Chapter Eleven, Plots and Betrayals

-A Month ago, non-disclosed location (a rundown warehouse, Muggle London)-

Minister Cornelius Fudge and his Undersecretary Dolores Umbridge paced carefully up and down the inside of the warehouse giving its dilapidated warehouse a sneer of disgust at all the filth coating this warehouse and the overall state of it while they waited for Edward Masen to arrive for this secret meeting that they both had to sneak away from the Ministry and Hogwarts to attend and yet this vampire had the audacity to be an hour late. As Dolores opened her mouth to complain (for the umpteenth time) a dark chuckle came from the dark shadowy corner behind them causing both the foolish and incompetent witch and wizard to leap a foot in the air.

"Sorry." A dark chuckle drawled from the corner, not sounding remorseful at all, as a tall man with copper-coloured curls and blood-red eyes exit the corner slowly as if he were stalking his prey as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and licked it off not taking his eyes off of them a smirk stretching his lips as they flinched. Their thoughts ringing with fear and disgust which only amused the vampire that stalked towards them.
"Who are you? I demand you tell me who you are and what news you have for us regarding Potter! I am the Minister and am rather busy you know!" Fudge shouted pompously.
"Why I am your salvation!" The vampire drawled emotionlessly which contrasted with the blood-thirsty look in his eyes and the smirk stretching across his lips.

"How is a filthy vampire our salvation? And you heard the Minister! Who are you? I demand answers immediately, I am Dolores Jane Umbridge Undersecretary to the Minister and Hogwarts High Inquisitor and Defence Professor!" Dolores screeched, drawing her diminutive stature higher; giving the resemblance that she was inflating herself.
"I know who you are, who both of you are. I can read your every thought, even about each other and my are there a lot. As for who I am? I'm Edward Anthony Masen, previously apart of the Cullen clan until it aligned with Potter and Black and that werewolf." The vampire now known as Edward announced.

"As for what I want. I want blood, however," his smirk widened at their frightened gasps and hurriedly stepping away from him as if that would make even the slightest difference. If they were skilled in magic and duelling like Potter, Black and the werewolf then they may have survived and killed him but unfortunately for them and fortunately for him they weren't. "I will settle for helping you with killing Dahlia Potter-Black."
"W-what's in it for you?" Cornelius Fudge asked in a trembling voice.
"And how will your ex-clan not find out?" Dolores asked, actually using her brain for once. "The attention-seeking brat is the mate of Major Jasper Whitlock! And Black and the werewolf live within the school if Major Whitlock didn't find out via Potter's friends then he would from them!"

"I promise that they won't find out. How can they? They live far away from Scotland even for a vampire to travel and he's not as fast as me. I'll deal with him just don't screw it up until I can get to Jasper. I'm sure if you torture her in two different way it will aggravate the nerve damage she has suffered this past summer leaving her incapacitated and easier to deal with. As lets face it, a fifteen-year-old girl is far better at magic and duelling then you both put together which is rather sad as you both have decades on her." Edward shook his head in faux disappointment, but really he didn't care he just liked playing with his prey.

After he left the Cullens for the second time he went back to feeding on humans but not the lowlifes he had before. All he cares about now is getting revenge on Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Dahlia and her parents for getting him kicked out of the Clan and he will make them pay. He who has been apart of the clan for decades and used to be the apple of Carlisle and Esme's eyes until all the others arrived and started to show them what his true nature was. He could deal with Zoe as she had kept to herself – who had only been with Carlisle slightly longer than him – until Alice joined them and started pulling her mate out of her shell.

"Plus, if you threaten her family, mainly her new parents then I'm sure she will keep quiet about the torture to protect them. She seems like the type. And she's been abused so she will hold onto them tighter and protect them at the cost to herself." Edward added with a malicious smirk.
"Minister?" Dolores breathed hopefully her eyes lighting up with delight at the plan that was slowly coming together it just needed the approval of Cornelius as setting the Dementors on Potter and Black during the summer had backed fired on them as it had happened in a magical district instead of the Muggle world like they had been hoping and there had been witnesses, one who had alerted the Aurors; but they would not fail this time. Soon they would put an end to Potter and then Black and Lupin-Black.

"You do this Dolores, and you will be protected I promise, but I warn you if this backfires you will NOT be protected." Cornelius said decisively, pointing a finger at the woman as he fiddled with his bowler hat in his other hand to get her to listen to him but he had a sinking feeling by the manic grin, that he shook off, that she was no longer listening to him as she started to list ways she could make the Potter brat pay for all the embarrassment she caused the Ministry before she finally ended her miserable life and reunited her with her parents who were just as bad as their daughter as far as Dolores was concerned. There was Lily who thought she was so smart and better than everyone else as she was kind and then there was James who was a prankster, smart, handsome and had money but decided to throw that all away by getting with a Mudblood instead of a Pureblood like someone like her.

"I promise you, Cornelius you will not regret this, and I won't let you down." Dolores promised.
"I better not Dolores as you've already had one chance that didn't exactly pan out did it?" Cornelius asked rhetorically. "And you, Edward Masen, if everything works out as you've said, and your ex-clan don't find out until its too late then you can get whatever your heart desires." Cornelius stupidly bargained, which he failed to realise given the dark grin filled with smugness that adorned Edward's face at his words.

"Oh, it will. I guarantee it as long as you hold up your end and don't screw it up and give the game away too early." Edward promised with a subtle dark threat covering his voice like honey.
"Good." Cornelius and Dolores said simply before they Disapparated away not hearing Edward's parting comment.
"You fools! You will soon wish you never made that promise!"
