Chapter 83 - Unrest In Magical Britain (I) & Unexpected Visi
n
n
nOne day passed since a beaten Albus Dumbledore the greatest wizard since Merlin (according to several witches and wizards), Defeater of the Dark Lord Grindlewald, the leader of light, Headmaster of Hogwarts, Chief Warlock of Wizengamot, Supreme Mugwump, and according to many undefeatable was hanged right in the middle of Diagon Alley out in the open.
nThis was huge impact to the whole wizard population, Cornelius Fudge has been running around like a headless chicken, he tried his best to put a lid on the news, he likes to do that but this time the news was too public to be suppressed. At first when Magneto appeared for the first time most people dismissed him as a crazy drunk bastard because he attacked the Weasleys and only took their pet rat.
nThe second incident was not known by many because Amelia Bones immediately put a lid of it or they would have been treated as a joke. Magneto broke into Department of Magical Law Enforcement like he owned the place and walked out of the place like he owned the place.
nThe third incident didn't get time to become public. Magneto broke into Azkaban and slaughtered many prisoners along with all the Death Eaters sentenced there and while leaving wrote his name on the Fortress of Azkaban.
nBut the fourth incident was the cherry on top of the cake. Magneto suddenly appeared right in the middle of Diagon Alley while dragging the Great Albus Dumbledore by his hair and beard and hanged him in a similar manner of crucifying and wrote his name right above the hanging Albus Dumbledore and declared that a new Dark Era has arrived.
nSo yes, it was a complete chaos in Magical Britain. No one knew what to do as there Minister was a complete moron and he was only good at sticking his head in the sand. Even his dear friend Lucius Malfoy didn't have any idea about controlling this mess. There were still somethings that he can't buy with money and the current situation was something like that.
nThe most scared magical people because of this incident wasn't the light side of the Magical Britain but the Grey and Dark side of Magical Britain. After all, the news about the massacre in Azkaban has also spread like a wildlife and Grey and Dark families were scared that Magneto would attack them next.
nAll of them hated Albus Dumbledore so shouldn't they be happy? But even if they hated the person they knew about his powers and this new guy called Magneto defeated the strongest wizard in whole Britain so none of them hoped to defeat Magneto. Only now they were taking it seriously about how easily Magneto ripped right through Weasleys wards so most of the families have to started to enforce their wards but they didn't know that if Magneto attacked then those pathetic wards won't mean much against Magneto.
nThe only good thing happened is that Magneto is already recognized as a new Dark Lord. Albus Dumbledore was hospitalized and he had put up a lid over the news of Harry Potter being kidnapped by Sirius Black. With him defeated the witches and wizards would place their hopes on Harry Potter to defeat Magneto after all Harry Potter defeated Dark Lord Voldemort when he was only 1 year old.
nSo, if Dumbledore allowed the news of Harry Potter's disappearance made public then Magical Britain would lose hope and would finally implode on its own with Magneto out in the loose. But what Dumbledore didn't know that for this exact reason Magneto beat him up and dragged him through Diagon Alley and hanged him. If it wasn't for that reason then Magneto would have beaten him up and left in middle of Privet 4 Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey.
nAmelia Bones was having a massive headache now, she wasn't able to return home to her neice since Magneto invaded Azkaban. Right after that incident, Magneto decided to bring Albus Dumbledore to Diagon Alley and hang him. She was currently cursing Magneto's seven generations. She could only wish to meet the guy now so she could hex him into next generation. What she didn't know that her wish was going to come true and not in a way she would like.
nAmelia Bones finally was able to get away from this **storm and used her office floo to return home. She entered her house and felt anti-apparation, anti-portkey along with several other wards go up. She felt her body turn cold, she knew who used these wards and this method to attack. She pulled out her wand and only wished that her neice would get out of this mess. She immediately rushed upstairs towards her neice's room but stopped when she heard her neice was laughing happily, she was confused what made her neice laugh like this at this moment.
nUntil she heard the voice she knew very well and the previous feeling of dread again returned to her. She slammed the door open and fired of several spells with all the speed she could muster but the same thing happened that happened previously. The person was protected by a wall of iron sand.
