Novel Bin Chapter 89 - Wizengamot (III)
The whole body of Wizengamot had finally gathered and were currently speculating among themselves about the high priority criminal the DMLE could have captured but none of them were able to find anything. Most of them thought that it could be Magneto because he was the newest Dark Lord even though he went to hiding for being scared. But some smart wizards and witches knew that it definitely wasn\'t Magneto since to capture him a much more bigger force was needed.
Finally everyone stopped discussing when the double doors opened and Amelia Bones entered the room flanked by two aurors on her both sides. "Thank you all for gathering for this trial on such a short notice but this is a matter of utmost urgency or I won\'t have called this meeting" Amelia Bones said to the whole body of Wzengamot. The old coots nodded their heads after hearing Amelia Bones.
"Madame Bones, you can bring in this high priority criminal, so we can finally get on with this trial" Cornelius Fudge said from his seat. Albus Dumbledore was also present there and had been waiting for someone to speak up because he also wanted this meeting to be over with... he was getting a really bad vibe.
"I, Chief Warlock, Albus Dumbledore ask Madame Bones to bring in the accsued and proceed with the trial" Albus Dumbledore banged the gavel on the table. Amelia Bones nodded her head and turned towards the auror on her left and said "Bring him in". The auror nodded his head and left the room and after a few seconds entered the room while dragging a shackled fat man. Many gasps were heard throughout the body of Wizengamot.
"Let me present Peter Pettigrew to the whole Wizengamot" Amelia Bones said and a pandemonium broke out. Several screams of outrage rang throughout the room. Albus Dumbledore\'s fears finally became true as suspected that Peter Pettigrew could be this high priority criminal.
"Preposterous!! How can you accuse a hero like that!! Let him go this instant!" Cornelius Fudge screamed in rage. His face was completely purple, Amelia Bones didn\'t do anything and just stood at the place. Finally the banging of gavel was heard throughout the room this made the witches and wizards to finally calm down.
"Amelia, I think that you must have made some mistake. It\'s really shocking that Peter Pettigrew is still alive but he is still a hero. He can\'t be treated like this..." Albus Dumbledore spoke to Amelia in his disappointed grandfatherly tone.
"I would appreciate if you use my title in official meetings" Amelia Bones said with a stern expression on her face but except that she didn\'t do anything. Amelia Bones was waiting for something and the next moment several screams were heard from outside and a nice smile graced Amelia\'s face but she didn\'t have the smile on her face for long and her face turned completely stoic... after all she was good in occlumency. The three aurors in the room including Amelia immediately pointed their wands towards the doors. After all she have to act on her part... no one in the room noticed the small smile that appeared on Amelia\'s face when the screams started.
The screams kept getting closer and closer until all of them felt an anti-apparation, anti-portkey and several other wards go up in the vicinity. Dumbledore had an idea who this person might be and he honestly wanted to be wrong, at least this time.
All of the members of the Wizengamot were now pointing their wands towards the gates. The doors finally slammed open and the newest Dark Lord Magneto walked in the Wizengamot.
"How can you start a meeting without inviting me? This is sooo unfair" Magneto said in a whining voice and the whole room descended into silence.
[POV Reo(Edgar)] (A Few Minutes Ago)
I apparated right outside the Ministry, I could have apparated into Amelia\'s office but if someone saw me coming out they could have linked our connection... heh, maybe not. After all magical people are at the pinnacle of stupidity.
I entered the shabby and broken telephone booth and dialed the magic number. Soon, the female voice was heard asking me my name and my reason to visit the Ministry. "Magneto, I wan\'t to attend the trial of Peter Pettigrew" I said and a silver badge with my name and reason appered. Heh... this is getting really boring though.
The lift descended into the 8th level, the Artium. Amelia told me that the meeting would take place in Courtroom 10 which was in level 10. But there was no lift... you have to take stairs if you want to reach level 10. The lift doors opened and for the first time I found guards in Atrium along with several other workers. Well, I was quite well known because of my display in Diagon Alley so the guards and aurors on the floor immediately attacked me with various kind of spells.
