CHAPTER: 19 OUCHTOWN POPULATION U FOR UMBRIDGE
THE POTTER NEW YORK, N.Y.
Neville sat down with the others around the dining room table in the penthouse of the Potter building in New York city as the others he had named to Amelia Bones took their places at the table to talk about what Madam Bones had offered them in Harry's name as she took them out of Britain to safety.
"Alright, let's settle down." Neville called out, bringing them to order.
"What's going on here, Longbottom?" Katie Bell asked as the others nodded along.
"As you all know, Harry left Magical Britain after they all betrayed him. And you all know that You-know-who is back now. If we'd stayed in Britain, we'd have all been targets. Harry arranged for those of us who didn't turn our backs to get out of the country to safety, through Madam Bones. According to Madam Bones the Queen is interested in helping Harry to protect Britain when You-know-who starts on the non-magical world. That's why we're here." Neville explained.
'"Why?" Alicia had to ask.
"Because Harry can't do it by himself. He'll need some help." Neville offered.
"Look. We're just ordinary witches and wizards." Angelina protested.
"Don't you understand. We are the last people Harry trusts he needs somebody to watch his back, are you going to let him down again?" Neville demanded, standing and slamming his hands palm down on the table.
Around the table Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnstone,Katie Bell. Michael Corner, Ernie Macillan, Justin Finch-Fletchly and Hermione Granger all stood at his words and none of them could deny what he was saying.
"How are we supposed to help him? We're all still in school." Justin asked.
As he said those words, the door to the dining room opened and a man walked through to look at them.
"I think I might be able to help with that." he said in a self-assured tone as they looked at him.
"And who are you?" Neville asked.
"Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man. He's an inventor and a technological Genius. He was a weapons manufacturer of some reknown." Hermione said as Tony walked ot the table.
"I'm impressed. A member of the Magical World who is actually knowledgable of the normal world." Tony said with a smile.
"But why are you here, Mister Stark?" Hermione asked.
"Well, Miss..."Tony started.
"Granger, Hermione Granger." Hermione put in.
"Thank you, Miss Granger. A friend and I designed an armor rehabilitation suit for your friend to help him get back to normal and up on his feet. But my friend was requested to help you up your game. That's why you're here. I'l be taking the time to learn your, ahhh, affinities and design things to help supplement them while you're here. Them some friends of mine will be able to help you become a unit." Tony explained.
"Why would you do that?" Neville asked.
"Because Sam Belknap asked me to." Tony said shortly.
"Who is Sam Belknap?" Neville asked.
"Lord Belknap is the Queen's Wizard. He is the one responsible for informing Her Majesty of what is taking place in the Magical World." Hermione added in.
"That's right. Now we need to start finding out what your affinities are." Tony informed them.
As they started testing Hermione, one of the things they learned was that along with an eidetic memory she also had an affinity for fire magic. While she was not an elemental she was quite able to cast fire spells with some proficiency.
But that was only part of the surprise for that day. Because another of the students, Katie Bell was shown to be equally proficient with the element of water that she could cast and manipulate with equal skill. Fred and George were quite the tricksters of the group, and they showed their own energetic ways of manipulating the magic that they could cast.
The show stopper of the group had to be Neville Longbottom when he cast his own spells and they learned that he was an Herbology prodigy because he was an earth elemental.
MINISTRY OF MAGIC
WIZENGAMOT CHAMBERS
"Now that the vote has been taken, we shall have a fifteen minute recess while the scribe draws up the necessary decrees to deliver to Gringott's to seize the Potter assets." Dolores Jane Umbridge, Interim Minister for Magic suggested and the Chief Witch brought her gavel down to make it so.
Once they were in recess, Amelia headed up to the V.I.P. Elevators and took them to the Atrium. She had just enough time to get outside the Ministry and make a phone call before she would have to get back down to the Wizengamot chambers.
As soon as she was out in the open air, she hit the speed dial on her cell phone and called Sam.
DELACOUR MANOR
POTTER WING
Sam took out his cell phone as soon as it started to ring and spotted Amelia's name in the caller I.D.
"Hello? Amelia?" he answered.
"Samuel, we've got a majorcock-up going on here in the Wizengamot." she started.
"Alright, Amy. What's going on?" he asked, sensing her nervousness over the phone as he looked Harry in the suit Tony had helped him put together.
Amelia quickly gave him the rundown and he listened to what Dolores had started, taking note of the salient points as she spoke.
