V8 Ch10: Aftermath of the Troll
At breakfast the nextday.
The great hall that was silent was suddenly filled with the noise of wings flapping. Looking up one could see owls flock in by the hundred. Each of them carrying a daily prophet.
=========================
Massive golden beam of light in Northumberland England.
Muggles and Wizards alike saw a massive beam of light in the last night, halloween night while muggles happened to think it was some sort of attack. The wizards confirmed that it was magical in nature, it also seems to have comed from the direction of Hogwarts castle.
There was also a statement from the Queen and she knew exactly who was responsible for that "light" she would not tell us what it was, however she said it was nothing to worry about.
In a private conversation with some of the daily prophet interviewers she said that a decedent of King Arthur should have been responsible for it. Who we reported three years ago was going to Hogwarts. The Queen also said "if you do anything to her I will not take responsibility for your deaths. She is a hero after her contributions to fighting off the vampire army and the Catholic Church in the battle for London earlier three years ago."
So the minister is holding off on sending aurors to Hogwarts to bring the girl in for questioning.

===============================
"Well the Queen threw me under the bus." Sandstorm mutters after reading the article.
"Say Yoru, I think I should punish you tonight." Lisa whispers into her ear then lightly bites it.
Sandstorm fells her whole boy shiver excitement or fear? Probably both.
Lisa's and Sandstorm's relationship took itself down an interesting path about a year ago.
"Yoru Pendragon Gilgamesh, you are needed in the headmasters office. Follow me." Mcgonagall
"Ok."
========================
As they arrive at the statue before Professor Mcgonagall can say anything Sandstorm/Yoru, blows by her.
"Lemon Sherbert." Sandstorm says to the statue as it turn into stairs.
"How did you?" Mcgonagall begins to ask
"His password is always some sweet, I sneak up to his office to feed Fawkes every now and then." Sandstorm says.
Mcgonagall has a weird look on her face seeing her go up the stairs like it's normal.
As she gets to the top of the stairs and enters the office she hears arguing. Once she reaches the top she's greeted by a squawk.
From a red bird that is fatter than a chicken. It flaps its wings trying to fly to her but it is to heavy to take off.
"Hi Fawkes!" She says with a bright smile on her face before going over to pet the bird completely ignoring the headmaster arguing with minister Fudge and his small army of aurors.
While she's petting the bird everyone is watching her several wands pointed at her.
"The Queen said she would not take responsibility for your deaths... how do you wanna do it?" Sandstorm/Yoru asks
"Just hand us the weapon that made that light and your free to go." One of the Aurors said
Sandstorm is still petting fawkes like nothing is happening.
when the sound of a sword being pulled out of its sheath can be heard followed by a brilliant light, and the sound of a sword being put back in its sheath. Almost instantaneously, it all happened in under a second.
"Sorry say that one more time please?" Sandstorm asks turning around. Once she is facing them all of their wands fall apart having been cut in half.
'The Sword domain skill is so useful.'
Sandstorm then looks at madeye moody, who's wand is not cut.
"Constant vigilance, well done." Sandstorm says towards him to which he smiles and puts it down knowing full well if she wanted him dead he couldn't do shite about it.
"So, minister is this just another play at power? A lot of people die trying to rob people stronger than them. I wonder what I should do with you?" Sandstorm asks him noticing a water beetle in the distance.
"I am the minister of magic and you are just a girl no one would believe you." Fudge
"I'm very sure a certain reporter is about to have a field day with you "minister"" Sandstorm says turning around and leaving.
As she gets to the stairs Yoru turns around.
"The minister of magic, trying to steal the holy sword Excalibur from its rightful weilder. Your nothing more than a thief, and I don't mind ending your life next time. I defend Hogwarts from a troll attack and you decide to use it as an excuse to steal from a little girl." Sandstorm/Yoru says before finally leaving the office with a massive smile on her face waiting to see the daily prophet the next day.
'I should also write a letter to the goblins l, they won't let what fudge tried stand.'
