Chapter 115 - Second Year (I) & Conspiracies

[POV Nemuri(Vicky)]

"No! And that's final! I have seen what you did when you had full control of the wards and I am not going to let that repeat again. You will get the partial control of the wards like every Head of House would... now..." I was saying when Dumbles roared in anger and cut me off. Everyone present in the room except me flinched due to the anger radiating from Dumb-as-a-door and he also started to release his magical power. ​​

My eyes turned immediately cold... so Ol Twinkles want to play the game like this. Then so be it... I also released my magical power which easily suppressed Fumbledork's magical power. Bumbledore was taken aback... along with everyone present in the room.

"You will do as I say or I will throw you out like I did to your pet Death Eater and don't try to compete me in strength... you might know more spells than me but you will lose in sheer raw power" I coldly said to Dumbledork who didn't show any outward reaction and kept looking at me with a calculative look. I already had my wand in my hands after all I won't let him attack me... and even if he does I want to be ready. A few seconds of silence passed but nobody said anything, I finally stopped releasing my magical power and decided to break the silence.

"Now as I was saying... I want weekly reports from all Head of the Houses. I don't want this school to go back to it's previous state and bullies should be given harsh punishments" I said and looked around. Except Dumbles everyone nodded their heads.

"Good! Now, I gotta go after all, I have several establishments to handle" I said waving at the Professors and walked out of the room. Heh... if Dumbles believed even for a moment that I would have handed him full control over the wards then he must have been dreaming. I handed him control over some wards but now he won't be able to spy through ghosts and the portraits. He also won't be able to order the House Elves to do anything outside of their duties. Now, all the Head of the Houses and Dumbles would be notified if someone casts any kind of lethal spells.

Now, I know Dumbles could force the Head of the Houses to do his bidding but I won't hold onto that for too much as I sure that Horace and Flitwick won't listen to Dumbles and from what I have seen last year Old Minnie Gi also won't listen to him. She was really hurt when the article about Harry came out and for months Minnie kept glaring at Ol Twinkles.

Now, even if he foreces the Head of the Houses to listen to him... he can't do that to Reo or my sister wives, after all the three of them had full control of the wards. They could spy through the potraits and ghosts. They would also know when someone casts a lethal spell with whole Hogwarts so, if Dumbles forces other not to take any action then I can put my foot down when I receive the weekly reports. Well... whatever, now that I am free I am gonna finish my porn collection... hehe...

[IN HEADMASTER'S OFFICE]

Albus released a disappointed sigh. "I cannot tell you all how much I am disappointed in young Vicky... why won't see the reason" Albus said in his disappointed grandfatherly tone while shaking his head.

"And what reason it might be Albus?" Minerva asked with a stern face. She wasn't happy with Albus... wasn't happy at all. Her hero-worship is now completely gone and now she sees for what Albus truly is. Flitwick and Pamona were also interested to hear Albus's reason. Horace looked really uninterested as he had some idea how Albus liked to play this game after all Horace knew Albus since way back.

"Ah... I am trying to teach Vicky that she must learn to forgive or we might push the students too far... they might seek out the dark side" Albus said in a regretting voice. Seeing that no one say anything, Albus thought his plan working so he decided to continue.

"Young Vicky... she holds too much power in young age and I assume you all know that power corrupts absolutely... hah... not able to forgive is the first sign that you are going dark" Albus said in a sad and solemn voice. But inside Albus was really happy, he was sure that this was working as this method had never failed him before. After all he is the Greatest Wizard alive... he is Albus Dumbledore. If he says someone is going dark then he or she is...

But alas, this wasn't Albus's time. Albus's hopes were shattered when the two of four Head of the Houses burst out laughing.

"Yes, sure Albus, when anyone don't listen to you then they must be going dark, right? Then, I am too going dark as I completely agree with Vicky Ravenclaw, bullies must be punished harshly" Minerva said after she finished laughing. After finished speaking her thoughts she walked out of the room.

Albus was stunned silent, he knew that Minerva was angry with him because of Harry and she blamed herself. But Albus was sure that like always Minerva would see the reason behind his actions.

"Yeah... yeah... Albus, I know how you work. I am completely familiar with your methods after all I have seen you the longest" Horace was the second person to laugh on Albus. He finally got up shaking his head and walked out of the room.

"Ah... Albus, now matter how much I give it a thought I am unable to find you are right. I completely despise the bullies and I completely agree with Lady Ravenclaws views and methods" Filius said and left the room, he didn't laugh out like Minerva and Horace but he completely agreed with Lady Ravenclaw, Minerva, and Horace. He believed that bullies must be dealt with an iron Fist.

"Ah... Professor I would leaving too" Pamona didn't know what to say, she decided to leave the room quickly. She also followed Filius and left the room.

Albus was the only one left in the room, he sat there completely stunnded and shocked. He couldn't even believe how quickly he was starting to lose trust and this won't do... Albus knew that he might be powerful but without his blind supporters he was just a strong wizard. Strong but alone and only being strong didn't matter much in these situations.

This won't do... Albus needed to do something to gain back the trust he had lost or how would he be able to lead Harry to his destiny. He was the only one who could defeat Tom, and lead Magical Britain to greatness... what he was doing was for the Greater Good... why would everyone be so hard and not listen his great wisdom?

Albus looked at his old friend... Fawkes. Fawkes trilled trying to cheer up Albus but unfortunately it wasn't working. Now, it was a misconception that Phoenixes were light creatures... apparently they were not. They were like any other familiars you have to bond with them like you did with any other familiars. Albus knew about this and he knew how wrong everyone was but he didn't correct anything after all this was the method he used to become the leader of light.

Albus went deep into his thoughts trying to make plans how to bring Harry back and gain back his popularity. Suddenly an image of fiery goblet appeared in his mind. A small and gentle smile appeared on his face.

While Albus was busy with his plans he didn't notice a portrait was watching him. If Albus had looked intently then he wouldn't have found that one portrait was not the original and have been changed with something else. Alas, Albus didn't thought to pay to much attention to it since all Portraits were completely useless to him now.

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

I finally separated by connection from the portrait. Yes, this portrait was placed by Nemuri during the holidays. With full control of the wards she apparated directly into Ol Twinkles office and changed one of the oldest portraits with a copy but this portrait was slightly different.

When a meeting would transpire I would receive a notification in my phone and through magic I would be able to connect with the portrait and see everything going in there. Yes, I went to sleep previously but Rumi woke me up when I received a notification.

In this world no one except had mobiles as of now and even if they did they didn't have notifications like iphones and Androids. In, MHA world Rumi wouldn't have bothered with a notification but in this world it is quite important. So she woke me up, after seeing the notification I quickly connected with the portrait so spy on the meeting.

Yes, Dumbles could be thrown out but I need him here so that he can start the Tri-Wizard Tournament. After all, it is going to be a scandal and there is no one else who would allow Tri-Wizard tournament to happen... and if the tournament doesn't happen then I would have no idea when Voldebaby would get his body and this would be a good chance to get rid of Moldeshorts too...

Heh... let's see what happens...
