Chapter 34- Sirius I visits Hogwarts and a war Council is called?

Sirius I was pacing in the common room of Severus’ apartment when they came down, he was waving a piece of parchment. “Received this, this morning. Thought you’d be interested. Was delivered to Andromeda though she was still abed. Can’t blame her. That Dumbledore is a pathetic individual harming one of my family after I explicitly warned him. I should kill him myself. The Ministry can’t harm me.”

Lucius yawned accepting the parchment, he skimmed it, “It’s an advisement of the Pettigrew trial before the Council of Magical Law.”

Remus grumbled, “Wish I could attend. I have responsibilities here.”

“My sentiments exactly.” Severus said scathingly, “I’ll like to see Pettigrew sentenced to be Kissed.”

“I’ll be attending on behalf of the Blacks and the Potters. I do hope that useless excuse for a great grand nephew sees fit to stay at my place of residence. I found out he fired his house elves and I took him to task for it, installing some of my own. That lout has no concept of cooking and cleaning, especially of a house that size. A dislike of such creatures is a poor reason to turn them off. Lucky for the Blacks, after their Masters and Mistresses died I did find myself Master over quite a army of them. I didn’t consider that they would revert to my authority. Their oaths of loyalty bind them to our House and thus to myself. Should have wondered why I had so many.”

Lucius said sharply, “I’ll attend on behalf of the Malfoys and the Princes, so even Remus’ interests will be represented.” Ha glanced at Sirius I, “Have you informed your namesake about the attack on his cousin?”

Sirius I shrugged, “No but I have stranded him at Black Manor where he has no way to leave. My mate and my army of house elves have strict orders to keep him within the Anti-Apparation wards. I shan’t be disobeyed. Tom Riddle’s presence there is limited to myself, Andromeda, Ted, my mate and the one house elf who tends to him. I have given orders that my namesake is not to be informed at all for fear of reprisals for his best mate’s murder of course.”

Remus was grim, “We’ll be discussing how we’ll be handling Dumbledore inhouse with the other professors in ten minutes. I’d like to give Tom a piece of my mind for even attempting to kill Harry much less killing Lily and James. However, I can understand what trauma he’s been through because of Dumbledore. Not that it completely excuses him crimes but I do feel sorry for him.”

Severus grumbled, “I too understand how being made infertile and losing any chance of having children can affect you. Unlike Tom, my mate still loves me and is looking for a way to heal what I’ve been forced to endure.”

“Mates.” Remus said sharply.

“Of course,” Severus amended, “mates.” He checked his timepiece, “We’d better hurry, thank Merlin you thought of the Room of Requirement to hold the meeting to keep from being followed or spied upon by the Headmaster.”

Remus smirked, “Sometimes being a Marauder has its advantages.”

“Indeed, you have a well-honed sense of sneaking and pranking.” Lucius said with a raised eyebrow before moving towards the floo.

The two professors took their leave leading the Defacto Head of the Houses of Black and Potter as well that the Head of the Lines of Malfoy and Prince to attend a meeting of the Council or Magical Law.

XoooooX

It was a very interesting mix that sat in the Slytherin Common Room, all twelve hearths all ablaze with a darker green flame that that of Floos.

This was a unique meeting, having been called for by the combined Court of Slytherin. This was a war council. The Defacto student leaders of other Houses had been invited in fact.

The King of Slytherin Adrian Pucey, its Queen Sophronia Prewett and Prince Draco Malfoy were here representing their House.

Prefect and Quidditch Captain Rodger Davies and fellow Sixth Year Girls Prefect Felicity Eastchurch represented Ravenclaw. Also present was Luna Lovegood but that was not addressed at present. It was see who had accepted the invitation to attend.

Prefect, Hogwarts Triwizard Champion and Quidditch Captain Cedric Diggory represented Hufflepuff. Accompanying him was Sixth Year Prefect Deborah Smith.

Sixth Year Girls Prefect Angelina Johnson and her boyfriend Fred Prewett-Weasley represented Gryffindor.

Draco glanced at Adrian and Sophronia to gain their permission before starting the ‘war council’. Receiving nods and shrugs he began, “My apologies for disturbing you so early in the morning. A meeting like this could not take place without all of you present.” He bowed slightly to the two seated opposite the dais that held himself, Adrian and Sophronia. “I apologize for the guises you had to wear to attend. We took a poll in Slytherin you see and the form you wear was unanimously declared the most beautiful. However I am sure it is nothing to compare with your own.”

The second Giselle Goyle tossed her hair, “It is adequate. It kept me from gaining Madam Maxime’s attention.”

Millicent was visibly incensed; her Giselle’s looks adequate?

“Peace Lady, one’s own face is preferable as we all know. May I present, Lady Fleur Delacour. Beauxbatons’ Triwizard Champion.”

