Dromund Kaas, projects and Wizengamot
04/07/1992
Kaas City, Dromund Kaas,
Imperial palace,
Harry was pensively watching the machine in front of him. He came back on Dromund Kaas on 02/07/1992 to set up his plans. He thought back to the last events that preceded his coming.
After the upheaval following the Philosopher's Stone affair, an article was published in The Daily Prophet by the very caustic and sarcastic Rita Skeeter that Harry enjoyed so much. He had to admit that this woman was very good at distorting the truth and exaggerating facts while influencing public opinion. He remembered the article that had stirred up the British Magical World.
THE DAILY PROPHET
From Headmaster to Professor, the fall of the Great Dumbledore!
By Rita Skeeter, extraordinary reporter
It's official, Hogwarts is no longer led by Albus Dumbledore. It is no secret that Albus Dumbledore has recently experienced an unprecedented political fall in the Magical World. It all started in December of last year when Duke Harold Tenebrae Peverell of Zakuul claimed his seats by right. To our shock, he inherited the seats of the ducal Peverell family, but also the seats of the Counties of Gryffindor and Slytherin, thus granting him 25% of the seats of the Wizengamot. He then joined the Supremacists who obtained 47% of the total seats while knowing that 10% of the seats are still inactive (the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw Houses being without apparent heirs). Thus, the party now led by Lord Peverell of Zakuul now owns more than 50% of the active votes in the Wizengamot, granting them an absolute majority.
This is how Albus Dumbledore lost his office as President of the Wizengamot but also the one with the International Confederation of Wizards, losing de facto the title of Supreme Mugwump. A blow to this old fool disillusioned with distressing motley clothes. But the recent fall of Dumbledore does not stop there!
I have learned from a reliable source that he has recently been removed from his position as Hogwarts Headmaster following events that have been concealed for the time being. This dismissal was not made by the Hogwarts Board of Governors, but the Duke Peverell of Zakuul, current owner of the Hogwarts grounds (belonging to Peverell) and lord of the castle (title attributed to the Hogwarts Founders by contract with the Peverell family). However, Dumbledore was able to retain a faculty position awaiting his life tenure, the last one.
I do not know about you, but I cannot wait to see the changes at Hogwarts.
Note that these changes will be announced in the Wizengamot on 01/08/1992 by Duke Peverell.
As a result of this article, Harry had received an incredible number of letters (Howlers being filtered) demanding to know the reasons for the dismissal of Dumbledore (whom he ignored royally), but also several candidates for the various posts of Hogwarts (Dumbledore had, it seems, rejected an incredible number of applications with excellent qualifications to favour his own).
In any case, and after this debacle, Harry had decided to analyse the Philosopher's Stone before returning to Dromund Kaas to try to recreate a body for his ancestor. But he did not expect the discovery he made as to the origin of this red stone.
The Philosopher's Stone had a blood-red colour for a good reason, and after probing it through the Force, he realized that the Flamel were not as light as they claimed. The Philosopher's Stone was created through an alchemical sith process adapted to wizards, all using human sacrifices. Yes, the Stone was created by a very important human sacrifice, Harry believed that it took at least 1,000 sacrifices to create this fabulous stone.
This is how he went on 02/07/1992 to France to find the Flamel family. Confronting the French, he discovered that the Flamel were practitioners of the Sith dogma following the discovery of ancient texts in the north of France on Sith alchemical bases to extend life. Harry then suggested to Flamels to come with him on Dromund Kaas, which they eagerly accepted.
The same day, he left for the Sith planet accompanied by The Flamels. And that's how he found himself before these machines he watched with interest.
The machines in question were those that kept Tenebrae's body alive. Harry looked at the body before redirecting his attention to Nicholas Flamel next to him.
"What's happening?" Asked Harry, intrigued by the process.
The old man looked at him with a small smile.
"We are going to inject the elixir of life into his body in order to reinforce it to the maximum. Given the incredible power of Lord Valkorion, I estimated at two years the strengthening of the body before it is fit to be possessed. "replied Nicolas.
Harry frowned at this answer as Valkorion's ghost appeared.
"Why so long?" Asked Valkorion.
Nicolas jumped slightly before looking at the ghost.
"This body is not fit for magic, and despite the sith origin of the Philosopher's Stone, it is primarily magical, just like its elixir. To avoid a magical backlash from the body following a chemical reaction we have to adapt the body to the elixir through a progressive injection, hence the duration of the process. ", replied the old man.
"Would not it be easier to create a new body with the Philosopher's Stone?" Asked Harry.
"Indeed, it would be much simpler to recreate a body, however, everything proves that a magical core would conflict with Lord Valkorion's Force, quickly destroying the body. His original body being already adapted to his presence, no rejection shall happen. "answered Nicolas again, shaking his head.
