68 The first of many to came

"Alex, it good to see you once again."Not buying his grandfather smile, he says.

"It's Heir Evans for you Fumbledore, you want something?"

"Yes, I wanted to discuss with you the possibility to release young Wiliam Weasley."

"He is in goblin's hand, as long as the debt isn't settled, they won't release him."

"But they don' have that much of money to spare..."

"I don't care about where the money came, as long as it's pay. I specified that they would be released only after it due."

"So you won't mind if I do?" Says the man with an already contract in hand.

"Go ahead." Seeing the path clear, the man approach, put the document on the table before looking at him.

"I just need your signature on the document."

He nods at this and signs, giving it to Dumbles to do so. Once done, the man hastily says.

"Minerva, take care of everything else, will you? I need to hurriedly set him free."

"While you're at this, you can tell his wife that her husband has died in Azkaban."

""What?!""

While Dumbledore runs out of the hall completely unphased by the news, one couldn't say the same thing from the twins.

"Well, you don't know but the situation at the prison isn't really good now, Dementors have vanished and the top of the tower is frozen solid, all the inmates in the high-security cells are dead, and your father was also serving his sentence there, so he pretty much end like ice cubes, oh! Potter, your mother also is dead, the same thing, so sorry. Speaking of dead, Poppy, aren't you see if Lord Potter is still alive?"

This broke the hold on the medic witch who only realizes now that she has two injured to heal. She first goes to Lord Potter, but with the size of the pool of blood bled out by his stump, it was rather clear as of his fate. A couple of diagnostics spells later and she shakes her head sadly.

"Bleed out?" Ask Alex curious?

"Along with suffocation, the spell of Professor Lockart has vanished the ribcage, the lungs have to compress the heart, making bleed out faster, and without the ribcage, the lungs have collapsed and where unable to bring the oxygen."

"So... Did a professor of Hogwarts just kill a Lord of an Ancient and Noble House?"

His words made them all realize that it was indeed the case. As all turn white, Alex turns to James.

"Sorry dude, it seems like you orphan now, but hey, look at the bright side, your fourteen, you are now the new Lord Potter, it must count for something, right?"

This was too much for the boy who just awake and faint again, making Alex shake its head.

"What a sissy. So I was told that they're a tournament ongoing but I wasn't told who was my opponent?"

"I know!" He turns to Luna.

"Who?"

"Humm, Victor, Fleur, Cedric, James, and you!" Says her happily while pointing at each, making Alex look at them."So an international seeker for Durmstrang, the daughter of the french DMLE head for Beauxbatons, a flower boy and a sissy eunuch for Hogwarts? And Fudge thinks that Britain will win? I once again astonished by the stupidity of the man."

Saying this he near the staff table and directly go for the french representative, Bowing in front of her.

"Veuillez m'excuser de ne m'être presenter à vous le moment de mon arriver. Je me presente, Alexandre Daren Evans, Heritier du clan Evans, pour vous servir, madame."

Like their Headmistress, all of the students of Beauxbatons were surprised that he speaks a fluent french. Raising her hand to him, he takes it before kissing the back of her hand.

"Vous êtes excuser, monsieur Evans. Je dois dire que je ne m'attendez pas a rencontrer quelqu'un ici ayant pris la peine d'étudier d'autre languge que la sienne."

"Malheureusement le niveau academique d'Hogwarts à chuter terriblement, laissant seulement rustre completer leur etudes ici."

This trigger a wave of laugher for them while Alex smirk.

"Si vous voulez bien m'excuser, j'ai une autre person a saluer."

"Faite donc." Say her, making him send him a small nod.

Making a round of the table, he stopped in front of the Headmaster of Durmstrang.

"While I don't speak your language like the one of Madam Maxim, allow me to transmit the same message, I welcome you and your students in this castle, while it won't be up to the standard of your, I hope that you will pass an agreeable moment and for the duration of the tournament," says Alex, looking at the man straight in the eyes.

Igor didn't know what to say of the boy but until then he has stay courteous of him and his school unlike all the British representant, so he opts for the safest way, nod and takes the outstretched hand in a solid hand check.

"Thank your, Mista Evans."

"Your welcome Headmaster Karkaroff. On this if your must excuse me I still hadn't had breakfast yet!"

He returns to the Ravenclaw table and sits, rapidly followed by Luna.

"Sunny?"

"Yes, master?" Says the Elf as he appears in front of all in his form-fitting butler outfit, Evans' crest clearly displayed on the breast pocket.

"A bowl of cut fruits with a 33Cl bottle of the n°6 please, as for Luna, I think that is time for them to be tested, please bring one of each for her to taste."

"All of them master?" Say the Elf a little worried.

"Yes, all, don't worry, she can take it."

