Flitwick's Genocide 2
The British population of wizards and witch's might have called it the Thirteenth Goblin Rebellion. But History is written by the victors. It was named Taloon's Triumph, for the Third of That Name. At the time King of Gringotts, now Emperor of the Atlantic. Barely a footnote, is the mixed-race instigator of what Humans call The Massacre of Hogwarts.
To you, the archivist first to open this ball of force, Greetings. It is not our place to question, but our Sovereign sealed this record for two generations after His passing. Thus, the truth as witnessed.
There is some conflict in official history, but Filius Flitwick is listed as both a fairly exalted sub-Bashar and later a lowly Immenbrech. This does not square with the male's apparent military record, nor his seeming contribution to Goblin history. Nor can this record answer.
While Goblin legions moved openly, first on the witches and wizards of Britannia and on to the Muggles, Filius of Clan Flitwick was cheered and lauded all through the caverns. Fetted on a victorious smashing of multiple vaults of Humans calling themselves ancient and noble. After three days of ritual feasting plundering and drinking, the hero was summoned to The Presence.
The Gringotts executives, few seen by Humans, wore increasingly gaudy and lavish outfits. Taloon Third of That Name wore a simple business suit, common in Muggle offices everywhere. Simple, except for the fact that every stitch was 100% pure gold; even socks and briefs. The audience went awry from the instant of opening. From His throne, our Sovereign commanded brusquely "Guards! Seize him!"
"I abase myself before Your Supremacy!" the hero protested as his arms and legs were immobilized. Even stripped of his ceremonial d'k tahg.
At a royal hand-signal half-a-dozen further guards interposed themselves between the King and the hero. He sat back on the Throne which was a single jade stone. King Taloon ordered "Under no circumstances is he to approach me. No doubt, We profited from his actions, but a traitor is a traitor. And We will never trust a traitor, even one We created."
"My allegiance to Your Supremacy has never wavered." Filius declared as he was forced to his knees. Arms were pinned between sharp blades.
Fwaanddael of Flitwick stepped forward "As head of my clan, I ask for Your Supremacy's permission to carry out the sentence. No doubt of our loyalty must exist. But may I have clarity of the charges?"
"A Goblin cannot serve two masters." The King instructed harshly "Your warrior took an oath to a wizard. Which he betrayed. Filius Flitwick is a traitor, We have only one punishment for said crime."
The prisoner cried out "Taloon the traitor! Selling Goblin blud- -" And laughed as a full-length sword came out his chest. The blow delivered from behind by his own overlord.
