บท 83: Wizengamot (II)... {EDITED}

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

I didn't stay in Amelia's office any longer, Amelia also got busy writing the letters for the emergency Wizengamot summons. Well, she wasn't the one who was going to write the letters herself but she still needed to give the commands to self-writing quills and arrange the letters to be sent.

I left the Ministry but this time I didn't need to sneak out because Amelia added me in her office wards so that I could Apparate in and out. She thought that this would be much better since I had a knack to ignore wards and break into places. But I didn't Apparate back to Castle Ravenclaw, it's for basically two reasons.

One, I can't let Amelia track me, no matter how much I trust her but I still think that it would be too soon for us to surface. I know I was ready at the beginning to reveal our inheritance if Nemuri needed it but we have come too far now. Nemuri is in her 5th yr and I can't let her hard work go down the drain.

Second, I needed to get a gift for Momo. Well... Momo likes books and because of the library in Castle Ravenclaw she didn't lack any, so my only option was jewelry. Maybe I should get her earrings, I could take a ring but I want to propose to Momo, Nemuri, and Rumi together.

So, I appeared in a dark alley of muggle London and morphed my armor into muggle clothes made up of metal threads. They are uncomfortable but for now, I am only wearing that. I can't just walk into a jewelry store completely starkers.

I finally found a nice store and brought a pair of gold earrings and left the store. I entered another dark alley and immediately Apparated to Castle Ravenclaw. I just appeared in my room and found Momo sitting on the bed and she was glaring at me.

"*cough* um. Sorry, I should have told you before leaving. But it was something I needed to get done as quickly I could" I told Momo but her glare didn't falter.

"But you could have just asked a house-elf to inform me" Momo said and pouted angrily. Well, I knew that she wasn't actually angry with me... she was just annoyed.

"Well... I had to get something done but I still forget about you" I spoke and leaned on the bed near her and pulled out the small box and placed it in front of Momo. Momo immediately stopped pouting and her face became filled with curiosity. She slowly picked up the box and opened it, her eyes immediately started to shine.

"These are beautiful..." Momo whispered and took out the earrings. Well, the earrings weren't much and Momo didn't have much appreciation for expensive things as she had grown up with a rich family. She actually likes the gesture that someone has given her something.

She immediately put on her earrings and a mirror appeared in her hand. "You look really beautiful" I told Momo... this seemed to make her happier. She was in her child form so I refrained myself from kissing her. It's fine when both of us are in our child form or adult form but I find it awkward if I am in adult form and she isn't or vice versa.

"Momo... I still have to do something so you can go to sleep if you want" I said to Momo, she didn't seem to like that.

"But I still haven't eaten... I will wait for you to come back" Momo said with determination in her eyes. Of course, she didn't like me asking her to go to sleep after all she didn't have dinner, and everyone who knows Momo knows that how much she loves food.

"Fine... fine... but I don't know how much time it will take so don't wait for me it if takes too long" I said and kissed her forehead. Momo just nodded her head and I walked out of the room.

Finally arriving in the dungeons, I looked at the cell the coward Rat was in. I opened the cell and was immediately attacked by Pettigrew. I was kind of expecting something like that so his attack didn't even phase me and I just knocked him out with a stunning spell. I looked at the pathetic man who was lying by my feet and kicked him in disgust. Damn... like I have guessed the bastard was carrying Moldyshort's wand with him so I stored it in a place where it could never be found again. A wizard without his best wand is somewhat crippled.

I grabbed Pettigrew by his robes and Apparated out of the castle and arrived in a forest. I didn't want to directly Apparate into Amelia's office. I waited for a few seconds and again Apparated but this time it was inside Amelia's office.

"That's Peter Pettigrew for sure" Amelia said while looking at the fat bastard I was dragging.

"So... you were doubting me?" I asked Amelia in a teasing manner.

"No! It's not that damnit! Seeing yourself and hearing from someone else is different. You should be going now after all I can't explain why the new budding Dark Lord Magneto is in my office" Amelia said and got up from her seat.

"How are the summons going?" I asked Amelia.

"They are already on the way" Amelia answered, there must be some kind of magic involved or else there should be no way that she was able to get that done so quickly.

"The trial will begin from 10... be there on time or else all of this would be for nothing and Sirius Black would still remain a wanted criminal" Amelia said in her serious voice.

"Hah... you are not even married and you are still worried like this... haha young love... oops old love" I said in a teasing manner and by each second I kept speaking I could see the veins popping on Amelia's head but before she could blow out I Apparated out. It's too much fun to rile up Amelia.

[Hogwarts (Headmaster's Office)]

Albus Too Many Names Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk while patting his familiar Fawkes with his one hand while he was holding his new wand tightly in his other hand.

Well, it wasn't exactly a new wand but Albus Dumbledore's old wand which he stopped using after getting the Death Stick. It has been two years since he has lost the Death Stick and he couldn't even tell anyone. He couldn't even tell the magical people that Harry Potter their savior was kidnapped by Sirius Black or the whole Magical Britain would collapse.

Even though 2 years have passed and all magical people have moved forward because Magneto didn't make another appearance but Albus Dumbledore knew that the horror Magneto could bring especially now can't be ignored. Magneto had appeared out of the blue and dashed all of his well-laid plans into dust. Magneto arrived and took Harry Potter from under his control and handed him to Sirius Black and now he was sure that without modifying Harry's memories he would never make Harry trust him but memory charms could only work up to a certain level and trust comes from the heart.

Albus Dumbledore was sure that by now Harry hated him because of Sirius's influence and if he can't get Harry under his control then he can't make Harry a martyr. Now, the only option was Imperius Curse but that was also too risky because long-time usage could reveal that Harry was under someone's Imperius Curse and Harry's mind could be strong enough to completely throw off the curse, even though there was a small chance of that happening.

Albus Dumbledore still had to make new plans because all of the plans he had made until now are completely useless. He still had Magneto to be worried about, this person now has the Death Stick meaning Albus Dumbledore has grown weaker by many levels since he didn't have the Elder Wand boosting his magic now.

And then the last matter... Peter Pettigrew. Albus Dumbledore knows that Magneto has Peter Pettigrew with him. It would have been so much easier if Magneto had handed over Pettigrew to DMLE. He could have used his power as Chief Warlock to nullify the trail so that Pettigrew could go free. Albus Dumbledore was also sure that Magneto didn't kill Pettigrew because getting the truth out of Peter Pettigrew could get Sirius proven innocent and he could no longer get his hands on Harry Potter.

Dumbledore was brought out of his thoughts when an owl arrived by his window. Dumbledore took a lemon drop from his bowl and started sucking it while he walked up to the parch the owl has been sitting on.

Dumbledore took the letter from the owl's leg and saw the letter had DMLE's mark on it. He quickly opened the letter and read through it.

"An emergency trial for high priority criminal? Who could it be? Did they catch Magneto? It could have been but I am not sure..." Dumbledore said to himself and returned to his chair. With the letter given the owl was already gone.

But there was something that felt too weird about this. At least Albus Dumbledore felt that it was weird and if he thought that it was weird then it was. He had faced off against Magneto and he had seen how odd Magneto's magic is. Dumbledore has searched for the magic Magneto has been using but found nothing... that irked him to no ends. His exact thoughts were 'How can I, the Great Albus Dumbledore don't know a magic like that and a small-time Dark Lord knows?'.

So, he was sure that they couldn't have captured Magneto this quietly and if there were casualties then Cornelius Fudge would already be here. So... who could be this high-priority criminal for whom we are going to have the emergency trial???
