Second Year's End
It was evening on the Island of Sodor and the fleet were discussing the outcome and aftermath of Yzma's Challenge and Trial and the fact that while Yzma won the forces of darkness made sure that the victory felt more like a loss. Word of the events spread far and wide and the people were cheering.
"Yzma won her challenge which means we can finally go after the forces of darkness directly," Murdoch said, "Ordinally I'd say this is a time to celebrate but it's not. My driver's nephew Duncan has been tossed into a one-way portal leading to the Omega Dimension where all tossed in there will freeze to death and there is absolutely no what to escape said dimension at all."
"And let's not forget that Fudge now has Yaxley as his new Chief of Staff which means that thanks to Arcanon the Ministry is now further behind than ever," James said, "Arcanon also injured Myra so badly so as to prevent her from interfering with the challenge for position match which means Abigail is gonna be in for the fight of her life. It's times like this I wish Tori was here to give us some advice."
"Who is Tori and what do you mean by that?" Bear asked curiously.
"Victoria or Tori as she prefers to be called is a steam driven ocean tug that once worked in Bigg City Port in New Jersey for the Navy," Henry said, "My Driver and his relatives can tell you more considering they're archivists for the Navy and Marine operations just as they served as the archivists for the Ravenclaw Family. In fact my driver and his family are direct descendants of Rowena Ravenclaw herself."
"Okay that answers some unasked questions," said the Class 35 diesel, "But what does any of this have to do with Victoria the Ocean Tug?"
"Tori is a capable tugboat and member of the fleet she currently works for," said the Green Stanier Class 5, "But during her days with the United States Navy she had one weakness. She was known for being late. Now being late normally wasn't an issue since half of the time her tardiness was due to her being a good Samaritan. Unfortunately, her tardiness grated on the nerves of some of the Navy vessels and none were more annoyed than Bluenose."
"That dunderheaded dingus who caused the great fire in New Jersey in 1926 which was so bad the Arkeyan Weapon Masters were forced to intervene and fix the damage?" BoCo asked.
"That would be the very same twit," Henry said, "I'd tell you the story but we are getting a bit off topic. Long story short Bluenose and Tori despised each other."
"Tell me Bluenose met his punishment for being so foolish, reckless, and stupid," Bear asked.
"He did," Henry said, "He was court marshalled, executed, and used as target practice."
"The Arkeyan Weapon Masters do not waste any time do they," BoCo replied, "Remind me never to get on their bad side considering Myra has the Star Saber in her possession."
"Trust me if you hadn't proven yourself years ago Myra would've hacked you, Bear and the rest of the diesels into pieces as soon as she found the Star Saber to begin with," James said, "She even cleaned house on the Other Railway when the First Wizarding War came to an end because Lord Arcanon, the Most feared warlord and Dark Portal Master in the universe rallied the diesels that despised Steam Engines to help him terrorize his enemies and in return he'd crush anyone and everyone they despise or who crossed them so naturally Myra executed the diesels that agreed with him on the spot."
"Anyway let's get back to Tori," Gordon said, "While she had issues with being late due to being a good Samarian she can actually give great advice and her advice works not to mention that she works very hard when the situation comes down to it. Given this situation we need her more than ever now."
"Then where is Tori?" Murdoch asked, "My Driver's in laws would say that she would be a great help considering they're the ones leading the Hogwarts Parent Teacher Association and MEGTAF, the American Government Agency that was created not only to fend off the Kaiju but also any dark wizards witches or magical creatures that dared to attack the muggle world."
"That would explain why we have the MEGTAF military contract with the help of the Star Fleet," Bear said, "But did we have to ask for help from the Z-Stacks? You and Henry know how they are and how they used to be in America."
"Murdoch and I are well aware of that Bear and so are Gordon and James," the resident Stanier Black Five said, "But the new captain has them under control and the new members of the Z-Stacks have shown promise not to mention that the new captain is doing a good job considering she spent 10 years in the British Royal Navy and was honorably discharged for loyal service."
"That and she also happens to be a Muggleborn Witch and one that's tough as nails," Gordon said, 'she'd be a real big help right now considering that not only does she have the ballast contract but she also has the more dangerous contracts including some for the Royal Navy."
"Right now, we had best get ready," James said, "I have a feeling that Yzma saw and heard everything we were talking about and so did the Forces of Light. We're gonna need all the help we can get considering the forces of darkness are bound to have a plan or two in place to undermine any and all attempts to change the way things are just like Arcanon did at a middle school Walker tried to help improve."
The other Engines agreed, not knowing that the forces of darkness somehow had seen and heard every word that was said.
