CH 11 FIND ME AT
Following the Prophet article on Lady Black by Proxy, Slytherins kept an eye on Ruperta. That was alright, Rupertq kept an eye on the Slytherins too. She had many bottles of polyjuice potions, shrinking potion, and invisible. And many more council members to spare with memories that were more useful than muggle recordings.
Above all a troll message about Lily the goblin terrorist to the goblins was the first troll message Ruperta and Regalus sent. Bellatrix's, Alecto's, Mulciber', Rodolphus', and Umbridge's(for good measure) would be sent to the muggle zine later on. Fingers crossed for mad axe weilding muggles or muggle law enforcement r3ady for a ahoot out to turn the tide of the war.
Regalus and Ruperta examined the troll messages side by side.

"I think we lost steam," Regalus said. "But we kept up the troll energy. Let's attach your memory to the last one."
"We can't risk sending an owl" Ruperta said.
"Yeah, let's just send it directly to the goblins by Kreacher,," Regalus said.
"Do you remember when the mauraders fcked with Severus by pantsing him on a tree? And Evans, over one slur, ignored his mental anguish and bullied t him in public with the Mauraders?" Ruperta asked.
"Yeah I was in the library and that heard about it too late, that shyt made me so mad, " Regalus said. "Two wrongs don't make a right, but miss high and mighty can't admit that.
"As a biased prefect, she didn't even take points from the mauraders who's attack was no less than death eater shyt. She never took points for their bullying at any time, shes a hyporite." Regalus rolled his eyes. "Because Sirius' tactics were learned from our abusive, controlling grandfather."
"That's why he influenced James to be someone controlling people with an iron dictator fist until they expertly started scheming becuase no one wants to be around his minions and Lily the shyt friend who liked James for his death eat her actions but Sev's friendship meant nothing to her. She didn't take points from the mauraders for harssment or Sev for his slur because she never really condoned the Marauders. She couldn't forgive Sev after one slur said in the heat of the moment after years of torture or give him a chance to reform. But she could forgive James for emaluating some crazy extremists, my relatives, due to Sirius' dumbass meltdowns, for years."
"There are people who forgave their besties for less. She to act per convenience. Now we havw our answer, she's a goblin bigot budding terrorist. "
"This is why my clan are laughing their arses off at the ght side's attempt to recruit us to their side," Ruperta said. "They see their muggle borns as more deserving of rights than us and want us to fight for them in an oppressed state? You-know-who is laughing his arse off at their attempt. The selective righteous anger of the light side makes me think wizards are huge buyers of rose colored glasses."
"Preach," Regalus snorted. "I was a death eater, I didn't kill or rape. But even I would let a Gryffindor take points from me or give me detention."
I tortured a few muggles under you-know-who's deadly orders. It's not a excuse but Sirius left me alone with violent, magic xenophobic parents who used deadly force to control me. If I acted like Sirius, they would attack me with emotional blackmail and bend me to their will. And psychological torture. Most young death eaters like Barty, Rab, and Sev were psychologically tortured a lot, that's how he preys on us to manipulate us to join him, like criminals do. He preys on our brokenness and desperation to escape the darkness. We didn't didn't just wake up and decide to kill people we despise. Not even the Blakcs like Bella."
Reglaus snorted, and grumbled, "The light side like to make it black and white to justify their ego, but they continue to oppress magical beings while calling us death eater scum. I've done less torture than the Mauraders before I risked my life to destroy you-know-who's secret, because you-know-who dared to sacrifice Kreacher. Before that the most i did was cut up muggles and muggle borns with spells. Ruin their lives. And intimidate them with threats of power. Bellatrix was peesonally training me, and checked my torture personlity. But I never attacked anyone as viscuously as Bella and she called me a snowflake. The light is vehemently against giving people like James, Peter, and Siirus the dumbass punishment for their actions. Everyone else is fair game to be curb stomped on. They're the type who apologize for the attacker and expect the victim to accept it, as if the insult to an apology done in a clique mentality means something."
"Ye is obvious to all of us in the clan lands," Ruperta said.
Reglaus turned to her, "that's why you need to turn in the Goblin hating terrorist. You have every right to report suspicious incidents you witness or experience. Everyone talka a lot about muggle born acceptance but ignores the leprechauns and genies' struggle. It's madness."
"It feels nice to admit that" Ruperta muttered, looking down. Shw looked up at Regalus. "You-know-who is laughing all the way to the bank. Y'know ever since the light side started propaganda for the creatures to join the light side.
Once they sent the message out to the goblins, they begin preparing for reporters.
The news of the Massacre still weighed heavily on everyone's minds. But the news of Lady Black by Proxy took everyone who stayed behind for the holidays' minds off somber affairs. The professors decided it was alright if there was a little relaxing Yule Tide affair in the highest tower with a solar room. The upper walls in that tower was enchanted like the Great Hall and there was spellwork in the ceiling to give it a canopy of ferns look.
Fake snow drizzled from the ceiling. Icicles lined the ceilings and the enchanted windows also had snow, charmed to glitter, lining them. A star hung from the ceiling and the baubles hung on a semi transparent tree. But the decoration also had a Halloween like style because of the current darkness outside in the world.