Seat besides the second Giselle Goyle was what appeared to be a Weasley-Prewett twin.

“This is,” Draco continued boldly, “neither Fred nor George but George’s fiancé Viktor Krum. Who has attended this meeting at great personal risk due to his Headmaster’s refusal for any of their delegation to set foot on Hogwarts’ property.”

Viktor bowed his head, “I could not miss a meeting such as this. As an much as my Headmaster would not approve of this, I find that I agree whole heartedly with the message I received from Fred.”

Draco was great for the English comprehension and speaking spell he’d cast- with permission of course of on both Viktor and Fleur. He continued, “I do require for the protection of all concerned that those present take an oath of secrecy. If you find you do not wish to be involved you merely have to abide by your oath and speak to no one.”

There was no objection from Viktor, Fleur, Fred or Angelina; however Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw with the exception of Luna broke out into protest.

Luna lost her temper, her magic leaping out to shut them up, “Silence!” her glamour falling away and revealing her true self. With the flowing long hair and silver eyes of the Malfoys. She wore a white silk Grecian style robe, favoured by the Veela Queen’s Court and golden sandals. On her right shoulder barely visible was the birthmark of the House of Ravenclaw: a feather. Upon her left hand was the Malfoy birthmark and it resembled a flame.

The two voices of Ravenclaw were floored and no more words attempted to fall from their lips.

Luna drew herself up to her full height, which wasn’t much but her airy manner was gone and replaced with an air of authority and competence. “It seems that the time has come for me to reveal myself to my House. My name is Luna Lovegood.” She reached back to reveal the Ravenclaw birthmark, “I am the descendant of Rowena and I declare Ravenclaw House sides with Slytherin. I was not Sorted into Slytherin, but,” she held up her left hand to show it to the whole of Slytherin House, “were I, I would take my place as a Princess of this House.” She released her hold on her Prefects, “I hope you have the honour to vote with me.”

Prefect Felicity Eastchurch said nothing, since she was still in shock.

Rodger however glared at her, “Ravenclaw’s descendant or no, I do not see why you have the right to speak for us before we hear why we were summoned.”

Luna spun to face him, moving closer, her Veela powers no longer restrained, “Do I need to use my allure to make you obey me? I would hate to do so but if you leave me no choice.”

Draco sighed, “Luna!” he said with a warning tone.

Luna glared at him, “I don’t tell you how to handle the Politics of Slytherin House, so don’t you tell me how to run my own House. I’ve had enough of their walking all over me. For once, Ravenclaw will side with our Slytherin Compatriots as our Founders once stood together to establish this school.” She stood up, “I Luna, Daughter of Ravenclaw do declare myself in allegiance with Adrian Pucey, Son of Slytherin.”

As the words left her lips, and she held her hand out to Adrian magic from the castle flowed into her.

Adrian felt more confident then he ever had as words fell from his lips, “I Adrian, Son of Slytherin do accept the Allegiance of the Daughter of Ravenclaw and her House.”

Likewise with his words magic from the castle flowed into him.

Neville was drawn forward, “I Neville Longbottom, Son of Gryffindor declare my House in allegiance with the Houses of Slytherin and Ravenclaw.”

A burst of Magic flowed into him, filling him likewise with confidence and magic radiated from him.

Luna’ magic glowed blue with hints of bronze- reminding one of air, Adrian was a greenish blue with some silver- indicative of its association with water, while Neville’s magic shimmered with red and gold like flames.

Deborah Smith, Hufflepuff prefect was magically drawn to the three. Her hand reacting out to clasp Neville's, “I, Deborah, Daughter of Hufflepuff, declare myself and my House in allegiance with the descendants of my ancestress’ fellow founders.” Magic from the castle joined her own and she glowed with yellow light, the colour of sand and parched earth.

The castle sang.

Draco coughed, “That was unexpected, however the Four Houses in agreement makes this easier.”

The magic of the castle continued to vibrate in tune with the four descendants, who were loathed to part.

“You four have declared an alliance. This is technically a council of war. The students are contemplating rising up in protest of the Headmaster. The Headmaster has betrayed the students and I hold we owe him no allegiance or respect.”

“I Fred Prewett-Weasley wish to speak.”

Draco bowed, “the Council acknowledges Prewett-Weasley of Gryffindor House.”

Fred bowed, “My family has been greatly wronged by the Headmaster. He has separated my fathers, nearly killing them both. Kidnapped my four brothers and myself. Mentally assaulted my brother Percy, subjecting him to a forced abortion, the Imperious Curse as well as memory modification. He also insulted y brother Percy and his fiancé’s honour by accusing our Oliver of heinous things.” He bowed again. “This is all I may speak on. I ask that Viktor Krum speak on behalf of my twin and his School.”

