Chapter 26 – A Mangled Mess

Severus looked at the vial of bluish green potion in his hand as he walked up to the headmaster's office. It was the long awaited Revelos Familias creation that would finally reveal precisely who had attacked the youngest Weasley boy.

"Ah Severus," Dumbledore greeted him brightly as he walked in.

Severus wasn't fooled by the headmaster's genial appearance. The man was worried, and his eyes were the proof as they stared steadily at him, lacking in their customary twinkle.

"Do you have it?" Severus answered, ignoring the strange sight of the usually unflappable headmaster.

"Of course," Dumbledore answered smoothly, pulling the large sheet of parchment from a shelf behind him. He laid it out upon his now clean desk—another oddity—and set Merlin shaped paperweights down on each of the four corners.

"Now Severus, if you would," Dumbledore instructed with a wave of his hand to the parchment.

"You are sure you would rather me do this part?"

"The potion always reacts best to its maker, my boy," the man answered somberly.

"Hmph," was Severus' lackluster response.

Who better to blame the outcome of the test on than your ever faithful ex-Death Eater? Was Severus' unkind, but luckily unvoiced thought.

Carefully he removed the corked top of the vial, setting it in an inside pocket by itself. Next, he carefully tilted the vial and with the potion, he drew a circle at the top the page. From the circle, he drew the lines necessary to represent the very beginnings of a family tree. He did so in order to instruct the potion as to what kind of format it was to present itself in.

Severus straightened up from his precise design and instructed softly, "The trace evidence, if you would Albus."

Dumbledore stepped forwards with his own vial. His, unlike Severus', contained biological evidence from the night of the attack on Ronald Weasley. It had been preserved with a charm; one that ended as soon as the headmaster broke the seal at the top of the thin glass tube.

Severus tried not to breathe through his nose as the vial was upended in the space within the circle. He had no desire to breathe in the scent of the man who had raped one of his own students.

His task done, Dumbledore stepped away from the desk and closed the vial with a negligent flick of his fingers.

Severus took out his wand and pointed it at the strange design laid out before him, intoning the instructions in a deep voice, "Revelios familius." He did so without preamble, believing that the wait had already been long enough.

Severus and Albus peered towards the parchment and watched in interest as the lines converged together, swirling in a fine pattern of green and blue shades, before finally binding together in a display of dark purple.

Within the circle, there was now a name that read, "Ronald Bilius Weasley." Extending downwards was a generational line leading to two more names. On the right was the mother, Molly Weasley and on the left was the father.

There was a sharp gasp beside him as Dumbledore read the name listed there. For his part, Severus did not give any sign of outward amazement at the strange discovery listed before him, but he certainly felt it.

After all, he certainly had not expected to see "Rodney Weasley" listed in the spot where Arthur's name should have been.

In his peripheral, Severus heard more than saw Dumbledore collapse into one of the many squashy armchairs that were littered throughout the confines of his office. The silence between them was finally broken after Severus took a seat of his own.

"Well, at least Arthur is innocent," he finally said quietly to his employer.

A pause, and then, Albus finally answered in a near whisper, "Yes. Arthur is innocent."

. . .

Percy barely looked up when they dragged his brother into his cell. The other boy was barely conscious; his eyes dull and glazed as the aurors tossed him on the cot across from Percy's own.

He didn't say anything to greet his brother. He doubted that Ron would respond anyway, considering his state. Idly, he wondered what they had done to his younger sibling to cause such a harsh change in behavior.

The aurors left then, the iron door shutting with a CLANK that made him shudder despite himself. At least there were no Dementors in their Ministry cell.

Percy sunk down and put his face back in his hands, which is how he had been before his brother's not-so-surprising entrance.

For the next few hours, he dutifully ignored the cell's other occupant. He was used to tuning things out, especially unpleasant reality. However, eventually the silence of his brother got to him and he tentatively began trying to get Ron to respond to him.

After another hour of that, Percy unknowingly made the mistake that sealed his fate then and there. He crossed the cell and touched his brother's shoulder, with the intent of shaking him into some kind of awareness.

He never had a chance.

The sludge, which had been briefly absorbed into Ronald Weasley's body chose that moment to expel itself into the room, covering every surface with its deadly touch.

Down the hall, the aurors on duty suddenly snapped to attention as they heard the sharp shriek of terror rip its way through the stark stone hallway. By the time they made it to the Weasley brothers' cell, it was too late.

Both boys were dead and the sludge was nowhere to be found.

. . .

"Rodney Weasley!" The aurors yelled, pounding on the man's sturdy oak door.

No answer.

Kingsley gave the command and they were soon quickly past the wards and into the house.

It wasn't until they got to the main bedroom that they discovered the man whom they had been charged with arresting.

"Shacklebolt!" One of the younger men called out. "I think you'd better see this."

Kingsley walked gingerly into the bedroom, the other aurors parting before him to reveal a body laying face down beside a pool of vomit. He could tell the man was already dead, but he ran the scan anyway, just for the sake of the report he had to file.

He had seen plenty of dead bodies during his work as an auror, but he couldn't help noticing that Rodney Weasley's had a particularly miserable look to it.

"Pack him up," he instructed, turning towards the man who had called him in there.

"Um sir, that's not all," the younger man replied nervously, pointing uneasily at the bed.

Kingsley turned to look where he was pointing and raised an eyebrow at the oddity before him.

The bed, although made, seemed to be rumpled, but considering Rodney Weasley was a long time bachelor, that wasn't too much of a surprise. However, there were also burnt silhouettes on the top cover of what looked like an adult with two smaller child sized shapes surrounding it.

Later, they would discover that the darkened silhouettes were burnt all the way down into the mattress itself, and even more peculiar was the fact that they could not be removed, magical means or otherwise.

. . .

Weasley, Weasley, Who's Got a Weasley?

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave,

When first we practise to deceive!"Sir Walter Scott

After what was likely a very stressful time for him, Arthur Weasley has now been

released from Ministry custody. He was arrested earlier this week in suspicion

regarding the attack of his son Ronald Weasley.

This morning, thanks to the hardworking efforts of Albus Dumbledore and an

unnamed professor, the aurors received new evidence regarding the case, and

in turn were able to release Mr. Weasley to his family.

The details of this situation would have likely never been connected if not for

this reporter's unstinting dedication to uncovering the truth. After much digging,

it was discovered that Perly Weasley was not merely taken in for questioning;

rather, he was charged with the assault of a minor female! He is currently awaiting

trial in the holding cells of the Ministry, and is unavailable for further questioning.

As for the attack on Arthur Weasley's son, who is to say that is all that happened?

Disturbing reports are beginning to trickle out of Hogwarts regarding this boy's

behavior around the female portion of the student population there. Thus far,

this reporter has heard not one, but TWO thus far unsubstantiated allegations of

inappropriate behaviors regarding this boy. Likely the aurors will soon be

investigating those as well!

How far from the tree have these boy truly fallen? Who is to blame for the heinous

actions of these two youngest Weasley? I know you want to know.

Should we blame Arthur Weasley for the faults of his two youngest sons?

As it turns out, there is no reason to blame him at all. The recent evidence discovered

at Hogwarts has revealed a shocking truth: Arthur Weasley wasn't the father of

Perly or Romald Weasley at all!

Fingers are now being pointed towards one Rodney Weasley, Arthur's older brother.

Aurors have been dispatched to bring him into the Ministry, and this reporter hopes

that he is able to explain how things came to be such a mangled mess!
