Ch.88 Another day another show
"What?!" A shriek was heard throughout the Greengrass manor. Bella entered her husband's study to know what was the cause of the shreik.
"What happened?" Bella asked as she entered the room only to find Florian rubbing his forehead and shaking his head. She saw he was talking to Ed through that new Tv. Both of them looked quite distressed and it just added to her worry.
Florian saw Bella and then looked at Ed and said, "I'll do something." Ed nodded and the call ended between the two and the Tv shut down.
Florian sighed and leaned back on his chair and Bella walked towards him and rubbed his shoulders and Florian put his hands on hers and she asked, "What happened? Is everything alright? Did something happened to Jon?"
Florian turned the chair around and held Bella's hand and said, "He got arrested."
"What?" Bella was shocked to hear it and understandably so. "Why? What did he do?"
"Not that clear yet, but it can't be any good… they took him to the ministry for questioning. I'm going to go and talk to Fudge about it. He'll do something about it."
Florian got up and Bella asked, "Do you think he did something bad? Will he be okay?"
Florian nodded and said, "I'll do everything I can to get him out as soon as I can."

Somewhere in Brazilian Ministry of Magic inside a dingy room Jon was being held and was being questioned about his involvement in the whole situation and let's just say he wasn't doing himself any favors.
"So what were you doing there?" A tall looking black man asked Jon as he paced around the room.
"As I have been saying… I was just getting lunch when I got jumped by that skinny ass bitch." The man stared him down "Lies!' and slammed his hand on the table and Jon just looked at him not impressed and asked, "Where is my manager?"
Another equally as tall brown guy stepped forward and stopped the black man and said, "I'm sorry for my partner… he just flies off the handle sometimes you know?" He then sat down and smiled, "I have to say I was looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, but you know… seeing you up close. It's just unreal."
Jon sighed and said, "Look, I just want to get out of here…"
The brown guy cut off Jon and said, "I want that too, so just come-operate with us. What were you doing there really?"
Jon sighed and said, "Like I have been saying from the time you guys arrested me… I was getting lunch, I saw a guy following me, I tried to get away from him. He apparated behind me and took me there into the forest. Tried to kill me failed and then turned into that fire troll."
The tall man scoffed "Bullshit."the brown guy smiled and said, "Okay and then you used that dark spell… which is interesting cause no 3rd year can do that? Want to explain that?"
Jon shrugged his shoulders and said, "Explain what? That troll was made of cursed fire… and I didn't know anything else that would've helped and besides if I didn't use that spell half the amazon would be up in smokes by now."
The brown guy smiled and said, "So you did use that…"
Suddenly the door was flung wide open and a woman entered the room with Ed. Jon sighed and slammed his hand on the table, "Finally."
The woman looked poised and calm and asked the two men, "Parera, Santos… can you tell me why wasn't I informed that you had unlawfully held a minor and were interrogating him?"
The black man was quick to try and give an excuse, "We caught him perfo…"
"Not a word out of you Santos… I'm well aware of your position and I'm this close to firing you. And you Parera"
"He just confessed?"
"I didn't sign anything and I didn't have an adult or a legal representative present during the alleged confession… so none of it would be useful to you." Jon smiled and Ed just had a wry smile as the woman looked over to Jon and Ed.
"Come Mr. House."
Jon got up from his seat and said, "Well, it was to see you guys play, good cop, bad cop."
Jon was walking with Ed and the woman who he just assumed was the head of the Brazilian Ministry. "What took you so long?" Jon asked Ed
"Let's talk about it after we get out of here shall we?" Ed smiled wryly and Jon just shrugged his shoulders.
"They were at the gate of the ministry and the woman said, "I apologies for it all but the circumstances weren't that great."
"It's alright I suppose… and thank you for getting me out of there."
She smiled wryly and said, "I'm also sorry for this." She pointed her wand and Jon had these cuffs on his hands for a second and they disappeared as soon as it appeared, "It's just a precaution… they'll be gone as soon as you leave. Again I apologize."
Jon smiled and squinted then just nodded and walked out of the building without saying anything.
Ed caught up with him and asked, "You should have thanked her."
"I did."
Ed scoffed and asked, "You going to tell me what happened?"
"Yeah but after we get out of here."

Next day was the show and the people were very excited for it but not Jon. He was a little burned by Brazil and it kinda left a bad taste in his mouth. It was something that only Ed knew he hid it very well from others.
Ed and the others were backstage and Ed asked, "Just try and remember to be a little more careful and don't let them see you like that."
Jon scoffed and said, "I wouldn't do that to my fans. They paid for a show and they'll get a show a great one at that."
They were called out to the stage and Jon ran out of there with great enthusiasm and that was met with a great response from the crowd. Which was just a bunch of young girls and guys today unlike in Paris. Jon took hold of the mike and said, "Are you guys ready?!"
The crowd chanted and Jon chuckled and they started the show off with the song Bones.

Back in the Greengrass manor in Daphne's room, the girls were having a watching party. All of them knew about the arrest and weren't that shocked by it. They knew it would've happened sooner or later but they didn't think it would've happened in another country.
"What do you think he did?" Tracey asked as she ate chips she passed the tray but Victoria and Daphne refused and Daphne said, "Dark magic."
Victoria and Tracey hummed and nodded "The whole thing was ridiculous… he was the one who was assaulted."
"It must have sucked." Victoria added
Jon came on to the stage looking all happy and cheery, "Or not…"
Victoria and Daphne scoffed, "He always does this… pretend that the problem don't exist than facing it."
Tracey now sighed and said, "Drop it you two." she ate chips again and Daphne asked, "How is that you ate all that and still not get fat?"
Victoria chuckled and said, "We all know where all that fat is going."
Tracey looked baffled and said, "I'm sorry, but I won't be judged by you two. You guys are just jealous."
Jon started singing and they all stopped and just listened to it. An hour passed and Jon still looked great and again like his last show he sat at the edge and said, "So guys the show's over and you know what I'm about to do… I'm feeling a little rowdy today."
He kept it short and without any banter and all it was odd to the girls and they said, "Something's up."
Jon grabbed the mic and the electric guitar started the song with Jon. He looked deranged but happy
🎵🎶
They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine
He banged his head to the beat and shouted the lyrics at the crowd and the crowd loved it.
They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
The crowd banged their head to the music and everyone was enjoying the show. He walked closer to the crowd and squatted down and sang again.
The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
"Every one with me!" He shouted and the crowd sang with him.
They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
Oh, yeah!
They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
"All together now!"
"Teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
"Teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me.
