CH 13 Lady Red A Small Star

The day after the next day was the last day Ruperta would be seen at the Great Hall during the last days of the Christmas Break. The Slug Club party in the castle's highest tower lasted for two days, and they rang in the new year. Ruperta kissed Sterlinge for the cameras and for her own agenda.

Maybe she should betrothed to Sterlinge in a grand ceremony soon, the benefits were plentiful and she liked Sterlinge/Regalus. Lucius also came to the party the day they rang in the New Yeaes and got lots if praise for his mascot dance. Narcissa was pleased and announced she was having a baby right as New Years struck.

It was all good and well that Ruperta was in the Great Hall today. The Quibbler was delivered to her by a short eared owl. Ruperta paid the own a knut and let it have a bite of her pancake, French toast, and orange juice. As she and the owl ate in silence, she glanced at the Quibbler. A moving picture with Rupertau, Sirius, and Sterlinge(moving to kneel) in the light difference power play glory was on the front page. She turned to page 3 as she took a bite the sipped juice.

15 moving pictures from the party adorned the article. A fourth of them being Ruperta dancing with Sirius then Sterlinge, and the following complimentary light switch. Sirius' aqua dress robes previously shimmering, and the sequins twinkling. Ruperta's rose dress robes sparkling iridescent as her sequins scintillating. They looked like moving glitter as they waltzed around.

Then when Sterlinge cut in at Sirius' request, Sirius' shimmery robes find, regally. Like a spotlight was taken off a soverign. And Sterling's golden harvest dress robes got spangles of lusterous dark ember that flew off the fabric. His jasper incandesced with heat. Like the spotlight switched. At the switch Rupe's rose dress robes became brighter. It went from sparkling irredesced black light, with the sequins now glistening.

As Ruperta and Sterlinge danced, it was like two fire mages dancing. Or a fire mage and water mage. It went from glittery sprites dancing to elemental makes dancing.

Rupeeta admired Regalus' firey outfit. He looked every inch an elemental mage. She supposed that's one outfit she was selling with Narcissa. Speaking of Narcissa, shw looked like a queen among the flimmering fairies, that made her dress robes lustrous. She looked like a wood fairy. Ruperta was able to give her and Lucius, who's confidence was restored after Umbridge's speech, the same theme.

In a picture, Lucius' blue-gold dress was lucent next to Narcissa's purple ones, that was blazing. When

When he entered his dress robes were dazzling for a minute, blinding everyone. His ego set off his dress robes and everyone clapped, cheeringly, loudly. The picture of him entering, emitting a binding light repeated on a loop. People clapping were in the border of the photo.

Lucius was the talk of the town and Veela mascots hmgot word of his greatness. He would be recruited for the squad too.

The Quibbler photographs had a picture of their own. Their robes were respectively effugulent, gleaming, splendid, fluorescent, and glow-in-the-dark. They had the appearance of woodland nymphs or witches from muggle tales.

The cauldrons were glow in the dark and Slughorn gave the reporters the glow in the dark handles of the cauldron, so he could see them coming from afar in the dark room.

'Proxy Lady Red Is Caught Red Handed'

Ruperta thought the title could be less accusatory, but beggars can't be choosers. The Quibbler was fair and balanced. And ethical journalism. The article only quoted what the trio actually said. And speculated on Proxy Lady Red marrying Sterlinge in the future, making him Proxy Lord Red.

Ruperta almost spewed her juice everywhere at the image of the actual Lord Black becoming Lord Red By Proxy. She would have to finish breakfast soon to see Regalus' reaction right way.

The rest of the article was Sterlinge's entrance, the light power shift, Sterlinge's oath if fealty(irony the real Lord Black swore fealty to his heir), and Sirius asking Sterlinge to cut in a dance for great light effects. Sirius' admission of courting Emmeline fit in an entire paragraph. A photo of them dancing was there.

Ruperta liked how the article mentioned her real name was Rupertau and her nicknames were Ruperta and Rupertaus. Rupertus was a popular name for medieval kings, and Rupertaus was called that by the twins as the queen of stealthy pranks. The twins shared this info with the Quibbler.

The article had their picture under their quote. They were dancing with their dates. Rupe offered them the robe light charm but they had their own charm. Their robes looked like one flowly, regal robe when they stood together and parted in an eye pleasing way when they went serrated directions. Two photos captured this eye pleasing charm work.

Ruperta found Regalus at his hide out right after breakfast. She asked the twins to pretend they knew she was a bit sick for the next few days and they agreed without any questions. "How do you fare Lord Red By Proxy?" she asked, as a way of greeting.

She watched Regalus' face change from shock to indignant. "I never thought stepping in for Sirius would lead me the rightful Lord Black, as Siruushasnt changed his mind, to Lord Red By Proxy. Yet still a better lord than the world's Lord Black."

Rup laughed. "To be fair, the world would worry if your weren't." They laughed.

