Second Year (I) & Conspiracies…

[POV Nemuri(Vicky)]

"No! And that's final! I have seen what you did when you had full control of the wards and I am not going to let that repeat, again. You will get the partial control of the wards like every Head of House would" I was saying when Dumbles roared in anger and cut me off. Everyone present in the room except me flinched due to the anger radiating from Dumb-as-a-door and he also started to release his magical power.

My eyes turned immediately cold, so Ol Twinkles want to play the game like this. Fine, I also started to release my magical power which easily suppressed Fumbledork's magical power. Bumbledore was taken aback, along with everyone present in the room.

"You will do as I say or I will throw you out as I did to your pet Death Eater and don't try to compete me in strength. You might know more spells than me but you will lose in sheer raw power" I said coldly said to Dumbledork who didn't show any outward reaction and kept looking at me with a calculative look. I already had my wand in my hands after all I won't let him attack me, and even if he does I want to be ready. A few seconds of silence passed but nobody said anything, I finally stopped releasing my magical power and decided to break the silence.

"Now as I was saying, I want weekly reports from all Head of the Houses. I don't want this school to go back to its previous state and bullies should be given harsh punishments" I said and looked around. Except for Dumbles, everyone nodded their heads.

"Good! Now, I gotta go, after all, I have several establishments to handle" I said waving at the Professors and I slowly left the room. Heh... if Dumbles believed even for a moment that I would have handed him full control over the wards then he must have been dreaming. I handed him control over some wards but now he won't be able to spy through ghosts and the portraits. He also won't be able to order the House Elves to do anything outside of their duties. Now, all the Head of the Houses and Dumbles would be notified if someone casts any kind of lethal spells.

Now, I know Dumbles could force the Head of the Houses to do his bidding but that won't work as I am sure that Horace and Flitwick won't listen to Dumbles and from what I have seen last year Old Minnie Gi also won't listen to him. She was really hurt when the article about Harry came out and for months Minnie kept glaring at Ol Twinkles.

Now, even if he forces the Head of the Houses to listen to him, he can't do that because Reo and my sister wives will give me a report. They could spy through the portraits and ghosts. They would also know when someone casts a lethal spell with whole Hogwarts, so, if Dumbles forces the others not to take any action then I can put my foot down when I receive the weekly reports. Well, whatever, now that I am free, I am gonna finish my porn collection... hehe...

[IN HEADMASTER'S OFFICE]

Albus released a disappointed sigh. "I cannot tell you all how much disappointed I am in young Vicky... why won't she see reason?" Albus asked in his disappointed grandfatherly tone while shaking his head.

"And what reason it might be Albus?" Minerva asked with a stern face. She wasn't happy with Albus. Her hero-worship is now completely gone and now she sees Albus for what he is. Flitwick and Pamona were also interested to hear Albus's reason. Horace looked really uninterested as he had some idea how Albus liked to play this game, Horace knew Albus nice each other for several decades.

"Ah... I am trying to teach Vicky that she must learn to forgive or we might push the students too far... they might seek out the dark side" Albus said in a regretful tone. Seeing that no one said anything, Albus thought his plan working so he decided to continue.

"Young Vicky... she holds too much power at a young age and I assume you all know that power corrupts absolutely... hah... not able to forgive is the first sign that you are going dark" Albus said in a sad and solemn tone. But inside Albus was really happy, he was sure that this was working as this method had never failed him before. After all, he is the Greatest Wizard alive, he is Albus Dumbledore. If he says someone is going dark then he or she is.

But alas, this wasn't Albus's time. Albus's hopes were shattered when the two of four Head of the Houses burst out laughing.

"Yes, sure Albus, when anyone doesn't listen to you then they must be going dark, right? Then, I am also going dark as I completely agree with Vicky Ravenclaw, bullies must be punished harshly" Minerva said after she finished laughing. After that, she walked out of the room.

Albus was stunned silent, he knew that Minerva was angry with him because of Harry and she blamed herself. But Albus was sure that like always Minerva would see the reason behind his actions.

"Yeah... yeah... Albus, I know how you work. I am completely familiar with your methods, after all, I have known you the longest" Horace was the second person to laugh at Albus. He finally got up shaking his head and walked out of the room.

"Ah... Albus, no matter how much I give it a thought I am unable to find you are right. I completely despise bullies and I completely agree with Lady Ravenclaw's views and methods" Filius said and left the room, he didn't laugh out like Minerva and Horace but he completely agreed with Lady Ravenclaw, Minerva, and Horace. He believed that bullies must be dealt with an Iron Fist.

"Ah... Professor, I would be leaving too" Pamona didn't know what to say, she decided to leave the room quickly. She also followed Filius and left the room.

Albus was the only one left in the room, he sat there completely stunned and shocked. He couldn't even believe how quickly he was starting to lose trust and this won't do, Albus knew that he might be powerful but without his blind supporters, he was just a strong wizard. Strong but alone and only being strong didn't matter much in these situations.

This won't do... Albus needed to do something to gain back the trust he had lost or how would he be able to lead Harry to his destiny. He was the only one who could defeat Tom, and lead Magical Britain to greatness... what he was doing was for the Greater Good... why does everything have to be so hard and not listen to his great wisdom?

Albus looked at his old friend, Fawkes. Fawkes trilled trying to cheer up Albus but unfortunately, it wasn't working. Now, it was a misconception that Phoenixes were light creatures... apparently, they were not. They were like any other familiars you have to bond with them as you did with any other familiars. Albus knew about this and he knew how wrong everyone was but he didn't correct anything after all this was the method he used to become the Leader of Light.

Albus went deep into his thoughts trying to make plans how to bring Harry back and gain back his popularity. Suddenly an image of a fiery goblet appeared in his mind. A small and gentle smile appeared on his face.

While Albus was busy with his plans he didn't notice a portrait was watching him. If Albus had looked intently then he would have found that one portrait was not the original and have been changed with something else. Alas, Albus didn't think to pay too much attention to it since all Portraits were completely useless to him now.

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

I finally separated the connection from the portrait. Yes, this portrait was placed by Nemuri during the holidays. With full control of the wards she Apparated directly into Ol Twinkles office and changed one of the oldest portraits with a copy but this portrait was slightly different.

When a meeting would transpire I would receive a notification on my phone and through magic, I would be able to connect with the portrait and see everything going in there. Yes, I went to sleep previously but Rumi woke me up when I received the notification.

In this world, no one except us had mobiles as of now and even if they did they didn't have notifications like iPhones and Androids. In, MHA world, Rumi wouldn't have bothered with a notification but in this world, it is quite important. So she woke me up, after seeing the notification I quickly connected with the portrait to spy on the meeting.

Yes, Dumbles could be thrown out but I need him here so that he can start the Tri-Wizard Tournament. After all, it is going to be a scandal and there is no one else who would allow the Tri-Wizard tournament to happen, and if the tournament doesn't happen then I would have no idea when Voldebaby would get his body and this would be a good chance to get rid of Moldeshorts too...

Heh... let's see what happens...
