343A/N: sorry for the extreme delay but I was working on my weapons designs (s.m.g., assault rifle etc),now that I am in negotiations with companies I have some free time again. Now enjoy! Also I have not prof-read this chapter.
Amelia Susan Bones, Director of D.M.L.E., Reagent of Most ancient and most noble house of Bones was excited. With how things have been lately, with reemergence of Harry Potter - or as he was now Potter-Baghel-Black - and of House of Baghel, it was not a new thing but today is special. Special in the sense that the aforementioned Harry Potter had told her that today is going to be interesting. That was the thing that got her excited. That guy did interesting thing without even giving a warning; for him to say it, this meant this was going to be huge.
She was so looking forward to this meeting of Wizengmot if last month was any testament and any indication today will be the 'caught the snitch moment' and what a month it was.
Just after a few days of the celebratory Ball that was thrown for the occasion of bonding between Harry and French Champion Fleur Delacour they announced that they now had the cure for Cruciatus induced insanity, complete with a healthy Frank and Alice Longbottom as proves.
The Prophet had a field day at how an eleven year was able to find out a cure for the thing that had healers with lifetime of experience banging their heads on wall in confusion. The excited chatters about this cure died a swift and painful death when prophet announced that the cure was not made public by the Baghel Family and will be kept a family secret.
If that was big news to public then next was a cofringo at point blank. The news of alliance between Hogwarts and Magical France took the nation by storm. While normally it would not have been big news but the nature and detail of the alliance made everyone nervous. The fact that Hogwarts will side with magical France in any armed conflict, giving complete support and also healing any Crucaitus and insanity curse victim was terrible blow to the moral of many of her officers. But it was the tactical side of her department that was having nightmares.
Once in the Hogwarts the French army will have an 'in' with the international portkey wards that surrounded Magical Britain as they surround any nation. After that, anyone skilled enough can make a portkey or apprate and can wreak havoc. They estimated that the longest ministry will last was a month before they blew the wards to kingdom come and turned the ministry into ashes. The option of attacking Hogwarts never even came into equation. The wards earlier were formidable but according to what they had estimated they were now a death trap for anyone attacking it.
She knew that if it was a normal session it sure would have made into the list of agendas but today many houses were going to be demoted and after the surprise of Harry, she doubted that any time would be left for it.
But that was just the 'known' part of the story, the one in front of public. The dance behind the curtain was totally a different jig. She still had trouble believing what she had been promised that day.
~ Flashback ~
She was in Hogwarts again. In the presence of Harry Potter and his fiancés, again. It was becoming a routine for her to visit the castle almost every week.
'I should ask them about an office of my own in here with the amount of time I spend here.' Amelia thought sardonically. The only thing different about this time and the other was that this time she was in here in the capability of Amelia Bones, Reagent of House of Bones not Amelia Bones, Director of D.M.L.E.
There were many other head of houses present like Head of McMillan, Diggory, Weasely, Brown etc. There were refreshment present but all of them had too many questions in their mind to pay attention to them.
As usual Harry started, "First of all thanks you for coming. Now the main reason I have called this meeting is to inform you all that my bonding to Lady Black was an emancipating event and I am now Lord Potter."
Everyone just nodded. Some were taken aback with the revelation but all of them knew not to challenge it. If family magic chose you to be the Lord of house then that was that. Period. There was no space for if, else or but in it. Even Wizengmot was helpless in that case.
Harry continued after the pause "As such I will give you all here a fair chance to leave the alliance between our houses. I am not James Potter or Charlus Potter. As you know I am not a puppet of Dumbledore.", some people snorted at the understatement "While some of you are allied to the house of Dumbledore. I am stating it clearly and frankly, House of Potter and House of Dumbledore are just a hair breadth away from feud. I am not going to re-affirm the oath of alliance with any house that is allied to the house of Dumbledore. You will have to choose one; either Potter or Dumbledore. If you chose Dumbledore, you can walk out. House of Potter will bear no ill will to you until and unless you directly try to harm us."
