68 The first of many to came (1/2)
”Alex, it good to see you once again.”Not buying his grandfather smile, he says.
”It's Heir Evans for you Fumbledore, you want something?”
”Yes, I wanted to discuss with you the possibility to release young Wiliam Weasley.”
”He is in goblin's hand, as long as the debt isn't settled, they won't release him.”
”But they don' have that much of money to spare...”
”I don't care about where the money came, as long as it's pay. I specified that they would be released only after it due.”
”So you won't mind if I do?” Says the man with an already contract in hand.
”Go ahead.” Seeing the path clear, the man approach, put the document on the table before looking at him.
”I just need your signature on the document.”
He nods at this and signs, giving it to Dumbles to do so. Once done, the man hastily says.
”Minerva, take care of everything else, will you? I need to hurriedly set him free.”
”While you're at this, you can tell his wife that her husband has died in Azkaban.”
””What?!””
While Dumbledore runs out of the hall completely unphased by the news, one couldn't say the same thing from the twins.
”Well, you don't know but the situation at the prison isn't really good now, Dementors have vanished and the top of the tower is frozen solid, all the inmates in the high-security cells are dead, and your father was also serving his sentence there, so he pretty much end like ice cubes, oh! Potter, your mother also is dead, the same thing, so sorry. Speaking of dead, Poppy, aren't you see if Lord Potter is still alive?”
This broke the hold on the medic witch who only realizes now that she has two injured to heal. She first goes to Lord Potter, but with the size of the pool of blood bled out by his stump, it was rather clear as of his fate. A couple of diagnostics spells later and she shakes her head sadly.
”Bleed out?” Ask Alex curious?
”Along with suffocation, the spell of Professor Lockart has vanished the ribcage, the lungs have to compress the heart, making bleed out faster, and without the ribcage, the lungs have collapsed and where unable to bring the oxygen.”
”So... Did a professor of Hogwarts just kill a Lord of an Ancient and Noble House?”
His words made them all realize that it was indeed the case. As all turn white, Alex turns to James.
”Sorry dude, it seems like you orphan now, but hey, look at the bright side, your fourteen, you are now the new Lord Potter, it must count for something, right?”
This was too much for the boy who just awake and faint again, making Alex shake its head.
”What a sissy. So I was told that they're a tournament ongoing but I wasn't told who was my opponent?”
”I know!” He turns to Luna.
”Who?”
”Humm, Victor, Fleur, Cedric, James, and you!” Says her happily while pointing at each, making Alex look at them.”So an international seeker for Durmstrang, the daughter of the french DMLE head for Beauxbatons, a flower boy and a sissy eunuch for Hogwarts? And Fudge thinks that Britain will win? I once again astonished by the stupidity of the man.”
Saying this he near the staff table and directly go for the french representative, Bowing in front of her.
”Veuillez m'excuser de ne m'être presenter à vous le moment de mon arriver. Je me presente, Alexandre Daren Evans, Heritier du clan Evans, pour vous servir, madame.”
Like their Headmistress, all of the students of Beauxbatons were surprised that he speaks a fluent french. Raising her hand to him, he takes it before kissing the back of her hand.
”Vous êtes excuser, monsieur Evans. Je dois dire que je ne m'attendez pas a rencontrer quelqu'un ici ayant pris la peine d'étudier d'autre languge que la sienne.”
”Malheureusement le niveau academique d'Hogwarts à chuter terriblement, laissant seulement rustre completer leur etudes ici.”
This trigger a wave of laugher for them while Alex smirk.
”Si vous voulez bien m'excuser, j'ai une autre person a saluer.”
”Faite donc.” Say her, making him send him a small nod.
Making a round of the table, he stopped in front of the Headmaster of Durmstrang.
”While I don't speak your language like the one of Madam Maxim, allow me to transmit the same message, I welcome you and your students in this castle, while it won't be up to the standard of your, I hope that you will pass an agreeable moment and for the duration of the tournament,” says Alex, looking at the man straight in the eyes.
Igor didn't know what to say of the boy but until then he has stay courteous of him and his school unlike all the British representant, so he opts for the safest way, nod and takes the outstretched hand in a solid hand check.
”Thank your, Mista Evans.”
”Your welcome Headmaster Karkaroff. On this if your must excuse me I still hadn't had breakfast yet!”
He returns to the Ravenclaw table and sits, rapidly followed by Luna.
”Sunny?”
”Yes, master?” Says the Elf as he appears in front of all in his form-fitting butler outfit, Evans' crest clearly displayed on the breast pocket.
