Chapter 139: GOF (II)…

While Reo was getting his 5th lover, another person was getting busy with several of his plans.

[In Headmaster's Office]

Albus stood quietly near the window mulling over his plans. Fawkes trilled happily trying to cheer him up. But the problem was that Albus wouldn't be able to become happy because of the stress. He was quite stressed... after all this was the beginning. He was damn sure that Voldemort would make a move now, using the cover of this tournament.

That meant that Voldemort was going to get his body. And Voldemort getting a body again meant war to be ignited, again. But his hands were tied because of the prophecy... this was the best choice of actions. Yes, this was the only way.

Dumbledore has gone too far into this plan to back out now. He knew the moment Voldemort revealed his return to the public, everyone would come running back to him. All the positions he lost would be handed back to him. All the disrespect, he had to withstand would be returned ten-fold. He was going to make sure of it.

But there was a hitch in his plans, Dark Lord Magneto. Oh... Albus very well knew that Magneto was in no way a Dark Lord but it can't be helped. After all, Magneto actively worked to ruin his plans and whoever ruined his plans must be a dark wizard after all he was the leader of light.

He didn't know what Magneto was going to do... or would do when he found out about his plans. He still remembers the last time he met the Dark Lord and fought him. That time he was beaten mercilessly and had his most prized artifact... the Death Stick taken away from him. He had searched everywhere he could but didn't find any single clue what kind of magic Magneto used.

Albus needed to find that out but time has already run out. This was the main point for his plans, he would have planned these things more intricately... but time was running out. He couldn't wait anymore after all as soon as Harry turns 17 he won't be able to gain control over the boy.

Because of the thrice-damned prophecy, he won't able to kill Tom and become the savior of the wizarding world. He knew that either Harry or Tom had to die... and he never believed for a moment that a kid could or should defeat Tom and gain all the glory after all he had worked so hard to make this happen. If only Magneto hadn't interfered in his well-made plans.

Well, all of those are moot points now... Albus believed that he was the only one who could lead Magical Britain and no one other than him should conquer any Dark Lord. Previously, he had many problems... one of the problems was that he was getting old... too old and if he allowed the prophecy to fulfill itself then there was a chance that Harry could become someone who would try to destroy his idle world. That meant the 3rd Dark Lord in his life.

But no, it was solved, Dumbledore was able to persuade the Flamel couple to part with the Philosopher Stone and he would be able to live. Live long enough to kill Harry if by any chance Harry survives and kills Tom. After all, it was Harry's destiny to die... either as a martyr or a Dark Lord. Albus smiled... thinking about the future.

He can't make any mistakes now. So, he needed the loyalty of everyone in this castle... especially all the professors. Even he didn't get anyone's loyalty no one should question his decisions. Now, the problem was Vicky Ravenclaw. He was no idealist so he knew that there was no way he could do anything to Vicky... yes, Imperius Curse would work like a charm but there was no way he was going to cast it on her.

So, he decided to do the next best thing... feed potion to the professors, and that was exactly what he had planned. Severus had provided him several vials of newly made loyalty potions. Like any other potion, this could also be nullified by the cleansing potion or the nullifying potion but this this new potion made it quite impossible for the others... meaning third parties to notice the changes. He wasn't going to change any laws or whatsoever inside the school or else it would attract Vicky Ravenclaw, this would ruin all of his well-laid plans. For now, he was going to let everything run like it did till now. No need for abrupt changes... he would just use this and let his questionable decisions towards the tournament go on unquestioned.

Like the security of using only the Age Line... he turned his head towards the portraits of the previous Head Masters, he remembered the old times when he had control over all of them and used them to spy around the school. But no...!! He lost it all and there was a very small chance that he would gain that back. He could if someone else is able to claim any lordships related to the founders. Then they could compete for the Hogwarts against Vicky Ravenclaw. He knew that at this moment he only had the Headmaster's position for show, it had no power.

Albus wasn't stupid, he knew that Vicky would throw him out of the school right after Harry's name comes out of that goblet. There was a solid chance that it would happen but he had no problems with it, after all, he was getting the loyalty of all the professors today. According to hierarchy Minerva McGonagall was going to be the next Headmistress. He could control the school through her.

Whatever happens, it would only happen for a year. Because after that, Voldemort was going to return... everyone would be begging him to return. While thinking all this Albus returned to his desk and cast a few spells at the portraits and pulled out a box filled with vials of loyalty potions. Happily musing to his own plans he left the room... alas, too busy to notice a portrait had been following his moments until he used the spells on the portraits...

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

Ugh...!! My body is so stiff!! Goddammit. Stretching my body I got down from the train followed by the girls. The girls knew about the Triwizard Tournament... and Rumi was very very excited to hear all the announcements regarding the tournament.

We quickly found a carriage for ourselves... with the four of us it was already full so we didn't need to wait for anyone. I quietly sat while caressing Momo's head and thought about the plans Dumbles had made. He was honestly stupid if he had thought that I wouldn't find out about them if he makes them right in his office while speaking to himself. I have also found out where his pet Death Eater was staying.

There was a reason I wasn't able to find out where that greasy git has run off too. I was quite certain that I remembered where the fucker lived. Spinners End... but no matter how much I tried before I wasn't able to remember anything. Obviously, Dumbles had cast a Fidelius for his greasy friend. But just as I said with the heat vision spell Momo made I was able to find him out even if I wasn't able to see the house. But he would get his in due time... but his time hasn't come.

Finally arriving at the gates the carriage stopped and we went inside. We quickly found ourselves sitting at the Ravenclaw table. The room slowly filled with the students. Hermione found us and sat beside Momo.

"Where were you? I tried to find you guys" Hermione started to say but Momo raised her hand to stop her.

"We were having a private chat so we have to ward the compartment to stop any interruption" Momo said to Hermione.

"But that's against the rules!" Hermione hissed. Well, that's that. I have heard enough... I decided to tune her out. Momo she is your friend you have to take responsibility.

Soon, all of the staff joined the Head Table while Minnie Gi brought in the ickle firsties. The sorting started right after that. After the sorting finished Dumbledore stood up and welcomed everyone for this year with the start of the feast.

The food was nice I have to say... now, Luna was also sporting an anti-mind altering bracelet. Dumbledore again stood up to make announcements.

"Students! I am happy to inform you that this year and old tradition and event of the Wizarding World is returning with a new twist. But before any of that, I would like to inform you that there would be no Inter-House Quidditch Tournament this year" Dumbledore was saying but he was cut off by huge chatter and outrage.

"You must be joking!" The loudest were the Weasley twins.

"I assure you I am not joking. The Triwizard Tournament is returning!" He finished and the Great Hall burst into cheer. Dumbles made a banging noise from his wand making everyone quiet down.

"There are going to be two categories of the Tournament. The senior part is in which only anyone above 17 would be able to participate. And the Junior one, any students from age of 14-16 would be able to participate. Both the goblets would be protected by the age line. For any more information please contact your Head of the House" Dumbledore finished and looked around the Hall. "Good Night" with that, he finally sat down.

The Great Hall burst into another round of cheer and applause...