There were outraged faces, pensive faces and then there were face that almost said 'I don't give a shit'. The first one who tried to leave was Arthur Weasely. The key word being 'tried'.
"I am sorry Lord Potter but House of Weasely does not agree with the house of Potter on this matter and find itself at an impasse due to it, hence House of Weasely wishes break the alliance between it and House of Potter."
Seeing Arthur, some others were also gathering courage to show the brat his place when the aforementioned 'brat' spoke up "Agreed, House of Potter expects the debt that is due by the end of December. You may leave."
"What debt?"
Harry snapped his finger twice. It was a sign for Potter head elf, Brutus to appear, if it had been single Nancy would have appeared. The Baghel elves were called by names and as for Kreature, that little shit was going to get a hell of an attitude adjustment as soon as Harry could arrange it.
"Yes, My Lord." The elf bowed.
"Bring the copy of contract between House of Potter and House of Weasely."
The elf bowed again and vanished. A few second latter the copy was in the hand of Mister Weasely who was rapidly losing color of his face because of what he was reading. All this while Harry addressed the rest. "Standard procedures as you all know. If the alliance falls apart all debts are called in."
Many nodded while rest paled as the implication hit home. The loan from Charlus Potter now had enough interest accumulated on it that they will go bankrupt if it was called in.
"How much is due?" Mister Weasely asked in a strangled voice.
"Round figure, 2.1 milion." Harry answered with a straight face.
Everybody goggled at the number.
Eventually Amelia herself had to ask "How?"
"Septmus Weasely had a habit of gambling due to which he lost all his property including his house. He was married to the sister of the then lord Potter. To ensure that his sister had a home, he loaned Septimus Weasely 1500 galleons at 4.0 percent interest rate – which was quite good compared to the then normal 8 to 9 - and allowed to use land on which the now Weasely home is made upon, to build a home. The condition being that house Weasely must remain allied to house of Potter otherwise the lone will be needed to be repaid in full in a month's time and the land will be reclaimed. This was all 184 years ago."
Rest of the assembled knew what was going to happen. The people who owed House Potter backed out from opposing faster than most can blink, the rest more or less did not had any problem with what Harry did if he will help them in the time of need as alliance stated. This was because of the fact that that group was made of politically astute men. They can very well see that the wind was blowing against Dumbledore.
The rest of the meeting went in discussing general things and about not passing any vote against Hogwarts. It was after the meeting when Harry asked her to stay behind.
"Good morning Amelia." Harry and the girls greeted her with a smile.
"Good Morning. So what is this all about?" she replied while smiling.
"We want to Hogwarts to remain sovereign and we know Bumbles will try to do something so we want your help in this. More specifically of the Bones alliance." Hermione replied.
"In return we can either owe you one or you can ask for a thing in political arena here and now. If it is our power we will give it to you." Dora added.
Amelia raised an eyebrow at the blatant proposal or what many would consider bribe. "You all know that this can be considered as bribe."
"Please, Madam Bones, it is not bribe, but merely backroom politics." Fleur countered smoothly.
Amelia Bones for the first time thought about accepting such proposition. She thought long and hard before coming to the conclusion that there was no harm in doing it.
"Ok I will talk to all of allied houses. In return I want the budget for Auror corps beefed up. Substantially."
Harry cocked an eyebrow at this, "For your Auror Corps? Nothing for yourself?"
"I doubt you can give me what I want for myself." She replied.
"I am intrigued Amelia. What is that you want in political side that we can't get you with your support?"
"I think you can hardly get wizengmot to pass a no confidence motion against Fudge or get Malfoys kicked out of wizengmot or get him thrown into Azkaban for, I don't know, lifetime?" she replied sardonically.
"My my Amelia, you almost seem bloodthirsty for Malfoy's Blood. Why is that?" Dora asked with a smirk. She enjoyed oh so much when someone showed their bloodthirsty side. They were easier to negotiate with.
