SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Why is this a reocurring thing?
Vaati woke up with the strangest of hedaches. The kind where you don't remember hitting your head and then realized he had gotten himself drunk. Vaait opened the door to the owlery but instantly wished he hadn't. The light hurt his eyes but he was hungry enough to press on.
"Hey!" Vaati yelled and waved to Petro. His talking hurt his head a little and he instantly wished evryone would stop talking. Petro made a detour and flew away from his vision. As Vaati thought he didn't like him anymore Petro came back holding a cracker, some meat, and a thimble of water. Vaati thanked him and started eating his meal.
"Where is most evryone?" Asked Vaati.
"Most of the owls are out delivering Hogwarts acceptance letters. These tell power magic gifted children they need to hone their powers at out prestegious school." Replied Petro. "I'm just finished with mine so the others should be coming back soon."
"So new children will be coming to the school to be taught magic?" Asked Vaati. He was curious about what these children were taught. Elzo had tried to stop him from learning magic at all costs. How did these children learn when taught by another.
"Yes, don't worry though they only come up to the owlery when letters need to be delivered, and that's not allowed evry day of the week. We owls need our rest too you know." Said Petro.
"Did the news come in today? I'd like to get a look at it."
"Yes it is." Petro grabbed Vaati with no warning and landed the mage on the owlery floor in front of a bit of papper. Vaati could see the images going through the motions and repeating themselves. This magic was nothing new to Vaati who could turn people to stone or trap them into paintings. He couldn't get them to act alive but he belived they had the same theory behind them.
"Gilroy Lockheart wins award for best smile again... New red robes are all the rage... Boy who lived is going to attend Hogwarts. What the heck is this news? This tells me nothing important!" Said Vaati.
"Usually the front page is used for articles that people would rather read. The most important information is usually near the back." Said Petro.
"That's silly! Were somthing important i want it to be up front! People will just get bored halfway in on all the gossip that was uncovered at the wizard convention? What the heck! You described these wizards perfectly! How the heck do people learn about all this junk and shove the rest to the back?! This is mostly useless.!" Vaati shouted as he began the task of trying to flip the page. It kept falling on him and closing up so he decided to read from inside the news.
"Muggles attacked near central station, deatheaters return. What are death eaters?" Yelled Vaati as he peaked his head out of the news to look at Petro.
"They follow the dark lord in his plight to eradicate all those he deems unworthy of the gift of magic." Informed Petro.
"Dosn't evryone have magic? I mean this castle has magic right?" Asked Vaati.
"Yes they all have magic but they don't all have magics power. To use the gift of magic you must have the power to control it. Magic is itself a living thing and locks itself inside of those who cannot summon it's power without destroying themselves. Usualy squibs, who are wizards that have no magic power even though they trace their lineage to magic weilders, have too much power for themselves to handle. Sadly wizards don't understand or choose to ignore this so they can foll themselves that they are superior." Said Petro while shaking his head.
"That's foolish of them. As i learn more about these wizards the more I want to not know." Said Vaati. "Do any of them make any sense?"
"So far the answer is no. We might see a wise one in our years but it's more likley they will all turn out as fools. I blame the potion fumes myself, I mean boiling newt tails and goat throw up. Nope." Said Petro who then shivered for a bit.
"Whats the Wizenmgot?" Asked Vaati when he went back into the news.
"That's a counsel of wizards that act as high judges for evrything the minister of wizard london tries to pass as law, as well as judges for high crimes. Dumbledoor happens to be on this counsel. Said Petro.
"How dose one get onto the counsel?" Asked Vaati. He wondered how a headmaster could have gotten such a position.
"Either bribing alot of money, or inheriting the seat from ancestors." Said Petro.
"WHAT?! You say any bimbo who had their father on the counsel can claim their seat? That makes no sense! Even with Hyrule the ruler got to pick their judges!" Said Vaati.
"If the minister of magic got to pick his judges i tell you that he could pass whatever law he wanted. It's too dangerous but if we had people with alot of money on the Wizemgot then he wouldn't be able to bribe most of them. It's a dangerous thing to try and find a balance of power because there is none." Said Dave who had startled Vaati.
Woke up at 12, can't go to sleep. -.- Immune system whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Hopefully i'll pass out now. Forgot that he was minister and not president so i changed that if you are wondering.