Lord Arcanon was rather pleased with himself. Despite the setbacks caused by Yzma passing her challenge, including her defeating Lucius Malfoy in a duel and Kai Malfoy's subsequent loss to Duncan Rosenblatt, things were progressing well in the overall plans. Lord Voldemort was close to getting his new body and regaining his former strength, and the Malfoys' criminal empire was still intact and providing vital support in Europe and Asia while causing no end of trouble around the world to their enemies. Yaxley had been placed as Chief of Staff before anybody could interfere which meant that Lucius Malfoy, Delores Umbridge and Corban Yaxley himself could push the agenda of the pureblood and magic only raised in the ministry and go full force on anyone who dared to cross them with a new dark magic seal placed around both the Ministry and Hogwarts, and now, his own Dark Armada was nearly complete and ready to deploy to support his already formidable battleship!
Just then, the shadowy hologram of an imposing figure appeared, breaking his contemplation.
"Emperor!" Arcanon greeted earnestly. "Our plans move forward inexorably. Our enemies grow weaker. They try so hard, but they will soon realize that their efforts are hopeless now!"
"Tell me, did you make the Kaiju Prince BEG for his life before destroying him?" the dark figure asked, a grin almost audible in the tone of his deep voice.
Arcanon's smile fell slightly as he stood from his seat. "Duncan Rosenblatt is of no concern to us," Arcanon replied, trying to sound sure and firm. But the eyes of the large, shadowy figure blazed fiery red with anger!
"YOU LET HIM LIVE?!" the Emperor roared.
"He was... too strong, too powerful," Arcanon was loathe to admit.
"I HAVE NO USE FOR EXCUSES! I have violated the Sacred Laws to help you expand my empire without the Tournament! If the Elder Gods learn of our plot and my interference in your realm we shall ALL suffer grave consequences! I have given you the tools to deal with the ONLY one in your realm too powerful for you and your allies without my help! AND YOU STILL FAIL?!"
"I was not able to destroy Rosenblatt, but I WAS able to exile him to the Omega Dimension, Emperor!" Arcanon quickly answered, as the Emperor appeared ready to smite him for his 'failure'. The Emperor visibly relaxed somewhat.
"Then perhaps you have not failed me after all, Arcanon. Very well. Continue with the plans and keep me apprised. Above all, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR ENEMIES! The power of the Human Spirit-magical or mundane-is not to be taken lightly."
Lord Arcanon understood knowing that The Emperor was not one to tolerate failure lightly.
In the hospital wing it was the day before the students were to return to school and Yzma was recovering from both her battle against Lucius Malfoy and her challenge. The rest of the staff were present aside from Lockhart who Yzma already told Dumbledore to fire by Valentine's Day. Alex was also present to give the news to the staff.
"So how did Yzma's Trial go?" Professor Sprout asked, "I can only guess that it was difficult."
"The Trial itself was difficult and Lucius Malfoy played exactly as Albus said he would. But Professor Paradox was able to swing the case by using the drops of time," Alex spoke, "Unfortunately the Eight Governors of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters were deadlocked four to four which meant that Yzma had to face Lucius in battle to win her trial and her challenge. After that Duncan defeated Kai in order to reduce the Malfoy's protection back to level 1 while Yzma and her relatives gained Level 2 protection."
"Thank goodness for that," Professor Charity Burbage spoke feeling safer than ever, "Now I can get even tougher on these blood purist bigots in the school and with Duncan's help that should be a simple and easy task."
"Unfortunately, there's more bad news on that front. Duncan, Yuzu, and Pele went to go and face the Armada of Darkness but I don't know what happened beyond that," Alex said, "All I know is that somehow Arcanon defeated Alaric and somebody known as Corban Yaxley is now the Chief of Staff of the British Ministry of Magic and Myra's in a hospital bed."
"We did defeat the Armada of Darkness with help but Duncan unfortunately wound up being sucked into a portal when the Darkness Command Ship exploded," Yuzu spoke.
"And from what I can make out said portal was forged to suck him in particular," Pele added, "And it was freezing cold to the point where I could feel my fire breath going out."
"Need I remind everyone present of the consequences of Corban Yaxley as Chief of Staff?" Professor Snape spoke, "Alaric kept detailed information of the employees at the ministry, students that went to Hogwarts or abroad, and cross referenced those names with the list of all the British Military Personal which means that Yaxley and by extension Umbridge and the Malfoys have all that information to themselves."
"And if any of the non-bigoted students give the children of the conservative circles any problems or oppose them in any way shape or form then not only will the forces of darkness crush their relatives, Umbridge will see to it they are completely destroyed socially speaking," sighed Professor Sinistra, "And the worst part is that Abigail Bones is due to face Varis Malfoy in the Arena for her seat on the Hogwarts Board of Governors and even with the Star Saber the odds are she's gonna lose. I'm saying that for the time being until we get the situation with the forces of darkness under control perhaps we should keep our heads down and tell the rest of the student body to do the same. They'll survive. That's how I survived Hogwarts when You-Know-Who's followers attended considering most came from Slytherin and I myself was sorted into Slytherin."