"Lack patience and can wait," Valkorion said simply before disappearing again to do something.
Harry, for his part, looked at the body one last time before sighing. He had a lot to do, and his grandfather was not going to be able to help him for the next two years. Leaving the room, he headed for the balcony overlooking the city on which 2V-R8 was waiting for him. He had sent the droid to retrieve the data as to the progress of the work.
Once on the balcony, Harry took the opportunity to observe the city. In just one year, many changes had been made. The city was no longer a prey to vegetation, the streets were now cleaned and the buildings free of the roots that once roamed the walls.
The few destroyed buildings had been rebuilt while the carcasses of Sith and Republican ships littering the city had been recycled to repair damaged buildings and make more droids. In short, the city of Kaas City had recovered its former splendour even though it was empty of life.
"Report, droid," Harry asked as he continued to watch the city.
2V-R8 approached him while continuing to shake. (According to Valkorion, the droid had a manufacturing defect making it fearful, unless it was a will of the Sith who liked to be feared)
"Master, repairs of the city are being completed. According to the report prepared by CX-265-1, repair droid 1 st generation which you ordered the repair of the city, the manufacturing plant droids reached its maximum yield with a daily production of 3,000 droids.
The numbers to date are 1,014,000 droids including 700,000 repair droids, 150,000 protocol droids and 164,000 battle droids.
Several creatures from the surrounding forests resided in the Kaas City precinct before being exterminated according to your instructions to avoid any degradation of the site. Following the completed repairs, the reconstruction of the outposts was started through Dromund Kaas as well as the various seats of former Sith family.
Finally, some of the droids have begun the advancement of pre-existing works concerning the extension of Kaas City, work abandoned since the previous Empire. ", summarized the protocol droid.
Harry nodded. The work was progressing faster than expected, which was a definite advantage.
"What about the space yard?" Asked Harry, thinking.
"The space shipyard was not damaged in the war although it was totally empty as the ships were destroyed. The computers have the previous patterns of the Second Empire that are the Harrower-Class Dreadnoughts, the Fury Class Interceptors and Starfighters. We also have the patterns of spatial construction ships, cargo ships, orbital space stations and transport shuttles dating back to the Second Empire.
For the moment, no construction has been started, "replied the droid.
Harry's eyes widened with joy as he heard the news.
"What are the time estimates for crafting the ships?" Asked Harry.
"According to my estimates, master, it would take us six months to build a Dreadnought, three months for an Interceptor and only two days to build a starfighter, as for the space station, the drawings specify that its construction can be achieved only in the space, thus requiring construction ships that require three months to manufacture. If we have the necessary spaceships, it will take five months to build a station.
Surprisingly, it would only take us a month to build a cargo ship, probably due to the fact that it is mostly empty to allow the transport of goods. "replied the droid.
Harry frowned at the news.
"Do we have the equipment to manufacture?" He asked.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the droid's shaking.
"Master, I regret to inform you that we do not have the necessary equipment to manufacture certain parts of the ships, the resources have been used to rebuild the city, but we do have some mines of Desh, Aluminum, Silica and Laminoide. Not to mention the many mining operations present on the moons of Dromund Kalakar and the planet Dromund Fels.
We could build cargo and transport vessels to establish mining colonies to make the most of the Dromund system resources. According to my estimations it would only take a few days to mine the materials needed to build a cargo ship. Then, a month will be necessary for the manufacture of the cargo ship before being able to start the installation of the mining centres on moon Kalakar six which is the richest in raw materials. A mining centre would take two months to build, and then we can start extracting resources.
Once the extraction has begun and the routing has been completed, we will be able to start a shipbuilding process as well as a space station to facilitate the transportation of resources according to the mining scheme of the Second Empire.
Should I order this plan to be put in place, master? "Asked the droid after his long explanation.
"Do so, 2V-R8, I'm going back to Earth, and I hope that when I get back, a space station will orbit the planet, as I do not have the human resources to operate Dreadnoughts and other warships, I want first and foremost the reestablishment of mining colonies of the Dromund system and the reconstruction of the colonies of Sector Esstran with systems Horuset, Bosthirda, Begeren and Loro Babis as a priority.
These systems may still have functioning buildings and factories, and I want everything repaired for immediate use, "Harry ordered before returning inside.
"Yes, master," replied 2V-R8 before leaving the scene at full speed.
Back inside, Harry returned to see the Flamel couple who were in front of one of the city's archives, trying to understand the language.
"Nicholas, Perenelle, I'm going back to Earth to take care of Hogwarts and continue taking power, 2V-R8 will assign you protocol droids to teach you our language and give you the opportunity to learn more about our history.
