The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 80 - Manipulations

[Back in Azkaban]

"This is going to give me huge headache... I don't even imagine what his final objective is" Amelia Bones said while rubbing her forhead. All of them have finally arrived on the top most floor and saw the carnage Magneto had done. ??

Amelia Bones was very happy from inside seeing all the Death Eaters fate but her duty wasn't letting her celebrate. After all she was an dutiful auror and has been for a long time but that didn't mean that she can't be happy from inside.

But currently she was in a dilemma, it seems that Magneto has already killed Sirius Black in the same manner he has killed some other inmates. Magneto has find a way to vaporise them and the most shocking thing is that they didn't find any traces of magic like before. They found traces of only a Patronus spell and nothing else and Magneto seem to also have taken two Patronus pendants from the aurors.

She gave another look at the wall on which Bellatrix Lestrange was painted and she once again cheered internally. Her whole family, Susan's parents were also killed by Death Eaters so it was a really happy news for her but she still needed to catch Magneto because he had broken the law and protecting law was her duty.

Amelia along with her aurors finally decided to leave the fortress because they already have what they needed here and they can't find anything else here because everything they did depended on magic and there wasn't a single trace of magic here except that abomination Patronus. She has seen the memory of the Patronus taken from her aurors and she can't even imgine how strong Magneto was to be able to cast a titanic Patronus like that.

She along with her aurors finally came out of the fortress and saw a group of people she wanted to avoid. The Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge was finally here.

"Amelia Amelia what the hell happened here?" Cornelius while panicking asked Amelia. Amelia always wondered how a moron like this was able to become the Minister of Magic. If he have seen the interior design Magneto made insdie he would puke out his guts.

"Magneto happened... he walked down here like he owned the place, slauthered every Death Eaters and wrote down his name on Azkaban and left" Amelia said in a bland tone.

"Magneto... the same guy who attacked the Weasleys? I thought he was a crazy drunk bastard! Lucius told me that he was just a drunkard who had something against Weasleys and attacked them" Cornelius frantically spoke, he had no idea what he was going to do now. He knew for sure that he can't sweep an incident like this under the rug and he would lose a huge political clout.

"I can assure you Minister that Magneto isn't just some crazy drunk bastard. Any crazy drunk bastard can't rip right through anyone's wards and they don't have guts to break inside Aziaban" Amelia said to the Minister. She had previously put a lid on the news about Magneto breaking in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and she wasn't going to say this now. She was sure that her measley funds would be also cut if she tells him that.

"So... what is he? What does he actually want?" Cornelius asked worriedly. By each moment he can feel the pressure on him increasing.

"We don't know at this moment, he hasn't shown anything which points towards a final objective" Amelia felt that it was true. She herself didn't knew what Magneto actually wanted.

"Is he a new Lord in rising? He must be, if he kills peoples like this. I am going to talk with Albus now, I hope he can give a solution to me" Cornelius said and finally decided to leave Amelia and bother Ablus Dumbledore. Amelia was quite happy that the moron was going to bother someone else finally.

She noticed one thing that even something like this happened, Cornelius didn't increase the funds of her department which she very much needed. She found it odd that even after an incident of this scale Cornelius didn't found it necessary to increase the funds of her department.

[In Hogwarts]

Ablus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump was currently sitting behind his desk and pondering over a certain topic.

He was thinking about the person who attacked the Weasleys, he called himself Magneto. He was really worried about this person, for everyone else Magneto could be a crazy drunk bastard but for him he was much more dangerous. Everyone thought him crazy because he attacked Weasleys and took their pet rat but Akbus Dumbledore was the only person who knew actually who it was.

How can't he know, he was Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore after all. He knew about the Marauders from the beginning after all he uses the portraits to spy on the students and on a certain day a portrait saw three of the Marauders turning into animagus so he knew their animagus forms.

So, when Dumbledore saw the rat with the Weasley family he immediately knew that it was Peter Pettigrew and he also knew that Sirius Black was innocent after all he was there with the Potters when the secret keeper was chosen but Sirius needed to out of the way so he could gain complete control over Harry for the greater good.

