While Harry Potter was currently tearing into his professors verbally, no one noticed a young redheaded woman casually walk into the trophy room and lean against the wall.
What did gain the group’s attention was an ominous sound, the metallic clank of what sounded like marching feet. Albus Dumbledore began to sweat profusely. He recognized that sound.
The young woman smiled as the... thing walked into the room “HK, did your hunt go well?” The robot turned to regard the young woman “Glad statement: The hunt went extremely well, Mistress. The Death Eater known as Pettigrew awaits his fate, whatsoever you choose. I did get lucky enough to discover a meeting of these Death Eater meat bags in London. They were all masquerading as responsible citizens and politicians for some reason. They were no match for my superior technology.”
The robot almost appeared smug “Mistress Ivy, I have some Truth Serum with me at the moment. We can test the young Meat Bag’s story here and now.”
HK handed a vial of Truth Serum to Ivy. She calmly handed it to Amelia Bones, whom HK oh so thoughtfully asked to accompany him (read Shanghaied) to Hogwarts.
Amelia confirmed that the serum was indeed genuine and went to administer it to one Harry Potter, when it was “accidentally” knocked out of Amelia’s hand by one Severus Snape.
One gleeful homicide by murder bot later, a dose of truth serum was finally administered to Harry Potter, over the extremely vocal opposition of one Albus Dumbledore.
Another gleeful homicide by murder bot later, the truth of the matter of the Tri Wizard Champion selection was revealed, along with some other interesting things through certain questions from Ivy Renaldi.
Let’s just say that Amelia Bones had a heavier plate than usual after that night.
Harry Potter was able to go back to his best friend, one Hermione Granger, who was very happy that her best friend would not be forced into risking life and limb that year. They did that enough through sheer curiosity!
