HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 122 ]
🕑 Added 2024-10-09 11:20:37 +0000 UTC"What, what happened," Magnus asked as he sat still in his chair looking at Pettigrew in the other room.
"Rat's been obliviated, and they did a hack job at it," Moody answered as he stood up.
Andromeda sighed, "I've seen this a few times in my time at saint mungo's, idiots trying to forget things and have someone untrained in mind arts hit them with an obliviate.”
“Everything seems to go well at first until something reminds them of what they forgot and then the idiot is hit with mental trauma of having that memory forcibly erased from their minds."
Magnus frowned at that as he watched Amelia deactivate the runes and leave the room, "can the memories be restored?" he asked but Andromeda shook her head.
"No, Obliviate dose exactly as intended it obliterates any strand of the intended memory, but when done poorly by someone untrained in the mind arts the memories between the part that was erased are frayed and brittle, retaining connections to the full memory.”
“He likely remembers about becoming the secret keeper and who all was there but who ever cast the spell and the casting itself has been completely removed.”
“It's why most Mind healers recommend having the entire days worth of memories removed from start to finish so that there are no gaps or chances of frayed memories." She explained
Magnus looked down and scowled, he didn't know how or when but someone had gotten to Pettigrew and erased his memories, and now his chance to find out the truth has slipped past him.
Moody put his hand on Magnus's shoulder, "Don't look so down lad, that was some sharp thinking on your part, all this means is that you asked the right question, not your fault some bastard got to him first." He said trying to reassure the boy while his own mind was racing through various possibilities as to who could have erased the memory and why they would do so.
He wasn't fully aware of everything back in the last war, too dangerous that way, everything had been compartmentalised to keep secrets from leaking out.
He would have to try to look into this himself when he had the chance.
Magnus nodded but kept his eyes closed so as not to look at Pettigrew again as he got up and followed both Andromeda and Moody out of the room.
They were approaching Madam Bones office again to talk just as he started to get his anger back under control, but whatever progress he made shattered in an instant when he heard a very recognisable voice from inside Amelia's office.
"What's all this About Amelia, I was just informed that you barged into Hogwarts without leave to arrest some illegal Animagus!"
Fudge's pompous voice rose inside the office carrying out through the slightly open door.
Inside Amelia was sitting behind her desk looking pissed off as both Fudge and Madam Umbitch… excuse me Umbridge, stood at the other side of her desk, they had been waiting for her when she had gotten back from the interrogation.
"Minister, I do not know who informed you of this matter, but let me assure you that I did everything by the book, an auror presence was requested at hogwarts by a student and their guardian pertaining to this matter and I acted as discreetly and as promptly as was necessary." Amelia stated.
Fudge seemed to bluster at the explanation, "very well, and just who was this animagus, some student doing something he shouldn't be," he said brushing the matter off as if it was nothing.
"No, I have just gotten through questioning him, he is a full grown man, who has been posing as a family's pet for the past ten years, and his identity has been confirmed by the unspeakables, to be one peter Pettigrew." Amelia stated but before she could continue Fudge cut her off.
"Oh don't be ridiculous Amelia, Pettigrew is dead, Black killed him, everyone knows that," Fudge stated, completely ignoring her statement about the unspeakables having confirmed his identity.
On that note the door to the office opened and Mangnus stepped with red eyes and hair glaring at Fudge, "then everyone is clearly as big an idiot as you are!"
Fudge rounded on the new voice and looked down to see Magnus just as he began to register his words and began to bluster, "now see here young man, I don't know who you are but you can't speak to me like that, I am…" he began to berate Magnus only to be cut off in return.
"A Monkey in a cheap suit, not fit for the office you hold!" Magnus stated as he glared hard at him,
"Now see here!" Umbridge began to come to Fudge's defence only to be cut off by Magnus' ferocious glare.
"Shut your mouth you pink hypocritical toad, or I swear I'll shut it permanently!" Magnus snarled, his magic pouring into his voice making it boom like thunder.
Umbridge practically shrieked and leaped behind Fudge who was looking at Magnus in shock and fear from the sudden loud voice.
Magnus then turned his glare back onto Fudge, "You asked who I am, I am Magnus Roark Black, Heir to the Most Noble and Most Ancient house of Black, and you are the pompous ass who have been overlooking the fact that a member of my house never received his trial and was thrown into Azkaban on suspicion alone."
"I…" Fudge started to say but Magnus didn't give him a chance.
"Sirius Orion Black, is innocent of the crimes he is accused of, you would know that if you would just listen to your head of DLME instead of spouting off absolute rubbish!" Magnus roared at him, his voice filling every inch of the room.
“He was framed, and although he was not a recognised member of my house at the time because of his disownment at sixteen, that is something I will be soon rectifying, he is a Black and my Blood!"