Ruperta wore nice rose dress robes with fuscia sequins scattered on her robes. Sirius as lord Black wore fancy dark aqua dress robes with turquoise sequins scattered on this robes. Ruperta's robe sequins were charmed to give Sirius' robes shimmering glow making the sequins twinkle. Christimas colors and their respective house colors. Their complimentary color scheme was carefully planned.
Sirius' aqua dress robes light up in its shimmering glory, when Ruperta approached him. It was like Sirius got a built in spotlight. He had it when he was speaking to the crowd, because Ruperta stood by him at the right time.
And Sirius' robe sequins were charmed to give Ruperta's robes a sparkling, iridesce glow and the sequins on her dress would scintillate.
When Lord Black and Proxy Lady Black stood side by side, their robe colors the effect was Proxy Lady Black looked like the constant shadow of Lord Black.
The Party was underway when Sanguini, a vampire, entered with who he introduced was his cousin. His cousin had strawberry blond hair, and familiar grey eyes. What's more his robes were harvest gold with a giant amber jasper on it.
It was a lot. Sanguini's cousin's entered the circular entrance to the tower, when Sirius and Ruperta were standing next to each other as their robes dazzled the room.
When his cousin stood next to Ruperta her dress robe incandesced with black light as she stood next to Sanguini's cousin, who's own begin giving off a spangles of lusterous dark ember that flew off the fabric. His jasper incandesced with heat, while the sequins on Rup's dress glistened. And Sirius' robes' bright glitter light went out.
When she turned to Sirius her robes begin glowing a sparkle again. And when she turned to Reglaus it switched again to a black light lustre.
The timing was perfect for the Quibbler reporters to show up and capture the light fight between Lady Black By Proxy and Lord Black and Sanguini's family.
"The Black Lady by Proxy and Lord are going to go out like stars," someone murmeres.
The crowd all started murmering. "The Black constellation is falling apart."
"A new star joined the constellation."
"Muggleborns and half bloods should never join constellations."
"The moon has knocked the constellation out."
The Quibbler reporters were snapping away at the awkward and dubious light show. Making an opening for Bellatrix to get suspicious and hunt the Lord Black down.
Slughorn hijacked the two day New Years celebration to do his Slug Club stuff. But unlike his traditional Slug Club parties, everyone was invited. His slug club was just distinguished by the Slug Club mini cauldron headbands they wore. Slughorn did this for the new Lady Black by Proxy. But it all went to head as everyone sat there confused why the Lady Black By Proxy's robes complimented someone else the way it complimented Lord Black.
Sanguine's cousin pulled Ruperta towards himself and gave a bow. The two faced crowd clapped politely as he spoke, "I hope you enjoyed that display, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not Lord Black. Far from it! I'm Sterlinge Zambini of Newcasle Clan, cousin of Sanguini Zambini." He glanced at Sirius. "I'm simply here as a suitor of Lady Black of Proxy and previously a huge admirer. I apologize for not asking Lord Black and Lady Black by Proxy before interrupting their dress code."
He turned to look at everyone, "Lady Black by Proxy and I have been serious since we met a day ago when my Yumbo friend tried to give Lady Black by Proxy vetiserum to check if she tried to she was the late delivery witch, delivering blood pudding. Until. I stepped in ." He looked directly at Ruperta and it clicked he was Regalus by the mention of Veriserum. "The rest is history, I wish to officially court Lady Black by Proxy and pledge fealty to Lord Black. Forgive for my brash interruption but I simply wish to consider this as wearing Lady Black by Proxy's favor, a great honor. If I have overstepped I will make amends at once."
Sterling bowed and everyone clapped as the Prophet reporter snapped away. "He's Reg," Ruperta muttered to Sirius. Sirius who was staring at Sterling, warily, snapped up at Ruperta's news.
"Very well Lord Zambini, it's my honor to welcome to suitor of Lady Blackbby Proxy and someone who swears fealty to my house," Sirius looked down at Sterling, holding his robes, regally. "It is my honor to share my light with you as a way to wear your Lady Black by Proxy's favor. I would like to knight you hat once. Yet we can wait until after the new years tidings to knight you as is customary for the Knights of Black. In the meantime here is my Black quil for being in my favor." Ruperta made a fake blue gold quil and handed it to Siruus, discreetly. Sirius presented it to Sterling who bowed.
"Thank you milord Black, it is an honor," Sterling stayed in the position for a half a beat.
The Quibbler reporters took pictures faster then before if possible, the room was converted in thick purple smoke that covered the trio from view for a bit.
"Now I will ask Lady Black by Proxy to dance, you may cut in Lord Zambini it will look stunning for the Prophet pictures," Sirius said. He bowed, holding out his hand to Ruperta who took it. Their dress robes changed per their scheme.
After a few minutes if waltzing in thick purple smoke from non stop pictures, Lord Zambini cut in. And the Prophet reporters buried their way to the front, saw the dazzling change of Ruperta, Sirius, and Lord Zambini's dress robes. During the whole process of the robe schemes changing from Sirius and Ruperta to Sterlinge and Ruperta, more thick purple smoke enveloped them. The reporters caught the dazzling such in real time. And they got extra pictures of Sirius as his robes' light dimmed, regally.
Bellatrix and Lucius were going to have a long read that week. Cissy was going to hear about it from the sources' mouth the next day.
