Chapter 1
Lady Amelia Bones, the last adult member of the Bones family was sitting next to Lord Charles Greengrass, who held a board expression on his face. Amelia surveyed the room and spotted the Minister of International Magical Cooperation, Hector Podmore watching the trial with a tired face.
Bartemius Crouch slammed a gavel on the wooden table in front of him as he yelled," Now the questioning of Igor Karkaroff."
Karkaroff was escorted in by three Aurors and dragged to the chair in front of the Wizengamot.
" Igor Karkaroff, you have been brought from Azkaban by your own request. What do you wish to present?" Crouch said.
Karkaroff muttered," There was a Rosier."
" Mr Rosier is dead."
" What about Rookwood?"
Crouch leaned forward as he asked," Augustus Rookwood?"
" He passed information to the Dark Lord from inside the Ministry itself."
" The Council will deliberate. Do you have anything else?"
" Snape. Severus Snape."
Albus Dumbledore rose and announced," As the Council knows Severus Snape was a Death Eater turned spy for us. Today, he is no more a Death Eater than I was."
Crouch nodded and sighed," Anything else?"
" The Dark Lord heard a prophecy from a Muggle-Born seer he tortured. It foretold the coming of a King of Magic who would save Pureblood society."
The entire room fell silent as Minister Bagnold rose unsteadily and murmured," This Council is concluded. Mr Karkaroff will be set free."
Hector quickly made his escape to wait for Amelia in the corridor outside where other members of the Wizengamot were stood discussing the questioning.
Septimus Weasley came trotting up to the Minister and said," Hector, is it coming true?"
"Yes, it is." Hector replied.
Amelia rushed up to the two and gasped out," Lord Black knows who the King is."
" What?!" Septimus exclaimed.
Amelia didn't say anything but dragged the other two of towards a empty office room where Lord Arcturus Black III was sitting in. As the three entered Arcturus gestured for them to sit down as he said," You must wonder what I know." Without waiting for a answer he continued," The Blacks have always known that a King if Magic would come and I know who the king is. He is-"
Hector flew to the ground as a gold light hit Lord Black right in the heart, Aurors came rushing into the room and began searching it.
Amelia looked at Septimus Weasley who was lying on the floor with his eyes rolled up into his head, she looked at the Aurors and yelled," Lock down the Ministry and send for a Healer for Lord Black."
Crouch was running down the corridor with his wand out as the Aurors came out of the office and the Aurors began to rush to their boss but were pushed back by a blue force field.
A man wearing black robes and mask was firing spells at the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Crouch was firing back ruthlessly.
Amelia sighed," Damm it!"