"Fortunately, Alaric did NOT keep those files in his office at the Ministry," Margaret Rosenblatt smirked. "He kept them stored on crystals in a specially designed and hidden vault in Potter Manor that can only be opened with a password spoken in dragon-tongue. Yaxley and Umbitch can turn his former office inside-out, upside-down and blow it up and still find NOTHING! So, the HELL with letting those little bigots run roughshod over the school! The students remain free to defend themselves! Bullies CAN'T be bullies without victims, and victims aren't victims if they REFUSE to be! When the children know that, so do the parents."
"Margaret are you saying that the Bones and Potter families have been linked somehow?" Tohru asked, "How is that possible? I assumed that Alaric would keep that information at Bones Manor. And what if Yaxley or Umbridge come after Amelia next to make Alaric hand over the information they seek?"
"I can answer that," Amelia said as she entered. "Bones Manor would have been too obvious a target. Besides, keeping a small security office in the far safer and more secure home of our closest ally, the Potters, just makes sense. And with the vault requiring dragon-tongue to open, no one can force Alaric to open it, because he CAN'T. Only a POTTER can."
"Couldn't any Dragon-priest open it?" Snape asked.
"No, because it requires a PASSWORD in dragon-tongue," Margaret smirked. "And only the family knows it and would die before helping our enemies."
"And the information that Alaric has isn't the only thing that's being kept there," said Grimsley as he joined his wife Amelia and patted her on the ass, "Tell me is anyone here familiar with Bonemarks?"
"As a Dragon Priest I'm well versed about Bonemarks and what they contain," said Yzma, "That's one of the first things I teach in 3rd Year Defense against the Dark Arts Class and used to teach in care of magical class at NEWT Level."
"Then fill us in," said Grimsley as the staff and guests pulled seats with the married couples sharing a seat and snuggling, "Amelia and I have to make sure Trixie channels her talent with computers and prankster abilities into something positive and not cause a mess like last time."
"That would explain why some of the Slytherin Girls wound up with the runs last year," Professor McGonagall sighed.
"You have to admit Minerva it was actually hilarious," said Professor Septima Vector before seeing the annoyed looks on everyone else's faces, "Oh right story time."
"Gladly. Bone-Marks are ancient artifacts containing the spirits of ancient war-dragons. Some hold the spirits of dragons who led different draconium civilizations while some hold the spirits of elite dragons rather than empire leaders," Yzma explained.
"I take it there's more to this," Wendy Forester the Care of Magical Creatures Professor asked.
"Indeed, there is. Bone-Marks are composed of pure crystalline Draconium and hold a lot of pure Draconium energy, making them very powerful. These bone-marks can attach themselves to modern draconium dragons and possess them," Yzma spoke, "The good news is that if the dragon in question is of pure draconium, it may resist and absorb the bone-mark, getting the ability to call upon the ancient spirit and power at will while being in control. Otherwise, the dragon will remain possessed until the bone-mark is removed."
"So, what does that have to do with us?" Jackie asked, "Shouldn't we call the proper authorities to handle this? Ow!"
"Were you not listening to what Yzma just said?" Wendy Forester snapped dope slapping Jackie.
"Thank you Wendy," said Yzma, "As I said these are ancient artifacts which means that we'll need an archeologist to handle this."
"Yep but first the one thing I want to do is ride my husband Grimsley's broomstick," Amelia said rubbing Grimsley's package through his pants.
"How about we save that for later and discuss what we're gonna do should Varis defeat Abigal and become Chair of the Hogwarts board of Governors," Grimsley spoke.
"Grimsley's right," said Wendy, "If Varis becomes chair he'll override all of Albus' decisions and make life for us hell because the bigots will just tell Varis which kids are leading the resistance and Yaxley will somehow cross reference that the ministry employes and Umbridge will make life for the parents hell."
"If he does, then the PTA will exercise our rights to pull our children out of Hogwarts immediately, regardless of any 'threats'!" Margaret said firmly. "The Board will be left 'governing' a school with barely enough pureblood bigot students to fill a single classroom! As parents, our children are more important than our own comforts! And I'll wipe the floor with Umbitch myself if she makes an issue of it!"
"Unfortunately, that's out of the question," Yzma said, "I just requested that attendance at Hogwarts be made mandatory for all students for the next school year which means the PTA can't pull the kids out of Hogwarts. I assumed that Arcanon wouldn't make a move this big and crush Alaric this soon and I asked for that to make sure the bigots would understand what MEGTAF was capable of."
WHAP!"OW!" Yzma recoiled from the 'dope-slap'.
"Was foolish move!" Uncle yelled having been the one to dope slap Yzma. "Far too soon in struggle against forces of Darkness!"
