Chapter 16 – Who dies today?
The Dailey Profit the next morning:
... Harry NoName Escaped Ministry's holding cells...
Harry NoName who was previously known as Lord Potter was stripped of all his titles and vaults for crimes, See Page 2. The ministry has assured us that he will serve his ten year sentence in Azkaban. Ministry personnel are currently entering all his properties and securing them for the rightful owner, See Page 3 for list of properties. We wish the Ministry the best of luck in hunting down this dangerous fugitive.

"You know Caradog that they didn't say who the rightful owner is and we have to find something else to call you; Caradog doesn't feel right for you." Susan stated.
The girls all agreed and started, "The French doesn't help that would make him Briefbras" stated Fleur.
"The Welch are not better, Tegau Eurfron means golden Breasts." Tracy giggled.
"Well Harry does like breasts" Hannah sighed.
"We agreed not to call him that in public, someone might put us together." Susan growled.
"Well it's a shame we can't use muggle terms, like Breezy, or Bras." Hermione stated.
"Well we could shorten it to dog or mutt." Daphne laughed.
"My Lord until we come up with something we can live with." Hermione decided.
Gringotts; the girls in place behind a one way rock:
"My Lord I would like you to meet Albus Dumbledore the Chief Warlock of the Ministry."
My Founders glamour showed a much older person, "Not much for politics, although the law has kept me in galleons."
"Shall we go I want to claim those vaults Ragnok."
"What have I told you Dumbledore about using my title; now that everyone is here we all can confirm that we have followed the law."
"Yes the warrants." I tried to sound like I knew what I was talking about.
Dumbledore took them out and almost threw them at me, I pretended to thoroughly read them.
It was well worth the trip, the main vault was Slytherin and when the door opened to empty space Dumdum looked like he was having a heart attack. He grabbed his chest and fell backwards against the stone wall.
"Were is everything?" Dumbledore gasped.
"Mr. Potter had us clear this level and had some American Goblins deal with everything." Ragnok spoke truthfully.
"Well if he thinks he can skip to America and get away with this, we will drag him back here."
"Mr. Dumbledore, no one said he skipped to America, he could be in France with his relatives or in any country actually." I had to make it more confusing. "Also I can assure you all of the other vaults are like this, empty."
Dumbledore did not believe it until he saw it, Riphook did the escorting, and Ragnok and I returned to his office and were shortly joined by the girls. We all had a huge laugh.
Ragnok joined us at the Dragon's Nest for a good meal and Elvin wine. Meanwhile Voldemort was attacking Azkaban and freeing all his supporters and anyone else that wanted to join him.
While the Dailey Profit was finally talking about He-who-must-not-be-named, Voldemort was port-keying into Diagon alley. It was the end of August and it would be full of parents and students and he could start his reign of terror with a large massacre.
A young boy born in July was in the alley shopping with his sister. All he had from his parents was a few pictures his sister had and the story of how they died in a car crash. which gave him a nasty scar on his cheek. The crash was caused by a bright green light apparently blinding them. That's how the police report reported the accident. As a new Hogwarts student with his first wand he aims it at his older sister and he says a spell to end a spell, he had seen the spell in a school book. "finite incatatum" he yelled, he was only trying to scare his sister. He misses and hits Volde in the forehead as Voldeshorts port-keyed in to kill and destroy. For some reason Voldemort falls into gory pieces, a bone, a hand and some blood.
The cleaning crew comes in and incinerated everything and 'Scourgifys' the area, every one is trilled they have a new "boy who conquers." They of course didn't know that very soon they would need one.
When I read that piece in the Dailey Profit I just shook my head, at least it saved me from Shadow jumping and trying to maul Voldemort to death.
At Hogwarts:
Dumbledore fired an "Avada Kadava", Orion the Horicrux was gone. "For The Greater Good.", would have been heard if anyone else was in the hallway. "Even if I didn't get his money, now where is that obnoxious brat Harry Potter."
It would be worth the price of admission when Lucifer tells Dumbledore that Orion was never a Horicrux "nor" the boy who lived. There would be more enlightening fact for Dumdum before that meeting.
/Scene Break/
"I'm bored, and need to do something" Hermione whined.
"Yes Fleur got a job in Gringotts as her Veela side doesn't affect Goblins." Susan groused.
Fate again intervened:
"Harry are you home?" Ragnok shouted.
"Seems that we always are these days." I replied.
"How would you like to get out and be under Dumbledore's nose without him knowing?" Ragnok was excited.
"Alright I'll bite, what do we have to do?"
"He has a huge problem all his teachers are retiring and he cannot find people who will teach for those wages he offers."
"How do I explain all these girls are my wife with only one title?"
"Tell him you have more than one title and just let it drop, you are Lord Freichfras and that's all he needs to know."
"How do we do this?"
"I already have the paper work submitted, just show up for the interview Friday." Ragnok was a sneaky Goblin. He had everyone already assigned.