"Alright, me ten minutes and I'll be there. Just a heads up, though. When I get there everythings going to get real. Umbridge has stepped over the line, severely. She is calling for Harry to be marked in absentia as a traitor and seditionidt because he has placed everything in stasis and she is writing a proclamation to seize all his holdings from Gringotts." Amelia said quickly.
"I see, I'm going to use a port-key to reach you shortly. But be fore-warned that I'm going to be taking steps that will be tearing the Ministry and the Wizengamot a new one before I am done." Sam warned.
"Alright. I have to get back to the Chambers. See you shortly." Amelia said and ended the call.
Sam put his phone away and turned to Harry.
"Lord Potter, Harry, that was Amelia and she just gave me some bad news. Yhe Wizengamot is going to try and invalidate everything and take all your holdings by claiming that you committed Treason. I can get there and put a stop to it, but that means that you will be here by yourselves trying to get everything up to speed while I do, Can you handle that?" Sam asked them.
"We can get it on-line, Don't let them take anything else from me, Lord Belknap." Harry agreed.
"Alright. When I get back, then I'll transport you to the valley for the next step of your training. Good enough?" Sam pressed.
"Get the back-stabbing bastards." Harry agreed.
Taking a strap, Sam cast the Port-key spell on it and than looked at Harry and Fleur with a wink, then activated it. He was whisked away in a swirl of rainbow colored light.
Ministry of Magic
Outside the Wizengamot chamber
There was a flash of rainbow colored light and Lord Samuel Belknap appeared in a corridor that was supposed to be proof against apparation and port-keys.
But more than that, he was not alone. He was accompanied by Master Sergeant Ian Caskull, of her Majesty's Magical Guard.
"Are you ready for this, Ian?" Sam asked.
"Aye, Chief Warlock. I will attend to Her Majesty's Ambassadorial Suite while you go deal with these idiots." Ian said as he made his way to the V.I.P. Lifts, proving that he's been here before.
Sam walked over and stood listening at the doors for a second before he made his entry.
His next move was to step back and administer a swift kick to the center of the double doors, forcing them open with a boom.
He swept down into the center of the chamber, his cloak swirling behind him as he made his way to be seen by everyone in attendance today.
"You know, when we removed Cornelius Fudge,Amos Diggory and others from this august body, I had thought that we removed all the idiots that would seek to usurp and corrupt the Ministry for their own ends. But looking up to see what appears to be a mutated toad in a pink sweater, I havo to re-assess my initial findings. I mean what kind of dark rituals did you perform to sumon one of the demons from that hell?" Sam had to ask, stifling his chuckles.
Unfortunateley, his words had set off a series of laughs around the chamber.
"I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I'M NO HALF-BREED CREATURE!" Umbridge shrieked as she stood in offense at his words.
"Then what would you call yourself? I know what I call you, but that is neither here nor there, You see you have made a serious mistake." Sam started.
"And what, pray-tell is that mistake?" Umbridge asked in a saccharine voice.
"You believe that you are the end all be all of the magical world and that isn't true." Sam said calmly.
"I am the Minister of Magic. My word is law in the Magical World." Umbridge argued.
"No, Madam, I'm afraid it isn't. The Wizarding World was granted Autonomy to govern themselves under the auspices signed by His Majesty, King Edward the Confessor. That autonomy was maintained under the Charter he signed with the provisos that the Wizarding World would police it's own citizens and that your conflicts would not spill over into the Non magical world. Unfortunately for yourselves, you have not kept to that agreement." he pointed out drolly.
"We have done our best to remain hidden from the Muggles." Theodore Nott Sr. protested.
"You have more than once allowed your conflicts to escalate until they spilled over into the Mundane world. Grindelwald and World War Two comes to mind. More recently, the attacks on mundanes by Voldemort and his Death Eaters. It is for that very reason that you have forfeited your right to both autonomy and self governance. More than that you now level false charges against one of Her Majesty's own. As of this minute I, Lord Samuel Belknap, Her Majesty's Royal Wizard declare that for these crimes and attempted line-theft, the Wizengamot and wizarding world's charter is rendered broken and void." Samuel called in a ringing voice that echoed throughout the chamber.
In response Magic itself caused the Great Seal of the Wizengamot to rend itself in two and crash to the floor.
DELACOUR MANOR
POTTER WING
NOON
Harry and Fleur were in his wing of the manor, talking when the armor he was wearing finally started to come on-line. He was surprised as a strange type of visor came up and fitted into place over his eyes and ears, then he got another shock as he heard a starnge wizened sounding voice speak in his ears.
"Magical Education or Merlin on-line. Good Afternoon, Lord Potter." It greeted him.
