The Epic of Leviathan

While Reo was putting his plans into motion. Nemuri finally finished her tale, Tonks was completely bewildered and her mouth hung open.

[POV Nemuri(Vicky)]

"I can't even imagine how someone can do something like this... I respected that man so much... now, that I have found out the truth... I think he is completely senile" Tonks started her rant.

"Yes, you might think that, but he isn't senile... he is one behind your drugging because he wanted to control me... and because of my Lady ring, he wasn't able to attack me directly so he used you. If he was just a senile bastard then he would have left some proof of his involvement but Magneto found none" I said while huffing. Tonks looked at me for quite some time before speaking up.

"How much you trust this Magneto guy?" she asked me looking slightly interested.

"A lot... I trust him completely, even with my life" I said. Tonks nodded to herself and went to thinking.

"So what now?" she asked me after thinking a lot. I don't know what she thought about but it must be weighing on her mind. No matter... what I am gonna do now, will make her want to run away.

"Vicky... your smile is scaring me..." Tonks said while backing away from me. Oops... I let myself slip up.

"I don't know what you are talking about" I said with a gentle smile on my face.

"No! I know, you thought something dangerous just now, I know you too well not to see that!" Tonks exclaimed in fear.

"Fine... fine... take away all the fun of it. I wanted to train you on Occlumency. Now, that I have told you the secrets, Dumbles would be able to get them out of you. I am still working on the rings I wanted to make so you have to work with Occlumency right now" I said and a sadistic grin appeared on my face. Tonks tried to back away but couldn't because of the couch.

"Hey... Vicky... I don't think I am feeling too well. Can I come back later?" Tonks asked me giving puppy dog eyes... hehehe... Tonks looked like a lamb waiting to be hunted...

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

"Are you sure that she would be here?" Amelia asked me.

It was already night and I went back to Amelia's office and brought her here with me. Both of us were currently standing over the building of the Daily Prophet.

"She is a late-night worker... she collects all the stories and scoops she can during the day and then comes back here to add some spice in them" I said to Amelia. Now, how did I know that? Because I ripped the information from some random guy's mind who has been working in The Daily Prophet for about more than 13 years. I didn't tell Amelia she didn't need to know, but I think she had an idea.

"Looks like your information was right" Amelia said pointed towards a blonde woman.

"My information is never wrong, you know... I pay extra attention while collecting details" I said and looked towards Rita Skeeter who finally entered the building.

"Yes... of course, after all, you like to rip out information from people's minds right?" Amelia asked and gave me a stink eye. Looks like Amelia did have an idea of how I collected information. Well, who cares if she knows or not.

"But how were you sure that she won't use Floo?" Amelia asked me looking quite confused. I unfolded an invisibility cloak and handed it over to Amelia.

"She is a gossiper... she likes to gossip so she always travels on foot if not Apparating. For your information I also ripped this little bit of information from someone's mind" I said and Amelia muttered something about innocent people and all but put on the invisibility cloak. With my powers, I was still keeping notice of where Rita was currently in the building.

After waiting for a few minutes she was completely alone and from her position, I guess this was her office. Usually, I would have just walked through the place as I own it but this time I decided to sneak in because if someone saw me talking to Rita Skeeter then they would know that she or her stories were compromised and I can't let that happen.

I gestured Amelia with my hand to follow him. I slowly floated in the air and made Amelia float behind me. I heard a small yelp... hehe... I will tease her later with that. Both Amelia and I finally arrived by Rita's office window. Her back was towards the window, she was happily humming some song while writing something... she must be planning to ruin someone.

Now, that I think of it the invisibility cloak was completely unnecessary. Well, it's better to have it on hand rather than needing it and not having it. I placed my hand on Amelia's shoulder and used Flash Step to teleport inside Rita's office without tripping the wards. I quickly cast my usual wards along with the strongest silencing charms and notice-me-not charms around the room. I was behind her and she was currently writing her enchantingly nasty story so she didn't notice me.

"Hello, Rita... it's nice to meet you!" I said finally breaking the silence and Rita jumped up fell on her table due to the scare. She somehow managed to pull herself off the table and pointed her wand towards me... this was the moment she finally saw me and her face paled drastically.