"He was the one who lead attacked Bones' manor and killed my family." Amelia spat out the word from between her teeth.
The atmosphere turned grim. "First three granted. Fudge will be out of his office by the end of next year and as for Malfoy, he will be dealt with by the end of the First meeting of wizengmot." Harry replied with grim smile.
Amelia's eyes were so wide in shock that her monocle fell down. " How and…and why?"
"Fudge is an idiot and since you are allied and asked for it, you will get it." Hermione shrugged.
"For Malfoy, let's just say it is Family matter." Fleur ended with a tone that promised world of pain.
For the first time in decades, Amelia felt sorry for Malfoy. She knew that what she could have ever done will pale in comparison to what this family was going to dole out on Malfoy. She just nodded.
~ End Flashback ~
Apart from that, death of Dolores Umbridge was another notable event. Her body was discovered yesterday. She was waiting for the autopsy report as while the death seemed to be fairly painful, the house was totally clean of any kind of foul play. Couldn't have had happened to anyone more deserving person if she was asked. That woman was a nasty piece of work.
At this very instance Harry and his father entered the wizengmot hall. Their action of entering the room caused a lot of chattering amongst the people present.
They both took their respective seats which just by the side of her. She smiled and greeted both of them.
"Good morning Lord Baghel, Lord Potter-Black. A nice day isn't it?"
"Good Morning Lady Bones. Fine morning it is."
"Good Morning Lady Bones. It is a nice day. Reminds me of 4th july in States. You know gatherings, drinks and … Firewoks." Harry replied with a smirk.
Amelia had to squash a bark of laughter that threatened to come out at the comparison. All she could reply was "Indeed."
At this moment Dumbledore sat in his chair and called the wizengmot into session. "All hear! My Lords and Ladies, Members and Proxy Members of the Wizengamot, please be seated so we may begin. "
After everyone sat down Rishabh stood up, "I, Lord Rishabh Singh Baghel, Lord of Most ancient and Most noble House Baghel, do hereby claim the seat of house Baghel."
Dumbledore nodded, "Lord Baghel, do you stand here today to accept the seat of Baghel House, and wear Lordship ring?"
"I do."
"And do you swear on your family's honour to uphold the laws, customs, and honour of this chamber, and work towards the betterment of magical kind in all its forms, both present and future?
"I do."
"Does anyone objects?"
When anyone did not objected he banged is gravel and called "Very well, please take your seat and help us guide this nation towards a brighter future with your wisdom."
After this Harry stood up, gathering the attention to himself, " I, Harry James Potter-Black-Baghel, Lord of Most ancient and Most noble House Potter, Most ancient and Most noble House Black, heir to Most ancient and Most noble House Baghel, do hereby claim the seats of House Black and House Potter."
No one looked shocked but many looked like they had bitten cockroaches.
"Lord Potter-Black, do you stand here today to accept the seat of Potter House and Black House, and wear Lordship rings?"
"I do."
"And do you swear on your family's honour to uphold the laws, customs, and honour of this chamber, and work towards the betterment of magical kind in all its forms, both present and future?
"I do."
"Does anyone objects?"
At this Crabbe Sr. stood up, " I do. The Boy is not of age and neither Black blood."
Before Dumbledore could say anything Harry's drawling voice rang in the whole court room " I do not know how any PROPER Lord keeping a SATISFACTORY COMPANY or having even a shred of family magic or even a bit educated in inheritance laws not know that decisions made by family magic are irrefutable. Of course it could have been that he is under imperious to say all this like in he was in the last war. You never know with people susceptible to imperious, risky thing that."
The taunting smirk never left his lips. While silence rang in room Harry and Rishabh were thinking the same thing, 'Go on assholes, make my day.'
While many were looking at Harry as if he was insane, Harry was totally relaxed. It was with good reason. While wizengmot room and audience gallery were covered in kinetic magic suppression wards - the magic which flew from point a to point b - whose origins were lost to time, there was nothing about that could be done about static magic – like lumos.
