The Epic of Leviathan

Just like Reo and others have thought, the economy of Magical Britain has collapsed. Nemuri had arranged a meeting for the people who wanted to discuss new terms but most of them entailed giving her a home-husband. Some men were so old that even the original Nemuri would have to call them Grandad. Many saw that Nemuri rejecting all the men, so they thought that she might be a Witch's Witch so they started to offer women, Nemuri rejected them too. By the end of the meeting, Nemuri was wondering why she even bothered with this meeting at all.

Since the meeting didn't go like the debtors wanted they had to pay all the money they owed to the Ravenclaws, which left most of them in shambles. The ones who were left with money had to close their business because their remaining funds were not enough to run the business.

The prominent families who owed the Ravenclaws money also had to empty most part of their vaults to return the money. They enjoyed the money till now since the Ravenclaws were extinct and there was no one to claim all those money and now they had to pay not only the money but interest on top of that. That made them bleed...

Only a few families were spared from this situation. Like the Weasleys, Bones, Longbottoms, and Potters. They were rich enough themselves so they didn't have to borrow any money from the Ravenclaws.

Families like Blacks were unlucky, unfortunately, Sirius had to give up a sizable amount of his fortune to pay off the debt. In fact, he looked quite happy while handing over the money to Ravenclaws. Malfoys have arrived in Britain before Ravenclaws were gone, so they had to borrow money so that they could establish their family here.

Carrows, Crabbes, Goyles, Crouch, Lestrange, Notts, Rosiers, Selwyns, Travers, and Yaxleys also paid dearly because of this debt collection. Many of their businesses were closed due to that. Lestrange's and Travers's vaults weren't enough to pay off the debts so some of their properties were also seized.

Torquil Travers made a lot of rackets but there wasn't anything he could have done. Yeah, he tried spouting about Nemuri being a half-blood but no one wanted to support him on this useless campaign. Gaunts were dirt poor when they died off so Nemuri got nothing from the Gaunts.

So, Reo's aim was achieved, he wanted the Death Eaters to run on coffers and now he achieved that. There was a simple reason to do this. Reo knew that Moldyshorts gonna be back and he would be raising another war. He can't kill Moldyshorts and Reo had doubts that Harry would be able to kill him when he rises up. No matter how much Harry trains he can't bridge the gap of raw strength between them.

No matter what kind of monster Tom was but no one would argue the fact that Tom is a strong wizard on par with Dumbles. And even if Harry somehow closes the gap of raw strength between the two of them, he will still lack the experience Tom has. Now, even if Harry was getting trained by Sirius but he was worlds apart from Tom's power. In the books, Harry survived a lot of confrontations between them, Reo knows that lady luck's role in that. If Reo was in Tom's place then he would have killed Harry in the first year. As Reo always believed in nipping it in the bud before it blooms.

So, now when the matter of wars you need money to raise them. Now, from what Reo knew, Moldyshorts didn't claim Slytherin's heirship so he didn't money from there. Gaunts were poorer than Weasleys, so Gaunts were also off the board. So, Tommy Boy got his funds from his followers. Now, almost all of his followers had to empty their pockets and you can't raise war on empty pockets.

Reo could have specifically pointed out the Death Eaters and taken the debts from their families but he wanted to empty Dumbledore's pockets too. If no side had any money then no side would be able to push the other. The members of the Order of Phoenix also lost a huge amount of money and Reo always wanted to collapse the economy of someplace and this was such a nice chance to give up.

Now, when the whole Magical Britain was facing a Dark Time because their economy collapsed the people responsible for this were sitting near a fireplace cuddled together in their vacation home on the snowy mountains of Russia...

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

After we came back from the MHA world after enjoying two weeks of vacation in our original world we decided to continue our vacation and came to our vacation home in Russia. Neither of the girls have been on any vacation in the mountains so here we were. This was our last day and we would be going back.

I have already read about the dark times in Britain but I don't care in the slightest. Why the hell would I do that? This works really great for my plans. But, some articles on Nemuri printed by The Daily Prophet were not nice... now that I think of it most Magicals are sheep and believe whatever shit written on the paper or the smear campaign on Harry in his fifth wouldn't have worked.

"Nemuri, I need you to do something" I said looking down on Nemuri who was cuddling over me, she was by my left side. She immediately lifted her head and looked towards me with a stupid grin on her face. I don't know why she even had that expression on her face... she might be having some perverted thoughts and found them interesting.