Hannah was Susan's assistant librarian; the library was open from six in the morning till curfew seven days a week. Hermione got transfiguration while Daphne was Runes instructor, Tracy wanted sex education even if there wasn't one, she settled for Harry's assistant.
We went with our glamour's on of course but had to keep our first names and that included me. We just made to many slips with the first names. They also had no problems getting hired as Dumdum was desperate for Professors so he had time to hunt Harry Potter. Only Professor Flitwick and one other was left, even a recent student called Longbottom was hired for Herbology Professor. Flitwick was also the assistant Headmaster now. The bad news was Snape was still there as potion master.
The big fight was which girl would say they were a Freichfras and which a Briefbras. Whether they were first wife, second wife, concubine was not the schools business. As I look back I cannot see how this worked from the start, but it did, no one connected us with our old selves. I did shorten names when in Dumdums presents, so there were, Sue, Daf, Moine, but Tracy objected to tacky, so Tre' it became.
As a Professor with this many wives there was no place for us to live as a family, so they gave us a wing off one end of the castle. The elves had to do a lot of modifications but we had a pool size tub and a private 'floe'. I finished up with some of my super wards.
In the morning the ritual was to put on the glamour charm. Now that might sound easy but it was a Founders charm. It was spell resistant the only way it could fail was if you did it wrong or you died with it on. Once everyone had the glamour on we proceeded to the Great Hall for breakfast and then to our individual classes.
Sitting at the head table was a little weird but you could see all the students if you wanted. One confusing part was names, Philip Blagdon was long gone but his son Blem Blagdon was attending. S. Capper was long gone and we now had P. Capper. The magical community was not that large.
Snape was still Slytherin head of house, I got Gryffindore, Longbottom got Hufflepuff and Hermione got Ravenclaw.
Nanette Desford son Luca Desford was is Slytherin and shot a curse under the table towards the Griffendore table. Who he was aiming at was any ones guess. "Twenty Points from Slytherin, Mr. Desford for that sneaky spell. Was anyone hurt at the Gryffindore table? A girl raised her hand and I could see she was hit with a boil curse. Ok Griff's help her to Madam Ponfrey.
"I see no reason to pick on my students Professor; you can not tell it was a Slytherin who cast that spell." Snape sneered.
"Do you doubt my word Professor?" I sneered back.
"Why yes I do I…" Snape started.
"Fine an honor duel then or are you sniveling around?" I sneered back.
"Agreed" he tried to up the sneer but I think he hurt himself.
"Terms?" I asked and was surprised.
"None" was the reply.
Flitwick I knew would interfere but this got out of hand quick. When 'Terms' were asked for replies varied, some would be wands only, no contact or no killing curses.
By his stating 'None' meant anything and everything and to the death was not ruled out.
My response was "When do you wish do this?"
"Right now, out side by the lake"
I just nodded and said "Done."
Flitwick demanded dueling screens as he knew there was no way the students would not be there or hanging over the balcony or out a window.
Once the duel started I saw that Snape was no slouch with curses. When you are a student and he the teacher you may think he is just using his professor power to rule you and he really is a wimp. Snape started with his signature curse that I would not know as a new professor 'Sectusempra' I had already put up my founders shield that protected me from about all curses and spells. Snape followed up with 'Confringo', 'Defodio', 'Diffindo', 'Reducto', and another 'Sectumsempra'. He looked a little upset as all the curses speed off in different directions. He started to laugh when I said my first spell 'Expelliarmus', but as he opened his mouth to bad mouth me, my 220 volt 'Expelliarmus' went through his shield and hit him in the chest. Needless to say he was blasted back and lay smoldering on the grass next to the lake, his wand was on fire.
Madam Pomfrey rushed out and got him to St Mungo, he would be there for at least a month.
Now this brought the board of governors in and after explanations and a heated debate agreed that while not the best thing it was justifiable by me and my actions approved. All except a blond headed poof looking older man who reminded me of Draco. Well he was Draco's father and had about as much sense. He kept going on about how I should be fired, band, secured and put in Azkaban and this was all after the board agreed I was cleared. So, "Do you wish to join Snape? If not I suggest you shut your mouth."
The idiot kept running his mouth and I finally stated "Honor Duel" you have insulted a lord with your idiocy. He was smarter by agreeing but he stated no killing curses. So, back out to the lake and the duel started. I was really just pissed at his mouth so I just decided to teach him a muggle lesson; he didn't say no-contact. I dodged, swerved and jumped right into his face and then showed him what kung fu was about. I really did beat him to a pulp. He was down and as I walked away "Avada Kadava" was heard. I rolled to my right and turned to do something, it was done for me. He had violated the dueling rules and a number of spells were thrown at him by the judge. The lightning bolt from a clear day fried him to a black ember. While it was not me and everyone passed it off as magic's justice for breaking an oath, I somehow wondered about Mount Olympus and who might have been watching.
