Chapter Ten, Anger, Aurors, Animagi

After the revelation that had been dropped in the laps of Sirius and Remus within Hogwarts, and Jasper and Rosalie in The Three Broomsticks, the four sat/stood in silence as they were not only processing everything but they were also trying to control their anger. Especially as three out of the four had altar egos (Padfoot, Moony and Major).

In Sirius' office, Sirius paced up and down behind his desk running his hands through his hair anxiously whilst Remus, Ron, Neville and Kellah either watched silently or paced the length of the office themselves. On the next turn Sirius made there was a knock upon the door causing tension and quintet's magic to suddenly rise within the room as if a storm was building when a familiar voice pierced through the eye of the storm of emotions and magic.
"Sirius," Headmistress Minerva McGonagall's voice called through the thick oak wooden door, "I'm with Madam Bones."

That was all it took for Sirius to practically leap for the door, throwing it open with such a force it bounced off of the wall.
"Minnie!! Thank Merlin!!" Sirius exclaimed, his relief was almost palpable that Minerva didn't even reprimand him and instead just scowled at him briefly as she entered the office after Amelia.
"Right," Madam Bones instructed, setting up a self-inking dicta-quill and parchment on Sirius' desk. "Headmistress McGonagall has explained what has happened to Lady Potter but I need a statement and memories from each of you here before I can act. If I need to I will speak to Lady Potter before arresting Dolores, but that shouldn't be needed until afterward due to the nature of the accusations." Madam Bones explained.

"You can use our private quarters, Amelia." Sirius offered, nodding to the door behind his desk at the back of the room.
"Thank you Sirius." Amelia nodded. "Professor McGonagall could you act as guardian while I take these statements please. I'll start with Heir Longbottom."
"Of course." McGonagall agreed, her voice tight as she tried to control her anger over the injustice her (favourite) lioness had suffered. "Come along Mr Longbottom." She coaxed, waiting for Neville to join her before following Madam Bones into the lounge of Sirius and Remus' quarters.

"SHE DID WHAT!!!" Jasper and Rosalie hissed enraged, Rosalie's eyes were no longer gold but a black while Jasper's eyes were black with flecks of red breaking up the black showing that Major was now in control. They knew the other patrons of the pub/inn would have heard them and no doubt were casting looks towards the private room they were in, but they didn't care.
"Ah'm gonna kill her!" Major snarled. "Nobody hurt mah darlin' and gets away with it!"
"I'm with you brother." Rosalie agreed. "I'm prepared to break my streak of never consuming human blood."
"You don't want to do that, Rosalie." Dahlia interjected.

"Sweetie, she deserves every ounce of pain we all inflict on her and more!" Rosalie argued gently.
"Oh, I don't disagree there, it's just..." Dahlia trailed off as a mischievous smirk stole across her face as she shared a look with Luna.
"She'll taste worse than her personality with her resemblance to a toad, she might make you sick." Dahlia and Luna stated, identical evil impish looks on their faces. It was silent for all but a moment when suddenly startled laughs tore from Major and Rosalie's throats easing their volcanic anger. If only slightly.
"You have a point there." Rosalie muttered in disgust. "But don't change the subject. Major and I will accompany you both to Hogwarts and have a....chat with Umbitch before the Aurors take her away." Rosalie insisted firmly.

"Major, I'm sorry I didn't tell you or Jasper." Dahlia apologised. "I just couldn't risk losing my Dads. Please don't do anything that'll separate us! I can't lose you too!!" Dahlia begged.
"My apologies Ma'am." Major's deep Texan accent deepened, a smirk in his lips when he noticed Dahlia blushing and felt her love, lust and want directed at him. "Ah'll nevur let anyone separate us, Lia. Ah'll kill them if they tried. Whut Ah gonna find out iz: tuh find out if Alice knew if find out what blocked her visions."

"I'll text Emmett and Zoë, see if they can find out." Rosalie told him, quickly texting her mate/husband and her best friend who was Alice's wife when someone walked into Dahlia causing her to almost fall if Jasper hadn't caught her.
"Hey! Watch where you're..." Dahlia snapped only to trail off when she noticed who had bumped into her. Dahlia's complexion became pale and her eyes darkened and glowed luminescent all at once.
"What was that Miss Potter-Black?" the simpering voice of Dolores Jane Umbridge made Dahlia close her eyes in tired resignation while trying to keep control of her anger.

