End of Rant

I had a look of exasperation on my face, as I turned to the ladies.

"Ladies, do you see the flaw in your respective husband's logical deduction?"

My mother seriously shook her head, while my grandma had an amused look. "I don't sweetheart, but I love how you are acting so mature and grown up. It is seriously so cute. So tell us darling, why the insignificant departments would be the priority for the Dark Lord, and not the Unspeakable, Auror and Hitwizard forces? I am quite curious myself."

I sighed like Sherlock did at Dr. Watson. I wish I could say, "How boring it must be for your slow and pathetic brains?" But unfortunately, given that they are my family, and get offended at the obscure reference, I decide to explain instead of sneer.

"Well, if the up and coming Dark Lord was an established force, with ample supporters and a desire to integrate the mundane populace with power, then yes those law enforcement departments would be the ideal departments to turn, corrupt or outright target. But that is not the case!"

I inhaled deeply and continued. "The Dark Lord is new, his infamy short lived and nonexistent. His feats of glory and awe-inspiring deeds almost vacant. He has no loyal followers apart from the scant few radicalists, who are bound to desert him, once he is seen as vulnerable. So as a Dark Lord, what would his agenda be?"

I didn't wait for an answer. "He would work with guerrilla tactics and asymmetric warfare with hit and run methods to invoke fear in the masses. He would likely do something to make people afraid to say his name, something horrible which would include choosing targets who would be made an example of. Both on the blood purists side, to threaten others to follow him, and someone from the common people, which would terrify the people, and cause panic and inaction."

"And for these raids to succeed, he needs the Aurors to be delayed from responding in time, and targets from escaping their attacks. This can be completed, by controlling the Department of Transportations. And to terrify people, like father said, he needs dark creatures. That means, creatures like Werewolves, vampires, banshees, hags, giants, and even dementors. These creatures could only be tracked down by the Department of Registrations, Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures and Obliviators. If he fails now from grace and power, but is capable enough to rise again, then he would already have these seemingly innocuous departments under control.

He would then, use these departments to infiltrate the apparently useful and important ones. But for now, as is, I can be certain if he is competent, he would target these departments for maximum impact."

I could also see, how despite the soul-rending Phylactery practises which may have made Voldemort insane when he returned during cannon, but to come so close to total domination of an entire magical society was quite an achievement.

And yet, it seems, the moment anything has to do with Potter, the Dark Lord is driven off his rockers. Stupid convoluted plots and off the screen by-plays, were utterly unnecessary, when he could have simply allowed his followers to try and assassinate his supposed "equal".

Even when he returned in Little Hangleton, during the Triwizard Tournament, he could have allowed the other followers to Crucio the little bigger, instead of allowing the farce of a Honourable Duel. But Alas! Voldemort didn't have access to Overlord's List, like we "gentlemen" do.

And that reminded me, I had to go for my Oclumency lessons. I had started the basic meditation, clearing your mind spiel, and found out rudely, that there is no mind palace bullshit.

By clearing my mind, I simply control my stray thoughts, and I am able to focus and concentrate on the task at hand, without getting distracted.

There was no overwhelming advantage with Oclumency, that 'I am the first to discover, and apparently the thousands of witches and wizards were stupid enough, to not find any uses to this Charles-Xavier-style-Telepathy-inducing-super-skill called Oclumency'. This wasn't that type of world. Here witches and wizards were shrewd, calculating and as I found out, quite creative with the resources at hand.

I was praised and complemented for analysing the politics, but with only my lip service, and no proof to offer, my family would need some time to see how right I was in my prediction. And so would I get to see, how consistent the plot progression was as cannon, And how many of my deductions were accurate.

This was scary, as I was afraid of being involved with the plot, and having to kill or be killed at the hands of terrorists, who who offer me a fate worse than death if I stood in their way. And in a way, I was hoping for them all to come for me! Because, I will be ready!

Agent 47's greatest overwhelming advantage was his resourceful mind, his relentless focus and sheer will. And, these qualities were complemented with his tough as a bitch training. And now that I see just what kind of man he was at the end of his life, I feel my utmost respect for the memories and experiences I have inherited.

And that is why, I am not afraid of whatever challenges I will face. Because I have an ample resourceful mind with experiences of the greatest assassin in the world, bar none, and bitches!I am just getting started.
