Chapter 75: Causing Mayhem (II)... [edited]
[POV Reo]
After leaving Pettigrew in the dungeons of Castle Ravenclaw, I apparated right in front of the Ministry of Magic. If I needed to get Sirius out of the prison then I needed the location of the Island of Azkaban and this is the only place from where I could get the location. I was going to invade the Ministry of Magic but to do that without calling in all the Unspeakables and Aurors I needed to be silent this time.
I walked into the broken-down telephone booth and dialed 62442 and immediately a robotic female voice was heard asking my name and my reason to visit ministry.
"Magneto and I want the location of Azkaban" I said and a silver badge with 'Magneto' name and my reason to visit the ministry appeared and the lift immediately started to move. How the hell is the ministry so stupid?? Can't they understand I came here to get the location of Azkaban??? Are all the magical so senseless and logicless? I think I shouldn't have expected much from them. I morphed the metal armor on my body into metal robes that exactly looked like a wizard but my face was kept hidden by a mask and a hood.
After about a minute, the door finally opened and I was already in the Atrium. I expected this place to be crowded but I can't be always right... after all, the ministry is closed so how the hell did they let me enter?? Most stupidest people must have made this place.
The ceiling was peacock blue with golden symbols moving across it. The Fountain of Magical Brethren was halfway down the Atrium. A group of golden statues, depicting a wizard, a witch, a centaur, a goblin, and a house-elf, spouted water into the surrounding pool of water. At the end of the Atrium, there was a set of golden gates, next to which was a security stand. The security stand was empty... I feel really bad for them. How lax can these people be???
I walked up to the lift, all of them were inactive and could be only activated by Ministry Workers using a special key but since they were made by metals this pathetic security was useless in front of me. I opened the doors and entered the lift and the lift immediately started to go up. I took out a simple and regular invisibility cloak and donned it over.
I reached the level two and opened the doors of the lift and exited and looked around if someone was guarding this level or not. After all, this was the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
I looked around for a minute and I took off the cloak and morphed my clothes back into my armor. You know what... I won't complain if they make my job of invading the Ministry so easy. I should even hang a thanking note for welcoming me like this. I used my powers and easily mapped the whole floor using my metal sense... even if these magical buildings they still seem to have metals inside the walls.
I spent the next hour inside the room they kept the case files and found Sirius Black's files or there lack of. There was nothing in the case of the file as there was only the arrest report and Sirius Black being sent to Azkaban for the crime of murdering 12 muggles, Peter Pettigrew and selling out Potter's to You-know-who.
Even after No Nose's death, they can't call his name... so pathetic. But I didn't find anything related to the location of Azkaban in there. I suspect that I won't find the location in some Auror's office so I knew where I needed to visit next. The only person who would definitely have the authority is Amelia Bones.
So, I directly made my way towards Amelia Bones' office while holding Sirius Black's file. I found her office and good thing her door lock is also made of metal. I don't know what kind of magic stuff was embedded in the door of her room. I activated my lightning armor and unlocked the door and a wave of red light hit everything in the room. It seemed to me like a stunning spell or something similar.
I walked inside her room and started to search for the location of Azkaban. I quickly found the location of Azkaban but there was a small and minor problem. Several people have appeared inside my sensory range and arrived on this floor and three life signs were directly coming towards this room. Well, at least, now I can send the message that I can also invade the Ministry of Magic if needed.
But one person separated from the group and only two people were coming in my exact direction meaning one of them might be Amelia Bones... after all, I have caused a huge ruckus for the Aurors by invading the Burrow. Well this should be much better for me. I locked the door and the iron sand in my armor started to spread around the room. I sat in Amelia Bones' chair and turned around. Soon I heard the click of the door and heard two people speaking.
"This is going to be a headache Shaklebolt. I can't imagine what would happen if the Daily Prophet gets the wind of this... who's there?" Amelia Bones finally noticed me and pointed her wand at me and Kingsley Shaklebolt also did the same. I was turned away from them looking at a broad filled with pictures of several convicted Death Eaters.
"Who are you? Drop your wand and turn around" Shaklebolt said and moved slightly away from Amelia Bones so I can't attack them both at once but I honestly didn't need to do that.
"Wand??? I don't need a wand" I said and the door snapped close and iron sand laying dormant on the floor rushed up and started to wrap around their body. Both started to fire spells at the iron sand but there was no stopping the inevitable.
Soon both Amelia Bones and Kingsley Shaklebolt were both ridded of their wands and iron sand handed their wands to me and I looked at the wands with interest but didn't let the wand users go.
"So, you are Magneto" Amelia Bones said calmly. I shouldn't expect anything less from her. She has seen too much action to remain calm even now. Only now I turned towards Amelia Bones and Kingsley Shaklebolt... well meeting Shaklebolt is a added bonus. He would take this news straight to Dumbledore... I don't remember if he had joined the Order of Fried Chicken already or not. Even if hasn't joined it's much better for me like this.
"Madame Bones... it's so nice of you to join me this auspicious evening... oops sorry night. You can understand when someone is so busy that they forget the time... you can surely relate as you are also a busy woman?" I asked Amelia Bones and sat down in her chair and made her and Shaklebolt sit in the visitor's chairs.
"I can relate..." Amelia Bones said and I could clearly feel the disgust in her voice. I finally turned my head towards Shaklebolt.
"Ah... forgive my manners Auror Kingsley Shaklebolt, I didn't greet you before. Sorry for the incident in the Burrow... after all, I ruined both of your evenings but I needed to do something" I said looking at both of them. Hearing that I knew Shaklebolt rang bells in both of their heads, I understood that much from their expressions.
"So... you attacked the Weasley's because you wanted to get me here?" Amelia Bones asked.
"Oh... no no. I needed that Rat... for me that Rat is much more than a pet and in near future, you are going to get a headache because of that same Rat. For that... I want to ask both of your forgiveness" this time both were dumbfounded, their face clearly said that I must be really crazy to think that a pet Rat could be so important.
"Meeting you here is just is a added bonus. I have been planning to meet you but I thought that ripping through a private ward would be much easier than ministry but honestly when I got in here I was very very disappointed. They were practically inviting me" hearing me both Amelia Bones and Shaklebolt were completely shocked and I could see rage building in Amelia Bone's eyes when she heard that I was planning to invade her home.
"I am a good man... so even if I invaded your house I wouldn't have hurt your niece... what her name is?? Right... Susan Bones" I said and Amelia was completely shocked and pale as publicly no one knew Susan's name. Only some of her niece's friends of her niece's age knew what her niece's name was.
"So what are you?? A new Dark Lord? Or some Death Eater who wants revenge for his master?" Amelia Bones finally gathered all her wits back and fired off several questions trying to get out as much information she could from me.
I just kept looking at until I burst out laughing. Only after a few seconds I finally calmed down and looked back at her. Shaklebolt was still trying to get out of the wrapped iron sand but Amelia Bones had given up doing that long ago... smart girl.
"I ain't a Dark Lord... if I was a Dark Lord I would have killed all the Weasleys and I am also not someone from Light Side. I am Grey through and through... and for being a Death Eater, as I would ever work for that No Nose pathetic bastard with daddy issues" I said and leaned back in Amelia's chair. Well, I guess that this impromptu meeting has gone long enough and threw Sirius Black's file on the table and let go of Amelia's hands.
"Take a look at that file and tell me what's wrong" I said leaning on the table. Amelia grunted rubbing her wrists and picked up the file and looked at me.
"The mass murderer Sirius Black?" Amelia Bones read the name on the file and raised her eyebrow looking at me...