n
"Good morning Madame Bones... please forgive me for visiting unannounced. You see your neice saw me so I decided to play with her, I hope you don't mind
" Magneto said without turning around and continued to play with Amelia's neice. Amelia turned her head and saw several toys of iron were dancing and floating around her neice making her neice laugh. It has been really long she has ever seen her neice laugh like that.
nOne part of Amelia Bones wanted to scream at her neice to get away from that person and another wanted her to smile seeing her neice so happy. She was facing an internal struggle which Magneto noticed and decided to speak up.
n
"Susan, I have to talk with your aunt. So I have to cut short
" Magneto said while getting up from the floor. Hearing Magneto Susan obviously became sad.
n
"Will you visit again?
" Susan asked Magneto expectantly. Amelia Bones wanted to cut in the middle of the conversation but Magneto was faster.
n
"Yes, I will. Don't worry nothing could stop me from visiting you again and playing with you
" Magneto said and this made a tick mark appear on Amelia's head. Just after Magneto broke in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and told her that he wanted to visit her home, she has tightened and upgraded her wards and Magneto was still able to walk in like he owned the place.
nWith that over Magneto finally walked out of the room. Amelia had hold herself back from attacking him again but she knew one thing now that if Magneto wanted to harm her or Susan he could have done so easily, she also followed Magneto and finally reached the kitchen. She was surprised that Magneto came here, in her kitchen.
n
"So, what would you like? Tea? Coffee? Since I came unannounced let me get something
" Magneto said like it was a matter of fact and he was going to make Amelia's house his backyard.
n
"Firewhisky
" Amelia said and walked up to a cupboard and pulled out a glass and poured herself a drink and sat down.
n
"So what do you want? I don't think that a new Dark Lord would visit my home just for kicks and fun
" Amelia spoke and took a sip from her glass.
n
"Well... I wanted to tell you why I have been doing all this and maybe get you on board
" Magneto said and sat right in front of her. She was caught off guard and bewildered for a second there.
n
"I am sorry but I won't be joining a Dark Lord or his merry band
" Amelia said looking revolted even thinking about the idea of joining a Dark Lord. For a moment though she was worried that Magneto would use Susan as leverage against her.
n
"Good for now but I still want to tell you my reason and I assure you that you won't back away after that
" Magneto said calmy and leaned on the table. Amelia was very very interested but her rational part was stopping her.
n
"So, what I have to do promise or do to know those secrets?
" Amelia asked in a mocking manner.
n
"Nothing much, just a small oath that everything discussed between the two of us won't spread out to others using any method
" Magneto said.
n
"I can't do that... I don't even know that if you are going to tell me the truth or not
" Amelia said and gulped down the whole glass.
n
"Well... I would also be taking an oath that I will only speak the truth
" Magneto said, after all he wasn't worried about making an oath. He was obviously going to use Itsuki Reo as his name as now that name meant nothing in this world after the ritual in Gringotts.
nAmelia contemplated for a few seconds before pouring herself another glass. She started to think what she could gain and lose. If she doesn't make the oath she would miss this chance and if she made made the oath she had to do everything on her own to stop Magneto. Her job as the head of DMLE was stopping her to take the oath but on the other hand her curious side wanted her time take the oath. Until now, she wasn't able to make any head or tails about Magneto's objective.
nShe thought that even if she tried later, she might not get this chance ever. And even if she knew what Magneto wanted she was doubtful that she would be able to stop him because the moron of a minister was still busy sticking his head in sand.
n
"I Amelia Susan Bones, swear on my magic that whatever I learn from Magneto today would stay between the two of us present in this room, so mote it be
" Amelia Bones pulled out her wand and said. Magneto knew that Amelia kept a huge leeway in the oath but he wasn't losing anything, it would be a lot better for him if he gets Amelia Bones on his side after all, she was the head of DMLE. And she could search the whole world for the name Itsuki Reo but she won't be able to find any.
n
"I, Itsuki Reo, swear on my magic, that whatever I tell Amelia Susan Bones today will only be truth, so mote it be
" I said while pointing my wand upwards. I used a simple Lumos to show her that I told her my real name...
