[POV Rumi(Roxanne)]
I know that Reo had something to do with this but I don't know how was he able to dig up all this dirt on the meddling old fool.
Reo had told all of us before about some of the crimes he had committed. Even with those crimes, he seemed to be scum on Earth, and with all these crimes... I don't even know what to say, honestly. If I see that bastard again then I will strangle him with his own beard.
I looked up from the paper and scanned the Great Hall. It was complete pandemonium... thank God, Momo cast a noise-cancellation ward around us or I would have swept away with the noise. After getting my Animagus form, my hearing and instincts have become much more sensitive.
"How were you even able to get all this information?" I was unable to hold back my curiosity and waved the paper in front of Reo.
"Ah, ah, ah... no can say. It's a trade secret after all" Reo said while wagging his finger and a playful smile on his face. Well... two can play this game... I will get you for this later. Hmpf! I snorted and looked around the Professors were doing their absolute best to calm down the students.
A few minutes passed but they still weren't able to get back any control on the students. All of them cursing and berating the old fool. Reo and Nemuri have been right... the people of this place were mindless sheep. Just an hour ago many of these students wouldn't have minded if they would have to worship the ground where Dumbles walked.
The doors of Great Hall burst open... I only noticed that because of my instincts. After all, because of the noise-cancellation ward, I wasn't able to hear anything outside the circle.
Amelia Bones entered the Great Hall followed by several of her Aurors. I saw Dora in the group who was sporting an electric blue mohawk today. She quickly found our group and winked towards us. I kind of like the girl... she certainly does have style. Seeing the group of Aurors and the head of DMLE the Great Hall became completely silent, Reo canceled the ward around us. Honestly, I was also interested in what they were going to speak about.
But before Amelia could even say anything someone else decided to grace us with her presence. Obviously, it was the depraved pervert who owned this school. Oh... it's not that I have a grudge or something against her, in fact, I like her a lot but she is the most depraved pervert I have ever seen. If I haven't met her... I would have never guessed someone could so shameless.
She was wearing regal robes... though they were made with a lot thinner material. She had an excited gleam in her eyes... She walked upto Amelia's group and greeted them.
"Lady Ravenclaw, it's good that you finally joined us" Amelia said with her stern face.
"As soon I read the paper I Apparited directly outside the Hogwarts gate. I always had some doubts about him... that's why I took away most of his power in the school. He seemed like a guy who would invite small boys and girls into his room by offering candies" Nemuri said. Damn... you Nemuri, did you really have to give me that sick image.
Everyone clearly heard what Nemuri said... even though some looked disturbed and uncomfortable but no one had the guts to protest that, or they might be ousted out as Dumbledore supporter if even half of the crimes written down on paper was right then they would be declared outcasts as Dumbledore supporters.
"It's good! Now, let's head towards the Headmaster's office" Amelia said to McGonagall who grimly nodded her head.
"Oh... there is no use doing that... I have already checked the wards. The headmaster's office is empty... the portraits saw him flame away with his fire turkey" Nemuri stated with a stated face. Amelia cursed under her breath and looked kind of disappointed but not that much. She looked like she had expected Ol Twinkles to run away. Well, I won't put it past her and Reo after all they make a lot of plans together.
"I am here to take control to school until all the Professors are cleared of any influence they might have from any spells or potions. I wouldn't put it past the whiskered fool to do this. I would like to ask the assistance of your Aurors" Nemuri said and the Professors didn't look happy because of the accusation but didn't voice out anything.
"Well, since Dumbledore has already done a runner... I guess I could give you some assistance. Rufus, you go to Floo office and ask them to monitor the Floo network for Dumbledore's magical signature... he might try to contact someone" Amelia barked out the order and the Rufus guy nodded his head and immediately ran out of the Great Hall. "Robards, I want you to head to the Portkey management office... they might pick up his magical signature if he uses unauthorized Portkey" Robards nodded his head and left the Great Hall. "Kingsley, I want to head to the Ministry and set up Dumbledore's new status" Amelia spoke and Kingsley nodded his head and left the Hall. "The rest of you help Lady Ravenclaw, Auror Tonks you are in charge. I am heading back to my office to get everything prepared... I also have to meet the fo-Minister" Amelia said and walked out.
