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 ready for a ahoot out to turn the tide of the war.
Regulus and Rupertin examined the troll messages side by side.

"I think we lost steam," Regulus said. "But we kept up the troll energy. Let's attach your memory to the last one."
"We can't risk sending an owl" Ruperti said.
"Yeah, let's just send it directly to the goblins by Kreacher,," Regulus said.
"Do you remember when the mauraders fcked with Severus by pantsing him on a tree? And Evans, who over one slur said in the heat of the moment, ignored Severus' mental anguish, and then bullied in in public with the Mauraders?" Ruperti 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 Severus was under severe mental duress."
"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 have 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," Ruperti 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," Regulus 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 Blacks like Bella."
Regulus 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," Ruperti said.
Regulus 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" Ruperti muttered, looking down. Shw looked up at Regulus. "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 on going war.
Ruperta wore nice rose dress robes, covered entirely with spangles. There were some fuscia sequins, peppered in.
Sirius- lord Black - wore fancy dark aqua dress robes with turquoise sequins scattered on this robes. Ruperti's robe sequins were charmed to give Sirius' robes shimmering glow making the sequins twinkle.
Sirius' aqua dress robes light up in its shimmering glory, when Ruperti 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 spangle robes a sparkling an iridescent-aqua, 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, watery reflection of Lord Black.
The Party was underway when Sanguini, a vampire, entered with who he introduced to guests as 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 Ruperti were standing next to each other as their robes dazzled the room.
When his cousin stood next to Ruperti her spangle dress robe glistered with golden black light, as well as sparkled with aqua light. And her sequins were glistening snd scintilling.
Sanguini's cousin's robes incandesced a dark ember, that flew off the robe's fabric. The jasper spangled with heat. Meanwhile the sequins on Rup's dress glistened as well as scintillated. And Sirius' robes' bright glitter light flickered, heavily a few times.
When she turned to Sirius, her robes begin glittering turquoise, more. And when she turned to Reglaus, it glistered a golden black light, more.
The timing was perfect for the Quibbler reporters to show up and capture the light trade off between Lady Black By Proxy, Lord Black and Sanguini's cousin.
"The Black Lady by Proxy and Lord Black are dimming, which will ruin the whole constellation," someone murmeres.
The crowd all started murmering. "The Black constellation is overshadowed."
"A new star joined the constellation."
"Muggleborns, half bloods, and blood traitors should never join constellations."
"The moon has replaced the constellation star out."
The Quibbler reporters were snapping away at the awkward and dubious light show. Now there was an opening for Bellatrix to get suspicious and stalk the Lord Black.
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 stars charmed on their hair and faces. Slughorn did this for the new Lady Black by Proxy.
But Slughorn himself was flabbergasted as to why the Lady Black By Proxy's robes complimented someone else, the way it complimented Lord Black.
Sanguine's cousin pulled Ruperti towards himself and gave a bow. Most of Ruperti's robes glistered a golden black light again, so she conveniently had a dim spotlight.
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 intruding on their dress robe display."
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 tk her thqt he was Regulus, 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 intrusion, but I simply wish to consider this charm, as wearing Lady Black by Proxy's favor. I sincerly apoligize if I have overstepped I will make amends at once."
Sterling bowed and everyone clapped as the Prophet reporter snapped away. "He's Reg," Ruperti muttered to Sirius. Sirius who was staring at Sterling, warily, snapped up at Ruperti's news.
Everyone was still clapping as Sirius steoped forward. "Very well Lord Zambini, it's my honor to welcome to suitor of Lady Black by Proxy and someone who swears fealty to my house. And any suitor of Lady Black by Proxy, or a lord of the Black house, would be a crucial addition to the house of black. And welcome to the House of Black. I enjoyed your personal charm, to match ours. " Sirius looked down at Sterling, holding his robes, regally. "It is my honor to share my light charm theme with you as a way for you wear Lady Black by Proxy's favor. I would also 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 a Black gold stone for being in my favor."
Ruperti made a fake black gold stone, 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. as he stepped back.
During the whole process of the robe schemes changing and Sirius' dress robes dim, regally, as he steppd back; more thick purple smoke enveloped them. The reporters caught the dazzling show in real time.
Bellatrix was going to have a long read that week.