And Shivangi was covering their six with a scoped and silenced STYER AUG, 5.56 hollow under Runic notice-me-not from gallery. That was without considering Fleur, Hermione and Dora in gallery who were all there with P-90s, 2 H&K Mark 23, and frags, each. Without considering Harry and Rishabh's own 2 silverBallers and 4 quarter Kg C-4 ball-bearing homemade hand-grenades (they do not roll).
Yes, at the gate they check your wand and any harmful potions, not mundane items.
Fun thing about Blood fued, which was the only way Crabbe could retaliate, was they are effective immediately and are hunting license between 2 families for other. So Harry and co can shoot Crabbe to human pin cushion in the middle of wizengmot in a feud and nobody could do anything.
While Lord Crabbe Sr. looked like he was about to burst a nerve, Malfoy's hand on his kept him from doing anything.
Dumbledore waited for a few moments for something to happen but he was disappointed, "Objection overruled. Lord Potter-Black, please take your seat and help us guide this nation towards a brighter future with your wisdom."
He then started the proceedings, "Since one of our old families has rejoined us, the first point of order is re-distribute the titles. Honorable Minister, if you would send the Under-secretary of records for the records?"
While Fudge might be an idiot he knew what he must do. As soon as the news of Umbridge's death broke out he appointed Jacob Salmey, one of her lackey, in her place.
The records were brought in and the demotions were made. First were the now Most Ancient and Noble House of Ogden.
There were many protest and denials from house of Nott when they demoted from the Ancient and Most Noble to Ancient and Noble and hence losing their hereditary seat in Wizengmot and their voice in the decision making for the time being. At the end of it House Jugson too lost its Noble Status despite of all crying and screaming.
At the end the dark lost its 2 votes, not much but still even they matter.
The people in grey faction knew that something was up as the only 2 positions from where the votes were to be lost went to Dark but, for the life of them, they could not figure out how.
At the end Dumbledore announced "With this the titles are redistributed. Does anyone of the Honorable Lords or Ladies have to add before we adjourn?"
Harry stood up and the whole crowd went silent, waiting for the new bomb he was going to drop. "Respected Lords and Ladies, I have 2 Blood signed contract here with me. One Signed between House of Black and House of Malfoy and other between House of Black and House of LeStrange."
Harry pause and everyone could see Malfoy losing what color he had and going stark white. "The House of LeStrange and the House of Malfoy have breached the term of contracts. I request this august body to be the witness and validate that the words have indeed been broken."
With that he passed the copies to the scribe for everyone to see.
After five minutes everyone knew both houses were in deep, deep trouble.
The Look on the face of Augusta and Amelia was like their next Christmas and birthday came early.
Augusta stood up to voice her opinion. "House of Longbottom, validates that the contracts have been breached and the words of it were not upheld by house of Malfoy and House of LeStrange. It also confirms that House of Black has now full authority to impart any punishment to both Houses."
It was a common clause to add the requirement of child among purebloods for continuation of line and with potions to help the childbirth (read conceive) it was almost overlooked everytime.
"House of Bones seconds the House of Longbottom." You could see her eyes twinkling in delight.
"House of Greengrass Seconds House of Longbottom", 'oh yes Malfoy was becoming too much of a nuisances as of late.'
After it almost every Light or Neutral with a good measure of dark seconded it, leaving Malfoy ghostly white in terror. All avenues of escape were closed.
"I extend my thanks to all of you. I, Harry James Potter-Black-Baghel, Lord of Most ancient and Most noble House of Potter, Most ancient and Most noble House of Black, heir to Most ancient and Most noble House of Baghel, For the crimes committed against House Black by House LeStrange I claim Lord and Lady of House LeStrange as Magical slave to house Black. Also I dissolve the marriage of Rodulphus Lestrange and Bellatrix LeStrange nee Black. For the crimes committed against house Black by House of Malfoy I dissolve the marriage of Lucuis Abraxas Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy nee Black and claim Lucius Malfoy as magical slave to house of Black..."