Expecting your alchemical abilities, I recommend that you take a look at the advanced medical procedures and alchemical records I unlocked for you, "Harry exclaimed.
"Thank you, Prince Hadrian, and Perenelle and I will try not to disappoint you and keep you up-to-date on the evolution of the Tenebrae project," Nicholas replied with a smile.
Harry merely nodded before returning to Earth, leaving 2V-R8 behind him, Vorak and HK-55 remaining on Earth.
01/08/1992
Chamber of the Wizengamot, Ministry of Magic ,
The members of the Wizengamot entered the chamber to take their places, betraying a certain impatience. Today, Lord Peverell of Zakuul would announce his plans for Hogwarts to this august body, journalists and citizens present on public balconies.
Some members of the Supremacists smiled when they saw a disillusioned Albus Dumbledore sit among the Progressives. Since his political fall, the old man had been in a bad mood, to the delight of the Purebloods.
After a few minutes Harry got up behind the President's podium.
"My dear colleagues, let me welcome you to this 10 926 th meeting of the Wizengamot since its founding in 1066. As the tradition wants, I urge those wishing to claim their seats to do so." Harry began with a strong voice.
After two minutes of silence, Harry nodded.
"Now that it's done, it is time for us to address the issues on the agenda, but first and foremost, and respecting my promise made, I must discuss with you the subject of Hogwarts and its future.” Harry continued looking at his peers.
Several members whispered while others focused their attention on Harry.
"Following a reform of the Hogwarts educational system, I am pleased to announce that the beginning of September this year will be accompanied by several changes that will benefit our children and the education of future generations.
First, I am pleased to inform you that after consulting the candidatures, the Professor Filius Flitwick was appointed as the new Headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He shall be replaced by Professor Albus Dumbledore as Professor of Charms and Batsheda Babbling as Head of the Ravenclaw House. Regarding Professor Albus Dumbledore, the latter will also teach alchemy courses for the sixth and seventh years, without the need for a number of students.
Changes have been made to existing positions. Professor Cuthbert Binns was fired to be replaced by Grinragg Goldstory as a history teacher, directly from Gringotts. Potions Professor Severus Snape will now teach only NEWTs students and be appointed as Hogwarts Potion Master to develop new potions. He will be replaced by Professor Horace Slughorn for the other years.
Finally, the Defence Against the Dark Arts course was renamed as the Magical Defence Course, ending the so-called curse.
In addition, new courses have been introduced in the curriculum to diversify opportunities and promote the magical culture. Thus, the Course of Studies of the Magical World, its habits and customs has been set up to teach students our values and traditions. It will be taught by the Lord Lucius Malfoy and will be mandatory from 1 st to 3 rd year before becoming optional.
The Ancient Magic course has also been set up to teach students about Blood Magic, Ritual Magic and Druid Magic. He will be available as an elective from the third year and will be taught by Lord Rhadagast Lestrange.
In addition, an Offensive Magic Course will be organized and led by myself. It will be compulsory from the 3 rd year until term. It will aim to teach the different facets of magic, be it Light, Neutral or Dark Arts as well as duels. I will be supported by Headmaster Flitwick, renowned duellist.
Finally, a compulsory fencing course has been set up and will be taught by Nogrod Rixeclaw, goblin champion. This course will teach students the art of the sword. I recall that this course was cancelled in 1901 by the then Headmaster, Basil Fronsac, who considered it barbarian and preferred reading, " Harry explained with a small smile.
Immediately afterwards, Progressive members stood up, shouting with indignation, mainly about the two Goblins and the Offensive Magic Course. For his part, Cornelius Fudge reddened with anger.
"You cannot! The Ministry of Magic has banned the practice of rituals and Dark Magic," cried the Minister of Magic.
He did not see Lucius Malfoy sigh in spite. What a fool, thought Lord Malfoy.
Harry darted Cornelius with a look so cold that the man instantly sat down in his seat.
"Minister Fudge, should I remind you that Hogwarts is a sovereign territory not subject to the regulation of the Ministry of Magic, and this according to the constitution at the origin of the Ministry of Magic? And must I remind you that any offense will be considered a crime worthy of the death penalty, not to mention the immediate invalidity of the Ministry of Magic? ", Harry replied.
At the words of the latter, a silence fell on the hemicycle. Harry decided to keep going.
"I remember, moreover, that the Wizengamot is the highest decision-making body of the Ministry of Magic, and de facto its laws are imposed on the officials of this Ministry, so I remind you that the laws promulgated by the Ministry of magic to ban Dark Magic, Blood Magic, and ritual practice have been overturned by the Wizengamot, and if you cannot remember these facts, then maybe you do not have your place as Minister. "Harry continued, darting the now pale man with a glare.
