BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85 - Allies (II)
A/N: I did a vote last time about if I should pair Bonesy and Padfoot. The result won by a milestone with 'yes'. So, there is going to be pairing between Bonesy and Padfoot.
Now, let's start with the chapter...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes, she gave the prophecy in front of Old Goat, and he immediately knew that only two families fit the description... the Potters and the Longbottoms..." Magneto said and Amelia got a feeling that this was going to turn worst.
"So, Old Goat decided on his own that this prophecy should come to an end or No Nose can't be defeated after all a small newborn can't defeat a Dark Lord. So, he himself decided that No Nose should come to know of this prophecy at least the first part or No Nose might get scared and in fear of marking someone his equal decided not to attack any one of the newborns" Magneto kept speaking and Amelia just heard all this and was completely dumbfounded. She can't even imagine how could someone especially like Dumbledore do all this stuff. Even though she never had a blind trust on Dumbledore like others did but she thought Dumbledore to be a good person.
She already understood where Magneto was going with all these stuff he spoke about. "So, Dumbledore decided to leak the prophecy through Severus Snape, right?" Amelia asked. Her voice was really low, it was almost like a whisper but Magneto still clearly heard her because they were the only occupants of the room... kitchen actually.
Amelia was sure that Albus Dumbledore used Severus Snape, after all during the trials of Death Eaters Albus Dumbledore only came to the defense of Severus Snape claiming that Snape was his spy within the Death Eaters.
"Yes... Albus Dumbledore used Severus Snape to send the first part of the prophecy to No Nose, but he something happened what Albus didn't anticipate. Lily Potter used some blood sacrificial magic so that her son would be protected from No Nose" Magneto said and leaned back i n his chair. The things they have been talking about was pretty serious. So, Magneto decided to take a small break so Amelia could digest all the information he gave her. If Amelia didn't make an unbreakable vow then Magneto would have held some information back but the oath Amelia has taken didn't leave any loopholes for her to exploit.
"This was wrench in Dumbledore's plans so, he decided to do it another way. He decided to make him grow up in an unappreciated and abusive place so that he would grow up weak and negligent. Dumbledore could easily use this to mold Harry Potter to be a martyr, later he would use Harry's Death so he could rally up the support of Light and Grey families. But he still wants Harry to actually die so that the prophecy could be fulfilled and No Nose with daddy issues could finally be vanquished. He never believed that a kid or teenager could defeat No Nose" Magneto said and Amelia's expressions kept changing by each sentence Magneto spoke, Amelia didn't need to check the credibility about everything Magneto said because she thought the Magneto was bound by the oath but it's not like that Magneto or Itsuki Reo spoke any lies.
When she heard that the reason for the Death of Potters and Longbottoms she was completely enraged but when she finally came to learn that Albus Dumbledore knowingly placed Harry Potter a 1 yr old baby in an abusive household she was about to blow a gasket. By the each passing moment she kept hearing she kept becoming enraged but she knew that she had to hold herself back... at least for now.
"But he needed to take control over Harry and to do that he needed to get Harry's Godfather out of the way. So, Albus Dumbledore decided to use Peter Pettigrew to frame..." Magneto was speaking but was cut off by Amelia Bones. Magneto was slightly surprised to see Amelia's reaction but Amelia didn't notice that because of the mask.
"What... you mean that Sirius was innocent?" Amelia asked in a almost scared expression. Magneto was taken aback watching how Amelia reacted. He, never knew that Amelia would react like this. For now, Magneto was sure that there was something between Bonesy and Padfoot.
"Well yes... after all, Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper of the Potters and he was also a Death Eater and Dumbledore knew that. Old Goat was himself present when the Potters decided that Peter should be the Secret Keeper because Sirius Black was the obvious but I wonder what is your connection with Sirius Black... no matter what I spoke about you didn't have a reaction like that" Magneto said and looked intently at Amelia.