Then Reglaus pulled out the bright green shrinking solutions and the biege voice changing solutions. "Bottoms up!" They both downed both portions

A half an hour later Regalus and Ruperta, shruken to the size of pixies, were in kreacher's pocket. Kreacher appeared to a corner of Diagon Alley. He made himself blend in with the background. And climbed to a roof of one shopp, to get in the opening of a chimney.

One he magically seated himself, Regalus and Ruperta cast the Sonorus spell with the giant wand in Kreacher's pocket.

Out of a direction no witch, wizard, death eater, hag, or any creature could guess, a voice boomed. "NINA OLGA PINKE, THIS IS DOLORES KIMBERLY UMBRIDGE. IF YOU QUIT YOUR ABACKALLEY DRINK PEDDLING I WILL KILL YOUR HIGHEST PAYING BUYERS. I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE."

Every person in Diagon Alley stopped in their tracks. "Dolares?" Dolohov asked his fellow death eater, Alecto. "What's going on?" They ran to the Thee Broomsticks but Rosemerta was at the bar, looking genuinely bewildered.

Another voice was heard, "SHUT UP DOLORES KIMBERLY UMBRIDGE. THIS IS GELLERT WARREN, NINA OLGA PINKE'S UNCLE. IF YOU DON'T STOP THREATENING MY NEICE I WILL CHUCK YOU IN A MUGGLLE PRISON YOU PIGSHIT TOAD."

"SHUT UP GELLET WARREN, YOUR NIECE'S DRINKS ARE PIGSHIT. I DOLORES KIMBERLY UMBRIDGE WILL KILL HER MOST HIGHWST PAYING BUYER. IF SHE DOES NOT FACE ME RIGHT NOW AND TELL ME SHE QUIT HER BACKALLEY PEDDLING, I WILL DISMEMBEROR OR CASTR- YOU ONE WHAT - ALL HER ADMIRERS WHO TRY TO PROTECT HER."

"YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING DOLORES KIMBERLY UMBRIDGE, I WILL GET YOU ARRESTED FOR SPENDING YOUR STIPEND FROM THE DARL LORD ON MUGGLE FOOD. YOU EAT TOO MUCH MUGGLE FOOD, YOUR BLOOD IS CORRUPTED. DONATE YOUR BLOOD AND POISON OTHER PEOPLE."

"THAT'S EXACLTY WHAT I'LL DO. I'LL DONATE MY BLOOD AND INFECT YOUE WHORE OFNA NIECE. TELL STOP CORRUPTING THE STUDENTS WHO GO TO DIAGON ALLEY OR KNOCKTURN ALLEY. THE ONLY THING SHE DONATES IS SPIT."

There was a large crowd around Hogsmesde now.

"YOU JUST WAIT DOLORES KIMBERLY UMBRIDGE, I'VE CALLED YOUR MASTER. THE DEATH EATER AURORS ARE COMING TO YOUR HIDE OUT TO GET YOU AS WE SPEAK."

"YOU CAN'T GET, YOUR NEICE'S BUTTERBEER MEAD CROSS BAN BY A DEATH EATER RAID."

The death eaters were confused now. "What happened to Umbridge?" Rowle asked Bellarrix, he ws stationed in England to patrol Diagon Alley. "Dolores Umbridge works in the ministry right? Why is she yelling at someone unknown? Did she catch a muggle born or something?"

"Yes and i don't have. The faintest idea," Bellatrix replied, bewildered. Then she stormed the area looking for Umbridfe and she went up to the street, demanding to know if anyone knew Nina. But no one knew what was happening.

"NO MORE MEAD BUTTERBEER CROSS DRINKS, NO MORE DRINKS THAT ARE WORSE THAN PIGSHIT. THANKS DOLORES KIMBERLY UMBRIDGE YOU ARE GOOD FOR ONE THING. IF I SEE YOU MAKING BUTTERBEER MEAD MIXED DRINKS I WILL GROUND YOU NINA OLGA PINKE. AND YOU DOLORES KIMBERLY UMBRIDGE, GET YOUR PIGSHIT MUGGLE FOOD WHILE YOU CAN. CONSIDER IT YOUR LAST MEAL FOR WHEN THE DEATH EATERS FIND YOU. I CAN TURN EVERYHING TO GOLD EVEN PIGSHIT. YOU TURN EVERYTHING THAT'S SACRED AND HOLY AND WIZARDLY TO PIGSHIT."

The Diagon Alley suddenly erupted in chaos. Atleast the Death Eaters were distracted. They were searching for Umbridge and other two people.

Regalus, Ruperta, and Kreacher held in their peals of laughter as Kreacher appearated away. Once Kreacher appeared back to the tree with a Fidealous. They burst out in uncontrollable laughter.

Kreache shrunk their mac salad and blondies. And they ate as they laughed, recounting the moments. They planned their next prank. A hidddn muggle recorder near the muggle entrance of the Leaky Cauldeon.