The Suprematists immediately understood Harry's veiled message. Without losing a moment, Augustus Flint stood up.
"I propose a vote of No Confidence of the Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge and his immediate dismissal," says Lord Flint.
"I second this proposal," said Varius Nott, rising in his turn.
Harry nodded.
"This proposal is accepted, we will immediately vote on the dismissal of the Minister for Magic, that those voting FOR the dismissal will raise their wands," exclaimed Harry while raising his.
Immediately after, all the Suprematists and half of the Traditionalists raised their wands. Only three Progressives followed them.
"The motion is accepted with 73% of the votes, and I officially declare the immediate dismissal of Cornelius Fudge from the post of Minister for Magic. New elections will be held as soon as possible.
Let each party declare its candidates for the job, "Harry asked, slamming his hammer.
Albus stood up with a smile.
"We nominate James Potter as Minister for Magic," the old man said with a small smile.
He had hoped to use the Survivor's reputation to win votes from the people.
"We nominate Amelia Bones as Minister for Magic," Augusta Longbottom exclaimed as she stood up.
Harry arched an eyebrow at the appointment. Amelia Bones was an excellent candidate for this position. Finally, Harry smiled as he nodded at Lucius. The blond smiled before getting up, the members of the Magenmagot waiting impatiently for the appointment of the Suprematists . For his part, Albus frowned as he noticed that Lucius was going to make the appointment, not Harry. He widened his eyes, understanding.
"We nominate Hadrian Peverell from Zakuul as Minister for Magic," exclaimed Lucius Malfoy.
The shock then fits on the faces of the members present.
"Other nominations?" Asked Harry.
After a few minutes of silence, Harry hit his hammer.
"The candidates will have three months to campaign and prepare their speeches. The vote will take place on the first of October 1992 at 9:00 am in the House of Wizengamot. As tradition dictates, the vote will be carried out democratically by the people totalling 50% of the votes while the Wizengamot will represent the other half of the votes, and I declare this session of the Wizengamot closed! ", Harry ordered, tapping one last time with his hammer.
Following this session, a hubbub took hold of the scene as Harry left the chamber to join his mansion to hold a meeting of the Suprematists for the next day.
He was not, of course, surprised by one of the Daily Prophets a few hours later.

By Rita Skeeter, Extraordinary Journalist,
This is interesting news that we are learning today. Following the 10,926th meeting of the Wizengamot, a motion of censure was issued by Lord Augustus Flint against the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. After voting the Wizengamot, the latter was removed from his post, paving the way for new elections.
Cornelius Fudge was dismissed following the questioning of the Wizengamot and his lack of knowledge about the Constitution of the Ministry of Magic. I do not know about you, my dear readers, but I am delighted to have no more ignorant in power.
Three candidates have been nominated for future elections. The first is Lord James Potter, father of our national hero. Former Auror, he is currently Professor of Magic Defence at Hogwarts School.
The second candidate is Dame Amelia Bones, current Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement following the dismissal of former Head Bartemius Crouch Senior after the scandal of his son as a deatheater.
The third candidate is Duke Hadrian Peverell of Zakuul, President of Wizengamot and British representative at ICW. Also current owner of Hogwarts, and at the origin of the integration and granting of citizenship to the magical races, his decisions have revolutionized the British Magical World as a whole.
I do not know about you, but I intend to vote for him!
Of course, it was followed by another interesting article.

By Rita Skeeter, Extraordinary Journalist,
It was during the Wizengamot Reunion that Zakuul's Duke Peverell revealed to the general public the changes made at Hogwarts.
The new director of this establishment is none other than Filius Flitwick, a famous half-goblin citizen as international champion of duels , and Master in Charms.
No longer able to hold Charms classes, he will be replaced by Professor Albus Dumbledore (who will also teach Alchemy) while Ancient Runes Professor Batsheda Babbling will replace him as head of the Ravenclaw House.
Other teachers will emerge as Grinragg Goldstory (replacing Professor of History of Magic Cuthbert Binns) and Horace Slughorn (replacing Professor Severus Snape Potion for 1 st to the 5 th year).
Finally, courses have been added like Course of Studies of the wizarding world, its habits and customs taught by Lord Lucius Malfoy, the courses Ancient Magic taught by Lord Rhadagast Lestrange and Fencing taught by Nogrod Rixeclaw.
Finally, an Offensive Magic Course has been introduced and will be taught directly by Duke Peverell of Zakuul. This course will also serve as a dueling club.
We sincerely hope that these changes will bring new life to Hogwarts.