"Noooo.."
"…. So I state, So motto it be."
With a bright flash of light the punishment was sealed and carried out.
The Malfoy coat of arm on Malfoy's chest vanished and Black crest appeared on his back signifying his slave status to all. His Dark mark was removed as it was deemed by magic that it will interfere with his enslavement.
It was also the only method to remove the dark mark, Magical enslavement. The complete and utter domination of one's free-will with the consent of higher magics. At this moment Harry could tell Lucius to chop off his limb and Lucius will do so.
Many people were stunned to silence. Dumbledore quickly slammed his gravel and adjourned the meeting.
-Harry Potter and The Assassin Supreme -
At this moment Harry was in Madam Bones' office not the other way around, for once. With him was Dowager Longbottom. It was decided to give Lord Longbottom rest for this session of meetings. Lucius was sent to castle with everyone else.
"That was artfully done Harry. You gave Lucius no chance to recover. By the time his son is able to access the Malfoy fortune and Business it will be in a bad shape due to poor management." Amelia complimented while nursing a glass of whiskey.
Harry smirked, "Draco won't ever be able to access Malfoy Fortune."
"What? Why …" but Amelia was interrupted by Dowager Longbottom to whom it clicked just now.
"Kudos to you, Lord Potter-Black. That seriously was artfully done." She raised her glass to salute him.
Then it clicked to Amelia too. She raised her glass too. "Don't take it otherwise Harry but you are one cunning bastard. "
While many gaped at the sentence doled out to both houses only very few realized what actually these punishment caused. Even in these punishments you cannot annex or merge two houses, otherwise anyone will do so. The only way to annex a house is bloodfeud. That is why Harry simply did not annex both houses. The wizengmot would have overruled him.
The thing about these magical commands was that they are very similar to the computer languages. One clause at a time and first come first service.
His first command: I claim Lord and Lady of House LeStrange as Magical slave to house Black. Does exactly that; converts Rodulphus Lestrange and Bellatrix LeStrange to Rodulphus no-name and Bellatrix no-name, slaves to house Black. Rabstan LeStrange was now head of LeStrange house.
His second command: Also I dissolve the marriage of Rodulphus Lestrange and Bellatrix LeStrange nee Black. Just think what it does.
They both are already slaves to him. Why dissolve their marriage? What will he gain? Is Harry connected to them in any other way that might profit him? The LeStrange ancesstray is not linked to potter for quite a few generations and neither does Black. Maybe Baghel? No, they were extinct for 150 years. So what?
Exactly those were the line of thought of everyone else. He materially gained nothing from that line. In fact after the discovery of horcrux in their vault goblins fined them very, very heavily; about 80% of their vault.
It was a red hearing for his next command: I dissolve the marriage of Lucuis Abraxas Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy nee Black. This was done because it tricked their mind. While everyone was thinking about the repercussion of earlier command their mind registered a similar command, their cognitive reflection flared up making them think that if they cracked the earlier command the answer of this one will be very similar. Right? I mean they both were just annulling the marriage.
Wrong. Unlike Rodulphus Lestrange and Bellatrix LeStrange, Lucius and Narcissa had a child. The same child, who was now a bastard, hence was not able to inherit anything. Hence the Malfoy wealth was without Primary heir and no second heir was declared for it.
While Lucius had no siblings, his father had a sister, Cythina Lovegood nee Malfoy. Yes the Malfoy Fortune lied solely in the hand of Xenophilius Lovegood.
In all the above chaos no one noticed and protested for wiping out the family until it was too late.
His last command stripped Lucius of his Lordship and Malfoy status effectively sealing the fate of Malfoy Line.
Then Harry went for the kill, "Amelia, I will be straight forward with you. The Ministry is in default. It has 2 of my properties in their custody without paying me. We all know who we are talking about. The date of contract signed and when punishment will be dated from ( Five years after the marriage) will make it impossible for the ministry to hold them. I want both of them released."
