The Goblin Nation speaks.
Today on the steps of Grinnotts stood a spokes Goblin for the Goblin nation, to proclaim an announcement to the Magical community.
"The Goblin Nation is in the business of wealth and wealth protection, we care little for the squabbles of Witches and Wizards. We care even less for restrictions that the ministry wish to implement to stop and control our clients. We speak in Galleons, if you have financial business you wish to conduct with us, we will help. If you wish to secure your wealth with us, we will help. We are not under ministry control."
The spokes Goblin stops his speech and gives a menacingly stare to the onlookers.
"No matter how much the Ministry wish it to be so. So with regards to the new regulations on the magical community on their wealth inheritance and growth. We reject, we will not follow, we will not discriminate. Goblins stand with the Goblin nation only, we protect our own. So hear this ministry officials, we do not side with you. So hear this Voldemort, we do not side with you."
Spokes Goblin for the Goblin nation assassinated
It's confirmed that the spokes Goblin has been assassinated. The culprit for the murder hasn't been found, who the killer was working for isn't known. Voldemort though has gone on the record to state it wasn't his or his followers work. The ministry though is blaming Voldemort for the attack on the Goblin nation. What does this mean for our wealth protection?
Are the Goblins right? Does the ministry want Grinnotts under their rule.
Ramona walks down the isle for James and Lily's wedding. The colour of the dress is dark purple. Ramona is happy the dress is long and covers her feet for this allows her to wear her flat black boots rather than heels.
As Ramona stands in front of the attendees of the wedding she refuses to glance at Sirius looking ahead. This is when she notices Regulus Black. Curious about this Ramona looks to Sirius finally and he looks happy to finally get a look at. Sirius is eying Ramona shamelessly, Ramona slightly blushes but gets angry at herself.
"Why is your brother here?" asks Ramona quietly, unable to curb her curiosity.
"He is a guest, he ... we're talking again. He has decided to stay neutral," whispers Sirius in reply.
Ramona smiles and wishes that Sirius stayed neutral rather than mixing himself up with working for Dumbledore, voluntarily. Seeing Ramona smile causes Sirius to smile in turn. The string quartet starts playing the entrance wedding song, when this tune starts Ramona has eyes only for James. One of her friends is getting married, such a surreal feeling for her. The beaming smile, the glow. James is so in love with Lily and it shows completely.
The receptions theme is red and gold. When Severus gets up for a speech it surprises Ramona because of the hatred Severus had for James throughout their time at Hogwarts. It seems Ramona has missed a thing or two by staying with the Werewolf community.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome."
Ramona realises Severus only has eyes for Lily.
"When I first met Lily she knew nothing of the magical world. It was my great pleasure to be her beacon of knowledge of the magical world. To be her friend, her best friend. All my life I've found it difficult to connect to people. This is something that comes easily to Lily so naturally I was envious and lashed when Lily gave attention to any else but me. As a truly forgiving person Lily found it in her heart to keep our friendship, so seeing you on this occasion is truly special. I love you Lily and wish you nothing but happiness, you deserve all the happiness in the world."
Severus lift his champagne glass, "To Lily ... and James."
Severus says 'and James' as an afterthought. Ramona looks to Lily and sees a tear fall down Lily's cheek. 'Love you Sev' mouths Lily to Severus.
"Wow Lily that was such a cute speech and to think I was so awful to Severus at school ... he's also become quite handsome since leaving," whispers Mary to Lily.
Lily giggles and swats Mary playfully, "He's single" sing songs Lily to Mary.
Mary giggles, "Not my type, I was just stating he takes care of himself better, but perhaps I should talk to him and really get to know him."
Ramona gets bored. Ramona starts to thinks of ways in which a party this big can be pranked. Ramona smirks thinking of all the possibilities. After a while Sirius notices that Ramona isn't talking and looks to find out why, after seeing that scheming gleem in her eye he smirks and knows exactly what's going through that head.
"Don't even think of ruining my wedding mate or you'll regret it for life," whispers James.
Ramona and Sirius now share identical evil smirks.
"No! No! No!" hisses James, desperate for his friends to play nice.
