Plot

Prologue

WEREWOLF: HARRY POTTER

The leaders of the 22 Spectrum nations and a visiting diplomat, Whitmorium, were gathered around a large circular table in the Spectrum parliament building. There was much arguing, ceaseless arguing in fact - nobody was sure who was in charge and who wasn’t! Mushy Pea was clinging to power precariously with several contenders proclaiming their desire to be delegate. Then – amid the raucous assembly – there was a loud CRACK! Like the crack of a whip. Then from nowhere, in the centre of the room stood a strange pedestal; atop the pedestal there was a shallow stone basin. The basin was carved with odd runes and symbols. Its white-silver liquidy contents glowed faintly and the room was silent in awe. So silent in awe that seven Spectrum members had just died from shock. Whitmorium also lay dead, were he not silent in awe before dying, his last words would have undoubtedly been “not again”.

Calumnius, being the most stupid of the group, approached the basin. It had an attractive property; he touched the liquid’s cloud like surface and instantly was sucked into the basin. One by one, the rest of the group were attracted by the basin’s apparent magnetism and were sucked in too.

After being seemingly sucked in, the Spectrites were transported to what was seemingly an office, the surrounding objects were amazing and not before long several portraits on the wall starting moving about in their frames as if woken from a daze. It was suddenly noticed that Calumnius was missing. Yet Oldham Road looked up on the wall in front of them and discovered Calumnius in a frame on the wall. Yet somehow it wasn’t quite Calumnius.

“Calumnius!” Oldham Road shouted...perhaps with a hint of apathy. The rest of the group looked up at the portrait of Calumnius. Somehow Calumnius had managed to grow a beard and had found a rather cool looking hat, but it seemed to be Calumnius all the same. And he began to speak...

“Alas! I have become a portrait. As you may have guessed, I am no longer entirely Calumnius, I am also Dumbledore.” He gave the group a couple of seconds the digest this slightly strange fact – but then again being transported in a basin to a strange room had been strange enough.

“I have been appointed custodian over you, what is to occur, is terrible. Terrible but great. Change is happening to you all too, as it happened to me, but it is on the inside. You will remain outwardly yourselves but inwardly – you are someone else. Some of you already know you are evil, the others may be good – but ultimately it is up to you to decide who is and who isn't. Just remember, After all, to the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure. We meet in the department of mysteries at the Ministry of Magic, this very eve to start our journey towards that adventure.”

With that Calumnius / Dumbledore vanished from his portrait to leave the rest of the group bemused.

It is day. Day One Vote: Monday evening, as I want you all to have talked to each other before the first vote. Good luck.

Day One

The group assembled in Courtroom 10, level 10 of the ministry of magic. It was a dark stone room and the walls were lit with dim torches. The group sat in rows of benches on one side of the room while a chair with chains on it sat in the centre of the room.

The portrait of Dumbledore was carried into the room by a man, called Filch, he put the painting down in the middle of the rows of benches and left the room.

“I call to the stand, Mushy Pea,” said Dumbledore loudly. Mushy Pea left the benches and sat in the chair, the chains remained still – for now. “Who here believe her to be evil?”

Hands shot up en mass but then down again quickly until only three hands remained. “I think that puts you in the clear for now, thank you – you may return to your seat.” Mushy Pea left the chair and went back to the benches.

“I call to the stand, Sabrateur” called Dumbledore. Sabrateur got up; he was looking worried, but somewhat resolute. He sat down in the chair. “Who here believe Sabrateur to be evil?”

A bunch of hands shot up, some went down and then back up again. Dumbledore waited, he knew how strange these things were. He counted 8 hands in the air. “That’s enough then. We find the accused guilty!” The chains on the chair moved quickly securing Sabrateur. He muttered something about a fair trial but was ignored.

“I say, Enthalpy, if you wouldn’t mind could you hover Sabrateur down the hall way and follow us. I lost the use of a wand...when....well, when I became a portrait.” Filch came back in, picked up Dumbledore’s portrait and they went out of the door. Enthalpy Change followed with Sabrateur hovering on a chair behind him. The rest of the group was led down the hall way and into the Department of Mysteries.

Dumbledore being Dumbledore chose the correct door right away in the department’s entrance. The one leading to the death chamber. The group sat on the stone ledges, while Filch put Dumbledore down at one side of a dais where there was a strange archway, covered by a veil – the veil was fluttering slightly, as if in a breeze – but there was no breeze. “Enthalpy put him down on the dais” Dumbledore commanded.

“You have made your choice, beyond the veil lies death. We knew there would be deaths – this is but the beginning. Filch, commit him”

Filch pushed the chair backwards and it fell backwards – Sabrateur let out a loud cry as he tumbled backwards and beyond the veil. Then it was over – Sabrateur was gone.

“Now, I can tell you friends, that Sabrateur was Ron. He only ever wanted to protect people. Now you can return to Hogwarts for the night, and we will see what happens next!”

Dumbledore left his portrait and left the group to their own devices.

Vote Day 1 Sabrateur is executed – Protector.