Because after becoming slave, essentially becoming Harry's property, they had not committed any crime. It was a loop hole in the law but one no one wanted to exploit because to exploit it you would have to become a non-being, a property, equivalent to a cattle. They only way to become it was to become someone's magical slave, to lose every bit of your free-will.
Augusta was quite taken aback by it.
If anyone else Amelia would have thrown them out of her office but she had faith in Harry so she decided to ask him first, "What is your end game in this Harry? Why do you want to get two of the most dangerous Death-eaters out of prison."
"Remember your first meeting with me? When that snake faced megalomaniac returns I want Hogwarts protected. Everyone will agree that after Voldemort, Bellatrix was the most feared person in Death-eater camp. She might be evil but she is good. I want her to protect the student. She is now my magical slave and hence my words are the law for her."
"And her husband?" Augusta prodded.
"He will be my gift to you. Do as you wish. Torture him if it pleases you, kill him if you want and if you don't want him I am sure, Dementors will be very happy for a meal. And you know that you can call me, Harry, right Madam Longbottom?" He answered flippantly.
Amelia and Augusta both looked pensive. One thinking about the repercussion, second whether or not to accept the gift.
Amelia spoke up first, "I will issue the orders tomorrow. You can collect them anytime after 10 am, Harry."
Harry just nodded his head in gratitude and looked towards Augusta for her reply.
"Feed him to Dementors, Harry. Frank and Alice have just recovered. It will be better for them to not see any torture."
Harry again nodded his head this time in confirmation and understanding. "I will take my leave my leave now. I have an appointment to keep. Amelia. Madam Longbottom."
As he reached for the door knob to open the door Augusta asked, "Harry, How is it that both seats were lost from the faction of dark?"
Harry turned with an innocent smile on his face, "I have no I idea what you are talking about, Madam Longbottom. Good Day to both of you."
-FlashBack-
Harry, Hermione, Fleur and Dora were in The Room (RoR) going over Umbridge's dossier.
Fleur threw the file in her hand on the table in disgust. "This has got to be the most pathetic excuse of wards I had misfortune to come across. An anti-appration, anti-portkey, anti-theft and an intruder-alert ward, that's it. From what I understand it will be laughably easy to bypass them."
"I agree, they are most easy to work around. The main problem will be to make her death look as normal as possible. That means once we reach her house there will be little to no active magic from our side. We don't want to leave any magical residue for anyone to detect." Harry added to their perspective.
"So we rely on runes and in worst case potions." Hermione concluded, "Any behavior we can exploit Dora?"
"Loads." Dora replied dryly. "The women is corrupt as hell, is a bigot, short tempered, sadist, and an overall bitch. When alone, she drinks like a pirate and whenever she can get her hands on will do any potion to get high. There are loads of other things but I think that it will scar Fleur for life."
"And that is the undersecretary to the Minister of Magic." Hermione heaved a sigh then looked up at Harry, "You think?"
"Maybe…" Harry replied slowly.
2nd December, 7pm, Umbridge residence.
Dolores exited the floo of her dimly lit house and swiftly went towards the bar of her house. These Damn mudbloods and Half-breeds were driving her nuts and she was in dire need of a stiff drink.
As soon as she reached he bar, all the candles flared up with vengeance and bathed the room in bright light. In the other end of the room, sitting on her sofa set, were 3 hooded figures. Their black robes and gloves concealed everything down to any hint of their gender. Before she could reach for her wand she felt the sensation of cold steel pressing on her jugular causing her to freeze. She dare not even rotate her head to see her assailant. Her wand was snatched away from her.
The figure in the center spoke first, his voice utterly casual but heavily modulated and mechanical undertone, "Now, now, none of that Dolores. We are here just to have a chat my dear Dolores. Why don't you take a seat?" indicating the seat in front of her to the largest of 3 person sofa.
She felt the pressure on her neck by the blade increase indicating her to move.