"He's right, Yzma!" Margaret snapped. "How could you do something so stupid and shortsighted?! You basically tied one of the PTA's hands behind our backs when you knew full well that our enemies ALWAYS reach for the brass knuckles! Now our ONLY recourse is to totally back our children defending themselves by whatever means is required at school! I won't be surprised if things escalate to maiming or killings even among the students because the snot-nosed pureblood bigots trying to throw their weight around and our children and the monster girls fighting back with FORCE!"
"I must agree with Lady Rosenblatt and Professor Chan, Professor Milano," Dumbledore said solemnly. "Your intentions may have been good, but it WAS the wrong time for such a move. Thankfully, the Truth-Will-Out Rules are now permanently engraved in the Hogwarts Rulebook. Varis CANNOT remove it or change it."
"But he CAN interfere with the punishments involved," Margaret huffed. "He may not be able to affect House Points or detentions, but he CAN prevent or overturn expulsions and suspensions."
"Actually, he can't unless Christina Payson Carlin nee Potter agrees with him or he beats her in a battle challenge," said Amelia spoke, "Aunt Abby told me that she put your sister in as Vice Chair of the Hogwarts Board of Governors to counter Varis as much as she can and she brought in Neville's Grandmother Augusta Longbottom to support Christina and help get the Board of Governors whipped into shape and have you forgotten about the Arkeyan Protocols that are engraved in the Hogwarts Rulebook?"
"Oh yes we haven't forgotten about those protocols," Madam Poppy Pomfrey spoke, "It's the reason why half the bigots of Slytherin house have wound up in the hospital wing with broken bones no less."
"Let's not forget that Yzma's move can work to our advantage," said Druella, "Perhaps the monster girls and incubi can fuck some sense into some of the students and help them grow a back bone. You saw how much of a backbone Phaedra Parkinson has thanks to Charlus Potter becoming her husband to be and you now see what it's done for Millicent Bulstrode in addition to making her look beautiful and helping her find her confidence. She was only acting like a jerk due to fear of having to spread her legs for Crabbe or Goyle and producing their spawn one day. Instead, she can now produce Jared Mills' spawn and open her legs for him."
"And it wouldn't hurt for some of those bigoted little snots to be claimed as husbands, Druella," Margaret smirked at the Princess.
"Of course," the lilim winked. "I happen to know a particular young kunoichi in Ravenclaw who has NOT revealed herself that has her eye on a certain blonde ferret in Slytherin who enjoys being a pest to your nephew, but only when he has his two trained apes as back up. She is...VERY beautiful. All her grandparents are 'purebloods', so it would be simple for her to... A shame she has no Arkeyan blood, though, so that Malfoy line won't continue from HIM once he's claimed. Too bad."
"Actually, the Arkeyan Weapon Masters used to rub the bellies of pregnant females human or monster to ensure that the daughters they have would be able to give birth to human sons regardless of circumstances," Professor Lisa Bei Fong spoke, "The Arkeyans also put that in a form of ointment that they sold across not only this dimension but also the dimension of the chief god. That's also how they adjusted the issues of certain family lines such as the Amanomiya family."
"Lisa has a point," said Wendy, "But what of the female bigots? What are we gonna do about them? And how are we gonna get the rest of the staff to grow some backbone? Did you not hear what Aurora was suggesting?"
"Captain Black might know somebody in MEGTAF that can help us," Jade suggested.
"Good idea Jade," Jackie said before doing a double take, "Jade how did you get in here? More to the point how much did you hear?"
"Everything up to this point," Jade said, "And frankly what Professor Sinistra needs is somebody by her side. Anyway, back to Professor Forester's question. What are we gonna do about the female bigots like Rowle, Sevenstone, Wyvern, and the Acne girl in the same year as Edna?"
"I might have a couple ideas on what to do," Charity Burbage said, "And frankly Aunt Yzma's intent was to get the muggleborn children to Trent and Carlos' classes to grow some spine. It's like Walker said at Chisolm Middle School. Children need to feel like they belong in a safe environment or we'll lose them to drugs, gangs, and suicide. Perhaps we should bring him, Trivette, Gage, Sydney, Trent, and Carlos and ask them what they think of the situation."
"I think we might want to return to our main issue do we have any idea on how to corral the bonemark?" asked Professor Tonks, "The forces of darkness are most likely going to attempt to send somebody to get it."
"Ted's right which is all the more reason why we need to find the Furox first," said Yzma, "Minerva, Gryffindor house contains the dragon racers that ride red magma class dragons or white sky class dragons led by Russell Carlin of House Potter and captain of the Gryffindor Dragon Racing team. Who among Gryffindor house would be the most likely target for the Furox Bonemark and why?"
