you get in here?" Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Senior said, and to do dare present himself in Muggles clothing, had this man got no shame?
"Well, that's a good question, Barty. Can I call you, Barty?" Xander said, of course he didn't care about the man's opinion, so before the man could open his mouth again, he said. "Well my name Xander, Crow, Felix. Nice to meet you all."
The whole room stared like he had grown two heads.
Wasn't that house dead!?
But if, what the man said, was true, than it was no wonder this man passed through the wards. The wards mostly allowed head of Houses through them.
"But, I thought that house was extinct?" Elphias Doge said, even in his old age, he remembered reading about the extinction of the House of Felix many years back.
"Well, my house was almost extinct" Xander said, "Sadly, I was the only survivor after the massacre. However when it happened, I was too young to become the head of House some the House was technically extinct. However, because I was the only Felix left, I became the Head of House, much earlier than I should have." Showing the Head of House ring, making all their eyes widen. "I've been traveling ever since I came of age, and until recently, I hadn't had the time, to take my role seriously" and for some reason, he turned to Albus.
The moment, their eyes met, Albus tried to enter his mind.
Nothing happened.
He tried again.
Still nothing.
There was no doubt about it, this man was indeed a Felix.
Xander could already feel the interest and the calculating looks from other Head of Houses, especially in Lucius Malfoy eyes, no doubt wanting to recruit him to the Dark Lord side if he proved useful.
Meanwhile James Potter, paled at the sight of the man, remembering how the man had blackmail on him, that could ruin him and his whole family.
None of them had any idea, that all their power they prided themselves on, was about to be taken away from them, but what he said next, had them all in an uproar.
"So, Cornelius Fudge, please get off my seat." He said.
The whole room went into an uproar, as Fudge spluttered.
"W-What?" Fudge said, "Are you mad? This is the seat of the Minister of Magic, it's been this way since the founding."
"If that's the case, why do I see the my house's symbol engraved at the sight of your seat?" Xander said, and they all looked to find a carving that looked like a Lion's roar at the side of the chair, that was indeed the house of Felix.
The Minister spluttered, of course he had noticed that but he didn't realize it was the symbol for the house of Felix, why should he worry about a Felix, claiming it when he, like everybody else, had thought they were all dead.
He was also aware that out of all the chairs in the room, this was the nicest looking one by far.
"Minister. You have till the count of three before I have magic itself throw you off my chair" Xander said, his eyes hardened, he wasn't pulling any punches with this man, this man was another reason why the Dark Lord had gathered so many followers so quickly.
As he thought, the minister was going to be stubborn.
"Now, see here-" Fudge began and before everybody very eyes, Cornelius Fudge was sent flying from his seat and crashed into a wall.
Xander, didn't look at the downed man, and instead walked to his seat calmly, everybody else looked startled at what just happened.
Nobody, should be able to perform magic here unless the Wards allowed it!
"Now, than" Xander said, leaning forward, a intimidating aura swept around the room, and they all couldn't help but flinch. "You will all shut up and listen to me"
"How dare you. Who, do you think, you are?" Dolores Umbridge said and Xander was amazed to find that the women truly looked like a toad. "How dare you do that to the Minister of Magic!" Her screeching voice, was enough to make the whole room go deaf. "Do you realize what you've done?"
"Yes, Dolores, I know what I've done and It felt wonderful to do so" Xander said, shocking them all. "Now you all must be wondering, how I got into here in the first place and how I can perform magic when there is a ward around this place to prevent me from doing so?"
Yes, they did.
"To answer that I have to educate all of you and fill in the parts that you all greatly misunderstood" Xander said, it was amazing how nobody had gone for their wand yet, or maybe they had and were finding out they couldn't perform any magic against him. "It all started, in the day's of Merlin or the end of Merlin if you think about it. We, all know the legend of Merlin and how he was a powerful wizard even Muggles have heard of him, but what you don't know, was what happened as Merlin death grow near"
And despite, all that happened, they couldn't help but listen to him.
"Merlin know, that when he died, that the group he lead would have no leader. Chaos would run rampant and they would eventually killed each other off" Xander said. "Those blessed with magic needed a leader. We all know the original houses at that time, the Black, Potter's, the Malfoys even the Felix and etc. But Merlin know how easy it was to let power rush to your head. How easy that once pure families could be corrupted because of the existence of magic." Some of them looked at Sirius Black who suddenly found his hands very interesting, they all know the Black family were now know for practicing the dark arts.
It was one of those things that nobody talked about but everybody know about, it was something that would forever stick to family name despite it's current head, being confirmed to be on the side of light.
Some people glanced at some other's, who's were know to be quiet vocal with their views like the Lucius Malfoy.
"This was the case with all except one family. The same family who had such a connection with magic like he did but know, that if one member ever fell from the old ways, than the whole family will suffer for that person mistake. That house... was the House Of Felix" He revealed.
The whole room went into an uproar, many of them claimed he was a liar, they didn't want to believe it, if it was true, than what they were told by their parents were nothing but lies.
Xander merely put a silencing charm on them to get them quiet.
