The next morning Amelia arrived at Hogwarts followed by Shaklebolt, Moody, Minister Fudge and Lucious Malfoy. Dumbledore was down for breakfast and showed surprise when they walked casually through the doors of the Great Hall.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" Dumbledore asked in his grandfather tone, though the group plus Harry and Draco could see through that.
"It would seem some items from last term and early this term have been hidden from us and we're recently brought to our attention. We are here to investigate this items. My Aurors and I will be asking members of staff questions about these events while you, Albus Dumbledore will be asked the same questions by the board of governors about these items." Amelia said in way of dismissal of the headmaster. "Professor McGonagall if you will join Auror Shaklebolt, Professor Flickwick with Moody we will begin. Mr. Potter I will also need to ask you a few questions about these items please be available later on."
"Yes, ma'am" Harry said. Dumbledore was sweating at this point. He was being pushed aside by Madam Amelia Bones and there was nothing he could do about it at the moment. Dumbledore was led to his office by the Minister and Lucious.
In an unused room on the first floor Minerva McGonagall was lead in by Auror Shacklebolt. She sat in one of the unused chairs and patiently waited for her questioning to begin.
"Simply put all the professors will essentially go under questioning, correct?" She asked the Auror as he set up the dicta quill.
"Yes all Professors are being questioned. We didn't state it in the Great Hall, but Amelia is currently questioning Severus Snape." He answered her question before activating the quill. "Questioning of Hogwarts Professor Minerva McGonagall. Auror Shacklebolt to do questioning. Do you Professor McGonagall agree to this questioning?"
"I, Professor Minerva McGonagall, hereby agree to the questioning of the DMLE."
"Do you know anything about the plot to potion or charm the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" McGonagall's eyes widened at the question.
"I no nothing about the potioning or charming for students."
"If you had known would you report the issue to the DMLE?"
"I would of course inform the DMLE about the issue."
"Thank you for your cooperation. This ends the interview of Minerva McGonagall." Shacklebolt ended the dicta quill before turning back to McGonagall. "We have it on good authority that someone is attempting to potion the students. If we didn't believe you were honest then truth serum would have become involved. You are free to go."
Shacklebolt rose and left the room taking his dictation with him. He met Moody in the hall where they confirmed that both Professors had said the same thing. They then headed for the interview with Snape. Upon reaching the room they found their boss sitting at a desk looking at a stunned Snape.
"Had to stun him boss?" Shacklebolt asked upon entering.
"Was waiting for the two of you and deeming it safe to just stun him. Now we have the truth serum on hand, along with permission to administer it to him. Shacklebolt please set up the Dicta quill. Moody administer the serum, only three drops Moody." Both gentlemen nodded before doing as they were asked.
"Questioning of Severus Tobias Snape, Potions Master of Hogwarts School. Amelia Bones presiding. All Aurors present will state their names."
"Kingsley Shacklebolt."
"Alastor Moody." Amelia nodded before reviving Snape.
"Name?"
"Severus Tobias Snape." Snape responded in a monotone voice.
"What house where you in at Hogwarts?"
"Slytherin."
"The truth serum is working correctly. First question, Do you know anything about the Potioning or Charming of students at Hogwarts."
"Yes."
"Please explain the reason behind this move."
"Albus doesn't want Harry Potter to have friends. He believes that the boy should only be friends with the youngest Weasley boy."
"Do you know the reason behind this and please explain."
"Yes. Albus believes that Potter has to die for the Dark Lord Voldemort to truly be defeated. There was a prophecy given before the boy was born that points to both Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom as the one to defeat the Dark Lord. Albus doesn't want either boy to become powerful. He wants them both to die, his reasoning for this I do not know. I believe he wants to be remembered as the only one to defeat two Dark Lords and live off the power and prestige that this would give him." Amelia was concerned and ended the questioning there. She now had the means to arrest Snape and remove him from the castle. Moody administered the antidote and smiled cruelly at Snape.
"Severus Tobias Snape you are under arrest for the attempted potioning of multiple students including the Heirs of Ancient and Noble houses." Amelia said as Moody placed magic suppression cuffs upon his wrists and removed his wand. "At this time we have concluded this part of your questioning, but be rest assured there will be more questions for yes to answer too. Shacklebolt please escort Snape to the guards at the gate. He is to be put in a cell and Dumbledore is not aloud anywhere near him."
Shacklebolt nodded before escorting Snape from the room. Amelia turned to Moody and nodded. They still had more professors to question. Moody went and fetched the next Professors for questioning. Snape was the only one they planned to have all three present for questioning.
"Alastor send me Mr. Potter. I want to talk to him." Moody nodded and sent Potter to Amelia.
"Madam Bones you wanted to speak with me." Harry said as he entered the room.
"I do. I have a few questions for you and want honest answers please." Harry nodded his head and sat in the chair offered to him.
"Do you know why someone is attempting to potion you?"
"I believe there is a plot between the headmaster and at least Ronald Weasley that would prevent me from having any other friends. What the plot fully I tells I have no..." Harry froze mid sentence as someone entered the room from the shadows.
"I believe I can answer that question better." Amelia wheeled around wand ready when the voice spoke behind her. Harry quickly kneeled down and waited. "You can lower your wand it won't hurt me."
"And who are you?" Amelia said lowering her wand but not putting it away.
"I am Hades god of the underworld. I was sent here by the Fates to explain something's. Hello Hadrian, you may rise I am not my brother." Hades said as he conjured a chair to sit in. "Please sit. Now to the explanation. Hadrian and Draco were sent back from a further where all Magic was wiped out. You will be their eyes and ears in the Ministry. The two off them were not really given a choice in this matter. The end of Magic all came about because Albus bloody Dumbledore believes he is the only one who knows what is good for the people. This is not true. Because of this belief he has set in motion some things that are against the will of the Gods and with workings of the fates. The first was when he left a baby on a doorstep in November. The second is when he believed that it would be best that this same child was left unloved."
Hades continued to explain the whole of what Dumbledore did to Harry had what he was still planning for him. It took the three of them three hours to go over everything. During this time Hades and even sent for the rest of the group. Hermione was astounded to meet one of the Gods, even if it was the God of the Underworld. The group including Amelia then began to plan for Dumbledore's demise.
"Harry, you need to release the will of your parents so we can find somewhere else for you to go. Don't tell Dumbledore, but you are invited to spend the holidays with Susan and I. This will give us the ability to get the will read and dealt with." Harry grimaced at that. "Problem?"
"The will is evidence against Dumbledore. He witnessed it and sent an innocent man to prison."
"Who?"
"Sirius Black, my oath sworn godfather." Amelia cussed and said she would deal with it, but that would take time, time they don't have. The meeting broke up shortly afterwards with Amelia heading back to the Ministry and the group heading for Gryffindors office.
A/N: Read and review. Thanks for the reviews.
The Gods will now begin to play a part in the fate of the wizarding world. Between them and the group they will bring Dumbledore down, but it will take time to complete.