Draco glanced at Sophronia and Adrian- who had finally returned to his seat, who gave no objection. “The Council acknowledges Viktor Krum of Durmstrang.”

“This Dumbledore has insulted the honour of myself, my mate and our school. My Headmaster has sworn without an apology from the Headmaster we shall not set foot on Hogwarts’ property. I have eschewed that by attending this council. I want that man gone before he can harm my mate as he has others.” Viktor said sharply and furious, his Chuvash temper radiating his anger.

Harry stormed to his feet, “I would like to speak.”

Draco nodded, “The Council recognizes Harry Potter of Gryffindor and consort of the Prince of Slytherin.”

Harry crossed his arms; “I charge that the Headmaster cast the Nights of Hell Curse on my bed. Did willingly put me in danger on multiple occasions. Rewarded me for breaking the rules. He hired a pathetic excuse for a Healer who didn’t notice I suffered from severe physical abuse and starvation at the hands of my Muggle relatives. I was sent back for four summers to spend time with those who beat and starve me despite my begging. I was nearly killed at least twice here at this school. Hogwarts is supposed to be the safest place in the British Magical world. Yet I’ve been almost thrown off my broom when it was jinxed with a Dark curse, I was nearly nearly strangled, was almost killed by a rogue Bludger, almost died from Basilisk venom and this year was entered in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament without my own consent nor that of a guardian since I am not unlike Cedric, Fleur or Viktor of age.” He swallowed, his burst of courage deserting him, “That’s…all…”

“He also allowed your guardian to be unlawfully imprisoned for over twelve years. He also Dementors to decamp upon this institution placing all of us in danger. He also committed some great atrocity against my papa, our Head of House as well as against the former Dark Lord- of which I have no details.” Draco said continuing.

Luna was still standing, “I would like to speak on behalf of the House of Black.”

Harry and Sophronia looked shocked.

Draco blinked and then composed himself, “The Council acknowledges the Daughter of Ravenclaw.”

Luna bowed, well curtsied actually, “Last night, Auror Tonks formerly of Hufflepuff House and honorary Queen of Slytherin was attacked last night by the Headmaster.”

Deborah and Cedric paled, they had been Housemates with Nymphadora who chose to go by Tonks. Cedric unlike Deborah had flown with Tonks for a bit.

Cedric swallowed, “What happened to Tonks?”

Luna nervously twisted the silk of her outfit with her fingers before answering, “She was undercover, investigating the Headmaster. He laid a trap for her and she flew right into it. She was paralysed and trapped in her animagus form. She was dreadfully injured and is currently with her parents in hiding. She is expected to recover.”

Cedric conferred with his fellow prefect and then stood, “Not only to do we ally ourselves with our fellow Houses, we would like to understand why we have been summoned.”

Draco smirked, “The Hogwarts Governors are holding an emergency School Board meeting to discuss Dumbledore. I would like to send my father with letter on behalf of the Students requesting a new Headmaster.”

“Who is being considered?” Rodger asked.

Draco raised an eyebrow, “Surely, you know there is only one serious contenter for the Office of Headmaster.”

Rodger’s eyes narrowed, “Not Snape.”

“It’s Prince-Malfoy and no, he is being recommended as Deputy Headmaster as far as I can guess.”

“Why do you have to guess?” Cedric asked. “Isn’t your father one the Board of Governors?”

Draco laughed, “Yes he is, however I am not privy to all my father knows.”

“Isn’t Professor McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress?” Angelina asked.

Draco nodded, “Yes, however due to her ex-Bondmate being at St. Mungos she’s been dealing with him and is expected to resign.” He glanced at each and every face, “Well, resign as Head of Gryffindor and Deputy Headmistress I expect. I’m not sure if she will resign altogether.”

“If she resigns who will take over as Head of Gryffindor?” Felicity asked.

“No doubt, Professor Lupin who has taught here before and unlike ‘professor’ Hagrid is actually certified in his field and has real teaching experience.” Draco said politely. “Other than Hagrid and Lupin, I know no other professor with an affiliation with Gryffindor. Professor Burbage, Babbling and Sprout are Hufflepuffs, while Vector, Sinistra, Flitwick and Trelawney are of Ravenclaw.”

The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs agreed with the House affiliations of the professors.

“Not only do we wish to sent a declaration of no confidence in Headmaster Dumbledore.” Sophronia said standing, a twinkle of mischief in her eye, “Slytherin and Gryffindor would like to offer Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff the opportunity to enter into a contest.”

Cedric looked wary, “A contest? What sort of contest?”

Sophronia smirked, “A Prank War. However, Gryffindor has the advantage of having Fred Prewett-Weasley so if you would,”

Rodger stood up quickly, “We’re not about to lose to a Gryffindor.”

