HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 118 ]
🕑 Added 2024-10-01 02:48:23 +0000 UTCAlbus was shocked at her actions, she normally showed more respect of his position especially in regards to his rights as Headmaster of Hogwarts, this was very out of character for her to just barge into his office like this and with no less than two senior aurors with her.
Amelia set her sight on Dumbledore as soon as she heard him, "I apologize for the rushed entry headmaster Dumbledore, but we have only just received an confidential missive from a reliable source here in the castle requesting for an auror presence to attend to a very serious matter of the utmost importance in the castle." She explained.
Albus found himself at a loss for a moment, someone from inside Hogwarts had contacted her and requested an auror presence here at the school.
He found himself irritated that someone would do such a thing as legally speaking if anyone managed to actually make the request to report a crime or something along the same lines he had no power to stop them from fulfilling their duties while on the grounds.
That was why every any such request was left up to him as headmaster because once they were here his hands were tied.
"I see, well I regret to inform you that I am unaware as to just why that would be the…" Albus was about to say, trying to turn them away to that he could get to the bottom of just why they were here, before he was cut off by his office door opening and Professor McGonagall quickly made her way in.
"Ah good, you are already here, quickly please, the culprit has been captured and is being brought to the main hall now, if you would," McGonagall told them much to Albus's confusion.
"Thank you professor," Madam Bones said as she nodded her head before looking to Dumbledore, "We will only be a few minutes headmaster then we will leave you to get back to your business." She said before giving a nod to both Moody and Kingsley as they both quickly began to leave the office.
Albus was speechless as he found himself completely clueless as to just what was going on and his attention turned to McGonagall, "Minerva, whatever is going on?" he asked wanting to get to the bottom of this, something told him that whatever it was he wouldn't like it.
"Oh Albus, the youngest Weasley's pet has been discovered to be an animagus by Andromeda and Mister Black, can you imagine it," McGonagall spoke with disgust in her tone.
"Someone has been posing as a pet and in the dorms all these years, I remember when young Percy first came here with that rat, to think its been a person all this time."
The second Albus heard that his mind began to run a mile a minute, how could this have happened.
He quickly rounded his desk and began to make his way to follow the aurors trying to think, if he didn't act quickly this could possibly ruin everything he had planned.
Being the headmaster of Hogwarts he of course knew that "Scabbers" was not as he seemed.
He had long ago altered the wards of the school to include an animagus detection ward in its design, after he had found out that three of his past students had learned the skill under his very nose and so knew exactly who the rat was but he had kept quiet so as to use the information at the right time.
Now it would seem that very secret was going to come back to bite him in a rather unpleasant place.

Andromeda and Magnus had arrived in the great hall after only just a few minutes and were standing up at the head table as they awaited the arrival of the aurors.
Magnus hadn't put his wand away the whole time and kept it trained on the rat inside the cage with another stunning curse on his lips ready at the first sign that the rat might wake up.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long after they had arrived before the trio of aurors arrived.
Moody at the lead and giving Magnus an approving look as they approached.
He had of course been giving the run down on just what was going on and wanted to get to the bottom of things.
"Smart lad, I knew there was a reason I liked you," Moody commented as they got closer and saw that the rat was stunned, "not one to take chances are you."
"Not when things are this serious sir," Magnus responded but didn't take his eyes or wand off the rat.
His words seemed to get marks of approval from both Amelia and Kingsley as they saw him and looked over the two of them and saw Magnus holding his wand trained on the rat.
Amelia's first impressions of the young heir in front of her was that he clearly meant business and that he was taking things personally, not that she could blame him.
She'd barely let Ted finish his explanation at the time before she was out the door calling for two senior Aurors to follow her, and she only had slightly less of a stake in this matter than he did.
"Heir Black, if you don't mind, we'll take it from here," Amelia said gently but firmly as she drew out her own wand and gestured for him to step away.
Magnus hesitated for a moment before he nodded and stepped back a fraction but didn't take his wand off of the rat, getting a grin and a nod of approval from Moody as the scared Auror did the same getting a sigh from Amelia.
She aimed her wand and levitated the cage off the table and onto the ground between all of them before with a wave of her wand enlarged the cage to seven foot tall by four foot wide.
