40.

<Narrator's P. O. V. >

Luna and others went inside their trunk and then entered Ela's realm from there. They directly appeared in the dining room and immediately took their seat.

"Good job everyone. Now lets first fill our stomachs then you have to go sleep in your dorms. " Finishing with the dinner Ela instructed them once more.

"Remember to put all kinds of wards and security around your dorm beds and room. Tomorrow morning Dumbledore will definitely ask some of you to go meet him in his office. Just say you will go after having breakfast. We will enter great hall 2-3 minute after owls deliver newspaper."

After all the kids went out, Ela said to her wives-"Amelia, Augusta, Alice and Marlene, you come with me. Others can watch from here or take a rest."

Ela and others directly appeared in Amelia's office in ministry of magic.

"Amelia, you order Rufus scrimgeour and Alastor Moody to appear here in 15 minutes. Augusta, send one of your house elf and tell Barty Crouch sr. to come meet us here. Fudge and other relevant people will be here by then."

Amelia did as Ela asked her to do without hesitation. After waiting for some time, on by one came, Fudge with Edwin and Williams Creed, Rufus Scrimgeour, Alastor Moody and Crouch. Ela also brought(kidnapped) Professor Charity Burbage and the ghost of Cuthbert Binns.

"Sit down" Ela commanded from her seat and Moody, Rufus, Binns, Barty and Burbage were made to sit forcefully no matter how much they tried to resist.

"Alastor drink this potion. It will undo all the magic and potion given to you with the purpose of enslaving your mind and will."

"And why would I follow your words. Albus was right to say that you are a bad news.

Amelia, you know me. I drink a flushing draught daily just for this purpose. I dont know what this lass told you but you should not make such a rookie mistake." Alastor said looking towards Amelia.

"Oh! so you have been taking a flushing draught daily. very good. But do tell us Moody, from where do you get those flushing draught and it's ingredients? "

Hearing this Moody's expression changed abruptly. He understood what Ela wanted to convey. He looked at Ela and Amelia intently and after getting a nod from Amelia his expression turned even more ugly.

"Give that to me" He raised his hand to take that bottle of potion and after looking at it with his magical eyes and sniffing it, gulped it down in one go.

"uughh... " suddenly his body started to twitch and spasm and only stopped after five minutes.

"Fucking Bastard." He growled while clutching the chair tightly to stabilize his out of breath body.

Ignoring Alastor, Ela turned her focus to the two professors.

"Cuthbert Binns.." Taking a deep breath Ela continued. "You have my respect."

Everyone except for his wives looked towards her with shocked faces. Specially creed brothers as they knew that Ela was a literal goddess.

"Everybody thinks that Binns history lessons are most useless and boring. You only talk about goblins and your lecture makes students sleep.

What they dont know is that in your search for history you chanced upon a book by Rowena Ravenclaw in which it was written about the true nature of goblins. When you tried to investigate about it in detail you were caught by them and they controlled you using imperious and poisoned you.

You died in your sleep but your soul held on subconsciously. You tried to warn others but no one believed you so you try to make young witches and wizards realise the dangers they pose.

When Dumbledore became the headmaster of Hogwarts he tried to remove you and appoint a new history professor. But you stubbornly held on and forcefully intruded all the history lessons to teach the true history.

Dumbledore could not do anything about it so he cursed the history classroom makin all the students feel extremely sleepy. Only those who are masters of efficiency aspect of occlumency can counter the curse but it is a shame that students are not taught that subject anymore due to Flamel's interference." Ela elaborated for everyone to know.

"I only did what I can." Binns replied smiling.

Ela nodded to him and looked towards Barty.

"Bartemius Crouch sr.. Love made you do many foolish things.

During the first war against Voldemort, you got to know that your son is a death eater. You were ruthless enough to throw him in Azkaban but not ruthless enough to decline your wife's last dying wish.

You left your wife in prison who was polyjuiced to look like your son and has been keeping your son under control using imperious curse. Let me show you what will happen without my interference." Ela snapped her fingers and a screen appeared which showed how Barty jr. fled during world cup and then helped Voldemort killed his own father.

"Charity Burbage, I advise you to flee from magical Britain using the first opportunity you get tonight. Otherwise this is what will happen with you." Ela showed her how she was captured, tortured and then killed by Voldemort.

"Think about your decision while I talk to these gentlemen, as I can help you leave this country tonight without letting anyone know.

Professor Binns, tomorrow I will go to Hogwarts as the High inquisitor, I will help you pass on to the afterlife. As a reward of your efforts, I bless you to lead a happy and content life in your next life."

Just as Ela said these words, everyone in the room felt a devine might emanating from Ela. They were shell shocked to see Ela's godly form.

"Congratulations mr. Binns." Ela's wives happily congratulated the history professor as then knew that very very few can get blessed by Ela.

Just then Professor Burbage also came to her decision." I have decided. I want leave Hogwarts. Tomorrow morning I will give my resignation letter to Dumbledore and then leave Britain with my family."

"I can not let you do that mrs. Burbage. What I want you to do is write your resignation letter and stay in your room in Hogwarts. Tomorrow morning during breakfast I will come to Hogwarts with some people, only then you will leave your room with all your things and directly give your resignation to Dumbledore in front of the whole school."

Barty, Burbage and Rufus had a confused look on their faces listening to Ela, so she told them about Dumbledore and Snape being the hidden Dark lords.

"Now professors, do you have any objection? "

"We will do as you say." Both the professors replied in unison.

"Good." Nodding, Ela waved her hand and both the professors again appeared in their rooms in Hogwarts. After that Ela looked towards Rufus.

"Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour, you are a very dedicated and responsible employee of MOM, but during these dark times, you are not adequate enough to handle these situations. You can neither handle Dumbledore and Grindelwald nor Voldemort.

Other then these three you will also have to fight Goblins, Vampires, Werewolves, Trolls, Giants, Dementors, Dragons , Phoenixes and a thousand year old Basilisk.

You will also have to fight against Grindelwald' alliance, Dumbledore's order of phoenix and Voldemort's death eaters many of whom are employed by various ministries and even many of your aurors are their people."

Scrimgeour and Crouch were shaking in fear and even Moddy's face was pale from fright.

"I can save you and this world from them. I have enough power and more than enough forces to win this inevitable war. You three can either play important role in this or I can erase tonight's memory and let you witness the death of your loved ones.

See this is how you all will die."

Ela again showed them how they will be cruelly killed in this war after they are of no use to them.

"So what do you three decide. Follow me and become my subordinates or I can erase your memories right away."

Looking finished and left the silence hanging patiently. After some 10 minutes Scrimgeour sat up straight and told his decision. "I am willing to follow your every order."

"Knowing I am following a goddess, I can finally rest easy" Moody relaxed in his chair and said with a relieved smile.

"I too am willing to follow you." Crouch said with a determined expression. He already knew that he will have nothing left. The love of his life has already died, his son is gonna be killed anyway so his house is also gonna perish.

"I am ready to die for your cause, I just hope that if there is any concept of Karma then you will forgive my wife. She was just blinded by her love for her son.." Crouch said emotionally remembering his wife.

"You will not die. None of you will. At least not in this war.

Scrimgeour and Moody will be able to spend their retirement with their children and Crouch, your wife will be happy in her afterlife." Ela assured them confidently.
