The last two days of our break were a bit strained after our talks of me having people assassinated, but fortunately a night of doing pretty much everything but that last step helped get it out of our systems and everything rolling properly. Just a little fun to have our gears in sync again and have her understand that nothing has changed. I just remove the worst human beings in the country.
We also decided to wait before releasing any information about the holy water, if we ever do it at all. The stuff is just too valuable and can almost be considered to be in the same realm as the philosopher's stone. It would be far too dangerous for us and those we care about.
On another note, Victoria and I have started scheming against our respective targets using my prolific network and forces.
Gotta support my girl in her endeavors.
Her target was obviously her father. And after her decision to bring the man to his knees, she began to plot how to do so.
Her initial idea was to ruin the house itself and make everything the man seems to care about crumble in front of his eyes, but I persuaded her otherwise. My suggestion regarding this was to take everything and use it to go against everything he believes in. Blood supremacy? Help muggle-born witches and wizards get proper tools for their education. Sadistic bastard? Donate and organize events for the support of St. Mungo's. Death Eater? Support the rights of half-beings, muggles, muggle-borns, magical beings and even Dumbledore or Harry Potter. Dark Arts practitioner? Cleanse all of the family's prided dark objects and antiques. Sexist pig? Take control of the entire house from him. Just undo everything.
She really liked the idea and started to contact my people in FIRM, the Ministry and the Herald in order to get the information and evidence she would need for this. I even sent a few letters to some of my allied families in the Wizengamot to support the rise of a new Lord Travers who would be on our side. This resulting in her quickly starting to build up evidence, her case for inheritance, forming allies and amassing support.
I on the other hand, began to plot the death of one of the most hateful characters inhabiting this magical world: Fenrir Greyback. Unfortunately for Geri, her father his utter scum. He takes joy in slaughter and cannibalism, whilst infecting young children and basically brainwashing them into hating the world. During the canon he led werewolves as part of Voldycunt's enforcers and snatchers, spreading his reign of fear on Britain. But it was time to remove that stain from the surface of the earth once and for all.
The first steps for my plans involved the werewolf town under my care and the leaking of news about the vaccine.
This would be done in a completely controlled manner, involving Geri's people in the town 'accidentally' mentioning the creation of a suppressant being tested in the medical center to tag spies we would let infiltrate the place. This is after we get one of our spies near Greyback start a rumor about it of course, making him try to figure this out. It'll enrage the dog when he sees so many werewolves not living like wild animals and having normal lives. The sight should make him be very agitated and lead him to make rash decisions.
The next steps would simply be to turn the area near the medical center into a kill box for anyone he brings and ending all those who come. Simple really, but I will be there for this operation and so will Scott. I want to make sure to uphold a promise I made and my ever trustworthy aide wishes to support the women he cares for during this event.
The plan will occur between the second and third task, with me having a plethora of means to sneak out of the castle, but I will see if my friends will want to participate in this. I have hidden much from them already and this could be a very good opportunity for them to get experience. Minimized risks, actual opponents, low chances of death curses being used from anyone other than Fenrir, and my vaccine can neutralize the virus responsible for turning another into a werewolf before it can take infect a person, if injected beforehand, making the operation relatively safe.
Victoria ended up being quite excited about it, feeling that I had enough trust to bring them to a battle and was already thinking about what kind of spells to use during the operation. I sent private messages to both Christian and James, getting replies within a few minutes. The former was fired up to take down one of the worst people in Europe, boasting that his training would finally pay off. And the latter agreed as well, even if he was a bit more apprehensive than my other friends, but decided to make equipment to protect himself, Tory and Christian for his own prep work. I didn't need anything with my gauntlets crafted by the Goblin King, my basilisk/dragon hide coat, personally enchanted weapons and accessories, and my overwhelming personal abilities.
Geri was undoubtedly the most serious about the operation. She started preparing her men immediately, even going so far as not accepting contracts for a while in order to do so. She was also the one in charge of coordinating the town and making sure no information was leaked. And Scott was doing everything he could to help her during this time. It doesn't matter if he was a monster, a child killing her father is going to affect her even if she doesn't want it to, and the guy wants to be at her side for it.