Cedric was worried, “Would this be against school rules?”

Luna shook her head, “Absolutely not, it used to be a contest in late fall and winter to take away the boredom of being trapped in the castle all day when there were great snowstorms. A Prank War can only be declared when all four Houses are in agreement. The Heads of the Four Houses as well as the Prefects loosely oversees it. There are only two rules, No student must be in danger at any time and no permanent damage maybe done to Hogwarts itself.”

Viktor looked intrigued, “Does my invitation to this ‘war council’ allow me and mine to participate?”

Draco smirked, “An 'unauthorized' Prank War solely to prove to the Hogwarts Governors that Dumbledore has not control over his school? Of course we would welcome our Durmstrang and Beauxbatons’ guests to participate. With the superior education you receive at your excellent educational institutions you can no doubt come up with some intriguing ideas.”

“Pranks? What is this?” Fleur asked almost distastefully.

Draco proceeded to explain to her in excellent French.

Fleur’s features-which were still that of Giselle Goyle, became thoughtful and then she smirked. “I think we can prove our worth. ‘Pranks’ as you call them may not be something we indulge in often at Beauxbatons but I am sure we can come up with a few that will put yours to shame.”

Viktor grinned, “Between myself and my mates we’ll come up with some. We do have a greater knowledge comparatively to Hogwarts due to the wider education we receive.”

Rodger glared, “No fair, Durmstrang gets a Weasley.”

Luna chuckled, “Don’t forget, I’m half Malfoy. I have the intelligence of a Ravenclaw and the cunning of a Slytherin. We’ll hold our own if I have to master mind the whole scheme myself.”

Fred held out a hand to Viktor, “The loss of my twin will be a blow but I’ve still got Lee.”

Angelina laughed, “I think it’s about time you taught me how to prank someone.”

Fred pulled out three bags from his pocket, “If Sophronia and Greg will assist me, I’m sure I can sell a few pranks.”

Draco laughed, “I’d recommend buying the Skiving Snackboxes. A few dozen or hundred student coming down with a multitude of unexplained symptoms of illness would also make that imbecile Pomfrey look incompetent.”

Viktor dumped a large bag of gold into Fred’s hand, “I’ll take a whole bag.”

Fred grinned, handing him the bag, “Pleasure doing business with you.”

Harry thought of something, he dragged Vince and Blaise away.

Blaise was curious, “What do you want Potter?”

Harry smirked, “How easy would it be for you to transfigure something into lemon drops.”

“Depends on what a ‘lemon drop’ is.” Blaise shrugged.

Vince sighed, “Why do you need me?”

Harry chuckled, “I’d like to buy your Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans. Blaise has the superior Chuvash nose. He can pick out all the ‘nasty’ ones like blood and boogers. I only want those, so I’ll be giving the good ones back.” He summoned Dobby.

“Yes Master Harry Potter sir?” the bubbly elf asked bowing, “How can Dobby help?

Harry grinned, “I need one of Dumbledore’s lemon drops. I would like to know how the house elf magic for filling empty dishes with full ones works.”

Dobby’s brow wrinkled and his eyes narrowed, “Why Master Harry Potter want to know house elf magic?”

Harry laughed, “I don’t want to learn it. I just want to know if we make a duplicate of Dumbledore’s candy dish and fill it with nasty tasting candy transfigured to look like lemon drops if house elf magic can keep refilling the candy dish.”

Dobby’s face brightened, “Yes Master Harry Potter sir. I can do that. I can make a candy dish just like Headmaster’s. Will refill all the time with fresh candy if Master Harry Potter wants.”

Harry smirked, “Than go get me a lemon drop please Dobby.”

The house elf disappeared with a pop.

Vince usually threw out the nasty tasting beans anyway to selling them to Harry for a prank was no bother.

Blaise was curious what a ‘lemon drop’ was so he could see how to transfigure a bean to a drop.

Harry made a note to buy Greg’s nasty tasting Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans.

Soon Fred was sold out, Slytherins had already stocked up due to Greg and Sophronia’s sales in House. Primarily besides Viktor who already had an appreciation for their Wheezes, his other sales were to Luna on behalf of Ravenclaw and Diggory.

Fleur had no idea what pranks things Fred was selling and soon let herself out.

Rodger asked, “When does the Pranks War start?”

Draco smirked, “Why after breakfast.”

At that the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs left.

Fred smirked, “Well that was the fastest I’ve ever sold my product. Too bad George couldn’t have seen it.”

“Oh he will,” Viktor said shrinking his bag of Wheezes, “I own a pensieve. I better hurry before my absence is discovered. I’ll get George to show us how to use them.”

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