She is quite confident... she didn't even flinch when she almost called the Minister a fool. Dora just nodded her head but immediately tripped when she turned around towards the Heads Table. She cursed loudly and immediately started to cast some detection charms and all of them came positive, quite surprising, right? The Professors themselves were shocked to see this. The Aurors quickly led them towards the Infirmary, Nemuri decided to follow them.
I was interested to see what happened afterward but I needed to practice my magic. I will only use my Physical Strength as a last resort, I have never fought anyone using magic... yes, I have sparred with Reo and my sister wives but they don't count... after all, there wasn't any danger factor. I wonder what I magical battle would feel like.
I said goodbye to Reo and the girls and walked towards the 7th floor. After entering the ROR, I decided to think about everything I knew about the tournament. Reo wanted to help me with information but I denied it as where would be any fun if I had everything handed to me. There won't be any thrill for me...
Now, I know that the first task was about acquiring an item guarded by some magical beast. It has been always like that... and I don't see any reason for them to change the events of the tournament, at least they won't do it now. Any clues relating to the second task would be found in the item we have to acquire in the first task. In the third task, there is going to be a maze... the goblet of fire would be at the end of the maze. Whoever touches the cup first wins... Well, I guess that is it.
So, I have to prepare to fight against some magical creatures... but I shouldn't be so sure after all there should be only three participants in the Triwizard Tournament and here we are... seven participants.
So, I decided to study magical creatures. Several huge tomes appeared in front of me. Even though I hate to read but there is a certain thrill about doing research for a creature I am going to fight. With just that thought my blood was boiling in excitement and I opened the first tome. It was about some simple magical creature... that won't do. Triwizard Tournament is a blood sport... so they won't get some weak creatures.
I should research Griffons, Dragons, Chimeras, Nundu, Thunderbird, or something similar to them. I found the section about Griffons and started to read it. I only noticed it was quite late when my stomach growled in hunger. Damn... I spent too much time here. I cast a Tempus and found that dinner was about to start. I left the room and decided to head towards the Great Hall. I reached the Great Hall and found a huge crowd has gathered in front of the Hall.
I walked upto the crowd because if I wanted to enter the Great Hall I had to walk by the crowd. And I was surprised that all the Champions were gathered there... well except me. Even Harry was here... Sirius was standing behind him.
"Miss Ravenclaw! We have been looking for you for some time since everyone is here they are going to announce the date of the first task and tell you a few rules" I was walking towards the crowd when Professor Flitwick called me out with his squeaky voice.
"Ah, sorry professor, I was reading some books" I said, Flitwick waved it off saying that it wasn't a huge deal and they didn't have to wait for long.
"Ah!! Miss Ravenclaw, it's nice that you joined us. If you would follow us... we can't delay anymore. After all, as soon as this meeting is done all of you would be able to prepare for the tournament" Ludo Bagman said in an excited voice and lead us to a room. Dora was there along with Nemuri and McGonagall.
"Wotcher Roxy" Dora called out to me. I greeted the clumsy Auror back.
After that, all the details were ironed out. They didn't tell us much, just that there were going to be three tasks. The first task is going to be on November 24th, and junior participants would be given protective gear for the tournament.
Finally, the stupid meeting was over... and I was famished but I looked over to Harry who didn't look too much Happy.
"Harry, are you alright?" I asked him.
"Nope! I am not... I am kind of scared" Harry said while shaking his head. Sirius patted his back to give him confidence.
"Oh... don't worry. You will be fine, pup. I will get the best teachers to train you" Sirius said. With that Sirius left and I decided to take Harry with me to our table after all he was our friend. Heh... I can't for the tournament to start...
