70 an helping hand (1/2)
When he made his way in the great hall this Sunday, it momently became silent. Seeing the numerous Daily Prophet among them, he knows that it was related to the event of the past week. Not caring a bit, he seat with Luna and starts eating what Sunny brings the two.
”You know, it is time that you speak to them, they quite need it, now more than ever.” Says the blonde on his side.
”What do you mean?” Responds Alex before looking at the Gryffindor table. If before the two were looking at him with longing, they now clearly show distress.
”What happens?”
”Dumbles, Now that Lord Potter is dead, it falls on Jr to take the mantle, problem, he can't as long he isn't recognized by the Wisengomt. The Tournament had given the old man an opening to push the temporary emancipate status to a permanent one, all he needs is...”
”A wife... Fucker, he will actually force a young witch against her will?”
”No, he obtains no opposition from her family.”
”What?! She didn't say something against, why?”
”The DMLE is not really shining with good results since your libration, the state of Azkaban was just made public, along with the affair of Lockart, one of the female Auror let him escape after giving him a quickie in his cell. In order to direct the attention elsewhere, she and Dumbles have arranged for the wedding to take place. The union of two old House would distract them until the first task and after that...”
”They will forget. Thank,s Luna, I know I say that it would have been our day today but...” He says, feeling guilty, but he can't abandon his only two other friends.”Don't worry, do we do it there?”
”How do ... You... Right, seer, I should have known.” Says him facepalming, knowing perfectly what he was about to do.”Came along, young lady.” Says him while rising, soon followed by a happy Luna.
When he once again turns to the two girls, he saw their downcast expression while Susan's eyes start to moisten, thinking that he wouldn't do something. With a discreet sign of the head, he indicates them to follow them. The two hasten, completely ignoring James who has been tormenting them ever since he received the news for Dumbles.
James has since long started to lust after Susan's body, because of magic their body mature faster than normal human and the girl have been quite gifted in the physical department. While conserving a petite stature of a barley meter and sixty centimeters, she has been endowed with a generous chest that was only accentuated by her small frame that even her plain wizard robes couldn't completely hide. Even if she was only in her four years, she was more gifted than a good portion of the seven ones.
The fact that he had a contract with House Bones also bring him another unexpected gift, Hermione. Ever since Susan has taken her as a ward of House Bones, the girl destiny have been tied with the House, when the contract came into existence, it also has state that every resource of the House would be at the disposition of House Potter, giving him ways to cower and pressure the girl.
Ever since it was known, she started to have nightmares, while he couldn't do anything for an academic point, owning her would let him vent his anger in ways that strike fear in her. Why she fear him was rather evident when the boy has boosted that while he would keep Susan, he would pass Hermione to the House. Unfortunately for her, Alex wasn't here anymore to stood like a wall for them and they have long since thought that he would never see the light again and would vent their own feelings on the closet thing they have against him, her.
So ever since he returns they have wanted to go to him, only to be stopped by their guilt about Luna but they themselves weren't worries free about their Hogwarts live ever since his depart. When she learned the previous day that she would have to marry the git before the first task and even produce an Heir, in case that something happens to him, she nearly broke, completely devasted that her own aunt was selling her off for her own benefit without caring about her.
The pasts years have changed the woman before she would have never allowed this but the repeated mistake made by her department and the Wisengamot have finally worn her down. Letting her at the mercy of a returned Dumbledore and his schemes.
That way, the two of them where completely distressed, with less than three weeks before the task and the death of James Sr, the wedding would have to happen at least two weeks prior in order to let her enough time to be impregnated. When they see Alex, they know that today was their last chance. When they see him raise en tart to exit the room, Susan nearly broke in tears, but the barely perceptible movement of his head clear everything. She bolts out of her seat, closely followed by Hermione, completely deaf to the increasing yells of James who attract the attention of all.
At the commotion, Dumbledore raised his head, and at the sight of the fleeting two young ladies, the pursuing James and Alex who was exiting the Hall, fear gripped him. The fear that everything would be lost if the two girls were able to escape from the castle. He knows that if they do so, they would not see them again at least until the task. He couldn't allow that, so raising from his seat and taking his wand, a spell impacts the doorpost, making them bang shut and trapping all five of them inside the hall until he settles the situation.
”What do you think you're doing Dumbledore?! Open the doors!”Furious at the act of Dumbles, Alex makes volte-face.
”I fear that I can't do that, otherwise, two young ladies would try to sneak out of the castle, and as their Headmaster I am responsible for their safety.” Say the man with a dotting smile on his face.
”You and I both know that you don't care for their safety, but only want to be sure that there still there until you force a young witch against her will and let a pig **** her!”
His words brought confused whispers from their hosts, making the old man wince internally and curse at the boy to exposing the situation.