"If you were to ask Severus this question then he'd peg the entire house as reckless enough to get the bonemark," McGonagall replied, "That said most of my cubs have a lot of sense in them thanks to the magical prep school giving them a lesson about the houses in general. Still, I would say the likely candidates among them would be Ms. Eris Heaver and Ms. Payson Carlin. If what you said about the Scale Citadel is true then they would have the necessary skill to survive the deadly traps inside."
"Let's not forget our other set of problems," said Yuzu, "But thanks to Yzma's victory we can now send the Skylanders to assist us in battle and I can send some of them to help track down wanted criminals or death eaters that Arcanon somehow managed to help evade justice or break out of prison. One of which happens to be Peter Pettigrew."
"Bring me and all of my relatives and in laws along Yuzu," said Margaret firmly, "We all have something we want to say to that filthy traitorous rat bastard!"
"They're not the only criminals we need to hunt down. The Dursleys are still free and we have no idea where they're hiding and even if we did know we can't bring them back to face justice since they're currently under Arcanon's protection somehow," Aurea Dumbledore spoke, "My guess is that after the fiasco in Egypt he's not gonna put them in another safehouse. They'd be somewhere inside of his headquarters and we have no idea where his headquarters is somehow and even if we did we lack the needed firepower to shoot it down."
"Pettigrew and the Dursleys are not the only ones who need to answer for their actions," Pele said, "The Arkeyan Weapon Masters need a wakeup call but the Igasaki Clan need to get their heads in the game and focus. Every moment they undermine the Arkeyans and their allies due to Arcanon pointing them at the Arkeyans is more ammo for the Arkeyans to attack and that in turn is causing them to lose sight of who the real enemy is."
Little did they know that once again the mysterious warlord that was assisting Lord Arcanon had seen and heard everything and decided to send this information to Delores Umbridge and give all of Umbridge's enemies a reason to fear and obey her.
In Malfoy Manor, Lord Arcanon, Varis Malfoy, and Delores Umbridge were discussing as Lucius and Kai were resting from their arena battles. They were going over the fact that Rita skeeter was currently out of reach for the time being.
"Varis are you certain that you'll be able to win your match and crush Abigail Bones in the arena?" Lord Arcanon asked, "Even if Abigial somehow gets a power up or a relic to help her?"
"Of course, Varis will win and prove that the losses against Lucius and Kai were nothing more than pure fluke," Umbridge said, "After all there is a reason that we pureblood still rule supreme in Magical Britain despite the attempts of certain mudbloods, filthy beasts and all the other filth that dares to oppose us. They will learn to know their place and bow down to their betters or they will pay the ultimate price for defiance. Varis Malfoy's victory and the army you have at your beck and call will make sure of that."
"And incase addition back up in needed the one who is backing Arcanon taught me techniques to not only crush Abigail Bones but make sure her entire family feels the full extent of my wrath just as I crushed Abigail Bones in the arena before," Varis spoke, "Anyone who dares to oppose the cause of pureblood supremacy will share the same fates as the Prewetts, the Bones, the McKinnons, and the entire Order of the Phoenix."
"Then I don't have to worry about Yaxley's position as Chief of Staff or the information we seek to crush any and all resistance in the ministry being out of our reach then?" Umbridge asked.
"Already covered and I even have a way to make sure that those who have crossed you in the past or insulted you by calling you toad face or Umbitch will never do so ever again," Lord Arcanon said.
"Excellent work Lord Arcanon," Umbridge said as she smiled widely upon hearing that, "Let's get started at once and start cleansing the ministry of the filth that the blood traitors have brought in."
"Unfortunately, with the Truth Will Out Bill now permanently engraved in the ministry charter along with the dual citizenship bill not to mention the Truth Will Out Bylaw now permanently engraved in the Hogwarts rulebook Varis and myself cannot get those removed or changed," Corban Yaxley the new Chief of Staff for the British Ministry said as he arrived, "However there is a loophole in the power of the minister. All Fudge has to do is pass an educational decree that renders the truth will out bylaw useless and we will once again have the school running the way it should be run. Unfortunately, the Arkeyan Bylaws override all other bylaws and bills on Earth but Arcanon has that covered."
"Indeed, I do and with my new fleet I'm about to make an example out of the Arkeyans just like I did to the Texas Rangers and those who dared to support their efforts," said Arcanon before pulling out an ornate staff instead of Deathcalibur, "And this relic known as the Cosmic Staff is going to make it happen. I used it to get the Sky boom Shield which means that the Star Saber is no longer a problem anymore. Not that it matters since I just brutally thrashed Myra and destroyed the Star Saber itself allowing us to do as we please for all eternity."
"I hope you made that filthy beast suffer," Umbridge asked gleefully.
"Yep and even if the virus somehow gets cured the only Keyblade Masters left have a huge grudge against the Arkeyan Weapon Masters and have had one for the past 500 years," Arcanon said, "Which means nothing and nobody can stop us thanks to the increase in negative energy after the Rosenblatt pest's banishment."