I was also coordinating with Elaine and some people from the Auror department in order to have them come after we were done with dealing with everything. Only using the elites from Fortress and the trained werewolves under my command.
I decided to wait before deciding wether or not to tell Remus about everything happening for a few reasons anyone who watched the movies could guess. I didn't want him to tell Dumbledore for one thing. The Headmaster would simply not agree with putting the animal down, even after everything he's done. Remus is too much of a pacifist in general, even if his skills and intellect are top notch, he wouldn't be able to fight properly with my men. He was in an order which basically brainwashed every member into never killing their opponents and I don't want that stupidity on my battlefield. And even if the man was turned by Greyback, I don't believe he desires revenge since he is far too accepting of everything. Plus I don't want my relationship with the man to break down when he is doing a great job running the school in town.
With all the scheming happening between Victoria and I, I couldn't help but chuckle at the fact that we were both planing to totally screw with some bastards while helping each other figure out how we would do it.
Never would have thought that plotting people's destructions would be a couple activity. But when you're dating a Slytherin what can you expect?
Let's not do it too often though, don't really want to end up as some kind of magic mafia family.
The fact that we had to return to Hogwarts tomorrow did help me out in that goal, as we stopped plotting for the evening to prepare. And this time we would head back using the train, not having to go through the hassle of apparating in Hogsmeade then either walking or arranging a carriage.
The following day came quickly, making the entire house break out into the familiar rush to catch a train, even if we always leave very early and get on an hour ahead of departure.
It's mostly because mother has to head to work, but at least we get a smooth and comfortable ride there in Ministry cars.
That reminds me of the fact that I got my muggle drivers license done, and I also took the time to make sure I have everything properly registered on that side as well. Meaning passports, medical card, credit cards, insurance and all that annoying muggle crap. Doing this stuff is surprisingly useful when you want to hid a few things from the magical side of things. They just never think about a wizard hiding things in the mundane.
I might have confunded those in charge of my processing and bribed a few others so that me being 17 wouldn't do anything. The end result is me appearing to be 18 in the muggle world so no big deal. Plus I have millions in muggle banks still, so no worries about me not being able to live as a teenager.
I'm excited to play around with some of the cars Scott has been purchasing, collecting and maintaining after I got my license. They've got kick.
Scott just got a 1992 Jaguar XJ220 and a 1990 Lamborghini Diablo added to the collection. Pretty sure I'm taking Tory out in one of those this summer. Maybe both. Both sounds good. It'll be a nice way to just relax and go around the country.
Might even go abroad for a few weeks before things really hit the fan. Gotta get anything I can get since I'm basically going to be engaging in a shadow war for a year as I try to prepare Britain and screw over Voldy.
I break away from all my thoughts as we arrive at Kings Cross, unload our minimal luggage since both Victoria and Susan have the best enchanted trunks. One is my now official fiancé and the other is my little sister, and I've got more money than what I know to do with at this point so I got them the best. They only got them after James and I modified the hell out of them.
As we walk through platform 9 & 3/4, I spot a good number of people reading the Herald. More specifically, a new section of the Herald called Redemption of Redactions. It's basically a new part of the paper which looks for false, damaging or twisted articles written in the past and aims at bringing out the truth from falsehood.
It is a pretty nifty little idea if I do say so myself. And the fun thing about this is that this is part of my way of slowly crushing a certain insect scuttling around the place. Nearly 90% of what she writes is lies, overblown or just dragon shit. And this will slowly crush her reputation bit by bit. I want to drive her out of any job involving her writing or speaking any kind of news or knowledge. She ignored my warnings and tried to strike at me, so I will grind her to dust.
I didn't get that section just for that though, it's also to help fix past mistakes people have forgotten about, or help get some closure for others or maybe show people a buried truth.
It just so happens Rita Skeeter wrote many, many articles resulting in the crushing of people, businesses and magical advances, giving us a lot of ammunition.
As we pass by some loyal readers discussing the apparent truth, the three of us enter the shiny red train. Tory and I split off from Susan as she heads to find some friends from her house who didn't stay for the Yule ball, leaving me alone with my beautiful fiancé.
And lucky for us, no James or Christian will be coming on this ride.
So with a few spells here and a couple runes there, I've got the cabin completely secured. And that was probably the best trip back to Hogwarts I've ever had.
