Ivy began going over the paperwork on her desk regarding everything for the 1995-1996 school year at Hogwarts. She had just become the owner of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approximately two months ago by signing some documents at Gringotts. Ivy thought it funny that she and her brother, Zach, used to chase the world famous thief, Carmen Sandiego through castles in Europe. Now, Ivy owned one. Zach would certainly be surprised. Her signature was required for routine items such as budget considerations, teacher pay, etc. Ivy smirked, she was enjoying herself immensely. For her, restructuring school budgets was a way to relax. Ivy has some interesting hobbies.
A sheet did grab Ivy’s attention, though. It looked ordinary enough. It was the information that intrigued her. The sheet mentioned how a new Defense Against the Dark Arts was appointee to Hogwarts, as well as this new teacher being something called a High Inquisitor. Ivy thought back to how she had ending up killing several Aztecs and Spanish soldiers in the year 1520. That was certainly an experience. Time travel definitely gives one an interesting view on life.
Ivy groaned slightly and rose from her chair. She walked over to her bar and fixed herself a drink. Ivy felt that she would need it today. She went and grabbed a Gurkha HMR cigar. She was already wearing a version of her armor over her clothes. Ivy opened the C5 corridor and walked through from her office at Beauxbatons to the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Ivy could hear a woman speaking. Something about the prohibition of pruning trees? Ivy really should get her hearing checked.
Ivy looked around the Great Hall. The visor over her eyes was giving vital signs for every living being in the hall. A redheaded boy had evidence of dying of heart failure and/or clogged arteries. According to Ivy’s visor, it was a toss up. Next to the redheaded boy was a boy that had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. His vital signs and reports streaming into Ivy’s visor angered her. She really hated child abusers. Ivy walked over to the boy and handed him a piece of paper. The boy and a bushy haired girl who was holding his hand disappeared. Ivy thought that he looked familiar. She thought she recalled seeing him at the TWT the previous year.
A woman dressed in pink approached Ivy and cleared her throat to get Ivy’s attention. Ivy looked down at the woman and regarded her curiously. Ivy shook her head slightly “Are you the woman who claims to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for this year?” The woman looked at Ivy with scorn “I am Delores Umbridge. I was appointed to this position by the Minister of Magic. I don’t see what concern of yours it is.” Ivy looked away for a moment to gather her thoughts. The Minister of Magic appointed this woman? Why would he.... Ivy reached out and grabbed the woman by the throat.
The students of Hogwarts were shocked to see this. Ivy paid them no mind, and brought Umbridge up to her eye level “Now. We will discuss why Cornelius Fudge sought to usurp power granted only to the Headmaster by the owner, who is now me. Shall we?” Ivy carried Umbridge to a room that could be accessed by a door near the front of the hall. The students heard a hair raising scream of pure anger. Ivy stalked back into the Great Hall. An unconscious Umbridge was being carried by a tall metallic looking... thing. Ivy could be heard issuing orders.
The thing piped up “Query: Mistress. There is also one of those Death Eaters in this room, along with a dark wizard masquerading as a light one. May I have the pleasure of exterminating the meatbags?” Ivy looked at the thing “HK. You have my permission to do a complete overhaul of the British magical world. Just make sure that you give a complete report to the Queen when you’re finished. I’m sure that She will want to know about the changes that we are making.” Ivy looked around the room tiredly. She then walked along the staff table and approached a pleasant looking woman in the magical equivalent of a gardening outfit. Ivy smiled “Pomona, do you think that you could take over as Headmistress? Filius is now Deputy Headmaster.” The little man next to Pomona squeaked in surprise and fell off his chair.
HK walked over and helped the man back into his chair. The murder bot dropped the three unconscious bodies in the middle of the hall in order to do so. Ivy smiled “Well, Pomona? I am not making this offer lightly. I think that you’d make a perfectly perfect Headmistress. You don’t have to worry about giving up your positions head of house. All the huge things like budgets, pay, and hiring for positions are something that I will start handling as owner of Hogwarts. Believe it or not, I enjoy this sort of thing. Your job as Headmistress would entail making sure that the academic side of Hogwarts is running smoothly. You will still have all the time in the world with your greenhouses and helping your own house. What do you think?”
Pomona thought over Ivy’s offer. She decided to accept. Pomona smiled at Ivy “I accept your offer, Ivy.” Ivy positively beamed with happiness “This is wonderful! Thank you!” Ivy hugged the woman and activated the C5 corridor. She had a patient or two to check up on. Ivy emerged from the C5 and looked at two teenagers, who she now knew to be Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Harry was sleeping in a bed and Hermione was snuggling close to him, she looked to be holding on to him for dear life. Ivy quietly walked over to a console and pressed a few buttons. The medbay quietly expanded to accommodate the beds, which were now growing bigger in size. Ivy walked out of the medbay and back to her office. She saw Harry and Hermione snuggle closer to each other. Ivy passed a large black dog that was trotting along the hallway towards the medbay. She winked at him and continued on her way.