The forces of darkness all laughed evilly and loudly knowing that with the way things were going and the firepower at their command all hope of stopping them was truly lost, the forces of light would fall and nobody would dare to oppose them ever again.
The next day when the students returned to the school the muggleborns were eager to hear what Professor Yzma Milano and Margaret Rosenblatt had to say as were the monster girls since they knew that Yzma and Margaret were the only ones willing to stand up to the bigots since the rest of the staff other than Coach Barnes, Professors Chan and Burbage refused to do anything about it because of the fear of another beating at the hands of Kai Malfoy or an even worse beating at the hands of Kai's father Varis or even worse an entire massacre at the hands of Lord Arcanon. The Daily Prophet mentioned that the Armada of Darkness fell after Duncan was presumed to be dead for opposing said Armada and the pilots responsible for helping Yuzu, Pele, Bowser, Thrillipede, Stormblade, Astroblast, Jet-Vac, and Stealth Elf wound up beaten so badly to the point where they'd never move again along with all of their relatives and to make matters worse their homelands all wound up attacked and devastated on the spot and to add insult to injury and rub salt in the wound the forces of darkness made the pilots in question watch helplessly.
"This is getting much worse much faster than we thought," Payson gulped as she was terrified, "The forces of evil are getting stronger and stronger despite Yzma's victory and now with Yaxley as Chief of Staff anyone who crosses the bigots in the ministry is next."
"We need to continue to resist, we need to stand up and show that we're not gonna take this anymore," Hermione replied showing courage and bravery, "We need to get right in their faces and fight back! We need to show the forces of evil and pureblood bigotry that they are nothing but cowardly whiners! Now are you with us or not?"
"Do you really need to ask?" Thomas Lawrence Black the new 5th year Prefect for Gryffindor House and first-born son of Sirius Black asked, "The House of Black that contains the non-bigoted members has your back. Dad is really considering bringing Sarlanda, Lester, Rachel, Zayden, Cassiopeia, and Astraea back into the fold but he cannot do so until they become of age."
"You do realize of course cousin Hermione that we all run the risk of sharing the same fate as some of Walker's students in his kick drugs out of America program," Cornelia Granger 4th year Hufflepuff and Hermione's cousin said, "They wound up butchered at the hands of Arcanon's minions for interfering with one of the gangs that Arcanon does business with and Arcanon sent Vehicons to destroy Walker's truck and sent Shadowkhan to kill the relatives of said students before he casted the dark mark over the homes after burning them down to a crisp right. He even beat the parents within an inch of their lives for supporting Walker at the same time Arcanon helped a crime boss escape. Arcanon's dark powers are beyond measure and I'm terrified beyond all rational thought at this point and I have Arkeyan DNA no less."
"That's why you were sorted into Hufflepuff sis," said Richard Granger, 3rd year Gryffindor and Hermione's cousin, "As an Angel you're not much of a fighter while our siblings are anyway. Still, we can't let the bigots take over. This is our school, our life, and our future."
"The Daily Prophet has probably been cursed to print only bad news and I bet all of the other publications have been cursed to do the same by now," Ron said, "I'm not surprised since the Daily Prophet's been full of scandal and half the staff have probably been strong armed by the ministry but the forces of darkness are doing all they can to destroy all hope of stopping them. they want to eliminate all who cross them. that said count me in to oppose the forces of darkness no matter what."
"You do know that your mom is gonna have a heart attack and forbid you from getting involved in anything that could destroy your future and get you expelled or worse killed and tell the rest of your siblings the same thing right," Carol said to Ron, "If only Walker were here to inspire the Hogwarts PTA. He'd be able to talk sense into them. That said Ron are you still with us or not?"
"Count me in," Ron said, "Fred and George would love to make life hell for Malfoy and his gang and Ginny is not somebody you want to cross."
"Trust me I spoke to her a couple of times and you're right about that," said Wendell Carlin, "But there's one more question that needs to be answered. Who else is with us?"
"To answer that I may as well contribute to the resistance," Maggie Perkins of Gryffindor spoke, "All of Hogwarts knows by now that I don't take shit from anyone and half of Slytherin fears me."
"Even the staff all know that by now considering the beatings you've handed the Slytherins due to your Arkeyan DNA and the Arkeyan Protocols," said Harry, "I still can't believe they have shares in Grunnings since the day the company was founded and they put in a new company director to replace Vernon after firing him on the spot like they should've done years ago had they known how he was treating me and my sisters. I bet Arcanon prevented them from doing that and made sure the company didn't notice."
"The Forces of Evil are ruling supreme and with Dark Magic reigning across all the territories under their iron rule and even across North America all hope faith and confidence has already started fading away," Abigail Potter said holding her pet cat/Kneazle Hybrid, "I'm terrified beyond rational thought of what the Dursleys will do once Arcanon helps them get revenge for the way things are now."