"Yeah, what is it?" Nemuri asked me.

"Buy the Daily Prophet, I need to control the information source of Magical Britain" I said while Nemuri got a confused look on her face.

"If this is because of the things they wrote about me then you don't have to..." Nemuri started to speak but Momo cut her off.

"No, it's because magical people are sheep and they blindly believe whatever tripe or shit they write on their paper... it would be really nice to have control over that. And now you could but the whole business dirt cheap... now that everything related to the economy has collapsed" Momo who was on my right side corrected Nemuri.

"Oh... ok. I will arrange a meeting with their boss after we get back to Britain" Nemuri said and the stupid grin came back on her face... only by that I knew that she went back to her perverted little world...

*******************

[POV Nemuri(Vicky)]

After having a month of nice vacation I was finally back in Britain. Well, actually it was only two weeks because the time when we were in our original world time was frozen here and we enjoyed only two weeks in our vacation home in Russia.

Today, I was gonna bring Tonks over to Castle Ravenclaw for a small tour so, Reo, Momo, and Rumi were in our mundane flat. Finally getting dressed in mundane clothes I Apparated out of the castle and arrived in front of Tonks residence.

It's just like I remembered... I went up to their door and was about to knock but the door opened. It was Tonks who opened the door. She must have been waiting right in front of the door.

"How long you have been waiting here?" I asked her giving her a blank stare. Tonks had the decency to blush due to her embarrassment because her hair changed slightly red. Sometimes she is just an easy book to read. Tonks finally gathered all her bearings.

"I don't know what you are talking about... I heard someone Apparating so I came to check" Tonks said trying to make up a decent lie.

"Yeah... right... then let's go going but let me greet Mr. and Mrs. Tonks first" I said the first part in a blank tone.

"Well... my mom is out for groceries while my dad is in his office" Tonks said and grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.

"Now, spill up how do you know Magneto?" Tonks asked in a whispering tone.

"First let be off to Castle Ravenclaw, we can freely talk there" I said, and Tonks nodded to that. I extended my hand which she grabbed.

"Hold tightly... this is gonna be rough" I said and side-along Apparated bringing Tonks with me. We arrived right outside the castle gates and Tonks ended sprawled on her ass... oops arse.

"Tonks? Are you okay there?" I asked with a smug grin. Tonks just glared at me while getting up from the ground and dusted off her pants.

"You did that intentionally!" Tonks exclaimed at me as she continued glaring.

"Oh... I don't know what are you talking about" I said and gestured her towards the front. Tonks gave me a stink eye and looked at what I was showing her. Her eyes grew wide as much as possible and her jaw hanged open.

"Don't catch a fly with that" I said and closed her mouth. I poured my magic in the ring and the huge metal opened wide and I walked in. I heard Tonks gulped in awe and entered the premises while following me.

While walking down path Tonks was completely silent, she was looking all around like a small kid. We finally arrived right in front of the gates when Tonks grabbed my arm stopping me.

I looked at her and she was looking at me with a myriad of expressions. "I read the paper" she finally spoke.

"Yeah, so what about it... I don't care what they write about me" I said and waved my hand.

"No... I am asking why you did that" Tonks said with a serious voice but she continued. "You know, you made the whole Magical Britain your enemy, right?" Tonks said to which I just nodded my head.

"Then why?" Tonks asked me in complete bewilderment.

"Magneto asked me..." I was saying but before I could finish she cut me off.

"Why? What's your connection with him? I don't think it's still enough to make whole Magical Britain your enemy" Tonks said with a serious voice.

"There is huge plot behind that... and some of us are fighting to stop it. Magneto might seem to be the bad guy but it's actually the opposite or else Amelia Bones and your parents won't have joined our cause" I said to Tonks. Tonks was really shocked and surprised that her parents have joined Magneto's side and Amelia Bones joining him was much more surprising. Tonks have read about Amelia Bones because she wanted to know her future department head.

"Then tell me what this plot is" after some minutes passed Tonks finally spoke up with determination filled in her eyes. I grabbed Tonks shoulder and Apparated both of us to our garden. I gestured her towards the seat and I sat down on the opposite side.

"Well... this goes back to the year of 1980..." with that the tale started...