But all of them were swatted away into nothingness by my lightning armor. I walked down the halls like I owned the place and the rain of spells on me continued but I didn\'t bat an eye. Still no one here used any of the unforgivables. Hah... boring...
I finally arrived at the stairs and started walking down towards level 10, the guards and aurors kept following me but none of their spells harmed me so I let them be. I finally arrived in front of courtroom 10 and the gaurds were still following me. This was getting really annoying now, iron sand flew out of my body and I morphed them into chains and wrapped around the attackers and stunned all of them, finally making the place completely silent.
I slammed opened the doors of courtroom 10 and entered the place where the trial was being held. All of them were scared or horrified and I finally found Dumbledore looking around, I immediately used a passive leglimency probe and found out what he has been thinking and honestly... I found that amusing.
"How can you start a meeting without inviting me? This is sooo unfair" Magneto said in a whining voice and the whole room descended into silence. Hehe... I could see, Amelia\'s lips twitch slightly.
The first spell was shot by Amelia, and soon the rest followed. Good girl... she has to act on her part or this jig would be up before it even started. Some even resorted to Avada Kedavra but those spells were stopped by a wall of iron sand. I didn\'t check if unforgivables could be stopped by my lightning armor or not but honestly I don\'t want to risk it.
This continued for about 5 minutes, finally being annoyed I used my iron sand to make a chair and sat down but the spells didn\'t stop. After another 2 minutes the spells finally stopped, while everyone was busy with firing spells on me I have been sealing rest of the doors by morphing metals.
Everyone in the room except a few were heavily breathing they have dried up their magic reserves to fire all these spells. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. If only this much power gives them the right to boast about their blood superiority then maybe I should really become a Dark Lord and wipe out the purebloods.
"Ah... I see finally done. Anyone else want try their luck again?" I asked while dangling my leg over the handle of the chair. Another green spell came flying to me which was obviously stopped by my wall of iron sand. Both me and Amelia noticed the person\'s face and it was Gregory Goyle Snr. Is he really that much stupid? He actually used AK when everyone was looking and sat back down in the chair. I was completely speechless... yes maybe I should become a Dark Lord.
"Um...yes, thank you. Anyone else?" I asked but this time nobody made any move.
"What do you want Magneto?" Albus Dumbledore asked me looking down from his podium.
"Ah... well, you see I was getting bored so I decided to attend a trial... so I thought why not let\'s break into a trail and witness it" I said in a happy voice, my voice sent a shiver down the snipes of many people present here.
"There isn\'t going to be a trial, Madame Bones made a mistake Peter Pettigrew is a hero, after all" Albus Dumbledore said in his annoying grandfatherly tone and he had that damn twinkle in his eyes.
Amelia was about to butt in but I decided to to cut her off. "Madame Bones may I know what are the charges?" I asked Amelia. Amelia was about to answer me but someone else cut her off, I clearly saw two veins popped on Amelia\'s forehead. She must be really fuming now...
"We don\'t give into the demands of a terrorist! You are just a terrorist and must be a dirty blood or else you won\'t have ruined the Ministry\'s traditions" the voice sounded like a frog croaking. I turned my head to look at a person and saw the Dolores Umbitch in all her pinky frogness.
Now... what should I do with her? No one is gonna miss her... but if I kill her now future is fucked. Damn... I already fucked the future so why care now. I raised my hand towards Dolores Umbitch who was in her pinky frogness and used my powers on her blood.
Umbitch screamed in pain and her whole body exploded like a water balloon. Everyone near Umbitch was drenched in blood and gore, so people even puked out right where they were seeing the sight right in front of them.
"Anyone else?" I asked in a happy voice which sent down another chill on everyone\'s spine...