"What the hell?!" he gasped out in shock, "Who's there?"
"My apologies, Lord Potter. I didn't mean to startle you." Merlin apologized.
"Who are you?" Harry demanded.
"Arry, are you alright?" Fleur asked in concern.
"Greetings, Miss Delacour. I am Merlin." the voice made itself heard outside of Harry's suit.

To the folowing reviewers: You made some good suggestions and I think I'm going to take a closer look at them and possibly use more than one. Thanks for yiur continued support and may the time continue on.
N. A. Wennerholm chapter 20 . Jul 30
I have read your original version to were you then decided to reboot it. the Story defiantly was interesting.
Plus I read your notes about your health issues. Don't know if the picture profile is you or not and can't say for sure of your age because there are people who don't look their age I know my family ages slowly once full grown as long as we take care of ourselves the best we can we do have our share of health issues that can be influenced by our environment and not necessarily by our actions though some are. And some are genetic and hereditary. As for me, I am a 45-year-old female thou I don't look at it and my family usually live into out 80's, 90's, and 100's. My last remaining grandmother did at 103 years old and she was a retired RN which is a Registered Nurse. The only time a family member dies younger than that is because of accident, murder, or a severe illness that there is no treatment for at the time or it is just too much for them and their bodies. I lost my mother at 67 who has been through a lot and was born with a birth defect to her heart and was trying to get it to fix but something kept happening that kept delaying it. Plus has been hit multiple forms of dementia and part was related to her Heart. Plus she also had something similar to Parkinson's disease which was causing her to lose control of her body. Plus she was suffering from chronic pain from arthritis which is the result of many injuries she had suffered threw out her life She was sweet and feisty and with time and age she didn't put up with anyone's bullshit and was protective of me and my brother, in fact, most of our family was with maybe a few exceptions.
I hope somebody adopts this and notice goes out so that those of us who are interested in it can see the finished product of this Story. I would love to see Cousin Lizzy Queen Elizabeth the 2nd gives the British wizarding world what for. And sends out a message announcement to her counterparts around the world along with The ICW along with all the other Wizarding Government explaining everything along with complete and comprehensive Documentation of their violations and crimes. So as to show she is in her right to do why she did. In your first vision, Harry was also a relative of the Queen but was never mentioned in this version but I feel should be kept. Which would give her even more right for doing what she is. And would love to see those bigots along with everyone else when they find out. Thus showing Harry that he does have family that cares for him no matter how distant in relation. I know a lot about my family history though not all of it. Learned most of it from my Grandparents and Great Grandparents. But also from the family documentation. That I had a chance to read. But there is so much more than I hope one day I can read should I be able to get a chance to get copies of it plus her a lot had been destroyed in a fire. And in the First Version, you mention that Harry's Lord Heir rings gave him even more power even unlocked powers that that Old manipulative goat bound or tried to. Along with feeding him a great deal of family knowledge. And was thinking it should have told him that the Queen and Sam were family to him.
And from what I have read many in the Wizarding World by their actions didn't give a shit about Harry's Health both Physical and Mental and emotional. And that he had every right to leave so he could. And some British shits didn't like the Fact the Delacour family was chosen as his new guardians via the ICW. But yet by the reaction, the Queen was happy and approved of them thus may have known about them. While at the same time showed she was pissed with Dumbledore and was somewhat showing her displeasure with his action. Plus I would have liked to see the Dursleys dealt with for their abuse and neglect of Harry also taking Dudley's bullying into account. No child deserves what Harry has been through.
So hopefully whoever takes up this story will think about taking some of my suggestions.
missgsmith51 chapter 8 . Sep 28
I hope Dumbledore is "nuked." To that end, I trust that Fawkes has either left him or been prevented from rescuing him. I dearly hope it is the former, as it is unthinkable that a creature of light would serve such a self-serving, manipulative arse as Dumbledore.
I would also suggest that McGonagall receive a reality check of her own, so that she may truly understand what the man she serves (and apparently still supports and idolizes) has done to one of her Lions. Of course, if she already does truly understand and still supports him, then perhaps she needs some "reality therapy" of her own.
It would seem that the entire British Wizarding community needs an intensive history and civics lesson regarding not just their rights but also their responsibilities as British citizens. They seem to have forgotten ... assuming they ever knew in the first place. I can't help wondering if Binns neglected that aspect of their education.
To everyone that has reached out to me I can never thank you enough so I will try to continue this one for all of you. And for the man who made it all possible to play in half the sandbox, Stan Lee the truest Avenger, may he never be forgotten for giving us these things for over 40 years. Excelsior!
