397 Interrogation gone wrong!

Reima is sitting and eating lunch in the Great Hall when a shadow approaches him from behind, he sighs and turns thinking that nothing bad had happened in a few hours so this must be it. Behind him he sees Severus Snape with a sick grin on his face staring down at him.

Snape "Mr. Ludvig, as unfortunate as it is I will need to ask you to follow me as some people wish to see you promptly." he says, causing a few people on the Gryffindor to object to it.

Ciri "Why? Who is it?" she asks with a frown.

Snape "It is a private matter that will hopefully be swiftly resolved. Now, do not dawdle as you do not want to keep these people waiting." he says.

Reima clicks his tongue and takes one last mouthful of food before picking up his staff and following Snape to wherever he was leading him to.

They walk down into the dungeons and into a spare classroom where five people are waiting, a chair sitting in the middle of the room. The people present aren't immediately familiar to Reima, though he remembers one or two faces of some Auror's he'd seen during the World Cup fiasco. As he steps inside the door behind him opens, revealing Minister Fudge and another pudgy gentleman who looks like a certain background character, only looking even more forgettable.

Fudge "Ah! Reima, how are you? It's unfortunate we've had to meet again in such circumstances but I've got my hands tied you see... Oh, this is Billius Warrington, a fellow from the Wizengamot who wishes to inquire about the incident involving you and his son."

Billius scowls, "That's enough of that Fudge, he's clearly guilty of assaulting a Pure-blood with no justification. Just throw him into Azkaban like we talked about."

Fudge shakes his head, "The public certainly wouldn't accept that, that is why I've asked Professor Snape here to provide us with some Vertitaserum so we can discover what really happened." he says, not taking notice of the absolutely fuming looking Billius.

Snape "Mr Ludvig will you please take a seat? Otherwise I'll have to ask these Auror's to seat you in a more undignified manner." he says, taking joy in subjecting Reima to such a situation and hoping it'll escalate.

Reima "Isn't veritaserum only legally allowed to be used in court under the supervision of the entire Wizengamot?" he asks due to having researched a couple things that he may be involved in while in this world.

Fudge chuckles, "While that would usually be the case, this is a particularly complex situation which has led to me using my full power of Minister to oversee this personally." he says, making Reima realise what is complex about this, he's being bribed by Warrington.

Reima knowing that unless he intends to kill everyone present before wiping out Britain's magical population he'll either have to ditch this world or do something even more drastic, as such he does what he's told and sits down.

Snape "Open your mouth, I will give you three drops of Veritaserum which would make even the most masterful Occlumens shout their secrets from the roof tops." he says with a smirk.

Reima is quickly given the potion but doesn't feel anything from having taken it, instead he only tastes the rather pleasant potion washing over his tongue.

Snape eyes him before turning to Fudge and Warrington, "It has been administered, I hope I won't trouble you by asking if I could watch the proceedings?"

Fudge "That wouldn't be any trouble at all! In-fact having a potion master watch would make this far more legal-Legitimate.." he quickly corrects himself.

An Auror is about to start questioning him but Warrington moves them out of the way with his fat body, "Now boy, you will speak the truth or I'll have your tongue cut. Who was the one that first initiated your fight between you and Cassius Warrington?"

Reima raises a brow, "Cassius Warrington." he states causing the man to scowl.

Warrington scowls, "I said don't lie to me!"

Fudge makes his presence known as he tries to calm his colleague, "Billius, he's been giving Veritaserum, he cannot lie and any attempts to force the issue will not look good for your character!" he quickly says, quelling the mans rage for now.

Warrington continues, "Who attack whom first in the conflict between you and Cassius Warrington?"

Reima "Cassius Warrington." he says yet again, feeling sorry for himself at having to say a background characters name so much.

Warrington "Why did you attack Cassius Warrington?"

Reima stifles a smirk as he slowly speaks, "I retaliated against Cassius Warrington after he cast an exploding curse at me and my friends, I never wished to fight with him but he was so eager in trying to persuade me to sleep with him that I was afraid for my anal virginity."

...

Warrington "WHAT!" he shouts as the Auror's all starts chuckling at Reima's words, even Snape is shocked that one of his Slytherins would try and force themselves on a male like that.

Reima tries to think of something that'd moisten his eyes but isn't able to draw out the crocodile tears, instead he covers his face with a hand and quietly mutters, "He wanted to make my girlfriend watch as he violated me in-front of her, I was scared and so I kicked him."

Warrington is almost foaming at the mouth in rage at what he was hearing, his knew his son wasn't gay... Didn't he? He glares at the Auror holding the recording device and tells him to turn it off and delete what was discussed here.

Fudge "I think... We are done here?" he says, wondering if he'd still be paid by Warrington for this.

Warrington nods quickly and stomps out of the room and is quickly followed by the rest, leaving Reima in an empty classroom trying to not laugh until he can no longer hear their footsteps.