Once it was quiet he said. "Now where was I, ah, yes. Merlin chose the current head of the House of Felix, at the time, Aulis Kari Felix. My many times over great grandfather. Now when Merlin died, my great grandfather know that he couldn't lead so many alone and many would protest to his placement as the leader. That's why he created a group, which he called the 'Wizengamot'. The Wizengamot was made up of all the heads of houses. But this where you are all mistaken. Originally Wizengamot, never had the power to pass any laws, they were simple advisers to my many times over great grandfather, they had no true power and the Chief Warlock, was the one who take all their suggested laws and brought it to the current head of house. Albus Dumbledore, became aware of this shortly after taking up the position."
And all eyes turned to Albus Dumbledore who's eyes had stopped twinkling.
"I-Is this true?" Amelia Susan Bones said, wouldn't that mean, that every law they had pass wasn't really passed?
Albus closed his eyes, he know he was required to answer by the oath and said. "I'm afraid it is, none of us have any true power here except for young, Xander, here"
And Xander narrowed his eyes, it seemed the old man was not willing to fall into place and said. "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, you will call me 'Sir' from now on. Do I make myself clear?"
And Albus looked like he was fighting a inner battle with himself, it was obvious the man didn't like being degraded like this and barely bit out. "Yes, Sir." Much to everybody else shock.
"Good" Xander said, "So the Wizaemagot was created, and everybody was satisfied. Over time, the House of Felix became overworked and could no longer attend the meetings, but they still could did their job. But eventually down the line, those who became the Head of House, were under the illusion that they were above the House of Felix, that they were the one's who should be making the rules. The House of Felix, did nothing because they were busy and could still pass laws."
Now everybody, somehow know where this was going.
"So generation after generation, the jealousy grew and the heads began to tell their children lies. After all, who would admit to their children, that they were merely advicers?" Xander said, he could see the look in most of the Pureblood eyes, it was the kind of look of somebody in denial. "And even though they were in the spotlight, the House of Felix continued to rule, all up to 20 years ago, when most of them were wiped out, leaving just me."
Silence.
"I was too young to pass any laws or rule, so for twenty years, that power was passed to the Chief Warlock" he said, all eyes turned to Albus, who's tried to remain calm. "And now that I have reached the age of passing laws, I have come to claim my birthright, from this moment one, the Wizengamot will return to being a group of advisors,"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Barty said, even Malfoy was looking alarmed, what's the point of putting money in the minister pocket if the man had no power to actually pass any laws, to further the dark Lord's plan!?
"He's bluffing" One witch said, "There's no way, that story is true. One family, ruling the whole of the Wizarding World?"
"British" Xander said.
"What?" The women said.
"It's the whole of the British Wizarding World" Xander said, "Have you forgotten that England is not the only Wizarding society out there? Britain is the small, compared to all the other countries." Honestly these people needed to crack up a book and read.
The Women blinked owlishly and so did some people around her.
"So if you don't believe me, let me prove it" He said, raising his wand. Albus wand was out, he tried to cast a body bind at the man but nothing came out of his wand, it was too late. "I, Xander, Crow, Felix. Hereby call upon Old Magic, to take back what belongs to the House of Felix and reclaim the seat that has been filled by the Chief Warlock, Albus Dumbledore."
His wand lit up and suddenly Albus felt like something had been tore from him, leaving him exhausted and weak.
Meanwhile the other's in the room could feel the existence of old magic in the air and to their horror, felt something had been taken from them, it all went straight to Xander, who felt like he had been given the kiss of life.
"Now than, the Wizengamot will be carry on as normal but any laws you want passed, has to be presented to me. Albus, you will report back to me at the end of each meeting and present me with the laws, the Wizengamot have thought possible and any law that they had passed in the past." Xander said, before the man could talk, he was determined to clean up the mess that was Wizarding Britain."Now, if you excuse, me. I have to get back home and check on my son." walking away and through the door, like he owned the place.
He wouldn't be surprised if most of the wizards and witches in the room thought what he did was a joke.
After all, what was the likelihood of him really taking away their ability to pass any laws?
And he was right.
Not five minutes after he left, they all carried on like nothing happened, but when they tried to pass the a law, suddenly most of them were compelled to vote against it.
They tried it again.
The same thing, happened.
This went on for three house, while Albus buried his head in his hands as if he couldn't believe what was happening to him.
Sooner or later, everybody in the room would realize they had no say in how their world would be run.
That any law, that would benefit them in anyway, that they planned to have passed, will never come to pass.
Xander Crow Felix, had taken what they valued the most.
Power.
What good was power, if you don't have it?
Their world was going to feel the weight of House of Felix, that had been silent for too long.
The only light side, Albus could think of was how he was required to report back to the man.
Eventually he would have Xander Crow Felix, under his thumb.
He swore it.
And scene!
Next chapter, Albus receives a portkey to the Felix Manor and tries to manipulate Xander into giving him power over the Wizarding world, while trying to find out more about the former Potter Twin and where he is, it's too bad Xander refuses to dance to his tune. Review/fav and follow!