"Purposely bumping into a teacher and going to insult a teacher? I'm afraid that's another two weeks of detentions. Tonight, my office."
"Are you bloody serious, right now?" Rosalie shouted, her eyes - now black once more - bore deadly into Umbridge's, causing the pious woman to stumble back a few feet before she stopped and gathered herself together raising her chin defiantly.
'Like a child.' Jasper thought which Major agreed with as well and they had also caught the crack in her armour. The whole pub/inn had in fact and were trying not to laugh at the idiotic woman.

"You are not giving my sister any more of those so-called detentions when you use that as a cover to bloody torture her! Especially not for something so benign as YOU walking into her." Rosalie shouted, causing several gasps to filter through the dead silence of the pub.
"EXCUSE ME!!" Umbridge screeched, her face turning a blotchy red. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? I AM DOLORES JANE UMBRIDGE, SENIOR UNDERSECRETARY TO THE MINISTER! YOU CANNOT SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY!! As for you, Miss Potter-Black, you know what will happen to your....Papa." Umbridge shouted at Rosalie before rounding on Dahlia with a simpering threatening tone.

"Why? Because it's the truth!" Rosalie snarled, Umbridge cast a wary eye around the pub as Rosmerta and all of the patrons who were watching with rapt attention; but Dolores was not one who knew how or who would back down, always having to have the last word. But as she opened her mouth to utter more lies and threats she was interrupted by Major's growls.
"Shut up." Major growled, a dark look upon his face as fury burned red hot in his eyes, his clenched fists shaking at his side. However, no matter how angry he and Rosalie were they made sure to stand protectively in front of Dahlia and Luna.

They would not give this vile excuse of a human being a chance to hurt either of them. "Yawl will not speak tuh Dahlia this way. Nor will yawl hurt her family and friends, and yawl most certainly won't hurt her anymore either."
"Just who do you think you are? You can't order me around!" Umbridge shouted, her face turning a puce colour that reminded Dahlia of her so-called Uncle Vernon before he beat her.
"I am Major Jasper Whitlock." Major drawled, a bloodthirsty appearing on his lips when Umbridge and everyone in the pub flinched. "Good. Yawl've heard about me." Major's smirk widened. "Ah should kill yawl fahwar chur torture an abuse uh Dahlia, mah mate. But I will not give those like you - pathetic witches and wizards - an excuse to separate us."

"To torture children is disgusting! You must not be right in the head to commit such a heinous act, or perhaps your toad-like appearance must have sired." Rosalie growled. Upon noticing some people were casting her disgusted and angry looks while others were trying not to laugh at the half breeds' words Umbridge became incensed, almost foaming at the mouth with her anger.
"NO!!! NOW ENOUGH!!! I. WILL. HAVE. ORDER!!! And I will not be spoken to like this by two filthy half breeds, a lying attention seeking freak, and a weird little freak!!" Umbridge screamed no longer keeping a resemblance of composure.

"What. Did. You. Just. Call. Them!?" Dahlia asked slowly, her magic surging from her in waves causing a thick oppressing feeling in the air as her hair danced around her and her eyes glowed. Just like the Killing Curse. Causing Umbridge to back away slightly fear passing across her face before she regained control. But they'd seen. Immediately Rosalie took advantage of Umbridge to become defensive as they started screaming at each other as Umbridge fired curses but Dahlia and Luna had been ready and had successfully cast the Protego Charm.
"ENOUGH!!!" A voice shouted ten minutes into their shouting match from the entrance of the pub that was now deserted apart from Dahlia, Luna, Jasper, Rosalie and Umbridge standing in the wreckage; and Madam Rosmerta standing behind the bar and a shield.

Her wand pointed at Umbridge with a glare on her face (she had tried to disarm Umbridge only for it to be deflected. Standing with Madam Bones in the doorway were Aurors Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphadora Vulpecula Black-Tonks.
"Ahh Amelia." Umbridge said triumphantly, smirking at Dahlia and the others. "I want these four arrested for slander against me."
"Well, unfortunately for you Dolores that's not going to happen." Madam Bones refuted with a cold glare. "Dolores Jane Umbridge, you are under arrest for the torture of Lady Dahlia Emma Potter, Heiress to House of Black by means of the Torture Curse and repeated use of a Blood Quill.