"Even if Arcanon does help the Dursleys, even if Arcanon covers the planet in Darkness by supporting the pureblood bigots and slaughtering all who dare to oppose them, even if he seems invincible, and unstoppable, know this," Daisy said showing some backbone, "We must remember that even in the darkest of times when all hope, faith and confidence seems dead, a light still shines from within. That's why I told Marissa all that was going on and all we suffered at the hands of the Dursleys when she was the school counselor at primary school. That is why I will continue to resist, continue to fight back, and continue to stand up to the bigots even if it's just me and my draconium dragon."
At the faculty table Yzma was going over some last-minute discussion with the staff knowing Lockhart would be gone by the end of the school year.
"Yzma are you really sure you want to do an open forum class now of all times?" Professor Sinistra spoke worried about Yzma's safety, "The last time you suggested that most of the school governors said no and they will pressure the other governors to make sure of that again. Not to mention that with your challenge over Abigail Bones is no longer the only one on the Hogwarts Board of Governors whose voice is the only one that matters and you no longer hold the influence you did."
"Maybe but maybe not. Either way an open forum class is just what we need in the coming dark times and the school councilor is in charge of that," Yzma spoke, "This will give me the chance to regain my skills as a teacher and allow Abigail Bones the rest of the year to be the only voice on the Hogwarts Board of Governors that counts. That's another thing I asked the Arkeyan Governors for since I won my challenge."
"Yzma's right Aurora," Margaret Rosenblatt added, "With one of the PTA's hands tied behind our back for the moment thanks to Yzma's piss poor move and timing of said move this will allow us to pick out the students who are on the edge and get them help before it's too late. It's worked well in Ilvermorny and I believe it can help here at Hogwarts to build confidence."
"The Magical Prep Schools have helped the muggleborn students and students from impoverished families out a lot," Professor McGonagall said, "But after the abuse James and Lily's children suffered and Marissa being the only one able to attempt to do anything about it we need an open forum class. The only problem is how to keep the information in said class from somehow getting back to all of our enemies."
"Minerva's right about that," said Aurea, "Marissa said she brought the information of the Potters and any other students terrified of the fat Dursley pig to her husband Nicolas Angel and I'll let you guess the rest."
"Let me guess they still somehow found out and I mean the Dursleys in case I wasn't clear," Professor Sinistra spoke as Aurea nodded in confirmation, "Like I said before we need to keep our heads down and our mouths shut next year. We'll survive and so will the parents. That should keep the violence down to a minimum until Myra recovers and defeats Varis to take the position as Chair of the Hogwarts Board of Governors. Not that it's gonna matter with Arcanon present."
"Aurora are you so used to avoiding a fight that you turn tail and run at the sight of trouble?" Aurea asked the Astronomy Professor shocked, "Perhaps Hufflepuff would've been a better fit for you. Either way I think you need to spend a year with some friends of Professor Rosenblatt's while I teach astronomy. That should help build your confidence."
"Aurea not that I don't think you're qualified to teach but to avoid any confusion with your cousins I think it would be best if Professor Lisa Bei Fong or myself teach Astronomy for a year," said Victoria Bathory, "Besides Potions and Defense Astronomy was also a subject I excelled in at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In Ilvermorny Non-Magical Studies is a required class for all Pureblood and Magic only raised students and has been so since the very beginning."
"With all that has happened perhaps some of how things are done at Ilvermorny with discipline being the big thing are needed here at Hogwarts," Albus said, "Thank the sweet lord above that we have a full-time administrative staff to handle the paperwork and more than one teacher for each of the subjects and a secretary. That's going to make things at Hogwarts run much smoother."
"The thing is the Uniform policy may have worked at a middle school in Texas Walker helped before Arcanon reversed all of Walker's hard work by somehow getting hold of a set of powerful artifacts but I don't think the policy is going to work here no do I think it is wise to incur Arcanon's full wrath," Professor Vector said.
"If we are going to make any positive change at all we need to go full force and that means we need to get Myra back on her feet," Professor Sprout spoke, "Yzma did you get any sensu beans for winning your challenge. We're gonna need all the sensu bean potion we can get for the next school year and all the supplies we can get as well."
"Already done and I already had a new greenhouse with plans from Princess Druella's homeland created and some new plans from Skylands ready," the Deputy Headmistress said, "I asked for a supply of Japanese Monkey tears and some non-magical plants like rare Japanese seaweed. I don't know why I did that and I have no clue what we'll do with it but it may come in handy."
"You really do think three steps ahead Yzma," said Professor Flitwick before turning his attention to Margaret Rosenblatt, "But about the new open forum class Margaret, how are you going to keep that information from falling into the wrang hands or getting to our enemies. If what Aurea said was true then not even the Arkeyan Weapon Masters stand a chance."
