[Inside Nott Manor]
A crowd was gathered inside a huge eting room and even so amateur would be able to tell that everyone gathered here were pureblood supremacists to the core. If soone like Alia Bones or Alastor Moody would take a look inside here then they would find that every one present in this room has claid the Imperious Defence. But the topic of the eting not a good one… it was completely clear with the atmosphere in the room.
"We need to do sothing about this and quick!" Amycus Carrow decided to say when he saw that the entire room was silent and was sulking even before they were speaking. A lot of Family Heads nodded their head in agreent with Amycus.
"Yes, we know, but we need to be careful with this too" Lord Smith said from the other side of the table. He wasn't a Death Eater but he was a pureblood supremacist to the core along with his family. After all, they still pride themselves to have a connection with Helga Hufflepuff. Of course, their they weren't direct descendants so they weren't able to claim ownership of Hogwarts like the Ravenclaws.
Yes, if there was a direct descendant of Hufflepuff line then the Ravenclaws would have to share Hogwarts with them Both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff would have half control over it.
"But ti is the one thing we don't have Lord Smith" Lord Parkinson said hearing Lord Smith's argunt. Yes, he agreed that they needed to bide their ti to gather more information but ti was the one thing that they didn't have.
"I completely agree with Lord Parkinson here, ti is the one thing we don't have. In last three years how much have we lost? And just think how much are we losing by each passing mont… if this keeps going on then then within next year we would be nothing" Lord Nott spoke for the first ti. His voice was solemn and filled with venom at the sa ti.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Walden Macnair asked.
At this mont this was the most important question and no one expected Macnair to ask such an important question. The problem was they can't attack the factories as they have found out that none of the factories could be found. So of them even forgot the location of those factories which Ravenclaws took over during the debt collection. They only had the location of shops and store and no matter what they can't destroy them openly after all the glory days were gone when they would openly kill, ****, torture, and destroy. There wasn't a Dark Lord this ti after all.
Even if they attacked the shops, they would gain nothing as each store was run by max of five muggleborns or half-blood wizards. Yes, if they attacked all the stores and destroyed them then it would have been a great blow to the Ravenclaws but the problem was that they can't do that as they didn't a huge force to attack in such coordination and a few months ago those damn Ravenclaws with their rlin-damned alliance had passed a bill that would shopkeepers to retaliate with lethal force if soone attacks them, no matter who the attackers are.
This bill was a sour topic for everyone in the room, they had heard so previous report that no matter how nonchalant, perverted or aloof Lady Ravenclaw looked she was a vicious politician and knew how bend her words to get sothing done when needed. But they were wrong… as Lady Ravenclaw might have spoken those words but they were taught her by soone else.
When the bill was introduced all of them were completely livid all of them were thinking the sa thing. 'How dare she take our right, right we get being a pureblood from us?'. But the argunt Lady Ravenclaw gave shut them up as if anyone of them had protested then they would openly be insulting themselves and there was no way in hell that their ego would let them do it.
Lady Ravenclaw's words were 'I know upstanding and respectful citizens like you would never do anything like this, I am doing this because of thieves and other degenerates. All of the respectable mbers would be visiting these shops from ti to ti, we can't lower our standards, right?' It didn't need soone with three-digit iq to figure out what she was pointing at. And with this bill passed Lady Ravenclaw donated a huge sum of money to Mada Bones for her Departnt. So, the bill was passed and here they were unable to attack the shops.
"We need to attack the Ravenclaws directly, filthy mud blood scums don't know their standing in this world. They are the centre of that filthy alliance of blood-traitors" Alecto Carrow spat in blinding rage.
No one in the room disagreed with her, for them it was true as Ravenclaws were the easiest target and if they were able to kill them then the alliance they had made would collapse on their own. Yes, the factor that muggleborns were able to claim the Lordship of such a prestigious family was another blow to their pureblood ego.
"I have been making a plan since last 6 months regarding this matter and last week I have finally found a solution" Lord Nott said in a smug voice and leaned down on the table.
"So, what is it? Be out with it" Yaxley said impatiently. Everyone else in the room shared his emotions as they were also interested in hearing the plan.
"Let's say if we send a letter of challenge to Lady Ravenclaw saying that I or soone else in this room is wishing to challenge her to an wizards duel…" Lord Nott was saying but he was cut off by Lord Parkinson impatiently.
"Yes, we all know that but we all know that she has the Lady ring which gives her magic" Lord Parkinson said.
"Are you scared of girl now?" Jugson mocked Lord Parkinson and a shouting match began between Lord Parkinson and Jugson. Finally, unable to hold back Lord Nott silenced the room and began to tell his plan again.
"Yes, we would challenge her but we would be adding a small clause about being a man and accept challenge. If she accepts then instead of her the challenge will pass onto 2nd year student Edgar Ravenclaw. I have heard that Vicky Ravenclaw loves her family lets see… what happens when she loses one" Lord Nott finished with a vicious smile on his face. Now, everyone in the room was smiling viciously.
"I don't want to ruin the fun… but they could reject the challenge" Lord Smith said, hearing him so of the group nodded their heads as they too agreed with him.
"That would be a welco result too, as all of we know, wizarding duels are not issued lightly and if you reject a challenge then you lose your image and honour. If Vicky Ravenclaw rejects the challenge then she loses her honour and I can say with guarantee that it would throw their alliance down an internal power struggle" Lord Parkinson said in a happy voice as he was already seeing all this happen in his mind.
"That would make implode them on their own" Lord Nott finished while nodding their head.
"So, who is going to challenge Vicky Ravenclaw" Walden Macnair asked an important question again. After a few seconds of silence completely passed everyone turned their eyes towards Lord Nott who was already holding a letter in his hands.
"It would be of course, after all I was the one who made the plan" Lord Nott said with a toothy grin, nobody in the room rebutted him. Yes, anyone to defeat Ravenclaw family in a wizarding duel would gain so respect but they decided to sit back and watch the show for the mont.
With the decision done Lord Nott send the owl with the letter of challenge and other letter to Daily Prophet to let them know about the challenge after all they can't let this matter get buried.
[In an Unknown Island] [POV Reo(Edgar)]
I looked at both of my sides and a huge goofy grin appeared on my face. After all, won't have a goofy grin if you would be getting a tan with your lovers on a private beach where all of you could be completely naked so that no tan marks are there.
Currently there were only five people on this island. , obviously, Momo, Rumi, Nemuri, and Dora who finished her training just a week ago and beca a full-fledged Junior Auror. She ca to the island via portkey the day before yesterday. After the day I ca back from Hogwarts I decided to spend so gold and brought this small island near Costa Rica. After buying the island and Momo spent about five days to completely ward this island and made it completely unplottable. So, now owls would be able to find us here but that could be a problem so we decided to take mail box from Gringotts who were happy to provide their services… with a discount this ti because our business was flourishing which ant their own accounts were flourishing too.
Suddenly the mail box vibrated and Momo pulled out the letter without care. We weren't worried about curses or sothing on them as the letter ca through Gringotts and in Gringotts they took their jobs seriously, no matter what. Momo opened the letter and with an amused smile she handed the letter to Nemuri. Nemuri read out the letter out loud and she found it really stupid that they thought that she wouldn't find out that if she accepted the challenge Reo would be the one fighting. Of course, we knew wizarding people were stupid what more do you expect from them.
"So, what do you say?" Nemuri asked .
"Accept it what else, I should make an example of Lord Nott after all. It's a rare chance to kill a Lord legally and get away" I said with a gentle smile on my face…
