As he was about to exit his room to go to the hall for breakfast, Bilby pop in the room with a letter in hand."Master, Bilby has found a letter for you in the bad wizard office."
Opening the letter emitted by the ministry, he saw that it was an actual convocation to the trial of the Potter and Dumbledore. His presence was required and should he did not, the pressed charges would be abandoned.
"So you want to play that way, good, I was about to leave you to go without much but now, this call to a firmer hand it seems."
Changing his attire to a more appropriate meeting with a legal end, he asks Bilby to braid is hair so that he wouldn"t be hindered by them. In a finger snap, his free-falling hairs were combed backward and a strand on each side of his ears divide in three and form in a tight thin braid. The two were linked behind his head to contain all the other. He trans.m.u.tes a silver leaf clip to hide the link and a thin leather band to tie the rest loosely mid-back.
wearing Acromantula silk light blue with forest green trim robe, he asks for Bilby to fetch his breakfast here. Once feed and watered he made his way to the hall. Since he was already 7:45 he needs to go down and inform Snape and McGonagall that he would be gone for at least the morning.
Being this late, most of the student was already down the hall taking their meal. Since the door was open wide, at first, no one saw him but the light tone of his robe caught rapidly the sight of everyone pa.s.s.
She was about to call on him when she first sees him, but as he continued to make his way to their table McGonagall put her table cutlery and wait for him to reach them. As his attire draws quite the attention, the hall has fallen silent, waiting for a new piece of drama. unfortunately, they would be disappointed that it wouldn"t happen to Hogwarts.
"Seeing your attire, One would think you don"t plan to a.s.sist in today"s cla.s.s M.Evans."
"Yes, I had received this letter for the ministry and need to be there for nine this morning. Since it at the same time that Potion master Snape cla.s.s, I have come to inform the professor that I would be unable to a.s.sist in his cla.s.s." See him as he looks at the man.
Now, Snape has two possible ways to go, either he will dock point and add a more than possible detention for this or he would leave it be. Was he a Slytherin, he would have been sure that the second you be but he was a Gryffindor.
Raising an eyebrow, he locks his gaze with the boy for a few seconds before speaking.
"Detention with me this Sat.u.r.day M.Evans."
"Very well." Nodding at this and a little surprised that he would escape with this light punishment, he made his way toward the door, before her voice resounds in the hall.
"I don"t give you the permission to quit Hogwarts M.Evans."
He stops at this but keeps his back to her.
"And I don"t need your authorization for this, "Deputy headmistress", only the headmaster as this power and would know better than try to intercede with a private matter, you could be sure on the other and that the board of governor will be informed of this. Should be the headmaster be removed for his office, you will be not the first candidate for it, you could be sure that I will make everything for this to happen."
Miffed by the fact she was just slapped in public, she couldn"t help but shout.
"Are you threatening me?!"
"No, I was just informing you to not pull a Dumbledore there, but seeing your poor reaction, I see that you will be in fact unfit for the office with this type of short temper. Being the head of Gryffindor, deputy headmistress, and transfiguration professor his too much responsibility for a single person. Because of this, you are already clearly unable to fulfill your role as head of House seeing your poor judgment of the Weasley boy nomination as prefect. Add you past a little more time among your "lion" you would have seen that the boy was unfit only seeking and pursuit power without caring for his charge. Your just like Dumbledore, to much power in a single individual will lead it to his ruin. If you don"t want to step down for your position, I advise you to actually do your job!"
With that, he exits the hall after still given them another show were he actually dresses down his own Head of House. The hall was dead silent as all looked at the red Scottish woman standing on her feet.
On the lion table, Hermione shakes her head, the last hope of a competent adult figure in this castle crashing faster that Fawkes in his burning day. Without even knowing, Alex had shattered the illusion of the little girl in only a week, making her finally take off her blinder. It was time for her to have a talk with him, as per her request, he had let her alone for her to think at his words, but now she finally see that he had been right from the start, she still appreciate that he didn"t try to influence her and immediately grant her wish, perhaps he was already knowing that she would return to him?
Shaking her head to clean it of those through, she finish her breakfast before taking with her Susan, she had quite a few questions to ask the girl and need a response!
As for Alex, the second he exits the hall and the castle he was popped out of Hogwarts by Bilby, directly in the apparition point of the Ministry atrium. Going to the posted Auror at the desk, he takes out his wand and the letter. With a rapid gaze of the letter, he gives back the wand and directs him toward the lift and ask for level ten.
As is was still early in the morning, he shares the lift with ministry employees going to their work. At 8:05 he was in front of courtroom ten who have already Aurors standing guard on each side. Seeing that Senior Auror Shackbolt was one of them, he approached him.
"Ah, M.Evans? Good, follow me." He was lead to a private room.
"Each implicated party needs to wait in a room like those. You will shut from the exterior until the trial start and we need you."
Once alone, he takes out a stack of paper and a sheet of leather and cardboard. Putting his hand on them, he trans.m.u.tes a blank book int.i.tuled "Runic Magic". Taking out a fountain pen, he starts his own rune syllabary in an alphabetical order with a dictionary at his side in order to don"t forget a word in between. This tome will compile a mundane and magical syllabary before he even starts to go in deep and start with the runic circle. Since he works with words and not letters, he will be a while before he starts an interesting thing be he need to start with the basic. So during a good forty minute, he transcribes words for words, runes for runes. He could have used a quill to do so but as he wasn"t private to the enchantment put in those rooms he will not risk his work to be heard, even protected by family magic, there isn"t think such as too much precaution.
I was dubious the fact that he starts it there but he would not wait near an hour to do anything. When he heard the door opening, he stores his wear and rise. following the Auror, he was guided to the room proper and to an empty seating area while the room was filling. He could see Rita and Luna"s father along with other journalists already present and waiting while the Lord and Departement Head takes place in their seat. When he sees James Potter was actually taking his seat he was starting to think that the man was a moron. The chief Warlock seat was taken by an old lady, older than Dumbles.
Fudge with his legendary lime green robe and bowler hat and his personal pink toad was here. This was an unknown variable for him, but he was thinking that with Dumbles removed as a treat for him he would be on his side. The fact that they would judge the BWL was another thing entirely. Even with this he had the law on his side and could and would seek retribution.