"M-Magneto? What are you doing here?" Rita stuttered but somehow gathered her usual journalist courage and asked me.

"Yeah... you see I read some of your stories and I thought that I should personally pay you a visit" I said while looking around her office. I didn't seem to pay any attention to her. Amelia was still under her invisibility cloak so Rita only saw me.

"You see... I like your talent and I find myself in immediate need of your expertise... I hope you can understand, right?" I said asserting the point of joining me.

"I I... I would never join a Dark Lord. Everyone will know I would be missing if you kill me... or do something to me. You can't use Imperius Curse because someone would find out and report it to Amelia Bones" At first Rita stuttered and then proclaimed with a smug face. I don't know how the brain of magical people works? They are really fucking daft...

"Are you perhaps speaking about this Amelia Bones?" I asked and in a dramatic manner, Amelia pulled off her invisibility cloak. Rita's eyes grew completely wide and started at Amelia with a hanging jaw.

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Skeeter, I look forward to what you are going to write next" Amelia said in a stern tone.

"How?" Rita asked Amelia in a horrified tone. Did she already believe that this was Amelia... in this world anyone can change face with a Polyjuice potion and she didn't think that this Amelia could be a fake one? Yup... there is no hope of Magical Britain.

"You don't need to know" Amelia said and kept glaring at Rita.

"Fine... what do I have to do?" Rita asked turning her head towards me. She must be really daft if she thinks that I would just let her go...

"Take an unbreakable vow" I said in a joyous tone this made Rita even more horrified.

"No... I won't do that... you can't make me!" Rita said looking completely serious.

"See I told you" Amelia said from my side.

"Yeah... but remember what I told you" I said and pulled my wand and pointed it towards Rita. This made Rita go pale again but the spell I cast almost made her soul leave her body. "Crucio" as soon as the spell hit Rita she dropped to the ground and started to scream out her lungs in pain while rolling in the ground. Tears started to flow down her eyes...

After fifteen seconds, I finally lifted the spell and Rita stopped screaming. She was still on the floor breathing heavily...

"I will... I will take the vow... tell me what to say" Rita finally caught her breath and whispered.

"See... pain is the best motivator" I said looking at Amelia in a happy tone showing her my point. A tick mark appeared on her head. Now... the problem was any oaths she takes using my name are useless because there is no way I telling her my real name. I don't mind Amelia knowing it since I trust her now... but it's completely different in Rita's case.

"Amelia, I think it would be a lot better if she comes under your wing because I won't be always available so she could find a loophole and write shit about your department" I said to Amelia, at first she looked surprised but then a small smile appeared on her face. Amelia really hated Rita...

Amelia pulled out a parchment from Rita's table and wrote down the oath. Rita took the paper and made an unbreakable vow to Amelia. Amelia immediately gave her some commands that she should not write or tell or say anything related to this night to others. Amelia was a good choice as she closed off all the loopholes that the bug could have used to escape.

"Now... Rita... I have two awesome pieces of stories for you. The first one... you can print tomorrow... but the next should be published on 1st September" I said and I could immediately see Rita's eyes started to sparkle. I just Cruciod her for goodness sake and she is like this... are all magical people this weird?

"Three new Ravenclaw Heirs are found, they would be starting Hogwarts this year, Edgar Ravenclaw, Alice Ravenclaw, and Roxanne Ravenclaw, give them a nice image, I would appreciate that, after all, Ravenclaws are my allies" I said, hearing me Amelia wasn't surprised that Ravenclaws were my allies but she did react when I said that three Ravenclaw heirs are found.

Rita was a completely different story, she was already writing down everything with stars in her eyes. She didn't even use her quick quill... surprising.

"Now, what's the next news?" Rita asked me slightly excited.

"We have to go somewhere else to get you that story" with that Amelia grabbed Rita's shoulder while I grabbed Amelia's and Apparated out.

"Ha-Harry Potter!" Rita was the first one to speak up after arriving inside the Black Mansion in France.

"Rita Skeeter... I give you an exclusive interview with Harry Potter" I said in a dramatic manner to which Amelia just snorted, Sirius didn't know what to make of it and Harry just gave me a blank look...