Amelia also didn't budge and kept staring Magneto straight in his eyes or his glowing blue eyes where Magneto's eyes should have been. After, a few seconds passed when both Magneto and Amelia Bones continued the stare down but finally Amelia Bones gave up and sighed.
"Hah... I was Sirius Black's betrothed though even weren't so close... hell we didn't speak with each other more than 5 times but I was pretty sure that I was going to marry him so I had started to think of him as my unmarried husband. Everything changed when Sirius Black decided to run away, even though his mother burned off Sirius's name from the tapestry she wasn't able to get Sirius get kicked out of the family..." Amelia said and she had a longing look in her eyes.
After that both Magneto and Amelia Bones kept talking and they finally decided to become allies like Magneto had thought that Amelia would be after she learnt the whole truth. For this they didn't need to make an oath or unbreakable vow, they just decided to trust each other. Finally, Magneto decided to leave Amelia's Bones house and head towards another family he needed to visit for today.
He needed to visit Tonks household, Reo actually didn't need anything particular from them except that he wanted to visit them. No matter what Reo himself said, he was having too much fun acting like a villain and scaring the shit out of everyone. From him, the moment he saw Amelia Bones entered Susan Bones's room was golden for him. Even though he was looking away but he had a mirror pointed towards the door who no one noticed.
Magneto finally arrived right in front of a simple looking two-story house. It was a muggle house so every magical person should ignore the house but the presence of wards in the house were a dead giveaway. Magneto pointed his hand towards the house and set up his current favorite set of wards. The anti-apparation, anti-portkey, and several other wards that would render the floo useless. The house was already silent so Magneto didn't thought much of that and walked up to the front door and knocked.
After waiting for 30 seconds there was no answer, so Magneto knocked again. Magneto maybe a murderer or killer but he was a gentleman, he won't enter anyone's house like that... well, Amelia Bones was an exception because Magneto found it too much fun to tease her.
Magneto knocked the door for the third time but there was still no answer. He could already feel two life signs hiding behind a couch or something similar to that so that they could surprise the intruder. Magneto sighed because even though he wanted to be polite it was not working so he had to enter the house on his own. Magneto used his powers to get the door opened... it was an easy job. He could have used Alohomora but it didn't gave the same feeling like using his own powers did. Magneto didn't have enough time for now to check all his powers after the Death Stick was absorbed by him, so he still wanted to keep that part as a secret.
Magneto pushed opened the door and entered casually, and walked towards the two life signs he was feeling. He walked up to the couch but still there were no flying spells or anything.
"Hello... would you mind coming out, it's a disgusting hiding place. Do they teach this in Hogwarts to hide behind a couch if someone breaks into your house... and sorry for breaking into your house, I knocked on the door several times but none of you answered so I decided to to welcome myself in" Magneto said and sat down on a chair opposite to the couch. After all, Magneto had all the time he needed for now. After sometime one witch and wizard walked out from behind the couch. If Nemuri was here in place of Magneto she would have definitely called out quickie behind the couch.
According to Magneto the books didn't do any justice to how similar Andromeda Tonks was to Bellatrix Lestrange. Andromeda Tonks just looked like a few years younger version of Bellatrix Lestrange.
"How... you look really similar to your sister... but no worries, after all I painted her on the wall of her cell" Magneto said in an happy voice. Hearing the first part Andromeda looked revolted that Magneto would compare her to Bellatrix but when Magneto finally finished what he was saying both Andromeda and Ted Tonks had a horrified look on their face. Though Andromeda's face was a mixture of joyous and horrified expression... Magneto really wanted to know how she did that... maybe he would ask later.
"Why are you here? Are you here to kill me and my wife?" Ted Tonks finally spoke up.
"Um... no. If i wanted to kill you then I wouldn't have greeted you and killed you first hand. I am not a kind of person who keeps speaking bullshit like a typical villain" Magneto said and leaned back on the chair.
"So, do you want to join my merry band?" Magneto asked in an happy and cherry voice that scared the shit out of both Andromeda and Ted Tonks...