After she sat down she was able to see her assailant another figure in same concealing robes. Assailant had replaced the blade with a crossbow. It was now that found her voice, "You will not leave this unscathed. I am the under-secretary of the minister of…"
Her voice was lost again when she found herself at the crosshair of the crossbow of what she mentally dubbed #4.
The #1 spoke again, "Why are you so angry, Dolores? Like I said earlier we are just here to talk. You see we want to make a mutually beneficial deal with you."
Then pulled out 3 folders and pushed one towards her "But before that have a look at this."
What she saw in them froze the blood flowing in her veins. The folder had record of her every bribe that she had ever taken. Date, time, how much was deposited, and in conjunction were the crime they were paid to cover or commit. She slowly looked up to #1, her face drained of all of her blood. She knew that if any of were reach D.M.L.E. or press, It would be a direct dementor kiss for her.
"Dolores, would you like a drink? You look like you could use one. After all there is one more folder to go." Without waiting for an answer he turned to the person on his right, "Springs, If you would be so kind as to pour us all a drink. I am sure our dear Dolores would not mind if you used some whiskey from her fine collection."
Within 2 minutes, Springs was back and the center table held 5 glasses of whiskey. #1 indicated her to pick up a glass.
"Come on Dolores, do you really think I would go through all of this trouble to kill you? Owl could have slit your throat open when you reached the bar. I am even letting you choose your glass. I would not have done so if one of them was poisoned now would I? Drink, so that we can move on to more important topic." He chided upon seeing her hesitation.
She picked up a glass and drained it in one go while other took a sip.
"What do you want?" She finally managed to ask
"You see Dolores, We have a few friends. Good, honest and beneficial businessmen friends. But for quite some time they are being harassed by a few of your ministry personals. We would very dearly appreciate if they were… taken care of." With this #1 put 3rd folder in front of her to pick up.
She looked inside and saw suspension and termination order of Robert Catermool, Regnauld Greyon department of Magical Creature and Francis Redwyne of department of magical Exports. They were based on the charges of corruption.
"I can only suspend them, only minister can….emhh…terminate someone." She said while clearing her suddenly dry throat.
"So sign the suspension order and get the Minister to sign the termination one." #1 replied simply.
She nodded and reached her handbag for her quill and signed the suspension order but as soon as she went to put the quill aside her hand started spasming. Her breath became incredibly labored.
"Aha so the effects have set in. Shadow, if you would please."
The person on his left stood up and took the quill and file away from her.
"You must be terribly confused Dolores. After all without you their suspension order are not even worth the parchment they are written on and why take your quill. Well let me confess it is not your quill but an exact replica of the one you use but with a few additions, namely compulsion to always use rightmost of the glass offered and to not invite anyone to your house 2nd December, tonight." #1 started.
Her fits and seizures were starting to get worse. Even slightest of movement were much labored.
"Ah starting to realize what has happened? Also don't worry about any of us getting caught. The poison was not actually a poison but a reaction caused by mixing whiskey, pepper up potion combination - which creates an abnormal drunkenness as the body is both drunk while very alert due to pepper up potion - and eternal ecstasy - a hallucinogenic potion. The Belladonna extract and Calabar bean extract in pepper up which are used to create a controlled adrenal rush, reacts badly with TurkmenistanBelladonna and Datura in the ecstasy potion cancelling out the ingredients that kept the toxins in check. Not an uncommon mistake among alcoholics I assure you. At this moment your body is flooded with at least 6 toxins. The other glasses are conjured before we came here and we will take them with us, also there are no footprints or such, so D.M.L.E will not find anything and think this as an accident. Also no I am not giving in an evil monologue, we are just waiting for you to die and make sure that you do not ingest any anti-dote. Good bye Ms. Umbridge."
After that she knew no more.
-End Flashback-
After Harry closed the door and went away Augusta commented, "That is one dangerous person."
Amelia actually snorted at that, "You are telling me. I know he was responsible for the removal but for the life of me I cannot figure out how.