You have the right to remain silent; anything you do say can and will be used against you. You have the right to a Law-witch or wizard but if you cannot afford one the Wizengamot will provide one for you. Do you understand these terms?" Madam Bones asked, ignoring Dolores' shouts and threats as Tonks relieved her of her wand whilst Kingsley bound her in magic suppressing cuffs.
"I should have got more Dementors to go after that freak and Black. Silence them once and for all." Umbridge raged, dropping herself into boiling and red hot water.

It was silent for all but a minute before the anger erupted causing Dolores to pale as she realised what she said.
"N-no, n-no wait," Umbridge stuttered, "Cornelius said I would be protected. H-he wanted them gone for embarrassing him and the Ministry. Edward Masen assured us the rest of his ex-clan wouldn't find out until the girl was dead." She babbled nervously.
"WHAT!!!" Rosalie and Major roared, their eyes now like a black hole. Moving away, Rosalie quickly dialled Carlisle's number; she had told him that Edward needed to be dealt with and now Dahlia was paying the price of that inaction.

"Your charges have now been increased to unlawful usage of the Dementors and premeditated murder of Lady Potter." Madam Bones snapped disgusted, sending a Patronus to Auror Proudfoot to arrest Cornelius Fudge (with the reasons why and to start a manhunt for Edward Masen otherwise known as Edward Cullen). "Do you understand these terms?" She snapped once more.
"Yes." Umbridge sighed resigned, knowing all her blabbering had not helped her but most likely increased her sentence.

"We will collect your statements at a later date. For now, I suggest you head back to Sirius and Remus. Major Whitlock, Mrs McCarthy, you both may accompany them with special permission from myself to stay in the castle for tonight." Madam Bones said kindly.
"Thank you Madam Bones." The four chorused, watching in satisfaction as Umbridge was forcibly removed from The Three Broomsticks.

Jasper and Rosalie watched with keen interest as Sirius coached Dahlia, Luna, Kellah, Ron, Neville, Lee Jordan, and Fred and George Weasley through the process of becoming Animagi. The eight teenagers were sitting on the floor before the fireplace facing the collection of sofas and armchairs where Sirius, Remus, Jasper and Rosalie sat. They had been working on the process for a month now, holding a Mandrake leaf in their mouths for a month while the potion sat on a window sill in clear view of the sun and moon for the full lunar cycle and could finally add the leaf and drink the potion which they did half an hour ago when Dahlia and Luna returned from Hogsmeade with Jasper and Rosalie.

"Okay, you should be able to see your Animagi forms in your mind-scape. It'll look like either the habitat of your form or where you feel most comfortable. Let the feelings of your forms wash over you as you become one with your form. Your magic free and washing over you as it feels complete." Sirius coached, his tone low and comforting. Coaching the teens who were all mediating when suddenly creatures started appearing in his and Remus' lounge, starting with their daughter who was a beautiful Phoenix, similar to Fawkes but slender showing she was female and with a deeper red plumage had bright emerald green eyes like Dahlia's hair and eyes.

Next to transform were Luna, Fred and George. Luna was a beautiful Elf owl with a pale tawny blonde plumage and bright blue eyes. Fred and George were identical red coyotes with only a very minute difference as George was slightly taller and had dark brown chocolate eyes. Finally, the rest completed the transformation an hour after the first quartet completed the transformation. Neville was a Brown Bear with pale green eyes, Kellah a Black Panther with dark brown eyes, Ron a Tiger with blue eyes, and Lee Jordan a Jarvey with dark brown eyes (which was a magical creature that looked like an overgrown ferret and capable of human speech).

"Congratulations to all of you." Remus praised, beaming widely at them whilst Sirius literally bounced around the room in pure joy as Dahlia let out a soft and comforting trill, and Jasper and Rosalie watched in stunned and amazed. They knew Emmett would be ecstatic but also gutted that he missed it.
"Now we just need to think of some names for all of you." Sirius exclaimed an hour later after Remus had coached them back to their human selves.

"That was wicked!" Fred and George exclaimed, beaming widely and overcome with joy. To have their idols coach them through the process of becoming Animagi and to help them think up their very own Marauder generation-two names was a dream come true; and it was all thanks to their little sister Dahlia Emma Potter-Black.