When Sybill Trelawney gave the prophecy for the first time he immediately stunned Sybill Trelawney, and started to make plan, he knew that the prophecy could only be about two families, Frank and Alice Longbottom, and the other family James and Lily Potter. As long as either of kids lived the Dark Lord Voldemort couldn't be vanquished.

It was clear in the prophecy that only either of their newborns could vanquish the Dark Lord and both newborns would take at least 15 more years to be even able to stand ground against someone like Tom. So, he needed to make this prophecy pass as soon as he could, so he decided to leak the prophecy to Tom. After all Tom can't be vanquished by two newborns who can't even stand on their own.

So, he arranged a phony interview in Hog's Head but due to his relations with his brother Aberforth Dumbledore, it was quite hard so he decided to use Three Broomsticks for the interview.He knew about Severus Snape joining Tom so he invited Severus to the interview and used a mild confundus on him so that he would eavesdrop on Sybill Trelawney's interview.

He put Sybill Trelawney under the Imperious Curse and made her only recite the first part of the prophecy, he couldn't afford Tom hearing the whole prophecy. If he got his hands on the whole prophecy then he might get scared and not attack any of the families in fear of marking the newborns as his equals and he can't have that. And with planned timing and planning he was finally able to pull it off and like he had thought Severus Snape took the prophecy to Tom.

Tom immediately started to search for the Potters and found them when Potters decided to make Peter Pettigrew their secret keeper. But he needed Sirius to be out of the way or me might do something to ruin the plan that's why he decided to frame Sirius using Pettigrew.

The plan worked really fine, Tom attacked the Potters but he didn't expect Lily Potter to use some kind of sacrificial protection spell to protect Harry. Tom killed both James and Lily but Harry was protected by Lily's protection.

But at least Tom lost his body when he attacked Harry, at least now the days of Tom's terror was over temporarily and he could use this time to make Harry walk down the path of martyr and use his sacrifice as a rally point of light side. Albus knew for sure that Tom wasn't dead as there was no body left behind. And Avada Kedavra never destroys someone's body.

He backup plan of getting Sirius out of the way seemed to a boon at this moment as he would be able to get Harry grow up like he wanted to be.

Peter Pettigrew performed well and framed Sirius, Albus used some of his political power and sent Sirius Black to Azkaban without giving him a trial. Now, he needed Harry to grow up friendless, loveless, and family less and Albus knew the exact place to take Harry, he took Harry to Lily's sister, who despised everything related to magic.

Albus needed Harry to grow up feeling insignificant so that when he brings Harry to magical world he would latch onto anything he gets. He had planned to used Weasleys to keep a tight watch on him so that Harry doesn't gets too much knowledge than he wanted and he always stayed ignorant of his background.

Albus also wanted to get his hands on Potter fortune but didn't seem to work as only a Potter could enter the vaults. After all, wars can't be fought with empty pockets.

So, he regularly got reports on how Harry was growing up and this brought him huge guilt but it needed to be done after all, all of this was for the greater good.

But just two months ago, an unknown person appeared and took Peter Pettigrew from the Weasleys. Albus wasn't stupid and he was sure that this person who called himself Magneto knew exactly who this rat was. Albus was finally brought out of his thoughts when the floo finally blared with green fire and the face of Cornelius Fudge appeared in the fire.

"Albus!! Are you there?" Cornelius screamed frantically. Albus felt a really bad foreboding.

"Yes... what can I do for you Cornelius" Albus spoke in his usual grandfatgerly tone.

"It's bad Albus! It's really bad! Magneto attacked Azkaban and killed allnthe Death Eaters and several other prisoners! Can I come over!" Cornelius said panicking. Albus felt the world shatter, he can't have another monster like Tom appear now and mess up his well laid plans like this. He was sure now that Magneto got Sirius out of Azkaban since he already got his hands on Pettigrew and knowing how much of a coward Pettigrew was, he must have spilled everything.

Albus didn't thought much and opened the floo so Cornelius could come over. He needed to know everything but he really felt a bad premonition...

A/N: I did a vote yesterday about if you wanted lesbian action between Nemuri and Tonks after Tonks join MC's harem. But the no won, so when they are in Hogwarts there won't be any lesbian action.