"Margaret and I talked about that and the wards at Potter Manor are going to be applied to a classroom on the 4th floor," said Yzma, "That was another thing I asked the Arkeyans for and it's not just improvements to Hogwarts. I also added in some improvements to the Ministry and all the news publications in Magical Britain as well as the media in the form of typewriters. The Muggleborn, Muggle Raised half-bloods and monster girls have the option to use them just as all items using ink such as fountain pens were introduced. Basically, I'm bringing in MACUSA ideas into the ministry just as I'm bringing in Ilvermorny ideas to Hogwarts."
"That will make things much more efficient and since it's also permanently engraved in the charter the bigots can't remove it," Charity spoke, "Nor can Yaxley fire anyone at the ministry for one year which gives us the time we need to come up with a plan."
"Indeed, it will but the time has come to make my announcement," Yzma spoke as she stepped up to the podium to speak. Before she could however Electra dashed in and she looked singed as she had a scroll in her mouth, "By the Ancestors what happened to you?"
"I'm sorry Yzma is this a bad time?" Electra asked, "I was attacked by Shadowkhan augmented by the undead. I bring news from General Jack O'Neil."
Yzma opened and read the scroll and narrowed her eyes as this was a summons to MEGTAF one week from the end of the School Year.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I've been called to action in the United States and it seems that when the year ends I'm to bring along the entire Hogwarts Faculty and some familiar faces," Yzma spoke, "One more thing, I'm also introducing a new class, An open forum class next year but for the rest of the year Athena Goddess of Wisdom is going to take the lead in defense while I resume my role as School Counselor for the rest of the year. My challenge as you all know has ended with my victory and the Malfoy Clan's defeat namely Lucius and Kai's defeats at the hands of myself and Duncan Rosenblatt respectively. However, for consistency sake Abigail Bones and myself still have the powers we have for my challenge and a new power for the next year. That means I will select the prefects, the Head Boy and Head Girl for the next school year and the decision I make is final."
The school with the exception of the bigoted faction breathed easy at that while the conservative bigoted faction were furious beyond measure and vowed to get vengeance upon all their enemies one day.
After that announcement the rest of the school year passed in a blaze of glory, Athena whipped Defense Class into shape after Yzma fired Lockhart on the spot and the students that were terrified before began speaking to Yzma who listened to their concerns and wrote down their thoughts in Journals that they passed to the Potters somehow knowing that they'd get this information to Margaret Rosenblatt. Coach Bradley 'Blitz' Barnes put the bigots in their place with Yzma's help whenever they stepped out of line and had the support of the Gods of the Greek Pantheon in the form of Artemis and Ares.
Soon enough the House Cup Ceremony had arrived and Gryffindor thanks again to Harry Potter and his sisters Daisy and Abigail with help from their cousins on their father's side of the family had not only won the house cup but also the Quidditch and Dragon Racing Cups as well due to the leadership of Russell Carlin and Oliver Wood with Zeus Potter supporting and stepping in to rally the whole of Gryffindor House.
Yzma was at the podium again ready to make the final announcement of the year knowing that the real battle would start a week from the end of the year.
"As you all know the time has come for me to select Next Year's prefect and the new Head Boy and Head Girl. Usually this is done over the mail by owl post but this year I thought I'd make the announcement now. After careful consideration and with input from the staff I have selected and will present the Prefects for the next year," said Yzma Milano, "From Slytherin house I have selected Andreas Greengrass and Velma Rosier, from Hufflepuff House I have selected Torvald Mills and Cornelia Granger, from Ravenclaw House I have selected Alex Belby and Reiko Takaya, and from Gryffindor House this was a difficult decision but after careful consideration I have chosen Lawrence Candle III and Verity Potter for the role. As for the Head Boy and Head Girl I have considered carefully and I have chosen Zeus Potter and Rebecca Angel for the role of Head Boy and Head Girl next year. This decision was made after carefully reviewing all the events of not only this year but every single event that has led to this point with the events of the previous school year being the big reason behind my decision. Now that all is said and done. Dig in."
The students began digging into the end of the year feast and were surprised at how at transfer student got the job while some who expected Percy Weasley to get the job were shocked that Zeus Potter cousin of Harry Potter got the job. The students with Arkeyan relatives or Arkeyan DNA were not surprised at all by Yzma's selections since Yzma had a photographic memory and knew the backstabbing of last year was the biggest factor in said decision. They also knew that unfortunately the Arkeyan Weapon Masters would make sure that when all was said and done all of creation would feel the full wrath of the Arkeyan Empire and would never forget it. They unfortunately knew that after all was said and done Arcanon would push back and make all of creation feel his entire wrath and his wrath would be worse than that of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters.