The elf nods seriously at this and a second later, a bowl with an assortment of bites sized cut fruits appears in large bowl enough to feed four large eaters. On the side a clear bottle containing a clear light purple juice follow. as for Luna, another squeal of delight resound in the all when fifteen different puddings appear in front of her, most of them containing small-sized cut fruits.

Each of them was as large as plate and high of the half, not that this seems to bother the girl as she starts to demolish them with frightening speed.

"... And it around there that you show up." Say Alex while taking out the two wands, giving them to the ex-Auror who nods at this.

"You want the memory too?"

"You would?"

"Why not? Not my fault those moron assault me. You will need to take it through" He says as a vial appears on the table.

The Ex-Auror retrieves the memory at the nod of Alex, before storing in the vial and performing a couple of charms on it.

"So what is it?" Say the gruff man as he pokes the bottle of juice with the tip of his wand.

"Hum, this one is N°6, so grape, raspberry, and sweet apple. No added sugar or anything else, 100% pure juice."

"N°6?"

"Well I do possess a rather large orchard that gives tons of more than fifty different fruits, I need to do something with them."

While they were talking, a group of Aurors, lead by Amelia Bones finally appears. When they see two bodies on the ground, one soaking in his own pool of blood and the other with his four broken limbs while Moody was talking and eating fruits with a known criminal it was mindblowing.

"Your late Amelia, everything already over, the boy has given testimony and memory, Lockart has killed Lord Potter. Send me a few of those fruits later boy." Says Moody as he rises and limps away after giving the wands and memories to Tonks.

"Sure, will do."

Says Alex before he turns his head to Luna, take serious air while taking out a stack of fifteen sheets of paper and a ballpen. "Okay young lady, time for the real deal I want you to note everything you think of those puddings honestly."

Taking an equal serious air, she starts to go through the sheets in second.

"Done, were my prize?"

He takes out the two bunnies from under the table, leaving them in plain sight. Amelia and Tonks whiten while Luna release yet again another squeal of pure glee.

"Crumple-horned snorkack!"

"There are female and male, so you can have a few more. They eat anything that is alive so either veggie or meat is good, no mineral, it's hurt their tummy, those ones are still young so they will grow a little more. Their horn falls once a year and is quite sturdy, as much as steel and sharp so be careful. The best way is to recover them with a sheath of dragonhide, this way they won't wander stabbing peoples. They like cold and snowy areas, for now, it good but later it won't. I will hold on them until the weekend alright?"

"Okay!"

It was at that moment that the Raven girls return their arms full of stuff. Sunny appears and snaps his fingers when nothing happened, he nods at Alex and vanishes with it, returning it to Luna trunk before adding security charms.

While this was happening, Dumbledore was sent in the office of Headcrusher after showing the document to a teller, completely mistaking his smile.

"What can I do for you Mr.Dumbledore?" This made the old man frown a little, the loss of his titles was still a sore subject.

"I came to take out Mister Weasley and his mother from your custody, this time you won't stop me right?"

Reading the document attentively, he asks for a goblin that exit and enter the office rapidly, with another document. Reading the other to he turns to a waiting Dumbledore.

"Are you sure you want to activate contract clauses? This is not a Gringotts contract, all parties will lose any possibility to retract after this point."

"I do, as so the other concerned party."

"So be it."

He stamps the document, making it shown a white light.

"The rest of the debt of the Weasley have been transferred to you and paid, Mr.Dumbledore, Mr.Weasley, and Widow Weasley will await you on your way back. Do you have any other business to go through?"

"Yes, I want to activate the secondary clauses." Says the old Wizard with a victorious smirk on his face, a rather disconcerting and unseen from him.

"Very well, the concerned vault content will entirely be transferred to the designed one."

"Thank you."

The old Wizzard exit the office and soon the bank along with a woman attempting to flood the Alley and a haggard man who may have been handsome at a point of his life but the last three years in the mines have snuffed any light in his eyes, leaving nothing but an empty shell.

In his office, Headcrusher calls for the Dumbledore account manager, giving a copy of the two contracts. Reading them, the Goblin sigh, disenchanted.

"It seems that I will need to ban Mr.Dumbledore for Gringotts list of customer, regretfully his account has been emptied, I would have gained quite a few Galleon on this. Your customer, Heir Evans is a good customer, bringing your clan riches."

"That he does!" Grin Headcrusher at the misfortune of his fellow goblin, but such his the life of a goblin banker, one could lose everything in a single misjudged contract like the one Mr.Dumbledore tried to make Alex sign. only to be exchanged for one of is own when the old man's gaze slips off the document. This simple action has consequences to legally empty any holding of the old man to him. Soon those galleons will vanish from Gringotts, forever unable for anyone to reclaim them.
